Tome Topple Readathon Wrap Up

This ended up being a really great readathon for me. I got a lot more read than I initially thought I was going to be able to. I didn't get through all the books on my TBR but I hadn't expected to anyway so that was fine. I also didn't complete all of the challenges but I didn't set out to do that anyway so that also didn't bother me. 

The challenges: 
1. Read more than one tome (500+ pages) - completed
I did actually manage to accomplish this! I read two and a half of the three books that I had chosen and ended up reading a total of 1,233 pages. 

2. Take a graphic novel break - did not complete
This was the one challenge that I had decided to skip when making my TBR. 

3. Read a tome that is part of a series - completed 

4. Read over 500 pages in one week - completed 

5. Read an adult novel - did not complete 
I started the book for this challenge, but I didn't get to finish it. 


The books that I read: 
The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson 
This was the first book that I completed and it didn't count towards any of the challenges other than to read more than one tome. I loved it and gave it a 5/5 rating. I have already written a review for it just in case you are interested in my thoughts about the book. 







Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling 
I had actually already started this book as part of my re-read of the entire Harry Potter series for this year but I put it down for some unknown reason and just didn't get back to it. So this readathon was the perfect opportunity to pick it back up. I finished it and of course I loved it and gave it a 5/5 rating. 





The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
I started this book and was really liking it but I was really wanting to read something more fast paced so I was reading a few chapters of this at a time while reading other books. Unfortunately that meant I didn't get to finish this book but that didn't matter too much to me. I would rather take my time with it and enjoy it than to force myself to keep reading it when I'm not in the mood for it. I am super happy that this readathon gave me the incentive to at least start this book and I did manage to make it half way through! I do intend on slowly making my way through the rest of the book with the aim of finishing it by the end of the month. 


This readathon was super fun and I loved being a part of it. I hope it happens again because I would definitely participate again!
