Readathons, Wrap Ups

Tome Topple Round 12 Wrap Up

by amyleighreads2 Comments on Tome Topple Round 12 Wrap Up

I love this readathon, simply because it gives me a reason to pick up the longer books on my TBR I have been neglecting! I was able to read 3 tomes over the course of the two weeks, plus a couple other shorter reads but I’ll leave those for my monthly wrap up. I didn’t quite end up with a bingo for this round but I am still stoked with what I was able to accomplish!

🏴‍☠️ Scallywagathon 🏴‍☠️

by amyleighreads1 Comment on 🏴‍☠️ Scallywagathon 🏴‍☠️

When I came across the announcement video for the Scallywagathon I couldn’t help but want to participate so here I am lol… As usual I will be picking a book to correspond to each prompt and depending on which path I choose I will inevitably end up with four books that I should complete. I’m not going to pressure myself to finish them all though, it’s just about participating and promoting a fun readathon! For any information please check out their website HERE!

Ember in the Ashes Series Reread

by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment on Ember in the Ashes Series Reread

I’ve been going through and doing rereads of a few series that I haven’t picked up in years and since I just wrapped up The Heroes of Olympus series last month I thought I had better pick something to start next. The final book in this series is going to be released in a few months so I decided to do a reread of the Ember in the Ashes series by Sabaa Tahir! Its been about 2 years since A Reaper at the Gates was released so I am struggling to remember the finer details of the plot and I wanted to go into the last book freshly reminded of everything!
