January Read-a-thon
Happy New Year. Every year, millions of people make New Year’s resolutions, hoping to spark positive change. This year, instead of making resolutions, we are going to read for them.
The ten most common resolutions are:
Exercise more by reading a book featuring sports or fitness.
Lose weight by reading something off of your TBR from years past.
Get organized by reading a nonfiction book or a book with an organized character
Learn a new skill or hobby by reading a book where the MC learns a new skill or starts a new hobby.
Live life to the fullest by reading a book where a character doesn’t let fear get in their way.
Spend less money by reading a book you got for free.
Quit smoking by reading a book where a character quits something.
Spend more time with family and friends by reading a book tagged “friends” “family” or “found family” at least ten times.
Travel more by reading a book set in a different country or world.
Read more by reading any book that doesn’t fit the other resolutions.
This read-a-thon will start on January 22nd (starting at your midnight time zone) and will end on January 31st (ending at your midnight time zone).
How to complete resolutions:
Every time you finish a book, you will need to make a completion post like so:
