Summerween 2025

 

Hello fellow pumpkin spiced readers! Yes, it’s that time of year again. It’s time for the Summerween book readathon! This super fun readathon was created by _myfictionalworld (also known as gabbyreads) and oliviareadsalatte on Instagram and YouTube. If you aren’t familiar with this popular readathon, it is a week long event in which fellow book lovers are encouraged to read thrillers and chillers that give you the spooky vibes in the summertime.

In other words, something I look forward to every year. The readathon is taking place from July 5-12th and you can check out the prompts and Instagram challenges on the event’s Instagram page (@thisissummerween). Like last year I will be starting the readathon a bit earlier on July 3rd (sadly, I still have a 9-5 so I have to sneak in reading time when I can) and I am going to try and follow the specific prompts. Check out below to see what I’m hoping to sink my teeth into and make sure to tune in after the readathon for my reviews of the books I read.

Are you participating in the readathon? What do you hope to read?
