I plan on reading a few books from this series this month, so I thought it was a perfect choice for today‘s #festivephotochallenge! ❤️

#MistletoeManiacs

Finished 3 Hallmark Christmas books today, and let me tell you - these were the #WGWordSearch GOLDMINE! I honestly loved them all, but On Christmas Avenue was my favourite. Definitely recommend any of the Hallmark Christmas books for anyone who likes light romance and is participating in the #WinterGames.

75 points for the 3 holiday books
16,700 points for #WGWordSearch finds! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

#MistletoeManiacs

Another Christmas book finished! This one had 120 #WGWordSearch words, bringing the total to 1226 pts for #MistletoeManiacs!

#WinterGames

Read a few more of my holiday themed childrens books this morning, including the first 6 stories in the Disney Christmas Storybook. I found 154 words for the #WGWordSearch too!

1540 + 275 +1 = 1816 points for #MistletoeManiacs

I‘ve been slowly collecting Canadian Christmas books, and I love reading them every year. This one had 13 #WGWordSearch finds, bring the total to 156pt!

#MistletoeManiacs #WinterGames 💚❤️

Such an adorable children‘s Christmas book, with a Canadian twist! ❤️

46pt thanks to the two #WGWordSearch words I found. 🕵🏻‍♀️ #MistletoeManiacs #WinterGames

Today‘s entry for the #FestivePhotoChallenge! This series is fun, and I hope to get to this book during the #WinterGames ❤️

A few more finished books from Day 1 of the 2021 #WinterGames! Super happy with my results for the day. Woohoo! Go team #MistletoeManiacs!

#MistletoeManiacs

I managed to finish four more Christmas novellas before I feel asleep last night. Unfortunately my cats woke me up bright and early, so I‘ve had very little sleep. I‘ll add in the #WGWordSearch points in a bit, but first I‘ve got to get up and do my first #iFitHolidayWorkout!

For now: 101 points. Go team #MistletoeManiacs!
Update: #WGWordSearch points are 2,870!

Next, we‘ve got the #FestivePhotoChallenge!

10 points per photo! Don‘t forget to award yourself an extra 5 points if the picture you share has a bookish or literary theme! 💚❤️

#WinterGames!

Next up the #SelfieScavengerHunt! One of my personal favourites of the #WinterGames.

Hey team #MistletoeManiacs, I‘ll be posting a few of the month long activities that start today. First up, the #OrnamentHunt! 🤩. #WinterGames

Finished my first Christmas novella, and it was a five star read for me! It had all of my favourite things : a sweet talking gentleman who has a heart of gold, a funny heroine, some humorous eat friends, a fluffy kitten, and even a list. ❤️

This was a great one to start off with since it had a ton of the #WGWordSearch words. 217 to be exact! I‘ll calculate the Readathon points weekly, but for now, that‘s two hours read, and 2196pts!

Okay team #MistletoeManiacs! Time for the first #WinterGames weekly game. This game will run from December 1st to December 5th, and is available for unlimited points.

Please communicate in the comments below, and then once you have your answers please repost the photo, tag Littens for each prompt, and tag your team captain. ❤️

HAPPY #WINTERGAMES TEAM!

It‘s officially December 1st in my time zone, and I‘m ready to knock out some Christmas novellas! Can‘t wait to see what you guys are starting with!

Here is the points breakdown again. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions 💚

Happy reading team #MistletoeManiacs!

Well, that month absolutely flew by! 😅

I finished all but two spots for my November #BookSpinBingo. I‘m pretty happy with my results in general, but I definitely could have finished this had i not gotten distracted by library holds 😂

❤️ As always, thanks again for hosting @TheAromaofBooks

Hey team #MistletoeManiacs! The #WinterGames starts in a little over 27 hours in my time zone, and I can‘t wait! Just a reminder about those early bird points, as well as describe our first ever month long game! The #WGWordSearch! During the month, each time you find any of the words above in your books, award yourself 10 points! You don‘t need to take a picture of every word, simply keep tally and add those points to your book total. ⭐️

Definitely one of my favourite #bulletjournal spreads, and one of my most anticipated 2022 reading challenges!

