2025 High Summer Readathon - Sign up!


Time for some reading during the dog days of summer. It has already been pretty hot this year for Michigan. I'm really hoping it doesn't get any hotter, but you know how July/August can be. I'm up for reading comfortably in the air conditioning and staying hydrated. How about you?

We start at 12:00 am eastern time on August 1st and end at 11:59 pm eastern time on August 31st. (There is a handy link to a time zone converter in the sidebar menu.) Guidelines for the readathon can be found HERE or you can access in the sidebar menu. Any information you need about our readathons can be found there.

Giveaways are suspended for now due to financial reasons (though I may bring them back in the future).
There will no longer be a wrap-up deadline since prizes are eliminated...meaning wrap-ups are optional, but it's always nice to see what everyone read.

Our social media hashtag is #HSreadathon
Our social media:
Facebook group
Facebook page
Goodreads group
Instagram
StoryGraph
Discord - this is an invite link. If you're already a member, you should still be able to access the server
(There is a High Summer channel in the Discord channel sidebar).

All links to our social media are also in the sidebar menu.

Some orders of business...
  • We have one 24-Hour readathon during each month-long event. The High Summer 24-Hour event will be on Saturday, August 23rd at 10:00 am Eastern time. I will be doing most of my updates and check-ins on Discord (invite link to our Discord). Discord is free to join and it would be cool to have some lively chats over there. There will be a post here the day before the 24-Hour event starts. Full details about the 24-Hour readathon events on the Guidelines page.

  • I will post a mid-event check-in here on the blog.

  • Grab the button and spread the word! There’s a grab code in the sidebar or download the image at the top of this post.
Any questions at all? Leave me a comment, or send me a message via the contact me link in the sidebar menu.

2025 Sci-Fi Summer Readathon - We've reached the end of the galaxy


Our journey is over...until next year. I'd like to thank everyone who joined us (and those who also joined in on our 24-Hour event). I hope you all enjoyed yourselves. I know I did!

We no longer have a wrap-up deadline since I have eliminated (perhaps temporarily) giveaways. The linky at the bottom of the post is the same one we've been using for this readathon. You can link to your wrap-up there, or leave a link (or summary) in the comments. Completely up to you, but I do try to get around to find out what everyone read.

That's it for now. Stay tuned for the High Summer Readathon coming up in August. I'll have sign-up posted by mid-July. I hope you will join us!

Add your wrap-up link below. After your name, put wrap-up in parentheses beside your name. Example: Michelle (wrap-up).
