No.484: February Readathons and More Literary Fun | The Big White Farmhouse

This post contains affiliate links.

I’ve been watching a lot of “Booktube” lately while I fold laundry or wash dishes because it’s a happy escape and most importantly, non-stressful and non-political!  There are so many interesting people out there with such a wide range of favorite genres.  Not only do these channels gush about books, but they also share lots of unique ways to read books.  For February, I’m joining in on the fun!

Historathon

Historathon is a month-long readathon featuring historical fiction.  The hosts created a Bingo board with nine different prompts and I was able to find five that fit out of the books I already own.  (I did splurge and buy the group read book.)  Here’s what I’ve got:

The Booktube Spin

Another fun one that I couldn’t resist!  With this challenge, you pick 20 books from your TBR and list them by number.  I tried to pick my list with books that have been on my shelves for awhile:

The creator of the challenge spun a wheel and the arrow landed on…number 15!  The challenge is to read this one book by March 31.

Buzzword Reading Challenge

The prompt for February in the Buzzword Reading Challenge is “a color” and I’m planning to use Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan (mentioned above) for this.  Win/win!

24in48 Readathon

So the question remains: how can I make the time to get to all of these great novels?  The 24in48 Readathon may be helpful!  This is a two-day reading “sprint” where you aim to read 24 out of 48 hours.  There is no way I’ll be able to read anywhere near that number, but I do think it would be fun to put the screens away for the weekend and dig into a pile of books.

Linking up again with Rosie!
