[@BookedandBusy]

I love Gideon and I hope it’s a banger! Also highly recommend the audiobook!

[@MelLenoreReads]

Let's GO! So glad to have you co-hosting this month. Even from Italy, I think the black dragons are ones to watch. I feel like I need to try Mask of Mirrors again.

[@kaesinfinitelibrary]

Your September sounds EPIC 👏🏻 The Book Thief is a forever favorite of mine. I’m so intrigued by Sword Catcher and can’t wait to see how it plays out!!!

[@Books_BrewsandBeyond]

I hope you enjoy all the reads for September Becca- I still need to read Mask of Mirrors.

[@mm44953kl]

Lockwood and Co series also fits perfectly. My favorite book of all time and criminally underrated.

[@Sharmainesstaycation]

I want to read those! I just watched he tv show on Netflix

[@jenniferjohansson9523]

Oooh really excited to hear what you think of Mask of Mirrors if you have the time to read it!

[@BookishTrina]

Your trip sounds amazing, have fun! Just joined, black dragon BABY lol, this is going to be epic! Sounds like a blast. Thanks ❤

[@Ocicat93]

Yay, black dragon team :) I think it has the best bonus prompt as well. I listened to Gideon last month and it was so good! The narrator was amazing. It did get confusing but the wiki was so helpful. I had to write down every necromancer house and who belonged to who. It's definitely worth it for the ending though.

[@forest490]

The audiobook for Gideon the ninth is soo good!

[@alexis8596]

Black Dragons are going to dominate!! Gideon is one of my absolute favorites. It is a little confusing and a bit bonkers, but so good!

[@senaluvsskittles]

Omg Gideon the ninth! It’s sooo good. Honestly Gideon is the least confusing in the series, but I find you do get resolution at the end of each book. Gideon is confusing mostly because it throws you right in, but it’s quick to understand and I honestly think you’ll love it

[@dragonrambles]

I was going to join the readathon but my stress levels are too high at the mo to put any pressure/structure on my reading. Even as light as this one. I started reading WoT in 1993. Still haven’t finished as I decided at book 10 to wait until the rest were published before finishing it. Then forgot about it for a while. Am back to book 10 in my reread so will probably finish next year. None of the books are 5 star for me but I still enjoy the series and think it is worth reading - warts and all.

[@justynajusty]

Good luck! 👍 You got this!

[@scarletmooncreations]

This is a great idea. I have to add i too dont make a tbr most of the time.

[@alorainautumn]

I’m starting Mask of Mirrors tomorrow in anticipation of Italy! Also, I highly recommend Gideon- there is a lot of humor in it, so hopefully it hits right for you😊

[@laurenm2111]

I'm on Black Dragon team!! I did the quiz and it gave me green - but there was so many on that team already so picked your team!

[@nyxschmidt7728]

I’ve said this before, but I adore the mask of mirrors! The third one just came out and I am dying to read it

[@natcommon]

I’m participating in Battleathon for Team Red. I’m very excited for this readathon and hope we all get to read amazing books

[@zoeklein5121]

Mask of mirrors is one of my favorite book ever! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts 😊

[@thebookedpath]

Sorry, Team Green Dragon here for Battleathon. However, I have Sword Catcher on pre-order and am curious to hear your thoughts on it. Good luck on completing your reading. Sounds like a busy month ahead and safe travels in Italy!

[@Laurasbookishlife]

sword catcher is also on my tbr!! have fun in itay i was just there

[@heabooktubes]

Mask of Mirrors is great if clever characters is a major draw for you in fantasy. ♥️🎭

[@bethanyvanskiver8372]

I wish you the best on reading 📚 that TBR.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Here's my tbr Hyperion by dan Simmons A billion years by mike rinder memoir The outsider by Stephen king Jane Eyre are carryovers The plus one by mazzy eddings Tell me everything by minka Kelly memoir Someone else shoes by jojo moyes

[@imani_iguana]

Loved Cinda Williams China in middle school. I wonder if I’d still like it if I read it now. Thinking about rereading The Warrior Heir by her.

