The holidays are upon us again! Time to sign up for the Yuletide Spirit Reading Challenge and Readathon co-event! (Yes, the site, and event, title have had a minor makeover)
Dates: November 21, 2022 through January 6, 2023
Three ways to participate:
- Challenge - Pick a level
- Readathon - read as much (or as little) as you want
- Participate in both!
For the reading challenge, these must be Christmas novels, books about Christmas lore, a book of Christmas short stories or poems, books about Christmas crafts, children's books (we even have a level for them!), etc.
Reading Challenge Levels:
--Candy Cane: read 1 book
--Mistletoe: read 2-4 books
--Christmas Tree: read 5 or 6 books, or more (this is the fanatic level!)
Additional levels:
--Fa La La La Films: watch a bunch or a few Christmas movies...it's up to you!
--Visions of Sugar Plums: read books with your children this season and share what you read
*the additional levels are optional, you still must complete one of the main reading levels above
I will have a review linky posted as a page at the Yuletide Spirit site the day the challenge starts. You will find it in the menu at the top of the blog.
Sign up in the linky below. This linky will be the same one on this site and over at Yuletide Spirit. No need to sign up both places (though you can leave a comment here and over there if you are indeed participating in both). For this readathon in particular, we will do a wrap-up linky, in keeping with the regular process for the reading challenge.
THE PRIZE: The first person to post a review (must be from a book started on or after November 21) in the review linky will win a $15 charitable donation to human rights organization of their choice, such as a Ukraine relief charity, ACLU, Boys and Girls Club, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, Amnesty International, It Gets Better, Planned Parenthood, or another human rights organization of your choice (food banks, homeless shelters would also apply), perhaps your local chapter or a local organization. Animal rights or rescue organizations are another option. This giveaway is open internationally. Note: I will not donate to any organization that does not believe that all are equal, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation.
Final notes:
You can participate even if you don't have a blog. Just link up with your Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (and just post your updates from whichever venue you choose) AND don't forget our Facebook group, Facebook Page, our Goodreads group, and our Instagram...and our Discord.

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to taking part in this
ReplyDeleteSetting the bar low to surprise myself. (Come on Candy Cane level!) Only three more books to read this year to beat my record. A great Christmas gift to myself. Merry Christmas to everyone...especially Michelle.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying for the Christmas Tree 🎄
ReplyDeleteI am aiming for Christmas Tree ~ Johanna
ReplyDeleteI think that I am only going to shoot for Candy Cane level because I'm feeling really overwhelmed by books and life right now!
ReplyDeleteGoing for Christmas Tree, Fa La La La and some Visions of Sugarplums when I visit my granddaughter! Yay!
ReplyDeleteChristmas Tree and Fa La La La too 😁
ReplyDeleteA little late to the party but better late than never!
