Hey guys, so I’m sure you’ve been seeing a lot of these posts going around. I am super excited to announce that I will be participating in the OWLS Magical Readathon which is hosted by the lovely G @ Book Roast. Here is the announcement video for this years readathon.
This is a readathon I’ve wanted to participate for a while now. I just never did. So this is new to me but I am very excited about it. I know this year G really went above and beyond. She made a whole booklet which has all the prompts for the readathon, which you can find here, as well as requirements for wizarding careers, which you can find here, for the NEWTS readathon that happens in August.
So for this readathon I did pick a career. I decided to pick the Auror career. It sounded really badass and just something I knew I would never do if had the chance. So I decided I’d live dangerously through this readathon. I also picked books for the other prompts as well just in case I wanted to read more for the readathon. So I’ll be posting all my picks for all the prompts. So let’s dive in!

I was thinking of reading Station Eleven for that one!! I also thought about doing it as a group read but obviously ended up not for some reason. I hope you enjoy all of them!

I have heard nothing but great things about Station Eleven. It’s a book I have wanted to pick up for a while but haven’t. I’m glad to finally urge myself to read it.

I almost went for the Auror career, too! I ended up switching to Healer in the end. This is such a good TBR! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Sadie.
