Spines, Spirits & Shadows ✦ October Book Bingo
October has arrived, baddies — and it’s officially reading season. The air is crisp, the candles are lit, and the TBRs are getting darker by the day. To celebrate, I’m launching something new: Baddie Book Bingo.
Each month, I’ll drop a fresh board with prompts designed to push us out of our comfort zones, romanticise our rituals, and let us lean into different vibes. This isn’t about rules or “reading to fit in” — it’s about discovery, obsession, and making reading feel like a lifestyle.
And for October? The theme is ✦ Spines & Spirits ✦.
The Theme:
This board leans into all things spooky, moody, and autumnal. Think haunted corridors, witchy chaos, feral romances, and candlelit nights. It’s about chasing that atmospheric October feeling — the one that makes every book feel a little bit magical and a little bit menacing.
How to Play:
- Grab the bingo board (print, save to your phone, or recreate in your journal).
- Fill squares with any books, rituals, or vibes that match the prompts.
- Share your progress: post your tabbed lines, annotated pages, or shelfies with the hashtag #BaddieBookBingo.
- Join the community chat in Discord to swap recs and keep each other accountable.
Why Bingo?
Because it’s not just about what you’re reading — it’s about how you read it. Whether you’re cosying up in your reading nook, tabbing every villain monologue, or reaching for something completely out of your usual taste, each square is designed to romanticise your rituals and fuel your next obsession.
So, baddies — are you ready for Spines & Spirits? ✨ Print or save your board, light that candle, and let’s make October our most atmospheric reading month yet.
Because here, we don’t just read spooky season books — we make them a lifestyle.
