Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I'm sharing my TBR for the brand new Merlin Readathon. It will run from August 1st-15th and is hosted by Kat, Emily, Ro, Tazmyn, and Kay. You can check out the official Twitter account here and watch the video with more info, rules, and prompts here. Merlin is one of my favorite shows and it's a really cool Arthurian retelling as well, so I'm really excited for this readathon. In this readathon, the goal is to work your way through levels of wizardry from Apprentice to Mage by reading your way through the ranks. You will create your own path, so you'll start with one of the prompts on the lowest tier and work your way up through the levels by following the pointing swords (that will give you a couple of options on the prompts as you work your way up. Now without further ado, let's get to my potential TBR:
1. There's a goblin in the castle! Protect yourself against their foul stench, read a book with green on the cover.
2. Merlin has been poisoned, help Arthur on a quest to find a healing flower, read a book with a map.
3. You've been suspected of using magic and must escape your execution. Knock out the guards, read a book that packs an emotional punch.
4. You have found the sword in the stone! To claim it in and finish your quest, read a five star prediction.
My choice: Monstrous Regiment (Discworld #31) by Terry Pratchett - I love this series so much and I can't wait to read this installment.
I hope you enjoy Monsterous Regiment! It's one of my favourite Discworlds. I'm planning to do the Merlin readathon too, but I'm not organised with a TBR yet.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the readathon!
DeleteI've been putting Monstrous Regiment off for way too long... :)
This sounds like fun! Good luck with your TBR😁
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tammy!
DeleteThis looks like fun! I've never seen the show but I know a lot of people like it. I bet this'll be a blast. Nice picks too, i like the look of Thieves'.
ReplyDeleteThe show is so much fun and it's definitely one of the best Arthurian retellings out there. :)
DeleteMonstrous Regiment is supposedly one of the top 10 of Pratchett's works, I've been eyeing it for a while too. Let's see if we can read it around the same time! And Thieves' Quarry looks awesome, because I just about lurve historial fantasy.
ReplyDeleteI've read quite a bit of his stuff so that's a tall order - and I can't wait to see how it stacks up for me. :)
DeleteI look forward to your thoughts on Internment!
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly looking forward to picking it up.
