Another year of Thankfully Reading Weekend has come to an end! While I never get as much reading done as I’d like, I hope to catch up on our drive home today!

For those of you interested in doing a wrap-up post, I’ve included a link-up below.

Thank you again to all who participated. Get those last few hours of reading in!!

It’s Day Four of Thankfully Reading Weekend! Can you believe how quickly the time has flown by?

Today, I encourage you to take a small break from reading to participate in Small Business Saturday.  Have a local independent bookstore? Pay them a visit and let them know how much you appreciate them!  As the owner of my own small business, I do appreciate the importance of shopping local!

Since we’re traveling, I can’t visit my favorite independent bookstore, One More Page Books in person, but I do plan on shopping online!  We’ll also visit some of my favorite small business here, too!

Today’s prompt is easy! Did you visit your local indie today? Share a pic of your purchases!  Link up your post below, or tag your social medial post with #thankfullyreading!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We have a nice low-key Thanksgiving planned. We ordered dinner, so we just need to warm it up! We’re making some of our own favorite sides, but I think we’re all looking for some more time to chill & relax.

For today’s prompt, let’s talk about a “reading menu.” What makes a good menu? What are your favorite genres, favorite books, favorite tropes? Any tactics authors use that drives you crazy (like cliffhangers!?).

This is the official kick off post for Thankfully Reading! Instead of braving the crowds and shopping this weekend, we’re spending our time curled up with a book!

Feel free to link up your kick-off post below, as well as any update posts you have. Use Instagram, Threads or Bluesky? Just tag your post with #thankfullyreading so we an see it! Haven’t signed up yet to participate? Not to worry! There is still plenty of time!

If you don’t know what to post, here are some ideas. But remember there are no rules; feel free to post as little/as much as you like!

How will/did you celebrate Thanksgiving?
What’s in your TBR pile for the weekend?
How much time do you think you’ll have for reading?
What book are you starting out with?
Are you reading print, ebooks, or audio? Maybe a bit each?

What books will you be talking about during Thanksgiving dinner? Be sure to keep track of any recommendations you receive and share when you have the time. If you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, don’t worry, this is a weekend for everyone!

Throughout this event, feel free to post about your progress, then take a break and check out everyone else’s posts. I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone else is celebrating Thankfully Reading Weekend!

Don’t forget to use the hashtag #thankfullyreading so we can connect all these posts across the platforms!

On Sunday afternoon, I’ll post another link-up for your wrap-up post. Tell us how your Thankfully Reading Weekend went. You could give mini-reviews of your books, tell us how many books and which books you read, number of pages, number of hours, and so on. This is a rule-free event, so you can wrap up the weekend however you’d like.
