Anyway, a little late, but I thought I would share my Booktube-A-Thon 2016 TBR! I honestly have only 4 on the list right now. I always try to combine challenges, then read whatever books I have time for after that. Also, since I have to work all week, I won't have a ton of time for reading. So I probably won't be able to read 7 books, but I will get as far as I can!
Challenge 1 & Challenge 5: Read a book with yellow on the cover & read a book older than you.
For this challenge, I picked Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare. I chose my No Fear Shakespeare version because it has yellow on the cover, of course. The other reason I chose this was because this play was the very first Shakespeare play I ever went to see and I went with my sister. It was my first trip to the local Shakespeare festival here in Boise, so it hold special place in my heart. This also has the benefit of being older that me!
Challenge 2 & Challenge 6: Read a book only after sunset & read and watch the book-to-movie adaptation
The book that I chose for these 2 challenges is Coraline by Neil Gaiman. I wanted to pick a book that was short, so that I could read it quickly since I'm reading it only at night and here sunset is officially at almost 9:30 pm. Since I go to bed fairly early, I definitely need something short! I also wanted to pick a book that I hadn't seen the movie. I already had the book and I checked out the movie from my library, so I'm ready for it when I finish the book.
Challenge 3: Read a book you discovered through Booktube.
I struggled with this one. There are so many books that I've discovered through Booktube. I had to think about what I was in the mood to read. I ultimately decided to read Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes. I believe I first heard about this series from Lainey from Gingerreadslainey. She always would say how much she loved it, so I looked into it and thought it sounded interesting. I thought about maybe choosing Throne of Glass, but decided I wanted to read this one first.
Challenge 4: Read a book by your favorite author.
I also had a hard time picking which book I was going to read for this one. I have a few authors that I love with books on my shelf that are unread still. I ultimately decided to read The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan. I love Riordan's books and I felt like this one would be pretty easy to get through. I've also heard good things about this book.
The last challenge is to read 7 books. Here I have 4 out of 7. I haven't decided on the other 3 for two reasons. One is because I'm not sure how much reading I'm going to get done, mostly because of work. Second, I am such a mood reader that I want to leave myself some wiggle room to pick books that I'm in the mood to read. Who knows, I may even change my challenge books, depending on my mood! I probably won't because I want to read all of them, but it could happen!
So that's it! That's all I've got for now. Are you participating in Booktube-a-thon? If so, feel free to link your channel or blog in the comments so I can check out your TBR's!
Until next time,
Jenell
