Bookish Bingo: Holiday Edition (Updated)

Yes!  Bookish Bingo Holiday Edition is going live on October 1 and I'm ready to go!  I had so much fun doing the Summer Editon of Bookish Bingo, hosted by Great Imaginations, and I'm feeling like that awesomeness should continue. 
Here's the Bingo Card

 
Here are the rules:
What we need from you:
Sign up by leaving a comment on this post with a link to your Goodreads, Booklikes or blog
Read read read! You have all of October, November and December to cover as many squares as possible
One book per square. So while Shutter has a creature on the cover and is a autumn release, it can only count for one square
There will be a giveaway at the end of December. Each bingo earned gets you extra points! To enter, write up a wrap up post with links to your books read and plug it into the Rafflecopter.

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time!
