Book Traveling Thursdays

I am going to attempt to post the Book Traveling Thursdays topics. These will be short and sweet posts. To see the original group check out Book Traveling Thursdays on goodreads.

 

Here’s how it works:

• Pick a book! At the beginning of every month a list of themes will be posted. All you have to do is choose a book that fits the theme.
• In your blog post, the first thing you will want to include is an explanation of why your chosen book fits the theme.
• Look at covers from multiple editions and multiple countries for the book you chose.
• Finally, include pictures of the original cover, the cover from your country (if their are multiple covers from your country include all of them!), your favorite cover, and your least favorite cover.
• Be sure to tag your posts with booktravelingthursdays so we can all see each others posts!

Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon

Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon is only a few days away! It begins on Saturday April 29 at 7 a.m. CT and runs through Sunday April 30 at 7 a.m. CT. I am undecided if I will be reading for the whole time, but it’s not about reading for 24 hours straight, it’s about spending some time reading on that day and interacting with others. Search the #deweys24hourreadathon on Instagram to talk with others. There are a few challenges going around as well. I am hoping to use my Instagram too @kanksbooklife. Add me if you haven’t yet!


I thought I’d provide some suggestions/tips to help you through the readathon.

1. Let others know you are doing it so they can either participate or leave you alone.
2. Make sure you have snacks, drinks, food to avoid being interrupted.
3. Don’t do too much. If you normally don’t read for hours at a time, then don’t start now.
4. Get up and move around to avoid aches and pains.
5. Don’t choose a 500 page book. You might get bored and put in a reading slump.

What books are you planning to read?
