What is the Read-a-thon?
The Read-a-thon is a limited-time event where all reading activity on Minkly counts toward shared community goals and individual rewards. Whether you are binge-reading novels, listening to audio chapters, or leaving thoughtful feedback, you are part of something bigger.
This event is about reading together, supporting authors, and making engagement fun.
