O.W.L.S. Magical Readathon TBR 2020

Happy Sunday Friends :)

I have a bonus post this week to share, as this Wednesday is the official start of the O.W.L.S magical readathon hosted by G from Book Roast on Youtube, and I'm extremely excited to be participating for the first time ever.

I did take part in the bonus readathon she hosted at Christmastime, but this is my first time participating in the full thing.

I will leave links at the bottom of this post to the Magical Readathon Website, G's announcement video, and the Magical Readathon Twitter.

Basically this readathon is a Harry Potter themed readathon in that the spring readathon is themed to the O.W.L.S and the summer one is themed to the N.E.W.T.S. You have to pick a career choice, and then complete your "O.W.l.S." by completing reading challenges for each class.

After much deliberation, I decided to go with "Care of Magical Children" for my career choice, and it requires 8 O.W.L.S, or 8 reading prompts. Which are the following:

Arithmancy: magical qualities of number two: read something outside your favorite genre.

Charms: Lumos Maxima: white cover

Defense Against The Dark Arts: Grindylows: book set at the sea/coast.

Herbology: Mimbulus Mimbletonia: title that starts with an M.

History of Magic: Witch Hunts: books featuring witches/wizards

Muggle Studies: Book from a perspective of a muggle(contemporary).

Potions: Shrinking Solution: book under 150 pages.

Transfiguration: Animagus Lecture: book/series that includes shapeshifting.


After much plotting and planning, and then changing my mind completely, this is officially my tbr for the readathon:

Arithmancy:

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black

Charms:

The Crown's Game by Evelyn Skye

Defense Against The Dark Arts:

On a Coastal Breeze by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Herbology:

Mila 2.0 by Debra Driza

History of Magic:

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling

Muggle Studies:

The Bookworm Crush by Lisa Brown Roberts

Potions:

Second Impressions by Pepper D Basham

Transfiguration:

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer


I can't wait to dive into all of these amazing sounding books, and with the exception of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, they're all new reads for me.

I'm excited for this readathon, and I hope you're all planning on joining in on the fun. Find the details here, here  and here.

If you are planning on participating, I'd love to hear what career you picked, and what books you've chosen for the challenges. 

Have a great rest of your day guys! See you all soon :)
