Summer is finally here, and you know what that means, right?? 😱
It’s time to get crazy… and take your books outside for a reading session right on the beach!
Here’s to books, the cheapest vacation you can buy.
Charlaine Harris
Even if you’re not a fan of ocean air & salty hair 🌊🌊, you can always stretch out on a lawn chair in your backyard or on the living room couch with the windows wide open. Bottom line, there’s nothing like chilling with a good book on a hot summer day, sippin’ lemonade 🍋 , and fantasizing about your favorite characters…
Every summer has its stories, but for all the book lovers out there and us here at Bookly, every summer has its readathons! So, great news, y’all, we’ve got you covered 😎.
Readathons are always a great way to help you get through your never-ending TBR pile, while also adding new thrilling titles to your bookshelves. A book can be your one-way ticket to distant lands – even if we’re stuck at home, books have this magical power to take us to whole new different places AND times.
So, according to your TBRs, where are you heading this summer? 🗺️
Here are 10 readathons happening this June – or at least, what we could find 🤭. It’s time to sit back, relax, and plan your next reading escape!
- SciFi Summer (1-30 June) – you already know this one, right? This readathon takes place throughout the whole year, with each season bringing new vibes and books. #SciFi geek, are you in?
- #AYearAThon (1-30 June) – this month is all about re-reads! What a great opportunity to recapture the magic of your all-time favorites 💙. Or maybe you want to pick up a couple of those “difficult to read” books and get a more in-depth understanding of the story. It’s up to you
- Whatever-You-Want-A-Thon (1-30 June) – oh, we love this one so much! You can read as much as you want, any format you want, and of course, whatever you want!
- #MakeYourMythTaker (1-30 June)- myth, folklore & fairy tale retellings in fantasy books! Only the best, for the best!
