Fantastic! We (Bryan, that is) did the same thing. It makes the whole season 20 percent more fun.
Thanks to the pod. We decided to do a family Jolabokaflod on Christmas Eve Eve. I would call it a huge success. Kids both finished their graphic novels. They already decided next year we should have a secret Santa jolabokaflod

Bookshop.org: Buy books online. Support local bookstores.
A better way to buy books online. Every purchase financially supports local independent bookstores.
