#TBRTakedown 4.0

#TBRTakedown 4.0 (June 20-26)

I'm excited to be taking part in #TBRTakedown 4.0 on Twitter!  I've been in a reading slumpt this year so anything that helps me get more books read is a good thing in my book.


There are some challenges for this RAT which helped me pick my reading list.

1. On TBR Shelf for over a year - Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
2. Unread Sequel - Lola and the Boy Next door by Stephanie Perkins
3. First in a series - Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
4. Out of my comfort zone - The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
5. Most recent book haul - Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

Let the reading begin!

Make Me Read It Readathon Sign-ups - Help me pick what to read!



Ely @ Tea & Titles and Val @ The Innocent Smiley will again be hosting the Make Me Read It Readathon! Basically, this readathon allows your friends and audience to vote for what you’ll be reading. This year, the readathon will be from July 9th to the 16th! You can sign up here. So see below for more on the readathon from Val’s post.

What Is This Readathon About?

Look at the books you own, either physical, e-book or ones you’ve borrowed from the library and pick out a few you really want to read, or feel like you should read. It’s up to you how many you pick, personally I’d pick a few more than you expect to be able to read in a week. Example: if you think you’ll only read two, pick out five books or if you think you can read seven, pick out ten.
Make a list of these books on your blog, or make a video, or a Goodreads shelf or post a picture on Instagram—whatever is easiest for you. Then get friends, other bloggers/booktubers etc. to vote on which books you HAVE to read.
When the readathon comes along, you read the books in the order of most votes. For example, if one book gets 10 votes—you read that first, then the one that got 7 and so on. If there’s a tie, then it’s your preference. The goal is to read as many as possible.

Please vote and help me choose what to read!
