I had SO MUCH FUN participating in this readathon. In fact, I think it's the most fun I've ever had regarding a readathon!
My main goal for this readathon was to complete all the challenges. There was a bonus challenge to read seven books in the week...being the overachiever I am, I tried reading seven books.
AND I DID!
The Reading Rush was such a success for me this year. I really tried to read as much as possible and get involved with the community. I'm really happy with how it went.
Charlie Bone - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Awake in the World - ⭐⭐⭐.5 | Charlie Bone and the Wilderness Wolf - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | When Dimple Met Rishi - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | The BFG - ⭐⭐⭐ | See You in the Cosmos - ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 | Peril en Pointe - ⭐⭐⭐ | Finding Sky - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I found a new favourite book - When Dimple Met Rishi! I LOVED it. Peril en Pointe, The BFG, and Awake in the World were quite disappointing though. -.-
1. Read a book with purple on the cover ✅
Awake in the World completed this challenge!
2. Read a book in the same spot the entire time ✅
This was a struggle. I like reading in libraries, parks, bookstores, my bed, my lounge...this challenge was hard. I eventually managed to complete this on the last day of the challenge! Peril en Pointe helped me achieve this challenge!
3. Read a book you meant to read last year ✅
(Most books). For this one I chose See You in the Cosmos!
4. Read an author’s first book ✅
When Dimple Met Rishi - SO GOOD AH!
5. Read a book with a non-human main character ✅
The BFG!
6. Pick a book that has five or more words in the title ✅
Charlie Bone and the Wilderness Wolf!
7. Read and watch a book to movie adaptation ✅
I read The BFG...I didn't get around to watching the movie. I'm hoping to get it from the library soon though!

I'm SO happy with how this round went! I participated in Twitter sprints, interacted with other participants, and strove to read as much as possible. 😀
I also read a total of 1853 pages!
My page count for each day! Don't ask me how I read so much on day six? I have no idea.
Did you participate in this? Did you have fun? Have you read any of these books?
