2024 High Summer Readathon - Time to start!

Well, technically we started at 12:00 am eastern time...running a bit behind. Let's get this party started!

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). The linky below is the same one as the sign up linky. If you do a starting line/goal post, just add your link again, but be sure to put "goal post" beside your name, i.e. Michelle @ True Book Addict (goals or reading goals).

Reminders:

• There is a giveaway during every readathon. I offer two prizes. The first prize is a $15 social justice charity donation. The second prize is a $5 Amazon eGift card. Both giveaways are open internationally (for the Amazon gift, wherever Amazon is available). There will be a form on the wrap-up post where you can select which giveaway (one or both) you would like to enter. Details on how the giveaway works are on the Guidelines page.
  
  
• New this year...we are now having one 24-Hour readathon during each month-long event. The Sci-Fi Summer 24-Hour event will be on Saturday, August 24th at 10:00 am EDT. I will be doing most of my updates and check-ins on Discord (invite link to our Discord). It's free to join and it would be cool to have some lively chats over there. There will be a post here when the 24-Hour event starts. Full details about the 24-Hour event on the Guidelines page.
  
  
• I will post a mid-event check-in here on the blog

Any questions at all? Leave me a comment, or send me a message via the contact me link in the sidebar menu.

Before I post the linky, just wanted to share a quick Save the Date. Something Wicked Fall hosted over at my horror blog, Castle Macabre, kicks off on September 1st. We are having a Stephen King read-along during the event (which will go on during the two month event, along with the FrightFall Readathon in October) and I'd like you to help decide which book we will read. Just visit the Save the Date post here at Castle Macabre for details and the link to go vote. Check out the preliminary event button below...
