Hour 9: On Food and Books Mini-Challenge

I didn't do much reading this past hour, because I was adding some past reviews to NetGalley and working a little bit on my blog schedule for this week. I am working on my second book though, and since it's short I should finish it either this hour or next!

It's no secret I am a fan of Harry Potter. My favorite recipe from the series is obviously Butterbeer, which I had the chance to try at LeakyCon a couple years back! I recently stumbled across a Butterbeer latte recipe, so here it is!

Finished books:

• Spiritually Strong: The Ultimate 6-Week Guide to Building Your Body and Soul

Hour 8: Book Spine Poetry Mini-Challenge

I have officially finished my first book! I will be adding a bulleted list of finished books in every hour's post after this, so I can keep track, along with my master spreadsheet. (I'm a nerd. I admit it.)

For those cheering, I could use encouragement with DRINKING WATER! I'm being lax about it, and I know it's not healthy.

This hour's challenge is book spine poetry!

Simple, but fun!

Worry less so you can live more, as you wish the narrow path.

Finished books:

Hour 7: Treasure Hunt

I'm making serious progress in my book now! Almost three quarters of the way done! About to take a quick break for a new snack and potty break, and then continuing on!

This hour's challenge was hard for me, and I added another challenge to it and only used my readathon stack. Still fun though!

Tiny trees count too, right? #readathon #rahrahreadathon #hour7 #hour7challenge #thelibrariansbookshelf

How many did you find?

Hour 6: Picture It Mini-Challenge

I've made it half-way through my first book. I'm slowly getting there! Cheering is still going strong, but it's a little disappointing because many of the Tumblr readers who signed up appear to not be participating. There are still many blogs though, and I'm dipping into the Instagram readers a little as well!

In this challenge we are to pick a photo that represents something bookish. My current read is about strengthening your Christian faith, so I chose a photo that makes me think of praying in God's creation.

Isn't is beautiful? Link up your photos below!

Hour 5: Cast It Mini-Challenge

I'm still plugging along! I've gotten through three chapters now, so I'm definitely making progress! To better balance my time between reading and cheering, I've decided to cheer for 5-10 readers after every chapter I read. It's really helping!

This challenge is called Cast It, which is being held in the comment section here. Check everyone's posts out!

Hour 4: Goodreads Scavenger Hunt

I still haven't gotten as reading done as I wanted to so far, but I've been doing so much cheering! It's really a lot more fun than I expected.

This hour there is a scavenger hunt going on in the Goodreads group here, so go join in!

Hour 3: Four Seasons Mini-Challenge

I'm still plugging away in my first book, but making progress! Yay!

For this challenge, we use four books to represent the four seasons in some way.

Hour 3 Mini Challenge! As an added challenge, I only used books from my TBR stack. From left to right: spring, summer, fall, winter! #minichallenge4S #readathon #thelibrariansbookshelf
