{Read-A-Thon} TomeTopple TBR


Hey, guys! 


It's that time again! The Tome Topple read-a-thon is here! I know this is going up pretty late, but I have no regrets. I've already announced my TBR on Twitter and Instagram, so if you'd like more prompt updates, go on ahead and check those out! This year I'm keeping it pretty chill and reading books I've already started and books that I know I won't finish in the two weeks. 4 books with over 500 pages in two weeks is pretty ambitious. I already have so many books that I should be reading, so this should be fun. I'm definitely going to be reading more than just these books. I have too many books to get to. Here are the books I'm hoping to get to!





I originally planned to try to read 5 books for this readathon, but I've reduced it down to 4. I have quite a few books to get to in July, so I'm hoping to get through these beautiful books. 


  1. Tower of Dawn (Throne of Glass #6) by Sarah J. Maas
    • 664 pages
    • I went into the readathon with 100 pages read of this beautiful book. I'm not too worried about "cheating" my goal is to just finish these books. 
  2. Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
    • 525 pages
    • Alex is very excited about this. He loved CBB. 
  3. Obsideo (The Illuminae Files #3) by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman
    • 615 pages
    • I might try to find the audiobook for this one. I loved listening and reading to Illuminae and Gemina.
  4. Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows #2) by Leigh Bardugo
    • 546 pages 
    • I'm actually 1/2 through this one. I just need to finish this book. I've feared finishing it for too long. I'm buddy reading CK with a bunch of lovely ladies on Instagram for the next week. 

Total Page Count: 2,350
# of Pages I Should Read Per Day: 168

Time Frame: June 29 - July 12


Challenges:

1. Read more than 1 tome ~ I have 4 books! 2. Read a graphic novel (still over 500 pages!) ~ not doing 3. Read a tome that is part of a series ~any of my books 4. Buddy read a tome ~Crooked Kingdom 5. Read an adult novel ~ not doing

[TomeTopple: Round 4] Wrap Up



Hey, guys!

     Round 4 of TomeTopple was actually my first attempt at tackling my huge tomes on my TBR through this readathon.This was a really fun experience, but because I started so last minute and because I wasn't too worried about my reading the past week, it's no surprise that I didn't do that great. I managed to finish one tome. This tome was also the book that I was already 150 pages into, so it's not as great of a win. 

If you didn't know that I was taking part in this readathon, then here is the link to my TBR! Click here to see my crazy ambitious TBR!


My Wrap Up:

I only finished 1 tome! I mean I read more than one book between August 4th and 14th, but I only read one actual tome.

19549841

I read Seraphina for TomeTopple. 
This book was 499 pages long and I gave it 4.25 stars. 
I'll have a review up soon! I'm excited to discuss this book with everyone. 
I should have read this book a long time ago!

Challenges Fulfilled:
1. Read more than 1 tome 
3. Read a tome that is part of a series 


I'm not really that proud that I only read one tome, but I'm still not worried about it. I'll take part in another round when I have time. 

Happy reading!
Olivia
