Looking at my TBR, I realized how many independently-published books were hanging out there. And since that is just unacceptable, I decided to set aside a week in August to dedicate to reading those indie books that I'm sure I'm going to love, and I'd love for you all to join me!
So, it is my great pleasure to announce the Indie August Readathon 2019!
What exactly does this readathon entail, you ask? The goal is simple: read indie published books. It can be as many or as few as you want. My point in this is to have a no-stress, laid-back, only-as-challenging-as-you-want readathon. It will begin (in your time zone) at 12:00 AM on August 11 and run through 11:59 PM on August 18. That's 8 whole days to devour all the stories you want!
And, because I love an extra twist, there's also a photo challenge to go along with the readathon on Instagram!
There's no pressure to participate, but photo challenges are always fun, and I looove getting to see people's creativity with books!
^ me, @ all of bookstagram.
It's also an awesome opportunity to shout-out your favorite indie authors, if you want the added challenge of using only indie books in your photos! Be sure to use the hashtag #IndieAugust19 so we can build a little community to support each other as we read ALL the books!
I am SO excited for this (I've already started planning my TBR and everything) and like, I don't want to rush my life along or anything, but I'm ready for it to be August already. xD
Oh, and also, if you want to follow me on Instagram, you can do so right here! Shoot me a message that you came from here and I'll follow you back!
So, do you accept the challenge? Will you be joining me in this quest to read all the books? Let me know in a comment below!
