So, very recently I realized that you can't classify a period in your life as a "reading slump" if it lasts for over a year. I started my first year of college last fall, and since then I've done a LOT of academic reading, with very little time and motivation left over for casual reading. To try and inspire myself, I've decided to take a more active part in a bunch of read-a-thons so that I have goals and communities to encourage me to read! And so far it is kind of working? Kind of?
For those of you who don't know, "read-a-thons" are generally week/month-long events where a group of people get together to try and read as much as possible. These events usually have fun themes or challenges.
Last week I took part in The Reading Rush (formerly known as the Booktubathon), which is a week-long read-a-thon that I participate in annually. There were tons of goals and prompts, and I successfully completed eight of the challenges and read a total of five books!
Here is my wrap-up for the week!
