BookBuddyAthon


So since I obviously can't get enough of read-a-thons I'm taking part on another.  This one was discovered by Heather, who is going to be my book buddy.

Here's my TBR pile and the challenges the books match up with below.




The Challenges

1) Choose three books and get your buddy to pick one from them for you to read
Heather chose The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting.  (The other two I had given her to choose from where Z is for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien and Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) by Sarah Mlynowski). This book is one I chose for a Listopia challenge on GoodReads and I'm looking forward to it.

2) Buddy read a book with your buddy
We decided to read a book we both got for OwlCrate.  Trouble is a Friend of Mine by Stephanie Tromly was the latest one and we were both really interested in it, since they compared it to Veronica Mars.  I'm a mystery lover at heart so hopefully this is a good one.

3) Read a book with your buddy's favourite colour on
I chose Fables since red is Heather's favorite color.  I had just read about this graphic novel, it sounded interesting and the red color was perfect.

4) Read a book your buddy gave 5 stars
Heather has been obsessed with Saga since she read it for a RAT last month.  All the talk has gotten me intrigued enough that I wanted to check it out. 

5) Read a book that you want to... just because
I'm leaving this open so I can decide as the week goes on.  I do have the next Morning Glories waiting on my bookshelf but we'll just see how the week goes.  

I love the challenges in this RAT and can't wait to get started!
