The Summer of Tropes is a community-driven reading program designed to bring romance readers together all summer long.

In previous years, participation was free thanks to generous sponsor support. As the program continues to grow, we’re introducing a small registration fee ($5–$10) to help expand prizes, improve the end-of-summer auction, and support the continued growth of the program.

Registration helps fund:

📚 Bigger prize bundles and auction items
💌 Program materials like reading passports and challenges
📣 Expanded promotion and community events
✨ An even better experience for participants

Our goal is to keep the program fun, accessible, and community-focused while making it bigger and better each year.

Registration Options:

Summer of Tropes Reader Passport – $5
📚 Official Summer of Tropes reading passport
🏆 Access to the reading challenge and trope tracker
🎟 Entry into the end-of-summer auction
💌 Program emails, leaderboard updates, and bonus challenges

Summer of Tropes Super Reader Passport – $10
Everything in the Passport PLUS:
🎁 Entry into an exclusive supporter prize drawing

Team tropes are just for fun. They do not necessarily dictate what you will read throughout the summer.
