The Reading Rush Wrap Up!

So it's been a couple weeks since The Reading Rush ended and so I thought I'd share with you how I did! I did pretty well, especially since I had a lot of things going on in my life that week. Let's get right to it:

I managed to read 4 books, just over 800 pages:

Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman
Runaways Vol 2: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
Hawkeye: Kate Bishop Vol. 2: Masks by Kelly Thompson
With these books, I was able to complete all the challenges!

Read a book with purple on the cover:
Runaways Vol. 2: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell
Hawkeye: Kate Bishop Vol. 2: Masks by Kelly Thompson
Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman

Three of the four of my books have purple on the cover, and I didn't even try to plan that!

Read a book in the same spot the entire time:
Hawkeye: Kate Bishop Vol. 2: Masks by Kelly Thompson
Runaways Vol. 2: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell

I read both of these in the same spot, but I read Runaways first so I counted that one for this challenge.

Read a book you meant to read last year:
Hawkeye: Kate Bishop Vol. 2: Masks by Kelly Thompson
Runaways Vol. 2: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell

I'm forever buying trades and then not reading them in a timely manner, so these worked perfectly for this challenge.

Read an author's first book:
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

I started but didn't finish Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, but luck for me Good Omens is technically Neil Gaiman's first book!

Read a book with a non-human main character:
Runaways: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell

There's a whole slew of non-human main characters in this series: a robot head, a dinosaur, and an alien just to name a few!

Pick a book that has five or more words in the title:
Hawkeye: Kate Bishop Vol. 2: Masks by Kelly Thompson
Runaways Vol. 2: Best Friends Forever by Rainbow Rowell

The trades are coming in really handy this year, what with all the words in their titles and all.

Read and watch a book to movie adaptation:
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

Technically I didn't complete this challenge because I didn't manage to watch the adaptation but I read the book and that was fun.

That's it! I collected 10 badges on The Reading Rush website and enjoyed putting more time and effort into my everyday reading! I think I should participate in more regularly in read-a-thons. So which one will it be next?!
