Welcome back! We had so much fun last year during our inaugural summer of wiping out our TBRs, that I thought we had better do it all over again! I am going to keep the same format as last year, as it was quite simple and straight forward. No need to stress ourselves out over the summer months, right?
To make the Summer TBR Wipeout simple and inclusive to everyone, I am opening this up to anyone who wants to participate. You do not have to run a book blog or a website for that matter. All that I ask is that you create your posts on some sort of social media website, such as Instagram, Facebook or Tumblr, etc. You can also read backlist books, ARCs, new releases, audiobooks, or anything else that has been beckoning you to read it. There will be 4 posts in total that you can link up to here on The Candid Cover.
GIVEAWAY:
To sweeten the deal, I will also be giving away a book of choice worth up to $20 CAD. As always, the giveaway is open internationally as long as The Book Depository or Amazon ships to you!
SCHEDULE:
May 25- July 7: Sign-ups open!
Week of July 1: Introductory post- What books are you planning to read this summer?
Week of July 15: Update post #1- Tell us how your reading has been going so far. What books have you read? Were they enjoyable? What’s next on your TBR? Etc.
Week of July 29: Update post #2
Week of August 13: Wrap-up post- How did your summer reading go? Did you wipeout some books from your summer TBR?
SIGN-UPS
Don’t forget to check back during the event to link up your posts and earn more points for the giveaway! I am looking forward to this summer reading challenge and I can’t wait to find out what books you are reading this year.
I’m in. There’s no way I can actually wipe out my tbr but hopefully I can make a small dent 😀
Yay!! I am so glad that you can join us! Don’t forget to add your link and enter the giveaway. 😉
Yay! Been waiting for this! I am in!
I am so happy that you are signing up again this year! I look forward to reading your updates. 🙂
Signed up! I wanted to redesign the button for my blog, so I wanted to add that button only for my image in the link up. That is why took so long lol.
I’m so glad you are doing this again!!!
Thank you!!!
I really enjoyed this last year and I hope that you can join in again this year. 🙂
First year joining, and I’m so excited to start. My summer TBR is already overflowing. I know I can’t get all of it done but I’m going to aim for at least 20.
Thanks again 🙂
I hope that you reach your goal! I can’t wait to get started on my TBR, too. Thanks for joining. 🙂
Thanks for the push I need to read more on my TBR this summer!
I am so happy to have you participate! 🙂
I’m a little confused by the schedule in terms of when to read the books. Is it just the month of July?
I love this idea! Definitely need to get back on track with my TBR 😛
Sign-ups close on July 7th and the challenge ends the week of August 13th.
Ok, that’s what I thought but I just wanted to make sure! Thanks!
This sounds so fun! Looking forward to joining in!
Yay!! I am happy to have you join us! 🙂
Oh this sounds like fun! I should have my sign up post up on the 1st!
That’s fantastic! I am so glad that you are participating. 🙂
Thank you for hosting this! So excited for my first summer TBR wipeout 😀
I can’t wait to find out what is on your TBR for the summer! 🙂
Oh, what a perfect challenge for me! I’m definitely interested in taking part and should have my intro post up tomorrow.
Yay!! I am so happy that you will be participating!! 🙂
Thanks! Just did my intro post and linked up this morning 🙂
I at least want to read like 15 to 20 books in 2 months.. Hope we all achieve our goals this summer!
Good luck! I am hoping to do the same! 🙂
Hi! I just found out about this readathon yesterday and unfortunately the sign ups have been closed. Is there any chance I can add my blog to the linky? I would love to participate 🙂 Please let me know. Thank you!
Yes! We would love for you to join! Just add your post to the intro linky and that should be fine. 🙂
I missed the official sign up for the challenge, but I would still love to participate. I want to read at least 6 books for the challenge. I just posted my TBR.
That is wonderful! Thanks for joining! 🙂
I was hoping to read at 20-25 books—and I’m pleased that I’ve been able to complete reading and reviewing at least 15! Whew! Off my (ever-growing) TBR pile! Thanks for hosting the challenge and a giveaway. Good luck with your reading!
