August 2024 TBR: Trope-ical Readathon

Happy August! Instead of my regular TBR format, such as that of July, this time Trope-ical Readathon is my guide. You can learn more about Trope-ical Readathon and sign up here. So for my August 2024 TBR I plan to focus on these books below. Of course, I highly doubt I’ll read all of these. In a good month I read 10 or more books. But I can just hope for the best with my August 2024 TBR! Finally, once again I decided to join Team Fantasy.

All Trope-icale Readathon March 2024 rules and information are here. You can register through March 10 at 11:59 pm (US Central Time).

Trope-ical Readathon August 2023

This second round of Trope-ical Readathon snuck up on me and I almost forgot to register and make reading “plans.” Nevertheless, I made it. For those unaware of Trope-ical Readathon, you can find all of the details here. In summary, Trope-ical Readathon August 2023 includes 13 “Common Challenges” whose prompts contain common tropes (or their alternatives); 2 team-specific challenges; and 1 team book challenge (out of 2 choices). There are 6 teams and completion of a challenge earns your team points. You can sign up to participate through August 6.

In March I signed up with Team Nonfiction/Poetry. But I decided to switch back to Team Fantasy for this round. Looking at the prompts and challenges it appears as though several books I read in July would have done nicely for the readathon. Oh well!

Trope-ical Readathon Update

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.
