Pageturning Reading Challenge


posted by SweetSwan on

No comments



Hey guys! My friend is re-reading Harry Potter... those books are huge!! How can anyone reach a goal of 50 books in a year when a bunch of books on your tbr list is 700+ pages? Well, we decided to do a "Pages Per Year" Challenge instead!

Since its already the end of September, were just doing half a year... from this Monday, Sept. 24 to Dec. 31.

Lovely Lit's Goals: 5,000 pages
A Place for Book's Goals: 5,000 pages

If you wanna join, just leave a comment below! I can make a widget for your sidebar and add you to the list!!

Rules:
-All pages count...even unfinished books!
-For ebooks, use math to determine your page count! (ex. A book with 100 pages in paperback = 1 page per % completed -- A book with 250 pages in paperback = 2.5 pages per % complete)
-Have fun!

#WWReadathon
 Hey How is everyone's reading coming? Ok. As promised here is my lovely challenge!

The Challenge

I was having some issues finding my own challenge, so this one is from Michelle at Book Briefs. Its quite simple and super fun!!! Thanks to April at Shelf Confessions for helping me construct it.

For this challenge you will be making one sentence using only book titles. You cant add or leave out any words. You can use as many books as you'd like. Your sentence will probably be silly but that makes it even more fun! Just make sure its a real sentence. Subject & Verb! Here is my example:

A beautiful, dark witch song crossed the haunted, wicked woods.
Wow! that sentence sounds scary...sort of like youre lost in the woods...then you start hearing things.. :/ Here are my books:



Woo not too hard huh? If you have a blog, you can make a post with your sentence and book covers then link it in the comments. If you dont have a blog, just add your sentence to the comments then list the book titles and authors you used! Also, since our event here has a twitter tag, as a extra entry, tweet your sentence with the tag (#WWReadathon) and url to this post then add a direct link to your tweet in a seperate comment!

This challenge is TIMED!! Yes thats right...you will only have a few hours to complete this and get your entries in! The challenge starts at 4pm est and will end at 10 pm est. That gives you 6 hours. I will choose the winner promptly at 10:15 pm!! If you are having trouble please feel free to tweet me at @Alove4Lit !

Prizes

We will have 1 winner that will be chosen randomly from everyone who completes the challenge. The winner will get to choose one paranormal/supernatural/horror book of their choice from Book Depository.

**For more info on the Wonderfully Wicked ReadAThon and a schedule of events, Check out Aprils post over at Shelf Confessions.**

Here is the Signups for the Prize Packs:




Oh and before i forget, if you want to follow along on twitter, try going using TweetChat at http://t.co/8rnINl1L I found it to be soo easy!
