Make Me Read It Readathon!

Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm having a bit of a crisis: I don't know what to read. I've seen some recent posts for the Make Me Read It Marathon, and I decided to join in! The readathon is hosted by Val @ The Innocent Smiley and Ely @ Tea & Titles. The readathon is from July 9th to 16th.


Here is some info about the readathon:
Look at the books you own, either physical, e-book or ones you've borrowed from the library and pick out a few you really want to read, or feel like you should read. It’s up to you how many you pick, personally I'd pick a few more than you expect to be able to read in a week. Example: if you think you’ll only read two, pick out five books or if you think you can read seven, pick out ten.
Make a list of these books on your blog, or make a video, or a Goodreads shelf or post a picture on Instagram—whatever is easiest for you. Then get friends, other bloggers/booktubers etc. to vote on which books you HAVE to read.
When the readathon comes along, you read the books in the order of most votes. For example, if one book gets 10 votes—you read that first, then the one that got 7 and so on. If there's a tie, then it's your preference. The goal is to read as many as possible. 


I picked ten book for you to vote on! I want to read around 6 books, so here are my picks. Six is an optimistic number, but who knows what will happen!

I am SO excited for this readathon. I'm a mood reader, so I don't know if I'll be that successful, but I hope I will be! Thanks for voting! If you are participating in the readathon, let me know in the comments! I'd love to check out your post. :D 

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post! 

Happy Reading!

    YES to Sabriel! I think it is slightly underrated because of how old it is, but I absolutely loved it when I first read it!

    Thank you so much for joining! Can't wait to see which books will be picked!

      I think Sabriel is such a classic fantasy YA series. I thought it was about time I read it. :D

      You're welcome!! I am really looking forward to it. :D

      Thanks Lauren! I was actually thinking of doing just a normal poll until I saw the readathon and I thought, why not? I'm really hoping it's in the top 6!

    I haven't read A Darker Shade of Magic, but I read The Archived and loved it! I just recommend V.E. Schwab as an author... :)

    ADSOM is really good so I'm glad its getting a lot of votes. My vote went to November 9 because I really enjoyed it when I read it last year. But the Red Queen was in my list as well--so you have some great choices!

    Good luck!

    I voted for November 9. I read this book a while back and I really enjoy Colleen Hoover's writing style and find that all her books are just so fast paced.

    Thanks for voting on mine :), good luck with the readathon!

    Beautiful Disaster is on my list too! I voted for November 9, which I read last year and really liked. I think Ugly Love is my all-time favourite CoHo book, but November 9 is still a very solid read.
