How in the world are we already in August?! It’s Magical Readathon month and my TBR definitely reflects that! If you don’t know what Magical Readathon is I will link the intro video HERE. It was created and hosted by the amazing G at Bookroast and is one of the only readathons I do every year. So let’s get into what I’m reading this month!
Magical Readathon TBR:
For the Magical Readathon my career is Star Whisper which means I have a very full schedule of “classes” this term to achieve my goal of becoming a Star Whisper there are some grades I need to get first. For this term I need an O in Art of Illusion a D in Astronomy an O in Lore and a D in Paionics and Divination. So let’s break down how Im doing that this year.
Art of Illusion- O: Levitation Spell- Read without touching the floor or ground:
- This is one of those prompts that I LOVE having during a Readathon because it’s an easy one to check off. I read most of the time in bed or sitting somewhere curled up, because of this I don’t really need a book for this on however I chose to add my Manga for this one because its so short. So to complete this promote I will be reading Yagi The Bookstore Goat.
Astronomy: D For the D required grades I need to work through the O and Q as well so this one has 3 different promotes to go with it.
- O is Moon Song Ritual- word in the title from the name of the last song you listened to. At the time creating this TBR the last song I listed too was High Infidelity by Taylor Swift which didn’t leave me with a lot of options for words here; However I did luck out and found the “Ouran High School Host Club Vol 1” by Disco Hatori at my Library which is what I’ll be using for this “class”.
- Q- Lunar Alignment- Read from a finished series- Lucky for me I am currently reading the Throne of Glass Series which is a finished series so for this on “Empire of Storms” by Sarah J Mass will fulfill this “class”.
- D- The Blood Moon- Red Cover- G did say during her video for this year that any cover that has read as an eye catching color counts for this one so Im using that for my advantage. “How to Excavate A Heart” by Jack Maia Arlow is my pick for this promote.
Lore- O-Tale of the Guide: Booksellers recommendation.
This one was kind of tricky for me, I made a goal this year to really limit my booking buying as I am saving for a wedding as well right now so I have been using my library a lot this year. While I love going to my libaray I don’t always have the time to go so I wasn’t sure how I was going to do this using the Libby app as I had already gone to the library for the month. Well Libby has this nice feature where the librarians put their picks so that is the section I looked through. I landed on “That Time I got drunk and Saved a Demon” By Kimberly Lemming(spoiler at the time of writing this I have already finished it and can’t wait to review it!)
Psionics and Divination- D
- O-Introduction to Tarot: Random Tarot generator-same symbol in the title or cover. G had linked a random Tarot Generator in her bio of the video so this is what I used for this and it was almost like luck as on my side. I drew the Tower card(not the best card for everyone but this time I was so happy to see it) which fits in perfectly since I am doing the tandem read for Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn by Sarah J Mass. So for this promote I will be reading “Tower of Dawn”..
- Q-Reading the Future- Book Set in the Future. I will be picking up “Poster Girl” by Veronica Roth for this one. I have been meaning to pick it up and when I saw it at my library this month I couldn’t pass it up. I am so happy I am able to fit it into this readathon so I know I will make it a priority this month!
- D- Omen Lily- Lily on the cover or word Lily in the title/ authors name. This one was really hard for me! I didn’t have anything that worked on my TBR already nor did I have a book that I was interested in that fit this. For the one I put the word Lily in the search bar on Libby for audiobooks and found on that fit that sounded good; in turn Readathon fashion I am adding to my TBR instead of removing lol. I will be reading “Makeup Breakup” by Lily Menon. I don’t know a lot about this one since I have never heard of it however it looks to be a romcom book which I will always take in audio format to break up my fantacies
The rest of August TBR:
You would think that with everything that I just listed a above that I would have a full month of reading heading of me and I would need to add anymore books to this madness but I am me and I still have books that I need/want to read this month so lets dive into those.
From my library I have two more graphic novels/ manga and two more novels I would like to get to this month. I know for a fact I will get to the Manga and graphic novel so let’s start there.
- “There are things I can’t tell you” by Edako Mofumofu This Manga is a BL(Boy love) story Friends since elementary school Kasumi and Kyousuke now have to navigate adulthood and the complications that come with that. They find it hard to talk to even each other and there are feelings left just under the surface.
- “Check, Please” by Ngoni Ukazu This graphic novel follows Eric Bittle a Former figure skating champion, blogger and amateur patissier as he moves through being a Freshman hockey player at Samewell University and dealing with the unexpected problem of Jack.
Moving on to the two Novels I have out from the libaray that are the two hopefuls for this month:
- “She gets the girl” by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson derrick. This follows Alex and Molly trying to get the girl(both having different crushes) Alex feels if she can help Molly fall in love she can prove she isnt a selfish flirt to win her ex back; but what happens if maybe the fall in love with each other instead?
- “The Book of Lost Names” by Kristin Harmel. We follow Eva Traube Abrams a Florida librian when she finds a book she hasnt seen in 65 years in Nazi Germany. The book of Lost names is a religious tome that contians a mysterious code that no one can decipher, but Eva has the key.
That rounds out my library books for the month but I still have my book club which is “Divine Rivals” by Rebecca Ross. This is one I know very little about other than it’s a war against the Gods and enemies to lovers. I don’t like knowing a whole lot about book club books but I’m so excited to read this one!
That ronds out my huge August TBR now off to go make a dent in all those books! until next time!
