I have never participated in the Biannual Bibliothon, but though it could be a good way to keep powering through my TBR pile this month!

I have listed the reading challenges for you below.  Per the hosts, you are able to use one book to cover two of the reading challenges but not more than that!

1.       Read the Group Book:  Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalo

I actually got this book for Christmas so it’s the perfect opportunity to read it without letting it collect too much dust on my shelf!

2.       Throwback Pick: Pick any past Biannual Bibliothon Reading Challenge

Check out their Youtube channel for past events and inspiration!

3.       Read a 2016 New Release

4.       Read a Book Recommended by a BookTuber

5.       Read a Book You Were Really Excited for but Never Picked Up (until now)

6.       Read a Re-Telling

Check out these Goodreads lists for some ideas!

7.       Read a Diverse Book

Here’s a list from Diversity in YA with some great diverse picks if you need inspiration!

In addition to the reading challenges, the Biannual Bibliothon always comes up with a week’s worth of video challenges!  I’m not a content creator on YouTube, but if you are, try your hand at these!
