Evening (or whatever time of the day it is where you are), everyone! I’m participating in way too many readathons in May, but one of the ones I’m most excited for is definitely the SailorMoonAThon! It’s going to last from May 1st to May 20th, and for more information about it, I recommend checking out the twitter account for the readathon right here! Also! Very exciting fact: I’M ON TEAM SAILOR MARS! But, yes. You can find my TBR for the readathon under the cut!

THE HUNGER GAMES, BY SUZANNE COLLINS. ( TEAM BOOK + SAILOR PLUTO )

I’m going to be 100% honest with you: I’ve read this in the past, and rated it one star. However, I have a very strong feeling that I’ll like it a lot more now than I did back then. This is one of the original YA dystopian novels, and a book that shaped a lot of people’s reading lives, and I’m genuinely curious to see what I think of it now, at this stage of my life. I remember that the thing that bothered me most about this book when I first read it was the writing style, and I tend to get used to different writing styles more easily now, so yes. I’m hopeful. The only problem is that I’m borrowing this from the library, and though I have a hold on it, it’s not guaranteed that I’ll get it on time. (It’s counting both for the team book AND the Sailor Pluto challenge, aka to read a dystopian book.)

THE PRINCESS DIARIES, BY MEG CABOT. ( SAILOR MOON )

For this challenge, we need to re-read one of our favourite books, and so I decided to go with the first book of the series I loved most as a child. I have to admit that, growing up, I loved The Princess Diaries even more than I loved Harry Potter. It didn’t stick with me the way Harry Potter did (though J.K. Rowling’s doing a good job of making HP unstick - but that’s another story), and I remember awaiting every translation with bated breath. The only book I haven’t read in this series is Royal Wedding, which came out a few years ago, and though I own it, I want to re-read the entire series before I get to it. Therefore, it makes this the perfect fit for this challenge, and I cannot wait to get to it!

THE LOVE & LIES OF RUKHSANA ALI, BY SABINA KHAN. ( SAILOR MERCURY )

This challenge is to read a book that challenges you, and since homophobia is a tough subject for me to read because of personal reasons, I thought I’d read a book that deals with that! I know maybe it’s not the best idea to read a book that could upset me, but I’m highly anticipating this book, and I think I’m going to love it, no matter how tough it might be for me to read. Also, Sabina Khan will be at MTLYAFest on May 26th, and I’d love to have read the book before possibly meeting her!

WILD SAVAGE STARS, BY KRISTINA PÉREZ. ( SAILOR VENUS )

This challenge is to read a book with a character that has special abilities, and I thought that this book would work perfectly for it! I can’t really explain why that is, as this is the sequel to Sweet Black Waves and I don’t want to risk giving away spoilers, but, um, this is my most anticipated book of the year and I CANNOT wait to finally read it. I got the arc in an auction for Christchurch as an added gift to the personalized copy of the first book, and I’m just! So so so so so so so so so so so so excited to read it. I think this might end up being my favourite book of the year, just like Sweet Black Waves was my favourite book of last year, and just!!!!!!!! I’m so excited!!!!!!!

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT SWEETIE, BY SANDHYA MENON. ( TUXEDO MASK )

For this challenge, we need to read a romance novel, and so I decided to go with one of my most anticipated books of the year, which I was lucky enough to get an e-arc of on NetGalley. Honestly, I’m still in awe about it, because I never thought I’d get approved for such a popular book. But I was, and I therefore want to read it before it comes out so I can encourage other people to purchase it. Plus, it features an Indian-American plus-sized main character, and though I’m not of Indian descent, I am plus-size and I cannot wait to see that kind of rep. I loved Sandhya Menon’s previous two books, and I honestly can’t wait to get to this one.

DOWN AMONG THE STICKS AND BONES, BY SEANAN MCGUIRE. ( CHIBI-USA )

For this challenge, we need to read a novella, and so I decided to go with the next novella in the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire. Now, I didn’t love the first book and originally didn’t plan on continuing, but three very important factors finally got me to want to read the second book. First of all, I can’t think of any other novella. Second of all, they have it on OverDrive at my library. Third of all, my friend told me he thought I’d like it more than the first book. So, yes. I’m taking a chance and reading it, and though I don’t know if it’ll be a new favourite, my hopes are pretty high.

BROKEN THRONE, BY VICTORIA AVEYARD. ( SAILOR MARS )

For this challenge, we need to read a book that has to do with fire, and since there are people with pyrokinetic abilities in this series, I thought that this would fit perfectly! I actually received this book yesterday even though it’s coming out next Tuesday (I pre-ordered it), and so I’m most likely going to read it first! I even hope to finish it within a day, as I plan on doing a mini 12-hour readathon today. I’m not going to beat myself up over it if I don’t manage it, of course, but I’d be really pleased with myself if it were to happen.

SORCERY OF THORNS, BY MARGARET ROGERSON. ( SAILOR JUPITER )

For this challenge, we need to read a book with more than 400 pages, and since this book is 464 pages long, I think it’s going to be perfect for it! Basically, I was lucky enough to get an arc of this book on NetGalley, and having heard amazing things about it so far, I’m highly looking forward to it. On top of that, it has to do with a magical library, and as someone who’s studying to become a library tech, that’s something that really appeals to me. Also, it’s coming out on June 4th, so I’d like to have read it before then!

THE LOST COAST, BY AMY ROSE CAPETTA. ( SAILOR SATURN )

For this challenge, we need to read a stand-alone, and as far as I know, this book is a stand-alone, so it works perfectly for this challenge! This is another arc that I got from NetGalley, and I really, really want to read it before it comes out on May 14th. Also, this is about queer witches in Northern California, and that ticks a lot of my boxes. I still can’t believe I got approved for an arc of it, to be honest.

A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY, BY BRIGID KEMMERER. ( SAILOR URANUS )

For this challenge, we need to read a book with a gorgeous cover, and though I know this cover doesn’t exactly please everyone, I personally really like it. Not necessarily for the design, but instead for the colours. I was going to read this in April after I got it for my birthday (March 29), but I instead decided to push it back to this month since real life problems got in the way of me reading all that much last month.

BELLY UP, BY EVA DARROWS. ( SAILOR NEPTUNE )

For this challenge, we need to read a contemporary novel, and I chose this one in particular because it’s one of my most anticipated releases of the year. This has been compared to Gilmore Girls and Juno, but more diverse, so like... That sounds perfect for me. I’m also like, 99.9% sure that this is pure contemporary, and so it fits this challenge perfectly! Also, I have an arc of it until the end of May so it’s about time I read it!

BEDS ARE FOR FLOWERS, BY R.K. GOLD. ( GROUP BOOK )

This is the group book for the readathon, and I’m oh so excited to read it! Not only because this counts for three times the amount of pages, but also because I never heard of it before, and I love finding out about things I’d never encountered before! To be completely honest with you, I have no idea what this is about, but I heard that it’s really diverse, so I’m highly looking forward to it!
