August Read-a-thon!
Here in the US, it’s almost back to school time. That being said, we are hosting a ‘Back-to-School’ read-a-thon to celebrate! This will start on August 20th and end on August 31st. The start and end times will be at midnight in your time zone. For this read-a-thon, you will be gathering items from the school supply list below.

How does one collect an item? You can do any of the following,

-Using the letters of the title, series title, and/or author’s name to spell out the item
-Using the book cover that has an image of the item (any edition counts)
-Finding the item in the text of the book. If the item is more than one word, you must find all words within the same book, but it doesn’t have to be in the same quote. Must provide % or page number and quote.

The goal is to finish as many of the prompts below as possible! Each prompt is repeatable. Any book that you finish between August 20th-31st is eligible to count, including graphic novels and comics. Please only post books once they have been FINISHED.

What you need to do in order to participate:
Step 1 - Sign up on this thread!
Step 2 - Post your progress each day!
Step 3 - Have fun and read lots of good books!

Anyone is welcome to join!
