✨Magical Readathon: Orilium Spring Equinox 2022 Announcement✨

[@Reading_in_pink]

Officially the most fun anyone will ever have for free ✨✨ you raise the bar every damn time G 👏🏻👏🏻

[@BookRoast]

That's really sweet of you to say 🥺

[@sunflowermerlie]

I’ve never been too much into readathons, I’ve tried quite a few but none have stuck out to me the way yours has. It really motivated me to read this month, especially last week. Thank you so much for bringing your creativity and wonderful imagination into this community! I’m very excited for April, and for the worldbuilding!

[@BookRoast]

Thank you, I am really glad you're joining us all at Orilium! 💜🏰

[@BookRoast]

Hi! Thank you everyone for joining in this Orilium adventure 🪶📜, I hope you will have a lot of fun! If it motivates you tor read, all the better! Everything is linked in the description bar, feel free to peruse 🥰 Edit: as of 20 : 50pm I've updated the Callings files as there were some errors in two titles (Craftsman and Demonologist) just in case you want to update!)

[@marta.r.correia]

You never cease to amaze me, G! The level of imagination, organisation and dedication put into these readathons is just next level - Thank You (to you and AJ)!!! Can't wait to go through everything calmly, think about my character and choose a calling (I wish I could print everything and give it a nice old looking binding). Looking very much forward to see what else you have up your sleeve during the month! SO excited! Sending lots of love and gratitude 🖤✨

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much Marta, so glad you like it!

[@HorseLover3061]

i need book recs for under 100 pages and books about healers please 🙏

[@renee_3364]

G, this is beyond amazing! I've never been into readathons, but your Magical Readathon has always been the exception. It feels like a sort of reading-themed D&D campaign with an amazing community. Thank you so much for creating, hosting and outdoing yourself everytime. You are beyond amazing, please take care of yourself and your health

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much for adventuring with us!

[@siameseire]

oh, I'm excited. I don't know anything about any of this but I can wear my wonderfully wizardy clothes and enjoy my version of the world while I find some of the stories and hang out with you all. What a great idea.

[@chemicalpoisons]

G, I can't tell you how excited I am for this. This Readathon was the reason I got back into books (I love a challenge), revisited my bookstagram, met new friends and generally found my love for reading again. Thank you so much. Can't wait to choose my Calling.

[@BookRoast]

I'm so glad you're back with us! 💜 I'm really humbled this helped you get back into reading! That's amazing!

[@chemicalpoisons]

@@BookRoast you shouldn't be humbled! Your imagination astonishes me every single time you upload an Orilium video. I'm humbled by you! Can't wait to see more videos from you (roasting books, all the better 😏) and I hope you'll feel better soon. 🙏🏻

[@francescathomas3502]

I am in the Archivist guild, and i will be a SCRIBE in this first year. But I also have plans to return to become a story weaver, a rift architect and a craftsmage - that will do me for the next 4 years!!

[@angelbeth16]

I’m so excited 🤩 I can’t wait !!!

[@arobinreads]

Me too!!!

[@kwilder1]

The Adventure Board idea is so cool! Glad we can have our characters complete side jobs while in school lol

[@BookRoast]

Can't get too relaxed! haha

[@giselaperez6746]

I just subscribed to your channel to follow this new magical Readathon. I couldn’t do it last year because it was a little complicated to me. This new one is more similar to the previous magical Readathon. Let’s see how it works for me. But you are amazing creating this type of activities. Spectacular, unique! I don’t know why I waited so long to subscribe. Good luck for every participant.

[@BookRoast]

Hope you will have fun! Remember you can alter it in any way that suits you and makes it fun for you!

[@heatherballard3149]

I wish I was younger and still in school so I had the time and energy to read so much to go along with this. This is genius.

[@midnight3sun]

This is the bookish fantasy D&D readathon I didn’t know I needed!! Thank you for putting this together with such attention to detail and I LOVE all the documents you’ve created for everyone to use

[@maddielouwho]

The amount of work you put into these of honestly inspiring lol!! Been here since your last HP readathon and I’m so excited to continue this one!!!!

[@BookRoast]

Awww thank youuu! 🌳💜

[@katrinatisdale889]

I’m just so in awe of how creative you are and how much fun this is! So much time and dedication! THANK YOU! I’m so excited :)

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!

