Announcing the 11th Zoladdiction in 2024! #Zoladdiction2024

April is coming soon, which means that Zoladdiction is just around the corner! And this would be the 11^th Zoladdiction! For you who are not familiar with it, Zoladdiction is a reading event on April, to celebrate the birthday of Émile Zola (in 2^nd April). It is mainly because we love Zola's writings, and also to get more and more people to appreciate his works. For the whole month we will read, post, and talk about Zola - his life, his works, and his influences.

How It Works

• Pick any of Zola's works, or Zola's biography, and read them. Any books about Zola by other writers are acceptable too.
• Post your review/thoughts on your blog/social media (you can use hashtag #Zoladdiction2024).
• But I also encourage you to go beyond reading…
• Yes, we will still read Zola, but during April we can also share/post/tweet/talk about just any thing that is related to Zola. A book you're reading reminds you of Zola? Share it! Found Zola's quote on Twitter? Retweet it! Or Zola’s picture on Instagram? Share it! Watched movie about Zola? Share it! Anything.
• Don’t have time to read one book? Worry not, a short story or essay is equally good.
• To participate, simply leave comment, or mention me on Twitter, using hashtag #Zoladdiction2024, and tell us your plans for Zoladdiction (it might inspire others).
• If you want, you may grab and put Zoladdiction banner on your blog, so that others might aware about it.
• If you blog about your participation, leave the link in comment box.
• Linky will be provided in the Master Post (will be published on April 2^nd - on Zola's birthday). You can submit links to your Zola posts there.

 
So, are you in? What's your plan?

Mine would be another re-read of my most favorite book of all time: Germinal. This would be my third (the second one was 9 years ago), and this time I will be listening to the audiobook. I also plan to read a few short stories from Zola’s three collections (haven’t decided the title). Now, I’m very excited to return to Germinal (psstt… I might even start earlier!), and can’t wait to see what you will read!
