It’s the end of summer and work is still work from home, so having some extra time to engage in hobbies means I am looking at doing some Readathons in August for fun. There are plenty of Readathons this month, but I only chose two:<\/p>\n

Tome Topple<\/h3>\n

Tome Topple<\/a> I chose because I received an ARC that is a whopping 600 pages and needs to be read by end of August – so why not participate in a readathon dedicated entirely to books over 500 pages? Motivation! This readathon spans August 8th until the 21st.<\/p>\n

Prompts:<\/strong><\/td>\nThe Book:<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
