Readathons

Buzzwordathon Wrap Up

by amyleighreads2 Comments on Buzzwordathon Wrap Up

I figured it would be nice to do a little wrap up of the Buzzword Readathon I’ve been doing throughout the year since I’ve figured out I have completed all the prompts! I didn’t really look ahead throughout the year and see what the next prompt was going to be I would just look at the start of every month and find something on my TBR that matches. There were some months I didn’t get to the prompt but I did read something either before or later in the year that fit so everything worked out. This is such a fun easy readathon that I think I will continue to participate in for sure!

5 Favs under 500 Pages

by amyleighreads1 Comment on 5 Favs under 500 Pages

Around this time for the last few years I’ve been posting 5 of my favourite books over 500 pages but I’ve found this year I’ve been drawn to a lot more shorter books and novellas. So I figured why not post 5 of my favourite shorter books that I would highly recommend to you all:

Into the Riverlands by Nghi Vo – 112 pages

This is such a engaging and entertaining way to learn about the other characters and still get to hear the different tales.

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher – 176 pages

The overall pacing was very well done. Though not a lot happens for about 3/4 of this book I still felt compelled to continue reading and figure out what was going to happen next and what was actually going on!

Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica – 211 pages

This book was just very uncomfortable to read but was a wild.

Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRocca – 120 pages

This genuinely made me feel sick and when I have such a visceral reaction to a book I can’t help but rate it higher. Disturbing, strange and not what you would expect!

Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire – 150 pages

I think this book in particular my favourite in this series. Cora feels a lot more relatable as a character and overall the plot and pacing were still quite fast but highly engaging. For being a novella I think there was the perfect amount of context, mystery and thrills!
