ATTENTION, CARNEVALIERS!
Drop everything—the Midway is crackling with MAGIC! ✨
SURPRISE SPRINT: MIDWAY MAGIC HOUR—STARTING NOW! (....well, very soon) For 48 HOURS ONLY (April 9–11, midnight your time), the carnival’s hidden enchantment activates:
🔥 FINISH a book? DOUBLE TICKETS! (250 pages = 6 tickets, not 3!)
🔥 MAX 5 BOOKS per player—so pick your favorites!
🔥 TEAM BONUS: If 3+ teammates finish a book, +5 MORE TICKETS for the WHOLE TEAM!
🎟️ REPORT TO THE RINGMASTER:
One teammate must submit ALL finished books in the Check-In Thread by April 13th (no duplicates—or the carnival goblins get grumpy).
⚡ YOU’VE BEEN SNEAK-ATTACKED BY LITERARY LUCK!
Will you rise to the challenge? Will your team unlock the bonus? The clock’s ticking… READ LIKE THE WIND!
🕵️♂️ Psst… Spread the word, but act fast—this magic won’t last!
