Hi, friends! It's time for another readathon! We're going for a long weekend this time: Thursday, March 17th to Sunday, March 20th!

We have one (painfully obvious 😂) optional prompt for this month's readathon:
🍀 For St. Patrick's Day, read a book with green on the cover!

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

That's still great! I'm sorry your review books are boring, though! I hate that feeling 😂

Thank you everyone for participating! ♥

Hi, friends! It's time for another readathon! The last one was just a weekend, so we're going for a full week this time: starting at 12:00AM (your time) Sunday, February 13th and ending at 11:59PM (your time) Saturday, February 19th!

We have two optional prompts for this readathon:
💖 February is Black History Month, so read a book written by a Black author!
💖 Valentine's Day falls during this readathon, so read a book with some sort of love~ in it! (It does NOT have to be romantic love — you can totally read a book about found family, or love for a friend, or a pet, or whatever you want!)

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!

Way to go, everyone! Whether you read 1 page or 1,000 - I'm proud of you! :D

I didn't meet my goals for the readathon, but I am still proud that I read every day and managed to knock a couple of things off of my January TBR!

Oh noooo, I hope you both feel better soon :(

I'm in the northern hemisphere AND we're being told we might actually get some snow later this week (which never happens here), so I'm crossing my fingers for all the winter vibes! I'm reading Weather Girl for the winter prompt.

Happy New Year, friends! It's time for our January 2022 readathon!

This readathon is going to be a short one - just 3 days this time! This readathon will start at 12:00AM (your time) on Friday, January 14th and will end at 11:59PM (your time) on Sunday, January 16th.

Since it's a short readathon, we just have one optional prompt:
✨ read a book with a wintry setting if you're in the northern hemisphere, or a book with a summer setting if you're in the southern hemisphere!

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

Let's say I'm pretty sure I won't succeed at this a second time, haha!

Way to go!!! That's amazing! :D

Thank you all SO much for joining! I had a more productive readathon during this round than I have for the last several rounds and I'm hoping it means I finally broke my "readathon reading slump" curse lol!

It's SO good so far! It's very much one of those books that has been sitting on my currently-reading shelf only because I kept forgetting to continue it, not because of the book lacking anything. I'm going to try very hard to make the time to finish the collection today, because I'm pretty sure it will fly by as soon as I sit down and focus on it!

Awwww, that's so precious!! I'm loving it so far! I'm not very far in, though.

My goal for the readathon is primarily to finish as many of my current reads as possible!

Hi, everyone! It's time for our last readathon of 2021 — AND our first readathon of 2022!

I know a lot of people aren't able to have big New Year's plans right now, so I figure quite a few of us will have a little extra reading time. That said, I know this is a busy time of year for a lot of people, so as always, participation is totally optional! Don't feel like you have to join every round of the readathon to be in this group! ♥

This readathon will begin at 12:00AM (your time) on Monday, December 27th and will end at 11:59PM (your time) on Sunday, January 2nd!

For this round, we only have one optional prompt, but feel free to read as many books for the prompt as you like:
🎆 read at least one book from your owned TBR!

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!
