aaah that's the one!!! thank you, I still couldn't remember it, I can finally rest hahaha
G I began to read Fourth Wing and actually loved the disability rep. It actually really touched me as someone with arthritis and a lot of it was her accepting she did have limitations and the practical things she had to do in order to feel long term benefits.
So exciting to hear your opinion on Forth wing, Yellowface and Divine rivals. I know you will be honest! 😊
i have read fourth wing. i am actually on a reread to highlight and take notes. it really does not shy away from her chronic pain which i really liked since i live with that as well.
I loved Sea of Tranquility, definitely one of my favourite books from last year. If you've read Station Eleven and/or The Glass Hotel by the same author, they all take place in the same universe and there is some lovely intertextuality!
Hahahaahaha fellow "let's make this harder on myself" here, as well. Went from Mage Hunter to Star Whisperer, so I also have an 8-book requirement. We got this, though, you and I. I had a blast putting together my TBR, which is 100% different than yours. :D
Sea of Tranquility is really, really good. I think I only had two 5 stars this year and it was one of them.
I think you’ll love Sea of Tranquility, it’s very character based! I would say writers and lovers is a funny literary fiction with some messy romance. One of my favs!
👀okay but I want to see you roast Fourth Wing :slippychaos:

I’ve read Fourth Wing and LOVED it. It’s not perfect but sooooo fun!
I ❤ Fourth Wing & Divine Rivals - I hope you do too! Sending gentle hugs for the chronic migraines. 🫂 My hubby used to get cluster migraines all the time. 😢
writers & lovers is one of my fav books!! hope you love it :)
Just found your channel and the readathon. After watching some of your videos i decided to start with the novice path and character building and than join the school seasons next year. Prompts are written down, will set up my tbr tomorrow and then get started on August 1st.
I read and enjoyed Yellowface! Curious to hear your review. So excited for the readathon! I am starting with Uzumaki.
So excited for August!
yeeeeeees, sea of tranquiltyyy! :D The audiobook is really good btw.

very much noted! 👀
Omg!! I read sea of tranquility a couple weeks ago and thought "oooh I think its a book G would enjoy" (I recently read how high we go in the dark because of your recommendation and loved it! And there is something about the storytelling that is similar between the two books although I'm not sure what 😅). Aaaanyway, I wanted to recommend it to you at some point and you are already going to read it!! Very curious to hear your thoughts! And happy reading in august! Hope your overall health improves soon! ✨

I loved that book! Hope you liked it as well ☺️
Hi! I am new here, just learned about the Magical Readathon and will be participating. I loved Yellowface and the audiobook is excellent!!! It is totally unhinged so you need to go in ready to suspend your disbelief, but it is so much fun and the themes are so good ❤ hope you like it!
I know July was horrible for migraines and for my fibromyalgia. I’m hoping August is better in the health and reading Fourth Wing sounds interesting if I were reading anything other then my owned books. I might be setting myself for failure I’m doing Necromancer and Demonology I’m also going for my Dragon Riding License. I can’t wait for July 29th to start Orilium. Awesome Tbr. Hope you luck in the second semester of Orilium. Hope your health is better in August Happy reading
If you can manage, I would love a reading vlog ☺️ Putting together the tbr is always my favorite part of the readathon!
Currently reading Witch King and I'd say that the worldbuilding is complex & a bit difficult to follow at times, as the author doesn't explain much! I'd recommend the audiobook for this one, the narrator is great 🥰
I loved Sea of tranquility so much! Hope you like it too! It was such a quick and bingeable read
i'm still going through my tbr trying to find something set in the future, but i think i'll def pick up the witch king for demonology!
So happy you liked the first volume of One Piece and that you'll continue the series😁❤️❤️
Oh, snap! I also got Divine Rivals for the book I saw on an app (it was instagram for me). Hope we both enjoy it :)
I'm excited to see if you like The Sea of Tranquility because I'm torn. I hated station eleven but this premise seems enjoyable.
Thank you for your book Remedition . I start to listen to your books I think very interesting if can help you maybe we can help both each other understand these books together.😍🤩😘🤣😂
I've read Witch King by Martha Wells and it was enjoyable, a 4/5 star read! It's definitely a book that drops you in the middle of the world and doesn't do a lot of up front explanations on how everything works so you learn as you go a long. Some people don't enjoy that, but I do and did with this book.
I just picked up my books from my indie bookstore! Let the magical studying being 🎉 thanks G! ❤
I'm reading Fourth Wing for one of my classes because it is what I saw on social media first lol but I can certainly vouch for Yellowface and Divine Rivals being amazing, both books just really captivated me
This is such a cool readathon!! Sad I've missed out on the previous editions but I will look into how I get into this and I'll try to participate next time if I'm not too late to the party. This August I will watch from the sidelines :D
I'm excited that you're continuing the One Piece journey! You'll definitely love the nect couple of volumes uf you enjoyed the first one.
A lot of these are on my general TBR. Excited to see what you think. I read Yellowface and found it very fast and engaging to read.
Fantastic TBR - I can't wait to see what you think! All of the qualifications/quests this time are so tempting, I'm having a hard time putting together my TBR haha
Sending you all the love and support ❤ Hope you have a better month in August. The books all sound good!
I still haven’t even thought up a potential list of books that would work for some prompts yet…. I can’t wait for this semester to start… I’ve just been procrastinating
I hope your work trip will be great! And good luck with your TBR🎉
Omg which tarot deck is that? It’s so beautiful 😍 If you do get to Divine Rivals, I hope you enjoy it! It’s def one of my favorite books of the first half of the year!
Omg, what Tarot Cards are those?! I love those. I would love to get those for my collection

