Tome Topple Readathon Round 10


So this reading challenge has the sole purpose of getting us to read big books, over 500 pages.
I have participated before and I am wanting to do so again but oh the time they fall into, not sure how much reading I will be able to do.
There is for the first time prompts for this set in a Bingo Board, but I do not think I will follow that XD
I'll just try to read big books in general.

 Duration: Feb 7 to 20

 The books I want to get to:
The kingdom of Copper, SA Chakraborty the next part of the Daevabad Trilogy,  a fantasy series featuring djinns. It has 625 pages so it does cover the minimum.
Stiletto, Daniel O'Malley the continuation of the rook, this one is a bit shorter it has 583 pages.
Evolver your brain, Joe Dispenza. This is a nonfiction book based on science that is a bit out of my normal reading in order to help me try to get to read more varied.

  We'll see if more time is available and try to add any additional books, not likely XD

Bird Box

Author: Josh Malerman Genre: Mystery/Thriller, Horror Original publication date: March 2014 Book description:  Something is out there, something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse of it, and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remains, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now that the boy and girl are four, it's time to go, but the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children's trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. Something is following them all the while, but is it man, animal, or monster? Thoughts: So this is a reread. The first time I read it was last year mainly because of booktube recommendations and the movie was released in N

Mid Month Wrap up (Hous Pocus + #AYearAThon)

For the beginning of the month, I participated in two Readathons. So I will do a wrap up of those two first ones that ended on the 13th. The first one was HOCUS POCUS READATHON. The goal was to cast a Spell to become immortal. Goal accomplished! It consisted of 7 challenges out of them, 6 were reading related. Read a total of 6 books. In those the total pages read were 2,263 In average it represented 377.67 pages per book  Not bad for the first two weeks of the month but yeah most of the book were on the shorter side. The second readathon accomplished was #AYearAThon in which we had to read a thriller. In a very good coincidence, these two overlapped allowing me to use a book from the previous challenges to cover this one as well. For this readathon only one book was finished, Misery and this one contained 370 pages.

Author: Jeanette Winterson  Genre: Sci-Fi, LGBT, Original publication date: May 2019 Book Description (from Goodreads):  In Brexit Britain, a young transgender doctor called Ry is falling in love – against their better judgement – with Victor Stein, a celebrated professor leading the public debate around AI.

Across the Atlantic, in Phoenix, Arizona, a cryogenics facility houses dozens of bodies of men and women who are medically and legally dead… but waiting to return to life.
