Dr. Andy | 10329 comments January Read-a-thon

Hello readers! We are currently deep in winter weather for the Northern Hemisphere (mostly). I’ve been craving more snow and a real winter feel. For the January read-a-thon we will be hosting an all things Wintery read-a-thon! This will start January 27th at midnight (your time zone) and end January 30th at midnight (your time zone). The goal of this read-a-thon is to complete as many prompts as a team. Any book you finish in this time frame can count if it fits a prompt, this includes graphic novels over 200 pages.

Prompts are all listed in the 2nd comment!

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