Who else is doing the O.W.L.s and which classes will you be attempting? I think I‘ll try for all classes, but I doubt I‘ll finish all the prompts for each class. #owlsexams #ordinarywizardinglevelexams

Is anyone else planning on participating in booksandlala‘s #Buzzword2022 challenge? I love the buzzword choices this year! #Bulletjournal #bujo

I‘m flying through my bullet journal, thanks to all these fun 2022 reading challenges! I have 51 pages started for 2022 so far, and I‘m still going! ⭐️ #nerdybookworm2022 #rad2022readingchallenge

Okay, so I‘m 100% currently obsessed with my #bulletjournal 😅 It‘s been so much fun to put together! #52bookclub

Here is my starting stack for my 2022 #ShelfofShame challenge. These are all the books on my physical shelf that I have started, but put down without finishing for one reason or another. They‘re all books that I still have interest in, and would like to finish, however if I still haven‘t finished them by the end of 2022, then I have to unhaul them.

If I make it through these books, I‘ll make a list of my kindle books. ⭐️

Trying to organize the order of my bullet journal spreads for 2022. I‘ve done a ton of research on the challenges I‘d like to participate in, and I‘m just so excited to get started that I couldn‘t wait to get my #bulletjournal all set up.

Came up with another mini challenge for 2022! I desperately need to do this, since I have partially read books that I started and put down 3+ years ago. This will be the year that I finally read or unhaul them. Welcome to the #ShelfofShame challenge!

Feel free to join me if you‘d like ❤️

This was one challenge that I totally let slide after the few months of 2021, but I‘m happy to say I‘ll be bringing the #TBRDeckofCards back for a 2nd year in 2022!

If you‘d like to join me, the rules are simple. Choose 52 prompts, genres, buzzwords etc, and assign one to each card. At the start of each month, shuffle and select your cards, and read books that fit the corresponding prompt!

Can‘t wait to see your 2022 prompt lists! ❤️

Shiny-eyed Totem is curious about what everyone has planned for their 2022 reading challenges?

I‘ve been researching and listing all the possible challenges to join, but I‘m sure I missed a bunch! I‘ve decided 2022 will be the year I attempt ALL the #readingchallenges and ALL the #readathons, so please tag any you know of down below. If you‘d like to see some that I‘ve come across, here is my Pinterest board. https://pin.it/6Y7kiTi

Hey team #MistletoeManaics! There are a ton of readathons, and reading challenges going on during the month of December. So many that it‘s going to be hard to keep track of them, so I made up a list on Google. All participants can edit this file, so that we can all add to and share any Readathon details we come across! Link is in the comments! ❤️

Last chance to sign up for the 2021 #WinterGames! The sign up form will close on December 1st this year, so if you‘d like to join please do so now! All the event details are in the description box in the Google form, so please check it out here:

https://forms.gle/8G1vWNSHPptZrvcE6

For those of you already participating, please share this post to spread the word! We don‘t want anyone missing out because they didn‘t see the form ❤️ THANK YOU!

So #NovelNovember was an extremely productive Readathon for me. 🤩 I started it with only 5 of these #bookspinbingo books completed, and now I only have three left! I also read 30 or so comics and graphic novels this past week 🥷🏻🧟‍♂️🧛🏻‍♂️

Thank you for hosting these amazing events @Andrew65 and @TheAromaofBooks !

I shared a #Pantone2022 post earlier today with the colour blocks which made up a bingo board, however the font was quite small, making the colour titles quite small and almost impossible to read. This image should be better!

Does anyone have a favourite colour of the bunch? Colour wise, my favourite is Glacier Lake. My favourite Name is either Super Sonic or Northern Droplet.

So, I‘ve wanted to do a Pantone colour challenge for years, but I never remember to look up the colours in time! These are the NYC/London spring/summer fashion week colours, as well as the spring/summer core classics.

The goal is to read books in 2022 that feature these colours on the cover. Trying your best to get as close to the colours as possible. Attempt them all or use as a bingo board. A fall/winter board will be coming later in the year

We all know I love a reading challenge😉I‘ve pretty much decided that 2022 will be the year for ALL of the reading challenges. I‘m pretty much going to attempt them all.

That being said, head on over to @PuddleJumper to get more info on the #Roll100 challenge! Link in comments if you‘d like to sign up. 🎲

As with my last post, I‘m sharing a collection of my favourite books of 2021 so far. Each month I chose a favourite cover of all the books I read in that month.

I was interested to see them all together to see if there‘s anything similar in them, as I almost always choose my books based on the covers or spines. I hardly ever read the description before buying. Looks like I have a thing for BOLD fonts.

