Duodecathon discussion

Hi, This is my first time doing the duodecathon. I will be doing the A "high school" book you haven't read challenge. I am planning to read The Canterville Ghost

I’m planning on reading “illuminae” as the book recommended by someone here

And maybe the high school book i haven’tread: The wizard of oz. (because it’s a classic and i haven’t read it yet, also we didn’t have to read any books in high school)

It’s a little bit cheating i suppose? Lol

Hi! This is my first time participating in this readathon and I plan on reading 1,200 pages. I may even go past that but we’ll have to wait and see.

Hi, this is my kind-of second time participating in DuoDecathon (and probably my last because I go back to school in a few weeks). I'm going to try to complete as many challenges as possible while I still have free time to read.

Banned book — 1984 (also my summer reading)
Multiple POV — Vassa in the Night
Great first line — Exit West
High school — Confessions of a Teenage Leper

And that will total over 1200 pages, that's another challenge.
These were all books that I'm going to read anyway so I think I'll be able to do it, wish me luck!

This is my first time participating :)

I'm hoping to knock a couple challenges out since I'm new and so far behind.
I'm reading The Shining by Stephen King (Villain/Antihero) and The Passage by Justin Cronin (Multiple POVs) and the two together will be over 1200 pages.

I just have a question. I started six of crows the day BEFORE the readathon began not knowing about them (readathons). I was curious if I’d still be able to use the book for the challenges!! If not I totally get it!

I'm trying to knock out a few challenges since I came into the game late. I've got The Great Gatsby for a high school I never read, Welcome to Night Vale for a book with a great first line, and I'm trying to tackle 1,200 pages.

Savannah, i totally get what you’re saying.. because i feel the same, i’m not even halfway though the first book i chose this week

I was going to read “the wizard of oz” as high school book, but i changed my mind and i read “one piece volume 2” as the second book in a series
And i’m half way through “illuminae “ hopefully i’ll finish it tomorrow before midnight 🚶🏽‍♀️

Looks like I totally forgot to tell you all which challenge I completed for August.

During Duodecathon in August, I read Vicious by V.E. Schwab for the "A book about a villain/antihero" task. :-)


I read this book August 10-11. :-)
