What's better than pirates? Space pirates. And what's better than space pirates? Clearly Scallywag A Thon, a pirate themed readathon that is based on space pirates this year.
I just found out about it last week, but Scallywag A Thon starts tomorrow and runs May 5-12. There are multiple paths to take along the map to find where X marks the treasure. In order to make it to the X, there are at least four challenges to complete. You can check out the map here if you are interested in joining me in this quest!
This was my first readathon making a bullet journal spread for. I'm actually considering making a post about my starting to bullet journal, but I thought it was fun to create a spread for this readathon, despite my lackluster artistic abilities.
Fair warning, I do have problems sticking to a TBR, so this is likely to not end up being what I actually read during the readathon. I definitely have mood reading tendencies.
For my starting point, I chose the number two, Extraterrestrial, challenge, which is a book from a genre you don't normally read. For this challenge, I went with Anyone but the Earl by Irene Davis. It's a historical romance and that typically isn't what I choose to read, but I still do occasionally. Typically I stick to fantasy or contemporary though, so this book definitely fits the bill for this challenge. I actually got a physical ARC for this book, which is my first which makes me especially excited to be able to check out.
From there, I decided to move on to the number seven challenge, which was Blow Down the Man. That challenge is to read a book by a female author. I'm reading Rise of Fire by Sophie Jordan. I love the first book, Reign of Shadows, and can't wait to read the sequel, even though I am slightly nervous that it won't meet my expectations. But that is the problem with reading!
Then I choose to move onto the detour B, Angle of Attack. This challenge is a book about a problem facing society today. I plan on reading The Transmigration of Bodies by Yuri Herrera, which is about contemporary issues in Mexico. I only read half of it for a school project but I want to finish definitely.
My last challenge to reach the X is number ten, which is Assessing the Booty, or a recently hauled book. I haven't actually had a multibook haul since like January because college is complicated, but I did pick up a discount book from Books a Million in April, so that's what I plan on reading. That book is Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum, which I'm excited to read.
And that's my TBR for Scallywag A Thon! Are you participating? Be sure to let me know what you're planning on reading in the comments! Remember, it's not too late to decide to participate!
Thanks for reading!

This is the first I've heard of it! Thanks for sharing. I don't know if I could find three books with space pirates, though...unless they were all Trek books, I guess. :p
