I feel you on freaking out about all the readathons, buddy reads and book clubs
No way in Hades 🔥🔥😂😂
hahaha loved the ending <3 im looking forward to piranesi!
Team Artemis is where it’s at but as long as Zeus doesn’t win, that’s really all that matters 😂
I absolutely love that you chose Pride and Prejudice for that prompt! That review cracks me up. I am SO TEMPTED to pick it up again. I've heard Cemetery Boys is so good, and I love that cover. Priory is sooooooo good! Great TBR! I love that all the teams just want to beat Team Zeus. 😂
Can't wait to hear your thought on dreams of the dying
This outro is epic!!! 😂
“There is no way in Hades I will read all of these books” — extra points to your team for excellent phrasing
HI! I have added your video to the Olympics Readathon playlist. You can find it here. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGR-_TmgTLwkYr2oi78eFnhCbRg366MVH
I've got The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by NK Jemisin, and I'm reading a Sarah J Maas book this month too, but not the same one as you. I'm so excited that it's almost time to start!! I'm reading Priory as my second book so I can try to make sure I finish it 🙂
That closing remark just killed me 😂 so many great options!!
One Star Reviews would make an amazing Jeopardy category 😂😂 I hope you enjoy your reads for the month…even though you’re going down! 😉⚡️
Team Hades for the win!!! "No way in Hades" is iconic! 😂 I'm also panning on reading Fireborne for the readathon!
Only Evie….ONLY EVIE…..you are THE EVIE QUEEN of GIFS and a total rockstar. Only Evie indeed lol. Best of luck during the readathon!
Evie evie evie 💜💜
Haha acotar
Excited to buddy read piranesi with you
Oh I’m also reading fireborne sooooo
Planning my TBR went the same way – "yeah, I can read all of this" and then quickly being like "oh yeah. when have I ever read that many pages in a month." I really enjoyed Fireborne so I hope you do as well!
Pride and Prejudice is such a great shout for that prompt! I've been meaning to continue with Austen but didn't think of it and Sorrowlands is my back up for Kafka on the Shore so definitely looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
So many buddy reads! Good luck in your reading this June, sounds packed but fun
I felt I was drowning in buddy reads and redathons. I know the feeling. I’m going to start the Lyndon Chronicles in June as well.
AHHAHA! I love your closing lines!
Ooh I think I’m gonna try Fireborne for the readathon aswell, and I look forward to starting books of Babel
TBRs can stress me out sometimes too. ACOTAR LOLOL. Super pumped to have more people read THK
I cannot wait for your thoughts on Piranesi!!! I had to dnf…just because a lot was going over my head and I wasn't in the right mental space to pay attention to what was happening. Might pick it up in June!
I just finished a reread of the Dragonlance Chronicles. I love them. It's such bubblegum fantasy, but it's great and underrated and nostalgic.
I really can't wait to see what you think of ACOTAR lol I actually picked it up a while ago and still haven't gotten to it!
You, like myself, are the master of the totally serious, deadpan bull shark. I leaned in to see what book was me and Klaus's favorite only to be disappointed lol!
Also, I'm so happy someone is reading Death Gate with me!
You're so awesome, even if you aren't on the winning team. I love hearing all these ambitious picks! If I can sneak in Dragonlance and snag a copy, I'll be sure to do so!
