Day 23: Space

What better book to use for this prompt than the only science fiction book I’ve really enjoyed in recent history. The Martian by Andy Weir

Day 24: Drinks

So, I don’t usually eat or drink anything while I read (can’t risk spilling something on my pretty pages), I’m still going to share my favorite drinks in general. Pretty boring right now, really: lime flavored sparking water, coffee (and the occasional PSL), and tea, which right now I’m hooked on Teavana’s Pumpkin Oolong. Very fall and very lovely! Perfect for my fall Readathon breaks!

Day 25: Comics Craze

Comics are the best for a Readathon.  They are short, quick, and attention grabbing.  You can blow through a few issues or a trade paperback or two, and feel like you’ve really accomplished something during the readathon.

My pick for comics for the Dewey’s Readathon will be the new Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series.  I’ve loved Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys since I was a little kid, and I was thrilled to find a new comic series to dive into starring my favorite detectives.  I’ve been saving the issues for a binge read.

Day 26: Short Stories

I love short stories for Readathon a. They are the perfect way to switch things up and still may progress on your goals. Here’s a short story collection by an amazing author to maybe fill in some reading gaps. 

What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi

Day 27: Snacks

So, the next prompt is snacks. I don’t really eat snacks (or anything) while I read. I’m one of those people that tries to keep her books as pristine as possible, even after they’ve been read, so I can’t risk getting food or stains on the pages. 

While I’m not reading, however, my current favorite snack is Boulder Canyon Avocado Oil Potato Chips. So. Good. The best are the Malt Vinegar and Sea Salt flavor. 

See you guys tomorrow with another prompt!

Day 28: Red

With today’s prompt the first thing that came to mind was my latest read. The new Archie comic series is so much better than I expected. I’m really loving it. Volume 4 has been the most surprising of the lot so far, and I will definitely be keeping up to date with this series as time goes on. 

Day 29

Today’s prompt is a short book. My pick: Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I’m choosing this book, because even though it seems like a heavy subject, this is a really great read. This small little book is full of great information, and while it took very little time to read, I feel like I’ve learned a lot from it.
