Jólabókaflóð

Happy Jólabókaflóð! Want to join in on this Icelandic tradition? You can find a bit of inspiration for gifting books this holiday season.

Have you heard of Jólabókaflóð? Here are reasons why we all should be celebrating:

1. Reading is a restful activity but we hardly carve out time to do so.
2. Allows you to pause during the holiday chaos, leave your phone on silent, and crack open a book!
3. Gifting books to others (or even yourself!) can be a new annual tradition to look forward to.

How do you pronounce Jólabókaflóð? Yo-la-bok-a-flot. In Icelandic, it roughly translates to “flood of books”!
