@@Yzabell0M Yeah, it hadn't been at the time I posted this comment, but it is now... Never mind, it frees me up to read whatever I want for Battleathon! :)
@@Troy-ys4dn there are two links listed! If neither work it is likely a discord glitch. You’ll need to clear your browser history or try on a different browser! This seems to be working for most people.
Why am I so late in watching this?! I started to watch during premiere but had to leave the house just as it started. But why? WHY did I take so long??? I’m so excited to compete (and win) again! Wooooooo
Just signed up for Team Thorns. This is my first time joining a Readathon. So excited to participate!! Have a few books in TBR with nature in the title so good opportunity to shorten the list.
let's go babyyyy, I am so ready for another round!! also, I had forgotten that this is star rating based and my heart just made another leap of excitement when you reminded us of that, I LOVE how accessible and free-flowing this readathon is 💖
Me planning to give myself a few days after back to back hard core competitive readathons to come watch this and pick a team ect..... Then I remembered merch and I needed to watch and order now. 😂
So excited! I've taken the last couple months off team readathons but this is perfect timing to jump back in! I did have an issue joining the discord, not sure if that's just a me-thing
Ahhh welcome! Strange. I'll upload a new link to the description. A few people have mentioned it. If that doesn't work, try clearing your browser and try again. Discord glitches sometimes.
Hello random youtube suggestion. Not sure if I will join or which house (between Thorns and Stars). I love this concept, but the month might be a little tough to join. I guess I have a week to decide. Edit: Also, are you on a team or are you the King in this scenario? Sold on thorns just for that bookmark omg
Happy to have you! It’s just for fun, so feel free to join even if you don’t think you’ll read a ton, we welcome everyone! And ahhh thank you! I’m so glad you like the bookmark. I will not be on a team but each of my books will randomly go toward a different team each time
Even though I am doing a readathon for my birthday month, I will still be doing yours as well. This will be another birthday present for me. Can't wait for the video❤❤❤❤
this is my first battle, I'm excited and .. nervous. if there are two bonus words in the title do we get extra extra bonus points? if one cannot participate in any of the discord events, will that be a bad thing?
I'm so glad to have you! It doesn't matter how many bonus words you have, it will only be 10 points per book. You do not have to participate in the discord! It's just there if you want it. The submission form will be added to the description of this video on August 1st. As long as you submit there, you're good to go!
@@MelLenoreReads oh thank goodness, and is this where we list the books we've read? I just don't want to be the idiot that causes their team to not win.
I want to sign up but I’m also starting a Readathon on my channel for August so I can’t decide if I should join or not. But this sounds so fun too. I don’t know what to do. Should I go for it? Mine is using a bingo board so maybe I can do mine and yours? Advice? lol I’m so stuck.
@@MelLenoreReads I’m thinking about it! Battleathon was so fun last year and I would love to be on Cassidy and Bri’s team this year. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and sign up lol.
What the hay is a readathon? 🤷♂️...I thought the chapter "how it works" would be/give a FULL explanation of EVERYTHING for the uninitiated...but alas, no, just a bracket explanation...but NOTHING about what it actually is!🤔🤦♂️.....I'm guessing it's to do with reading lol, and possibly the amount of books you read, in the month....but couldnt someone just SAY they read a book when they havent?🤷♂️....but I'm getting no info from this at all man! So can someone, ANYONE, give me a full heads up explanation of what a readathon entails please? 🤷♂️🤦♂️🫣🫤
A readathon is where you read as much as you can in the month. Someone could say they read and haven't but this is just for fun and to encourage people to read. It will not be policed. If you watch the video in its entirety, you will find a full explanation about how the brackets work and how you will get points. There is a document for this as well.
You got the gist! You are reading books and logging them by inputting info into a Google form. Usually these are based on the honour system, so just be honest if you've read something or not, because yes you can pretend, but where is the fun in that?

@@MelLenoreReads Thanks so much! I think it may have been on my end but either way i was able to join!
Question on the House of Wings prompt: Will throne or crown count or is it strictly titles (King, Queen, Prince, etc.)?
If you join the discord, there is tons of discussion on what counts! But I would be good with throne, crown, court, etc counting as well!
Woohoo! Signed up and got the merch 🎉 I'm so ready for August
Ahhhh Yay!!

I'm so excited!! Did I spend a loooot of money on the merch? Yes! Am I excited and happy to suppert Mel? ABSOLUTELY!
Aw thank you!!!
This is one of my favorite readathon. So happy it's happening again. ^_^
Ahhh yay!

Yep just resign up and let me know what team you switched from in the reason
Even though I am doing a readathon for my birthday month, I will still be doing yours as well. This will be another birthday present for me. Can't wait for the video❤❤❤❤
Happy early birthday!

Yay! House of Wings!
LEt's go wings!
I’m so excited for this! I love the theme and the bookmarks are stunning!!!
Thank you so much!
Signed up for team wings! Having trouble joining the discord though, is the link not working?
It should be! Sometimes discord can glitch. I'd recommend clearing your browser and try again. If that doesn't work, please let me know!
So excited for this! Thank you for putting this together Mel!
So glad you like it!
I've been looking forward to the next round
Team Wings for the win
Go wings!
Excited to join!!
Yay! Happy to have you!
Pledged to team Thorns 🌹🥀

Sounds awesome, Mel 😁
Thank you!!

Battle is pretty low key. You can read anything! Everything counts since it's based on star rating. I'd love to have you if you decide to join!
