I loved Witch! Here in Brazil we never got a proper edition, but we had a magazine that used to publish them 😁 I remember that my girl group used to pretend we actually were each one of them 😂
WITCH was also one of my childhood favourites 😭😭 i think i still have all the comic books, short stories and magazines (somewhere at my parents’ place haha i really need to dig them out)
Honestly never thought I’d see the day where you held up Raybearer on this channel 😭👏🏻🤩 I hope you do get to it! It has a lovely audiobook! Also a nice departure from the usual European myths and folklore as it is African inspired
I read Cemetery Boys for the Spring Equinox and it was the best book I read that month. It was a pretty fast read. What I really loved about it was that I related to the culture (Latina here) and since I’m from LA I could envision where Yadriel was going around in East LA. I loved all of the characters. I didn’t expect to cry while reading this book but I did.
I adore the "I Hear the Sunspot" manga series! I've been waiting over 2 years for the latest volume but my library system still doesn't have it. 😥 I believe this is the reading/publication order: 1. I Hear the Sunspot 2. I Hear the Sunspot: Theory of Happiness 3. I Hear the Sunspot: Limit Volume 1 4. I Hear the Sunspot: Limit Volume 2 5. I Hear the Sunspot: Limit Volume 3
OMG, I loved WITCH and Irma is still my favorite :D I think I even still have some of my old magazines. I am so excited for this readathon, thank you so much for creating it
Aw I’m so happy I picked Witch too as the reread a book prompt! Mine though is the omnibus number 3 (I’m in Italy and here they’re reprinting them in blocks of five 🥹). I still love it to pieces, it gives me the coziest nostalgia ever!
Cemetery Boys was incredible, such beautifully done trans rep. If the writing style bothers you, listen to it on audio. That's how I read it. Loved the narrator.
My husband is currently reading Upgrade and is loving it… so I guess I’m stealing that book for my own TBR! :) So much looking forward to going back to Orilium!!
Cemetery Boys is worth the praise it gets in my opinion! It's very fun and is still one I think about often even two years after reading it. I hope you like it!
I loved those w.i.t.c.h. comics too❤ Hope you'll love The Hollow Places too I love Kingfisher books. And yes I Hear the Sunspot are all so good! The titles are a bit confusing indeed.
I can't wait! I might steal Raybearer off of your tbr. I've had it for a year and not gotten to it! I have the same career as you, so that was handy. Just ordered a couple of books yesterday, and I would really like to recommend Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi as a graphic novel. It will be a reread for me, and I'm so exited for it!
The Hollow Places is SO good. It was the first book that kind of creeped me out. There’s much more necromancyish stuff in the second half. I listened to it on audiobook and it was pretty good.
I'm up for rereading W.I.T.C.H. Here in Bulgaria we had the tv series but I didn't like it very much. I loved Cornelia and Caleb and I'm excited to visit the world again. ☺ I may try The Maidens, it's sounds good to me, and I need a book on someone's worst list.😄
oh yayy i hope you enjoy delilah green if you get to it this month! i read that just last week and really loved it. i’ve added upgrade to one of my quests if i finish my main tbr, it’ll be my first blake crouch so i’m excited 👀
The Hollow Places seems to be a you'll love it or you'll hate it based on the Goodreads reviews, but I really loved it. One of the most original books I've ever read - it definitely matched what my nightmares are like so it really gave me the creepy unsettling vibes.
hahaha ok so 1. The dots connected before I watched the video so it wasnt a surprise (took a full hour though 🐌) 2. The Maidens is for the worst list prompt hahah 3. I hope we both like the book :D
@@BookRoast The dots appeared 😂 Ive heard all the critique for the maidens, so Im prepared enough that I think I might like it! Im also good at ignoring a lot of stuff if Im enjoying myself haha
Are the quests up yet I’m interested on doing some quests. I can’t wait for this readathon it is my favourite Awesome Tbr I hope you are able to complete it happy reading 📖
I'm planning my tbr right now as well! I finally decided to pursue goodseer, but still giving my character some affinity for healing. It has been so difficult and I will miss alchemy but I might take an extra class in alchemy to make up for it, and it will also fit lore wise if my character has some basic medic knowledge. I'm also planning to do quest! So motivated right now!

