Make Your MythTaker Readathon TBR

I have decided kind of last minute that I wanted to participate in the Make Your MythTaker Readathon hosted by A Frolic Through Fiction on Booktube, for her announcement video click HERE! It looks like a super fun, pretty chill readathon with a lot of the prompts coinciding with most of the books I planned on reading this month anyway. I’ve decided to be a Witch, just because I’m feeling the witchy vibes this month but I may end up completing and adding another character if I can fulfil the prompts.
