My online
book club told me about this read-a-thon based off of an earlier read-a-thon
created by G from Book Roast. This
read-a-thon is based off of the OWL exams from Harry Potter. Hopefully, you know what that is, but if not…put
down your computer right now, go to any store that sells books, and buy
them. All of them. Then don’t do anything else until you have
read them all. Once you are done, come
back and we’ll talk.

I am so
freaking excited to do this read-a-thon!!!
I will be updating the categories as I choose the books for them, but
give my overachiever tendencies, I will definitely be trying for an Outstanding.
If you wanna join in, feel free.
I am planning to finish this thing by October 1, 2018 – just in time to
start some bookish Halloween challenges, but anyone can join at any time.

This sounds like fun!
You have no idea! I get to do bookish challenges by reading books. Then I get to check things off of a to-do list and get a grade? My type-A, overachieving personality is about to pass out from joy.
This sounds awesome! Good luck on your OWLS 🙂
LOL Thanks! It's like a dream come true!
