Good morning, fine people! It’s 6am by my watch and we’ve got a WHOLE ‘NOTHER DAY OF READING IN FRONT OF US! ISN’T IT EXCITING??
I’m super pumped (especially since Sunday is usually the day I actually get to read things). It’s a much more chill day, as readers either buckle down to try to hit 24 hours or realize they’ll probably fall short and decide to just read for the sake of reading. Whichever you are, just know that I’m super proud of you and there is no failure in spending the whole weekend reading. So keep going, turn those pages, and keep cheering each other on.
For this hour’s challenge, you’re going to help me with a little bit of activism. Take a picture of your very best rainbow book stack, and comment below with a link to your photo. For every photo, I will personally donate $1 to the Human Rights Campaign, in support of its mission of advocating for LGBTQ equality.
Just in case you need a reminder, a rainbow’s color order is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Here’s my rainbow book stack:
I’ll pick a winner for this challenge at Hour 36!
Three more prize winners:
Kayla Branson
Ann (@AnnieReads at Litsy)
Juliana Partin
Now show me your best rainbows!

Not the best as I had no books in the exact colours, but as good as it gets with my book shelfs.
