Hello, friends! It's time for another readathon, and this one is a week-long round! πŸ₯³ These are my favorites, hehe. This one goes from Friday, November 24th to Thursday, November 30th to give us a chance to finish up our November TBR lists before the big BINGO starts on December 1st!

NOTE: If you want to join the December Bingo event, you'll need to join the Discord server! (link below)

As always, we have some optional prompts...
πŸ€— read a book about family (found, adopted, blood-related, etc.)
πŸ€— read a book that makes you feel thankful (maybe a favorite author, a series you love, or just a trope you're grateful exists!)

Post your TBR and progress updates whenever you're ready, here or in the Discord server (or both)!

DISCORD: https://discord.gg/yHnXTareA9
