- The Beat the Heat Read-a-thon runs from July 29th through August 11th. What does this read-a-thon entail, you ask? Well, read as much or as little as you want – the main point is to READ! You set your own goal, and for two weeks you read as many books as you can/want to reach your goal!
- There will be mini-challenges throughout the Read-a-thon for participants, along with a grand prize giveaway at the end!
- Sign up at Auntie Spinelli Reads or Phantasmic Reads. You may join whenever you like, but to be eligible for our grand prize giveaway, you must sign up by August 5th.
- To join, all you have to do is make a sign-up post – even if it’s just a “Let’s do this!” thing – and add your post URL to the linky! You can put your goals and progress (will be required for the final giveaway) in your sign-up post, or you can make it separate. Totally up to you! Feel free to copy and paste this handy little list for your post. We don’t mind. 🙂
- In order to enter for the grand prize, you must have a post to keep track of your progress so we can see that you participated.
Julie’s Read-A-Thon Plan:
I thought this read-a-thon was a great idea since I think I bit off more than I can chew for August. This will help get me started on the right track and hopefully keep up with my reading plan and not get behind like I did in July. So here’s my plan for books I hope to read by August 11. I also plan to review all the books on this list.
Finish (books in progress):
- Inferno by Dan Brown (for book club this month)
- City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare
Read:
- Hold Me Closer, Necromancer (Necromancer, #1) by Lish McBride (for book club this month)
- Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler (for book club this month, audio)
- Elysian Fields (Sentinels of New Orleans, #3) by Suzanne Johnson (ARC for review)
- The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa (ARC for review)
- Shattered Souls (Souls, #1) by Mary Lindsey (for book club this month)
