Biannual Bibliothon Day 1 Blogger Challenge!

The first day blog challenge is answering the following questions:

1.What are you planning to read for the Summer Biannual Bibliothon?

• Isn't that a great question? I have changed my TBR a million times but here is the 'plan', but it will probably be changed up a time or two mid-readathon!
• • Group book (Flame in the Mist by Renee Adieh)
  • N/A
  • Read from a host's favorite genre (options are: Magical Realism, Historical Fiction, High/Epic Fantasy, Diverse Books, Dystopian/SciFi, Paranormal or Urban fantasy)
  • Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling Illustrated Edition
  • Read a book that has been or is still banned
  • The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (and Harry Potter!!)
  • Throwback challenge (I picked graphic novel)
  • Saga: Vol 4 by Brian Vaughan
  • Book to movie/tv adaptation
  • Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets by JK Rowling Illustrated Edition
  • Read a book you've seen somewhere other than BookTube
  • A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
  • LGBTQIA
  • Simon vs the Homosapiens Agenda by Becky  Albertalli

2.What is your favourite genre to read in Summer?

• That's tough b/c this year, I have read a lot of fantasy but typically, I feel like that is a Winter kind of genre. I would say thriller and contemporaries but this summer I have mixed it up quite a bit.

3.Where is your favourite place to read in the summer?

• The pool or the beach. I just get distracted too easily!

4.What is your favourite challenge done in the Summer Biannual Bibliothon?

• Read a book in a day. It's hard but it's SO rewarding!

5.What fictional character would you hang out in the summer if you could?

• That is a very hard question. Hermione, perhaps!!

6.What are your plans for summer?

• I live about 20 min outside DC in the suburbs or Maryland so we go to the Eastern shore, to the beach, 3 times a summer b/c my BF LOVES it! So, we have already gone twice. We have one more trip planned (the week grad classes start again!!) and I am going to see my mom for a short trip to FL in August as well! Other than that, I took off this summer for classes so I am reading!!!!

7.Do you have summer reading playlist,If not what would be on it?

• Not particularly for summer but, I keep a few spotify playlists up to date. I have a country one, a workout (running) one, and an alt/indie one.

8.What is your favourite summer movie?

• Probably a silly 80's movie. I can't think of anything off hand.

9.What book do you read every summer,if not what thing do you do every summer?

• I don't have one. But our beach trips are definitely every single summer for the past 4 without fail.

10.What other book tags are you planning to do this summer?

• I am not sure what tags I will do but I am taking part in many readathons!!
• Biannual Bibliothon
• Book Tube-a-thon
• International Buddy-a-thon
• Bout of Books
• ARC August

Readathon Frenzy!!

Hello Everyone -

I am so excited to take part in THREE readathons that are overlapping next week! The first is Book Tube-a-thon. The second is the Biannual Bibliothon. And I am taking part in an International Buddy-a-thon. There is no way I can do all of the challenges for one, much less for all three. I always have high hopes but I read less than a quarter of what most BookTuber's read during readathons so I will do my best. I will have a lot of overlapping challenges. I have posted them below. There are also a lot of books that fit many challenges. It seems like every book I wanted to pick had a person on the cover. :)  Wish me luck -- this is such an ambitious TBR!
If  you want more information for the readathons, I have included that too!

Also, Hardbackhoarder on YouTube created an AWESOME google doc to share for tracking Book tube-a-thon here - check her out on YT here: Hardbackhoarder
