Contemporary-A-Thon TBR

Hello to all my dear book lovers !!!!!! Still no book review posts from me, because I have yet to pick up a book. This slump is killing me. So, I have decided to follow one idea that many bloggers have suggested to get out of reading slumps… participate in a readathon. Let me try this one and hopefully, I will have a good time reading books again.

For those who don’t know, the Contemporary-A-Thon is a readathon where you read only contemporary books for a week. The readathon is hosted by Chelsea, Julie and Natasha from Booktube and has 7 challenges to fulfill. The readathon is going to be from September 17-23rd. 7 books might be too ambitious for me, so I’m going to stack up on the challenges, so that I can finish them while reading fewer books.

Let’s take a look at the challenges and the books I plan to read. Obviously, I’m a mood reader, so I might end up reading something totally different.

CHALLENGE 1: READ A BOOK WITH ORANGE ON THE COVER

CHALLENGE 7: READ A PREDICTED 5-STAR READ

I’ve become a huge fan of Alice Oseman’s writing after reading Radio Silence and Heartstopper, so I hope this book will also be a 5-star read for me. And that cover is really bright and beautiful.

CHALLENGE 2: READ A DARK/SPOOKY CONTEMPORARY

+

CHALLENGE 5: READ A CONTEMPORARY THAT HAS YOUR INITIALS SOMEWHERE ON THE COVER

+

CHALLENGE 6: READ A NEW-TO-YOU AUTHOR

I never read spooky stuff, so I am going to settle for this book which seems full of political intrigue, conspiracies and espionage. I’ve also never read any books by Tal Bauer before and I hope I will enjoy this one. And I promise, you will find both my initials S and K somewhere on that cover 😉

CHALLENGE 3: READ A DIVERSE CONTEMPORARY

+

CHALLENGE 4: READ A CONTEMPORARY IN A NON-TRADITIONAL FORMAT

The obvious choice for a book in a non-traditional format is a graphic novel. And after enjoying the first two issues of Fence, I can’t wait to dive back into the world of fencing in Issue 3.
