Yaaaaay! ♥

Ooooh.... it's so hard to pick! Okay, no particular order:

• Captive Prince series - C. S. Pacat
• The Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater
• Shades of Magic series - V. E. Schwab
• Throne of Glass series - Sarah J. Maas (though I still haven't finished KoA...)
• The Illuminae Files - Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman

Yaaaaay! Can't wait to see what you pick! I think I'll be posting my TBR a little closer to Sunday since I'm trying to knock out a few current reads before the weekend. 😬🤞

It's time for another readathon! Like the last one, please remember that just because you're in the group does NOT mean you have to participate in every readathon! ♥ I want to host these to give you the option, but I would never want anyone to exhaust themselves by joining in too many, so take care of yourselves!

———

This readathon starts at midnight in your time zone on Sunday, March 17th , and the readathon will end at 11:59PM in your time zone on Wednesday, March 20th.

The only requirement is to post some sort of update(s) as you go, whether that's the number of pages you read (overall or per day), how many hours you spent reading, what your favorite read was, etc. The more discussion, the better! Feel free to tell us how you're feeling about your readathon picks, and please post your TBR for the readathon!

Fulfilling challenges is NOT required, but if you'd like a few challenges to fill for this readathon:
1. Read something that's been on your TBR since 2018 or earlier
2. Read a sequel
3. Read something that someone has recommended to you or that a friend has rated highly (feel free to ask other group members for their recs if you don't have anything in mind to fit this criteria)

Teach me your ways 😭😭 I was just sitting here looking at my ARC spreadsheet and thinking maybe I need to go back to my old method of reading each one right before it releases, because lately I've been letting myself prioritize some WAY before their release, but it causes me to miss release dates on other lower priority ones. AUGH.

Hi, everyone! I'm so sorry that some of you *just* received official invites — I learned over the weekend that several hundred of the invites I sent out didn't... send?? So I'm extremely sorry for anyone who missed the first readathon and would have wanted to join ♥♥ but we will be having the second one VERY soon! And I'm just so happy to see all of you here!!

Lmaoooo I felt that "slooooow go". It's on my spring TBR soooo if you're down for waiting until next week to start it I'd totally do a ridiculously snail-paced BR of it with you

You can create your own topic for buddy read searches, or you can post your book(s) here!

Ooh, this is a great idea! ♥ I love the idea of a BR search thread. Sadly, from your list, I only have You'd Be Mine and I'm probably not going to get to it soon, otherwise I'd totally join you. :(

Thank you all so much for participating! I'm so blown away by how active this readathon was and I can't wait for the next one!! ♥ (which will probably be VERY soon so stay tuned~!)

Way to go everyone! ♥♥

There are 34 minutes left in the readathon in my time zone but I need to write a review and finish another blog post so I know I'm done reading for the evening. I didn't get nearly as much done as I hoped I would but I still had a lot of fun!

- 3 hours of Sadie (audio reread)
- 300pg of A Danger to Herself and Others
- 400pg of Red, White & Royal Blue
- 1 hour of Nevernight (audio reread)
- 178pg of Ten Count, Vol. 1
- 240pg of The Art of Taxidermy
- 25pg of Will Haunt You
- 40pg of Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee
- 123pg of The Witch's Kind

I just finished RW&RB and it was SO PERFECT. I'm just gonna sit over here crying happy tears for the rest of the night 😭

I finished A Danger to Herself and Others and now I've just read about the first half of Red, White & Royal Blue (which I'm pretty sure will be my favorite March read, calling it right now!)

You are absolutely invited to the next round, too, and every round after that! I hope your interview goes amazingly well. Good luck!
