2026 Winter's Respite Readathon - Time to start!

The weather might be frightful, and the world very difficult to comprehend right now, but at least we can escape for a time when we're reading. So let's get this month of cozy reading started!

If you have any questions about how things work, check out the guidelines in the sidebar menu or the sign up post, or you can always leave me a comment (or send me a message via the contact form). The linky below is the same one as the sign up linky. If you do a starting line/goal post, just add your link again, but be sure to put "goal post" beside your name, i.e. Michelle @ True Book Addict (goals or goal post).

Giveaways are suspended for now due to financial reasons. There will no longer be a wrap-up deadline since prizes are eliminated...meaning wrap-ups are optional, but it's always nice to see what books were read by everyone.

Some orders of business...

• We have one 24-Hour readathon during each month-long event. The Winter's Respite 24-Hour event will be on Saturday, February 21st at 10:00 am Eastern time. I will be doing most of my updates and check-ins on Discord (invite link to our Discord). Discord is free to join and it would be cool to have some lively chats over there. There will be a post here the day before the 24-Hour event starts. Full details about the 24-Hour readathon events on the Guidelines page.
  
  
• I will post a mid-event check-in here on the blog.
  

Enjoy the readathon! Any questions at all? Leave me a comment, or send me a message via the contact me link in the sidebar menu.
