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) |
 |
Fates and Fortunes Readathon
Fates and Fortunes Readathon – Basically a super neat readathon based on the tarot. Each book chosen represents one card from the tarot deck. It has a Discord Server and spans August 1st to the 31st.
