Dark Academia, Spooky or Cozy

Welcome to 2025 Reading Challenge’s FALL individual readathon! This month we are hosting a 3-day individual reading challenge. Which type of fall are you having?

General Information
🍁 September 26 to September 28, 2025
🍁 Begins and ends at midnight in your own time zone
🍁 5 prompts (including any book on your TBR)
🍁 Prompts may be repeated
🍁 Any book formats qualify (graphic novel, large print, audio, etc.)

Once the readathon goes live, we will post a tracking and discussion thread for participants to keep everyone updated on how their reading is going and discuss. We’d love to have you join us for all of the fun but none of this is required to participate! Simply begin your reading on the 26th and conclude on the 28th.

Have fun!

Hello to all of you!

I hope this gives everyone plenty of time to choose their books for the readathon.

A new thread will be posted for tracking and discussion, once the readathon begins.

I've never done individual readathon, and I'd like to try.

Notes for myself:
• going to use this for HRCYED: 1) 24-hour non-stop reading 2) any readathon
• might also just read books with the same titles if they suit the genre prompts, as I've wanted to challenge myself like this for a while

Yay! I'm excited for another readathon. I'm not sure how much reading I'll get done as the end of September is going to be a bit busy, but I'll going to try my best!

I have never done one of these and would like to give it a try!

I´ll try this! I´m not sure how many books I tend to play more video games in fall so I think it would be nice to spend a weekend full of reading.

Hi everyone! I'm excited to join but will be shifting my days slightly - I am on vacation starting the 28th so I plan to do a slower 'thon throughout that week vs the weekend (I have a long drive to get to my vacation destination, so won't be conducive to reading!)

I apologize for any confusion. Please see message 10 above for a link to post in the Daily Tracking thread for this Readathon. Discussion questions will be added later to message 2 of the Daily Tracking and Discussion thread. Feel free to answer them, if you wish, once they are added.

This thread has typically been used for questions about the readathon.

Glad you see you all here!

How fun! I’m excited to participate in the Readathon. Makes me wonder why I don’t give myself permission to take a few “only reading” days more often? I’m thrilled that the outline says we can use the same prompt more than once 😊 I think I’ll use this time to tackle my TBR list. Here’s to reading days!
