I always like participating in this readathon, so of course I have to try and participate again this year!
This year the reading rush is taking place from July 20th to July 26th!
See the announcement video here!
So this week will be my first full week of work, so I´m not sure how reading will go! So I´m definitely going to double up on prompts!
Challenges:
- Read a book with a cover that matches the colour of your birth stone.
- Read a book that starts with the word ‘the’.
- Read a book that inspired a movie you’ve already seen.
- Read the first book you touch.
- Read a book completely outside of your house.
- Read a book in a genre you’ve always want to read more of.
- Read a book that takes place on different continent than where you live.
Reading plans:
- The shadow of what was lost by James Islington
- Prompt 1: I’m born in November, so my birthstone is Citrine, and there is some yellow on the cover.
- Prompt 2: Well it starts with the
- Long way down by Jason Reynolds
- Prompt 5: Planning to listen to this walking to and from work! (only 2 hours long)
- Prompt 6: I’m always surprised by how much I enjoy listening to books written in verse!
- Prompt 7: Pretty sure this takes place in America?
- Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
- Prompt 3: I really like these movies but I’ve never read this.. I will try and listen to the audiobook (after Long way down)
- Giant days vol. 9 by John Allison
- Prompt 4: I put four graphic novels on my screen (that are on scribd), closed my eyes and touched one! Choose between Giant days vol. 9, The woods vol. 2, Lumberjanes vol. 12 and the backstagers vol.1
So basically I only choose one physical book, but it is a chunker (600 pages)! And as I mentioned, I’m not sure how much I will read, but I guess we will wait and see!
So fun! Currently doing the reading rush too-my TBR post is on my blog under “Book Tags + More!”
Ooh enjoy!
This looks like a fun challenge, good luck with it, and with work!
Thanks 🙂
Have fun reading!!
Thanks
Good luck! I’ll participate this year for the first time, hopefully I won’t fail, but eh. xD You gave me an idea to combine prompts, thanks! 🙂
Good luck to you too!
Combining prompts definitely helps!
Good luck with Reading Rush!
Thank you
I fail in readathons so I hesitate to participate lol! Also, the prompts are so fun! Best of luck!
Haha, as long as you have fun right?
Thanks!
Ooo great post. I haven’t read any of the books on here but they sound amazing. I haven’t read Jurassic Park either but I love the films and dinosaurs. Might have to add it to my TBR list
Yeah I hope I will finally manage to read it haha!
So excited for the Reading Rush! Best of luck with your TBR! 🙂
I hope you have a good time!
This sounds like a really fun readathon, but I can’t participate in readathons that are mostly during the week (I work 8-5 and then usually don’t get much reading done after work). Good luck to you!
Yeah I’m wondering how it will go for me haha, it is my first full week at my new job! And instead of working 5 days I will work 3 day of 10 hours.. (Due to corona rules) So I’m not sure how much energy I will have
