It’s time to mark your calendar and sign up for our annual Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon. During the thon we encourage you to read or listen to as many holiday or winter themed books as you can. There will be fun events, contests, prizes and more. Get all the details below, then sign up and invite your bookish friends!

Ninth Annual Ho-Ho-Ho Read-A-Thon

This year the #HoHoHoRAT will begin at 12:01 am Thursday, November 18th and will end Monday, November 30th at 11:59 pm in your time zone.

That’s twelve days of reading with two weekends wrapped in-between!

So grab your holiday reads, your winter books, your yuletide murder-mysteries, your naughty & nice romances and even your holiday horror and get ready for some fun! Audiobook, library book, ebook, old book or new book. Don’t forget the hot chocolate!

Host A Challenge

BE AN ELF: We need Challenges hosts. Please email me, if you’d like to host a challenge for the event. You will need to provide a small international prize. Create a festive puzzle, exchange recipes, create a spine poem, make a bingo board or come up with your own clever idea.