[@sapeboble100]

once again i am amazed and so so impressed with what you have come up with!!!! this is going to be so much fun, dusting off the old character sheets and getting back into magical adventures mode. thank you so much for doing this for all of us, it's such a highlight reading wise for me, every year i've taken part!

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!

[@MarinaUz]

This is so brilliant G 😭 Your imagination always amazes me! I can't wait for April ❤️

[@BookRoast]

Thanks so much Marina!

[@EviLittlefoot]

This is seriously amazing, G! My mind has been repeatedly blown since you started rolling this readathon out last year and this finale is just *chef’s kiss*. Thank you for all the time and work you’ve put into this for us! You are truly a fantastic creator!‬ 💜💜💜

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so so much!

[@ReadingNymph]

Yay necromancer is what I hoped would be there! Thankyou so much for this!

[@ChattieTheMadChatter]

This is even more amazing than expected, and considering EVERYTHING that has come before my expectations were through the roof! I hope this gives you great joy and keeps your head, heart and soul healthy. So excited and sending you lots of love, love for AJ, the patrons, and the fab mods on dischord who help out. 👌🙌👏👏👏👏❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!

[@alittlelifeofmel5157]

G I don’t think you realize how amazingly creative you are. You give us this amazing readathon that you pulled out of your brain and ask for absolutely nothing in return. I know I speak for everyone when I say thank you for just everything you do!

[@BookRoast]

🥺Thank you, that's really kind of you to say!

[@sophiecarbone4977]

So excited for this!! Have just enough space to fit it into my reading journal!! The art looks amazing, and I am already so ready to become an alchemist!!

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!

[@bookrockgoddess]

I can't wait for April! I am part of the Crescent Guild and I am super excited to try for the Master of Elements.

[@RSorei]

I am so looking forward to August already ^^

[@TheOldSarahEdie]

the amount of creativity and thought and care that goes into all the details for these readathons is literally awe-inspiring. it's so much fun and I can't wait to start actually keeping up with them from here on out!

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!!

[@christinah3332]

I am so excited to be back in this world!

[@Readingwithkels]

I am so excited for this! I have been in a reading slump so I am looking forward to having something fun to bring me out of it! You are amazing for creating such a fun and creative readathon.

[@BookRoast]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@kaylamariemadayag6220]

This boutta be so f-ing awesome. Love the tier addition and I am so excited for all of aldeia

[@BookRoast]

I'm so glad you like the tiers, was cautious that might be overkill haha

[@victoriabyers5161]

This is THE coolest thing I've ever heard of. I am so so excited to jump in here! I'm sad I wasn't here to start from the beginning with everyone but I'm so excited to get started!

[@lina5699]

Ooh I'm excited. I'm doing Ramadan too so yayyy

[@Monica.Bibliophilebynight]

I have, loved, loved, loved your previous readathons and I am SURE that this one won't be any different. Thank you so much for all your hard work in pulling this together for us! You are so amazing!

[@BookRoast]

Aw thank you so much!

[@daniellehinton9607]

G, you're just amazing!! I was really needing some reading encouragement and I never read more than when I'm doing one of your readathons!! Thank you thank you thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@BookRoast]

Thanks so much! So glad you like it!

[@UtterlyReading]

Just seen this video today after already reading some of my TBR for the month (ahead of schedule!!) So i was able to use what I had left for the prompts for Archmage! How lucky is that?! One or 2 might not be perfect for the prompts but they work and I've already started them this month, so I'm counting it!

[@ashleyproctor9589]

Yay! I love this entire fantasy world and lore you have created. I loved the Harry Potter themed readathon, but this is just perfection. Can't wait for April 1st! This is literally the only readathon I follow and get genuinely excited for.

[@BookRoast]

Thank you, that really means a lot!

[@FromtheDepthsofMel]

What a lovely birthday gift... but also, things are so busy this month that I hope I can get to everything! Maybe not so much the 24 hr, because I am busy the whole of the 23rd with 3 different events. Baby showers, choir concerts, and hockey themed baseball games don't really allow for reading time.

[@BookRoast]

That is busy! Hope you have a lovely time!

[@mariaarias3586]

Oh my goodness… This sounds like so much fun.. this is my first time doing this super excited😊..

[@BookRoast]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@alysonhasthoughts2844]

Your whole look for this video is fantastic, but I love your eyeshadow especially!!

[@BookRoast]

Oh thank you!

