She did it y'all. Not only created a new (and better) version of the readathon, but built a complete novel-worthy world and lore around it... G, you are absolutely amazing: I speak for many community members when I say: THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR MAGICAL HEADMASTRESS!

[@stardropboy]

THE WAY I SCREAMED and then realised it was midnight and i’m supposed to be asleep

[@zeelixiroflife]

THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE. I feel so ecstatic that I am witnessing the beginning of this incredible readathon and that i'll be able to come along for the journey from the very start

[@kiara9538]

G, I am completely speechless. You have truly outdone yourself. This world you've created sounds incredible and I can't wait to be a part of this amazing adventure with you and this entire community. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into this 🧡

[@sabriel_reads]

I am SO hyped for this, I've done this readathon 2 years in a row before the break and I'm so happy it's back 😭😭

[@carrieicanhasbooks]

I want to make all the characters, I love making alts. You are brilliant G, this is going to be amazing. PS, you should write a book.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

And illustrate it!

[@dorothybrown2287]

I agree

[@dorothybrown2287]

I would definitely read it

[@KateHowlett17]

I saw that Logan's handle says he plays D&D - you should absolutely make a D&D setting out of this world because it's amazing. So hyped for the readathon and all the work you put into it.

[@ghidoreadsbooks]

Excited doesn’t even begin to describe how I am feeling. Thank you for being magical 🤍

[@BookRoast]

🥺💜

[@BooksToAshes]

I'm not even surprised that I already know I'm in love with Darkmeadow and Iltirlans. I'm basic, just throw dark, mysterious things at me and I'll stick to it like glue.

[@readswithemma]

This needs to be novelised! Such incredible imagination and beautiful graphics, thank you so much G for sharing this with us, excited to get started!

[@davidlove236]

You created a WORLD for a readathon?! Awesome! I am so excited for this. The hardest part? Choosing a heritage for my character.

[@lilifane]

I've never really wanted to take part in a readathon until now. This sounds amazing and I can't wait. The amount of details and thought that went into it combined with how easy it is to participate is just... wow.

[@erynnm3045]

So my fiancé thinks this would make an epic book and you should write a story out of it. He would read it. Lol. This sounds amaaaaazing! 😁 can’t wait for it to start!!

[@callistoursus8300]

Yesterday and especially today I had pretty bad anxiety but selecting books for my TBR and creating a character kept me busy after work. I'm so thankful for this Readathon and especially that you G, always put in so much effort for the community :)

[@luengardee7355]

Your creativeness is truly out of this world guurl, I cannot even begin to imagine all the effort and work that went into organizing this awesome readathon - from the lore to the printables, down to every little detail. Thank you♥️ Happy to be back for another incredible new adventure⚔️♥️

[@readingandrum]

OH MY GOD. WE DON'T DESERVE YOU. this is incredible! Ive NEVER been so excited for a readathon or community event as this one. You absolutely killed this 👏👏👏

[@BookedandBusy]

[@BookRoast]

💜💜

[@Princess_Sassiel]

I don't have words for how awed I am with your creativity and generosity for making such an incredible original readathon with such amazing lore and artwork. You are incredible. Thankyou

[@aliceborry3753]

The amount of thought, care and love you put into this readathon is amazing. Thank you so much. I'm beyond excited to discover this new world and travel with everyone.

[@mirandarichmond9878]

Had to pause when she welcomed us back to the magical readathon because I'm actually crying. I can see it's going to take longer than the 25 minutes to actually watch this video

[@goloveyourself2]

I literally had tears in my eyes when you said welcome back 🥲

[@BookRoast]

So did I when I was editing, it's okay 😂💜 welcome back!

[@pumpkinjennilynn]

The detail, the art, the everything is so exciting can’t wait to participate

[@stardropboy]

cannot contain my excitement this will be all i’m thinking about until the premiere

[@Val13012]

I'm so excited that's there's a potential for 4+ years of content for this readathon. That's amazing G!

[@deepmaxlore]

This is almost a whole TTRPG! I could not be more excited. You've fully outdone yourself.

[@AbiofPellinor]

I'm so excited for this!! I've not even seen it yet and I know that you've just put so much hard work and effort into this G! This is so amazing!

