Last month I participated in my third round of Trope-ical Readathon. In case you missed it, here are the books I picked for the various challenges. This is the best I’ve ever done for a Trope-ical Readathon. Even though it felt chaotic, I read 9 books this time around. I also switched out some books from my original plan as the month went on and my reading preferences changed. So here’s my Trope-ical Readathon update from March 2023.
I also completed one Team Challenge by reading THE PRINCESS DIARIST by Carrie Fisher. I still haven’t learned to tally up my reading page totals or points as I go along. So I don’t have those today. Next round I’ll try to do that so I can share those stats.
Here is the final table of completed challenges.

Did you participated in Trope-icale Readathon for this round? If so, what’s your Trope-cal Readathon update?
I’ve never done this readathon but it seems like fun, I mean who doesn’t love a good trope? Congrats on doing so well!
Thank you! You should totally try out this readathon. It’s very chill. And you don’t even have to pick out your books beforehand. You can assign them to a prompt once you’re finished.
[…] Olivie Blake: There’s a chance this has already been on a recent TBR. (Ah, yes, it was on my March TBR for Trope-ical Readathon.) Well, here it is again! I really need to make some progress with series I’ve started or […]
