The weather is getting warmer (or cooler if you're somewhere like Australia)! Any hot new releases you guys are reading? What challenge(s) are you going to check off this week?

I think I'm going to read a graphic novel and a short story this week. I'll probably read Astonishing X-Men and try to finish the Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy series! I'm excited. I finally have enough time to read and complete challenges! I might also try to read a 2017 debut author because seeing The Love Interest sitting on my desk keeps tempting me, and I feel like it'll be a quick read.

BlurryBug | 30 comments I think I might do the cover pick since I picked up Lorali by Laura Dockrill from the library and it's so pretty.
not sure I get much more done, packing down my apartment this week.

Sarah (harasnicole) | 3 comments I'm thinking about picking up a nonfiction book this week. I came across one about the rise of ISIS that piqued my interest and so borrowed it from my library via Overdrive.

Meneniareads (nenia) | 9 comments I'm new to this group. Does the read-a-thon lasts for an entire week?

In that case, my two picks for this week is:
A book you picked because of the cover: When We Collided by Emery Lord
Someone else's favorite book: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3) by J.K. Rowling
