I've decided to join another readathon taking place in October (actually 2 more for a total of 3!).
I'm going to try to read books that would count for all three readathons, for the most part.
This post is about the Anne-tober 2024 Readathon hosted by Chautona Havig.
Here's Chautona's announcement:
The prompts are in BINGO format and are quotes from Anne of Green Gables. I doubt I'll fill all 9 squares but if I get 5/9 completed I'll be happy.
I think I have it planned out that the books I'm reading for the Journey Through the Bible 2024 Readathon will work for Anne-tober as well. (unless I get super motivated and read more!) So, these books will look familiar if you've read my post about the Journey Through the Bible 2024.
Here are the 5 prompts I've picked out at this point:
"Call Me Anne With An E" =
an eBook
This could really be any book as I've become an eReader. I used to be a physical copy only reader but have come to love my Kindle!
"I Suppose It Was a Romantic Way to Perish"=
romantic sensibilities
I thought this book would work well as "LOVE" is actually in the title :)
"Some Books Are Best Left on the Shelf"=
A book that has been on your TBR a long time
This book has been on my Kindle for a long time. I'd even say a few years...
"I'm So Glad We Live in a World With Anne-tobers"=
Free Square
"It Is Ever So Much Easier to Be Good If Your Clothes Are Fashionable"=
A Great Cover
I think the cover of Brave is absolutely amazing!
So, let me know if you will be joining in Anne-tober 2024! I think it will be lots of fun :)
I recently discovered a wonderful youtuber, Katie at Paperbacks and Ponytails. I was so excited when she announced "Journey Through the Bible Readathon 3.0" that will take place during the entire month of October 2024!
Here's the super fun announcement:
I haven't participated in a readathon in YEARS but I just can't help myself from joining in this one :) After all, it is a TREASURE HUNT with lots of different prompts!
I spent some time this afternoon, looking at the prompts and looking through my TBR books and here is what I came up with:
Where Are You Going?
Babylon = A book with flowers on the cover
I didn't have to look far on my Kindle to see a book with flowers and what makes it even better for the prompt is that the "Blooms" is in the title :)
What Are You Searching For?
Temple of Jerusalem = Book with a building on the cover
I've had this on my TBR list for a while and have been meaning to read it. I love the structures that are on this cover.
Who Are You Going To Meet?
Tomb Raiders = Murder/Cozy Mystery
The only "Cozy Mystery" I had on my Kindle was "Apple Pile and Trouble" so no brainer there :)
Booby Traps
Spears = Blind Pick
I wasn't sure how to "Blind Pick" so I just closed my eyes and pointed to a book! I've never done that before so it should be fun :)
How Do You Escape?
A Book = Ask A Friend to Pick Your Book
We're going to be doing a "Buddy Read" during the readathon and voting is open now. You can check out the Community tab on Paperbacks and Ponytails. I asked to make sure this would count as "a friend pick" and Katie said yes. Right now, "Brave" by Mesu Andrews is winning. If one of the other books on the poll end up coming out on top, I'll update the post.
So what do you think? What do you think of my prompt choices and book choices? Have I enticed you to join in? Be sure to watch Katie's announcement video and I bet you'll be tempted!
