I think more people would participate in the read-a-thons (myself included) if we knew in advance when the dates of the challenge will be posted. Literally every month i want to participate but there's never an indicator as to when the prompts will get posted or which date it is and whenever i check it already started... anyways hopefully next month ill check in time.

It's always the last half of the month, but right now we're so busy that it's hard to schedule exactly. We will try to be more ahead of things.
You can join at anytime throughout the dates and any book you've completed between the start and finish will count, even if you're posting late :)
