Yay!! Love this idea. No BOTM in Australia but that's not stopping me! I'm using my "all the books on my shelf TBR". Aussies love a good BBQ so bring on the Ketchupathon Cookout!!!

New to this whole Rathon thing. I’m an avid reader and just recently started a reading journal. Found Rita‘s to be something interesting to add to my reading journal and to get stuff off my TBR. Not a member of a book of the month, but it’s not gonna stop me from trying to play along. Thank you for sharing this and all the fun prompts. Happy reading y’all ❤
Just discovered this readathon. What fun. I always love how you guys come up with the descriptions for these challenges! So much fun! I don't do BOTM but I'm going to try to read down my kindle unlimited lists.
This sounds like so much fun! I am going to use my BOTM and Aardvark books for my cookout! I was planning on catching up with these in August anyway. Perfect timing!
Such a fun idea! I don’t have any BOTM but will try to put together from my owned books that are crowding my shelves. Your hair looks great! Welcome back! Missed seeing you.
Woohoo! I so need this! I constantly look at my Book of the Month bookshelf, telling myself "one day I'm going to read you all" , haha! So this is perfect timing! Thank you!
This is such a fun idea , i am definitely participating. I don’t have BOTM however I think I am going to pick from my Summer books on my tbr. Glad you are continuing this readathon.
Hey, Krista! 😊 The prompts for this readathon are fun and creative. I might participate if I can get my act together. 😂 I won’t be reading BOTM. Maybe, I can pick from my 24 Books for 2024 List.
I looked at the list, and it turns out I have dozens of BotM books. :-) Just from other sources. Some of them are even BotM branded because apparently a local member likes donating their copies to the Friends of the Library kiosk.
I'm going to participate this year for some added fun in August. A lot of the prompts go perfectly with my favorite books to read - cozy mysteries. I know I can get backyard, friends, family and neighbors (usually all of these types of characters are in cozy mysteries), shish kabob, fruit salad, and dessert no matter what I pick. That sounds like a wonderful cookout to me! 🍒🍍🍓🍐🍉 🍧🍰☕
Unfortunately no BOTM here but I have got a backlog from the subscription service "A Box of Stories" so I think I'll use those books. Looking forward to this!
Yay!! I was wondering when this announcement was coming! I did the round from last year and I read 5 of my botm picks! So hoping to either read the same amount or more. We’ll see??!! 🫶😃

Great way to choose your books. Hope you find some fun KU books to read!
Yay, Ketchupathon! I’m still deciding on whether I’ll plan a TBR or read and then build my cookout! Will let you know! 🤗
I'll probably do a little mixture. We'll see. I have options for days! haha
🎉 super excited. 2024 has been my year of reading my BOTM books so this will just be the extra oomph I need to keep on track!
Love that! Good luck!
Fun!!
This sounds like fun! I don't do BOTM so I may just see how my reading fits the prompts. And I just have to say I love your new haircut!
That's totally allowed. And thanks! I am liking it too.
Always excited for this!❤

Sweet! Glad you like it.

Will be participating but using my HUGE TBR. I have some buddy reads and see how it fits. Thank to both you and Amy doing this again.
Love it. Knock out those books!
I think I'm gonna do this with my netgalley books!!!! 😁
Woohoo! Can't wait! So excited! And since I've somehow managed to get reading back in my schedule I'm double psyched for it!
Yay Ketchupathon!! Looking forward to this and hopefully narrowing down my TBR lol! 💜
I can't wait for this readathon:)
So fun!!
Hey, Krista! 😊 The prompts for this readathon are fun and creative. I might participate if I can get my act together. 😂 I won’t be reading BOTM. Maybe, I can pick from my 24 Books for 2024 List.
Thanks, Kat! We love coming up with it every year.
Love this!!!❤️📚
I don’t subscribe to BOTM but I’m thinking about using the prompts for my owned books.
I’m always looking for ways to prioritize my BOTM books.
Same!
Sounds like fun! I don't subscribe to BotMC but I do have a 55 by 55 list I've started on. This should give me a little boost for that.
I looked at the list, and it turns out I have dozens of BotM books. :-) Just from other sources. Some of them are even BotM branded because apparently a local member likes donating their copies to the Friends of the Library kiosk.
I don’t do BotM, but I am going to try to get through some of the insane amount of books I put on my want to read list in 2020.
That works. Good luck!

I don't do the BOTM but i can definitely use my TBR for this!
Love it! Feel free to use whatever you want from your tbr! I can't wait!
I'm excited about this but now I'm hungry......wonder if my husband wants to light up the grill ?!😂
Haha. Love it.
Unfortunately no BOTM here but I have got a backlog from the subscription service "A Box of Stories" so I think I'll use those books. Looking forward to this!
I don’t have BOTM books, but it sounds fun! A great opportunity to read down the hoard of unread books in my house. 😅
You can use any that you want! Go for it.
I cancelled my BOTM membership years ago and I still have books from them I havent read lol.
haha. This will be me someday. I have so many!
Hey Krista! For some reason the Google doc says I need access to see it.
I think I changed it. The link should be good now. Please let me know if you still can't get it.
@@BooksAndJams I got it now, thank you!
I don’t have Book of the Month.
No worries. You can read whatever you want.
Yay!! I was wondering when this announcement was coming! I did the round from last year and I read 5 of my botm picks! So hoping to either read the same amount or more. We’ll see??!! 🫶😃
Here it is! I read a bunch last year too. Am very hopeful for this year.
@@BooksAndJams Me too!!!(:
