Orilium Magical Readathon Autumn Equinox TBR 🥳📚

[@euqueromocoto]

I loved Witch! Here in Brazil we never got a proper edition, but we had a magazine that used to publish them 😁 I remember that my girl group used to pretend we actually were each one of them 😂

[@BookRoast]

Hahah so did we! We’re you even a kid if you didn’t pretend 😂

[@sophiacruz7266]

I read Cemetery Boys for the Spring Equinox and it was the best book I read that month. It was a pretty fast read. What I really loved about it was that I related to the culture (Latina here) and since I’m from LA I could envision where Yadriel was going around in East LA. I loved all of the characters. I didn’t expect to cry while reading this book but I did.

[@andra7481]

WITCH was also one of my childhood favourites 😭😭 i think i still have all the comic books, short stories and magazines (somewhere at my parents’ place haha i really need to dig them out)

[@BookRoast]

I wish I had mine too!!! I don’t even know where they’ve gone 😭

[@kateclark7122]

Cemetery Boys is on my TBR too. The Color Wheel gave me maroon.

[@luciesouvenir9481]

Can't wait to go back to Orilium ❤️

[@djungeltea]

Just reread W.i.t.c.h myself and for me it definitely held up! I was a massive Elyon fan and I still love her 😅

[@BookRoast]

That’s promising!! 🥰

[@laiaal.3324]

Same!

[@bookswithseab]

OMG! I used to love W.i.t.c.h!!!! Now I want to reread them!!!!

[@holdenbeach4ever]

I'm attempting to read a book for all 42 prompts!! You should definitely read Rebecca.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Another vote to read Rebecca! Whooo wooo

[@BookRoast]

Ooooh best of luck!!

[@foxadeello]

Me too!!

[@lazyhomebody1356]

@@foxadeello Wow, you guys!!!

[@theadora1693]

Oh my gosh, you look so beautiful! Giving me 70s, ethereal vibes.

[@jaycarr5906]

Cemetery Boys was incredible, such beautifully done trans rep. If the writing style bothers you, listen to it on audio. That's how I read it. Loved the narrator.

[@katie_1791]

omg i was also thinking of reading Rebecca for the ‘Courier Needed’ quest!!

[@Reading_in_pink]

Honestly never thought I’d see the day where you held up Raybearer on this channel 😭👏🏻🤩 I hope you do get to it! It has a lovely audiobook! Also a nice departure from the usual European myths and folklore as it is African inspired

[@Reading_in_pink]

The rest of the TbR looks good too I guess 😅

[@martureads]

woo good to hear that the audiobook is nice since my library app has it ☺

[@BookRoast]

[@msellenandrea]

[@sakurahan91]

WITCH was on in the UK! I owned the novels of it when I was a child. I wish I still had them!

[@nerdtastic2014]

I adore the "I Hear the Sunspot" manga series! I've been waiting over 2 years for the latest volume but my library system still doesn't have it. 😥 I believe this is the reading/publication order: 1. I Hear the Sunspot 2. I Hear the Sunspot: Theory of Happiness 3. I Hear the Sunspot: Limit Volume 1 4. I Hear the Sunspot: Limit Volume 2 5. I Hear the Sunspot: Limit Volume 3

[@bookishsian9557]

Yay Raybearer! I really hope you enjoy it!

[@BrittanyLovesReading]

So many good books on this TBR!

[@kateadale7100]

I loved Cemetery Boys. Male sure you have tissues to hand. I didn't and I just wasn't prepared. I bawled my eyes out

[@BookRoast]

Oh no I had no idea I’ll be sad 👀

[@kateadale7100]

@@BookRoast Don't worry they are good tears.

[@starry_worlds]

I love Witch! I loved the show and book when I was younger. I need to rewacth/reread them but I'm worried they won't hold up.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Good luck with your reading!

[@tibbarasden]

Witch sounds cute. I hope you enjoy all your reads in August.

[@BookRoast]

Thank you! WITCH was so magical I hope it still holds up!

[@MilenaReads]

Ooh, so many fun romances! Curious to see what you think of it. Rebecca is quite a fast read once you’ve gotten into it.

[@BookRoast]

I know! An odd development ahah

[@catnip2696]

I think my TBR is going to be: Book with an Animal Companion- Legends and Lattes Start a book with a drink- The Score by Elle Kennedy (Although this could be anything so might be a bit of a mood pick) Letter L in the title- The Goal by Elle Kennedy Book on someone's worst list- The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood Childhood Favourite- The Suitcase Kid by Jacqueline Wilson Graphic Novel- Lore Olympus Vol.3 by Rachel Smythe Read a Fantasy- The Pale Dreamer by Samantha Shannon Quest Reads: Historical Fiction- I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys Buddy Read- Upgrade by Blake Crouch Author Beginning with B or F- Unraveller by Frances Harding 3 Word title (Patreon Exclusive)- Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll REALISTICALLY... I'm not sure I'll get to any questions but we can always be organised in case!

[@SuperJen87]

Yes I was hoping you would have Upgrade so I could steal it for my TBR! Thanks G!!

