Hey y'all what's up my name is Avery and today I have a very exciting announcement video. So it is Rita Thon. Brie from in love and words asked me and three other lovely ladies here in the book community to help her put on the Kindle Clear Out Rita Thon. So the hosts for this Rita Thon are me. There's obviously Brie from in love and words. There is Steph from Steph's roommates book talk and then we also have two books to grammar hosts who will keep up to date and post on Instagram and that is Zay from Whitty Reads and Brie from Falling for Romance. I love all these ladies like all of them are my very close friends and I was so excited when Brie came up with this idea. I'm just so excited for it. So basically here are the guidelines. So the main one is you are only allowed to read books that are already on your Kindle your eReader platform your audible library your Libro FM library. The main goal for this Rita Thon is to read all those books that you have piled up on that eReader of yours or that Kindle app or audiobook library that you just haven't gotten to yet for whatever reason. I can totally attest to this. I film an eBook every single month and I haul over 30 books each month. I'm not ready even close to all of them not at all. So this Rita Thon will definitely help you clear out some space on your eReader or Kindle. Another rule is that you can read this book in a physical format if you already own it in eReader form or in audio form. We're trying to again get rid of or finally read those books that we have on our Kindle. This includes all of your previous purchases that you have done. So you cannot download new books on Kindle Unlimited during this readathon. So for example if you read a first book in a series through Kindle Unlimited in this readathon you can't go immediately and go download the next one. You have to only read books that you already have on your Kindle. Which again, well if you get rid of the books you already own and if you keep downloading them then you're not going to get rid of the ones that you already own. If I didn't say this already this is a whole week where we only read or listen to eBooks. Only eBooks, no physical books unless you own an eFormat also of that book. You can also read it physically. For example if I already owned an eCopy of Salt to the Sea I could read it in physical format if that makes sense. And whenever you talk about us or post about the readathon be sure to use the hashtag KindleClearOut so we can go and give you some love and everyone can connect I guess through this readathon. We are studying this readathon on Monday September the 28th and we are ending on October the 4th which is a Sunday. So a whole week to read all the eBooks to your heart's content. We are going to be also having a live show for this readathon to wrap it all up and that will be on October 4th that Sunday at 8pm EDT on Breeze Channel and Levin Words Channel. There is also a bingo board here. There are 12 prompts and you can figure out bingo in whatever way you want. I know it doesn't necessarily look like a typical bingo board where there are nine squares but you can get bingo from going this way, three squares or this way four squares or diagonal anyway. It doesn't really matter. Interpret it the way you want. We're not trying to police you in any way. So here are the prompts for the bingo board. We have read and eArc. We have vlog your reading experience whether that be on your Instagram story. It could be a YouTube video, whatever you want. Another square is post a TBR video and then another one is post a wrap up video and prompt number five is read a book by a person of color. Prompt number six is disability wrap that includes chronic illness. Bree and I both have a chronic illness so that's a huge reason why Bree put this as prompt in here. It's very near and dear to her heart set disability wrap. I know that disability wrap is very hard to come by in romance or you don't necessarily know which books have disability wrapping them. I actually have a whole video where I'm recommending them to you. I will link it down below in case you don't know of anything. Another square is to attend the live show at the end of the week. Another prompt is to follow and subscribe to all the hosts. All of them will be linked down below for you. The next prompt is to read the eBook that has been on your Kindle the longest which is going to be a very challenging prompt for me because I don't think it's very interested in the one since the longest type owned. I don't even remember what it is. We'll see what that one is for me. Then we have the newest book that you've downloaded onto your Kindle. The next prompt is to read the shortest book on your Kindle which I feel like would be a very fun prompt to do because I bet a bunch of us have little novellas on our e-reader that we haven't read yet. That'll be a lot of fun to read. And the last prompt is to write a book review for one of the books that you read this week. Preferably the one out of the bunch that has the least amount of ratings. So more people can get in touch with that book and learn more about it. That could be on Amazon, Instagram, Goodreads, any review platform. So if you get bingo or if you get blackout in this free to thon, you will be entered to win a prize. Whenever you get bingo or you get blackout, be sure to use the hashtag Kindle Clear Out so you can be entered to win and you will be entered to win one of four prizes. The winner will be announced on Monday, October 12th. There's a little bit of catch though. The Etsy shop has to be able to be shipped to you location-wise for it to work for you. So we have the four prizes that you can win. I'm linking all of the people who we are getting prizes from because we're getting them all from book people's Etsy shops. So first one is a pen from Dezzi's Etsy shop. And then number two is a book sleeve from Jess's bookshop. Peace love books Jess. She is another option. Number three is a sticker sheet from Breeze Etsy shop, our own host. And the fourth option is an eight ounce candle from India's Etsy shop. Who's also a booktuber here on Booktube. I'm linking everybody down below. I love all of them. I religiously watch all of their channels and I love all of their Etsy shops. I'm very excited for this readathon. I hope that you all joined all of us. It's going to be so so so much fun. We even have some graphics and those graphics will be posted on my story and will be posted as a permanent story on my Instagram page for you to go look at and screenshot and use to your own hearts content. Thank you all so so much for watching. Please please please be sure to join us for this readathon. I'm very excited for it. Also check out all of the other hosts down below who are also making their announcement videos. But anyways thank you all so much for watching. I will see you all soon in my next one. Bye!
