[hollow acorn]

persevering ➳ You Exist Too Much
radiant ➳ DallerGut Dream Department Store
idyllic ➳ Free From Falling
earnest ➳ The Poetry of Oscar Wilde

my lineup for deserving I‘m still thinking of what to do that will make me feel better

[high merlin]

Looking into what to put down for all the prompts for the read-a-thon and the bingos! Can't wait.

[high merlin]

Pride-a-thon

• Persevering - Tea You at the Altar
• Radiant - The Stonewall Riots
• Idyllic - She gets the Girl
• Earnest - Charity and Sylvia
• Deserving - participating in World Pride where I live

[vernal plover]

Not sure about my Earnest prompt yet

I suspect my newspaper perhaps has a very good essay in there this week about pride month, would that count?

[inner trench]

yes!

[potent obsidian]

i had to postpone my massage for the deserved prompt i will get to the article and then tuck in for the night and read some more of lavash at first sight

[vernal plover]

A massage really is peak self-care

[potent obsidian]

RIGHT but i didn’t know i had to book and they didn’t have any spots open for me at a reasonable hour

might go tomorrow

[vernal plover]

I just sent an email to a skin clinic. I don’t think that would be happening anytime this week but finally being willing to throw money at my acne problem really is my selfcare moment

[potent obsidian]

i love that for you

[quiet cipher]

self care task of the day: going to buy new workout shoes!

[hollow acorn]

my deserving task was not bed/couchrotting this sunday: i visited a coworker, attended a convention, read half of my radiant book and then walked back home

it was really wonderful and i had so many nice experiences today

[potent obsidian]

that's so nice to hear i'm so glad you had a good time rin

[hollow acorn]

thank you!! i won quite a lot of nice stuff, got instant noodles for free and found some stuff i‘ve been searching for for ages
so many people talked to me as well and were all super nice

[potent obsidian]

i finished the nell stevens article and with that the earnest prompt i'll do one big update of the checklist

omg what instant noodles?

[hollow acorn]

they‘re by a local brand called maggie

[inner trench]

love u guys

[hollow acorn]

updated tasklist

[potent obsidian]

i love the different shades of yellow we have going on rn

[vernal plover]

https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/07/20/het-dilemma-van-pride-protest-of-viering-a4860258

Read this article for ‘earnest’

“The dilemma of Pride: protest or celebration?”

Last year in Amsterdam this debate even led to two different pride weeks

[next gyro]

lavash at first sight for idyllic

[faint gust]

finished my first book- malibu rising

there's also a gay awakening moment in the book, which I didnt see coming, but it was a great one

[lusty moon]

I'm goimg to just use danmai to fill my readathon haha

[vernal plover]

You're on to me

[lusty moon]

Hehehe. I'm going to finish my cowboy romance and then I'm reading The Disabled Tyrants Beloved Pet Fish volume 4

[vernal plover]

The way these titles always crack me up

[lusty moon]

I assume the sound better in Chinese haha

[vernal plover]

that would make sense

[small bloom]

Reading this one. I think this will fit preserving

[elfin barn]

I've been busy

I have an idea of what I want to read for the radiant prompt but it's a new release tomorrow. Hopefully I can pick up a copy but if not then I think #1378017195040178237 might be a good backup

also Orion & The Cloudkillers had trans rep for the

[hollow acorn]

Finished DallerGut Dream Department Store for radiant 🌈
this book was made for this prompt

[potent obsidian]

did you like it? i see it a lot in bookstores but i‘m always hesitant about picking it up for some reason

[hollow acorn]

hmm my thought on this are a bit complicated
I wouldn‘t really recommend it (no spoilers given) ||I‘ve been struggling with these kind of 'Feel Good' books really but at least this one didn‘t feel too overexaggerated in forcing a certain feeling 'down your throat' but I just don‘t think it worked as a story; if it had been unrelated short stories with an overarching theme orrrr just focused on fewer people, then I think this could have been great!||

It this weird mix of short stories but they all are too close and/or similar to each other for me

[high merlin]

I would agree with this. I enjoyed it overall, but think your point is solid.

[elfin barn]

• Waist Deep by Linea Maja Ernst
• Mountain Upside Down by Sara Ryan
• The Betrayal of Thomas True by A.J. West
• Orion and the Cloudkillers by Harri D. Gordon
• Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa

[quiet cipher]

also going to revisit some Walt Whitman poetry later as he's one of my favorite poets

[hollow acorn]

Read a Collection of Poems by Oscar Wilde in the bathtub for earnest; tho I didn‘t really enjoy them, here is part of Her Voice which spoke to me

And there is nothing left to do
But to kiss once again, and part,
Nay, there is nothing we should rue,
I have my beauty, - you your Art,
Nay, do not start,
One world was not enough for two
Like me and you.

