#MakeMeRead tag on Twitter/Instagram
Check out the intro pages (Val’s or Ely’s) and the rules below:
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 etc. to vote on which books you HAVE to read.
When the read-a-thon 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.
Now help me choose the books!
I have quite a few books I’ve been saying that I NEED to read – primarily the three library books sitting in my living room – and just never get around to it. I have soooo many of them. During this time period I’ll be also reading my Book Buddies pick for the month (The Treatment by Suzanne Young), so I’m not going to have you vote on that. Just know that it’ll be happening 😉
Most of the books here, aside from the library ones, are books that I just had to run out and buy and still haven’t read… or ones that are highly regarded by everyone else but I haven’t gotten to yet!

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell is my favorite of her books. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and a twin, so this book resonates big time with me. I really need to read it a third time. It’s so good!
So far its high up in votes! Woo!
This is such a fun idea! Best of luck with all your reading! 🙂
Thank you! 😀
Ah! Fangirl & Simon are two of my top favorites for this year so far. So they definitely got my votes. 🙂
Jen @ EbonyInkReviews
yay!!
Out of these, I’ve only read Fangirl (liked it) and Rebel Belle (hated it). I voted for a few picks that I want to read though. 🙂
Haha yay thank you!
I picked I’ll Meet You There because it is an amazing book. Love it!
I’ve heard that from everyone! Looks like I’ll be reading it 🙂
YAYY FANGIRL. I’m glad that’s at the top at the moment!
Thanks so much for joining the readathon Lauren! 😀 😀 😀
Thank you for hosting!!
Hey! I voted Fangirl. This book is so awesome. You’re gonna love it!
Good luck! 🙂
You can also vote for me on my blog 🙂
Thank you! Will do!
This is such a fun idea for a read-a-thon! I’m sorely tempted to sign up to participate, though I’m not quite sure I can just yet (in terms of time & location constraints during that particular week). I placed my vote, and hopefully at least one of my choices makes the cut!
Yes! It looks like a lot of fun. I have sooo many books I want to read and just never get around to. Thanks for voting!
This seems like such a cool read-a-thon. I really need something like this. I have a number of books that I need to read. I’m gonna do it! My number one pick of the ones you have listed it Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda. I loved it.
Yay! Glad you’ll be joining 🙂 Yes, that’s officially one of the books I’ll be reading!!
I have embarrassingly not read any of these! Hope you enjoy the books you end up reading, and good luck with the readathon!
