#JolabokaflodReadathon 2023

Hey all, Sam here.

I am going to work on having more posts up soon enough. I’ve been reading some pretty good books that I’m looking forward to reviewing, and I want to get back to my Weekend Writer posts. So Weekend Writer will probably make a comeback in January, so I have a chance to build up a bit of a bank of posts ahead of time. Book reviews will come back a little sooner, because I can get those prepped much faster than my writing posts. And Tabletop Tuesdays and WIP Wednesdays will probably resume in January as well.

Anyway, onto the main topic for today…

Back in 2019 I created a last minute readathon, and in 2020 I was joined by a couple different people. In 2021 I was in a major slump and didn’t do anything, and then last year I brought this event back again. Well, we’re nearing that time again, so I guess I should talk about this little event I’ve come up with.

So, I love the idea of the Christmas Book Flood: spending my Christmas Eve cuddled up on the couch, drinking hot cocoa, and reading books. Then I thought that maybe other people might want to join me, so #JolabokaflodReadathon was born.

When? 6pm on December 24th through 6am on December 25th to coincide with the Christmas Eve exchange and reading evening.

Do you have to read the whole time? No, of course not. Even just sitting down to read for an hour or so is perfectly fine. But if you want to stay up all night reading then that’s great too.

If you post about this on Instagram, Threads, or TikTok, use the hashtag #JolabokaflodReadathon so I can follow along.

This isn’t a readathon that’s particularly strict on rules. So read some books, drink some nice hot beverages, and just enjoy a relaxing time cuddled up with yourself, your pets, your friends, or your family.

I’ll be back with my readathon TBR next week. I just need to narrow down my options, and of course, see what books I do manage to finish this week.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I will be back soon with more geeky content.
