Yay, I love this readathon and all the fun you do with it, Kimberly!
Got a jump on my first book and kept a stack ready from review and personal shelves.

So happy you enjoy it!

This sounds like so much fun and I hope you get many participants. I tend to not do my holiday reading until December though. As I consider November to still be autumn things. But I can’t wait to see all the fun reads people will be doing for it.
