I think I'm going for the non-fiction one this time. Either Orange is the new black, or Not that kind of girl. I think.
I'm joining reading sprints when I happen to see them. I'm not sure when they are.
Not sure what to do this roundbut maybe short stories as I have a collection of winnie the pooh for a different readathon
I won't be participating this week but I will do the 11-17 one.. does anyone know why there is two?
But yeah I need a break from ReadAThons! As I just had Duodecathon, BookTubeAThon & Summer Biannual Bibliothon all cross over in the last 2 weeks. I need a break before I burn myself completely out! 😳
I will be doing going for the Non-fiction one this time around. I want to finish Go Forward With Faith and then try to read The Hour of Peril.
I just stumbled upon this reading challenge so I guess this means I will have to work extra hard to get that win at the end. So, just to have a strong opening I will go after the "read 1200 pages" challenge. I just started a 600 pages book today and I really need to get my library loans back anyway so hopefully this will help with the motivation.
EDIT
So my first 602 pages was this:
My second 528 pages was this (ebook version)
Which so far brings my tally up to 1130 pages. In the remaining time (1 hour according to my time zone I will read something less taxing. If I finish in time I will update.
EDIT 2
So... I technically completed the challenge of reading 1200 pages in a week because I am on page 130 of the first volume of the manga series Chrno Crusade. Which puts me at 1260 pages for the week. (I count the manga as a book because it is not really different from a graphic novel and even the booktube-a-thon count them as books)
@duskangelread I think it might be because there weren't one in January, at least not according to the dates stated on the front page :)
I am going for the 2017 Debut Author challenge and for that I'm reading Caraval! I am so excited for this book and this challenge. I'm hoping to wrap up the rest of the challenges this month.
. Finished this book last night. Now onto the hour of peril. I don't know if I will get this finished before the end of Monday.
