Are you participating in the OWLs Magical Readathon? If so, what career did you pick?
This is my first time participating in this readathon and I'm so excited! I picked the Aurologist career because it seems really interesting to me. There's also only 3 prompts for this career which is great for me because I've been slacking in my reading recently...
The 3 prompts for this career are:
○ Astronomy - Read majority of this book when it's dark outside. I picked The Hate U Give for this prompt.
○ Divination - Randomly pick a book using a number generator. I picked The Familiars for this.
○ History of Magic - Read a book with wizards/witches in it. I picked Tower of Dawn for this. I don't actually know if this book will have wizards/witches in it, but the previous books include Manon who is obviously a witch so I'm including it 😂🤷‍♀️

All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
One of my favourite books of all time and remains so on my third reread of it. 5 stars as always.
(read for the Arithmancy prompt for the Magical Readathon 2020)

5/30 days left of the semester (i’m only counting school days)
~ 2020 Quarantine Challenge ~
week one, saturday & sunday - where in your house is your favorite place to study? what are you doing to relax?
I like to study in my bed but I know that’s just about the worst place to study. I can’t really study at the desk in my room because it’s in the darkest corner and I can’t put it next to a window. Sometimes I study in a big chair in my living room and it works pretty well if I’m just doing work on my computer. But lately, I’ve been doing most of my work at a card table that’s in our “home office.” It’s not really even an office. Our dogs’ beds are in there and the printer is in there. It’s mostly used to store things we don’t know what to do with at the moment. But the table is in front of a window and looks out onto the front yard. I can see the cow field across the street, the big oak tree in the yard, and the red tulips that are blooming. It’s really nice when it’s raining too because I can see it and hear when cars drive by on the wet road every now and then. That’s probalbly my favorite place to study right now when I can manage to drag myself out of bed.
To relax I’m doing a lot of reading and playing animal crossing! I’ve never played before so I’m really enjoying it and learning how it works. I read a whole book yesterday while my dad and brother took the canoe out on the lake. I got to sit with my mom and read while we listened to old One Direction songs and some of their newer solo stuff. I’m taking part in the OWLs Readathon this year so I already finished one of eight books I’m hoping to read this month! It’s been a good distraction.

OWLs Wrap-Up 2020
OWLs Wrap-Up 2020 #books #magicalreadathon
Hi all! I can’t believe we’re already at the end of the OWLs, and I’m very happy to say I managed to complete my OWLs to become a Magizoologist and a bonus course for Animagus training! This means I read 6 books for the OWLs this year.
If you’re confused or want to know more about how the OWLs works, I’d refer to my TBR post here which explains about the magical readathon.

2020 Magical Readathon
For the first time ever I am going to participate in the month long Magical Readathon.
For those of you who don’t know, it’s a Harry Potter themed Readathon based on the exams that Hogwarts students had to take. Each subject has a book prompt and each chosen career has specific subjects/prompts.
Tumblr media
For my career I chose the Astronomer.
Tumblr media
The books I chose are as follows:
Arithmacy: Happyface by Stephen Émond
Astronomy: Slay by Brittney Morris
History of Magic: The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
I will also be doing a 24 hour reading challenge tomorrow at 9 am (2 days, 12 hours each) which I will be posting updates on my instagram story. You can find it here:

The O.W.L.s are Coming! (April TBR)
Who else is excited?! I feel like we all need something fun and exciting right now, that doesn’t require us to, ya know, go out into the world
If you’re unfamiliar with the Magical Readathons, check out the site for all the details. It’s a month-long readathon in April, and the general idea is you pick a career and read books for the O.W.L.s you need for that career (plus any additional…

If you're participating in the OWLs Magical Readathon, how is it going?
I picked 2 careers: Aurologist and Seer, and I've completely all my OWLs for each career! Readathons are my main motivator for reading. I usually only finished 3 or 4 books in a month, and in April I think I'm nearing 10 books? Which might not be much for some people, but it's a LOT for me 😂
✨ Reading Update ✨
I'm currently reading Kingdom of Ash, and it's killing me. I have about 350 pages left and it's so intense. I'm battling the urge to read it all in one sitting because I really want to savour it 🥰

