Hi, friends! We're going to pretend that I didn't totally forget to host a readathon this entire month until now, and that I'm not trying to buy all of your forgiveness by making this round extra long. 😅

Really, though, I know a lot of us will have some extra time off at the end of the coming week, so I thought it was the perfect time for one of our extended readathon rounds! This round goes from Saturday, June 28th to Sunday, July 6th.

A few optional prompts for you...
🌻 read a book with plants on the cover
🌻 read a book from a series (for our Summer Series Smash!)
🌻 read a book published in 2024 or 2025 (just for fun)

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