I came across #TheReadingQuest last week and I have fallen in love with the idea of it! It's like a video game or RPG. You get to choose a character and read books according to their quest, plus there are side quests too. You earn experience points for the books you read, bonus if they are written by marginalized authors. Aentee at Read at Midnight created this quest, go check out her sign up page for all the details.
#TheReadingQuest runs from August 13 - September 10. It's a four week reading challenge! It'll be some much more doable than a weekly read-a-thon. I'll probably do some update posts during challenge as well.
MAGE: As wielders of spells and witchcraft, these players will conjure and summon their way through the first down path on the quest. Their tomes contain magic and whispers of alternate lands.
