In case I wasn't already busy enough in April, I decided to participate in the OWLs Magical Readathon, hosted on Twitter. It's based on the Hogwarts universe and testing system. There are twelve subjects for OWLs, just like in the original series. The host made some amazing art for careers, but for this month's readathon, I decided to just go for all twelve books/subjects and decide on a career path in time for the NEWTs readathon in August.
One note before I begin, but I completed one book in the Charms extra credit readathon back in October which means I get to start my Charms book one day early, today on Sunday, which works perfectly for me since I have the audiobook and a five and a half hour drive.
So let's get into the subjects, prompts, and probable reads. I say probable because chances are that I will end up switching some books in and out because I am awful at making and sticking with TBRs.
Ancient Runes is definitely one of the subjects that I would take if I was at Hogwarts and the prompt was retelling. I plan on reading Beau and Bett by Kathryn Berla. It's a Beauty and the Beast contemporary retelling and I've been super excited to read it but haven't found the time to yet.
The prompt for Arithmancy is work written by more than one author. This book was easy to find a book for because I am so ready to read What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera because I love their individual works and have heard some great things.
The Astronomy prompt was star in the title. I decided to reread Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst. I loved this book the first time that I read it and can't wait for the sequel, Of Ice and Shadows, coming out in August. Like, I've screamed about this book multiple times can't wait for it.
For Care of Magical Creatures, the prompt is book with a land animal on the cover. I honestly don't know what to read for this prompt yet, so if you have any good suggestions you should let me know. I'm at school with a limited supply of books and whatever I can get on the Ohio Ebook library so while I can get books, it's hard to choose books.
I get an extra day for Charms, for the prompt age line: read an adult work. I plan on reading my mom's favorite book, Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie. I have it on audiobook which is fantastic because I definitely will be able to get through it within a few days with my long drive today.
For the prompt Reducto: title starts with an R, in potions, I decided to read Rise of Fire by Sophie Jordan. I absolutely adore Reign of Shadows and I am so excited to read this book and probably should have a while ago.
The Divination prompt is a book set in the future. I think I'm going to read The Fever King by Victoria Lee for this prompt. I have heard so many amazing things about this book and I cannot wait to read it. I hope it lives up to the hype.
In Herbology, the prompt was a book with a plant on the cover. I plan on rereading The Distance Between Lost and Found by Kathryn Holmes. I love this book and can't wait to read it again.
The History of Magic prompt is a book that was published over ten years ago, and I love how cute this prompt is and how perfect. I'm probably going to read Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher, which is an amazing book and definitely worth a read and a reread.
For a contemporary read from the Muggle Studies prompt, I plan on reading Up For Air by Laurie Morrison. This book looks really cute and enjoyable and I can't wait to get into it. It also releases May 7, so it's probably best to read it in April.
The next ingredient prompt for Potions is a sequel. I have a few sequels already on this list, but I plan on reading The Last of August by Brittany Cavallaro. I read A Study in Charlotte this month and I can't wait to read the sequel. I only read it two weeks ago but if I wasn't so busy, then this book would already be read.
I made it through to the last subject and prompt! For Transfiguration, a book with sprayed edges or a red cover. I'm going to read Inkmistress by Audrey Coulthurst, which I am really excited about as well because the female MC's ex girlfriend is a dragon so that's an amazing premise to read.
So that's my tbr! Are you participating in the Magical Readathon this time about? If so, how are you handling the career and what's your tbr.
This month is going to be crazy and I am so not ready for it, but I am also so excited about all of these things that are going to happen.
Thanks for reading!
