It has been so long since I participated in a read-a-thon of any kind, and to be honest, I really missed it.
I always loved readathons, but life has been pretty busy for the last couple of years, and I simply didn’t have time to do them.
However, now when I don’t have to go to work and have to rest all the time (doctor’s request) pretty much all I do is read and watch movies, so Reading Rush readathon came in perfect time (July 22nd-28th), and I am so happy to participate.
If you didn’t know, Reading Rush was previously known as BookTubeathon but they changed it’s name this year.
They even have their own platform now where you can officially register and chat with other readers.
There are 7 challenges this year, and I decided to combine some of them because, even though I have all the time in the world to read atm, I am still slow when it comes to reading, so I don’t think it’s possible for me to finish 7 different books.
However, I chose 5 books, and if I manage to finish 4 of them, I will consider this readathon as a success!
Anyway, here are the books I plan to read next week.
Read a book with purple on the cover
and
Read a book you meant to read last year:
Read a book in the same spot for the entire time:
Read an author’s first book:
Read a book with a non-human main character
and
Read and watch a book to movie adaptation: (I know only first book was adapted but I will count this one anyway).
Read a book that has five or more words in the title:
That is it. Wish me luck and tell me will you participate in Reading Rush this year and what are your thoughts on readathons in general?
That’s a good selection of books you chose Irena. I hope they are all good.
I remember booktubeathon but didn’t know it changed names. It’s better in my opinion as it sounds more inclusive.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the boks you read.

Great picks, Irena! Good luck with the reading!
I never take part in readathon because it’s too much pressure for me 🙂 x

I get what you mean. For me readathons are usually motivating, but I wasn’t in my best reading condition for this one!
