Challenge 1: Read a book with a cover that matches the color of your birthstone.
I was born in August so my birthstone is the peridot which is a bright green color. It was actually quite difficult to find a book for this, so I decided to go with three short novellas instead of a full novel. I've chosen Meeting Sang: Gabriel, Meeting Sang: Nathan, and Meeting Sang: Silas by C.L. Stone.

Challenge 2: Read a book that starts with the word "The."
For this challenge, I decided to go with The Prince and The King by Jennifer L. Armentrout. These are two of the novellas following the Wicked trilogy and I've been eagerly awaiting the release of the final novella before I read these. They're both under 200 pages so I think it will be easy to fulfill this challenge.

Challenge 3: Read a book that inspired a movie you've already seen.

Challenge 4: Read the first book you touch.

Challenge 5: Read a book completely outside of your house

Challenge 6: Read a book in a genre that you've always wanted to read more of.
![Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1535112671l/40653144._SY475_.jpg)

Challenge 7: Read a book that takes place on a different continent than where you live.
I've chosen two books for this challenge as well. It may be slightly cheating in that I've chosen fantasy books but, to be fair, they don't take place on my continent. The first of these is Curse of the Night Witch by Alex Aster. It's a middle-grade fantasy that came out a month ago and I meant to review before then.
The second is The Dark Tide by Alicia Jasinska. This is a YA fantasy that sounds so good. This one comes out in August and I'd also like to have my review up before then. This is actually also the book that I am starting this readathon with today.
