Bookish Nerds Readathon discussion

Hey Guys,

This is my first time hosting a Readathon so I would like some co hosts to help me and any post ideas to go along side the Readathon and the reading challenges :)

Hope you enjoy this idea!

I would love to cohost with you!

Thanks Hannah :)

@Heather Yay!! Do you have a blog where you can do a discussion post like 10 most anticipated reads?

I have a blog, and I'd love to co-host! But you'll have to tell me what to do, I've never done something like this before :)

Me neither :) I see what I can come up with!

Oh cool, we can be lost together then :P

Lol :p

I think one of the posts should be most anticipated reads for January, another one could be books with red on the cover because garnet is the birthstone for January.

Top 10 Winter Books... Just something that might go along with January, Winter or maybe to do with one of the challenges :)

The posts will not be posted everyday, it will be scattered throughout the two weeks but hopefully you will like my ideas so far....

I've also thought of Top 10 Series/Books you would like to finish by the end of the year.

Those are good ideas :) I love the birthstone idea! Maybe for the challenges we could recommend 5 books to fit each one? I don't want to do a winter post though, because it's summer over here, but you still should :)

You can do a summer one while we do a winter one :)

That's a great idea to choose 5 books :)

Yeah, good idea :)

But I was thinking of one post per host and not all of us doing the same post.

Yeah, that would make more sense. So there are at least two of us, maybe three? Should we sort out who's doing what closer to the time?

I think so because we might get more host requests but if there is one you want to do then you can sign up for that post and no one else can take it.

I'll do the summer one, but other than that I don't have any preferences

Okay :) We need to wait then :)

Okay :)

I honestly don't have a Top 5 Winter books but oh do I have the series! My blog is www.pinkzebrareads.blogspot.com I haven't posted on there in awhile but I am ready to get it back rolling!

If you don't have any p, you could do books you haven't read yet or books that just look wintery. It could be anything.

okay :)

If you want me to change it, I could swap it with one of my ones :)

I can 5 Five wintery reads! Did you mean post our TBR for the readathon on the blog or for January?

TBR for the readathon. Like books you would like to get read :)
