Horror Marathon
Start Date: November 2024
Goal: 9,948

In 2023, according to The Bookseller, the Horror genre sold nearly £7.7 million or $9,948,784.46. So, for this marathon, we decided that was a bit high for a first goal. We decided to chop a few numbers off the end and came up with 9,948 as our new goal. As a group, we will read horror books trying to read 9,948 pages. Remember they must be tagged horror.
