Tis the Seasonathon: A Holiday Readathon to Bring Cheer and Romance

As I sit down to start this Tis the Seasonathon, I must admit that I'm feeling a bit apprehensive. With virtual schooling and all the challenges that come with it, I've been reading a lot less than I used to. However, I'm excited to dive into this readathon and bring some holiday cheer into my life. For those who may not know, Tis the Seasonathon is a holiday-themed readathon that takes place in December. The event aims to bring together book lovers from around the world to share their reading experiences and connect with each other.

This year's challenges are designed to be fun and engaging, with five main categories: romance, diverse books, cozy reads, holidays, and non-book related activities. I'll be participating in all of these challenges, and I must say that I'm excited about the possibilities. First up is "Booked for Christmas" by Lilly Mellon aka Andy Mellon, a new adult romance novel that promises to be an adorable read. I've heard great things about her writing style, and I love the idea of a hotel being booked for Christmas. It sounds like a perfect winter wonderland story.

Next on my list is "Wrapped Up in You" by Talia Hibbert, another author whose books have received rave reviews from me in the past. This one promises to be an adult romance novel that explores themes of love and relationships. I'm always excited to dive into new authors and discover fresh perspectives, so I'm looking forward to reading this one.

One of my favorite aspects of readathons is participating in group reads, and this year's Tis the Seasonathon has a great lineup of holiday-themed novels. "In Time for Christmas" by Sophie Cousin is the first book on my list. This novel tells the story of two characters who meet under peculiar circumstances - they were both born on New Year's Day at the same hospital, with one being born just seconds before the other. As fate would have it, they keep running into each other over the years, and their initial attraction blossoms into something more. The tagline "How many chances to meet your perfect match?" hints at the complexities of love and relationships, which always keeps me engaged.

For my group read, I'll be joining in on "A Holiday by Christina Lauren", another holiday-themed novel that promises to be a romantic and heartwarming read. As usual, I'm excited to see how the author tackles themes of love and relationships, and I'm looking forward to being part of this online discussion.

As I reflect on my reading plans for the season, I must admit that I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. With four full-length novels and two novellas on my list, it's going to be a busy few weeks ahead. However, I'm determined to make the most of this readathon and enjoy every moment of it. Whether I'm cozied up by the fire with a good book or making gingerbread houses with family members, I know that Tis the Seasonathon is going to bring me joy and satisfaction.

One thing that sets this readathon apart from others is its focus on social media engagement. The organizers encourage participants to share their reading experiences, using hashtags like #TisTheSeasonathon and #ReadingChallenge, which makes it easy for us to connect with each other. I love seeing what my fellow readers are up to, whether they're sharing their TBRs or recommending books. It's a great way to build community and foster a sense of belonging among book lovers.

As I close this article, I want to express my gratitude to the organizers and participants of Tis the Seasonathon for bringing so much joy and enthusiasm into our lives. Whether you're a seasoned reader or just starting out on your reading journey, there's something special about participating in a readathon like this one. So, if you haven't already, be sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #TisTheSeasonathon, and join the fun! Let's make this holiday season one to remember.
