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 :)

First Line Friday: Carolina Breeze

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week! Mine has actually been pretty good. We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like. We've also had a couple of lovely, rainy days as well, and I love how green everything is looking in our yard right now. For today's post, I'm excited to once again be linking up with the lovely Hoarding Books  for another edition of First Line Friday. This fun weekly meme simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. For this week's first line, I'm going to be sharing from Denise Hunter's recently released title that I ended up absolutely loving. Carolina Breeze by Denise Hunter: About The Book: A jilted bride.

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
