So my TBR for this readathon was super ambitious and I only read for the Scribe route but I read nearly 3000 pages so I was very happy.
Here were my prompts:
Dwarf Mount: You spot a fair tavern wench, however the Dwarf Mines, grimey and dusty, didn’t evoke a very romantic feeling. Read a book with a hint of romance to get you in the mood. – Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller (311 pages) –COMPLETED
Apothecary Towers: Where the wizards dwell. Tricksters. They have blind-folded you and randomised all your books, choose a book at random from your bookshelf. – Shatter me by Tahereh Mafi (338 pages) – COMPLETED
The Great Library: Ahh the great archives, find and read a book that has been on your TBR forever. – Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (517 pages) DNF – So for this prompt I actually used my ability to change Carry On to a book not declared on my TBR as long as it meets the prompt, so I ended up changing it to Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Manisclaco (424 pages) – COMPLETED
The Drowning Deep: The Whirlpool… is so…. mesmerising. Read a book with rich world-building that will suck you into its own world, instead. – The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson (1124 pages)
The Bookie Grail: Here you find a lost manuscript, delivered on this forgotten island by a fallen star. Read the group book: Stardust by Neil Gaiman (248 Pages) – COMPLETED
