Readathon Updates #Tropeathon ~ 10/1/21

Happy Friday! I hope you have all had a great week. I’ve been suffering with migraines this week, so I’m really hoping I can get through the weekend without a repeat performance. As long as I’m feeling okay I’m expecting to have lunch with my besties tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to that!

Let’s see what progress I made this week along with new TBRs~

Halloween Readathon

• Classic Lit Spooky Read ~ The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe
• A Book in a Series ~ The Hand on the Wall by Maureen Johnson

• A Book w/ Mythical Creatures ~ Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim
• A Horror or Thriller ~ The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

I am so very close to having a bingo! I’m currently reading Jane Eyre, which will fulfill the prompt for A Book That’s Also a Movie. This readathon goes until the end of the month, so I’m curious to see how many boxes I’ll mark off in October.

Magical Readathon: Orilium

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• The Novice Path Entrance: read a book with a map ~ Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim
• Ashtorn Tree: a book that keeps tempting you (or top of your TBR) ~ What If You & Me by Roni Loren
• The Mist of Solitude: read a standalone ~ Transcendence by Shay Savage

The only prompt I didn’t read for this was Book With a School Setting, but I only had to read 2 out of the 7 this month, so I’m set! I’ll look forward to reading the different prompts for my character between now and April. I’ll share those as I complete them. I loved the video put out yesterday on getting placed into our guilds ~

I got two diamonds, a triangle, a circle, and a square, so I’m in the House of the Arcane. The quiz she put together was a lot of fun!

Today is the start of Tropeathon, which goes through the end of October, so I’m sharing my TBR for that today.

• 

• 

• 

• 

• Second Chance ~ The Homecoming by Robyn Carr
• Supernatural Being ~ Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
• Coming of Age ~ The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna
• Fated Mates ~ Heart Duel by Robin D. Owens
• Time Travel ~ Jane in Love by Rachel Givney
• Friends to Lovers ~ The Bright & the Pale by Jessica Rubinkowski
• One Night Stand ~ Shadows of the Heart by Alexa Smart
• Epic Quest ~ Eye of the Soul by Terri Rochenski
• Forced Proximity ~ Sooner or Later by Debbie Macomber

• Techno Babble ~ This Golden Flame by Emily Victoria
• Fake Dating ~ The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West

I don’t have physical copies of The Final Girl Support Group or Survive the Night, so that’s why they’re pictured separately. I seriously doubt I follow this TBR, but it was still a lot of fun to put together!! You might have noticed that These Hollow Vows was on my Halloween Readathon TBR, but I found a spot for it on this one since I already read another book that fulfilled the prompt I had it on. I really want to read it! Now for the bonus ~

• Reluctant Hero/Heroine ~ Absolutely, Positively by Jayne Ann Krentz
• Chosen One ~ Ember of Night by Molly E. Lee
• Forbidden ~ Thoughtful by S.C. Stephens

So, that’s it for my readathon updates. It was a lot today, but I’ve having a lot of fun with them! And I feel the need to mention again that I am not at all holding myself to these TBRs.

Happy Reading,

Alison
