I love how you have this broken down! I'm going to use it too and adjust it for hours listened instead of pages read since most of my books are Audiobooks. I'm interested to see how many hours I listen each day! You are off to a great start!

June Read-a-thon!
June is Pride Month in the US and many other countries, so we are celebrating Pride with a Read the Rainbow style read-a-thon. This will start on June 16th at midnight (in your timezone) and end on June 30th at midnight (in your timezone).
For this read-a-thon, we will have prompts related to some of the flags that represent this community. In total, there are thirty-two flags on this, and each flag will have two tasks.
The goal is to finish as many of the prompts below as possible! Each prompt is repeatable. Any book that you finish between June 16th-30th is eligible to count, including graphic novels and comics. Please only post books once they have been FINISHED.
What you need to do in order to participate:
Step 1 - Sign up on this thread!
Step 2 - Post your progress each day!
Step 3 - Have fun and read lots of good books!
Anyone is welcome to join, and happy pride!
How to post:
Every time you finish a book, make a completion post like this:
