I noticed that I never did a TBR on the blog for the last round, which was in March. That's because the last round is what helped me dig myself out of a reading slump that I'm still kind of battling. My reading has ben sloooow this year, but readathons are always a great way to find my motivation. Hopefully, this go around will help me kick my slump all together! Before I tell you what I'm planning on reading this round, why don't I tell you more about the actual readathon. The Trope-ical Readathon is a month-long, team-based readathon created and run by Jenny @ JenJenReviews and her partner, @BookRob. It centers around reading books that feature specific "tropes". Think stuff like "found family" and the ever contested "love triangle". There are thirteen general prompts geared towards thirteen different tropes, so there's bound to be at least a couple you love! For all the info and to join a team, just check out the Trope-ical Readathon website. All that said, let me share all the prompts and what I'm hoping to read for each one! Team Fantasy Challenges Team Book (New) Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi This African loose retelling of the legend of Persephone sounds like something I would absolutely love! It promises high stakes, political intrigue, and a woman claiming her power. Also, I'm in awe of the cover. It's absolutely stunning! This book is a recent release but I've already heard amazing things about it. I can't wait to give it a read in August. Team Challenge #1: "Talking Animal" Trope Wundersmith by Jessica Townsend I've been meaning to continue my read of the Nevermoor series and, yet, I still haven't picked up the second book. It's been lost of the shuffle of all the new books I buy or check out from the library, heh. But this challenge gives me the perfect excuse to get back into the series! I'm excited to go back to the Wonderous Society and see how our girl Morrigan is getting on. Team Challenge #2: "Unlikely Allies" Trope Five Broken Blades by Mai Corland I've wanted to read this book since I picked it up from Book of the Month Club. It features deadly people thrown together to complete a job who are, more than likely, ready to turn on each other in a heartbeat. If that's not the definition of "unlikely allies", I don't know what is! I'm excited to see how they work together and what the end results will be. I'm guessing murder. | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
