Progress Report – Magical Readathon Fall 2024 Equinox

Hello, everyone! Now that the month is halfway over, I thought I would share my progress on how I’m faring with my Magical Readathon TBR. In short, it isn’t going so great. lol. I’ve only finished two of the six books I need to read to achieve the required grades in my classes this term. Yikes! So far, I’ve read Zeroboxer by Fonda Lee and A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft. I’m currently reading Evocation by S.T. Gibson, which means I’ve almost achieved my required grade in Psionics & Divination. Now, I just need to get to work on Restoration and Spells & Incantations.

That’s all from me today! I hope everyone else is having more luck with making progress on their Orilium classes this month. Let’s all finish the month off strong!

Magical Readathon Fall 2024 Equinox

The start of September means it is time again for one of my favorite readathons, Magical Readathon. Classes at Orilium resume on September 1, and my character has the month to try to get good grades while also maybe going on some side quests. We’ll see how motivated he is… lol. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can find more information about the Magical Readathon Fall 2024 Equinox in this term’s announcement video. Now let’s jump into some character background and the books I hope to read to satisfy my course requirements this month.

Monthly TBR – August 2023

August is always a really busy month, but it is one of my favorites. Why? Magical Readathon and Trope-ical Readathon both take place this month. These are my fave readathons, and I haven’t missed a round since I started blogging. So, I can’t start now. My plans for the month are AMBITIOUS, but I’m going in hoping for the best. 😁

Monthly TBR – April 2023 (Magical Readathon)

I am SO excited. This month I get to participate in another of my favorite readathons, Magical Readathon. I’ve spent a lot of time developing my character for this readathon, and I’m looking forward to attending another term at Orilium with him. For more information on my character, Padwin, you can visit my character introduction post. In short, he is attending the academy to learn how to be a Dream Walker and originally hails from a underground kingdom filled with libraries. He doesn’t really like open spaces and prefers books to people while also longing to understand them (kind of like me. lol). He must successfully pass seven classes to complete this term. Each of them is associated with a particular prompt. Here are the books I’ve chosen:

Monthly TBR – March 2023 (Trope-ical Readathon)

I can’t believe it is already time for another round of Trope-ical Readathon. It seems like August was just yesterday. I’ve decided to switch things up this time and join a different team, Team Science Fiction. I’ve always been on Team Fantasy in the past, but I liked the prompts better for Team Sci Fi this time. For the last Trope-ical Readathon, I didn’t set a specific TBR. Instead, I filled in the challenges as I went along throughout the month rather than picking specific books for the prompts the way I usually have in the past. This worked really well for me last time since it was the first time I’ve finished all the challenges. So, I’m going to proceed the same way again.The general and team prompts are in the graphics below, and more information about this readathon can be found at Jen Jen Reviews. If you are interested in participating, you have until March 5 to sign up!

Monthly TBR – August 2022

This is going to be a REALLY busy month! There are so many book releases happening, and I have so many ARCs to get through. On top of that, I’ve decided to participate in two readathons this month. I’m beginning to think I just like torturing myself with stress. It has been a couple of months since I’ve had a super structured TBR. So, I’m not sure how this is going to go after doing so much mood reading in June and July.

Monthly Wrap-Up: April 2022

Hello, everyone! How is it already May? April was a pretty good month. The first week or so I was still recovering from oral surgery, but I’m grateful there were no complications. I’m feeling better now and am all healed up. I also went on a short vacation over the Easter holiday, which was nice. I haven’t left the house much since COVID started. So, it was nice to have a change of scenery even if it was only for a few days. Unsurprisingly, the other major thing that happened this month was that I read A LOT. I participated in two readathons and ended up reading even more than usual. Scroll below to see all the details!

Readathon Updates

I haven’t been the best at getting my weekly updates finished the past couple of weeks. So, I thought I’d just take a quick minute to post an update on how my readathons are going this month. This month has been a bit of weird one so far when it comes to reading. Almost every book on my TBR has been changed because I’ve been focusing more on mood reading, which has been a nice change of pace. That being said, I’ve made some pretty good progress on getting the challenges finished. I’ve only got four books left to go, and I plan to finish one of them today (hopefully). Padwin has been doing a great job of finishing his classes at Orilium and only has two more to go to successfully complete this term of his magical education! Hopefully he’ll be able to pull it off.

Also, Happy Easter to all those who celebrate!
