Hey There, Bookish Trailblazers! 🚀 The new year is here, and so is your chance to flip to Page One of a whole new chapter in your reading journey. Welcome to the Page One Bookly Readathon, where your bookish goals take center stage, and your TBR finally stands a chance (hopefully). 🎉
During our last reading challenge, we’ve descended into the most wicked, spooky vibes and spine-tingling reads which haunted our dreams and fueled our nightmares 📖🪦
This time, we’re flipping the script on our reading goals! Because, let’s be real, someone has to deal with that TBR pile. (Maybe it’s us. Maybe it’s not. Who’s to say?) Forget the same old resolutions; this is 11 days of pure page-turning chaos.
We’re talking fresh reads, crushed goals, and a whole vibe shift for your reading life. Got a dusty book you’ve been dodging? A new obsession you can’t wait to binge? Now’s the time.
The challenge? Rewrite your bookish destiny, one chapter at a time. The rewards? Totally worth it. So…are you in? ♥️
PAGE ONE BOOKLY READATHON
From January 30th to February 9th, we’re giving you 11 days to crush those goals, tackle that TBR, and set the tone for your best reading year yet. Whether you’re diving into an epic fantasy, exploring the unknown, or just trying to clear out that “new year, same pile” situation—this readathon’s got you covered. 📚
Registration for the Page One Bookly Readathon opens on January 8th and will be open until January 29th. Signing up is easy: update your Bookly app, tap “join” on the Readathon tab, and start tracking your reading sessions. ⭐
Oh, and don’t forget to flex on your fellow bookworms! Use the hashtag #BooklyReadathon on social media to share your progress, find bookish inspo, and maybe make a few reading buddies along the way.
What Are the Page One Challenge Levels?
Who will claim the top spot? (Spoiler: It could be you 😌) There are 4 levels you can reach based on the number of hours you spend reading:
