Read a book featuring a ghost.
This challenge asks you to read a book with a ghost in it. You may immediately think of scary stories, but there are plenty of options. Since ghosts are notoriously hard to locate, allow us to help guide you to the perfect ghostly book.
Spooky isn’t a great fit for everyone. However, it would be remiss to begin a post about ghosts with anything other than the spookiest ghost books we could find. If you are a horror fan, fulfilling this challenge should be pretty easy. Just leave the lights on at night!
If spooky isn’t your cup of tea, there are a shocking number of “cozy” books featuring ghosts. It’s not quite Casper, but these ghosts are just trying to find peace–not anyone to spook. They are more likely to become your “boo” than say it.
If you are fan of “The Classics,” there are plenty of ghosts there too. Of course it would be the old books that are haunted!
Maybe you think you can handle the scares but not the suspense? These ghostly books have all been adapted into films or shows. That means these ghosts are likely familiar to you and not quite as scary.
Books about haunted places or the study of the paranormal would also fulfill this challenge. If there’s a book about a nearby haunted house that has been haunting your TBR list, now is the time to put it to rest.
We are looking forward to a year full of challenging new reads with you!
