Since I had so much fun doing a photo challenge for April, and had people participating, I thought that I would do one for May as well!
Here’s a blog post about the prompts for each day. I think they’re pretty self-explanatory, but some clarification is always nice.
Day 01 – Bookmark Love
Show off a bookmark (or multiple!) that you love. Or even one that you use frequently.
Day 02 – Feminist Books
I love feminist books, show off ones you’ve loved, or that you’d love to read!
Day 03 – Red Books
Show off as many, or as few, red books as you want to.
Day 04 – #MapMonday
So many books have maps in them these days – choose a map you love, or multiple, and show it off!
Day 05 – Favourite Book of 2020
What has been your favourite book of 2020 so far? We’re into the second third of the year (omg!) so I’d love to know what everyone has been loving this year!
Day 06 – Fandom Love
A fair amount of books have fandoms these days – do you like fandoms? Are you a part of any? Show your favourite fandom, or favourite things from your fandom, if you can.
For example, I love Harry Potter, and I have a few Funko Pops that I am sure I’ll use for this photo.
Or The Raven Cycle has a few fandom-ish items out in the world that I might use, too.
Day 07 – #ThrowbackThursday
Throw it back to a book you read 5 or more years ago. I’d love to see what people were enjoying in the past!
Day 08 – Own Voices
Own voices books are something that I think is extremely important. Show off some own voices books you’ve enjoyed.
Day 09 – Character Development
What’s a book you’ve read with great character development?
Day 10 – Books That Make You Smile
I’d love to see some books that made you smile!
Day 11 – #MugMonday
Get yourself a hot drink (or a cold one but in a mug) and show off those mugs!
Day 12 – Standalone Books
Show off some standalone books you love.
Day 13 – Books With Flowers
This can be books with flowers on the cover, in the title, or even prop flowers. Go wild!
Day 14 – Yellow Books
Let’s all brighten up our feeds with some yellow books!
Day 15 – LGBTQ Books
I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t include LGBTQ books in a challenge somewhere – show off any LGBTQ books you’ve loved, new or old!
Day 16 – Retelling
What’s your favourite retelling? Show it off in a photo.
Day 17 – Addictive Reads
What is a book that had you hooked from start to finish? Something that was so addictive that you thought about it even long after you finished reading it?
Day 18 – Illustrated Covers
I love illustrated covers, and there are so many great ones out there. Show off an illustrated cover you love.
Day 19 – Pastel Books
Let’s show off a stack of pastel books for this one!
Day 20 – Mental Health
Mental health representation is super important in books. What is a book that you’ve read that has good mental health representation in it?
Day 21 – Bookish Candle
Most of the book community love candles – show off a candle and a book, if you have one to show.
Day 22 – Naked Books
Ditch those dust jackets for this photo and show off those naked books!
Day 23 – Spell Your Name With Books
For this one, spell your name with the first letter of a book title from several books.
Day 24 – Books With Stars
This one can be a book with stars in the title, or on the cover, or if you have those cool paper 3D stars I’ve seen, use those!
Day 25 – First Book Read in 2020
What was the first book you read in 2020? Show it off here!
Day 26 – Books You Wish You’d Read Earlier
Almost all of us have that “I wish I had read this earlier!” moment when finishing a book that’s been out for a while. What is a book that you’ve wished you had read earlier?
Day 27 – Rainbow Stack
Bonus points if you use LGBTQ books to make a rainbow stack!
Day 28 – Author Discovered in 2020
Who is an author you discovered in 2020? Show off their book that you read to discover them.
Day 29 – Surprising Reads
Some books are surprising – whether it’s the contents, how good it is, a plot twist, or even how bad it is. What is a book that has surprised you recently?
Day 30 – #StackSaturday
Show off a stack of books this Saturday! It can be anything you want!
Day 31 – Family
There are some amazing family dynamics in books that I have read. Show off a bookish family that you have read and enjoyed.
Don’t forget to use the hashtag, but don’t tag me in the photos (except where specified).
Happy snapping!
I haven’t been organised enough to join in yet this month but I love that you are hosting a challenge again in May! It is fun to people joining in =) xo
