Winter BiAnnual Bibliothon Wrap-up

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
