Now in October we have again two awesome Readathons, Latin-x-athon and Victober!
I won’t explain these two Readathons in detail, for that please look at the Twitter threads and announcement videos.
#Latin-x-athon 2021
It’s a readathon happening on Twitter from October 6-15.
I must say that ten days is a very short time for me to read the ambitious TBR I have set up for this, especially because I’m participating in other readathons too.
I’ll probably read these books during the whole month of October and still a couple might be only read in November.
The 2021 Prompts are:
Read a short work (poetry, short story, picture book, etc.):
For this I plan to read Love & Other Poisons by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I have this horror anthology for a long time in my radar.
Read something spooky (horror, features ghosts, etc.)
I am planning to read Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas for this prompt.
Read something cozy (favorite genre, read with a hot drink, etc.)
I’ll read Nocturna (A Forgery of Magic #1) by Maya Motayne with a warm fruit tea by my side.
Read something seasonal (cover, tone, vibe, etc.)
And I’ll again read a book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia because I’m really curious about reading a vampire novel written by her, so let’s see how Certain Dark Things turns out.
#Victober 2021
This Readathon was announced by Katie’s from Books and Things, Kate Howe and Lucy from lucythereader.
The Challenges I’m doing are:
Lucy’s Challenge: Read a Victorian novel with a female main character.
I’m planning to read The Doctor’s Wife by Mary Elizabeth Braddon.
Katie’s Challenge: Read a Victorian novel set in the countryside and/or the city.
I very rarely read memoirs but I’ll get out of my comfort zone and read The Life of Charlotte Brontë by Elizabeth Gaskell for this challenge.
Kate’s Challenge: Read a Victorian sensation novel.
I will combine this with the group challenge of reading a popular Victorian novel and read Lady Audley’s Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon.
And finally, the Victober 2021 Goodreads Group is also doing a readalong of Gothic Tales by Elizabeth Gaskell and I’ll participate in that too.
And you, have you read any of these books? Let me know in the comments.
