And the madness begins…
Welcome to our very first Digital First Read-a-Thon. We’re super excited to be hosting this awesome event with some amazing book bloggers. It’s going to be a pretty crazy month filled with guest authors, guest blogs, giveaways and loads of digital first reviews going up. We hope that you’ll join the fun right along with us.
All you have to do to participate in this month’s read-a-thon is read as many books that were released digitally first as you can. To enter in the many giveaways we’ll be hosting throughout the month, all you have to do is comment and participate in the discussions posted at each blog. There will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to win something so really, join the fun. The more the merrier.
In an attempt to organize the chaos that will be here at Book Binge, Tracy’s Place, RR@H and Novel Thoughts and The Book Reading Gals, we’re going to post a guest author calendar of events for each week, on Monday.

Please remember, we’re hosting this month long read-a-thon to bring attention to the awesome books that you might be missing because you keep passing them up for those print books. There are tons of fabulous authors publishing digital books and you might be missing out. Stick around and find some new to you authors, you just might find a new favorite.
Also, your favorite authors might be publishing digital books as well so really, going digital isn’t such a bad thing. We promise!
Happy Reading!

This sounds like fun. I started reading digital-only books back in 2003 from publishers that are still digital-only or digital-only mostly. 😀

Yay 🙂 I just finished one yesterday and have already started another
This sounds great. One of the things that I love the most about my ereader is the author’s that I’ve found out about that are not out in print. There are some very talented authors out there.

I just signed up and discovered retroactively that almost every book I’ve read this month was a digital first, without my even trying… but now I’ll really put my back into it! 😉
