Reindeer Readathon TBR

Yes here is another TBR for the month of December. Luckily for me it is a month long. You might notice two of the books already because I am reading them in another readathon. Doubling up where I can. Unfortunately you can't double up on prompts for this readathon. That is ok because it is a month long and you only have to read nine books. I average about 13-15 books a month. I will also link the announcement down below. 
Basically you have nine prompts named after each of Santa's Reindeer. You read one book per prompt. You register which will be in the announcement and then you are put into one of four teams. I am on team Mistletoe. Each prompt is worth points that you can earn for your team. Now for the prompts.
Dasher -15 points: A fast read (book under 250 pages) I will be reading In An Absent Dream By: Seanan McGuire
Dancer -20 points: A book that has a main them of music or dance. I will be reading Let It Snow By: John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle
Prancer - 25 points: A book that has moved around on your shelf but you still haven't read yet. I will be reading Penny Pinchin' Mama By: Jill Cooper. Side note all of these books would count.
Vixen - 20 points: A book with a strong female character I will be reading Sting By: Sandra Brown
Comet - 20 points: A book that you think will have an impact on you (an alternative option is a sci-fi read) I will be reading Skyward By: Brandon Sanderson.
Cupid - 15 points: A book that has romance as its main theme. I choose On the Fence By: Kasie West
Donner - 15 points: A book that you think has a beautiful cover. That book is 10 Blind Dates By: Ashley Elston
Blitzen - 5 points: Read a graphic novel. I will be reading Heart Stopper Volume 1 By: Alice Oseman
Rudolph - 20 points: Read a book with a red cover. I will be reading Vicious By: V E Schwab
Bonus - 15 extra points: Christmas Star: Read a book over 500 pages. I will be reading the book from the Comet prompt because that one is 510 pages and that book is Skyward By: Brandon Sanderson.

This readathon sounds like fun and I can't wait to read these books that have been on shelves for a while. 
Here is the video announcing the readathon.

Let me know if you are doing this readathon and what team you end up on. Let's have fun with this.
Until next time keep reading.

The Bookie Trials: Winter Quest TBR

 I know it has been a long while since I have written a post but I am back and with my first of many readathon TBR's. This readathon is called The Bookie Trials: Winter Quest and it takes place from December 2nd through December 9th. I will add the announcement down below because Rachel explains it better than I will. I will only be reading two books for this readathon but they cover all the prompts. Rachel says the less the better. I was hoping to find a book that would cover all the prompts but I couldn't. There are eleven trials you have to go through to save your daemon. My daemon is down below and I will declare him shortly. So onto the trial prompts which I will be brief .
The Queen's Armanda: Buddy read a book and that is Vicious By: VE Schwab
Orc Eaves: LGBTQIAP+ book and again that is Vicious
The Beacon of Hope: A Warm Drink while reading both books can work for this
Serpentine Allegiance: Recommended book by a booktuber or blogger and again that will be Vicious
Rural Haven: Author I 5 stared before and that will be Sting By: Sandra Brown
Eastern Escape: Read a book by a marginalized author and again both books will work
Graves End: Contains death/theme of death and again both books work
Glacial Pass: White book and I will read Sting
Desolate Ruins: Free, Own, or Library and both books will work
Daemonic Residue: book with one or more animals or magical beasts and Vicious will be my book
The Dark Shard: morally gray character or villainous main character and again Vicious will be my book. I am hoping I will be able to get these books read in the seven days. I haven't been doing great on my TBR's or readathons so here is hoping. Oh just to let you I am a Scribe in the trials.
Now for my daemon. Isn't he cute but he has been kidnapped in the trials so I need to rescue and the books above should help me recover him. His name is Zeke and he is a Malauhaua. I am hoping to rescue him and bringing him home.
here is the YouTube video about this readathon

Let me know what you are reading if you are joining on this quest. What is your daemon.
Until next time keep reading.
