6. Day of the Programmer – September 13: On the 256th day of the year, the Day of the Programmer honors the innovators who continue to change the world, one program at a time. Nearly all aspects of our world benefit from the work of a programmer. This day is celebrated based on binary code (0s and 1s).
🍂 Read a book with a character who is a programmer or works in a technology-based field, or the character is made of, or has, some form on technology on/inside their body. You can also read an eBook; a book with some sort of technology, numbers, or a technological word on its cover; a book that is first in a series (book 1) or a prequel to a series (book 0); or a book with the numbers 2, 5, and 6 in any order in either its page count or release date.

7. Ghost Hunting Day – September 26: Ghost hunting invokes imagery of crumbling manors or abandoned shipwrecks, but not all ghosts are believed to reside in the dark, forgotten corners of the world. Ghost Hunting Day kicks off an annual investigation of the paranormal, whether it be of legendary or modern ghosts.
🍂 Read a book with a haunted location, a ghost, or some other paranormal spook in it, or read a book with a character “haunted” by the ghosts of their past. You can also read a book categorized on Goodreads as paranormal, a book with an eerie setting or cover art (your interpretation), or a book set in Kentucky – where the annual ScareFest celebrates National Ghost Hunting Day.

8. Fall Foliage Week: As the trees begin to turn beautiful hues of yellow, orange, and red, the season of autumn is ushered in by Fall Foliage Week.
🍂 Read a book with a character who enjoys nature, or spends time around trees or in a forest. You can also read a book with yellow, orange, or red on its cover; a book with leaves or trees on its cover; or a book set in autumn.

9. Classical Music Month: Classical music evolved over centuries and introduced the world to many famous composers, such as Vivaldi, Byrd, Bach, Mozart, and Chopin, and several musical periods: Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic. Though most music today differs greatly from the classical periods, its music lives on through talented orchestras around the world.
🍂 Read a book with a character who plays an instrument, listens to music, or goes to a concert. You can also read a book set in any year between 500AD (start of Medieval period) to 1910AD (end of Romantic period), a book with music notes or an instrument on its cover, a book with a word from musical terminology in its title (here’s a list to help you out), or a book you read while listening to classical music.
