And yes starts tomorrow, but based on whatever time zone you are in unless you want to use the Goodreads time zone which is PDT :)

Hey Readers! Somehow the month of June has completely blown by. Where has 2023 gone!? This means our quarterly challenges are ending and so to help you get those last minute books in, we are hosting an all you can read read-a-thon! This will start on June 28th (starting at your midnight time zone) and will end on June 30th (ending at your midnight time zone). This will also be a page goal challenge - yay!
The goal is 5,000 pages across the board. Any book that you finish between June 28th-30th is eligible to count towards the page goal including graphic novels, and comics. For audiobooks, please post either the % you've finished each day or the most rated page count when you finish.
Since it's Pride month, any book with an MPG of Queer of LGBTQ will get a multiplier of 1.5! Please indicate which books should receive this bonus.
What you need to do in order to participate:
Step 1 - Sign up on this thread!
Step 2 - Post your progress each day!
Step 3 - Have fun and read lots of good books!
Q: How do I post my progress for each day?
A: You can track your progress in any format. However, please post your progress in a single comment and use the edit function to update it. Here is an example:

Thursday: Finished
