March TBR- Readthons, Challenges, Buddy reads, and trying a new way of reading!


Hi! The month starts tomorrow and so I wanted to post my tbr today as well. I'll be doing Trope-ical Reathathon, A challenge for TBR & Beyond Facebook Group, and the Hamilton Event for RR! I am in the middle of four of these, so those will be discussed below. I'm also trying a new way of reading where I will listen to music to enhance the book experience. I'll go over that as well. Here's the Twitter for trope-ical
 







Common Challenges 

I don't go for Bingo or anything when I do these. 

Absent/ Dead Parent- A Little Princess 

Smalltown- Bear Town

Multiple Points of View- Crown of Midnight

If I have time, I may add With The Fire on High for Coming of Age 

Team Challenges 
Each team has unique challenges to do for this. I'm going to do Team Contemporary/ Literary Fiction/ Historical Fiction 

Team Book: Fat Chance, Charlie Vega

Bookish Themes: By the Book 

Historical Figure: Fun Home 


Already started
A Court of Sliver Flames
Rules of Three
Fairest
Tales of the Peculiar
That Way Madness Lies- comes out in the middle of the month, so I hope to make a dent in this book by the end of the month. 

Hour 1
As I said at the top of this post, I will read with music and or a podcast this month. I feel like this might enhance the experience, and I might be able to focus on the books more. This hour I will read Fun Home and A Little Princess. I paired these two together because they both have musical adaptions I could listen to. This was actually the inspiration for this challenge. A Little Princess is short, so Alex& Eliza, which will be a buddy read with RR will be used during this hour as well. Fun Home is a Graphic Novel, so That Way Madness Lies will be used during this as well. There are three musicals that feature Shakespeare as part of the plot. & Juliet for R&J, Kiss Me, Kate, for Taming of the Shrew, and Something Rotten for anything else relating to Shakespeare. These are roughly an hour each, so in about two reading sessions they could be done. Hamilton is massive and will take at least three or four sessions. 

Hour 2


Hour 2 will be By the Book and Crown of Midnight. I thought Beauty and the Beast would work well for By the Book because it's about a bookish person. I might add other music here. Crown of Midnight will be the time I try a podcast because off the top of my head, I couldn't think of anything that really fit the vibes. 

Hour 3 

This hour will be two hard-hitting contemporaries. Charlie Vega is Latina so both In the Heights and West Side Story came to mind for the half-hour I'm reading that book. I'm not a sports person, but I might add Frozen here for Bear Town because Hockey is played in the winter. 

The books I'm in the middle of will be read throughout the rest of the day. I don't have music plans for them. Perhaps some Disney because Fairest is a retelling of an iconic Disney villain.

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday books/ series I would recommend to someone who says don’t like to read.

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we will all make a list based on that topic. This week, the topic is Books Written Before I Was Born ( These can be books you’ve read or want to read! ) ( submitted by Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog ). I wasn’t feeling this, and so I went through and found a post from The Broke & the Bookish, and I did that. The original post can  be found here . I thought I would recommend some books from some of my favorite genres.   The Classics 1- Pride & Prejudice This is one of my favorite classics, and when making my list this week, I knew I needed to include it. The reason is that I think this is one of the best books by Jane Austen, and we use the story in a lot of modern media. 2- To Kill A Mocking Bird I was so surprised by how much...