[@pageswithpostelwait9720]

This is so fun! I can't wait to join the adventure!

So so excited for this. I cannot wait to become a mind mender 🥰✨

[@BookRoast]

A great choice!

[@leannejenkins6887]

You are so creative and talented, i can't wait to start in a couple of days!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I love how creative and fun you always make these readathons!

[@lina5699]

You thought this out so well! Wow you're so creative.

[@fictionalqueer]

I’m only just joining now but I have made my character and done the quiz. I am in the Arcane Guild ! I would love to be an Archmage but it’s a looooot of books for Autumn 😂 Might have to go for something a bit less intimidating!

[@marinedelap1945]

I am so excited for this !! Thank you so much for all your hard work and this creative world, it's amazing !

[@BookRoast]

Thank you!

[@sundaygirl8962]

Oh my … you have come through yet again … you are amazing.. The amount of time you’ve put into this .. I can’t even imagine..off to do some reading of the printouts ..thank you thank you ☺️

[@BookRoast]

Thank you!

[@disastart]

this is bringing me so much joy! v excited to return to your magical readathon, g 💚 just knowing that this was going to be posted today helped me get through work

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!

[@kelseymiddleton8562]

I cannot believe you built a world like this. I am blown away! What are your suggestions if someone like myself who hasn’t participated but wants to start and wants to completely the novice path and the April spring equinox. I know the submissions of the novice path are closed but for the April portion - would w shave until the fall equinox to be able to complete?

[@BookRoast]

Heya! You can absolutely extend the time, yes! 🥰

[@inlovewithmusic2121]

I always love this Readathon! It’s so much fun with the classes/career path idea.

[@BookRoast]

Thank you so much!

[@Abbeyleec]

I'm so excited we are getting a round in April! I've been waiting for this for like 6 months! I can't wait to figure out my calling.

[@ABookFiendNamedMel]

You honestly amaze me with the amount of work you put in! I’m so excited, this looks so much fun. I’m so excited

[@isabellavalentine7268]

I think I’ll be choosing Godseer! Super excited for April and to be an Archivist

[@elskabee]

Wow, the amount of work that went into this is incredible! So hard to choose a calling, there's too many good options!

[@francescathomas3502]

Thats why you can choose one now and come back next year for a different calling!!

[@BookRoast]

Thank you!

[@hollowpens]

Incredible as always! I have WAY to many readathons planned for April, but I'm so excited for it! Thank you SO much!

[@BookRoast]

Hope you have fun! ✨

[@Elsie1588]

I love it! I'm so excited for next month. Everything looks and sounds amazing. Thanks so much for organizing this.

[@BookRoast]

Thank you!

[@stellataneva7012]

This brings me pure joy! ❤️Thank you so much!❤️

[@Ada2994]

I love this so much! Did the novice path and the gear up and just picked my calling (necromancer) and I cannot wait! This is incredible G! ❤

[@BookRoast]

Well done!

[@leslecturesajigoku7863]

Thank you for all the work behind it! I'm already so excited for this 😆

[@BookRoast]

Thank you for joining!

[@natd2330]

Oh wow, this is outstanding! You are amazing! Can't wait to do this!

[@thebookdreamersalley]

I'm so excited!!! I wanted many callings, but decided it's always better to go for your first hunch, so I chose Archmage (yeah, I'm a member of the House of the Arcane). This world is more than I could have hoped for. Thank you very much indeed from the emotional part of my brain!!!! Huge hugs for your health! X

[@BookRoast]

Thanks so much!

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Aughhh, I wish I had time to do this! But when I do I fully intend to go for Paragon. Maybe next year. It WILL be awesome. I can't wait to see everyone's Magical Reading Nook

[@JessicaLynn10]

This is so exciting! I can't wait to decide my career!

[@mali_in_the_woods4353]

This is so, so exciting! Thank you for your incredible work to create this masterpiece of a readathon. 🤗

[@BookRoast]

Hope you have fun! ✨

[@msellenandrea]

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE, G! You are amazing, and I am so excited :D

[@BookRoast]

Thank you Ellen!! 💜

[@skyhazzard13]

Yey! I'm so excited, I really need this to kick off my reading again, I've been slacking this month lol

[@jordanyoung4735]

So excited!! Can't wait to set my tbr!

