\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Reading Rush is taking place from 20 – 26 July 2020 and the prompts for this round are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/ Read a book with a cover that matches the colour of your birth stone.
2\/ Read a book that starts with the word \u201cThe\u201d.
3\/ Read a book that inspired a movie you\u2019ve already seen.
4\/ Read the first book you touch.
5\/ Read a book completely outside of your house.
6\/ Read a book in a genre that you\u2019ve always wanted to read more of.
7\/ Read a book that takes place on a different continent than where you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though 3 days late, the readathon has already started for me and I’ve already read two books. Here’s the rest of what I plan on reading (book titles linked to Goodreads): <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/ The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read a book that matches the colour of my birth stone<\/em> – my edition features several colours so this works just fine, right? Being a bit creative with the prompts here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\/ The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read a book that starts with the word \u201cThe\u201d<\/em> – This one I may deviate a bit from as I’ve just received a book I’m a tad bit more excited to read in the mail today, but we’ll see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\/ Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read a book that inspired a movie you\u2019ve already seen<\/em> – this one was a bit a struggle to come with, endless scrolling of Goodreads later, I remembered I did like the movie but never got around to the book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4\/ Purge by Sofi Oksanen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the first book you touch <\/em>– wasn’t sure how to choose this, I ended up making a pile of the books I want to read by the end of the year, closed my eyes and touched Purge at random. It has been on my TBR for a while so this may be a good time to give it a shot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5\/ Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read a book completely outside of your house<\/em> – doubling up on this one as I’m listening to the audiobook which is relatively short so my plan is to listen to it whenever I walk my dog this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6\/ An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read a book in a genre that you\u2019ve always wanted to read more of<\/em> – psychological thrillers are definitely something I want to read more of this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7\/ A Wall of Light by Edeet Ravel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read a book that takes place on a different continent than where you live<\/em> – I live in Europe and this takes in Israel, it also find its place on this list as it’s one of a few remaining books I have physical copies of at my current location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus<\/em>: Every year until now, there’s been a challenge to read 7 books in 7 days and because I’m not a big fan of some of the prompts, I decided I wanted to give that a shot and make it a personal challenge for myself. Book number 7 (since I’m doubling up with Breakfast at Tiffany’s) is Down and About in London and Paris by George Orwell<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
