#polarthon2020

The last two books that I was meant to read for the #Polarthon reading challenge hosted by @jadeyraereads were The Polar Bear Explorer's Club by Alex Bell (from The Big Book Box subscription box) and Frostheart by Jamie Littler (from ChapterOne Books). I completed the first book and am definitely going to continue with the series at some point. The second book however was a fail. I am not too upset though because many of my selections covered more than one prompt. I was meant to read Frostheart for #Believathon at the end of last year but never did because the book arrived too late. I didn't want to rush it during the challenge but will definitely be reading it before the release of the sequel Escape from Aurora in October 2020 as Goodreads informs me. . . . . The cute polar bear is from the We Bare Bears collection at Miniso and looked very appropriate for both Valentine's day and Polarthon. In case you wish to search for it, it is the We Bare Bears Festival Series Plush Toy (Ice Bear). . . . . #preetisunaina #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #lovereading #instareads #bookcommunity #instabook #igreads #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #readingchallenge #tbr #readinglist #polarthon2020 #miniso #ThePolarBearExplorersClub #AlexBell #Frostheart #JamieLittler #TheBigBookBox #ChapterOneBooks #PolarFantasy #SnowySetting #RedmiNote8Pro https://www.instagram.com/p/B8yBG5yJgDq/?igshid=1flqy88j16mnz

The book I chose for the first prompt, "A Cold Word" in the #Polarthon reading challenge hosted by @jadeyraereads was A Shiver of Snow and Sky by Lisa Lueddecke. I listened to the audiobook that I got from RB Digital through my British Library membership. . . . . I found the bear at Miniso the day before Polarthon was to start and the Ice Bear is my favourite of the We Bare Bears. In case you wish to search for it, it is the We Bare Bears Festival Series Plush Toy (Ice Bear). . . . . #preetisunaina #bookworm #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #lovereading #instareads #bookcommunity #instabook #igreads #readersofinstagram #bibliophile #readingchallenge #tbr #readinglist #polarthon2020 #AShiverOfSnowAndSky #LisaLueddecke #RBDigital #audiobook #WeBareBears #Miniso #BritishLibrary #RedmiNote8Pro https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wwYKGpF8z/?igshid=y3f4trvlhjg0

My second book for the Polarthon reading challenge hosted by @jadeyraereads is The Ice Monster by David Walliams. I chose it for the task "A Furry Friend" but it works for all five tasks. The book is about a little girl called Elsie who lives in a home for unwanted children in London during Queen Victoria's reign. It describes her meeting a wooly mammoth and going on an adventure from London to the Arctic Pole with the mammoth and a motley group of friends. The audiobook has been narrated by a superb cast of voice actors including two of my favourites, Jane Horrocks and Miriam Margoyles, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The book has a very interesting font layout, and that along with illustrations by Tony Ross helps to enhance the reading experience. . Next book: A Shiver of Snow and Ice by Lisa Lueddecke .
