Woohoo! I can not wait for this. It's my Birthday week and I am going on a cruise for the last two days but am still hoping to participate as much as I can.

My tentative tbr:

1. Read a fantasy with red on the cover -

2. Read a fantasy based on a mythology you're unfamiliar with -

3. Read a fantasy with a strong friendship -

4. Read the last fantasy book you acquired -

5. Read a fantasy with dragons - (I guess its the series that technically has dragons in, rather than this book in particular, but I hope this still counts!)

Ooh, lots of books that I am not familiar with! Except A Game of Thrones... if it's like the tv show, it will at least have dragon eggs in it :)

This falls in the middle of the Tome Topple which I am also planning to take part in so I'll be reading big books and won't have time to fulfil all the challenges but the two books I am focusing could also fit a couple of these prompts so I hope its ok to try and take part in both readathons.

Based on a mythology that you are unfamiliar with: (full of a mixed bag of different mythologies).

Strong friendship: (this book is famous for the epic bromance between Royce and Hadrian).

No worries! The challenges are just a suggestion for those that like those kinds of challenges! I'm also participating in the tometopple (I have so many huge fantasies to choose from!). Hope you enjoy :)

[Viviana]

I'm so happy wake up and discover another marathon 😄.
Now I'm looking in my bookshelf the books that I need.

GoT is a reread for me but I'm hoping to not get intimidated this time and continue on with the series. They do have dragon eggs in and dragon skeletons, if I remember rightly. Kinda still bending the rules but I'm going to go with it ;)

I liked the first book but LOVED the second so I ave high hopes for this one!

My tentative TBR:

-red on cover: Stormdancer
-mythology you're unfamiliar with (technically more of a religious studies retelling and less a fantasy novel, but I literally only have Greek-based fantasies and I'm too familiar with Greek mythology for that to count): Gods, Demons, and Others
-strong friendship: Magic Steps
-last fantasy acquired: Three Dark Crowns
-dragons (one of my childhood favorites!): Dragon Rider

My sister recommended Truthwitch because I loved the Truth-Teller's Tale! So I'm pretty stoked to read it. :D And I'll definitely update you on the Last Namsara! :D
