Katie | 2360 comments You're going to need to break out a watch, your phone, or a timer for this one. The object of this game is to name as many books as you can in one minute. Ready, set, go!

If you participated in read-a-thon #2 back in 2016, compare your results this year to what you accomplished last time after you finish:

Like last year, I still tend to go for series. I thought of all the Harry Potter books immediately, but abandoned them once I realized the titles took too long to type out. 24 books here, most of which were classics probably because I did a blog post earlier today about classics. It's around the same number I got last year, depending how you count my "Harry Potter 1-7" last year.
