Here’s a question for you: have you ever time-traveled? It’s said that books are time-travel portals, and they can lead you anywhere… 👀
Last time around, during the Enchanted Bookly Readathon, we traveled through the magical realm and we channeled all the fairytale vibes & typical fantasy tropes!
For our new readathon, we’ll be traveling back in time, to a distant age, before our era. Can you guess where? 💭
If you answered the Stone Age, you’re absolutely right!
Are you ready for the adventure? 🌋
Feel the atmosphere getting colder, see lush vegetation start growing all around, and enjoy watching all the wild animals run free! 🦕
Here’s our challenge for all of you hunter-gatherers: join the Prehistoric #BooklyReadathon, between July 25th and 31st! 🙌
Get that good old wheel spinning for a whole week – yes, you’ve read that right: 7️⃣ full days of reading! How far away in time can you go? 👣
Grab your tribe, share the news, and join the adventure! Yup, we know, it definitely sounds exciting, but you must remember to keep your coal (prehistoric pun intended 😂).
Think you can win the Bookly Readathon?
You do? Then grab your books (e-books and audiobooks, too ✌), get your attire ready, and let the time-travel begin!
We know that you’re all ardent readers and that you devour books like a dinosaur devours its prey. 👀
Sooo, we’ve extended the readathon from 4 days to a whole week, and added more reading hours! 👏 It’s true what they say, the more, the merrier!
To honor our ancestors and the world’s oldest instrument, get your drums ready: it’s time to see the challenges 👇
