Animal Crossing Readathon! TBR, & Days 1 & 2

Hello everyone! It is no secret that I have a bit of an obsession with the Animal Crossing games. I am so excited for New Horizons to come out in just 10 days! Hopefully on Friday I will have my Special Edition Animal Crossing New Horizons Nintendo Switch in my hands! I am so excited. I waited to get a switch specifically hoping that a special edition would come out along with a new Animal Crossing game!
Anyways, the point of this post is to talk about a readathon that is Animal Crossing themed! How cool is that? This readathon started March 9th and will continue through the 20th when the new game comes out!
There are 5 prompts based on characters from the game and a bonus prompt which is to read one of the Hosts choices.

I do not have a truly set TBR for this readathon, but I did have a few books/goals in mind for myself.

• Finish The Raven King 
• Finish Icing on the Lake
• Finish Blood for Blood
• Finish Truly Devious
• Read a book from my TBR or Trash list
• Read With the Fire on High
• Continue the Cassandra Clare books? 
• Read the Tea Dragon Society for the host choice book
• Get ahead on my Goodreads challenge before school and life hits HARD!

Day 1:

I woke up really not feeling great. I think part of it has been the time change that happened. I have been exhausted lately! Took the morning to finish The Raven King which I gave 5 out of 5 stars to! It was fantastic! I was originally thinking that maybe I would just start rereading the Raven Cycle series right away, but I had other plans already and didn't want to just be stuck on this world. I do feel like I need to reread this series though. There is just so much that happened and I think there are things I definitely missed the first read through, especially since I was listening to the audio books. Would love to get physical copies next time!

Instead of finishing books I already had started, I decided to pick up With the Fire on High in order to complete the Able Sisters challenge of reading a book with a strong family theme. This book is about a teen mom who is struggling to balance school, her child, and her goal to become a chef. She decides to take a culinary class at school that involves a trip to Spain and follows her struggles not only with school, but with relationships and what she wants to do in life.

Today we also got our new futon frame delivered and put that together. So glad to have a couch to sit on again! After we moved in February, it hasn't felt like much of a home here. I feel like we are finally starting to get life together!


Day 2:

Today I also woke up feeling exhausted, but this morning finished With the Fire on High and it was so GOOD! I give it 4/5 stars. Because I liked this book so much, I decided to start The Poet X which is also by the same author. So far, I'm about halfway through and am not enjoying it as much as With the Fire on High, but appreciate the own voices aspect as well as the writing style. I'm going to use this one for the KK Slider challenge of listening to an audio book.

I also read a bit more of Icing on the Lake. I'm about halfway through it as well. I started it in either December or January, and I just haven't gotten around to finish it. It is such a cute rom-com type story and the characters are really fun. I don't know which guy to root for in the love triangle going on, they both are so different.

I'm waiting for a bookshelf to come in and can't wait for my books to have a place to call home instead of being stacked on the floor! Will update tomorrow!
