Tome Topple Readathon TBR

I’ve had a lot of fun doing small little readathon’s throughout the last couple of months so when I seen that Thoughts from Tomes on Youtube was hosting another round of the Tome Topple I decided I had to participate. The Tome Topple Readathon will be taking place from midnight in your time zone on May 9th to 11:59pm in your time zone on May 22nd. I have seen this readathon floating around Booktube for a while now and I have quite a lot of big books on my TBR so I figure this was a great way to finally get around to reading  a few of them. I definitely won’t be completing all of these books but I am hoping I’ll be able to either become a Scholar or a Sage!

May TBR

This month I want to go back to mood reading whatever I feel like at the time but also trying to get through one or two books from my physical TBR. I had a lot of fun last month picking books from a set list of prompts but this month I wanted to take it a little easy and just read whatever is calling my name at the time!

📚Physical TBR Update📚

I was going through my physical TBR over the weekend and I realised that I only had 13 books in my entire collection that I haven’t read yet. When I first got back into reading around 4 years ago I tapped into Booktube and literally bought every popular or hyped book that was being discussed. I also watched countless top ten favourite fantasy videos and bought a lot of books on those lists as well, until one day my collection had grown to over 300 books! For the last 2 years the number of unread books on my shelves has been between 30-40 books and I have somehow whittled it down to the last 13. I’m going to put this down to my library and forcing myself not to buy each and every book out there that is hyped and actually pick things I know for sure I am going to enjoy! I would really love to get the number down to 0 and maybe start rereading a few books/series in my collection that I haven’t read in years now, as well as picking up any new releases that interest me throughout the year!

Stay Home Reading Rush TBR

Soooo I have made the last minute decision to participate in the Stay Home Reading Rush which started today and finishes on Sunday 19th April. I participated in the Reading Rush last year and had a lot of fun, so I figured why not encourage people to stay home, socially isolate yourself and read all weekend!!!
