Hi, bookworms! This has been a… rough few weeks. As someone who struggles with an anxiety disorder, I’ve been having a difficult time trying to find things to keep my mind occupied while also not being able to focus on anything. I’ve seen this read-a-thon around before but never wanted to participate. Now it feels like just the thing I need to get excited about!
For those that don’t know much about this challenge, you can find all the information on the website here. I love that you can choose what magical career you want to have! Once you choose your career, you’ll see which O.W.L.s you have to pass. Then you can find the reading prompts related to those O.W.L.s.
For the challenge I chose Librarian, which is apparently very dangerous and mysterious. I’ll also be attending Animagus Training, which comes with its own set of O.W.L.s. Here is my work load and (very tentative) TBR:
LIBRARIAN O.W.L.S

Ancient Runes (Heart on the cover or in the title)
Heartless
Heartstream

Arithmancy (Read something outside your favorite genre)
The Fountains of Silence

Defense Against the Dark Arts (Book set at the sea/coast)

Howls’ Moving Castle

Wicked Fox
A Court of Wings and Ruin

ANIMAGUS TRAINING
