2024 CalendarCat Planning Thread

Welcome to CalendarCAT planning!

You can offer a theme, or just suggest things associated with the month.

A few Wikipedia sites that might help the hosts:

Multinational festivals and holidays: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_multinational_festivals_and_holidays
Holidays by country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_holidays_by_country
National days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_day
Minor secular observances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minor_secular_observances
Literary birthdays: http://librarybooklists.org/literarybirths/bjan.htm

Also we can also use birthstones, birth flowers, zodiac signs, month name in title or author, anything tied to that month in some way.

May as well choose my birthday month! July please.

I'll take September.

Could I please have February?

I'll take January, but will gladly give it up if someone wants it badly.

I'll go for the merry month of May!

I'll take August!

Put me down for my birthday month of December.

I've got everyone so far. Please check to make sure I've got it right.

I can do March, my birthday month.

I will take November.

I've got everyone up to here. Three more months to go!

I'll take April.

I can take June.

Almost there...

We need one more host. For October.

I have never hosted before... but wouldn't mind trying....

>17 bookworm3091: YAY! We'll be available to help if you need it. You're down for October.

And we're all set! No doubt I'll post January's a bit before the 15th of December.

I am really looking forward to this challenge! I haven‘t done CalendarCAT before and it looks like so much fun!

>20 MissBrangwen: It was a lot of fun last time. There are some really esoteric holidays and festivals out there. Just doing the research to find them was fun.

I'm eager to get started on it too!

>20 MissBrangwen: neither have I, but I'm willing to "give it a go"!

>1 majkia: Thanks for organizing this. RL has been challenging for the last few weeks and for the first time I haven't volunteered for anything. It's starting to settle down now and I'm looking forward to the new year's reading challenges. I remember this was a fun category the last time we had it.

I've posted the January CalendarCAT early. Find it here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/355820

Have fun!
