Since I didn't do a Read-A-Thon last month, I'm going to be starting this Read-A-Thon earlier this month.

Start Date: January 7th 2017
End Date: January 14th 2017

Challenges:

1. A Blue/Purple book (January's Color Challenge)
2. A Book you meant to read last year
3. A short book (whatever 'short' means to you)
4. A recent purchase/ gift
5. A Book that's been recommended to you more than once

Note: you can combine as many challenges as you want, since this is a laid back Read-A-Thon.

Sophie | 139 comments As well as the two books I mentioned earlier I also read 272 pages of The Wind Singer (Wind on Fire trilogy, #1) by William Nicholson
which counts for challenge 5, a book that's been recommended to you more than once.

In total I read just under 3 books, 776 pages and completed 3/4 of 5 challenges (depending on whether you count The Wind Singer seeing as I didn't finish it during the read-a-thon). :D
