Reverse Readathon TBR

I've decided that blogging at least once a month has to be a success.

I just gave up on alphabethon for this month because I was just busy. I read about two and a half books total, which isn't bad but definitely is not what I need for my goodreads goal. I'm twenty four books behind schedule. Oops.

For the reverse readathon, which begins in about three hours, I went with library books, because I'm moving five and a half hours away in four weeks and I want to read books that I can't bring with me.

I chose the first book of two middle grade series that I loved a few years ago. I want to start back into middle grade because there have been so many amazing science fiction and fantasy MG books that have come out since I stopped reading them. So the first two books in my stack are The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Christopher Healy and The Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer, which I also have on audiobook.

Boyfriends With Girlfriends by Alex Sanchez I have on ebook. I am really excited about this one and plan to use it for late at night when I want the lights off.

I have had Reign of Shadows by Sophie Jordan and Look Both Ways by Alison Cherry out from the library for a while and I am really looking forward to both of them.

I just checked out I Love I Hate I Miss My Sister by Amelie Sarn and Rainbow Boys by Alex Sanchez (and wow I just realized that I have two Alex Sanchez novels on my TBR).

Overall, I know this is really short by I am definitely looking forward to start! I am going to a baseball game tomorrow. I read 977 pages in the last readathon and can't wait to beat that mark and this time I want to time it better.

What are your readathon goals?

Unique Settings

Last week, I ran out of time to do my Top Ten Tuesday post, but I still loved the prompt of settings that I'd like to see more of. Since this week was a freebie, I decided to go ahead and do this prompt. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. The books I have read from these books have been absolutely amazing in the majority of circumstances, but there needs to be so much more, especially in traditional publishing for a wide range of audiences, though some of these are best suited to YA or NA. So, let's get started! 4H- I spent twelve years as a member of local 4H, and I have only read one book that ever had showing livestock at a county fair as a plotline. It was amazing, but I haven't seen this aspect of my life in any other book. I have a few ideas based on my experiences

August Six Degrees

I recently discovered the Six Degrees of Separation meme for book blogs, and it looks like a lot of fun, so I decided to start this month, and see how it goes! This month's prompt is a wild card. Since I didn't do this last month, I'm starting with the book that I'm currently in the middle of- The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. First Link: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan These books are both by the same author, but also they are both the books that got me into that specific type of mythology in the first place, both Greek and Egyptian. I've learned so much after becoming interested based on these books in the first place. Second Link: Pandora Gets Jealous by Carolyn Hennesy Both of these books are takes on Greek mythology. Percy Jackson is modern day, but Pandora is set back then. Still, the main characters are both awesome and their interactions with the Greek gods and other Greek mythical beings are just amazing. Third Link: The Frog Princess

Anticipated Releases

Welcome back to another week of Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl with prompts every week! This one was surprisingly hard for me, maybe because I'm not really in the middle of any great series right now and all of the authors I read a lot aren't releasing this fall. I did include multiple books that I already got from Netgalley but they have not yet come out and I am behind but I still want to read them because I'm excited about their potential and hope that they are as amazing as I wish. So let's get started! Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst- Mare and Denna are an amazing sapp hic couple. I loved Of Ice and Shadows, and I absolutely cannot wait to read the sequel, but I have to. I am really excited for this book. Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan- I got my sister the first book for Christmas and still haven't read it, but this is another amazing sapphic series that I need to read. My sister loved
