What is The Book Junkie Trials Read-a-Thon?
The Book Junkie Trials is a month-long read-a-thon hosted by Rachael Marie Book Junkie. Per her YouTube Announcement, "The Book Junkie Trials is a Month-long Readathon & Competitive event in July, for all the bookish community, with 2 ways to play via The Quest for The Bookie Grail &/or through the Competitive Championship Trials".
How does The Book Junkie Trials work?
As mentioned above, the read-a-thon is taking place the entire month of July 2019 and has two ways to participate. In addition, there will be micro-challenges throughout the month to earn your team extra points.
1. The Quest for The Bookie Grail is a team challenge. There are four different teams that you could become part of: Bards, Outlaws, Magi, or Scribes. You can either take the Personality Team Quiz created by the fabulous Rachael or you can CHOOSE which team you'd like to be a part of. Each team has it's own set of challenges and quest locations that must be completed in order to earn the earn The Bookie Grail. Most of the read-a-thon announcements will be completed via Twitter. Make sure you add your team name to your display name (i.g.: Amanda #MAGE).
2. The Competitive Championship Trials is a completely new level of adventure and challenge! You complete your team's quest for The Bookie Grail and then complete the other team's challenges too! There is a special prize for completing this challenge for the 2020 Read-aThon.

My Team: The Magi
This is the team that I received when taking the Personality Team Quiz. I wasn't surprised and was glad as I am looking forward to the challenges. Plus, I get to start 3 days earlier.
Each team has their own individual map as well to go along with the challenges. I am impressed with all of the work that has been put into this fabulous read-a-thon.
The Mage Challenges
*Orc Grove - Read a book that is gruesome, gory, or gritty. For this challenge I chose Wicked Saints by Emily Duncan
*Ol' Pirate Cove - Read a book that takes place, at least in part, at sea. For this challenge I chose The Lifeboat Clique by Kathy Parks.
*Glimmer - Fit in a book with a beautiful or colorful cover. For this challenge I chose Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson.
*Dragon Isle - Read a book that features dragons. For this challenge I chose Dragonsong by Ann McCaffrey. This is also being used for my weakness "One of their spells went awry, and now they are forced to read a book outside of their comfort zone".
*Bookie Grail - Read the group book: Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I've decided to listen to this one on Audiobook as the rest of the books will be physical copies.

Adventure On,
