MONSTERathon 2019


So basically my best pal Stormi has convinced me to join another readathon.  COYER ends on Saturday and this one starts on Sunday.  You know what they say, no rest for the wicked.  Be sure to check out her TBR HERE.

MONSTERathon is a new readathon being hosted by Chaptercviii (Chapter Cate) on Booktube.  You can find all the information about the readathon HERE.  In a nutshell there are 3 teams - The Beasts, The Haunts and The Conspiracies.  You initially join a team because this is a competitive challenge.  Each team has an individual story to read and then there are book challenges and post challenges where additional points can be earned.  Each point gained is "one villager terrorized."  Sounds complicated but really it isn't. You can also earn points by read the other people's assigned story.

So this is my official TBR. To be honest, I was able to work a lot of my planned reads in anyway which makes it somewhat easier.

    1. I was trying to work in what I needed to read where I could - especially since I hadn't planned on joining in until SOMEONE convinced me.
