Should I stop the Fablehaven readathon and start the The Blackthorn Key readathon?

So the Fablehaven readathon has kind of flopped! I never really wanted to do a readathon for Fablehaven anyway but it got the most votes, kind of odd because there’s not much interest in it now.
I’d really love to start the Blackthorn Key readathon in August but first I’d like to hear your thoughts!

Yes, stop the Fablehaven readathon and start the Blackthorn Key readathon!

Ilsen I mean it’s your decision! I still wanted to read Fablehaven at some point and I think the reason it isn’t going as planned is because everyone is focused on CYOA challenge. I personally don’t have an issue either way. I will still like to read Fablehaven but if no one wants it and no one reads it, then feel free to change it.

So basically, if there was a “Other” option, I would vote for that one.

jessica i would've participated in fablehaven, but none of the apps or resources i use to read had it so no fablehaven for me🤷🏻‍♀️

@Jessica😂 that shrug at the end👌🏻 It’s a shame you couldn’t find a copy of Fablehaven! What about Blackthorn Key? Is that book/series available for you?

@Ilsen hmm that’s a good point! A lot of people are occupied with the CYOA challenge so that could explain it.
I just noticed that with the Lockwood readathon everyone was so enthusiastic about even from the beginning but it seems with this one everyone voted for it because they’d already read it or something🤔 and I know some people like Jessica can’t access the books and then others have tried reading it and don’t like the series so maybe a change now would be better than ploughing through for the next 3 months when no one wants to!
Me personally I’m not fussed if we continue the Fablehaven readathon I’ll get round to starting to read it but it’s no secret that I wanted to read the Blackthorn Key series as a readathon from the very beginning of the first discussion we all had about it

jessica yep, i’ve got access to that one! and the next couple as well

Audrey I'm about to start book 4 of Fablehaven. I also have Blackthorn Key, which I'm excited to start as well.

Yea I do think it’s not as popular as Lockwood and Co. And that happens in polls sometimes. A book is picked just by the people who think is good, not in terms of reading it for themselves. I also have Blackthorn Key on my TBR so I wouldn’t mind changing it if it’s more accessible. I’ll probably try to read Fablehaven on my own XD

@Jessica great! I’ve got my copy downloaded since ages ago too👏🏻
@Audrey you’re already ahead of the Fablehaven readathon!😂
@Ilsen darn I hate it when the polls are misleading! Plus it’s not always an accurate representation of everyone’s opinion because some people don’t seem to see poll invites at all (goodreads has problems😩). That’s why I love it when people respond with their thoughts in the comments because it’s easier to decide what to do then and I’m hosting events for you guys not for me so I want to know what you all want. That’s why I love all my constant responders you guys are the best!!❤️
I think I’ll wait another day and see what other people think and then I’ll decide what to do...

Yea Goodreads has some issues but I still like the polls. But yea, whatever you want. I knew you wanted to read Blackthorn Key and honestly it sounds really cool! I’m fine with either but I think it’s better to change it if there’s no engagement.


message 9: by Audrey (new)

Audrey You can keep Fablehaven open as a buddy read and start Blackthorn anyway.

Awesome idea! I might end up doing that!
We’ve also got the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone goodquiz in August too! I’ve already set up the page👏🏻

@Ilsen goodreads is flawed yeah BUT I STILL LOVE IT ANYWAY!! Where else would I meet all you amazing people and discuss books? Nowhere! This is the best platform for book discussions despite its issues!

@Dee I guess I should’ve put a 3rd option😂 I’m glad you’re enjoying Fablehaven! Hopefully you’ll enjoy Blackthorn Key just as much! I’m really looking forward to reading it! And even though I haven’t started Fablehaven myself I do think I’ll read it sometime before the end of this year, maybe even next month! It’s been on my TBR for way too long anyway


message 13: by Cheridan (new)

Cheridan Elder I'm much more interested in reading Blackthorn Key than I was Fablehaven. So I'd love to start that readathon!
Btw you do an amazing job with all the things you offer. Thank you!


message 14: by Kadi (new)

Kadi P Mod
@Cheridan me too to be honest! I’m setting up the new readathon page now! Also, thanks so much!❤️ I really love organising fun events for everyone so I’m so glad you like them too!


message 15: by Arnetha (new)

Arnetha Villery I'm on book 4 of Fablehaven and really enjoying it and will continual the series.
But, Blackthorn Key sound Okay :-)
I don't know much about Blackthorn.
Thanks

@Arnetha I don’t know much about Blackthorn either but I’m interested to give it a try! You can still come discuss the Fablehaven series readathon here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Also it’d be awesome if you could come join in the Blackthorn Key readathon too!
