Fantasy Readathon: #becausedragonsRAT discussion

Round 2 of #becausedragonsRAT has been announced for June 13th through the 19th.

The reading challenges are as follows:
1. A fantasy book with white on the cover (can be any amount)
2. A fantasy book with an LBGT+ MC
3. Listen to a fantasy audiobook
4. A fantasy book with fire on the cover or in the title
5. A fantasy book that features mythological creatures

You can do all of them, some of them, or none of them. The only hard rule is to read fantasy books!

And of course, you can find more information on my master post: bit.ly/2paNVg8

What are you planning to read?

Does anybody have any good recs for task 2?

I'll be reading Of Fire & Stars.

But the Six of Crows duology is good (m/m relationship), Every Heart a Doorway is good & short (asexual MC), & I'd also recommend Carry On mostly for the m/m relationship.

hey! I picked three books for this round: I still want to re-read His Majesty's Dragon and for the audiobook I chose Daughter of Smoke and Bone. It was kind of difficult to find a book for task number 2 because I don't own that much fantasy and therefore I have no books with a LGBTQ+ main character which is a shame. But I decided to go with Falling Kingdoms, because I believe that there are gay side characters. Maybe I'll switch to The Bone Season which I've read before and I know there is a gay character in it who has a main role.
Those three books complete all the challenges.
I am very excited for this round and I have some days off, so I can dedicate my time to a lot of reading! :)

Oooh! I added His Majesty's Dragon to my TBR as well. I've never read it so I'm really excited to get to it :)

In the end I decided to use books I had mostly and make my tbr with some of the challenges and have an option for mood. So it will be:

1. Harry Potter 2,3 and 4 and also A Boy and His Horse (Narnia)

or:

2. Ice like Fire, Harry Potter 2 and A Boy and His Horse.

My mood is leaning heavily against Harry Potter now so I will probably do the first option :)