I'm still undecided on a lot of books for my TBR. It doesn't help that there are books I really want to read but that don't fit the prompts or are over 600 pages which isn't ideal 🥲😅 But I am really excited and would love to pass all my classes this time 🤭
I loved Witch! Here in Brazil we never got a proper edition, but we had a magazine that used to publish them 😁 I remember that my girl group used to pretend we actually were each one of them 😂

Just reread W.i.t.c.h myself and for me it definitely held up! I was a massive Elyon fan and I still love her 😅
That’s promising!! 🥰
Same!
Can't wait to go back to Orilium ❤️
Cemetery Boys is on my TBR too. The Color Wheel gave me maroon.
omg i was also thinking of reading Rebecca for the ‘Courier Needed’ quest!!
I adore the "I Hear the Sunspot" manga series! I've been waiting over 2 years for the latest volume but my library system still doesn't have it. 😥 I believe this is the reading/publication order:
1. I Hear the Sunspot

5. I Hear the Sunspot: Limit Volume 3
I'm attempting to read a book for all 42 prompts!! You should definitely read Rebecca.
Another vote to read Rebecca! Whooo wooo
Ooooh best of luck!!
Me too!!
@@foxadeello Wow, you guys!!!
WITCH was on in the UK! I owned the novels of it when I was a child. I wish I still had them!
Yay Raybearer! I really hope you enjoy it!
Oh my gosh, you look so beautiful! Giving me 70s, ethereal vibes.
Yes I was hoping you would have Upgrade so I could steal it for my TBR! Thanks G!!
OMG, I loved WITCH and Irma is still my favorite :D I think I even still have some of my old magazines.
I am so excited for this readathon, thank you so much for creating it

Cemetery Boys was incredible, such beautifully done trans rep. If the writing style bothers you, listen to it on audio. That's how I read it. Loved the narrator.
I love Witch! I loved the show and book when I was younger. I need to rewacth/reread them but I'm worried they won't hold up.
OMG! I used to love W.i.t.c.h!!!! Now I want to reread them!!!!
Not me refreshing your channel the whole week waiting for this video 👀
Hehe hope you liked it! 🥰
"I need a bit more fantasy... let me pick a sci fi short story collection!"
Wonderful! Your TBR sounds fun :)
Sci fi is a type of fantasy in my books 😂😂😂
Ooh, so many fun romances! Curious to see what you think of it. Rebecca is quite a fast read once you’ve gotten into it.
I know! An odd development ahah
Witch sounds cute. I hope you enjoy all your reads in August.
Thank you! WITCH was so magical I hope it still holds up!
Can’t wait for the Readathon!! Good luck with your TBR 🤩
My husband is currently reading Upgrade and is loving it… so I guess I’m stealing that book for my own TBR! :)
So much looking forward to going back to Orilium!!
Rebecca is superb! It's also got two adaptations at least.
I loved WITCH as a kid, read all the comics and watched the show, so amazing
I loved Witch when I was little! I still got almost all my comics but I need to buy the bundle edition 😍
So many good books on this TBR!
I loved Cemetery Boys.
Male sure you have tissues to hand. I didn't and I just wasn't prepared. I bawled my eyes out
Oh no I had no idea I’ll be sad 👀
@@BookRoast Don't worry they are good tears.
The cover of The Hollow Places reminds me of A Book in a Jar.
the Fairyloot edition of Undertaking of Hart and Mercy has a pink cover and looks great
I’m 150 pages in and really having a fun time with it
That’s true! It almost made it on the list!
Wahoo! TBR pile! Hopefully you smash it next month.
Cemetery Boys is worth the praise it gets in my opinion! It's very fun and is still one I think about often even two years after reading it. I hope you like it!
I loved those w.i.t.c.h. comics too❤
Hope you'll love The Hollow Places too I love Kingfisher books. And yes I Hear the Sunspot are all so good! The titles are a bit confusing indeed.
I recently read The Hollow Places and LOVED it! I found the story addicting and I felt like I HAD to find out what was going to happen next.
I can't wait! I might steal Raybearer off of your tbr. I've had it for a year and not gotten to it! I have the same career as you, so that was handy. Just ordered a couple of books yesterday, and I would really like to recommend Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi as a graphic novel. It will be a reread for me, and I'm so exited for it!
Yessss steal it steal it! 🥰
This looks like such a good tbr. The prompts for your classes are great. I am aiming to be a Scribe still need to sort out my tbr though 🙈🙈
oooh I think I'll pick I Hear The Sunspot from your TBR, thanks G!
Go for it!
Good luck with your reading!
The Hollow Places is SO good. It was the first book that kind of creeped me out. There’s much more necromancyish stuff in the second half. I listened to it on audiobook and it was pretty good.
I wish the audiobook was available in the uk 😭
@@BookRoast I hate that! I don’t understand how we all can have the same app and not the same content.
I'm up for rereading W.I.T.C.H. Here in Bulgaria we had the tv series but I didn't like it very much. I loved Cornelia and Caleb and I'm excited to visit the world again. ☺
I may try The Maidens, it's sounds good to me, and I need a book on someone's worst list.😄
oh yayy i hope you enjoy delilah green if you get to it this month! i read that just last week and really loved it. i’ve added upgrade to one of my quests if i finish my main tbr, it’ll be my first blake crouch so i’m excited 👀
Delilah Green sounds like so much fun!!!
My tbr is:
The Jade War (from my friend's tbr)
Gideon the Ninth
Notes on an execution (this one might be swapped out)
Good luck!
I loved WITCH... the whole tv show is on youtube last time I checked
Can't wait for August to start! I love this readathon so much 😀
I think I read The Hollow Places after you first talked about it, and I really enjoyed it 😁(does that bode well for you? who knows!)
G is very complex,lol. Most of the time we have similar taste, but two or three of my favorite books she actually hates!
Time shall tell 😂
I loved the hollow places too Sam. It can be hard to get into at first, but it might have been G's headspace at the time.
Forgot about the quests!! 🙈 Can't wait!! 💛💛
😂 happens!
Looking forward to August & getting back to Orilium! 🤗
I was also a massive WITCH fan back in the day!! Where did you get the tome by the way? I can only find single issues online!!
Super excited for this! This is going to be so much fun!
Good luck! Rebecca is super slow and atmospheric so it probably will take you a while
I have a feeling 😅 would be a miracle if I get to it let alone through it lol
I’m so excited for the autumn equinox!
The Hollow Places seems to be a you'll love it or you'll hate it based on the Goodreads reviews, but I really loved it. One of the most original books I've ever read - it definitely matched what my nightmares are like so it really gave me the creepy unsettling vibes.
I did enjoy it when I did read half of it hahha
hahaha ok so
1. The dots connected before I watched the video so it wasnt a surprise (took a full hour though 🐌)
2. The Maidens is for the worst list prompt hahah
3. I hope we both like the book :D
The dots elongated haha oooh the Maidens make sense now!!

I’m interested on doing some quests.
I can’t wait for this readathon it is my favourite
Awesome Tbr I hope you are able to complete it happy reading 📖
They are! They are in the G drive where all the files are and also linked directly under the announcement video 🥰

I didn't manage to get Upgrade onto my tbr bit I'm hoping to fit it in!
My tbr:
A book with necromancy themes: Gideon the Ninth (audiobook)
A book with bones on the cover/ title: The Bone Ships
A book from someone else’s tbr: The Two Towers (BeccaAndTheBooks’ April/may tbr)
A book with a single object on the cover: Station Eleven (a deer on the UK edition)
Annotate this book: Convenience Store Woman
Colour wheel spin, red: The Hunger of the Gods (not entirely red but I think it counts)
