destiny ♡’s comments from the Unexpected Readathon Time / Books Out of the Blue group.

Hello, lovelies! It's time for another readathon! I know we just did a long readathon last month, but since our big BINGO event is coming to a close at the end of July, I thought we could do another week-long readathon to give us all an extra "push" to knock out those TBRs! ♥

This readathon will go from 12:00AM (your time) Monday, July 25th to 11:59PM (your time) Sunday, July 31st!

We have one OPTIONAL prompt this round:
🌻 read a book that features a game or contest of some kind! (this could include sports, trials, school exams, pageants, etc.)

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

If you would like an invite to the Discord server, please message me here on Goodreads or comment below and I'll DM you an invite link!

Almost readathon time! (Technically, I think it's already started or is about to start for some of you!) What is everyone going to read first?

TBR →
A Taste of Gold and Iron (queer author + MC)
The Ghost that Ate Us (3+ colors)
Anybody Home?
Hell Followed with Us (queer author + MC)
The Death of Jane Lawrence

Hi, everyone! I have a big announcement today: we're starting our first ever special event: a bi-annual bingo challenge! It's from June 1st to July 31st. We have a lot of bingo cards to choose from, so you can pick which card(s) suit your reading goals best!

Here's the catch: Goodreads isn't the ideal place for bingo card challenges because you need an easy space to upload your cards in progress, so participation threads and the end-of-event giveaway will be confined to the Discord server. If you want to post your updates and enter the giveaway for a $20 BookDepository book, you'll need to join the Discord server. (It's free, safe, and there is a website as well as a mobile app!)

If you'd like to join the server, comment below or DM me! If you'd just like to view the cards for your own reading goals, they'll be here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kbFlQ...

I'm sorry again that we won't be able to host this event within the Goodreads group, but if you aren't in the Discord, I hope you'll consider joining us. We have a lot of fun and I think this event is going to be a blast! 🥰

Olga wrote: "Oooh, I think I might be out on this one. Too many plans, not enough time. I'll still try to pop in and cheer you all on, though!!"

I hope your weekend goes well, Olga! 🥰

I'll mostly be working on current reads, but I did pick a book for the prompt that will be my top priority during the readathon:
