Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful day so far and are enjoying your second day of this work week.
Today I wanted to share with you a little bit about a read-a-thon I am participating in right now! After doing the #BoutofBooks Read-a-Thon last week, I knew I wanted to try another read-a-thon and seeing as I have never read the Harry Potter books (gasp! I know), this seemed like a great way to fix that!
About #HPReadathon2017 | May 15 - August 6
The #HPReadathon2017 is a chance for Potterheads around the world to read the Harry Potter series again interactively. It is a three-month long event that aims to get Potterheads involved in reading, watching the films and participating in a range of different activities. These activities include things like a Photo Challenge, Quizzes, and weekly reading challenges.

My Goals for this Challenge
Since this is a Harry Potter specific challenge, my goal is to keep up with the schedule and make sure to watch the movies as I go along. I have not seen all of the movies, so I am excited to see how they all go.
I also am planning to participate in the Photo Challenges, as well as engage on Twitter! If you want to follow, check out my twitter: @RunwithJackabee or follow along to the hashtag #HPReadathon2017 to see all of the participants!

Challenge I've Participated In: No challenges today. I could not find my copy of the book at home - looks like we will need to buy a new one!
My Day: So I realized too late that I did not have a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, so I decided to do this week a bit out of order. Instead of starting with Fantastic Beasts, I am going to end my week with the Screen Play/Companion Book. While driving home and driving to Zumba, I listened to the first four chapters of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

My Day: I had this grand plan to listen to chapters 5-8 on my way home from work yesterday, but the universe had other plans as I got a phone call while I was leaving work that I had to take. Hopefully I can get more chapters completed by the end of Wednesday!

My Day: I actually had some down time at work today, so I was able to listen to the book while catching up on some reports and getting other things done. I also spent the hour drive home listening to the book so I was able to catch up on my chapters. Honestly, I did not want to stop but I got home and had other things I needed to get done!

My Day: So I had a short day at work today, but still managed to have a SUPER long commute home from work - this ended up working out perfectly because I was almost done with the book and wanted to complete it. I was also super excited because my husband ended up buying my the rest of the companion books and a whole new set of the Harry Potter books. Ours are in horrible shape so it only made sense to buy new ones right?
