It's that time of year again, and time to sign up for the Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge and Readathon co-event!
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 here on Christmas Spirit 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 Seasons of Reading. No need to sign up both places. 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 22) in the review linky will win a $15 charitable donation to human rights organization of their choice, such as the 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. 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.
