December Read-a-thon

Hello readers! Between November to February there are over 100 holidays that occur. For the December read-a-thon we will be hosting a holiday scavenger hunt! This will start December 17th at midnight (your timezone) and end December 21st at midnight (your timezone). The goal of this read-a-thon is to collect as many items as a team.

There are several ways to collect an item:
-Using the letters of the title, series title or author name you can spell out the item name. (Alternate editions can be used as long as the letters are English)
-using a cover that has an image of the item
-finding the item in the text of the book: if the item is more than one word you must find all words within the same book, but it does not have to be in the same quote. Must provide % or page number and quote.
-find the letters of the item within the first column of tags.
-if your book cannot cross off a complete item, it can be used for parts of an item, please specify which part of the item it’s being used for.

When you finish a book, please post a completion post:
