#Discussion: What's Coming Up On My To Be Read Pile?

Jamie @ Books and Ladders 30 September 0 Comments

What's Coming Up On My To Be Read Piles?

I am notoriously bad at sticking to TBRs but I have some books that I would really like to get through before the end of this year so that I can stay ahead of my reading and read through books I really want to read!

If you have read my 2020 Reading Goals post, you know that I want to read smarter, not more, so I am taking my time and reading books that I actually am excited about, not the newest fads or only ARCs.

So here are some of the books that I want to read over the rest of the year and I hope I inspire you to read them too!

Clicking on the cover will take you to the Goodreads page for that book.

What books are you going to read soon?

Three Months Worth of Books!

I am notoriously bad at sticking to TBRs but I have some books that I would really like to get through this winter so that I can stay ahead of my reading and read through books I really want to read!

If you have read my 2020 Reading Goals post, you know that I want to read smarter, not more, so I am taking my time and reading books that I actually am excited about, not the newest fads or only ARCs.

So here are some of the books that I want to read over these next three months (February to April) and I hope I inspire you to read them too!

Clicking on the cover will take you to the Goodreads page for that book.

#Pondathon Sign-Up + TBR!

Jamie @ Books and Ladders 23 January 1 Comments

Pondathon: The Quiet Pond's story-driven readathon. Image: Two swords with vines wrapped around it frame the words 'Pondathon', with three little forest sprites sitting on top. One forest sprite has a leaf on its head, the middle has twigs for horns, and the right has a mushroom on its head.

What is the Pondathon?

The Pondathon is a co-operative and story-driven readathon hosted and run by CW from The Quiet Pond. The aim of the Pondathon is to read books and collect points to protect the friends over at The Quiet Pond from the encroaching malevolent forces that threaten our friends in the forest. Have fun participating in the Pondathon readathon by joining one of five teams, each with a unique way to collect points and signing up! You can also follow the story of the Pondathon as it unfolds, and participants can also complete 'side quests' during the readathon to collect extra points. The readathon takes place from January 24th 2020 to March 7th 2020. More information about the readathon can be found here.

My Pond Character

My Pond Character is named Pepper and she is an angelic floof that helps turn pages and stay focused on the task at hand (usually petting her). She is a team member of Team Xiaolong and is helping Xiaolong with the frontlines and the darkness that is threatening the pond. Because Pepper is a black cat, she can blend into that darkness and bring her angelic light abound to push back those dark forces and turn some of them to the light! She is ready to protect.

2020 Releases I Can't Wait to Read!

I am always trying to stay on top of upcoming and new releases (whether or not I read them at that point is a completely other story - don't judge me). So here are some books releasing this year that I am SUPER excited about! Some are debuts, others are new series, and some are standalones!

Clicking on the cover will take you to the Goodreads page for that book.
