Giveaway Details
This is a readathon participant only giveaway. To be eligible, you must have signed up, participated and added a link to the official readathon wrap-up post at the end of the readathon (I will give everyone until Friday, Friday, September 8th at 11:59 pm EDT to complete their wrap-ups). We no longer use a linky for wrap-ups. The Google form link on our wrap-up post is where you will enter your info, your wrap-up link, and answer yes/no on whether you want to win a prize or not. I will choose the winner of the above prize by random selection using random.org Winner will be chosen after the wrap-up post deadline (see above).

I will have the kick off post live that day at the Castle Macabre blog, with all the info, and the reading schedule for our read-along of Stephen Kng's If It Bleeds. The FrightFall Readathon, hosted here, starts on October 1st. Sign up for that event will be posted before mid-September.

2023 High Summer Readathon - Now we start!

The heat is ON this year in parts of the U.S. Has me so thankful that I moved back to Michigan three years ago. Hopefully, this month of reading can be time to stay inside and read, luxuriating in the air conditioning. lol

If you have any questions about how things work, check out the guidelines in the sidebar menu or the sign up post, or you can always leave me a comment (or send me a message via the contact form). 

I will post a mid-event check-in post at the halfway point. Our hashtag for the readathon across social media is #HSreadathon The second prize I'm offering will be announced on the mid-event check-in. More on the charity prize below.

Stop by our  Facebook group and our Facebook Page, and our Goodreads group and Instagram. We are also on Discord. Introduce yourself in the #general channel, and look for the readathon specific channel for the current readathon. Here is the invite link if you haven't already joined: https://discord.gg/e6uAmXtGqA
