The Loyal Book-a-Thon | The Quarantine Edition

03.25.2020 by Ashley // 1 Comment

Hello, friends!ย  Kari and I are starting a new regular readathon, which we are calling The Loyal Book-a-Thon.ย  Every three-four month we will have a new theme, and our first theme is ‘The Quarantine Edition.’ย  Obviously, we were inspired by current events.ย  Our intent is not to make light of the situation, but to have some fun despite everything that’s happening.ย  Some people might have more time to read, so we thought it was good timing.

One of my favourite places to read is in the tub.  I know itโ€™s a little bit weird but thereโ€™s something really relaxing about shutting out the rest of the world and escaping into a book.  Itโ€™s a small piece of perfection.
.
.
The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd was a book that I read for my staff book club.  It was a fascinating read with wondrous elements of magical realism that felt marvellously woven into the narrative.  I felt like I learned a lot about maps as well.  The characters were interesting.

.

A: I feel like lately Iโ€™ve been really preoccupied with the number of books that I read per year as opposed to reading the long books that pile up on my shelves.  I get scared by how big the book is and how itโ€™s a much bigger time commitment.  However, I often find that when I finally commit myself to the big book I end up loving it.

A: I find itโ€™s hard to fully answer this question even though I am the one who is asking the question.  However, I find that sometimes the perfect book for me will hit me in my nostalgia for books that I read as a kid or in my interests from when I was little. 
.
.
I found out about this book, Daughters of a Dead Empire, through #booktok and it was an instant buy for me when I figured out the plot.  I loved the premise of what if Anastasia Romanov survived the execution of her family and how that might have played out.  I loved this story!  The dual points of view were really well done and I loved the story arc.  It was well written and I highly recommend it.

What is a book youโ€™re dying for a show/movie adaptation of?

I just wanted to get the chance to show off one of the three Thrawn trilogies out there. Iโ€™m so excited for Ahsoka because I love her and my girl Sabine Wren is gonna be in it. Also, Thrawn hahaha

Ah, tomorrow Iโ€™m seeing Taylor Swift and I still canโ€™t believe it! If you want a pic/media spam of my adventure, just let me know and Iโ€™ll send it your way.

Have a wonderful Friyay!

Whatโ€™s a book that was recommended to you?

My friend Liz read the first book by Piper CJ and really recommended it! I love getting book recs from friends!

Thanks so much to @read_bloom for sending me these copies of The Night and Its Moon and the sequel, The Sun and Its Shade! Iโ€™ve heard a lot about this story so Iโ€™m very interested to see what itโ€™s about. The covers are so pretty!

Right now Iโ€™m currently rereading Garden Spells and itโ€™s helping my slump. @love.books.and.coffee thanks for the idea ๐Ÿ’™
