So I saw this readathon just yesterday and got interested. It's hosted by Val @ The Innocent Smiley and Ely @ Tea & Titles. Basically it's a readathon that allows you guys to pick the books for me. I know I'm a bit of a moody reader and at times, I want to kind of force myself to finally read a book that's been siting in my bookshelf or ereader. This is my chance. Here's more information about the readathon:
{ Make Me Read It Readathon }
Look at the books you own, either physical, e-book or ones you've borrowed from the library and pick out a few you really want to read, or feel like you should read. It’s up to you how many you pick, personally I'd pick a few more than you expect to be able to read in a week. Example: if you think you’ll only read two, pick out five books or if you think you can read seven, pick out ten.
Make a list of these books on your blog, or make a video, or a Goodreads shelf or post a picture on Instagram—whatever is easiest for you. Then get friends, other bloggers/booktubers etc. to vote on which books you HAVE to read.
When the readathon comes along, you read the books in the order of most votes. For example, if one book gets 10 votes—you read that first, then the one that got 7 and so on. If there's a tie, then it's your preference. The goal is to read as many as possible.So there's that. Now here're my choices of book. I decided to pick 10 books. Ideally, I want to read 5 books out of all of these but realistically speaking, I can surely read around 3 of these. The choice is up to you guys. Go pick the books you've been raving about or books you think your friends loved or pick a book you think looks pretty or whatever else. haha.
The readathon starts on July 9 and ends on July 16. 7 days and hopefully 5 (or more) books.
Don't know any of the books? I decided to post their first sentence so you guys can decide (and maybe get interested as well). First five a physical books; last five are ebooks.