After going through my monthly reading stats in my bullet journal, I wanted to share my favourite books so far for 2021. Instead of sharing all my 5 star reads, I‘ve chosen one book per month.

Have you guys read any of these? Did you also give them 5 stars? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Okay, my #BookSpinBingo board is officially looking better! I‘ve completed two bingo lines already, and am just starting the tagged book. I don‘t know if I‘m just in a really generous book rating mood this month, or if these books will hold up… but I‘ve given a lot of 4 and 5 star rating this month. I finished 33 Women this morning and it was so twisted, but so good! #NovelNovember

The #WinterGames excitement is building, so I pulled out all my Christmas books and tried to jam all 62 of them on one shelf 😂😅

My #NovelNovember is going better than expected! I DNFd The Dogs of Winter, but finished the other 3.

The Rose Code was definitely the best of the bunch. I‘m so glad I didn‘t bail on it. Historical Fiction is generally not my thing, but this one was so well done! ❤️ @Andrew65

There‘s a lot going on this December, and we want to make sure you don‘t miss out on any of it! So we made a Google folder so everyone has access to all the #photochallenges, #bingoboards, mini games, and contests. Hopefully there‘s something for everyone is this plethora of goodies!

If you come across any posts you‘d like me to add to the folder, just tag me in a post 🤩

#MistletoeManiacs! We‘ve got some fun and quick ways to gain some early bird points! These tasks can now be completed, although they must be done before December 1st to qualify you for your points.

I can‘t wait to see what you guys plan on reading during the LAST(!) month of 2021, and the #WinterGames. I‘m sure I‘ll be stacking a ton of books from you guys, as per usual! 😜🙈😂

#MistletoeManiacs, this is the #WinterGames2021 schedule. The event will be broken up into weeks, which run from Monday‘s to Sunday‘s. Please post your weekly points, and tag me by each Tuesday. @StayCurious and I will then calculate the team totals, and post the #MistletoeManiacs vs #GameSleighers points on each Wednesday.

If you‘re having an extra busy week, and can‘t get your points in on time, you may add them to the next weeks total. ❤️

Okay, here‘s the #WinterGames2021 point breakdown.

It‘s A LOT to take in at first, but the reason why we offer SO many different ways to earn #WinterGames points, is so that EVERYONE has a way to participate and contribute. Take park in whichever aspects of the event as you want, or go CRAZY like I generally do, and try them all! 😜

We suggest that you save it to your phone, or print it out so you can come back to it when needed.

Hello, and welcome to team #MistletoeManiacs! If you‘ve been tagged in this post, you‘re on my team. For those of you who are new here, my name is Cassandra and I will be your #WinterGames team captain. I am so excited to be reading with you this holiday season. With the #WinterGames fun only a few weeks away, I‘d like to discuss some event details in the comments below. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask down below as well! ☺️🎄

Hello everyone! Just a reminder that there is still time to sign up for the 2021 #WinterGames! The Form will remain open until the first week of December, but get those forms done early if you can, so you can get those Early Bird Points! ❤️ For those of you who have already applied, expect a tag shortly letting you know which team you are on! Happy holidays, and happy reading everyone!

So, I‘m not doing great lol. I was hoping to clear this whole board this month, but there‘s still time right! 🤣🙈 @TheAromaofBooks #BookSpinBingo

Ahh! I‘m cutting it close with posting my #NovelNovember goals, but here they are!

Finish at least 5 #BookSpinBingo books. Specifically, I‘m hoping to finish The Rose Gold, and then start on The Unwilling by John Hart. I also have a goal to start working on my #wintergames #bulletjournal spreads, and maybe if I add those into this Readathon I‘ll actually get it done. Who knows? Lol

Thanks again for hosting @Andrew65

This one was good! I struggled with my rating a bit, since I normally don‘t do half points. It wasn‘t quite a five star read for me, but it came close, so it ended up with a 4.5/5. I enjoyed the duo narration, the secretive small neighbourhood, the elderly mom, and of course the creepy kid aspect. #bookspinbingo

The Harpy is finished, and I‘m well into Not My Boy, which is my second #BookSpinBingo choice of the month. I‘m really hoping to get through all of these this month! Here‘s to hoping I can clear the board🤞🏻

I decided to fill this months #BookSpinBingo with #NetGalley books only! I have so many on my phone that I‘ve run out of space 😅 I have to read more so I can request more…. Because you know I‘m not going to stop requesting more lol
