Susan's 2017 Reading Blog: Anti-Stress Holiday Challenge

Anti-Stress Holiday Challenge

November 11, 2017 - January 10, 2018

Hey everyone! For those of you that are suckers for holiday romances like I am, this challenge is for you! We're coming into that time of year when, regardless of your culture, nationality or religion, you can probably find at least one holiday to celebrate. Holidays can be wonderful, bringing together family and friends, but they can also generate a bit (or sometimes a lot) of stress. With this in mind, we wanted to bring you a challenge designed not only to not add to that stress, but hopefully to also give you a chance to escape it for a while!

The rules of this challenge are simple...read books with a holiday theme. It can be any holiday, not necessarily just the ones that occur this time of year, and there are no limitations on length, rereads, audiobooks, or anything else you can think of...so just pick a level, and start reading! Oh, and just to keep the stress level as low as possible, feel free to change your level at any time and even in either direction!

Levels:

3 books: No time to read...well, maybe just a tiny bit!

8 books: Yep, I'm pretty busy, but I can still find some time to read!

15 books: Things are pretty much under control...I've got time to get my reading in!

20 books: What stress? I'm just chillin' out with my books!

Bonus: If you happen to stumble across a book that isn't holiday themed, but a holiday is mentioned or celebrated in it, you can use it here. For example, if you read a book that takes place in the summer, but has an epilogue that takes place on Christmas Eve, this is the place to include it!

When posting your challenge progress, please make sure to put the date/s when you finished your book/s.

You may update your initial post or repost as you progress, but please repost when you complete the challenge as it helps when updating.
