It is time to mark my calendar for another HoHoHo Readathon hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Reviewer. My fourth if I counted correctly. The thon encourages all readers to read as many Christmas´ or winterly-themed books as we can. And there will be fun events, contests, prizes, and other things. My list of books for this readathon is short, with only two Christmas-themed books on my TBR, at least so far. But it is the fun of reading a novel, that matters the most to me. Not the prizes. And hopefully, the Christmas mood will sweep all over me. Because so far, I am not at all in the mood for hot cocoa, Christmas music, some winterly decorations, or snow. Nope, nothing in sight! But this year, it is an anniversary.
Tenth Annual Ho-Ho-Ho Read-A-Thon
And with that in mind, I hope it will be even more fun this year. Let us all hope that I will reach my goal of at least one read Christmas novel or better two!
This year, the #HoHoHoRAT will begin at 12:01 am Thursday, November 18th, and will end Wednesday, November 30th at 11:59 pm in your time zone.
Meaning, I have thirteen days of reading with two weekends wrapped in between!
We can choose between holiday reads, winter books, yuletide murder mysteries, naughty & nice romances, and holiday horror. Whatever your mood chooses from the mentioned counts for this Ho-Ho-Ho-Readathon. Any format counts. Audiobook, library book, eBook, old book, or new book. With or without the hot chocolate. Follow your mood and have a great time!
