Hey booklovers,
I never mentioned that I would be participating in this read-a-thon but I have participated in the past and have always loved pushing myself to complete all the challenges. This post will give you a run down on how my reading went and what challenges I completed.
Reading Challenges
I don’t own the group book and I didn’t want to go out and buy it. This means I would only plan on doing the other six reading challenges. Also, one book can count towards two challenges.
1. Read the group book: Otherworld by Jason Segal and Kirstin Miller
2. Read a sequel: A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
3. Read a book that you have never heard of before: What She Left Behind by Tracy Bilen
4. Read a book about mental illness: A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis
5. Read a book that was mentioned in another book/movie/TV Show: Island of the Blue Dolphins (mentioned in Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips)
6. Read a book under 200 pages: Beasts of No Nation by Uzodinma Iweala
7. Read a backlist book: Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

I didn’t end up reading all the books that I picked out for the biannual bibliothon but I am happy that I was able to finish 6 books this week. So in my eyes this was a job well done. 🙂
Let me know if you took part in the Winter Biannual Bibliothon I would love to know how you did.
