Duodecathon discussion

Another month, another read-a-thon! Any cool books you guys are planning on picking up this week? Which challenge are you going to conquer?

I'm reading 1984 during this Duodecathon which doesn't complete any of the challenges, but makes sure I get it read! I'll catch up with the challenges during a different Duodecathon in a less stressful time. ;P

I'm reading Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins it'll complete two challenges for me: to start a book series and book picked for the cover challenges. Also I'm hoping to get in my Pride and Prejudice graphic novel for that challenge. Had to catch up on my challenges. :)

I'm going to continue reading Capital Girls by Ella Monroe. It actually tackles three challenges: it's the first in a series, it's written by multiple authors (it's a female duo sharing one pseudonym), and it's been on my TBR for about two years.

Reading Anne of Green Gables which for me is a 2 + years on tbr challenge.

I have to ask: the 1200 pages read does that have to be in one book or can I add up books?

You can add up books! That would be really difficult if you had to find one book with that many pages.

I'm reading Juliet Takes a Breath which completes "A book that has to do with traveling" and that would be my 7th completed challenge!

I'm quite busy at the moment and have already started two big books (A conjuring of light by V.E. Schwab and Voyager by Diana Gabaldon) so i don't want to go for a "real" extra book for the challenge. Therefore i started the Sherlock holmes short stories, so i can stop whenever I want.

I'm also going to be reading Anna and the French Kiss for exactly the same reasons!

To complete the debut author challenge, I'm reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I've heard lots of great things about it, and it's not very often I read new releases, so it's a nice change.

Ooh that's a crazy one! What do you think so far?

I'm reading Norse mythology by Neil Gaiman for the cover buy challenge

thats what I was thinking, sure I could find one but not ready for that commitment

Ever land by Wendy Spinale and Caraval are the two I am currently on. Everland is my cover read and Caraval first one on the shelf I haven't read. Hope everyone's reading is going well!

I'm reading Uni books which is sad but I don't have all the time I wished for unfortunately doing assignment season.

Just joined so I am trying to catch up to actually complete all 12 challenges this year
- Start OR finish a series Malice
- A 2017 debut author Idaho
- A book that has been on your TBR FOR 2+ years The Shadow of the Wind

This week is so busy 😥 I don't have much time for personal reading, but I'm close to finishing The Color of Water by James McBride for school- it's pretty good!

I've managed to add 463 pages toward the 1200 page goal.
Finished Anne of Green Gables after two days.
Hoping to add a few pages more towards the 1200 page goal before midnight. Only adding pages to that goal from books that does not fit the other goals.

Haven't read too much of Capital Girls as I would've liked. It's the first in a series, but I'm struggling on whether I should DNF it because the characters are irritating. 😒
