Booktube-A-Thon 2015
Booktube-A-Thon is now upon us. For those who don’t know what this is, let me explain. Booktube-A-Thon is one of many reading marathons, where you read as much as you can. This particular readathon goes from August 3rd-9th. Originating in 2012, the program is going into its 3rd year; and my second year participating.
The readathon is more than a ‘just go read a book’ type of thing. Every year there are hosts of the readathon; these people challenge the participating readers to complete book and video challenges. Video challenges are put up daily and the winners receive free books.
BookDepository.com sponsors Booktube-A-Thon and is the one to provide all the giveaway books. Not just that, but BookDepository.com also has 100 books on a discounted price with a promo code.
Last year, I participated in Booktube-A-Thon but didn’t read that much. I finished one and a half books then. My goal this year is to finish four books during this time. If I read more than four then I surpassed my goal and I would be so so happy!
Here are the book challenges; you can combine any of them together:
Read a book with blue on the cover
Read a book where the author’s last name initial matches your last name initial
Read someone else's favorite book
Read the last book you acquired
Finish a book without letting go of it
Read a book you want to read
Read seven books
I’m going to do as many challenges as I can--well maybe not the seven book challenge. Who can read seven books in one week? I don’t think I’m going to be able to. Never know unless you try; so I’m going to try!
Here are all the books I’m planning on reading…
More in depth:
Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King (advance reading copy)
Pretties by Scott Westerfeld (second book in a series)
Hungry by H.A. Swan
Cloaked by Alex Flinn
Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews
Legend by Marie Lu
Paper Towns by John Green
