Day 1 of Our Readathon Countdown





We're calling them "mini-challenges" and they'll help to keep us motivated!
Here are a few teasers:
Mini-Challenge 1: The Animal Companion Challenge
Task:
Share a photo of your reading buddy, whether it's a furry friend, a feathered companion, a scaly lizard, or a tank of tetras. Tell us how your pet inspires you to read!
Mini-Challenge 2: Bookish Trivia
Task:
Test your book knowledge with our book-related questions (featured books that are recommended by our participants) throughout the day. Be the first to answer correctly and win a special bookish prize.
Mini-Challenge 3: Shelfie Showcase
Task:
Snap a picture of your bookshelf and tell us which book you plan to read next. Share your reading list, and let's see who has the most colorful, organized, or unique bookshelf!
Mini-Challenge 4: Reading Spot Roulette
Task:
Take a journey with your book! In each hour's post, we'll suggest a different reading spot – it could be a cozy nook, a park bench, or even under the stars. Snap a pic of your book in that spot and share it with us.
Mini-Challenge 5: Kinfolk Book Recommendation
Task:
Recommend a book that has touched your heart, whether it's a story of friendship, family, or love. Tell us why it's special to you.
