As always, a shout out to the person who originally inspired this event...Mallory (The Haunted Reading Room). This is our third year, folks...and we are now a two week long event!
How do you like the Fahrenheit 451 background? I'm going to be reading the book in June with my Goodreads group, TuesBookTalk. It's a reread (I think). Honestly, it has been so long, I can't remember! Really looking forward to the HBO film coming next weekend!
Details:
- Read-a-Thon dates: Friday, June 1 at 12:00am CDT until Thursday, June 14 at 11:59pm CDT (adjust your time zone accordingly...there's a time zone converter in the sidebar menu). We do a different day configuration (rather than starting on a Monday and ending on a Sunday) to go along with the quirkiness of science fiction. 👽
- Since science fiction is a very specific genre, this will be strictly reading science fiction during the event. However, since fantasy is so closely related to the genre (often grouped together), if you feel more comfortable reading fantasy, that is also fine.
- to check in on social media, we'll use our new hashtag #SciFiJune
- as usual, you do not have to have a blog to participate...feel free to link up and check in from Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, etc. These days, it seems most of our activity goes on in our Facebook group which I love. We have a great community over there...and it's not just during readathons. Everyone should feel free to post in there any time.
- As always, please refer to the Guidelines page if you have any questions, or you can contact me via the contact me tab (both are in the sidebar menu).
- Grab a button! You can get it from the sidebar using the handy grab code, or save the image to your computer to share.
As with the Christmas Spirit Readathon, I usually do not secure prize donations, but I will be offering one small prize this time. However, if anyone would like to donate prizes, please let me know.
I'm excited that Sci-Fi Summer is now a tradition! I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am!

Would not miss! I'm participating in this, and because I so love it, I'm dedicating June entirely as my personal Space Out With Sci Fi Readathon!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to getting reacquainted to my love of Sci-fi, the moon, the stars, the galaxies, and everything in between. https://mysternightowl.wordpress.com/2018/05/21/may-ideas-leading-into-june/

Sci fi is one of my favorite genres. I think I'll go the graphic novel route this time!
