Readathon

Next year, over the course of it, I’m planning on reading as many books as I can for the charity Readathon and then donating the money I receive to the charity.

This will promote creativity in me as I’ll be delving into many different worlds that authors create and also promoting service as I’ll be doing this for a charity which will help link my creativity up into a ‘bigger picture’.

I’ve been checking out quite a few different charities in order to decide which one would link up best with what I want to do with this and it keeps coming back to Readathon. Many of the book related charities are ones that want/need you to donate books to them in order to help other countries or they would like volunteers to help read to others. As I’m aiming for creativity with this, I’ve decided that Readathon was the best – and it helps out a few different charities whilst also helping to promote literacy which is also very nice.

In order to help me keep track of how many books I read, I’d be using Goodreads’ 2013 reading challenge. It’s a really useful tool that I used this year to try and figure out how many books I can read in a year. At this point in time, 27.
