Day One challenge is live on my channel! I did the Cover Redesign and got paint on my desk! https://youtu.be/9qWvkGCRtQA
How'd you do with your BYORAT? Let us know here!
How's it going? I want to know!
Here's your chance to share links to your challenges! Let us see how you're doing!
Share your BYORAT TBR's here!
Again, not mandatory, but fun. If you don't have a YouTube channel you can do the challenges as photos on your blog, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, whatever. Same as above, choose five, one for each day. Please do not post links on this page, only questions or comments. Use the Link Up section for sharing your posts.
1) Socialize (aka make a video with another person: family, friend, whoever)
The topic of this video is up to you, as long as it's bookish. Play a game, take a challenge, gush about a mutually loved book, or for the brave, debate your bookish differences (Peeta vs. Gale, anyone?). Whatever.
2) Bookish MASH
Remember that game MASH you played in junior high where you and JTT ended up with 8 kids living in a shack paid for by your job as a secret agent? Well throw some bookish facts in there to make your fictional life even better!
3) Sequel Synopsis
Share what you think should happen in the sequel of a book that doesn't actually have a sequel.
4) Book Art
Take those books off your shelf and make them into something pretty! Stack them to make a castle, lay them out in the shape of a puppy, build a book flower...Use your imagination to add a twist to the classic book tower.
5) Cover Redesign
That book with the cover that you HATE? Here's your chance to fix it.
6) Fictional Character Interview
Get creative and ask a character what you've always wanted to know. Why was Snape so horrible to Harry? Why can't America make up her mind in the Selection? Ask those tough questions and let us all know the answers.
7) Foreign Review
Give us a review of a book you read this week with an accent. I don't care if you can't do a recognizable accent to save your life (that's me, by the way), make something up. That will make it even better.
8) Travel Advisor
Give us a commercial for your favorite fictional destination letting travelers know why they should come there. Should I go to Mordor? How do I get there? What's the weather like in Forks this time of year?
9) Love an Author
This one might be my favorite. You're going to take a moment to really thank one of your favorite authors. Send them a nice email, or even an old school letter (bonus points!). Take the time to do something a little more than a nice tweet.
10) Take it Outside!
Film your update outside in the fresh air. Bonus points for actually reading outside, too.
These are certainly not mandatory, but they make BYORAT more interesting. Choose up to 5, based on your reading habits. You can choose your favorites or, as I'm going to do, put them all in a hat and randomly choose 5.Please do not post links on this page, only questions or comments. Use the Link Up section for sharing your posts.
Read an entire book without putting it down
Read a book that's been on your TBR for, like, forever
Read a banned book (here's a list or two from the ALA)
Read a book who's cover is your least favorite color
Read a book with 400+ pages
Read a book with your name on the cover (either actually there, like the author name, or made up from letters in the title and author's name)
Read 5 books during the -thon
Read a full trilogy or series
Read a book you most recently acquired
Read a book that everyone has read and talks about, but you haven't just read yet
There are 4 steps to Building Your Own Read-a-Thon:1) Choose your dates. Any 5 consecutive days between August 2015 and August 2016 that fit your scheduled.
2) Choose your Reading Challenges. Choose up to 5 from the list, based on your your desired difficulty. (Full list in the Reading Challenges discussion)
3) Choose your Video Challenges. Choose 5 from the list and post one every day. You can also do this as a photo challenge on your blog, Instagram, Tumblr, wherever. (Full list in the Video Challenges discussion).
4) Get to it! Share when and where you're doing BYORAT so we can follow along. Use #BYORAT in your posts so we can find them. Leave any general questions down below.
