I completed the Make Your MythTaker Readathon! Granted I didn’t quite stick with my original TBR for this readathon, however, I did end up finishing all of the prompts and I am now a witch!!
The books I completed were:
Featuring an animal – Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw
Read a book with a foiled cover – The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White
Featuring a magical battle – Furyborn by Claire Legrand
Occult themes – The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman
I’ve had a pretty average reading month in June. No outstanding new favourites unfortunately but I did really like everything I did end up picking up, which is always a bonus! I’ve started a couple of new series which excites me and even though it was predominately fantsay I felt like I had a good variety of books.

I’ve had a pretty good reading month! I participated in the Tome Topple readathon that went for about two weeks of the month and I did manage to finish 4 tomes during that time. One book in particular I have been meaning to read for over two years now so I was stoked I managed to get to it and LOVE it as well! Though reading these long books did kind of stall my usual pace for the month. I realise 12 books is still a massive achievement, I just feel like I didn’t read as much as I wanted to.

This wasn’t my most read couple of weeks during the Tome Topple. I had family visiting and I moved so there wasn’t really a lot of time for me just to dedicate to reading! However, I did manage to complete 4 books during this round of the Tome Topple and I ended up ticking off most of the prompts which makes me a Scholar!! The only prompt I didn’t really get to was to read an audio-book tome, I don’t like audio-books so I just skipped this one!

The Black Prism by Brent Weeks

I had a fantastic reading month in April! I managed to complete all of the prompts for the OWL’s Magical Readathon and I have settled on a career! I have decided to be an overachiever and attempt to become an Alchemist, but just in case I’m also going to have a back up career as a Spell Maker. I had so much fun choosing books to fit the prompts over the course of the month and I am very much looking forward to the NEWT’s later on in the year!!
