This year the annual reading challenge has been upgraded to the Reading Rush. The most important idea is to read seven books in seven days while hitting other specified challenges, and it has a website where you can track your reading: www. thereadingrush.com.
The Reading Rush takes place from July 22nd through the 28th. For more details, check out the site.
This will be my 5th year in this challenge, and I've even managed to pull in a few friends and family members to join me. Here's my current to-be-read list:
No. 1 A book with purple on the cover
Sal & Gabi Break the Universe by Carlos Hernandez
No. 2 A book in the same spot the whole time
Of Thee I Sing: A letter to my daughters by Barack Obama
No. 3 A book you meant to read last year
57 Secrets for Organizing Your Small Business by Julie Bestry, CPO®
No. 4 An author's first book
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
No. 5 A book with a non-human main character
Animal Farm by George Orwell
No. 6 A book with over five words in the title
Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea by Sarah Pinsker
No. 7 Read a book and watch the movie adapted from it
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins （an audiobook which we can hear the content）
If you try to read seven books in seven days, you are guaranteed to read more than you would have otherwise, which is a success in its own right. If you've never tried the Reading Rush before, this could be the year you start!
