Hosted by Wishful Endings, last year's TBR Read-a-thon had over 90 participants!

READ-A-THON INFORMATION

The Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon begins Monday, September 8th and ends Saturday, September 20th. You do not have to be a blogger to sign up. Just use your Goodreads, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or Tumblr instead (the place you're going to post updates on). You just need to be able to leave a link. For signing up, you should create a sign-up post and use that as your link (the URL feild) you'll use in the linky below.

Please sign up by using the linky at the end of the host post. You MUST be signed up in the linky to enter any related giveaways and participate in the challenges. You are required to post a sign-up post(with or without goals, we will be posting goals too, but that isn't required as a separate post) and a wrap-up post (at the end of the read-a-thon) to be eligible for the giveaway. Everything else and how you participate is up to you.

You can sign up through September 17th.

You're welcome to participate as much or as little as you'd like. The read-a-thon is to encourage us all to read so that we can tackle those tbr piles, not to cause extra stress. ;) You will see requests for updates, but there are no requirements that you leave an update every day. Daily updates are great, though, to help us all stay motivated and cheer each other on. If you do want to post a daily update, here is a simple template (omit or add things as you like):

We will be using hashtag #TackleTBR on Twitter for updates and tweets. Include the host in your tweets too @TresSherm. This is also a great way to find others participating and give some encouragement.

There will be a giveaway hosted by Wishful Endings for all read-a-thon participants. The details haven't been completely decided on what all will be on there. A little mystery is always good, right? :) You should know that it will at least include a $15 Amazon gift card.

  3. I hope that you enjoy Messenger of Fear & Blackbird more than I did. I wasn't impressed with either of them. :(

    Here's my Sign up Post.
