COVID-19 Read-A-Thon discussion

Hi everyone! Some of you may already know that this year's O.W.L.s read-a-thon is taking place in 5-6 days. It's starting on April 4th and 5th.

This is the link to the official video by Book Roast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRuZ4...

Take a look and tell us if you'd like to participate. From what I've gathered it's not mandatory to read Harry Potter books, but it would sure be enjoyable for a lot of people to re-read their favorites or even read the series for the first time :)

Thank you for this! I am in the fourth book (first time ever in the series). Checking it out.

This looks so FUN. I wish that we could paste those prompts onto this thread, to stay in it together.

It starts april 1st im so excited!

Not sure if you guys are participating in this but I chose the career "Curse Breaker" That requires 6 classes which equates to 6 books in the month of April. I will share my TBR, i will list the class, the prompt and then the book

Ancient Runes, A heart on the cover or in the title:

Arithmancy, Something outside you favorite genre:

Charms, white cover:

Defense against the dark arts, set at the sea:

Potions, under 150 page:

Transfiguration, a book with shape shifting:

This is very ambitious idk if i can do it but I am definitely going to try!

Oh, good, then I can figure out how to participate, thank you!

Let me know what you pick!

I ended up choosing the Librarian career. O.W.Ls are:

Ancient runes (heart on the cover or in the title)

Arithmancy (read something outside your favorite genre) I am not a fan of self help books, but I'm going to give a try.

Defense Against the Dark Arts (a book set at sea or on the coast)

History of Magic (about or involving witches)

Transfiguration (involves shapeshifters)

Good luck let me know what you think

I have two questions on these books, can I ask that on here? Could not think of a better place!

What's your question?

Messaged you, thanks so much!

Finished Equal Rites for History of Magic last night. How are you coming along Kat??

I'm just seeing these comments, oops!
I finished my third book which falls under Astronomy. The two others fall under Defense against the dark arts and History of magic. I have one more to go (divination) to be an Aurologist! DATDA isn't part of the mandatory exams, but oh well, I liked the prompt

Which career did you choose?

Cursebreaker but I am doing 2 of the seminars so i have to read 2 extra books which equals 8 in total. I'll definitely get the 6

So glad you ladies are still discussing this: cannot remember what is an Auror (Professor Moody). Love him, I am in Book 4. Thanks! XO

A few days left! How is everyone doing on your goals for the readathon?

Not so good

I'm in

Can I be in this please

I would love to participate

I’m going to read more of Xenocide until 12:29 am then sleep🛏💤
