Book Blogger Hop's purpose is to give bloggers a chance to discover and follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend bloggers, and gain followers. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday where there will be a weekly prompt following a bookish question.
Question:
Do you participate in read-a-thons and/or reading challenges?
Answer:
I love participating in read-a-thons and reading challenges, but I don't do it too often! I cannot participate in too many, or I get into bad reading slumps, so I try to only participate in a few each year. The read-a-thon I like participating in each year is the BookTube-a-Thon. I am not a BookTuber, but I like the challenges, Twitter sprints, and Instagram contests. I've participated every year since it was started and it's become a yearly summer activity that I always find time for.This summer it was actually a couple weeks ago. Here is my BookTube-A-Thon Wrap Up if you're interested in seeing how I did this year! Other than that I don't participate in too many. I am interested in doing a 24 hour read-a-thon sometime, either just on my own time or participating in one being hosted by someone in the book community. I am thinking about doing the Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon this summer, mostly because it is on my birthday and that seems like a really fun way to celebrate turning 26. I also am participating in my library's summer reading bingo challenge which has been a lot of fun. It's cute and simple but has me picking up some books I may not have picked up originally.
I keep meaning to book-tube more... but I am a lazy bum.
ReplyDeleteGah I get it. It's so easy to get behind on booktube videos! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI really wish I can do read-a-thons but sadly I can't mange it time wise, I am always busy the first two weeks of each months. But the only challenges that I have done is goodreads challenges. Thank you for the awesome post Heather.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense! It's so hard to fit it all in. Goodreads challenges are great though! I always forget to add that, but I am participating in one too! :) thanks for reading!
DeleteI would like to participate in Dewey's Read-Athon one of these days. I've been able to jump in for short spurts, but not for long.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading challenges, but am not taking part in any this year. I haven't really spent much time checking out the book-tube scene. I need to do that.
I hope you have a great weekend, Heather!
I definitely recommend booktube! And yeah! Dewey's looks really fun I hope I'm able to participate this year. Also thank you! I hope your well is going well.
DeleteI can't wait to participate in a readathon!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait either! It'll be fun to have someone I know personally participating with me! :)
DeleteI have not been able to participate in a readathon yet. I would love to soon!
ReplyDeleteI recommend it at least once a year! It's so much fun and it's easy to get that TBR list down! :)
DeleteI recently started to get into BookTube, posting end of month review roundups, but I've not gotten involved in any other way yet.
ReplyDeleteOh awesome! I used to booktube but I stopped ages ago and I'm just a viewer now. But it's a great place to have a community of readers :)
