Hi, friends! It's time for our August readathon, and this one goes from August 25th to August 31st so we can close out the Summer Series Smash event with one last big push!
We have one optional prompt for this round:
🌻 read a book that meets a challenge goal! (It doesn't have to be the Summer Series Smash)
Post your TBR and progress updates whenever you're ready, here or in the Discord server (or both). Happy reading!

Hello, friends! It's time for another readathon! This one goes from Friday, July 25th to Sunday, July 27th.

Post your TBR and progress updates whenever you're ready, here or in the Discord server (or both). Happy reading!

Hi, friends! We're going to pretend that I didn't totally forget to host a readathon this entire month until now, and that I'm not trying to buy all of your forgiveness by making this round extra long. 😅
Really, though, I know a lot of us will have some extra time off at the end of the coming week, so I thought it was the perfect time for one of our extended readathon rounds! This round goes from Saturday, June 28th to Sunday, July 6th.
A few optional prompts for you...
🌻 read a book with plants on the cover
🌻 read a book from a series (for our Summer Series Smash!)
🌻 read a book published in 2024 or 2025 (just for fun)
Post your TBR and progress updates whenever you're ready, here or in the Discord server (or both). Happy reading!

#1: "Beloved Author": Ben Bova for The Winds of Altair"
That's totally fine! I'm glad you're joining us! 🥰

This summer, instead of our usual bingo, we're doing a new special challenge: the Summer Series Smash! This challenge runs from June 1st to August 31st and the main goal is to read as many series books as you can, but I've made a bingo board that includes some standalone prompts to give you a way to break things up a little. Each book counts for ONE prompt!
I wanted to post this here for anyone to use, but the discussion and giveaway will be limited to the Discord server, so I highly encourage you to join! Either way, I hope the challenge helps you meet your reading goals and that you have a delightfully bookish season ahead of you. 🥰 Happy reading!

It's time for our last readathon round of 2024! This round goes from Saturday, December 21st to Wednesday, December 25th.
I know we're long overdue for a short weekend round, but with the holidays coming up, a lot of people have days off and might want to spend a little extra time reading. That said, a lot of us stay busy during this time of December, so there's no pressure if you can't join for the entire round (or at all)!
Our optional prompt this round is...
🎁 gift yourself the joy of reading a 5 star prediction
Post your TBR and progress updates whenever you're ready, here or in the Discord server (or both). Happy reading!
