Spooky Month Readathon: Wrap Up

[♛ may]

Hey all!

Tonight concludes our Month-long spooky Readathon. This is going to a wrap-up thread where you can share how many books you completed/pages read (etc. etc.)

Thank you all so much for participating. We had a fantastic month and it was so fun to be able to chat and share thoughts and motivate each other

we should do it again some time wink wink

Please let us know how you liked the readathon and if there is anything we can do to improve it for everyone.

We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!! Happy reading, guys 💖

Hey guys! I really loved this month-long readathon! It's super convenient for me as a busy person who can't take part in the week-long readathons that are normally held so I really really appreciated this! So here's what I read this month!

The Way of Kings -the last 250 pages of it.
The Cruel Prince - very entertaining, but lacking in some departments
A Court of Frost and Starlight - finished today just in time!

Thanks again for this amazing readathon! I would love to participate if you all were to do it again! Have a great end to your year everyone :)

Thank you all for hosting this. I had a great time. It's brought me back to feeling like part of this community again (and I made some new friends)

Like Zoe, the month long readathon really helps when you have too much going on in your everyday life to actually commit to reading.
This month I really didn't read that much as you know (because I keep repeating myself lol) but I've read:

Even the Darkest Stars- The second half, and it was totally meh
Check, Please!- The second half- adorable and absolutely 5 stars
The Cruel Prince- not perfect or impressive but somehow got me excited for the next book
Strange Grace- 75% looks like 4 stars

Thank you for everyone who participated!!! I can't tell you just how fun it was to read through your updates every day. ♥

Unfortunately I slumped this month + I had exams and deadlines, so I couldn't read as much as I had hoped! I ended up reading 4 books, two of which were novellas:
- Bright We Burn by Kiersten White
- The Lost Sisters by Holly Black
- Evidence of the Affair by Taylor Jenkins Reid
- Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas

I'm so excited to see all your wrap-ups and I can't wait to do this again soon!!!

thank you sooooo much for joining us on this readathon, im so glad you enjoyed it and got to make time for books

i agree with cruel prince, i found the first half long and uneventful compared to the second half
the second half was WILD

Thank you guys, the readathon was so much of fun. Usually when I participate in readathons, I’m setting myself up for failure, but a month-long one worked out really well.

Here’s what I read:
~ Free the Darkness
~ And the Ocean Was Our Sky
~ The Black Prism
~ The Blinding Knife
~ The Broken Eye
~ Text, Don’t Call
~ The Shadow Queen
~ Gardens of the Moon
~ The Way of Kings
~ Words of Radiance
~ Love & Gelato
~ The Lost Sisters
~ Edgedancer

Some of these books were monsters, so I’m pretty happy with this!

I still have not yet figured out how you manage to be so productive yet also so talented and whatnot. Like you'd think that if you read that many books in a month, your drawing or journaling or socializing would suffer or be neglected, but here you are with your massive read pile, your inktober highlights, still responding and keeping up with everyone?

Proud of you beb, but I shouldn't really be surprised

Thank you for hosting this readathlon, it was fun without pressure like other readathlons. I loved reading all your updates, guys :))

I read 27 books (short novellas or poetry books included) and reaaaally liked five of them (i need to focus more on quality, lol)

i cant wait to do this again!
