‘Stay at Home Club’ Cosy Reading Night TBR

Helloooo fellow book lovers! The title of this post if pretty self explanatory, but, if you don’t know what cosy reading night is then you are in for a bit of a treat my friends! Hosted by the wonderful Lauren and the Books, cosy reading night is an opportunity to sit in a comfy corner, stock up on the snacks, and settle down with a good story. Sounds fabulous am I right?

The world is still a pretty crazy place right now, so it’s nice to have something to look forward to, keep us all in the house, and distract us from the dystopian film that is unfolding outside our front doors. Lockdown has been extended over here in the UK and as much as it was expected it was still a bit gutting to hear we had a another 3 weeks of this minimum, it’s nice to have something that will help us forget it all for a little while.

O.W.Ls Readathon 2020 | Sign Up, TBR, and Career Path

It’s that time of year again where we strap on our magical thinking caps and get ‘studying’ for our O.W.Ls. For those of you who have absolutely no idea what I am talking about, the Magical Readathon – O.W.Ls edition is back, and is bigger and better than ever. Based on the Ordinary Wizarding Levels – tests that Hogwarts Students sit in their 5^th year of school – the readathon features a series of reading prompts inspired by the school subjects offered at Hogwarts.

I think it is safe to say that the world is a bit of a mess right now, and while I don’t want to dwell too much on all that muggle nonsense, I think this readathon has come at the perfect time. Isolation has a new focus and that focus is tidying my bedroom and reading for my O.W.Ls – sounds like a plan!

TBR Alphabet Tag

Hello lovely bibliophiles! It’s been a long while since I have completed a tag huh! I miss doing them, they’re fun and they really make you think about your books, your TBR, your bookish opinions, and if I am honest I am glad to be tagged and taking part again. This tag is a long(ish) one so instead of sitting here chatting, I am going to get on with the show.

The lovely Lucinda @ Lucinda is Reading tagged me in the TBR Alphabet Tag. It’s premise is simple, list a book for each letter of the alphabet that you have been meaning to read.

Triwizardathon | Sign Up and TBR

Hello lovely witches and wizards and welcome to a sign up for a new readathon that I discovered this week! I was scrolling twitter, as you do, when I discovered this Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire themed readathon and couldn’t resist taking part. It has a really unique formula, and is a really good focus for reading the books that I need to read and review this month. 

OK, so what is it all about? How is it going to work? What lovely human came up with this great idea? Let’s answer some questions folks. This amazing creation is the brain child of Jessica (or Chapter Charmer fame – you can find her here on Twitter and her blog). It’s a readathon designed around the tasks and schools that came together to create The Triwizard Tournament. The opening ceremony took place on Halloween, where participants could watch the fourth film and await news on the first task and the readathon rules. It’s clever and clearly has had a lot of thought and effort poured into it and I am super excited to take part. The Triwizardathon has it’s own twitter here, and you can find the master post to view challenges and sign up here.

Summer Cosy Reading Night TBR

I’ve taken part before and loved it, and I am leaping on the chance to again because I am usually on a late shift at work, so I don’t want to miss this amazing opportunity to make inroads in my N.E.W.Ts Readathon Progress (check out my updates post here)!

N.E.W.Ts Readathon 2019 | Update

Hello witches, wizards, house-elves and muggles! I am struggling to believe that we are pretty much half way through August, which mean half-way through this round of N.E.W.Ts. I love the versatility of Gi’s readathons and prompts and have got back into the reading groove. I am managing to fit in some ARCs that I have been meaning to read, and I am thinking about books I require for the various year long reading challenges I am participating in and trying to fit books in for those where I can. I have finished some properly brilliant books that have become absolutely favourites.

N.E.W.Ts Readathon 2019 | Sign Up and TBR

Hello witches, wizards, house-elves and muggles! August is upon us which means only one thing – the Magical Readathon is back with another N.E.W.Ts edition! I took part in my O.W.Ls back in April and I passed all of my subjects (yay go me) so I had the choice of career path, and therefore reading options going into this readathon. Gi (of The Book Roast) has really gone all out this year to make this the most magical reading experience, and so I had fun choosing a career for O.W.Ls and plan to stay on the right path.

The Book Junkie Trials | Update and DNF-ing the Readathon

Hello, and welcome to the first time I think I am going to abandon a readathon at the half way mark post. The Book Junkie Trials has been going on since the beginning of the month, and I signed up excitedly as a Magi in the hopes of reading and accruing points with my Magi brethren. Unfortunately this readathon really isn’t for me, so, I am going to share why below alongside my update!
