Read-A-Thin November 2022 Announcement

I was waiting for Donna and Manda, the two hosts of readathin, to announce this round which will happen next November. I can never say no when these two host a readathon. They are not only my friends; they also read some fantastic books. Luckily, the aim here is to read as many books as possible from your current TBR.

As I have been saying for weeks, I need to get my TBR down to 0 by December. So, I’m doing things a bit backwards this time around. Whenever I finish a novel, I will see which challenge fits it, so yea going into it without a planned TBR which is a first for me, and currently, I have 45 books on the list.

What Is Readathin?

Read-a-thin takes place in February, May, August, and November every year and is a month-long. It is hosted by Donna at momsbookcollection and Amanda from MANDA THE BIBLEO. It started in 2017 by Amanda, and then Donna joined the team.
