I first joined in on the Biannual Bibliothon in the summer of 2016 and I’m very proud to say that I haven’t missed a round of it since. With that being said, I bring you my TBR for the Winter 2019 round.
Challenges I will be doing:
Challenge 1: Read the Group book- Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean
Challenge 2: Read one of the hosts’ 5-star reads- The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
*Challenge 3: Read a book that got you into reading- The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
Challenge 4: Read an adult genre- The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden
Challenge 5: Combine your favorite genre with your least favorite format or the opposite: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. For this challenge, I will be listening to the audiobook. Read this post if you want to know more about my relationship with audiobooks
Challenge 6: Read a book with a cover you don’t like- 99 Days by Katie Cotugno
Challenge 7: Read a book by an author you’ve never read before- Empress of All Seasons by Emiko Jean
I will be doubling up on challenges 2 and 5 and challenges 1 and 7.
*Regarding this challenge: Growing up I was always surrounded by books, and for me, there was never one book that got me into reading because I’ve always been a reader. So for this challenge, I went with a book that has significance to my journey as a reader as recommended by LittleRedReader. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is the first fantasy book that I remember reading.

Ooh, I finished Empress of All Seasons recently, and it wasn’t perfect, but I thought it was pretty good!
I also approve of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe! Have fun!
Thank you! That’s good to know about Empress of All Seasons, although I’m not the biggest fan of the alternating chapters. I flipped through the sample of it. I haven’t reread the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe in such a long time, and it’s the perfect season for it too.
Good luck with this readathon! I’ve heard good things about Empress of All Seasons, I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you, I’ve read a sample of it and I’m not a fan of how the chatpers are told from two different perspectives. Sometimes books like that can be really choppy and not have a great flow.
