Readathin Announcement and Plans

Yay! Finally, another round of Readathin is around the corner, and I have high hopes for my TRB since I keep adding to it, and it is stressing me out even if I have read about 40 books already this year.

What is Readathin?

The goal is to read as many as you can during the month. The challenges are more of a guide to help choose which books to pick. It started in 2017 by  Amanda from MANDA THE BIBLEO, then Donna from Momsbookcollection joined in as a host. This readathon is a month-long, and it takes place in February, May, August, and November every year.

Challenges

Red or pink on cover – A cover that has a hint or alot of red or pink.

Take a self care day – Have a bath, hot shower, nap. Anything that you wanna call self care day for you then do it. (post a photo on our twitter)

Not sure what I’m doing yet here.

Read the Buddy Read book – There are three buddy read books you can choose from, anyone of these books will go for the buddy read bingo prompt.

Reorganize a shelf (physical or online) – redo your shelves online like goodreads or storygraph or even your google sheets or notion but also your physical shelves. (post a photo on our twitter)

This year I checked an excel sheet that I could arrange.

A romance novel – Any book that has romance as the genre on it.

Watch a movie or t.v. show – Pick a movie or t.v. show and watch it any time this month can even do it more then once. (post a photo of the movie/t.v. show on our twitter)

Good, now I have the excuse to watch an episode or two.

Read a book toward one of your yearly goals – If have joined in the buzzwordathon, popsugar or any other challenges that are year round or if you just made your own yearly challenge goal for a book read that.
