Witchathon 2019 TBR Announcement

For those of you who have been following, you might know that I participated in my very first readathons last month when I entered in House Battles and Mythothon.

I admit that I went a little overboard and read like a madwoman because I became obsessed with the idea of reading at least 300 pages per day. Almost any free time I had outside of work was dedicated to trying to read as much as possible. As a result, I read a whopping 26 books and also destroyed basically any reading motivation I had.

I decided that–if I want to stay sane and keep my love of reading–I should probably take a break from readathons, especially the ones that give you points per page. While looking for “low-cost” readathons in October, I found Witchathon and it was basically exactly what I (and my partner) needed. It’s only a week long, has no point system, and has super cool prompts.

Here are the reading prompts for Witchathon:

• A book that features your heritage
• A book that features communing with the dead
• A book that promises to be dark & twisted.
• A book that involves a pantheon of deities
• A book that has fire on the cover
• The group pick: Gideon the Ninth

The books I’m reading are:

• The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan (fire on the cover/pantheon of deities)
• Gideon the Ninth (group book/communing with the dead)
• The Whisper Man by Alex North (dark and twisted)
• Binti by Nnedi Okorafor (heritage)
