Sci-Fi Summer 2026 - Mid-Event Check-In

We're midway through! I hope your reading is going well. I managed to finish Freezing Point and Remote Control (audio) and started Fire & Blood over the weekend. My slump is improving!

Our Junteenth three day readathon starts this Friday at 12:00 am eastern through the end of Sunday. I hope you will join us. If you feel so inclined to read books by black sci-fi or fantasy authors over the weekend, here is a Goodreads list of books. I'm planning to read Dawn by Octavia Butler. There will be a post here the day before the event starts.

Let me know your progress so far, or leave a link, in the comments.

2026 Spring into Horror Readathon - This scary month is over, but the scary continues (mwahahaha)

Another readathon has come to an end. I hope you were able to get some good scary reading in. Unfortunately, I have been in a reading funk since this year started. I'm 11 books behind on my yearly reading goal. Yikes! I'm hoping May will be the turning point for me. That being said, I did start Marla by Jonathan Janz which I'm really enjoying. If you like horror, I highly recommend his books. As stated in the post title, the scary continues for me. Next up...The Siren of Groves Peak by Glenn Rolfe.

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 see what books everyone read.

Next month is Sci-Fi Summer (during which you can also read fantasy). I'll post the sign-up by the middle of the month. I hope you will join us! We're going to do a Juneteenth 3-Day Readathon in lieu of a 24-Hour Readathon. A good time to focus on black fantasy/sci-fi authors, though not required. 

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

2026 Spring into Horror - Mid-Event Check-In and tomorrow is the 24-Hr Opposite Readathon!

The partial reading slump continues. *frown* I hope your reading is faring better.

I'm hoping to get in some quality reading time this weekend with our 24-Hour Opposite event starting tomorrow at 8:00 pm (until 8:00 pm Saturday). I'm also participating in Dewey's 24-Hour which starts Saturday morning, and the Escape for 24 hours event that runs from 8:00 pm tomorrow until 8:00 pm Sunday night. A packed readathon weekend. Links to the Discords for the latter two are below, if you're interested (or not already joining in).
