Hocus Pocus Readathon TBR! Team Trick or Treaters!

On By Star's Books & TeaIn ReadathonsLeave a comment

I’m participating in the Hocus Pocus Readathon for the second year in a row. Last year, I was Team Sanderson Sisters. This year, I’m Team Trick or Treaters. Next year, I may go Undead. We shall see! Either way, I want to share my TBR for this year! Especially since I can start tomorrow!

Info for readathon can be found here and here.

Team Trick or Treaters

  1. Halloween night is full of spooky and eerie vibes! Read a book with an atmospheric setting! (15 points) Hocus Pocus
  2. Max started this whole mess when he lit the black flame candle! Read the first book in a series! (15 points) Vampire Academy
  3. Trick-or-treating is all about the candy! Read a short and sweet book, less than 300 pages! (15 points) Marked
  4. Halloween is such a fun and colorful holiday! Read a book with Halloween colors on the cover (orange, black, purple, or green)! (15 points) Betrayed
  5. Max, Allison, and Dani have to stay up all night to defeat the witches! Read a book that is so scary that it would keep you up at night! (horror, mystery, thriller, etc.) (15 points) Scary Stories

Team Trick-or-Treaters

Strength: There are only so many hours of Halloween night! You can have a head start, and begin reading your Hocus Pocus Readathon TBR 4 days early (starting September 27th!)

Weakness: Team Trick-or-Treaters are young, so they must deal with parents and rules! You have to abide by the rules and read each book on your TBR in the order of the prompts. You can’t move on to the following prompt until you finish the last!

If you’re participating, I’d love to see your TBR! And what team you’re in!!!

April TBR Jar Readathon Reading Plans

On By Star's Books & TeaIn ReadathonsLeave a comment

I host a readathon in my group (The Introverted Readathoner) every month. Normally, I let a tbr pick my reading. This weekend, I’m a bit behind on some deadlines. So I’m just treating it like a normal readathon instead. I’m a bit intense with 24 hour and weekend readathons. Here’s my game plan:

I know it seems intense, but I constantly alter the schedule through the weekend to work for me. It works for me honestly. Especially when my goal is 20 pages an hour.

And now for my TBR for the weekend. I don’t plan to finish all of them, but I do plan on making progress in them at least!

If you’d like to join the group, just click here. You can also click the schedule graphic to get to the group as well.

Weekly Reading Plans: March 28th

On By Star's Books & TeaIn Weekly Reading And Blog PlansLeave a comment

One of the biggest goals I have this year is to finally tackle the huge list of books I’ve accumulated over the past year. Especially the books were given to me in exchange for review. I haven’t intended to go so long without reading them. I am just really bad with time management. Hopefully, this year will help me get better with that.

Note: I realize I plan to read a lot of books every week. I’m a mood reader and I account for that by adding extras so if I’m stuck I can move on to another book. I do not think that I will get all of these during the week. There are some that will be prioritized over others for obvious reasons.

Readathons I’m participating in this week:

Seasons of Reading Readathon- April 1st-30th (Spring into Horror)

Books I plan to read this week:

  1. A Royal Christmas Fairy Tale by Karen Schaler
  2. Gathering of the Four by A.E. Bennett
  3. Ascenders by C.L. Gaber

  5. Royal Decoy by Heather Frost

March TBR Jar Readathon

On By Star's Books & TeaIn Readathons, Special Blogs1 Comment

I’m so excited! I’ll be hosting our monthly readathon. I haven’t fully participated in this one in a while and I’m so excited to get back. I’d really like to see the group grow and more people join this. We don’t just do these readathons. We also post our reading progress and post about other readathons going on as well. If this is something that interests you, please consider joining by clicking here. If I get more members, I may consider making a discord server for those who don’t really care to get on Facebook. It has to be something wanted first though. Come give us a try! We start at midnight tonight your time and it’s over midnight Sunday (technically Monday) your time! If you join, please enjoy!!!!

About the TBR Jar readathon:

You put books in the jar (or hat or whatever you want). You pick from the jar. Whatever it is you pick is what you read. That’s your book until you either put it down or finish it. Then you pick again and repeat the process until the readathon is over. If you run out, you can add others! It’s a fun way to relax and read on a whim.

All are welcome! Please please please join!!!!
