The winter season is upon us! I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of relieved. I've been really feeling like turning into a hermit and hiding in my house and reading so I'm really looking forward to it.
Since it's the last season of the year, we're visiting the last royal court and for this one, we're visiting the mountains in the north of Bookverse! There's snow covered mountains and of course, a blizzard so we'll be hunkering down in the palace.
Can you believe I've never done a gingerbread town theme? I can't believe it! But we're fixing that with our latest readathon!
Sweet Treats is a cute little gingerbread town filled with gingerbread cookies that love to read and I think it turned out SO CUTE. I love the pink candy skies and all the details on the house and library.
Anyway, this theme will be released on October 13th but will actually be in the shop on October 12th at 12pmCST so you can start building your carts! We'll be joining the Ultimate Planner Sale that weekend and I like giving everyone a head start before the sale starts to get everything ready.
I've been looking forward to this readathon since last year, but admittedly my vision for it changed quite a bit since my first thought of it. Originally, I was going to do little dark fairies with a graveyard setting, as a throwback towards the Read in Peace readathon we did for a few years.
Instead, I decided to do more of a fairy forest because it was a bit more whimsical and fit the September vibe a bit better. I love the atmosphere of this one and I can't wait to use it in my planner and I hope you do too!
This theme will be released on August 18th at 12pmCST and the readathon will take place at the end of September from the 25th to October 1st.
I've been planning this theme in my head for the last couple of years and I have to admit, it turned out way differently than I was expecting but I also kind of like it?
Like for spring and summer, we're visiting another royal court and for this one, we're taking to the skies! The fall court is nestled in the cloudy fall skies with leaves swirling through the air and dragons circling above.
Since we visited the desert for our Summer Reading Challenges, I thought we'd take to the sea for our June readathon! We're going to be exploring the seven seas of Bookverse and discovering a pirate port town!
This theme will be released on May 12th at 12pmCST and the readathon itself will take place June 26th-July 2nd.
This blog post is going to go over all the info you need plus answer some frequently asked questions that I get about our readathons!
I was a little worried about summer's reading challenge because I just had no ideas. I mean, there's only so many times I could do a beach reading kit, you know?
But, no worries, the fact that each season is meant to be a royal court in a different corner of Bookverse worked in my favor and we managed to get a theme that's been requested for a long time!
I'm not sure I can tell you guys how excited I am for spring. This winter has been rough to say the least and releasing our reading challenge has become one of my first signs that the current season is almost over.
We're visiting a different royal court of the Bookverse and for spring, I wanted to do a bright, floral library and I was a little wary of the colors I picked at first but by the time I finished the kit, I had fallen in love with it!
Winter is coming to an end (finally!) which means it's time to start prepping for our next readathon! For March, we're going to the valley of Bookverse to have a retro picnic with some bookish friends and I can't wait for this theme!
It's not my usual style, but I've been wanting to branch out with this type of theme for awhile but I knew Spring would be the perfect time.
