Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments This time, along with the claim your points we will have another challenge that is totally optional and just for fun!

I have created a small list of types of books to read and want to challenge you to see how many of the list you can complete!

For books to be counted for this challenge you must have started and finished them during the readathon, just like the Claim Your Points.

The List:

1. Read a new-to-you author.
2. Read a sequel to a series.
3. Read a book published in 2014. (If you have ARCs of books that will be published later this year, they can count as well.)
4. Read a book that is part of your favorite genre.
5. Read a book with a cover that is your favorite color!

*It has to be 5 different books.*

Good luck and have fun! :D
