I'm in! :) This is going to be very challenging, but interesting!
Doh! I just realized that 8 of the books I had planned are not considered YA, lol! I suppose I should have guessed due to some of the content, but ah well! So back to the drawing board, lol. I think I might try Maggie S's Raven Cycle books. And Rainbow Rowell's Simon series.
Happy June! Where shall we post our read books?

Oooh those are good ones to start with!

A topic just got posted it's under Books Finished :)

No worries :)
I think I will start with Jay's Gay Agenda, since I just got it from my library. Then I'll do the June BOTM, since that book also just came in from my library. I'll be listening to Jay's and reading (digital) the June BOTM. Then I'll tackle one of the two series I listed above. Probably Maggie's Raven Cycle since the other two I'm beginning with are Contemporary.

Ooooh nice! I got that book earlier this year so I think it's finally time for me to read it. I'm reading Defy the Night right now and I'm around two thirds in and I'm already ready to claim it as my favourite book of 2022 (it's just that good!).
There's still a lot of time left in 2022, but I loved Defy the Night, so I'm so glad you recommended it to me!
Mod
Aww no worries. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

For the month of June we will be hosting the YA LGBTQ+ readathon during Pride Month. This challenge will run from the 1st of June to the 30th of June. The aim is to read as many books as you possibly can and you get bonus points if you complete the prompts listed below. There will be no teams nor prompt categories so the readathon will look a little different to the ones we've previously hosted.
The prompts are worth 2 points each and are only valid if they are YA and LGBTQ+ books. If you enter your book without a prompt then you can't get the bonus points for it (all other points will be counted though). This will also be the case if you enter the same prompt more than once.
(For those asking what we consider as YA and LGBTQ+, we are determining it by if the book is categorised in the genre on Goodreads. You can double check on the right hand side of the book page when you search a book up).

The books for the readathon can be as long as you like. You earn more points anyway the longer the book is. We strongly encourage you to read YA books though since this is a YA book club. Only books finished in June will count. If you started the book in May but finished it in June that's completely valid too. You can earn points for the team through page points and other factors listed below:
