Ashley’s April Wrap Up

04.30.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

April was such a good reading month! I did two major readathons, OWLs Readathon and End Game Readathon (hosted by Kari and I), and successfully completed both.  I even read some things that weren’t on my TBRs for my readathons, and read some short stories with my English 11 class. I read 21 things this month, which is pretty good if you ask me!  I loved almost everything I read, so I really can’t complain about it all that much.

Ashley’s March Wrap Up

04.04.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

March has come to an end.  I have no idea where the time went, but here we are getting ready for April.  This wasn’t my best reading month, and I seem to recall that last March I read almost thirty books.  So this month wasn’t quite that, but considering I took a lengthy vacation where I visited one of my best friends in the world and had minimal time to read, I did pretty good.  This month I read 20 books, and I will say on the whole that it was filled with some really good reads. My lowest rated book was two stars, and I had several five star reads. Without further ado, let’s just get into the breakdown of what I read in March.

Kari’s #endgamereadathon TBR

Fact: I have never participated in a readathon before.

It should be a piece o’ cake, right? Nevertheless, here is my TBR list for such the occasion.

Ashley’s #endgamereadathon and OWLs Readathon TBR

03.25.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

Readathons, readathons! Readathons galore!!  I never really knew that readathons were a thing until I got more involved in the online bookish community.  Before that, reading was always a solitary comfort activity for me. I never knew that it could be a competitive thing that people did for achievement.  That being said, I will admit to being somewhat competitive and also that I love the idea of readathons. It’s interesting to me to try and push myself as far as I can with my reading to see how much I can get read in one month.  I’ve always been more interested in the month long ones, but I might have to try to do a week long one at some point. I also want to try and do a 24 hour readathon at some point, but I also really value sleep so who knows if I ever will.

Do love reading and the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

If so, we have a great opportunity for you: an Avengers: End Game themed readathon!

Each prompt is inspired by one of our favourite heroes, and they range from fairly specific to somewhat general but they are all fairly open to your interpretation!  We hope you’ll join us on bookstagram on this adventure as we ramp up to the premiere of Avengers: End Game. Let us know if you’re in by posting pictures/stories with the hashtag #endgamereadathon.

Basic Guidelines
💫 Readathon starts March 24th, 2019 and ends April 24th, 2019
💫 Use our hashtag: #endgamereadathon
💫 Post your TBR so we can see what you’re reading (and maybe shout you out)
💫 Read as much or as little as you’d like
💫 Feel free to combine prompts. If you can somehow manage to combine all 29 prompts in one books, we will salute you heartily!*
💫 Feel free to try to challenge yourself and read a book based on each individual prompt.  If you can read 29 books in the month long period, we will salute you heartily.*
💫 Any genre, or type of book can be read during this readathon as long as it fits one of the prompts!
💫 If you have any questions, please let us know!

A: These are my books for the March #tbrtacklechallenge prompts. I have two options for a classic because I’m not sure which I will read yet.  I also have some eARCs that I want to check out and some audiobooks signed out from the library.
.
.
I can’t believe it’s March already.  I feel like this year has been flying by.  Just two more weeks til spring break which marks a year since the start of the quarantining and locking down in my province.  We went off for spring break and didn’t come back for a few months.  It’s been a strange year but I’m ready for that time off.

Hi friends 💙 So we all know Geralt is from the Hi friends 💙

So we all know Geralt is from the school of the Wolf. However, there’s also the Cat (also known to produce “evil”), Bear, Griffin, Viper, Manticore, and Crane. I think I’d like to be part of the Wolf or the Bear or Viper schools to be honest!

That being said, what are some of your favorite books with animals in them?

Hi friends! 💙 Hope your Sunday is going well. Hi friends! 💙

Hope your Sunday is going well. I just finished by case brief and compare and contrast for my class, so I’m feeling rather accomplished right now.

What are you currently reading?

Right now I’m reading A Song of Wraiths and Ruins. It’s so good!

I’m excited to pick up this badass lady series as well.
