You're going to be seeing lots of posts for this read-a-thon. This is my fifth post for today and I just think that is crazy - sorry about there being so many! I do have to say that there are a huge amount of participants for this! I'm participant number 350 out of 515.
There are two challenges today.
The first one is the TBR Pile Mini Challenge,
hosted by Musings of a Bookshop Girl.
~ The Rules
~
1. This challenge is in two parts, and you must complete BOTH parts in order to qualify for the giveaway. You must be a Bout of Books participant in order to enter (I will check!).
2. All you have to do is leave a comment below! You can answer in the comment itself, or link to the blog post/Tweet/video where I can find your entry.
3. The prize will be your choice of book(s) up to the value of £15 from The Book Depository (or Amazon if you're in the UK - I still have Prime so I might as well use it!).
4. If you answer in your comment, please include your Bout of Books sign-up number from the master linky here - use the 'find' function (CTRL-F) if you're struggling - to help me verify that you're a participant.
5. Please also include some way of contacting you should you win - a Twitter handle or email address, for example. The challenge will be open for 24 hours, and I'll choose a winner and get in touch after that. If you don't respond within 48 hours I'll pick a new winner, so keep an eye out!
~ The Questions ~
1. Which 5 books are at the top of your TBR pile at this moment?
2. If I gave you a wad of cash and sent you into a bookshop right now, which 5 books would you buy to add to the stack?

My Answers
I love book stores! All those books! There are so many to choose from that I'd love to add to my shelves. Here is what I narrowed it down to (I know that two of these are series so probably cheating a little, but I'd buy a book from each series at least or two from one of them):
The second challenge is The Book Spine Poetry Challenge,
The rules are simple:
1. Find some books, and create a poem out of their spine.
2. Take a picture of the spine poem.
3. Upload it on the link.
Here is my picture and poem:
Counting stars by the light of the silvery moon.
An unlikely match, waiting.
The kiss of a stranger along the shore.
Captive heart, there you'll find me.
If you're participating in this read-a-thon, did you do either of these challenges? I think that the poem one can be fun, but I've decided it takes too much time to do those ones. Next time, I'm going to reuse one I already did. Is that cheating? What do you think of my answers? :)
