I know I am not the only one that is ready for another readathon. I also know I am not the only one that loves dragons and is a self-proclaimed bookwyrm. I figured I’d lump these two things into one for some fun. Please join me in some fun summer fun an participate in the Bookwyrm Readathon running from Monday, June 18th through Sunday June 24th.
The Bookwyrm Readathon includes daily prompts to encourage community interaction. The Daily Prompts include two questions (mostly) to allow more freedom in case a single question does not inspire participants. Participants can respond to as much or as little as they wish for each Daily Prompt. Participants are also encouraged to respond to the Daily Prompts in whatever format they are most comfortable with.
The Dragon’s Challenges are for those that like an extra challenge added to their readathon experience. Go ahead and challenge yourself to strike off as many challenges as you can over the course of the Bookwyrm Readathon.
D A I L Y   P R O M P T S
Day Zero: To-Be-Read | Before the readathon starts, share what you are hoping to read. Don’t be afraid to be adventurous - you’re a dragon now.
Day One: Dragon’s Fangs | What is a book you devoured in one sitting? Oh, you’re not one to gorge yourself? What is an overused trope that makes your bare your fangs in anger?
Day Two: Dragon’s Claws | Sharpen those claws and get ready for a fight. Share an unpopular opinion. Or talk about a book or series that you didn’t like that everyone else does.
Day Three: Dragon’s Wisdom | Some dragons are known for being bloodthirsty and terrifying. Other dragons are known for the wisdom they have to share. Share a book, author, or booklr recommendation.
Day Four: Dragon’s Scales | Scales are a dragon’s natural defense, what ship(s) would you defend to your last breath? Not into shipping characters? What is a book theme that defends and builds that you strongly support? (Examples could include gun violence with The Hate U Give or LGBTQ+ stories such as Let’s Talk About Love)
Day Five: Dragon’s Wings | Take flight into the heights of imagination and share a book that took you to a fantastical world. Or share a book that has inspired you to reach for your dreams.
Day Six: Dragon’s Hoard | All dragons hoard things though many hoard vastly different things. What is the genre that makes up the majority of your personal library and that you would call your favorite? Or share some of your favorite bookish items such as a bookmark collection, bookish Funko Pops, fanart prints, or other paraphernalia from your favorite books and series that you have collected.
Day Seven: Dragon’s Magic | Ah yes, the magic of a lazy Sunday. That’s right, time for Tomes and Tea! Share a picture of your current read and reading treat. Not one for book photography? Take a moment to share a favorite quote, gush about a favorite character or scene, or rant about your least favorite read.
Day Eight: Wrap-Up | The mundane has returned and our fun is over. Wrap-up your whirlwind reading week with what you were able complete and your general opinion on what you read.
