Booktube-A-Thon 2014 To Be Read!

So, for those of you who haven't already heard, next week is the Booktube-A-Thon!! Booktubeathon is a reading marathon on Youtube created by Ariel Bissett, in which any viewer, blogger, or youtuber can join in. This year, it is also sponsored by the Book Depository. The reading marathon begins from midnight, anywhere in the world, on the 14th July, to midnight on the 20th July. For more information and videos, check out the Booktube-a-thon channel where Ariel Bissett explains everything else you may need to know: https://www.youtube.com/user/BookTubeAThon

Not only does this reading marathon involve reading as much as possible, but this year there are also some reading challenges for those involved!
1) Start and Finish a Series.
2) Read a Book with Pictures.
3) Read a Book from a Genre You've Read Least This Year.
4) Read a Book with Red on the Cover.
5) Read a Book to Movie Adaptation.
6) Read a Book Someone Else Picked Out for You.
7) Read at Least Seven Books.

For the start and finish a series challenge I shall be reading the Maze Runner Series which includes: The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure, and The Kill Order by James Dashner
For the read a book with pictures challenge I am planning to read the comic Pokemon Adventures Volume 2.
Read a book from a genre that you've read least this year; for this challenge I shall read a thriller novel as I haven't read any this year, and that will be Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
For the read a book with red on the cover, I will count The Scorch Trials by James Dashner, thereby accomplishing two tasks in one!
Read a book to movie adaptation; for this I will read Marley & Me by John Grogan.
A Book someone else chose for you: My friend recently told me to read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card so I will be reading that!
Read 7 books. Complete if I read the books I mention above!

So overall, for the week, I'm hoping to read:
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
The Scorch Trials by James Dashner
The Death Cure by James Dashner
The Kill Order by James Dashner
Pokemon Adventures Volume 2
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Marley & Me by John Grogan
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

I have to say, I won't be too disappointed if I don't complete all of these challenges for this Booktubeathon as I have a busy week ahead of me. Not only am I graduating, but I'm also moving across the country so a lot of my time will be taken up with those things. However, I will certainly try to keep up to date with all this reading.

Good luck to anyone else participating in this event! Let me know what you're planning to read!
