🏴‍☠️ Scallywagathon 🏴‍☠️

August 14, 2020August 4, 2020by amyleighreads1 Comment

When I came across the announcement video for the Scallywagathon I couldn’t help but want to participate so here I am lol… As usual I will be picking a book to correspond to each prompt and depending on which path I choose I will inevitably end up with four books that I should complete. I’m not going to pressure myself to finish them all though, it’s just about participating and promoting a fun readathon! For any information please check out their website HERE!

The 2020 round of The Reading Rush will be starting next week from Monday 20th – Sunday 26th July. I participated for the first time last year and really enjoyed this readathon, I found it to be an incredibly fun and inclusive with a great community vibe. To watch the announcement video and hear all the challenges click HERE. I am going to try my best to complete the seven books, but I know there are a couple of books on my TBR that can actually fit multiple prompts so I may end up doubling up on a few… we’ll see how I go!

The Prompts and my TBR for the Reading Rush is:

🎲Becca’s Bookopoly Readathon🎲

July 13, 2020July 14, 2020by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment

I made the last minute decision about three hours already into the readathon to participate, which is pretty much how I roll. For all the information about the Readathon see Becca’s announcement video HERE. I have been watching her Bookopoly TBR videos pretty much since she started them so I was only too happy to participate in the first round! I knew I wouldn’t be able to complete all 8 of the prompts but I am happy I did end up finishing four books which was pretty much the overall goal.

The first prompt I chose was the Chance card pick from the 2020 board

The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai

50179542._SX318_SY475_

For the second book I was able to combine both prompts of Culturally Diverse & Reader Recommends

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

48568247

The third prompt I chose was a Mystery/Thriller from the 2019 board

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

The fourth prompt I chose was also from the 2019 board for a contemporary/romance

The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa
