The Reading Rush 2020 Day 3 I watched Charlotte's Web recently and was reminded of the fact that I have not read the book it is based on in eons. The third prompt, that of reading a book that inspired a movie that you have already seen seemed to be perfect for it. The copy I have has lovely illustrations by Garth Williams that are making the reading experience so very much better. . . . . . . . #preetisunaina #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #lovereading #instareads #bookcommunity #instabook #igreads #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #readingchallenge #tbr #readinglist #readathon #EBWhite #CharlottesWeb #middlegradebooks #thereadingrush2020 #thereadingrush #readingrush2020 #readingrush #scholasticbooks #scholastic #booktoscreen #booktoscreenadaptation #booktomovie #movieadaptation https://www.instagram.com/p/CC84ugAggCY/?igshid=59yqsh1svkal

The Reading Rush 2020 Day 2 For the second prompt, Read a book with a title starting with "The", I selected The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow by Katherine Woodfine, the first book in a series of middle-grade books called The Sinclair's Mysteries. I have been wanting to listen to more audiobooks from the RB Digital subscription that is part of my British Library membership. I decided to randomly select one of the audiobooks for the prompt to "Read the first book you touch" and ended up picking the second book in this series. It made sense therefore to read this one first and I am glad I did. This one conveniently covers a lot of prompts. Similar to the book I selected for Day 1, this too starts with The, it has a cover in the same colour as my birthstone, aquamarine (though a bit darker), and it takes place on a continent different from where I live. . . . . . . . #preetisunaina #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #lovereading #instareads #bookcommunity #instabook #igreads #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #readingchallenge #tbr #readinglist #TheMysteryoftheClockworkSparrow #KatherineWoodfine #thereadingrush2020 #thereadingrush #readingrush2020 #readingrush #RBDigital @thereadingrush https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6bfMcAXW2/?igshid=159i04o1zi9xk

I have been looking forward to taking part in The Reading Rush 2020 and this was the first book I added to my TBR as soon as I got the reading prompts. I am using this book for the prompt to "read a book with a cover that matches your birthstone". One of my birthstones is Aquamarine and though the cover looks almost white in the photo, it is a very pretty light blue in person. In case anybody is also taking part in the PopSugar reading challenge, this also covers the prompt of Read a book with only words on the cover, no images or graphics. I got this book as part of a subscription box from The Big Book Box. I am listening to the audiobook which is available on both Storytel and RB Digital. . . . . . . . #preetisunaina #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #lovereading #instareads #bookcommunity #instabook #igreads #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #readingchallenge #tbr #readinglist #TheOnlyStory #JulianBarnes #PopsugarReadingChallenge2020 #PopsugarReadingChallenge #thereadingrush #thereadingrush2020 #readingrush #readingrush2020 #TheBigBookBox #Storytel @storytel.in #RBDigital @recordedbooks @tbb_box @thereadingrush https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3woy4Ap7X/?igshid=waq41z2fzp4p

So thrilled to be taking part in another round of #Raedathon hosted by @jadeyraereads I am reading my last book for #Believathon2 - The Boundless by Kenneth Opel. I have been meaning to read more graphic novels as well as use my Kindle Unlimited subscription more often so the second book I selected works perfectly - Roots by Tara O'Connor. . . . #preetisunaina #readingchallenge #readingjournal #bookstagram #instabook #middlegradebooks #bookworm #booklover #lovereading #readingjournal2020 #instareads #book #books #bookcommunity #igreads #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #tbr #readinglist #TheBoundless #Roots #kennethopel #TaraOConnor #GraphicNovel #kindleunlimited https://www.instagram.com/p/CAicxwZAyQj/?igshid=121meywyr65li

My most-anticipated #readathon this year has been the second series of #Believathon. I am so thankful to Gavin of @gavgav7 for organizing such a fabulously fun readathon. It has been great reading some of my old favourites and learning about new books, many of which have become new favourites. I particularly enjoyed planning out my TBR that fit each of the tasks along the path from the Poacher's Pocket Inn to the Book-keeper's Stronghold. I am already looking forward to the next Believathon. . . 🏚️ Poacher's Pocket Inn Read the first book in a series. Frostheart by Jamie Littler . 🏞️ The Wonderfalls Read a book featuring a disability Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes by Jonathan Auxier . 🌲 The Deepwoods Read a book published before 2000 Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild . 🚂 The Brolly Rail Read a book including transportation or with transportation on the cover The Boundless by Kenneth Opel . 🏯 The Book-keeper's Stronghold Read a sequel Explorers on Witch Mountain by Alex Bell (The 1st book in the series, The Polar Bear Explorers Club, is standing in for the sequel I was supposed to read. Sadly, the lockdown meant that my book did not arrive in time but I was lucky and managed to find the audiobook on both Storytel and RB Digital. I loved it so much I will be reading/listening to the 3rd book as well within the next few days.) . . . #preetisunaina #MakeBelievathon #readingchallenge #readingjournal #bookstagram #instabook #middlegradebooks #bookworm #booklover #lovereading #readingjournal2020 #instareads #book #books #bookcommunity #igreads #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #tbr #readinglist #Frostheart #PeterNimbleAndHisFantasticEyes #BalletShoes #TheBoundless #ExplorersOnWitchMountain #ThePolarBearExplorersClub #storytel #RBDigital https://www.instagram.com/p/CAibbPlA-eQ/?igshid=ieee4x7n3uyf

Happy World Book Day to all you lovely people!!! . . . Happy William Shakespeare's birthday!!! . . . The three books on the right are some of the oldest books in my collection. My parents bought these amongst others for me when I was 7 or 8 years old and they began my love for reading. . . . Which books started you on your reading journey? Do let me know. . . . #preetisunaina #WorldBookDay #WilliamShakespeare #Shakespeare #MobyBooks #classics #Shakespearesbirthday #ChancellorPress #IllustratedStratfordShakespeare #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #book #instabook #bookworm #lovereading #instareads #bookcommunity #igreads #readersofinstagram #bibliophile https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VJFYTAUiU/?igshid=1gtram81pgoi3

April has been a month of fun readathons, and the last one I took part in was the #BnBClassicsReadathon hosted by @booksnbeyondbox As usual, I selected way more books than I could possibly read during the actual readathon but am going to definitely continue even after. The books I selected are 👩 Villette by Charlotte Brontë 🛶 The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare 🎶 The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux 🐰 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll 🎩 Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll 👩‍🦰 Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery 🌍 Brave New World by Aldous Huxley . . . The books I completed out of these are Villette - I loved reading this on a kindle reader as I could translate the many French passages easily, which was very helpful as I have quite forgotten the little bit of the language that I knew ☺️. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Audible has made the Scarlett Johansson narrated version available to all on their Stories page. I enjoyed it greatly and am going to look for other audiobooks narrated by her. The Phantom of the Opera - I am in the middle of this. Having watched the 25th anniversary production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's show on YouTube over the weekend, I was inspired to add this to my list. . . . Did you take part in the readathon? Which books did you choose? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated ☺️. . . . #preetisunaina #BnBClassicsRreadathon #BnBClassics #classicsreadathon #readingchallenge #readathon #classics #AmazonClassics #kindlepaperwhite #kindleunlimited #kindleonipad #readingjournal #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #book #instabook #bookworm #lovereading #instareads #bookcommunity #igreads #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #tbr #readinglist https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VFolhg5VE/?igshid=1br6zgk1ioslk

I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the Stay Home edition of The Reading Rush from April 16-19. I finished 2 and a half books but am going to continue until I have read all about of them. My book list: 🏠 Read a book with a house on the cover Natalie Tan's Book of Luck and Fortune by Roselle Lim 🛌 Read a book in the same room the whole time Villette by Charlotte Brontë 🛶 Read a book set somewhere you wish you could go The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare 😁 Read a book that will make you smile Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne. Did you take part? What were your book selections?
