It's time for another readathon — and this month, we're having one of our week-long readathons! This round goes from Friday, May 25th to Thursday, May 31st.

We have TWO optional prompts:
💮 Congratulations, graduates! Read a book with a school or academy setting!
💮 May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, so read a book written by an AAPI author!

If you need help, here's a page of lists containing books in school settings and here's a list of AAPI-authored books!

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