[@AnanasAbanaan]

Most anticipated readathon, that's a thing they should add to booktube tags (and everybody would pick this one of course)! 🌌

[@Cozyknitsandreads]

this is so amazing! Truly thank you for all the work and creativity you put into the readathon! If any publisher reads this: Give her a book deal to write down the story of Orilium!

[@zierrahikari1122]

The world G created is AMAZING! Like.. She totally should make this into a book cause this world she created need to be put in word and be shared around the world as a physical copy novel! I will soo totally buy that book no doubt! I am soo excited to join this!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH G FOR BEING AMAZING AND SUPER MAGICAL!!

[@ViVaLaGloria999]

Wow, I'm literally speechless. The amount of work, you really have outdone yourself!! You and also Logan created a whole new magical world for us, this is just so so incredible. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for lighting up my day with this fantastic video and the new readathon, I feel like I want to start like immediately 😂 so looking forward to read with you all, so freaking excited! 🖤

[@libbyhanzlik3110]

G, I found the book tube community during your last HP readathon so I never really got to participate, but I could tell it was truly something special to the community. This readathon though...the amount of detail you have put into it and the time you must have spent to create a completely new and original world this fleshed out and solid, its nothing short of magical. This is already a work of art and I can't wait to see where that beautiful mind of yours takes us. Thank you for sharing this with us. All the love

[@theblackenedphoenix]

This looks so fun. I’ve done Magical Readathon before but I love the character creation aspect. It’s like role playing with a readathon! Thank for doing this!

[@youwillneverknow7165]

Damn I am not even done watching but this is so. COOL. The dnd elements are giving me life and it sounds so cozy and immersive and magical and I am so exciteddd. G, you're amazing.

[@thatnerdywitch]

[@emillyw5622]

I’m so hyped and absolutely speechless at the world you’ve created here. Can’t wait for it to start 😍

[@amandajean8776]

I became a mom when this was starting and it’s been a wild year with no time or energy to read. I’ve lost my identity and now I’m trying to find it again through reading. I’m so excited to create my new self!

[@Spcyfic]

OH. MY. GOD. I'm already a fan ! Thank you so much G 😍

[@reedoesthings]

I feel like if ATLA and LOTR had a baby and it was raised by the descender series it would be this an I am blown away and frickin love this!

[@beta5478]

I HAVE NO WORDS! THE SCREAM THAT CAME OUT OF ME WAS NOT FROM THIS WORLD!! YOU ARE AMAZING G!!!

[@kate_1910]

[@nddinatali]

You are a genius! A creative genius! You should make a book, manga, video game based on your ideas. I love it!

[@pandora4037]

I was expecting a readathon and what I got was a novel! 😁 I've been looking forward to this all year. This is awesome, you're so creative. This would make a great series. 🤯

[@elisatrrn]

Ok but umm I'm going to need the book now !!! In the first few minutes of the video I was trying to find out what this was based on because I didn't know you actually created the whole thing lol ! this is truly incredible, I'm speechless. The fact that this is a brand new world and that you created everything like wow

[@kiraironskin]

She is back! SHE! IS! BACK! 🎉😱😱🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️ - And I RECHOICED over the schedule! April and August are the only time in the year when I can take time off from work so I CAN participate without handling a works routine at the same time. THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️

[@moorcroftpets8900]

Just had to say I've been watching your channel and book tube videos in general for years and have never made any comments or joined any readathons but just wanted to say the work and thought into this is incredible, you have totally gone above and beyond to create something even better and more immersive than ever before, and I can't wait to join in. x

[@FrankieReads]

Thank you SO much for doing this. The world you have created is incredible and I'm just blown away by it. Your commitment to the book community is unparalleled and we love you for it!!!

[@lacapitale3103]

I had the subtitles for this video and Logan's comment at the end just killed me, it was so funny ! "And doing three hours of closed captions because youtube thought you were speaking dutch" That's hilarious 🤣

[@boojingleful]

Your creativity and work to channel it into such a fantastic thing to share is so incredible! No one would have blamed you for abandoning the Readathon after you know what, and instead you give us THIS 😍

[@tabsd781]

Holy. . . whoa, this was well, well, *well* worth the wait and is absolutely brilliant. I can't wait to participate!

[@theorsofamily]
