It's that time of year again: the Holiday BookTube-A-Thon is upon us. For those of us in the blogging/vlogging world, these reading challenges are another opportunity to feel miserable about our lack of reading productivity and set ambitious goals that we know there is only a minute chance of achieving. But, you know, it's the holidays and *MIRACLES* and whatever, so . . . . yeah.
Anyway. This year's Holiday BookTube-A-Thon has three challenges:
- Read a book with read and green on the cover (more than a little Christo-centric, but WHATEVER)
- Read a book you wanted to read this year
- Read a gifted/ recommended book
The Opposite of Loneliness by Marina Keegan [a book you wanted to read this year]-- I believe I have owned a copy of this in hardback since the summer and I have been meaning to read it for a long time. Several months ago, I read the titular essay and enjoyed it. So, I have high hopes for the rest of Keegan's collection of essays and short stories.
Bad Feminist by Roxanne Gay [a gifted/recommended book]-- I read about Gay's book in Bust a while ago and the essay collection had been on my mental TBPOH (to be placed on hold) since then. About a week ago, my mother--who works in a library, too-- recommended the book and placed it on hold for me. My mother has an otherworldly ability to read my mind . . . and place books on hold for me.
Never Have I Ever: My Life (So Far) Without a Date by Katie Heaney-- I started reading this book last week and I didn't have a chance to complete it before I passed out at five o'clock on Thursday evening. Since I was already in the process of reading the book at the time the project began I will be finishing it this weekend.
Goodness help me; it would be nice to get through a whole TBR!
What will you be reading this weekend? Do you have any weekend reading goals? Let me know in the comments below.
