This readathon is very laid back. We don't want anyone to feel pressured by this. But that doesn't mean it's a free for all. So here are a few guidelines. Some of these things you don't necessarily need to follow. Others, it would be preferred.

1. Each readathon will take place the entire month. We want to do these every few months (probably 3-4). It will start on the 1st of the month at midnight and end (techincally) at midnight on the 1st of the next month.

2. All of the books that you count toward this readathon MUST been books that you owned or ordered BEFORE we announce that month's challenges. We won't have a set date for when we release the month's challenges. It will depend on what's going on the prior month. For example, July has a lot of readathons going on at the end of the month, so we decided to announce August's challenges earlier in the month so people could figure out their TBR and not stress about it during the other readathons.

3. The goal is to complete 6 challenges (I know that seems like a lot but hold that thought). Obviously, this readathon is for you guys so if you want to complete one challenge, do one. If you want to do all of the challenges, do all of them!

4. Now, back to the 6 challenges. You can use 2 challenges for one book, but no more than 2. So, that means that, technically, to "complete" the readathon, you would read 3 books minimum. We wanted this to be relaxed but also challenge you to read your TBR books.

That's it! Other than being respectful of other people and their opinions, there's not much else to say. We are all (mostly) adults here. We can treat each other like human beings. If you are being rude to another member, you will be removed from this group and all other Read-a-thin social media. No warnings. BE RESPECTFUL!

Amanda (mandij17) | 2 comments Do ebooks count for this read-a-thin? That's where a lot of my 2017 releases are...

Amanda (mandij17) | 2 comments Thank you! I just wanted to make sure before I set my ideas in stone because some people say yes and others say no.

Chelsea If you're new and haven't done a readathon before check out the above guidlines. They are a smidge different this time around but this can give you a general idea. Hopefully this comment bumps this bad boy back to the front page!

Elizabeth So we basically pick the 6 Challenges we want to do , we don't have to do all of them then , because I know I won't be able to do Challenges :
14:. Read a book that is due back to the library the soonest ( don't use my local library because of how rude the librarians are), or number 16:. Read a book you got from a subscription box ( haven't found a subscription box I want to try )

Basically yes! That way if you can't find a book for each challenge you don't have to! Some of the challenges too we did to help with other readathons going on so they may not even fit for everyone.
