Totally Spies Readathon Wrap-Up

Throughout July I participated in the Totally Spiesathon, a Totally Spies-themed readathon created and organised by Noura at The Perks of Being Noura, which took place throughout the entire month.

I was part of Team Sam (she was always my favourite when I watched the show).

Here are the rules and prompts (graphics by Noura):

Here's how the readathon went for me . . .

Book One

I rolled a five.

Prompt number five = free choice! Choose whichever prompt you like from the list!

I chose prompt two (read a book with yellow, red or green on the cover (depending on team).

As I was on Team Sam, I chose a book with green on the cover, Wilder Girls by Rory Power. I rated this 2.5 stars.

 I rolled a six.

Prompt number eleven = book that starts with 'A', 'S', or 'C' depending on team.

I chose Scavenge the Stars by Tara Sim which I gave 2.5 stars.
