Books for Change discussion

Post your TBRs for this month's one week readathon that will last from 25th to 31st January!

After the readathon is completed, just post your TBR once again and write which all books you have completed from it. If you've read more than your goal was, mention those extra books too. We will calculate your percentage and declare the winner!

I'm not sure if I'll be able to do much, other than finish Acotar and start/finish Acomaf during that time because of exams :( I don't know the schedule yet or how many exams I'm going to do so I'm leaving this tbr very unambitious.

- Finish last 4 chapters of ACOTAR on the 25th (I'm going to be doing 7 a day from the 19th)

- Start and finish ACOMAF from the 26th till the 31st (10 chapters a day except for the last day)

You are allowed to read anything, since this is a monthly activity and everyone can't stick to prompts each month. So you can post your own TBRs in a list format.

Yes, I'm also starting school this week and I know it's not easy to read a lot, but we can try as much as possible!

It's okay, we'll be conducting this every month, you can join in later!

I'm definitely interested! I'm not sure about my TBR yet, so I was wondering is it ok if I post it a couple of days before the read-a-thon instead?
