Spinecrackers, so I've been inspired by watching too much Olympics. Being a girl who hasn't competed in any sport except for reading (it is a sport right?) I decided that it could be fun to have our own bookish Olympics! So I want to know what my fellow Litsians think about this? I was thinking maybe we can start the tomorrow (14th) and end it with the end of the Olympics on the 21st. Let me know your thoughts on this 🎖📖🎖📖🎖📖🎖📖🎖📖🎖📖🎖

BookishFeminist Hahaha what are you trying to do with all these challenges, kill us off? 😂 (seriously though this sounds cool so I would be game.) 8y

TheSpinecrackersBookClub @BookishFeminist I was scared it may be a bit too much 😋 you do need to be under a bit of pressure though when your competing in the Olympics. I was however wondering if we shouldn't do this maybe next month? 8y

BookishFeminist @TheSpinecrackersBookClub I am game for whenever because it probably won't change my reading habits too much, but next month is probably more realistic with the other challenge going on in August 😂 8y

TheLondonBookworm May well be the only time I ever win a sporting medal 😂😂😂😂 8y

Sweettartlaura Do nonfiction books count? How about audiobooks? 8y

TheSpinecrackersBookClub @Sweettartlaura hmm I'm making this up as I go. Yes I definitely think non-fiction can count. As long as it is longer than 200 pages. I think 200 pages should maybe count as a novel. I think the norm is actually 240 pages though. Audiobooks can definitely count as they are also allowed in similar challenges such as @24in48 8y

Sweettartlaura Then I'm in! 😊📚. I have 3 nonfiction I HAVE to read this week, plus a book club book... I'm halfway there 🤗 8y

Sue I'll play :) 8y

WanderingBookaneer Today, Puerto Rican tennis player Mónica Puig is playing for silver or gold. No matter what she wins, she will be the first Puerto Rican female playing for the Puerto Rican delegation to win an Olympic medal. When I first read this I thought I'd go for bronze. I have now decided to match Mónica's medal. ???? #PicaPower 8y