OWLs Readathon 2019
Hello beautiful people!
My name is Amanda and I am just becoming active in the online book community. I have been watching booktube for around five years, which is actually before I really got into reading and pretty much what made me get into reading. For a long time, I have wanted to be a part of the community, but I have been searching for the right platform to be a part of. I finally decided that a blog is the best choice for me and I am super excited to join this community of amazing people! 
I’ll be posting more about me and my reading interests soon, but for now, I want to talk about the OWLs Readathon (created by the lovely BookRoast on Youtube) which just started today and is the first readathon that I will be participating in. So I wanted to share my TBR here! I shared it on Twitter this morning (@biblioflower), but I wanted to add a little more depth to it. So here we go!
So this year the creator decided to add careers to the readathon (I’m not going to go into detail, but if you want more information head over to her channel, she has a whole video about it!), and I decided to pursue the career of a Hogwarts professor. So for that, I need OWLs in: a subject I would like to teach, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and 5 additional subjects. So here are the books I chose!
1. Charms: An adult book
This is the subject that I chose that I would like to teach. I think Charms is super cool and as much as we all love Professor Flitwick, eventually he’ll need a replacement and I’ll be right there prepared. So for this, I chose The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I don’t know if this is ~technically~ an adult book, but I have never read it and it’s been on my TBR for quite some time, so I decided to give it a go for this readathon. It also helps that it is quite short and will most likely be a quick read for me.
2. Defense Against the Dark Arts: A book that starts with the letter ‘R’
For this, I chose Rebel Springs by Morgan Rhodes. This is the second book in the Falling Kingdoms series. I read the first one last year and I was not crazy about it but I can definitely see the potential of this series and hope that it lives up to it.
3. Ancient Runes: A retelling
Okay, so something that you should know about me is that I am absolutely OBSESSED with The Little Mermaid. Like it’s my absolute all-time favorite movie. I picked up a copy of Part of Your World by Liz Braswell a couple months ago solely because it is a Little Mermaid retelling and have been dying to read it ever since, but things keep getting in the way (@life, mental health, school, y’all suck). When I saw this prompt I knew that I had to choose this one. This book is obviously a retelling of The Little Mermaid, but with a twist--Ariel never defeated Ursula. That’s pretty much all I know about it and I am super stoked to dive into this story.
4. Arithmancy: A book with 2+ authors
For this, I chose My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows. This book has been on my TBR for a hot minute and I’m excited to finally get around to it. I honestly don’t remember what exactly it is about, but I do know that it’s supposed to be a really fun/funny read.
5. Astronomy: A book with the word ‘star’ in the title
This is the book I chose to start with and let me tell you I am LOVING it. The book is The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi. This book is about a girl whose horoscope when she was born foretold a marriage of death and destruction, and because of this she was hated and feared by most everyone in her father, the Raja’s, kingdom. Until she marries a mysterious king from a land she’s never heard of. I am about 50% through this one already (it’s still April 1 and the readathon just started) and it is so amazing.
 6. History of Magic: A book published at least 10 years ago
So I’ve been rereading Harry Potter for the past couple months and I thought that it was only fitting to add a Harry Potter book into a Harry Potter inspired readathon. So, for this, I am reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I’m so not ready to relive some moments in here, but I guess I’ll live...
7. Muggle Studies: A contemporary
I chose In 27 Days by Alison Gervais for this one. Okay, so I don’t think a lot of people have heard of this one which is an absolute tragedy, because it’s amazing. It was originally written on Wattpad, but it was eventually published in a physical book. I read it like three times on Wattpad and I’ve read it once in a physical book, and every time it was amazing. This story follows Hadley, a high school student in New York, who goes to school one day to find out a classmate of hers, Archer, has committed suicide. Hadley was not close with him, but she felt off after it. She is then approached by Death who gives her the chance to go back in time 27 days to save Archer’s life. This story is so good and I’m excited to reread it.
Those are all the OWLs that I need to complete and that I am prioritizing. However, there is one more that I would love to get to this month if I have the time.
8. Transfiguration: A book with a red cover
For this I have Crazy Love by Francis Chan. This is a book I read back in the summer before my junior year of high school, and that I’ve really been wanting to reread for a couple months. This book is a Christian non-fiction book about the sacrificial, unconditional, reckless, crazy love of God for His people. This book hit me hard when I read it the first time and I really want to read it again as a more mature Believer to see the impact again.
I am so excited to be a part of this readathon. I think it is such a cool and unique concept. I’ve been super immersed in the Harry Potter world now that I’m rereading the books so this just fits my mood really well right now. I’m thinking that I will post reviews for at least some of the books, but probably not all. I will be posting updates on my Twitter if anyone wants to follow along with that! Anyway, that’s all for now! 
xoxo 
Amanda
