13th Annual Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon

 

This year’s annual Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon will begin at 12:01 am on Wednesday, November 26th and will end Wednesday, December 17th at 11:59 pm in your time zone. Giving us twenty-two days to read or listen to as many holiday and winter reads as our hearts desire all while participating in fun games.

• Linkup! It is unnecessary to link to goal post but of course we love them. You can link to the social media platform you will use to track your reading. This can be your blog, or a special Goodreads Shelf you create. Be sure to label the shelf 2025hohohorat. You can use a social media account, but you’ll need to tag me and use hashtag #2025HOHOHORAT. (I must be able to see it. So friend me there)
• Declare your intentions on your blog or through social media. Be sure and link back to this HoHoHo Readathon Sign-up page. Linky will close on December 7th, 2025, so be sure to link up, even if you will only take part for a few days.
• Grab the image and share! Tell your friends, post the image and link on social media using BlueSky, X (Twitter), Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Threads, and others. Be sure to include a link to this page, so others may join.
• Take part in at least one challenge and complete two books to be eligible for the grand prize.
