IFA Summer Reading Challenge


IFA Summer Reading Challenge 2019
June 21 to September 22

June 21, the first day of summer marks the first day of the Summer Reading Challenge in the Indie Fantasy Addicts Facebook group. Read ANY indie fantasy, and subgenre of fantasy (ARCs, audiobooks, and shorts included) and have a chance at winning some amazing prizes such as signed books, ebooks, audiobooks, and swag from some Amazon Bestselling and USA Today Bestselling authors! All readers have to do is post about their reads in the group and tag them with #IFASummerChallenge19.

Details about our current Summer Reading Challenge are listed at the bottom of this blog post. The goal? For members to discover more nail-biting, edge of your seat, take-you-for-a-wild-ride-and-leave-you-breathless books!

Here are some of the authors who graciously donated signed copies and ebooks to this challenge (many of them being USA Today and Amazon bestselling authors): ML Spencer, JT Williams, Mike Shelton, JA Andrews and tons more.


#IFASummerChallenge19 Details:

The purpose of this is just to have fun and discover more amazing indie fantasy authors! We are going to make this simple. There is no set reading list. ARCS and audiobooks also apply. Read whatever you want as long as it’s indie fantasy. If you're not sure if it's indie, just ask in the group and someone will let you know.

All you have to do is post what you're reading, tag it with #IFASummerChallenge19, and your thoughts on the book (without spoilers!) so the rest of us can discover more amazing adventures!

The Challenge will go from June 21 to September 22, 2019—the last day of summer! For the solo challenge (everyone is included in this regardless if you’re on a team or not), we will be doing a tiered winning system since not all readers read at the same rate. Eg. A tier for the winner for whoever reads the most indie fantasy books, and a few other tiers. eg. 20+, 16-20, 11-15, 5-9. 0-4.

Draws will be done to choose winners from the two lower tiers.

Grand Prize: Multiple signed books and swag
The other tiers will have chances to win a signed book, ebook, audiobook, swag, etc.

TEAMS: There will also be prizes awarded to the winning team, the team with the best team spirit, the team who listened to the most audiobooks, etc.

Let the adventures begin!!

These books look SO good! But I won't do reading challenges. I end up not enjoying them when I'm forced to read when I don't have time :( Last (and only) one I did was the Harry Potter re-read (https://writersideup.com/2014/10/28/what-gets-you-to-reread-a-book/) and I was REALLY happy I did. I recently looked over those old posts and it makes me want to read it AGAIN! lol Enjoy your challenge and I hope you get all of them read! :D

No problem! This one has prizes for every type of participant, including the category of 0-4 books read. Also, short stories and novellas are acceptable entries, so long as they’re indie. How did your conference go? I hope you had a fabulous time!
Great memory about the conference! I'm REALLY impressed---and flattered :D It actually went really well---I thought up a new tool to help make it more fruitful and productive in submitting work post-conference so I'm feeling good about that. Just dealing with health stuff that's interfering, but keep pushing. Thanks for asking! And I hope you get some nifty prizes :D :D :D
Can't wait for the challenge to start! I'm looking forward to reading Realm of Beasts as well!

You can already begin with the June group reads, which are also worth bonus points: Fate of Dragons and Windsworn.
