Countdown to Start
Countdown to End

Shout out to Ilsen for the idea for this theme! June is Pride month and we look to celebrate that with a 24hr readathon and a we personally challenge ourselves to read as many middle grade OR YA books with characters that represent the LGBT+ community or are written by an author who is a part of the LGBT+ community. Should be fun!

Don’t know what to read for this readathon? Check out the LGBT+ book recommendation page!

*Did you know you can extend this 24hr readathon into a 48hr readathon by taking part in tomorrow’s readathon too? The themes are the same and no sign up required!*

8 hours to go...

How many books are you aiming to read?
Have you got any books picked out that you can’t wait to start?

Let’s discuss below!

I have six books for this readathon, which I probably won't get through, but that's okay, I'll just read them later. Two are YA but the other four are MG. I'm really excited to read Openly Straight and The Pants Project.

Ugh, I just realized that I'm going to my cousins for our mixed birthday tomorrow. Oh, well. I'll just do as many as I can.

Ooh, sounds like you have some interesting books picked Zaiyah!
If you don’t have enough time you can always take part in Sunday’s 24hr readathon as well to make it a 48hr readathon. Up to you :)

Thanks!

I’m planning on reading Final Draft for now! Not sure what the rest of my TBR is going to be

The end has come!

How many books did you manage to read? Did you reach your target?
