I’m so excited to announce these challenges to you guys. If you missed the Christmas Readathon post I posted yesterday, you can check it out now!
I have been patiently waiting for the day where I could announce these challenges and the day has come!
If you don’t know anything about the readathon then let me quickly tell you. In the past few years, we have done this readathon, this is #4, we create 12 challenges that have Christmas or end of year themes.
We do 12 challenges due to the Christmas song ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas‘. This is a month-long readathon so you will have a month to complete all of the challenges. It starts at 00:01(12:01 am) on the 1st December and ends on the 23:59 (11:59 pm) on the 31st December within your time zone.
The aim of this readathon is obviously to finish as many challenges at you can. If you don’t complete all of the challenges then that’s okay. We only want to have fun during this.

Now it’s time to announce this year’s challenges to you guys!!
