~ Book Flood 2024 ~
The Christmas Book Flood or Yule book flood (Icelandic: Jólabókaflóðið) is a term used in Iceland for the annual release of new books occurring in the months before Christmas. These books are then purchased as presents to be gifted on Christmas Eve. This tradition makes books the most popular Christmas gift of the country. The tradition extends into the night, when Icelanders will often read their new books and drink hot chocolate.

THIRD ANNUAL BOOK FLOOD RETURNS!
Perhaps book lovers’ favorite sentence ever, at this time of year is that Jólabókaflóðið", Book Flood is returning. I love that this Icelandic tradition has become something my book family demands of me. I can’t help but answer the call to make all your book dreams come true! This year the tradition continues on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at 5:30 PM for an evening of magical book-giving and fun.
