Whelp, I passed my OWLs back in April and sweet, sweet Gintare over at Book Roast is now hosting the N.E.W.T.s August 1 – 31. The schedule looks super intense but I will try my best. There are 13 classes, each with three levels: accepted (A), exceeded expectations (E), and outstanding (O). The general readathon goal is to pass two classes of which one needs to be an outstanding pass.
The prompts for each class level are really fun and I am making my way through my TBR to match books to them. So far, I have book ideas for History of Magic and Potions, which makes it a total of 6 books if I am gunning for outstanding as a pass for both. I feel that could be a reasonable personal goal. I have a few other book ideas but haven’t filled an entire class prompt with them yet. So stay tuned as this readathon TBR will most likely change.
History of Magic
The Tales of Beetle the Bard a book that you think fits in at Hogwarts’ library
Supernatural Tales a book published at least 5 years ago
The Stand a book at least 400 pages long
Potions
The Gray House a book with a color in the title
Let the Right One In a book with a male character lead
Atonement a book over 350 pages long
What books are you adding to these prompts? What personal goals do you have? Leave me a comment. 🙂
I have never heard of this book readathon but I am going to try and participate in it because it looks like a bunch of fun. Lovely post! Have a great day 🙂

WOW! Did not know this existed! I may have to do this, although I’m not very good at read-a-thons where you have to read specific books…. although… Harry Potter 😀

I find these readathons easiest because the prompts really let you pick your own books. It’s not like in a book club where everyone reads the same. Why don’t you see what books you’re planning on reading anyway and see if they fit any prompts?
