Another Month, Another Reading Challenge :D

A day late, but yesterday marked the start of Becca's Bookoplathon from Becca and the Books on YouTube. I printed everything out if you check out her announcement video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1elYZdgO40&t=415s

For my first roll, (from starting on the GO space) I got an 11, which landed me on books published or set in 1999 or before. I chose her recommendation from her Bookoplathon book recs video, Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb and I am reading it on my Kindle. Someone in the Discord chat (there is a Discord group for this and I love it! It is really active and really inviting-the invite linked in the announcement video) said it was a tad dense- so I did borrow the audiobook from Libby as well, just in case I need a little extra help.

But I am doing the roll as I go, because I am very much a mood reader, and need to be able to have freedom and no prompt restrictions, and this is perfect the prompts are so open and encompass every type of book and genre and sub-genre you can imagine. If you are the amazing types that can stick to a book for a prompt, you can roll with what you normally read. For example, you can roll 3 times to get three books, if you read more books a month, then roll 5 times- etc. I can't explain anything, so check her video out, everything is explained in detail.

I am only on page 24, but I am really interested the writing is so magical and the way the first chapter is written, gripping. I was hooked right away!

I am so excited to keep playing this game- it makes me want to read even faster!

I am also logging my reading minutes this month for the Trevor Project reading challenge! And I have a Fundraiser set up! total minutes read for the month if you only stick to the 20 mins a day is 600!
