600 in a Summer Challenge!
Hi all! (Yes! I didn't start a thread with the word okay!) So I got an idea. For summer. Yes, I'm aware it's only May, but I'm excited about this idea and I want to do it now. So. Yeah.
Anyway. The idea of this is to be like a summer reading challenge. You don't have to read 600 pages in a summer if you don't want to. I really only called it 600 in a summer because it sounded catchy. You can do a 200 in a summer or a 480 in a summer. You could even do more than 600 if you wanted to! The point of this thread is not to be stressful summer reading. It's a thread to get some book recommendations and geek out about the books you are reading over the summer! You can fill out a form if you're looking for book recommendations, or if you already know what you want to read this summer, you can just say "I'm joining." The "page range" part of the form is not the amount of pages you are looking for in a book, it's how many pages you want to read overall this summer. Here's the form:
Name:
Page range:
What genre books do you like?:
What are your favorite books/serieses?:
Do you like rereading books?:
You can read other people's forms and reply to their comment saying something like "Oh, I bet you'd like ____ by ____."
I think that's all! Bye!

Have you heard of the DragonKeeper Chronicles, by Donita K. Paul? It's a Christian allegory series set in a world with fancy-dressed doneels, ugly grawligs, and, yes, dragons.
~Still deciding whether I'll join this or not, but I'm happy to give recommendations!

I will definately participate in this!
Name: pangolin
Page range: 2,000
What genre books do you like?: Fantasy, dystopian, action, mystery
Wht are your favorite books/serieses?: The Harry Potter series, the Hunger Games series (well technically it's a trilogy but I'm counting The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), When You Reach Me, The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Raymie Nightingale, Lousiana's Way Home, Beverly, Right Here- Okay I'm going to have to stop myself right there or otherwise I'll fill up the rest of this post with books I likes. I think it's safe to say that I like all books I've read.
Do you like rereading books?: Yep. I plan on getting most of my word count from re-reading the Harry Potter series (there's a solid 600 pages in the Goblet of Fire alone). Wait, would it could if I re-read a book, or do the pages have to be stuff we've never read before?

Read the Seer and the Sword! It's by Victoria Hanley, and it's SO GOOOOD!!! The first few chapters start a little slow, but skim until you meet Landen and you'll pretty much be hooked. I literally read the entire thing in one day.

You should also try The Missing Piece of Charlie O'Reilly by Rebecca K. S. Ansari! It's really really really awesome and is one of my favorite books of all time. It's a mix of fantasy and mystery. Also, re-reading books count just as much as trying new books do. This is just so you can get some reccomendations.

I said 600+ pages for my goal, but I just finished A Series of Unfortunate Events which was around 3,300 pages so I'm going go change my goal to 6,000 pages since I'm already halfway there
