ReadMyBooks Readathon

Hey Guys, I am starting my own readathon. It is called the ReadMyBooks readathon, and it will be a bi-monthly readathon taking place every other month for the whole month.

This first round will take start on July 1st at midnight in your timezone. The way this readathon works is that all the prompts are based on my favourite books and each page read is worth 1 point so if you read 350 pages you get 350 points. There will be 3 additional prompts that will consist of my personal favourite books, if you read these books they are worth 25 points each.

This readathon isn’t without rewards as one person will be randomly selected from the team with the most points to win a book or bookish item of their choice up to £15. This is UK limited because of shipping costs. The winner will be announced on August 5th and items will be shipped on August 26th and I will need a response within 24 hours or I will pick another winner.

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 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:

• Corvere’s Crows – you lot are sharp and strong and you may skip one of the prompts however, you are hot tempered and prone to rash decisions so you can’t change your TBR once it is set.

• Saleh’s Snakes – you are cunning so use all your skill, you can double your points on books over 500 pages however you can only use it twice.

• Katniss’ Kittens – After surviving the Hunger Games you need a rest you can DNF a book on your TBR and still claim the points but you can only use it once.

• Dalinar’s Desolations – The world of Roshar is harsh and filled with terror your strength is that you can skip the bonus prompts but you can only claim half of the points on 3 of the other prompts.

You can find the personality quiz here, the sign up sheet here and the tracker here.

1. Nevernight – Read a book with a main character that is a murderer or assassin.
