Hello, friends! It's time for another readathon! This month will be one of our long readathons (these are my fave!) and will go from 12:00AM (your time) Sunday, June 19th to 11:59PM (your time) Saturday, June 25th!

We have two OPTIONAL prompts for this month's readathon:
🌈 it's PRIDE month, so read a book by an LGBTQIA+ author or featuring an LGBTQIA+ main character!
🌈 read a book with 3 or more colors on the cover!

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!

P.S. Don't forget we're running our first ever BINGO event in the Discord server until the end of July!
