OWLs read-a-thon challenge progress report
Hi everyone!
So a couple of weeks ago, I posted that I would be taking place in the Ordinary Wizarding Levels read-a-thon challenge for August (even though most people were doing their NEWTs), because I missed out in April!
I also said that I might post an update during the month to show you guys my progress, which is what this post is! So, here’s what I have accomplished so far this month:
Subject | Prompt | Book I thought I would read | Book I actually read |
| Ancient Runes | A book with a symbol on the cover | Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody | |
| Arithmancy | A book with a number on the cover or in the title | A Thousand Perfect Notes by CG Drews | A Thousand Perfect Notes by CG Drews |
| Astronomy | A science fiction novel | Warcross by Marie Lu | The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams |
| Care of Magical Creatures | A book that has magical creatures in it or on the cover | The Seafarer’s Kiss by Julia Ember | To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo |
| Charms | A fantasy book | The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett | |
| Defence Against the Dark Arts | A book about secret societies or clubs | The Rook by Daniel O’Malley | |
| Divination | A book featuring prophecies | Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend | The Crowns of Croswald by DE Night |
| Herbology | A book with a nature related word in the title | Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch | |
| History of Magic | A historical fiction | The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak | |
| Muggle Studies | A muggle non-fiction book | Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson | |
| Potions | A book about/with alchemy | The Price Guide to the Occult by Leslye Watson | The Price Guide to the Occult by Leslye Watson |
| Transfiguration | A book about transfiguration/shape-shifting or a book with a cat on the cover | Who’s Afraid by Maria Lewis | How (Not) to Kiss a Toad by Elizabeth A Reeves |
Now, while this is where I am currently at, I may move some of these around as they could fit several different categories. For instance, The Crowns of Croswald could actually fit:
- Care of Magical Creatures
- Charms
- Defence Against the Dark Arts
- Divination
- Potions
- Transfiguration
So, depending on what I read for the rest of the month, I might find something that fits a category better, and then move the ones I have read around to other spots.
But, suffice to say, I think I should hit most of the subjects that I wanted to, as having a challenge to tick books off against is actually making me want to read more! I should do this every month! Maybe I’ll put together a reading bingo for next month, who knows where this could go?!
How is your reading for the month going?
