Day 10: Let’s Sprint! | Spooktacular 2023

BySarra Cannon

Did you enjoy our day of manifesting yesterday? I always love talking about this subject and it warms my heart to know that it resonates with you as well!

I’ve been looking forward to today’s main event since before Spooktacular began! From 1-3pm EST today, we’re going to gather for reading sprints! What’s that? Well, it’s just a livestream together where we’ll set a timer and read for about 25 minutes on our own and then gather back in the chat for about 5 minutes to chat and hang out, then we’ll read again! For 2 hours!

I’ll be live in the Facebook Group and on my YouTube channel for two hours and I hope you’ll join me in the comments. Let me know what you’re reading and on what format: print book, ebook or audiobook (and which is your favorite?).

I’ll still be going live for our daily livestream at noon EST then hopping right into our sprints very shortly afterwards. Thank you in advance for spending a chunk of your day with me. I’m so excited!

SARRA CANNON BOOK SPOTLIGHT

Did you know that I have a collection of short stories called The Witching Well?

From a mysterious old witch at a county fair to a ghostly twist on Cinderella, these short stories will be sure to ignite your imagination and leave you wanting more.

These six stories have been previously published in anthologies with fellow authors, posted to my blog, or shared on YouTube, but they have never-before been compiled into a single collection. What’s more, this box set also contains a behind-the-scenes look at each individual story as I share the inspiration behind each idea.

This is an exclusive collection that I give to everyone who signs up for my newsletter. If you haven’t done that yet, click here and enjoy!

  1. I just started Fate’s Surrender, I’m excited to read it with everyone during the reading sprints! The Haunted House wallpaper party favor it so cute!

  3. I would probably go for a Demons sweater. With the cold weather coming, can never have too many sweaters!!

  7. I am not sure if I’d like to have a sir bean mug or a peachville high shirt (or hoodie).

  9. I would rock the Sir Bean coffee cup! Probably have to get two. One to use while the other is in the wash… 5 minutes is too long with no coffee… just kidding… but I definitely would get two… 1 to use, the other to add to my collection…

  11. I’d be all over a Sir Bean mug or travel mug. But I’d also be all over a t-shirt, full zip hoodie, or ball cap, especially if they were Shadow Demons Saga or Eternal Sorrows related!

  12. I love the idea of the reading sprints. I just finished a book last night so if I can make the time difference work (I’m in the UK) I will try to join in and start a new book!

  17. This is a tough question but… I am a sucker for coffee mugs… love a shirt, coffee mug and maybe some stickers πŸ™‚ so exciting!

  24. Too many choices! But it’s cozy season so the full zippered hoodie would be lovely! πŸ™‚

  30. I loved the manifesting chats! I got the purple download to be able to try out for focusing practice, which I can always use. I am listening to 2 different audio books…The Mother’s Promise Sally Hepworth, and Don’t You Cry Mary Kubica, I am also reading a physical book from Book of the month…When I’m Dead Hannah Morrissey-which I am enjoying! Happy Reading!

  39. Since Shadow Demons is what for me into reading all those years ago I’d have to go with the Peachville hoodie! I have a lot of hoodies but that would be my absolute favorite!

  40. I love the hoodie with the demon logo. The Halloween wallpaper is great. I read more ebooks since it is easier not to lose my place. . I can’t believe Spooktacular is almost over. You and your team have done a great job.

  44. These are some amazing freebies! If I won today’s prize I would go for a cozy Demons hoodie (seems to be a popular choice, lol).

  51. I would definitely get a hoodie! <3 And thank you for the witchy book link….it is amazing.

  53. I am excited for tomorrow and I am looking forward to the reading sprints.
    I am a bit sad that Spooktacular is getting close to ending. I love this time of year.

  56. I’m looking forward to the reading sprints and hope there will be more in the future. For the merch, I would most likely choose a Sir Bean mug or T-shirt.

  57. A bookish day, I love it! Lots of cool Merch and the freebies witch books is awesome ❀️❀️

  63. “What Sarra Cannon book merch would you spend the gift card on?”

    I am a zip-hoodie girl all the way!

  64. Tough question, I would probably go for a Peachville hoodie… Or a coffee mug… Or a mini book planner key charm… Aah there are just too many cute items to pick just one! <3

  67. I’m starting the Beautiful Demons series. Congratulations on the success you’ve enjoyed so much. It’s exciting that that books will be coming to audio!

  74. I can’t wait to read these short stories. You always talk about how hard it is for you to write them, because the muse wants more. I run into the same problem when reading short stories, my brain can’t understand where the rest of the story is and wants more details πŸ™‚ I will have to have a talk with my brain and tell it to chill so I can read these πŸ™‚

  79. I would get stickers and books. I love Sarra’s Eternal sorrows series. And her Mr. Bean coffee shop stickers are adorable.

  87. I enjoyed the reading sprints. If I won, I’d definitely get something from Shadow Demons.

  88. Oh my goshhhh the wallpapers are so cute!!! I didn’t have time to join the lives, but I did make time to read a little bit! Currently I’m reading Sanderson’s Rhythm of War.

  89. I don’t know exactly what I’d spend the gift card on because every writer needs another mug! Really. (Just like teachers.) I imagine it holding my tea on my desk, and I’ll look down at it when I need that extra boost of encouragement. I’d hear Sarra’s inspiring words. However, writers also require a cozy hoodie to get us through the cold months, long nights, or moments when we feel we can’t form one more sentence. Any of the book Merch, would be appreciated and have a purpose.

  93. I’m going to have to start saving up for when your new merch store launches. So many goodies I want to get! Hoodies and mugs are always a must. β˜•οΈ
