He looks like the Harry Potter puppet pals Dumbledore!

[@ImaginaryFame]

Ooh can't wait to see everyone's quick, bookish masterpieces! This sounds like a fun, cute idea 🎀

[@calsreadingcorner8615]

YEAH AUSSIE BOOKTUBERS WOOOOOOO

[@BlueSapphireReads]

This was so fun! 30 seconds felt a lot longer for me than I thought it would! ❤️

[@LucindaGarza]

I thought I wasn't really going to participate in any of the video challenges, but I really liked this one! I will try it out✨

[@ohsoabby4689]

[@booksville]

[@GoWithKar]

Estoy muy emocionada por hacer este reto 💕 me encanta 😍
Voy a estar incluyéndolo en mi reading Vlog diario como los tuyos el año pasado 💕

[@Catsandcamera]

This is one of the things that annoys me about this readathon -why 30 seconds?! At least give us a minute, damn! XD

[@ThisCubed]

PREACH

[@paperback_cat]

I just did mine and it was ridiculous but also... cute? I think your Dumbledore is a cutie too :)

[@a.s.2937]

I did an absolutely awful Reagan (from Fangirl) but it's 30 seconds haha. That was pretty fun tho

Hey Chloe!
I'm super excited to be participating in The Reading Rush this year! It's my first time ever! Here is a link to my Day One: Drawing Book Characters challenge video, ruclips.net/video/VwyFAHpwm0g/видео.html, so that I am entered into the giveaway! Super pumped for all of the fun challenges to come!

[@MyOwnLittleBookshelf]

[@EnbyReads]

[@moonbook12]

Cool idea Collie

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

If only I was artistically gifted 😂

[@Eskimokisses5411]

So fun! May we submit the video on Instagram, or does it have to be on RUclips?

[@cgl23_]

Hello! I was wondering, I started reading a book late last night, can I continue reading that book for the reading rush or do I have to start from the beggining again?

[@BooksFromaVirgo]

This is so fun

[@The_Rising_Dragon]

Is fanfic (or you know multiple characters from different fandoms interacting with each other), as my physical books are currently living away from me for the next couple months?
(Yes, I personify my books... They too have feelings you know? And they are so adorable! [I want a book plushie so bad])
^ - ^

[@Christinathebookworm]

30 seconds is not enough time 😂😂😂😂

[@vitoriadias1903]

Funny video... I really wanted to participate on the reading rush, but I tried to create an account on their website three times and they didn't send the e-mail to confirm. Really disappointed but have a wonderful marathon! 🥰👏👏

[@edensylvester13]

You can still do it without the website

[@vitoriadias1903]

@@edensylvester13 I know but I'd like to earn the badges and participate in the forums you know? But that's ok

[@Celestria]

THIRTY SECONDS?!! howww 😂

[@MsQueenieClem]

I miss the contest. I forgot to link my my activity. Can I still link it. My 8 year old son is participating and I would like to get feedback for him. Thanks and I am sorry.

[@labeba]

Yep yep yep .. i am in👍🏻

[@starrynightreader8373]

[@firebow2810]

I'm having a lot of trouble logging in on your website. Partly because I forgot my password and it won't send me an email to my inbox to make a new one and partly because the website loads slowly. Sometimes a 503 error comes up. I figured you might want to know about this if you don't already. Any chance you could fix this?

[@BookBunnys]

Yay the first challenge! I was wondering if you have to post the challenge videos every single day or can you combine them into one video and then post it on 28th?

[@lain.33]

I’ll try it!

[@ItsDaniDee]

Does the challenge have to be in a separate video or can it be in the vlog?

[@millionbooksandpuzzles]

This was so much fun but so intense. Here is my video for Day 1: ruclips.net/video/zmy9bTE3xIc/видео.html

[@samantharampaul339]

Is something wrong with the website... I tried all weekend to sign up on both my phone and laptop and its not working... #Disappointed... great challenge tho... will definitely still do it though my love for this year's readathon is diminishing... 😐

[@Catsandcamera]

The site says it's down for maintenance for me, so it's probably getting too much traffic

[@labeba]

It get down some time check the site from time to time

[@samantharampaul339]

I've been trying since last Friday ...at this point I rather read and keep my own page count etc... would have been cool with the badges but maybe next time...😭 definitely love the ideas...just not a fun experience with the dowmtime of the website... THANK YOU ALL THOO...I felt like I was cursed 😂😂😂 (a lil dramatic but yh)

[@bBooksBB]

This was such a rush and so much fun to do! I think I really captured the spirit of Annabeth in my video: ruclips.net/video/KSaY_lfw2Zc/видео.html

Does the video have to be uploaded on RUclips?

[@josefinewibom1365]

If you want to be able to win, then you have to upload the video

[@randyporridge5781]

Josefine Wibom but can it be uploaded on a different site like twitter?

[@spacehowler6615]

I got really excited till I learned you only have 30 seconds. I guess I can still try to draw something though.
