Now that it is Summer a lot of challenges and read-a-thon’s are making its appearances. While I’ve seen a lot of great ones I have passed up quite a few of them. I can’t do everything. However once I saw that Ely and Val were hosting the Make Me Read It Read-a-Thon again I knew I had to participate.
With this read-a-thon you make a list of the books you’d like to read and put them into a poll. You then ask others to vote on it. The top voted book is the first book you read for the read-a-thon, and then the next, and so on. It is a lot of fun to see what you all choose.
The read-a-thon runs from August 6th to August 13th. You can read more about it here and here.
You can vote here.
For the life of me no poll would properly emb so we are going to have to try it this way.
I think i voted?! π Said something in dutch at the end…
I wanted to do a roadtrip readathon this month but i totally failed. Read one book this month so far… π That ain’t no road trip…

Okay, this is a seriously cool challenge/read-a-thon. If they ever do this again, I may have to try it out and see what happens, because I’d be intrigued to see what people think about what I’m reading! I’m curious to see how the votes stack up for you!

It is. They are doing this for the 4th year so there is a good chance they will do it again. Also there is still plenty of time to participate this time around. π

I’ll have to look into it a little more, then! Perhaps I might be able to sneak it in, if I can find the time!

I kind of wanted you to read Equal Rites, but I have been back and forth about reading Strange the Dreamer, and really want to hear your opinion on it, so I voted for that one. π

Wel een leuk idee dat je volgers kunnen stemmen voor wat je moet gaan lezen. Zo heb je natuurlijk geen TBR-jar en een onschuldige hand nodig. Ik ga waarschijnlijk tijdens de Oh My Bookathon nog eens een poging doen om zoveel mogelijk te lezen en al de rest even te laten voor wat het is. Behalve dan de afspraakjes die ik tijdens die dagen heb. Want ik heb met twee boekvriendinnen afgesproken. Dus dat telt in mijn ogen ook een klein beetje mee vermits we ongetwijfeld over boeken gaan praten. π