It's the Light Seer's Tarot. The art style is so beautiful.
having not read it myself, i'm very curious to see what you think of fourth wing!
I’m reading Fourth Wing for a different prompt but super hyped🤗🎉
Yellowface is on my TBR! Inscription 'O' pick for me :D I'm so glad you are enjoying One Piece and hope you love volumes 2 and 3!!
I'm starting the readathon only this time and I have made it highly challenging by picking two callings and trying to finish both hoping I'll get through at least one😂
I'm so jealous of people who can read so much! I only have 1 job, but I can only manage one book every week, most likely every 12 days.
I loved Sea of tranquility ❤
I know what I'm gonna read for the dragon riding and the quest, no concrete plan for the actual classes. Priorities😛
I think you have some amazing choices on your TBR. I really enjoyed Fourth Wing and Divine Rivals. I also want to read the Witch King but we will have to see how things go because I have my second semester of graduate school starting in August.

I feel like I need to add that there are some slow times in Fourth Wing. I had not really seen anyone talk about that so when I read it I had some moments when I wasn’t as connected with it because of pacing. I haven’t seen many people talk about that but I wanted to mention it.
Good luck with your reading!!
Have a great month.
I have chronic migraines everyday. I understand
i’m sooooo scared of your review of Fourth Wing 🤣 but i hope you do like it!

I Have read writers and lovers (it is not really romance based but more her trying to find herself). This book had the most beautiful quote I have ever read but I will not spoil it😊 Also read Sea of Tranquility, didnt love it but time travel is not really my vibe. Hope you love it❤❤
yes to reading vlogs!! gotta know what you think of fourth wing and sea of tranquility

Fourth Wing was NOT the best Chronic Illness representation -at least for me it wasn't. I was super excited since i heard the author herself has something similar as the main character has and thought, that should be great rep. But sadly it was very much one of those cases where the chronic illness was only remembered when it was convenient -like for example when the height or strength of the main character was an issue - but basically forgotten during any other time. The beginning was promising since that has the most and well done rep. But to me it felt a bit like the author said that if you have something chronic just work harder and deal with it. As someone that also has chronic pain and chronic migraines -especially bad ones this year- i found that a bit disappointing. I enjoyed the book overall well enough. Its fun and while i don't think the extreme hype is needed, its a good book and a fun read. Just don't get your hopes up as i did with the chronic ill rep :)

Hi. The expression is "under your belt". :) I'm sure you get asked this all the time, but where are you from? God bless!
I'm reading Yellowface this month too though not for this readathon
A couple of those books has gone directly to my tbr 😊, and I have Yellowface too on my Orilium tbr!! Also, no Junji Ito between your reads? 👀😂

Read fourth eing and divine rivals 👀 loved both books. Found the ending of divine rivals a bit anticlimactic though ( but I guess thats quite the unpopular opinion...)! Cant wait to hear your thoughts on them! Ps. Loved the sparkels/glitter

I agree, the ending of Divine Rivals fell flat for me too. But I still love that book and still gave it 5 stars. I was just disappointed in how it ended.

I have a dislike for society using phrase "love triangle" whenever it's actually more of a 'love angle' Unless there is attraction 3 ways there is one side lacking to become a trangle 😅
Fourth Wing - I can’t understand the hype. I did not hate but I thought it read super YA - like the main character sounds about 14. Then there is graphic sex. I don’t mind sex in my books but I thought this was stupid.
Im so excited for Fourth Wing bc main has the condition of Ehlers-Danlos which is a very painful and hard illness I too have it and i want to see how the author does with it especially in a fantasy book
