The Reading Rush TBR

I am so excited about this read-a-thon. I haven't participated in a read-a-thon in a little while mainly because I was trying to get caught up here on the blog. (Yep I said trying!) Anyway, The Reading Rush is the read-a-thon that is previoiusly known as the BookTubeAThon. I've participated in that one a few times and normally I do pretty well. This year though the hostes Ariel and Raeleen have vamped the whole thing. It now has it's own website where you can earn badges and there are forums so you can chat with other book lovers. It's going to be so much fun and I can't wait. Oh and did I mention that it starts July 22nd to the 28th.

So there are some great challenges for this read-a-thon as well, thats one of the way you earn those badges. Below are the books I'm going to try to read for this read-a-thon and the challenges they go with. Some books work for several challenges!

 The first challenge is to read a book with purple on the cover. I picked Diary of a Single Wedding Planner by Violet Howe. This book also works for another challenge, which is to read an authors first book. So two challenges down with the first book. YAY ME!

The next challenge is to Read a book in the same spot the entire time. So I figured this needed to be a shorter book. (Though thinking about it really didn't have to be. I just needed to pick a comfy spot and just keep coming back to it.) Though I went with a shorter book lol. I picked The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. Oh yeah did I mention it's the graphic novel? That's what I meant by short book.  I'll be reading Volume 1 for this challenge.

This will also work for another challenge as well and that's to read a book and watch the movie adaptation. I didn't want to re-read anything and couldn't think of anything I wanted to watch, so I figured this one would work.

This one I'm really excited about! A Darker Shade of Magic is a book that I've been dying to read but haven't found the time to do so. Anyway, this one works for two challenges as well. Do you see a patern here? The challenges for this one are Read a book you meant to read last year and Read a Book with five or more words in the title. 

So there is one more challenge that I'm going for and that is to read a book with a non human main character. (There is a badge if you read seven books, but I'm not pushing myself for that one!) Anyway, I'm going to read Monstress for that. I figued it's a graphic novel and it will be another fast read. The main character isn't human so it worked.  I'm also reading Hex Hall right now, so if I don't finish that book in time I'll be finishing it after I finish these books above. 

Like I said above I'm super excited for this read-a-thon to start and if you would like more information on this one you can CLICK HERE!  I hope you're all having a great week and as always...

BookTube-A-Thon TBR

So BookTube-A-Thon starts next week and I'm super excited to participate again. Even though I'll be traveling one of the days, I still want to get some reading finished throughout the whole thing. So one of my books will be an audio book (Of course lol). I'm also going to try to get through the reading challenges just not sure that will happen, but hey it's a goal right? Anyway, it's time to show the books I plan to read. 

Let's talk about the reading challenges first! 

• 1. Read a Book with a Person on the cover. 

For this challenge I chose the book that I'm adding to my Sittin on the Shelf Challenge for next month.  Which clearly has a person on the cover!

• 2. Read a Hyped Book 

For this one, I had to think about it for a few minutes. I have so many books to read that would work for this one, but in the end I chose one that I had heard so much about when it came out and I have been dying to start it.

• 3. Finish a Book in One Day

For this challenge I'm going to do this one for my audio book and the day I'll be traveling. It's also a hyped book lol.

• 4. Read a Book About a Character Whose Really Different Than You

Since again, I'll be traveling on Tuesday, I'm going to add another audio book to this list since The Lightning Thief isn't that long.  I have a sixteen hour drive that day so the this challenge will cover the second book.

• 5. Finish A Book Completely Outside 

For this book I'm hoping I'll be home and can finish this on my front porch. It's only 104 pages so it won't be too bad!

 

 

•  6. Finish a Book You Bought Because of the Cover

I don't usually buy books just because of the cover, but this book was one that I bought at #RAGT2017 and I loved the cover and of course the author. So I guess it counts right?

 

• 7. Finish 7 Books in 7 Days 

Not sure I can finish all 7, but like I said I'm going to try really hard. The last book is a really short one and even the author called them Netflix books lol. I've already finished the first and I think it's time to read the second.
