So that’s it for today! I’m so excited to share this with you all because we have been working on it for quite some time and I can not wait for the readathon to finally begin and have a lot of fun with you all!
Be sure to sign up and tag us in your TBR posts, we’d love to boost them!
Also, my TBR post will be up shortly, closer to September and maybe we could all buddy read some books if we have the same ones on our TBRs!
So, are you going to participate? Are you going to be doing the 7 main prompts or the 3 bonus ones as well? Have you signed up yet? How excited are you? Let me know in the comments below!

This looks amazing! I really want to take part but I’ve been in a slump for the past 3 months!! I haven’t even finished a book this month yet! Do readathons pull you out of slumps? I need help…

This is a really cool readathon! I’m sad that I’ve already read some of the books from the recommendations list..
Does it have to be YA or can I pick any other books that fit the prompt criteria too?🙂

Hi Jayati! This readathon looks really fun. I am thinking of participating! It’s about as reading as much as you can right? (I haven’t done a readathon before). That’s quite a challenge but it’s fine if you only achieve a books for each of the 7 prompts right?

Yes it is, and of course, that’s quite an achievement as well! I can barely manage to read 5 books a month these days so I’m striving to just get to 7!
