Reindeer Readathon 2024 - Announcement & TBR

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today I'm sharing my TBR for the Reindeer Readathon which will run for the entire month of December.  It is hosted by Erik @ Breakeven Books with some help from NoelleChristine & MoKristinHannahVanessa and Steffany.  I'm on Team Mistletoe this year which is hosted by Erik.  I've been participating in this readathon since 2021, and I'd say I've got a great tbr put together for this round.  Without further ado, let's get to my tbr: 

DASHER - 10 PTS - Read a book that is recommended to you on social media or is a list recommendation (YouTube, Goodreads, Google, etc.).

My choice: Thief of the Heights by Son M. - I've read a lot of recommendations for this YA fantasy graphic novel and I can't wait to try it.

DANCER - 15 PTS - Read a book genre that you feel matches your favorite music genre (i.e. Pop-Fantasy, Rock/ Metal-Thriller/ Horror, R&B-Romance, etc.) + Christmas Carols (20 PTS)

My choice: Blackout (Newsflesh #3) by Mira Grant - I like a lot of different kinds of music, but for this I picked rock for horror.  I've enjoyed the first two books in the series and I can't wait to try this on audiobook since the production was so good for book two.

PRANCER - 10 PTS - Read a book where the synopsis mentions a named special event/ date.

My choice: A Scandal in Battersea (Elemental Masters #22) by Mercedes Lackey - This is a Christmas book so I picked the perfect time to try this.

VIXEN - 15 PTS - Read a book you didn't buy (Kindle Unlimited, Library, Borrowed, Gift, etc.) + Christmas Lights (15 PTS)

My choice: Elle(s), Vol. 1: The New Girl by Kid Toussaint - I saw this YA graphic novel available on Libby through my library and decided to take a chance on it.

COMET - 15 PTS - Read a book that ends on the last digit of the day of your birth (i.e. 28th would have to end  in 8) + Christmas Star (25 PTS)

My choice: Witches Steeped in Gold (Witches Steeped in Gold #1) by Ciannon Smart - This book has 544 pages to work with my birthday on the 24th.  By the way, this is also part of my StoryGraph Res the World Challenge.

CUPID - 15 PTS - Read a book from an author that you have already given 5 stars.

My choice: The Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier - Rebecca is one of my favorites and I recently picked up this lesser known gothic mystery from her and can't wait to try it.

DONNER - 20 PTS - Read a book where the cover contains one of the first 4 words you see in the word search grid on page 4.  Must be a word from the list + Christmas Elf (15 PTS).

My choice: Silver in the Bone (Silver in the Bone #1) by Alexandra Bracken - Silver one of the first four I spotted in the word search and this is also one of my Beat the Backlist reads.

BLITZEN - 15 PTS - Choose 3 books that start with the same letter.  Randomly choose one of them to read (Random number generator, have someone choose, etc.).

My choice: Every Bone a Prayer by Ashley Blooms - This was the book that won out of my random choice of three.  I've never read this author before but when I spotted this at a thrift shop it sounds like it could be an intriguing work of magical realism.  This is also part of my Spell It Out Reading Challenge.

RUDOLPH - 15 PTS - Read a debut novel + Christmas Tree (20 PTS).

My choice: Immortal Dark (Immortal Dark Trilogy #1) by Tigest Girma - The Cruel Prince meets Ninth House as a dark academia fantasy romance - sounds like this will be awesome.  I was hoping to read this back in October, but didn't get there so better late than never.

SLEIGHING IT - 50 PTS 

My choice: The Loop by Nicholas Evans - For this I'm redoing the Vixen prompt.  One of my friends gave me this and it sounds like it could be intriguing.
