So As mentioned, they created 7 challenges to make things a little more interesting. I changed these and made a few adjustments to make it fit my schedule a little better, and feel free to make your own adjustments as well! Before getting into the challenges i want to point out that the girls intend for the Read-A-Thon to start on July 15th and end on July 21st. My first change to the plan is that i am starting now. Due to the fact that the challenges would be quite difficult for me to complete in that time seeing how busy i am, i wanted to give myself a little more time. Now lets get into the challenges and what books i'll be reading for each!
Challenge # 1. Read 300 pages a day
-This would equal out to 2,100 pages in those 7 days. So what i have changed for this one is that i want to complete 2,100 pages by the 21st, no matter if i read 100 one day and 400 another day.
Challenge # 2. Read a book with 500 or more pages
- For this challenge i plan on reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. ( this one is 498 pages so I'm counting it anyways)
Challenge # 3. Re-read a book
- I had a difficult time deciding on a book to re-read for this one, but when i picked up Miss peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs I knew i had to read this one over again! (The pictures are much better in the physical copy than on my E-reader which is how i read it the first time)
Challenge # 4. Finish a Series or Trilogy
- This can mean reading the last book or the two last books or the whole series, depending on what you have to finish or if you have any at all. I decided it is definitely time for me to finish the Hunger Games series with MockingJay by Suzanne Collins.
Challenge # 5. Read a book that has been on your shelf the longest
- To my understanding this can be a book that you've read or not read, however i'm personally choosing a book i haven't read. For this challenge i decided on Ghost Huntress: The Awakening by Marley Gibson.
Challenge # 6. Listen to an Audio-book
- I love this challenge because to my knowledge not many people use audio-books. I recently got 13 Reasons why by Jay Asher. Listening to a book i really convenient because i can listen on the go, or while i'm cleaning or cooking or in the bath. The possibilities are endless LOL.
And Finally......
Challenge # 7. Read a Classic
- I'm not a big fan of classics so i was fairly hesitant when it came to this one. I checked online to see about getting a free classic on my E-reader and I found The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I thought this one sounded interesting so i thought i'd give it a try!
BONUS Challenge: See how many challenges you can mix together!
I'm very excited about getting started and can't wait to see how many of these challenges i can complete! Feel free to switch things up to fit for yourself and let me know what you plan on reading! Also, You definitely don't have to do the challenges to take part, if you want to just read as much as you can before the 21st that's awesome too! I'm going to keep you updated on when i finish a challenge and let you know my page count so far. I hope you'll all join me and get your reading on cause it's going to be a busy month for reading but also a very fun one! Make sure to follow the girls on twitter @BookTubeAThon to get updates and support through out the marathon, plus they'll have a hashtag going on which is #BookTubeAThon! Let me know if you'll be taking part and have fun!
