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: 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...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

First Line Friday: Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake

Happy Friday Friends :) There's so many reasons I'm excited that it's once again Friday. I'm excited to be taking part in another edition of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books , but I'm also excited to be featuring one of my favorite author's new releases for this week's edition. First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
