Don't forget that you can participate even if you don't have a blog. Just link up with your Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram (and just post your updates from whichever venue you choose) AND don't forget to interact with us in our groups on Facebook and Goodreads, Facebook Page, and we're on Instagram! If you have any questions about updates, etc., feel free to ask. I will be posting a mid-event check-in here, and I will do my best to interact across social media.
I did not receive any prize donations this time, but I will be offering a small book prize, in addition to the charity prize (details below). I will not do a prize page this time. I will list my book prize on the mid-event check-in page.
My charity donation prize will be awarded at the beginning of the readathon. How that will work is anyone who signs up in the linky AND leaves a comment on the STARTING LINE post (post will be live at midnight on June 1st) will be entered in the draw for the charity prize. You must include your email address in your comment, or send it to me via the contact form (link in sidebar). Be sure to follow the directions, as I will draw the winner this Saturday.
Prize details are....
I will make a $15 donation to the winner's choice of a social justice organization, such as the ACLU, Boys and Girls Club, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, Amnesty International, It Gets Better, Planned Parenthood, or another social justice organization of your choice (food banks, homeless shelters, animal rights/rescue/shelters would also apply), perhaps your local chapter or a local organization. This giveaway is open internationally. Note: I will not donate to any organization that does not believe all are equal, regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation.
I hope you will consider having your donation made to one of these organizations fighting on the front lines of the Black Lives Matter movement (click each link to learn more). Another great cause would be an indigenous persons charity. Here are some ideas.
Unicorn Riot
NAACP Legal Defense Fund
Campaign Zero
Movement for Black Lives
BYP100
TGI Justice Project
Audre Lorde Project
Metro Atlanta Mutual Aid Fund
National Bail Fund Network
The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights
Social media hashtag across all platforms - #SciFiJune (you can also use #Readathon).
If you have any questions about how things work, check out the guidelines tab in the menu or the sign up post, or you can always leave me a comment. This is the same linky used for sign-ups so 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 (goal post).
Note: If you're just signing up, you can do it here on this post. It's the same linky.

Thanks for hosting again!
ReplyDeleteI ended up listening to Dune on audio. I just couldn't get through it in print; I'm blaming the small type in the copy I had.
Yeah, my copy has pretty small print too. We'll see. Thanks for joining in again. Leave your email address if you want to be entered in the charity giveaway (or message it to me via contact form). I'll be drawing the winner on Saturday.
DeleteI'll try to slide a scifi in as well, but I'm gonna be tackling A Game of Thrones first. My boyfriend suggested the S.M. Stirling series The Change. So that'll work, I think that'll be my scifi choice. I'll be doing updates on FB :)
ReplyDeleteA Game of Thrones. One of my faves. SO good. Thanks for joining us!

I have signed up for this one but not sure I will actually get it done. There is always hoping though, right?
