Spring Read-a-thon March 20 - June 20, 2022

[Karen]

Welcome to our Spring seasonal read-a-thon. This read-a-thon runs from March 20, 2022 – June 20, 2022.

For every book that you read with a title starting with one of the letters in the bonus word give yourself 1 point, if any section (first, middle, last) of the author's name starts with a letter in the bonus word give yourself 2 points. The most you can have for any one book is 3 bonus points, 1 for title and 2 for author.

For example (if WINTER were our bonus word):

Nothing Lasts Forever by Sidney Sheldon = 1 point for title
OR
Fire in the Blood by Dale Ibitz = 2 bonus points for author last name
OR
Winter Swans by Danica Winters = 1 point for title, 2 points for author = 3 bonus points

Be sure to tally your pages and bonus points separately. The top 3 people with the most bonus points at the end of the challenge will get to choose a bonus word for the next quarter. NOTE: Bonus point winners cannot win in two read-a-thon's in a row, to give more people the chance to choose bonus words.

To sign up simply start yourself a post to track what you've read during the read-a-thon. Edit your post throughout the read-a-thon to let everyone know which books you've read & your total number of pages.
Here is a template for your post:

I have several words in mind and I should've asked this earlier on than now, but does the word need to be associated with Spring or can it be a reading/books related word? Can it be a pun word related to a holiday in the spring?

[Karen]

Hi Robin, it is whatever you want it to be. You can pick whatever you want.

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

Karen wrote: "Hi Robin, it is whatever you want it to be. You can pick whatever you want."

Bonus word is: Egg-spectations

Awesome!!!

Being avid readers, most of us have heard of, if not read, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I hope this spring brings you Great Egg-spectations. Pun intended lol

Have an awesome spring seasonal readathon with some egg-ceptional books. For those who celebrate, Happy Easter : )

I'm not good at just spouting out things off the top of my head either LOL I had to put some thought behind it and I made a list of several words to choose from.

But I like the one you chose!!!!

The bottom line is: Any word in the dictionary is acceptable. I really hadn't thought of "pun" words before, to be honest. If I am choosing a word, I typically try to find a word with the most useable letters; for example, I like to have the following letters: s,t,r,e,a,n,d. The more letters available, the easier to obtain bonus points.

Having said that, I do see the appeal of challenging oneself, with fewer letters.

Just to clarify: Pun words are acceptable, and the word does not have to reflect the season.

Thanks Karen : ) Your explanation helps a lot! I started thinking about words around the time the challenge was ending just in case I got to pick. I contemplated a word with the most common letters but then thought, this is a challenge after all, not to easy but not to hard either. And then my mind said, well maybe it has to be associated with the season/theme for the challenge duration. Yes, I was seriously over-thinking all this lol. Then I thought oh a pun word would be fun.

One of my bookshelves sits directly in front of me so I just briefly scanned through the spines and decided that titles and authors start with every letter of the alphabet. I am a mood reader therefore I don't plan out my books for challenges or what I want to read for the month. I just read whatever and hope that I can fit the books into my challenges LOL

Thanks for the clarification Karen.. Looking for words and this sounds cool and season related.

[Robin (Saturndoo)]

I am updating my challenge and using my own bonus word. Some of the books I have read don't earn any bonus which lead me to this question--Are we supposed to list every book we read for the duration of the challenge even if it doesn't earn bonus points? OR can we just list the books we read that earn points--which is what I did last month?

Just an FYI--I absolutely loved your posting layout last season. It so neat and clean looking. I hope you don't mind that I borrowed it for this season : ) and made a few changes to it.

Hi Robin, It's up to you about listing every book, but I find it easier to count up bonus points when they are listed.

The read-a-thons are for each individual. We can each decide how they are utilized. what kind information we want to include. I like to see the lists, so I can pick up new books to read (I always want to know what people are reading).

[Karen]

So far two of the three winners answered:

1. Eggs-spections
2. Spring-tacular
3. Hope Springs Eternal

[Karen]

Alyana, do you want spring-tacular or Hope Springs Eternal?

[Alyana]

Karen wrote: "Alyana, do you want spring-tacular or Hope Springs Eternal?"

I'll go with Hope Springs Eternal 😊

Alyana wrote: "Karen wrote: "Alyana, do you want spring-tacular or Hope Springs Eternal?"

Hi Alyana, someone already used spring-tacular, so I will add both.

[Karen]

We have 5 bonus words this season:

1. Eggs-spections
2. Spring-tacular
3. Hope Springs Eternal
4. Tremendous
5. Rainstorm

[Cindy]

Sorry I'm late on the word but I choose RAINSTORM
