Good Saturday Morning,
First and foremost I do not think that this is a bad readathon. I am just not the right kind of person to do a month-long readathon with rules. I found that I am putting way to much pressure on myself and I am not allowing myself to read things that I really want to just because they are not on my list.
The problem is not the readathon the problem is me.
So this is what I am going to do. I am going to tell you what I have accomplished and then at the end of the month, we will see what I read and where those fit in and if they do that is great. If they don’t well that’s going to be okay too.
So this is what I have accomplished as of today:
Care of Magical Creatures (Land animal on the cover)
Short Stories from Hogwarts of Heroism, Hardship and Dangerous Hobbies by J.K. Rowling
Herbology (Plant on the cover)
Alphas and Airships by Melanie Karsak
History of Magic (Published at least 10 years ago)
Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
Potions (Sequel)
Heartless by Gail Carriger
Transfiguration (Sprayed edges or red cover)
Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide by J.K. Rowling
There is only one more that I know I will be adding to this list and that is the book that I am currently listening to and enjoying.
Sorry guys to back out but I am going to make myself not enjoy reading and the stress I am putting on myself really isn’t worth it.

The pressure is one of the main reasons I haven’t done any readathons. I don’t mind challenges where you have no rules.

That makes sense xx Read the books you want to and make sure you’re enjoying yourself! And so many of the books you’ve already got through are so good!

I should have know better. My personality type is type A so I make lists and push myself to complete them. However this does not translate well into my reading life.

Reading is supposed to be fun, not pressure. I feel the same way with ARCs that I’m only kinda enjoying.
