FIRST READ-A-THON: Make Me Read It Read-a-thon (VOTE IN THE POLL PLEASE)

So a popular thing to take part of in the book blogging or video community is a "read-a-thon" and to date I have never participated in one. All that changes now! Ely of "Tea & Time" and Val of "The Innocent Smiley" are hosting the "Make Me Read It read-a-thon" and I have decided that this will be my first one that I join in.

What is #MakeMeRead?

"Look at the books you own, either physical, e-book or ones you’ve borrowed from the library and pick out a few you really want to read, or feel like you should read. It’s up to you how many you pick, personally I’d pick a few more than you expect to be able to read in a week. Example: if you think you’ll only read two, pick out five books or if you think you can read seven, pick out ten.

Make a list of these books on your blog, or make a video, or a Goodreads shelf or post a picture on Instagram—whatever is easiest for you. Then get friends, other bloggers/booktubers/bookstagrammers etc. to vote on which books you HAVE to read.

When the readathon comes along, you read the books in the order of most votes. For example, if one book gets 10 votes—you read that first, then the one that got 7 and so on. If there’s a tie, then it’s your preference. The goal is to read as many as possible."

When is it?

This year the read-a-thon will be running from August 6th through to August 13th. You can start reading as soon as it hits 12am in your timezone, or whenever you’d like.

My Poll:

I have chosen 8 books, since I tend to be a slow reader and know that I won't get through this many of these books. I wanted to also give you some options to chose from for me to read. These are all books that I have had on my shelf and that I really want to read, so don't worry about if I don't want to read them or not. Just vote and let me know what you think I should read first and then I will continue going down the list during the read-a-thon until I read however many I get around to reading!
