March Readathon Madness!
March has turned out to be a huge month for readathons. This month I attempted 4 readathons and had a pretty bad start on all of them! However, I did get in some good books, even if some of them missed the actual readathon dates and I managed to catch up a bit by the end of the month. These are all recurring so if you like the look of them you can join in for the next round. I plan to join in again for all of these.
Most of my library reservations didn't arrive till the day after it ended but I still enjoyed the three I did manage in that week. The Sprite and the Gardener by Rii Abrego & Joe Whitt was particularly cute but my favourite was one I read the week after, Mooncakes by Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker. I'm so glad I listened to the many, many recommendations for this one.
I just couldn't find many books that fit the keywords so didn't rack up many points. I still managed to read 8 books in the right genres though. My favourite was Wendington Jones and the Missing Tree by Daniel Dockery, an exciting adventure across the world to discover the Tree of Life.
I generally don't like the typical tropes so wasn't sure about this one but when I read about it, it sounded lots of fun. I like month long challenges best too, a week is too restrictive. The other good thing here was that I could include the books I read for the other readathons, apart from not accepting graphic novels for the prompts which I thought was a bit of a shame when novellas were still included! I loved the book I read for the Multiple POVs trope which was The Last One to Fall by Gabriella Lepore. This one kept me guessing all the way through.
A Year in Aeldia (Magical Readathon)
As a bonus, this one lasts all year with 1 prompt a month but is actually part of an ongoing multi-year readathon. I've been doing this for a few years now and always look forward to the next round in April. You can start at any time and there's even a video to help newbies catch up. For March, I had to Fight a Giant and read Lore Olympus: Volume 5. I've really been enjoying this series but I'm trying not to read it all at once.
