The Reading Rush TBR

It's read-a-thon time! The last handful of summers something called the Booktube-A-Thon took place, and now it has been rebranded and renamed to The Reading Rush. The Reading Rush was created by Ariel Bissett (the creator of the Booktube-A-Thon) and Raeleen Lemay. Every year Ariel put so much time and effort into the BookTube-A-Thon and it always showed, and now her and Raeleen really kicked it into gear with creating a website. On this website you make a profile and once the read-a-thon begins you'll be able to update your reading progress, earn badges, make new reading buddies, and if you're in the mood for some retail therapy or maybe want to buy books for the read-a-thon you can find a list of 100 discounted books from Book Depository. The Reading Rush also has a YouTube channel. This year this week long read-a-thon will take place July 22-28th.

Like every year, there is a list of seven reading challenges to make it a more fun experience. You do not need to complete these challenges to participate, but I always do because it makes it more exciting for me. Plus, it helps me figure out what books to read. So in this post I will be discussing the challenges and the books  I'll be reading to complete those challenges.

BookTube-A-Thon 2018 Wrap-Up!

BookTube-A-Thon is a week long read-a-thon created by Ariel Bissett, a BookTuber, that encourages the book community to get together and focus solely on reading for the week. This is a great way to either get through some smaller books you've had on your TBR for way too long or maybe get the courage to pick up one of those books that you've been too intimidated to pick up.

I will link the official BookTube-A-Thon Youtube Here if you need any more information about the read-a-thon, and if you ended up missing it I hope you are able to participate next summer!

In this post I'll talk about the books I read, and the ones I was supposed to but didn't read. This BookTube-A-Thon was the first year I didn't finish all the challenges! I hit a few bumps in the road of this year's read-a-thon but I am really happy with the books I read!

The 12 Books of Christmas Challenge

I am participating in The 12 Books of Christmas Challenge which is being hosted by Just Another Girl and her Books and Caroline Andrus. The goal is to read and review as many holiday themed books as you can between November 24th and December 24th. I am a bit behind on planning because I only just heard about it recently but I am really excited to at least try to achieve some of the goals and have some fun.

My Read-O-Rama TBR

Read-O-Rama is a read-a-thon taking place this week! It starts today, March 12th and ends on the 18th. I haven't been able to find a specific creator of the read-a-thon but it does have a Twitter where the five hosts will be running reading sprints and there is also a giveaway happening.

I only found out about the read-a-thon yesterday, so I am late to the game, but I really wanted to participate. So this is a last minute TBR plan and a few of the books I am waiting on the library to have for me, so the books I read for those challenges may change depending on if the books arrive in time. Either way I am going to try to finish all seven challenges but the main goal is to just get a little extra reading done that I wouldn't have normally. So here are the challenges and my plans for each of them.
