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.
Votes have been tallied – here are the results!
The read-a-thon is starting TOMORROW and I cut off voting a few days ago, so I could prepare myself (and this post, lol). Here are the books I’ll be reading in rank order. As the rules suggest, you read the books in order of most votes; the book with the highest number gets read first, and so on. Since the read-a-thon goes for a week, I decided to show the top 8 books that got voted for. By no means do I think I’ll read 8 books in 7 days, but there are a few books that tied in votes… It’s nice to have some flexibility on their order! Realistically I’ll probably get to maybe 4 books?

Good luck and happy reading!! Fangirl is awesome and I think will be a great start to your read-a-thon. 😀
Thanks!! I’m excited 🙂
Enjoy Fangirl! Happy reading all week. I wish I could devote a whole week to reading. So jealous. I am going on a business trip this week which will mean extra time on the plane and at the hotel to read. I’m looking forward to that b
That’ll be awesome for you! I won’t be spending too much extra time reading; it’s just nice to have other people “force” me to read books I’ve been meaning to read!
You’re going to be reading some great books this week! Fangirl is one of my faves, so I can’t wait to see your thoughts on it. 🙂 I’m also going to be reading Rebel Belle for the readathon, so I hope we both enjoy it. 🙂
