In The Void, The Obsession Q1 Reading Challenge: 9 Books, 1 Obsession

Hosted by voidedlux

29 participants, 32 books added

Starts: Wednesday, 01 January 2025

Ends: Monday, 31 March 2025

This quarter we’re reimagining the ITV Bingo Challenge into an exploratory themed experience, starting with a deep dive into one of horror's favorite themes: Obsession. For Q1, ITV challenges you to read 8 books that explore the many facets of obsession—whether it's obsession as a plot point, crimes of passion, your personal obsession with an author or trope, past ITV books as bookclub obsessed and more.

Be sure to log our quarterly read as your 9th book: your primary obsession... being an In The Void bookclub member!! This is where the 2025 reading challenge circuit begins as we explore themes of obsession through our reads.

In The Void is quarterly, virtual horror bookclub, allowing members the opportunity to enjoy our selections without the pressure of a monthly meeting! @inthevoidbookclub
