Which books are you planning to read during the readathon? Feel free to post lists, links to TBR videos or blog posts... however you'd like to share your 'to be read' pile!

Farah (bookworm-87) Send by Patty Blount I'm planning on reading this..I've been wanting to read it for a long time.


message 3: by Anne (new)

Anne (bleedingrose) Considering my pile of unread books, I would safe "Pushing the Limits" by Katie McGarry and "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe" by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Perhaps also "Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell or "Forbidden" by Tabitha Suzuma.
I'm excited to see what you will read, perhaps I will find some other books to read :)

Anna (goodreadscomanna_shuk) Hey! Thank you for hosting this readathon.
I'll be posting my tbr closer to the beginning date, but at the moment I'm considering Wonder, Eleanor and Park, and Ari&Dante. I know it could be hard for me to handle some other heavier books, but I'll search a little more.

The Villain (the_verbal_villain) | 8 comments Hi Sarah, thank you for the invitation to such a great cause.
I have written my own true tale of how I endured and then ended my bullying. I hope teenagers, ya's and parents can take inspiration from my book and that by finding your particular skill deep down in your soul, than you can be 'greater than your haters'
