I am quite excited – and probably a bit overly optimistic – about the Dumbledore’s Army Readathon, hosted by Aentee @ReadatMidnight.
What: #DAReadAThon is a Harry Potter themed readathon, focusing on diverse (especially #ownvoices) books.
When: The readathon will begin Sunday 1st January and conclude Sunday 15th January, midnight to midnight – wherever in the world you’re based.
Who: Anyone can join, although it would be easier for you to write-up your reviews and sign up posts if you had a platform such as a blog or a booktube. If you have a twitter or instagram account, please join in on the #DAReadAThon hashtag! You don’t have to be familiar with Harry Potter to join, but the prompts will make more sense to you.
and here is my TBR list for the prompts!
I haven’t read any fiction stories featuring a trans character yet, and George has been on my shelf for months waiting to be read!
A memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution, in graphic novel form!
At first, I was going to choose We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for this prompt. Then I realized that the books I already plan to read on our drive home from Florida after New Year’s Day would work for this one as well! Since they are relatively short, I am going to count Ms. Marvel, Volumes 2 – 5 for this category.
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian also happens to be my book club’s pick for January!
I’m hoping to read Fangirl over the next few days – although that may be wishful thinking – and planned on following it up with this one!
So many to choose from!
