#TheReadingQuest Sign-up Post w/TBR



So, I found out late in the game, (in bed when I should have been sleeping before work and not on twitter) about a fun reading challenge called The Reading Quest.  In this challenge you can choose a character, and much like an RPG game, you follow that character's path, reading books as its quest earning points along the way.  I know I am explaining this poorly, but DO check out the site to see the rules and how the quest runs.


I have chosen the path as Mage:

1 word titled book -  Nyxia (ARC) by Scott Reintgen
Magic book - The School of Good and Evil by Soman Chainani
Book based off Mythology -  The Lightning Thief by Rick Roirdan
1st in a series - Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
In a different world - Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll  


After this I will try to move to another character or try the mini quests. I’ll edit this post if I get that far.

Em's Read-O-Rama Round 6 TBR


This will be the first Read-a-thon I have done, so my goal is to get as many books read more than check off all the challenges. That said, I have picked some books that DO cover some, if not most, of the challenges. 

I am trying to read 7 books (or more) 

The Union by S. Usher Evens

While this doesn't cross off anything on my challenges, it does finish out the series I have been wanting to do since I started reading The Island as a ARC. 

The Owl Keeper by Christine Brodien -Jones

This also checks off the animal AND the going in blind boxes (although I have a few that covers the going in blind) 

Song Quest by Katherine Roberts

This checks off the blind read AND the main character with the same initial, AND first in a series. 

 Fairest by Gail Carson Levine

Nothing special but I do enjoy this author's work for a fun quick read

Starflight by Melissa Landers 













This checks off the first in a series, R.A.M.A. in the author's name, AND my own challenge - finish a bloody ARC that has been collecting dust. This is not Pokemon. The goal in not to catch them all and then keep them in balls and never do anything with them.

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman













Something I have been wanting to read. And now I can!

White Sand by Brandon Sanderson













New author to me. (not a challenge) Start of a series.  Umm buddy read with Mel??? Any way you look at it, it's on the list.
