If you are unaware what the Buzzword Readathon/Challenge is see my prior post HERE. Last month the buzzword was TIME and unfortunately like the month prior I didn’t get a chance to read anything that fell under that category, so I will have to catch up in the coming months ! I am excited to continue on with this challenge and complete this months buzzword which is:
This month the buzzword theme is DARK and here my options:
This month I am going to try and complete the Magical Readathon hosted by Book Roast on BookTube! There are quite a few prompts for this readathon and I am going to assign a book to each prompt however, it’s not the end of the world if I don’t manage to read them all! I am going to save the background and character prompts for a later date so for now it’s just the novice path for me in September.
O – The Novice Path Entrance: read a book with a map.
The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin
O – Ashtorn Tree: a book that keeps tempting you (or top of your TBR).
Queen of Volts by Amanda Foody
O – The Mist of Solitude: read a standalone.

Into the Water by Paula Hawkins

Jade City by Fonda Lee
O – Orilium Academy Arc: book with a school setting.
For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing
This month was a little bit average in term of the amount of books I read, but I did enjoy each of them a lot so it kind of makes up for it I guess! I have high hopes for September though so hopefully I am on the upswing again.
In August I read:
Fable by Adrienne Young – ⭐️4/5 stars
Namesake by Adrienne Young – ⭐️4/5 stars
All the Tides of Fate by Adalyn Grace – ⭐️3/5 stars
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty – ⭐️4/5 stars
Sightwitch by Susan Dennard – ⭐️3/5 stars
I did this tag over a year ago now and thought it would be fun to do it again and see if any of my answers differ!
I’ve actually recently started with 2 books at a time. One physical and one ebook!
During the day, either when I’m at work or out and about and I have a spare 5-10 minutes I can just pull my book up on my phone or computer and read the eBook. At night when I’m in bed I will usually switch over to the physical book!
Lately I haven’t even been using bookmarks, I’ll either dog ear the page I’m on or just lay the book down on the open pages.
Usually on my bed or on my nightstand (same)
Lately during my reading slump it’s just whenever the mood comes over me, could be any time of the day.
Depends on how I’m feeling about the book. If I’m invested and I know it’s a quite short read I will probably just end up finishing it in one sitting, otherwise could be anywhere from 1-6 hours.
Yes, I always end up damaging the dust jacket otherwise; I kind of throw my books around a lot
Laying down, either or my side on on my back!
No I will leave it in my room usually on my bed
This depends as well, usually after a sitting and I put the book down I will update my Goodreads but if I forget or am too tired to I will wait and just update when I finish the book!
