It’s time for the June ReadAThon Guide!! This is all the ReadAThons I could find for June, if you know of any others please let me know. I divide each ReadAThon guide up into time frames.
Mini Persephone ReadAThon
This is a 3 day ReadAThon that is about reading Persephone Books. Don’t know what a Persephone book is, don’t worry neither did I. Here is info copy and pasted from the announcement post.
*What are Persephone Books you may ask? Persephone Books are a London based independent publisher and bookseller, who specialize in neglected books by (mostly) women writers from (mainly) the mid-twentieth century.
The ReadAThon goes from midnight on the 1st till 11:59 pm on the 3rd of June.
You can find a list of Persephone books HERE! Some of these books are also published by other publishers, so you don’t have to only read the Persephone version. The host of the ReadAThon has also provided a post that consists of a list of Persephone books that are available on eBook as well as some links to free downloads. You can find that HERE! Also HERE is a link to Persephone books if you want more info on the publishing company.
You can find extra info HERE. This rounds announcement & Sign Up HERE!
#AYEARATHON
This ReadAThon occurs every month and each month there is a different focus on what to read.

#FinishAThon
This ReadAThon is a week long and the purpose of this ReadAThon is to help you complete your own goals! So for example, if your yearly goal is to read classics, you will read classics during this ReadAThon. Or if your yearly goal is a specific list of books, you read those books. It’s pretty self-explanatory.
The ReadAThon goes from midnight on the 24th till 11:59 pm on the 30th of June.
You can find the ReadAthon Twitter HERE!
The Quarterly OopsAThon
This ReadAThon is actually really unique. The idea of this ReadAThon is to read books that you previously had on TBRs for other ReadAthons but you didn’t get to. That basically explains it all! Just look at previous ReadAThon TBRs and if you still haven’t read any of the books on that TBR then read it!
The ReadAThon goes from midnight on the 24th till 11:59 pm on the 30th of June. This is the same week as #FinishAThon.
You can find the announcement post HERE!
Series Crackdown 4.0
This one actually crosses over from May into June. Series Crackdown doesn’t have any reading challenges but the goal is to try and finish those series that you have started but still haven’t finished (or at least catch up on series that aren’t fully released).
The ReadAThon goes from midnight on the 25th of May till 11:59 pm on the 3rd of June.
You can find the ReadAThon Twitter page HERE!
Once Upon A ReadAThon
This one is a week-long ReadAThon that happens twice a year! This ReadAthon is all about reading retellings. Each round will have a different ‘fairytale’ that you need to read retellings of. This round will be Cinderella retellings.
The ReadAThon goes from midnight on the 18th till 11:59 pm on the 24th of June.

Sci-Fi Summer #ReadAThon /Sci-F- June
I don’t actually know what it is called specifically, but either way, this ReadAThon is a 2 week long ReadAThon. This goal of this ReadAThon is to read Sci-Fi books! This can include Sci-Fi/Fantasy combos.
The ReadAThon goes from 12:00am CDT on the 1st till 11:59 pm CDT on the 14th of June. This ReadAthon starts at the same time for everyone rather than at midnight in your time zone. So make sure to transfer midnight CDT to your time zone to find out when you need to start.
Make sure you post a TBR on either Blog, YouTube, Facebook, Goodreads or Twitter and link back to the blog post announcement that is linked below! Also, use the hashtag #SciFiJune.

Empty Shelfie
Empty Shelfie happens every month and each month has a different theme. The aim of Empty Shelfie is to lessen your ever growing TBR piles. The ReadAThon has challenges, but to fulfil the challenges you can only use books you owned before each months announcement with the exception of the monthly group read. You only have to choose 1 challenge but you can choose all 5 if you wish. It will all depend on whether you already own books to fit the challenge.
Reading Challenges:
1. Read a book with a tent on the cover
2. Read a book with a haunted location or ghost
3. Read a book with a starry night on the cover
4. Read a book where the characters are lost on a trail (Appalachian Trail is prefered)
