destiny ♡’s comments from the Unexpected Readathon Time / Books Out of the Blue group.

Oh my gosh, I'm so happy you all joined!! This has honestly made my entire week haha. I have to run to the grocery store but when I get back I'll reply better to y'all's intros! ♥♥

Oooh, RA is such a bitch. :( My grandma had it, and they think I'm developing it. Hugs to you ♥ I don't know of RA rep in books off the top of my head, but I'm gonna think on that and see if I can find you something!! For disability rep in general, here are a few I have shelved on my disability shelf on GR:
- The Storm Runner (the MC has a physical disability with one of his legs, I'm not sure what)
- Blanca & Roja (one of the love interests is blind in one eye, I think?)
- The Dollmaker of Krakow (one of the MCs is missing a leg)
- When My Heart Joins the Thousand (the love interest has a genetic disorder and the MC is autistic)
- The Tea Dragon Society (multiple QPOC characters and a character is in a wheelchair)
- A Quiet Kind of Thunder (selective mute MC and deaf love interest)

I'm off Saturday through Tuesday (4-day weekend thanks to an all-day out-of-town seminar I have to go to next Friday), so I'm gonna try to get some major reading done!! I do have a lot of rearranging and organizing to do at home but hopefully I can listen to audiobooks while doing all of that.

I want to finish my current reads:
- Red, White & Royal Blue (diverse rep challenge)
- Nevernight (audio reread)
- A Danger to Herself and Others
- Aurora Rising (favorite color on the cover: purple)

And I want to read a bunch of library check-outs I need to return, which all fit the something short challenge since they're all GNs and manga:
- Giant Days, Vol. 5
- Giant Days, Vol. 6
- Giant Days, Vol. 7
- Legends of Zita the Spacegirl
- The Return of Zita the Spacegirl
- Deadman Wonderland, Vol. 1
- Black Butler, Vol. 1

Besides all of this, I might just mood read and try to read some ARCs!

Oooooh, Priory. 😍 My pre-order copy came damaged so my replacement showed up today and I'm so tempted to start it this weekend too!!

Hi everyone! I'm pretty sure most of you will already know me... but I'm Destiny, 26, children's/YA library coordinator + MLIS student + mom to the coolest 2-year-old ever, and the Libra-est Libra ever. 😂 I read a big mix of genres but my favorites are fantasy, realistic contemporary, romance, and horror (eclectic mix, I know). I've been blogging for about 2 years and hope to never stop. When I'm not reading, I spend my free time gaming, binge watching youtube videos with my spouse (we love Try Guys and Game Grumps and recently became obsessed with Binging With Babish), and listening to music (another area where I enjoy most genres, but my favorites are alt-indie and metalcore).

Hi love!! Aww, my spouse is turning 30 in May and it's freaking them out a little, too. Hugs to you! ♥

Our first readathon starts right away, on March 2nd! You can start at midnight in your time zone, and the readathon will end at 11:59PM in your time zone on Tuesday, March 5th.

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 a book with diverse rep! (i.e. POC rep, queer rep, disability rep, etc.)
2. Read something short: this can be a graphic novel, manga, poetry collection, novella, whatever you like.
3. Read something with your favorite color on the cover.

Hello, everyone! ♥ This is just a thread where you can all say hello and meet one another, or find some friendly faces! Feel free to let us know whatever you'd like — your age, favorite authors, preferred genres, anything!
