Hi, lovelies! It's time for another one of our week-long readathons, and this one goes from Sunday, May 7th to Saturday, May 13th!

I'm in an especially nature-loving mood with the lovely weather we've been having, so our optional prompts are:
🌳 read a book with an animal (in the story or on the cover)
🌳 read something outside (or at least a few chapters!)

Post your TBR and progress updates whenever you're ready, here or in the Discord server (or both)!

If you would like an invite to the Discord server, please message me here on Goodreads or comment below and I'll DM you an invite link!
