It's the End of 2014 Read-A-Thon

Yes, I am doing another read-a-thon.... and I made another logo!!! But, this read-a-thon is different because it's FREAKING AWESOME!

I am going to be hosting 3 out of the 12 days of this read-a-thon along with three other great bloggers, Sarah from YA Bookaholic, Charlotte from Bookmarks and Blogging, and Once Upon a Time who is currently blogging from the Magical World of Books, but that is subject to change. This read-a-thon is for you to finish all of those books you meant to finish this year and to have fun of course. There are going to be a lot of fun games and challenges and reading sprints hosted via Twitter and it's going to be tons of fun. I'm going to tell you all about that right now!

This is the calendar for the read-a-thon! It starts on December 20th and goes to December 31st. I will be hosting on the 21st, 26th, and 30th, so my hosting days are pretty spread out. I personally will not being doing any giveaways and I don't know about the other hosts, so when i get that information, I will relay it to you.

There are only three challenges that will last the entire read-a-thon, so they will be super easy to complete.
1. Read a total of 2,000 pages
2. Reread a favorite of 2014
3. Set Your Own Challenge, like read a book with a red cover or read 20 books. You can be as cautious or ambitious as you like.


And there are a slew of games, one everyday to be exact. And there will be winners, so it'll be great. I will be participating in all of the games, but I will not enter myself as a winner for any of them. If you would like the participate in the games, just create a post or a video about it. To submit your entry, just put your name or username and a link to your submission in the comments of the post for the particular game on the hosts blog. For now, here are the games. And yes, I color coded them to match the calendar.
