HoHoHoReadathon Check In / Mini Reviews

 


The 13th Annual Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon is a holiday readathon hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer. This year’s event will take place on Wednesday, November 26th through Wednesday, December 17th, 2025. During the event, participants will read or listen to as many holiday or winter reads as they can while taking part in challenges. Get your holiday & winter setting books and be prepared to have fun! Audiobooks, library books, ebooks, old books or new books — we don’t care. Don’t forget the hot chocolate!

The HoHoHoReadathon is my first time participating in a readathon with other people so I thought it would be fun to do a little check in of what I read during the first week especially since I might not find time in the holiday season to fully review these books.  

Reading:

Good Spirits by BK Borison | 4 Stars | I loved almost everything about this book. I related a lot of Harriet as she struggles with no longer being the type of person that goes along with what her family wants for her. It was really the ending that threw me off as it felt too easy.

When The Snow Settles by Rachel Laberge | 3 Stars | While I really liked the book that this novella is following, I didn't find this to be the most necessary or needed for the plot line between the couple.

A Pack For Winter by Eliana Lee | 3 Stars | This why choose omegaverse was very cute. I feel like all the why choose omegaverse I've read feature one of the guys feeling out of place and I really appreciate that this book didn't go down that route. It was amazing how Rome and James welcomed Logan in and helped him.

Challenges:

Twelve Days of Bookstagram: I have been majorly slacking with the 12 Days of Bookstagram challenge, only posting Day 1 - Your First Read. I plan to gather some books and take some pictures this weekend though.

LisaLovesLiterature Holiday Book Scavenger Hunt : For the scavenger hunt, I submitted You're a Mean One, Matthew Prince for the santa hat catergory as that is my current read. I look forward to trying to find more of the items as I continue my holiday reading.

Top Ten Tuesday: Recs by the Alphabet- B

Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish  in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. I will be doing my top favorites of the year at another time so I decided to go rouge and share Ten books that start with B.  In 2025, I got really into doing an alphabet challenge and I even managed to complete it - not sure if it's beginners luck or if the amount of reading I do just making it easier for me but I had a lot of fun and I will be doing it again in 2026. I wanted to start creating rec lists for each letter of the alphabet to challenge myself and to share books that I enjoy with others that might also be doing the challenge. Here is B. Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments.     1.Bear With Me by Nicole Blanchard  2. Being Ace: An Anthology. Edited by Madeline Dyer 3. Bar Down by St...
