Happy August everyone! We’re kicking off this month with a readathon – the MS Readathon!
Given my track record, you’d be forgiven for thinking that I’m daft for trying to do another readathon but this one is a little different.
It’s a fundraiser and it’s not structured at all – I can read whatever I want and there’s no prompts!

This one runs all year and it’s the perfect opportunity to clear out my TBR shelves – anything published up to last year counts, as well as re-reads! The good thing is I can go back and add the books I read earlier this year, and they can still count towards my total.
