Hey Guys, I am starting my own readathon. It is called the ReadMyBooks readathon, and it will be a monthly readathon taking place every month for one week.
This first round will take place between August 7th and August 14th and hopefully the same week every month. The way this readathon works is that all the prompts are based on my personal favourite books and there will be 3 additional prompts that will consist of my personal favourite books.
This readathon isn’t without rewards as one person who manages to finish all the set prompts will be selected at random to win a £10 or $10 amazon gift card and one other person who manages to read all the set prompts and the 3 bonus prompts will also receive a £10 or $10 Amazon gift card. So there will be two winners and hopefully, as I gain a larger following I am able to put on some more prizes. Winners will be announced on August 26thand I will need a response within 24 hours or I will pick another.
On to the prompts, there will be 14 set prompts and 3 bonus prompts – no easy rides here. As I mentioned they will all be based on my favourite books. You can change your TBR but only once per prompt and you can’t change the bonus books. Some of these prompts are designed to push you outside of your comfort zone so rise to the challenge.
To make this readathon more interesting there will be four teams who will all have a weakness and strength and there will be a personality test that will sort you into your teams.
TEAMS:
Snape’s Sectumsempras
Minerva’s Masterminds
Flitwick’s Nitwits
Helga’s Helpers
