You know, sometimes I just think that I will never learn. I. Will. Never. Learn.
What did I not learn? Not to join a lot of readathons with too many prompts, obviously. Have I done it anyway? Yes. Yes, I have.
But on the other hand, the readathon I joined for August is something great. It’s called the Trope-ical Readathon and has tons of amazing prompts, sprints and lovely talks on twitter.
To get more information just click on the banner down below and take a look! You can still join us until the 8th!
There a different regular challenge prompts or alternate prompts for you to choose from. I have chosen these books and hope that I will stick to them. But it’s also very likely that I will swap out some for something different.

Thank you! 💙 You can still join if you want. There are also other teams like romance or thriller if that’s more down your alley. 🤗
That looks so intense! I wish I had more time for them. There’s no way I could work a readathon in with everything else I got going right now.
Good luck though!
You’re finally reading The House in the Cerulean Sea?! *flails* I want to know everything you think about it. I still need to read Aurora Rising and Arlo Finch, too. As always, you’ve introduced me to some new MG books that I’m definitely gonna look up. Good luck with your readathon. Hope you get through a good chunk of these!
I’ve just discovered the greatness that is the readathon, but I do have to spread them out. 😍 I love that it forces me to read some of my backlist books. I wish you the best of luck!
