I’ve been wanting SO badly to participate in a short readathon lately, and sadly things came up for the Summer Lovin’ and Once Upon a Readathon and I couldn’t participate. So, myself with the fabulous Reanna at Phantasmic Reads decided to start our own!
Ze Rules!
- The Beat the Heat Readathon runs from July 29th through August 11th. What does this readathon entail, you ask? Well, read as much or as little as you want – the main point is to READ! You set your own goal, and for two weeks you read as many books as you can/want to reach your goal!
- There will be mini-challenges throughout the Readathon for participants, along with a grand prize giveaway at the end!
- Sign up at Auntie Spinelli Reads or Phantasmic Reads. You may join whenever you like, but to be eligible for our grand prize giveaway, you must sign up by August 5th.
- To join, all you have to do is make a sign-up post – even if it’s just a “Let’s do this!” thing – and add your post URL to the linky below! You can put your goals and progress (will be required for the final giveaway) in your sign-up post, or you can make it separate. Totally up to you! Feel free to copy and paste this handy little list for your post. We don’t mind. :)
- In order to enter for the grand prize, you must have a post to keep track of your progress so we can see that you participated.
Feel free to grab a button!
Link up, loverlies!

Sounds like fun – can’t wait! Have signed up :) Thanks for hosting!
This sounds like such an amazing idea, and I actually do need to read really badly, but I’ve been in a mini reading slump ever since I got back from camp for no real reason >.< I've just been soooo lazy since I got back, and I've needed to do a cover for a while now, but I just can't bring myself around to making one because it's just one of those, "I don't care right now" days.
Now that my mini rant is over, good luck with your readathon <3333 I might end up joining if I need to finally get my butt to reading, and if I'm finally feeling like I can in a few days :D
Fantastic post, Jessi!
Stop being lazy and join us!!!! OR we could just make a Procrastinators Club, we’ll start initiations….tomorrow. Or next week maybe? ;D
Kinda awkward as it’s Winter here for me but I may participate! I have a piano exam right after this finishes so I’m a little iffy about it. I shall see!
Thanks for hosting anyways, Jessi! <33
Eek! I was just thinking a read-a-thon would be awesome right about now. I’m most definitely signing up and looking forward to it. *runs off to clear my schedule and figure out the books!*
Two of my favorite people hosting a readathon! I am so IN! I’ll be gone for two and a half of the days but everything else…I am so In! I need this!! :D WOOOT! I’m excited already.
So excited!
Great idea! Procrastinator winner #1 me will definitely be joining xD Have so much to read and this is definitely a brilliant idea! Great job Jess and Reanna! :D
Oooooooh, I love that it is a two-week one! Thanks for hosting!

I hope it was ok to sign up using goodreads? I should’ve asked first sorry.
Thanks for hosting, I’ve just signed up!
I’m really excited, it’s my first readathon :)
Oops, I think I accidentally signed up twice :/ sorry!

Totally signed up. This will be my first readathon (although, technically, the second I’ve signed up for – the other being ARC August, which starts a little later). Wish me luck!
WOOT!!! *glomps*

Such a great challenge! I’m joining yours at the same time I’ll be joining Octavia’s ARC August, so hopefully it will be motivation to get through a ton of my backed up ARCs. My post is going live on Monday so I’ll link up then. :) Thanks for hosting!
Awesome! I’m participating in hers as well, so the last week of ours overlaps hers…an added bonus! Good luck and thanks for joining :)

This looks like a fun readathon, thanks for hosting! Glad you are hosting a nice, long readathon because I have been bombing lately at the shorter ones! I really need to catch up on some required reading so hopefully I can get these books knocked out!

I’m kind of late joining in, but I would love to participate! I’m slowly reintegrating myself into the blogosphere after being gone for months, and what better way to do that than a readathon? My blog has been kind of wonky, though. I’ll be sure and add a link ASAP.
