N.E.W.T.s Magical Readathon

I have never participated in OWLs or NEWTs, but I wanted to give it a whirl this year. NEWTs is going to take place August 1-31. The creator, Book Roast, created this incredible readathon, and there is no way I am not participating every year from here on out. It is inspired by Harry Potter, but you do not need to read the books/watch the movies to participate! This readathon will also give me a reason to read some of the ARCs I have on Netgalley.

Link to the NEWTs video! Link to the explanation of the readathon. She has all of the extra links in the description of her video to the career guidebook and the prompts. There is also a forbidden book that the participants can group read.

This is going to be a very, very rough draft of what I’ll be reading for each prompt. I will have multiple options for each one. Things can always change, but these are all book I really want to read!

Healer

Confidence – Problem Solving – Toughness

As a healer I have to receive an E in all of the required classes. That means I have to read two books for each one. There is Herbology, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and Transfiguration.

– Herbology –

A: Mandrake! Quick put your headphones on! Listen to an audiobook (if not – green cover.)

E: Read a book between 350-390 pages

  • Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware – 384 pages *Digital ARC from Netgalley / Gallery, Pocket Books*
  • Trophy Life by Lea Geller – 364 pages
  • One Night Gone by Tara Laskowski – 352 pages *Digital ARC from Netgalley / Harlequin – Graydon House Books*

– Charms –

A: Read a book you think has a gorgeous cover

E: Read a coming/graphic novel/manga (or book under 150 pages)

– Defense Against the Dark Arts – 

A: A book that is black under the dust jacket

E: Gilderoy’s memory charm – Grab a pen! First book you just remembered from your TBR

– Potions –

A: Pollyjuice Potion: Read your friend’s favorite book! 

E: House ingredient: Book with a cover in your Hogwarts house color

– Transfiguration –

A: Read a book with LGBTQA+ Rep

E: Read a book that’s not first in a series

I have read 10 books in a month before, and there is absolutely no reason I can’t do it again. I do have a few back-up careers planned,  but I am going to work really hard to get this one. If you want to stay updated with what I am reading, then follow me on all of my social media which will be linked below!