[@elisatrrn]

The callings seemed soo cool 🥰 I'm hyped ! Can't wait to pick one and collect some guild points 👀

[@CaroLiaGrace]

I need recommendation for book featuring a healer!

[@francescapizzighini3014]

Me too, I have no idea😭

[@bubble77ca]

All of the eye of the world books by Robert Jordan Rat Queens (graphic novel series) I would argue that books with real world doctors in them would count? Either non fiction or fiction I’m interested to hear more recs!

[@BookRoast]

There's a thread on Twitter with lots of recs now, hope these will be helpful 🥰

[@tyac.610]

There are so many amazing careers idk how I’m going to choose just one!😍

[@Toneh9]

I can not wait! 🤩 Btw in the sims 4, the magical realm is pretty much spot on for imagining Orilium 🦄 and having a go at building the school 😁

[@BookRoast]

Now I want to play Sims :D

[@regitzexenia]

I am so ready ✨ The callings are amazing! I have been creating a nature witch / elven Druid character (also possibly using this character for DnD 🧐) and I think I’m going to chose the Faewild cartographer 🌱

[@BookRoast]

That sounds so fun!

[@AbiofPellinor]

I adore how you've made this your own!

[@BookRoast]

Thank you!

[@reginad91]

This looks so cool again 🥰 I'm really looking forward to our First classes 😅 but quick question: is there a possibilty to participate in the guild-adventure-part for us non-twitterusers? 😬

[@BookRoast]

Hi! Glad you're excited, thank you for joining! And yes, join in on Discord, I will be putting some quests for grabs there too!

[@billiep1603]

I’ve really wanted to participate in your readathon! I’m super excited lol

You put so much work in this. It came out fantastically. Can’t wait for the readathon to start. I am so EXCITED!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆

[@BookRoast]

Thank you!

[@zoeeddon3979]

Not me picking Godseer as my calling and realising there’s 7 prompts to fulfill 💀 gonna have to call work and tell them I won’t be in next month😂

[@StormReads]

Excited to find my calling! 😀

[@ericar5739]

So cool! Im trying it out and I'm reading to be an elemental. Question! Is there extra reading for which type(air, water, fire, earth)? Figured I'm gonna start as a 10year old then start my journey by finding out type on the Novice Path. Is there a Quest I can do to know the Elemental Type? or suggestions? (the book I'm reading has all elements lol).

[@uthikalikestoread2462]

Yes I love this I can’t wait to start organizing my thoughts😂❤️✨

[@BookRoast]

Yay!!

[@LovelyIris22]

I'm so excited!! Can't wait

[@emmajoseph2603]

So excited for this, sitting picking my TBR now! Your imagination is incredible! A couple of questions because I can’t help thinking ahead. Will the prompts change for the subjects between April and August? Also if I took the same character back next year do I do the same calling or something different?

[@francescathomas3502]

If things follow the old magical read-a-thons then yes the prompts will be different for the next semester and yes you can bring the same character in the same guild back next year to do a different career!! The 2 different prompts levels are equivalent to what we used to call OWLS and NEWTS but so far have not been specifically named unless they are now being called Spring Equinox and Autumn Equinox. So there are 2 levels - the spring equinox (April) is the easy level and the Autumn equinox (August) is the harder level.

[@emmajoseph2603]

@@francescathomas3502 ooh thanks! This is my first year but super excited. So many fun options

[@nathicorn3046]

I love it! Thank you for creating this world

[@BookRoast]

Thank you for participating!

[@nams29]

Thank you so much for creating all of this! I can't wait to start reading. I think I found a mistake in the Callings file: the Story Weaver has the same key traits as the Healer. I'm assuming they're not supposed to be so similar :)

[@AmyNoelleReads]

Although I'm in the House of the Arcane and can go for Archmage, I think Alchemist works best for my character so I'm doing that. 10 classes. 10 books. 😅I am READY! 💯👏

[@BookRoast]

Oooh good luck!

[@agameoffangsandthrones584]

Aww I want more than one calling. I'm in house of the crescent so going for master of elements but I want to be beast master as well.

[@TheKarinaChronicles]

This is just so incredible. I've watched all the videos although I never got myself to actually participate, but I just dream about it regularly haha. I just can't get myself to participate in readathons just yet, because of the commitment and my crazy year now, but just know I REALLY appreciate all this effort! EDIT: I've decided to join anyway hahahaha
