Series Crackdown is a readathon where you attempt to read those unread series on your bookshelf, between Friday 2nd of April to Sunday 11th April. Sign-ups are open until Monday 5th of April, so there's plenty of time to join in.
I'm going to be using this readathon to try and tackle the books on my shelves that I already own and have not read yet, and as I'll be dipping in and out of series of all lengths (and standalones too) I'll be joining the Beasts team lead by Charlotte.
This time, there is even a reading challenge on The Storygraph to help you keep track! It means I don't have to make my own spreadsheets and charts (although who am I kidding, I will be).
The Prompts
One book can tick off up to three prompts, and I'll be using the Team Read The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon to fulfill three of them. Because fantasy, has gorgeous maps in it, and is first in a series.
- A book about mental health
- POC Author
- Children's Book
- Featuring a key worker
- LGBTQIA+
- Multiple POVs
- A book released a year ago
- Featuring communication technology
TBR
Honestly I think I'm gonna wing it mostly! I have set out three books that I'd like to tackle, the last book is anyone's guess. Here are the books and the prompts they fit.
- Mina and the Undead by Amy McCaw
- A book about mental health
- Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
- Author of colour
- A book released a year ago
- The Soldier Prince by Kate Hardy
- Featuring a key worker
- Perfect On Paper by Sophie Gonzales
- LGBTQIA+
- Featuring communication technology
As you can see, I'm only hitting four of the prompts, so take a look at my TBR on The Storygraph and recommend something to fit, I beg of you.
Sprint Schedule
One thing I love about this readathon is that there are daily sprints in the evening to help you get your reading done. I also love that there are chances to earn extra Moo Points by taking part, and there are sometimes flash prompts and sprints to join in with too.
Will you be taking part?
Yay Cora! If you bend the mental health prompt a bit I reckon you can claim Mina and the Undead... There's bound to be some MH impact if you're seeing undead all over the place
