And so it begins… welcome to the 2023 FRATERFEST Readathon! Grab your books, audios, snacks and let the fun beginning. For the next five days, we challenge you to read/listen to as many books as you can. They can be spooky, horror, paranormal, urban, mysteries, thrillers, suspense, or cozies. You set your own FEAR LEVEL. Bwahahaha!

Started in 2012, Fraterfest was inspired by Rhiannon Frater whose zombies, vampires and necromancers offer thrills and chills.

    The days went fast but I got to read 8 books this year. Just finished the last ebook.
    Thanks for the fun!

    I still have half a day of work left and possibly some overtime, but I plan to start with The First Days since I am not familiar with Ms. Frater! Sounds like a fun zombie book! Can’t wait to start reading it this evening!
