Jólabókaflóðið

jolabokaflod cover; christmas tree of books with a gold star on top

Unless you can read Icelandic, that title might be a bit confusing. While we don't put much stock in holidays here at WW, a few special days are definitely worth celebrating. Jolabokaflod is my personal favorite.


Loosely translated, it means "the Christmas book flood" and it can transcend December holiday rituals.


Each year on December 24, those who celebrate Jolabokaflod gift books to friends and family, then spend the evening reading. How perfect is that?!


Check our #self-promo channel on Discord (or comment below) to find great, giftable options and share some of your own. We recommend these books we released this year:


WayWords issue 17, "kindness"


WayWords issue 18, "kids write"


WayWords issue 19, "mountain"


WayWords issue 20, "messy"

(links coming Dec 13)


Tales from the Unknown

(links coming Dec 6)


72 Hours vol. 13
