Unexpected Readathon Time / Books Out of the Blue discussion

It's time for another readathon! This one goes from

Sunday, March 17th → Saturday, March 23rd

We have TWO optional prompts this round:
🍀 for St. Patrick's Day, read a book with green on the cover
🍀 PICK YOUR PROMPT: depending on your part of the world, read either a book with spring vibes (happy, funny, hopeful) OR a book with fall vibes (spooky, ominous, fantastical)

Post your TBR and progress updates whenever you're ready, here or in the Discord server (or both). Happy reading!
