April 15, 2020 I gave in and listened to ACOTAR. I love finding things I missed from earlier readings and also the little snippets of Rhysand. So many tiny things put in that you can miss the first time around. • The Great is on Hulu! I’ve been waiting for this day! Just like books, I hope I haven’t hyped this show up too much for myself. • I’m going to start on We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faisal. I have the book going for prompts of several readathons going on this month. • I hope everyone has had a great start to their weekend! 📚 #shrekathon #tometopple ##medievalathon #fantasyjourneyathon #journeyathon #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #bookish #tbr #series #coffee #guiltypleasure #may #2020 #currentlyreading https://www.instagram.com/p/CARUhhNAEw2/?igshid=1xmxbjrvwuzz6
This month I am participating in the Journeyathon readathon. I’m really excited about this one! All book descriptions are from Goodreads.
HAROYELL - READ A FIRST BOOK IN A SERIES
For this prompt, I picked Thirteen by Tom Hoyle.
Born at midnight in London, on the stroke of the new millennium, Adam is the target of a cult that believes boys born on this date must die before the end of their thirteenth year. Twelve boys have been killed so far. Coron, the crazy cult leader, will stop at nothing to bring in his new kingdom. And now he is planning a bombing spectacular across London to celebrate the sacrifice of his final victim: Adam.
DUPRESSA - READ A SHORT BOOK
For this prompt, I robbed one of my sisters books. I went with The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket.
Dear Reader,
I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune. In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast. It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket
GARON - READ A BOOK FROM YOUR FAVOURITE GENRE
For this, I went with Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.
I don’t really think this book needs an explanation.
DENASA - READ A BOOK WITH A BLUE SPINE
For this prompt, I picked The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.
GRAEVALE - READ A BOOK WITH A BLACK AND WHITE COVER
I picked the Dayrider team, which means I have the ability to use any book for one of the prompts. I decided to go with Gregor And The Marks Of Secret by Suzanne Collins for this one.
Follow Gregor in the fourth enthralling adventure in Suzanne Collins' New York Times bestselling Underland Chronicles -- with gorgeous new cover art coming July 1st!
In Book 4 of the bestselling Underland Chronicles, Gregor is drawn ever deeper into a brewing crisis. For generations, rats have run the mice out of whatever lands they've claimed, keeping them constantly on the move. But now the mice are disappearing and the young queen Luxa is determined to find out why.
Gregor and Boots join Luxa on a simple fact-finding mission. But when the true fate of the mice is revealed, it is something far more sinister than they had imagined -- and it points the way to the final prophecy Gregor has yet to fulfill. His abilities are put to the test in this suspenseful, action-packed penultimate installment of Suzanne Collins's thrilling Underland Chronicles.
KARONIA - READ A GRAPHIC NOVEL
I went with Heartstopper Vol. 3 by Alice Oseman for this one.
In this volume we’ll see the Heartstopper gang go on a school trip to Paris! Not only are Nick and Charlie navigating a new city, but also telling more people about their relationship AND learning more about the challenges each other are facing in private…
Meanwhile Tao and Elle will face their feelings for each other, Tara and Darcy share more about their relationship origin story, and the teachers supervising the trip seem… rather close…?
HALLOWGATE - READ A BOOK THAT FEATURES DEATH
For this, I decided to listen to Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix by J. K. Rowling.
I think this is another that doesn’t need an explanation.
NIALAS - READ A 5 STAR PREDICTION
I was kind of suprised by my choice for this, but I’ve decided to go with Clueless: Senior Year by Amber Benson.
Your favorite girls from Beverly Hills are back in an all-new adventure! It’s senior year and Cher, Dionne, and Tai find themselves in a bit of a crisis of self… Where are they meant to go, and what are they meant to DO after high school? Luckily they have all year—and each other’s help—to figure it out!
And that’s my entire TBR for this readathon. I’m so excited to complete it!
