HAPPY BORROWATHON ROUND 5 ANNOUNCEMENT DAY!!!
I can't believe that we're on our fifth round of this readathon already! It has grown so much since it's first round 2 years ago. I say it every round, but the folks that participate in BorrowAThon are honestly the best. We have created such a positive and fun community around this readathon and I absolutely love it! Anywho, let's get to the information, shall we?
For those of you who may not have participated before, BorrowAThon is an 8-day readathon that encourages you to read BORROWED books. This means that you can borrow books from the library, a friend, a family member, a colleague, etc. As long as the books on your TBR are books that you do not own and will be returned from where you borrowed them from, you're participating in the readathon! The intention behind BorrowAThon is to remind folks that you do not to have to own books in order to be considered a reader or a part of the online bookish community. This is really a readathon for lovers of READING, regardless of whether or not you own the books that you're reading from.
BorrowAThon Round 5 will take place between Sunday, November 4th at 12:00AM in your time zone and Sunday, November 11th at 11:59PM in your time zone. We will be doing sprints every day of the week as well as a Live Show on Saturday. Keep reading for more details!

HOSTS
We have our amazing team of hosts back with us for Round 5. Honestly these ladies are what make this readathon run.

CHALLENGES
And now for everyone's favorite part - challenges! We have 6 challenges that are 100% OPTIONAL. Challenges are usually a fun way to choose a TBR for the week, but you do not have to limit to yourself to books that would fit within these challenges. You are also allowed to double up on challenges or use a book to fulfill multiple challenges! Really the only rule to this readathon is that the books you're reading need to be borrowed.
1. A book you think you're going to love
2. A 2018 release
3. A book with 150 pages or less
4. A book with a name of an animal in the title
5. A book that you've never heard of
6. A book that features a library
Be sure you're following the BorrowAThon Twitter for the most up to date information and post your TBRs and updates using the hashtag #BorrowAThon so we can find you and interact with you! I'm so excited for November and I hope you all are as well! :D