[@EMenozzi]

the Fairyloot edition of Undertaking of Hart and Mercy has a pink cover and looks great

[@Reading_in_pink]

I’m 150 pages in and really having a fun time with it

[@BookRoast]

That’s true! It almost made it on the list!

[@tinarogacheva1109]

[@pasa2106]

OMG, I loved WITCH and Irma is still my favorite :D I think I even still have some of my old magazines. I am so excited for this readathon, thank you so much for creating it

[@ellie-elles.bookshelf]

Can’t wait for the Readathon!! Good luck with your TBR 🤩

[@rileyxchaos]

I loved WITCH... the whole tv show is on youtube last time I checked

[@lunalovebook9701]

Aw I’m so happy I picked Witch too as the reread a book prompt! Mine though is the omnibus number 3 (I’m in Italy and here they’re reprinting them in blocks of five 🥹). I still love it to pieces, it gives me the coziest nostalgia ever!

[@BookRoast]

I’m really excited to get back to that world!

[@mirjam9009]

The cover of The Hollow Places reminds me of A Book in a Jar.

[@BethWade]

Wahoo! TBR pile! Hopefully you smash it next month.

[@Toneh9]

I can't wait! I might steal Raybearer off of your tbr. I've had it for a year and not gotten to it! I have the same career as you, so that was handy. Just ordered a couple of books yesterday, and I would really like to recommend Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi as a graphic novel. It will be a reread for me, and I'm so exited for it!

[@BookRoast]

Yessss steal it steal it! 🥰

[@kiwisocke199]

"I need a bit more fantasy... let me pick a sci fi short story collection!" Wonderful! Your TBR sounds fun :)

[@BookRoast]

Sci fi is a type of fantasy in my books 😂😂😂

[@Amy-vg4xt]

Cemetery Boys is worth the praise it gets in my opinion! It's very fun and is still one I think about often even two years after reading it. I hope you like it!

[@leticiamcs7]

oooh I think I'll pick I Hear The Sunspot from your TBR, thanks G!

[@BookRoast]

Go for it!

[@stellataneva7012]

I'm up for rereading W.I.T.C.H. Here in Bulgaria we had the tv series but I didn't like it very much. I loved Cornelia and Caleb and I'm excited to visit the world again. ☺ I may try The Maidens, it's sounds good to me, and I need a book on someone's worst list.😄

[@dg_reads]

I didn't manage to get Upgrade onto my tbr bit I'm hoping to fit it in!

[@firelight09]

Rebecca is superb! It's also got two adaptations at least.

[@makaylagrant873]

My tbr is: The Jade War (from my friend's tbr) Gideon the Ninth Notes on an execution (this one might be swapped out)

[@BookRoast]

Good luck!

[@racheldaly4604]

I loved WITCH as a kid, read all the comics and watched the show, so amazing

[@mirtareads2042]

I loved Witch when I was little! I still got almost all my comics but I need to buy the bundle edition 😍

[@whitedaylilies]

My husband is currently reading Upgrade and is loving it… so I guess I’m stealing that book for my own TBR! :) So much looking forward to going back to Orilium!!

[@moiradarling97]

The Hollow Places is SO good. It was the first book that kind of creeped me out. There’s much more necromancyish stuff in the second half. I listened to it on audiobook and it was pretty good.

[@BookRoast]

I wish the audiobook was available in the uk 😭

[@moiradarling97]

@@BookRoast I hate that! I don’t understand how we all can have the same app and not the same content.

[@BlinkFly]

I recently read The Hollow Places and LOVED it! I found the story addicting and I felt like I HAD to find out what was going to happen next.

[@isisvda]

My tbr: A book with necromancy themes: Gideon the Ninth (audiobook) A book with bones on the cover/ title: The Bone Ships A book from someone else’s tbr: The Two Towers (BeccaAndTheBooks’ April/may tbr) A book with a single object on the cover: Station Eleven (a deer on the UK edition) Annotate this book: Convenience Store Woman Colour wheel spin, red: The Hunger of the Gods (not entirely red but I think it counts)

[@moi1310]

I'm planning my tbr right now as well! I finally decided to pursue goodseer, but still giving my character some affinity for healing. It has been so difficult and I will miss alchemy but I might take an extra class in alchemy to make up for it, and it will also fit lore wise if my character has some basic medic knowledge. I'm also planning to do quest! So motivated right now!

[@BookRoast]

Have Alchemy as a hobby 🥰

[@bookbrowsingblog]

In case no one has commented to yet, the reading order for I Hear the Sunspot! I Hear the Sunspot I Hear the Sunspot: Theory of Happiness I Hear the Sunspot: Limit 1 I Hear the Sunspot: Limit 2 I Hear the Sunspot: Limit 3

Delilah Green sounds like so much fun!!!

[@savannahcarlon7033]

The Hollow Places seems to be a you'll love it or you'll hate it based on the Goodreads reviews, but I really loved it. One of the most original books I've ever read - it definitely matched what my nightmares are like so it really gave me the creepy unsettling vibes.

I did enjoy it when I did read half of it hahha
