The Reading Rush 2019

I'm a sucker for a good read-a-thon and I've always participated in The Booktube-A-Thon to some varying degree. This year is no different, except they've changed the name. It's now called The Reading Rush (and the title is growing on me.) This year there's a website and badges that you can unlock. I'm loving these updates!

It's a week long, running July 22nd - 28th. There are seven challenges which I have below and a bonus challenge to read seven books. I know I'm not going to get through seven books, but I will enjoy trying! Because I can never make a decision on books, I've got several options for each challenge.

This is my Reading Rush for 2019!

Read a book with purple on the cover:
The Disasters by M.K. England
Hawkeye: Kate Bishop: Masks by Kelly Thompson
Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman

Read a book in the same spot the entire time:
Hawkeye: Kate Bishop: Family Reunion by Kelly Thompson
Runaways: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell

Read a book you meant to read last year:
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
Renegades by Marissa Meyer

Read an author's first book:
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
The Disasters by M.K. England

Read a book with a non-human main character:
Soul and Stars by Ashley Poston - This comes out this week!
Runaways: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling

Pick a book that has five or more words in the title:
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
Hawkeye: Kate Bishop: Family Reunion by Kelly Thompson

Read and watch a book to movie adaptation:
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

Atonement by Ian McEwan 

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Wells

There are so many possibilities and it's likely that I'll only get through one book of these, but I'm hoping to get through at least the graphic novels. Who knows if any of these books will actually stick. We shall find out what I actually read. Happy reading all!

July TBR

July is upon us, well we're actually quite into July now and so it is time for my July book and movie picks!

The Picks:
Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet - Read a book that features the Internet/technology
Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman - This book features an Internet book scavenger hunt of sorts and I'm all for it! My friend, Maggie, recommended it to me and I trust her recommendations completely. I'm pretty sure I will love this book.

Finding Nemo - Read a book nominated for an award
The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton - This book was nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award the year it was written. It didn't win, but that's okay, I've heard many good things about the author. It's set in present time and the past, and I'm a sucker for stories that are told that way.

Book Club:
The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton - Surprise! This is my book club pick too. I'm reading one book for two prompts this month and I love it!


I'm also participating in The Reading Rush read-a-thon, so I'll be posting that TBR later this month. Let me know what books you plan on reading this month. Happy reading!
