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 :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Characters I'd name a child/cat/dog/car/ etc After.

Happy Tuesday guys! I enjoyed Top Ten Tuesday so much last week, that I decided to go ahead and take part again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish, and here's the link to the main page if you're interested in becoming a part of it: http://www.brokeandbookish.com/p/top-ten-tuesday-other-features.html Today's topic is: Ten Characters I'd Name A Child/Cat/Dog/Car/ etc After, and I think it's going to be a really fun one. First, Characters I'd Name a Pet after: 1) Katsa from Kristin Cashore's Graceling: I have to start with Katsa, since it is actually what we named our adorable black and white kitten almost a year ago. She's grown so much since this picture, but this was taken right after we decided on her name. We tried several different book characters, but Katsa is the one she loved right away, and so is what we ended up going with. 2) Rose from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academ...
