The 52 Book Club's 12 Days of Christmas Reading Challenge
105 participants, 388 books
Overview
On the first day of Christmas, The 52 Book Club gave to me… a brand new mini-challenge!
How the 12 Days of Christmas challenge works:
This month’s challenge is all about THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS! This popular holiday song is stuffed with inspiration for your December reads. (You can find the lyrics to the song below.)
-
Choose your difficulty
This month, the number of reads is up to you! You may pick anywhere from 3-12 books to complete this challenge.
-
Each book must be somehow inspired by or connected to the song The 12 Days of Christmas.
Get creative! The song could relate to the book title, theme, setting, characters, or even the author! Holiday or not, murder mystery or romance or non-fiction, 12 short Christmas stories, a themed series… The possibilities with this one are nearly endless!
** Note: While this is a “12 Days of Christmas” mini-challenge, the books you pick don’t have to be holiday themed. We recognize that not everyone participates in this holiday. The verses to this song are open to wide interpretation and you should be able to complete this challenge using non-seasonal reads too.
The 12 Days of Christmas Song Lyrics:
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves, and
A partridge in a pear tree
