With the Reading Rush (formerly known as Booktubeathon) beginning on Monday, I thought I would post a tentative list of the books I’m going to try to cram into the next week. I’d like to at least complete all of the challenges, even if I don’t get to finishing 7 books within the week. Because of this, I have decided to double up on some of the challenges, this means that for the remaining amounts of books to complete the 7 book goal, I can be more flexible in what I read.
Read a book with purple on the cover: For this challenge, I think I’m going to double up and combine it with the challenge of reading the book and watching the movie. The book I am going to do for this is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. The cover version I have has a bit of purple on the cover, and to be honest I am in a Harry Potter mood currently and the book is so short I can most likely finish in an afternoon. Then I can watch the movie and knock these two challenges out on the first day! This can also be used for the challenge read an author’s debut novel, now that I think about it… So I guess I’m tripling up on this one.
Read an entire book in one spot: I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do with this one yet… I’m thinking of doubling up on this one again and reading a volume of the graphic novel Saga by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples. This would work for the challenge of read a book with a non-human main character.
Read a book from last year’s TBR: for this challenge, I think I am going to read City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare. I had planned to finish the series last summer but that just didn’t happen. Maybe I will be able to get the motivation I need from the readathon to finish it this summer.
Read a book with a five word title: I’m less sure about this challenge than I am the other ones… Looking through my TBR, I am thinking about reading My Favourite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren (I’m going to count it as 5 whole words…) or maybe I’ll pick up Don’t You Forget About Me by Mhairi McFarlane.
Since I have combined so many challenges, I still have three spots free on my TBR for the readathon. The books I am keeping on standby to finish the 7 book challenge are:
Please Send Help by Allison Raskin and Gaby Dunn
Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat
The Perfect Date by Evelyn Lozada
Intercepted by Alexa Martin
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
