I first found out about this amazing Read-a-thon from Aimal from the amazing Bookshelves and Paperbacks. It sounds absolutely fun for so many reasons!
- I don’t have to pick what I have to read, YAY!
- Less responsibility
- Interaction from YOU! You can have a say in what is reviewed next 🙂
How it Works
It is hosted by the lovely Ely @ Tea & Titles, and Val @ The Innocent Smiley. If you want to participate with us, here’s how it works:
Look at the books you own, either physical, e-book or ones you’ve borrowed from the library and pick out a few you really want to read, or feel like you should read. It’s up to you how many you pick, personally I’d pick a few more than you expect to be able to read in a week. Example: if you think you’ll only read two, pick out five books or if you think you can read seven, pick out ten.
Make a list of these books on your blog, or make a video, or a Goodreads shelf or post a picture on Instagram—whatever is easiest for you. Then get friends, other bloggers/booktubers/bookstagrammers etc. to vote on which books you HAVE to read.
When the readathon comes along, you read the books in the order of most votes. For example, if one book gets 10 votes—you read that first, then the one that got 7 and so on. If there’s a tie, then it’s your preference. The goal is to read as many as possible.
This Read-a-Thon is from August 6-13th and I am so pumped. For this challenge, I am picking some of my most exciting ARC copies I have! My goal is to read four books, so you’ll have 9 choices.

I decided to vote for Beasts made of the Night because I am super hyped for that book and still haven’t seen any reviews. I am sure it is going to be magical!
I love the idea of this readathon but I don’t have the time and also I don’t know if I could read books in a specific order.
I am secretly hoping that this wins 😉 I hope it’s great! I totally get it about time, it takes a long time to clear your schedule for this kind of thing!
Yay, I’m so glad you’re joining; I love this readathon! To be honest with you, I haven’t heard of any of these books, so I picked Beasts Made of the Night because the title is intriguing and the cover is pretty. Looks like you’ll have a great selection to read either way!
It is so beautiful and it looks so good! I’ll put Goodreads links in 🙂
Yay! Hahaha that sounds like a smart idea. 🙂
Thanks! yeah I decided to, so hopefully that helps 😀
I voted for “Beasts Made of the Night” I just saw it on the First Read program and it sounds so good. I am participating in the read-a-thon as well. It will be interesting to see what people choose for us to read!
Yes I’m so excited! I guaranteed my copy 😉
These are great books! You don’t make it easy to pick for you. 😉 I was actually on your blog the other day in search for your review of The Tiger’s Watch but couldn’t find it. Of course not, you haven’t read it. Ha ha ha. My memory fails me again. Yet, I voted for The Walking Land because that is what I’d like to read. Have fun with this challenge, Lili.
Haha you are PSYCHIC! I am going to post it later in August since I’m on the blog tour for it. I am glad, I was accepted for it like last week, super late, but better late than never right?
This is a great list. I haven’t read any of them but they all look super interesting. I’m excited to see the results.
