2019 Challenges Overview: Dancing with Fantasy and Sci-Fi

Link to the Event

Alright, here we go everyone into the Fantasy and Sci-Fi Book Challenge that we all know that I’ll be able to do. Because what else do I read? The answer is: not much else.

As such I decided to join this challenge for books to read. It’ll keep me preoccupied over the course of the year (I hope). It also motivates me to get a lot of the other books I needed to read (or reread), finished.

I will fill this in as I read more. For now it’ll remain mostly empty until I have a book that fits the category of placement. Be sure to check back periodically (probably monthly) to see all of the books that I add!

May 2019 TBR

May 2019 TBR

This is the first time I will be doing anything like this, and I don’t know specifically if anyone really cares about what I am reading (or plan to read) this month. Maybe you do care! And you have cared! Well here it is, my list of what I want to read this month.

As a note I am trying a new format for this. If you like it, it would be cool to know. I know reading long lists of text can get boring, so if you like it, I’d like to know. Or it can be like my poll that no one answered resulting in me doing whatever I want, that works too.

More Book Challenges

To be honest I need to look into these next year at the start of the year, because then it would be a bit more fun. I have found a total of 5 (count them 5) new reading challenges! To add onto my OWL one for the year of 2019. These are full year reading challenges and as such, a bit easier to manage.

Tropes I Hate

Tropes I Hate

Kill me with a spoon I hate these tropes so much. After writing the Tropes I love, with great difficulty, I decided to do the easier variant: things I hate. I feel like I can easily rant about things I can not stand far better than I can say the things I like. I will not get into ones I am apathetic towards.

For the ones I like, go here.

Without further ado.

OWL Readathon

OWL Readathon

Happy Monday Everyone!

I know that I traditionally blog on Wednesdays. Today is not a Wednesday. Today is a Monday. However, I felt a passion to write out something that I discovered just recently that has sparked my interest to read again.

As you may have known, I got into a book slump sometime in February. March was pretty slow for book reviews. I’ve been trying to get myself out of the slump to no avail and then I saw this readathon on Instagram (if you don’t follow me, do @themarlenamarie). It’s the OWL readathon.

Essentially it works with Harry Potter themes, using the O.W.L.s (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) as a prompt. More information here. I love Harry Potter and this readathon really sparked me to want to read more. As such I am going to attempt it to complete it. Not only that but I will be attempting to complete it now more than a week into the month, all while trying to read books I have never read before. (Spoiler IDK If I can).

Some of the books on this list you will notice are not in my preferred genre. That’s because they are my mother’s books. I told her about it and she recommended books. She may be attempting it as well.
