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:

Tome Topple

Tome Topple 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.

Prompts:

The Book:

The tome you’ve most recently acquired:

Page count 600

The tome that has been on your TBR the longest:

Page count 576

(Bonus prompt if there is time)