[@LorisBookTrials]

Black Team Reader Here!!!! Have so much fun on your trip❤❤❤❤

[@dropofgoldentarot]

I've never done a read-a-thin before, it sounds like fun. I signed up under the Black Team and am going to start with the the bonding book that features a prominent relationship and went with Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong. Anyone already read this? What did you think? I'm trying to find books on my TBR shelf that will fit the prompts. See you over on discord!

[@lauren7713]

Becca we need to win after the two realmathons!

[@BookishRaider]

I’ve only read the wrath and the dawn, but I still recommend it regardless

[@wendypridmore2005]

The book thief is one of my all time favourites

[@sarahoatley906]

I just purchased the new Casandra Claire can’t wait x

[@riankoch9126]

September is my birthday month so I’m putting 5 star predictions on it. Apparently reading 18 tomes is doable 🤣

[@ReadingNymph]

Im rereading Mask of Mirrors this month! Looking forqard to your thoughts 😊 Gideon the Ninth is one I have on my tbr, I will get to it eventually 😅

[@bethmw28]

I mean sure, the black dragon team is an option but... and hear me out here... what about the red dragons though?? We're pretty cool...😂😂❤🖤

[@mm44953kl]

It also Lockwood and Co series perfectly. My favorite book of all time and criminally underrated.

[@Sharmainesstaycation]

I'm in battleathon but I'm on team red. It's my first readathon and so cool! Go red team ❤❤❤❤ and black team 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@BooksToAshes]

Happy reading in September everyone! I'm behind on my Abercrombie books so it oddly works out that the next book has been pushed back haha. Here's to hoping we enjoy it 🤞

[@dg_reads]

Love that my first EVER in real life book club discussion is going to be in ITALY and a book I really enjoyed!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Good luck with your reading this month!!

[@Sarah.reads.sometimes]

I’m so curious about Gideon the Ninth. It’s one of those I know I’m most likely gonna love but just haven’t gotten to yet. I’m planning on reading The Wrath and the Dawn in September for one of the Battleathon bonus prompts 😊

[@spicykatzreads]

Go black dragons!!!!🐉🐉🐉 I need to do a reread of Gideon before I jump into Harrow the ninth because I was def confused the first half of the book but the ending was so good and devastating 😭

[@angelaholmes8888]

Good luck with the fire of heaven

[@PinkBeautyXx]

Im afraid you are going down! Blue team for the win 💙

[@DaniTheReader]

Black Dragons for the win!! 🖤🖤

[@sophiareagan6425]

I hope you like Gideon the Ninth! It's my favorite book of all time.

[@keller3647]

I don’t think the point of Joe’s books are no point. Best served cold is a vengeance plot with great character arcs, the Heroes is military (some of the best battles scenes I’ve read), red country a western quest type. He also subverts a lot of fantasy tropes. Age of Madness most certainly had many points Joe was conveying.

[@dg_reads]

Yay Black Dragons and yay September travels!!

[@justjaq2319]

If you find yourself in Rome eat a ton of Supplì, they're delicious

[@thiadesg]

Early in August, I decided to DNF Best Served Cold. I can't wait for the liveshow to see what everyone thought about it.

[@sarahheartsbooks1]

Mask of Mirrors 💜💙🩵

[@skateanddonate]

Team black ❤🎉❤

[@bizzywithbooks5256]

How do we join the catch up book club?

[@starlasell5698]

❤️📚❤️

[@arobinreads]

❤❤❤

[@MeMyshelfAndI]

lmao. it doesn't matter how many times you say it, it always throws me off how you say JOO-ly instead of Juh-LY 😂

[@rebelbelle1388]

I've read The Fires of Heaven. I didn't find it as interesting or engaging as the previous installment, unfortunately. It's one of the longer ones too! Good luck. I've found the best way to consume Jordan's work is via audiobook.

[@suvideiann9227]

Battleathon is nearly here! Am of course in the black dragon team because of Becca and Tairn! 🫶🏻🤓 Also participating in Space Opera September, let's hope September is a great reading month for us all! ☺️