[inner trench]

you guys r doing so well

Heaven Official’s Blessing was sooo cute ❤️ I loved how the dongua was so similar to the novel. I like getting giddy with excitement when I know my favorite scenes will come up in the book im reading

[faint gust]

Fuck, Blood and Ice is neither colourful nor light-hearted

[dreamy swift]

just read vol 1 of heartstopper lol

i have a copy and i wanna read it but i have a stacked tbr

[vernal plover]

Hmm I did read 4 volumes of this graphic novel too this week, that could work

I forgot, what were the rules about adult reads on the bingo card? Not show the cover or not show the title? Or title + cover is okay as long as its not an adult cover?

[faint gust]

my finished prideathon card

[elfin barn]

yes I think it's okay as long as it's not obviously adult and you're not fully discussing the book outside of adult channels

[dreamy swift]

For the deserving prompt, I skipped class today cos I was lowkey tired and it's raining and cold which is the perfect weather to stay in and read. I got some thai milk tea, apples w honey and donuts, lit a candle, put on some nice music and started a new book
For the earnest, I read multiple cos i love articles yall. also a poem by Emily dickinson my love, which is speculated that it was written for her sister in law whom she was in love with gayyy

Actually, just realized I have most of them already. Maybe I can squeak out a complete card if I can bang through them.

[quiet cipher]

I am going to try to finish https://discord.com/channels/811077227449286667/1374686306189443142 in honor of the last day of the pride-a-thon

You were spot on with your recommendation

Chaotic human fbi agent navigating a hellish murder investigation in a paranormal setting = perfection

[distant dew]

i finished my first and probably only book of the readathon lmao

[blissful spade]

For most mortals, reading a whole book in a weekend is a huuuuge feat. You did a thing!

https://tenor.com/view/cherryfurby-whos-awesome-youre-awesome-glitter-puppy-dog-gif-3998145459110226674

Really, reading as part of your weekend instead of scrolling etc., is kind of amazing in this time.

[distant dew]

thanks

[faint gust]

aw i dont think i can finish another book in 2hours, but glad to finish some for the BRs

[high merlin]

Finished a novella. We'll see what the rest of the day brings.

[distant dew]

i have almost 7 hours left so we’ll see if i finish another book, probably not hehe

but i’m going my to start 1984 for sure

[inner trench]

another book finished! my last one for this readathon :)

[distant dew]

i'm reading 1984 rn and i'm liking me re-read a lot so far ^^

[silent latch]

Finished Vanishing World. Going to start another book, but I probably won’t finish today

[ivory swan]

Woohoo finally finished Open Water that took way longer than expected lolol

[elfin barn]

my reads so far this weekend I might be able to sneak another in but I'm pretty happy with this considering I was busy all of friday and saturday

[high merlin]

Another book finished!

[viral cave]

i finished 'I kissed Shara Wheeler' by Casey McQuiston (p. 351)

[high merlin]

One additional book for the day.
There's more time, but D&D calls, so won't be able to finish anything else.

[void cedar]

ok I’m making good progress considering I’ve only been able to really read ⅓ days of the weekend

I feel like a lot of my books are close to being finished so this is like a tying up and fresh start going into the week type beat

[void cedar]

just a little after 9pm jnix time

[vernal plover]

I finished a Ferry of Bone and Gold last night!

[orchid cliff]

Finishing up an audiobook (Rouge Community College by David R. Slayton), one more hour to go!

[void cedar]

I don’t think I’ll finish my last book I’m too sleepy

[small bloom]

Finished A Curse Carved in Bone and progress with #1381550348770082948

[orchid cliff]

finished! the only book I finished this weekend but nice to finally finish something

[plain sonnet]

How'd you like it? I found it adorable!

[inner trench]

@inner trench
my read-a-thon results

[elfin barn]

I have The Fireborne Blade scheduled for later this year but at your rating for the second book

[inner trench]

i fear it was ass

but i lurved the first one : )

i actually loved the beginning of the second one but uh.. that didn't last for long

[elfin barn]

now I'm scared

[vernal plover]

oh damn thats such a steep decline

the cover looks amazing

[inner trench]

it was unfortunate, i wanted my gays to gay more

instead i got a badly written plot

[blissful spade]

Weekend-a-thon results: Although I didn't finish The Stranger (dragging through it), I got a few more pages read. I read a lot more of Moonsilver than expected to, so hooray! All in all, a fun little push to read in bits of time throughout a busy weekend. ✨

[potent obsidian]

I hope to see you in the next readathon lorelai!

[quartz rover]

I finished all of these yesterday but have been doing a digital detox and couldn’t update much here

Buuut, I surprised myself by how much reading I can get done in a day sans distractions

[quiet cipher]

I finished the last half of one book and the first half of another haha so I net one book during the Readathon

[viral cave]

it was really cute but the whole shara thing was kinda swept under the rug? i think? like, i couldn't connect with chloe's thoughts at all but i loved that she was such a badass

[lusty moon]

Finished my Pride Read a Thon!

Prince of the Arena was good. It’s a prequel Novella to the Beasts of the Briar series that I’ve been following for a few years. It was nice seeing some of the background story for 2 of the MMC

If We Were Perfect was my colourful choice because while it did focus on a hetero couple we had a background queer couple. It also felt better to add than Animal Farm

The disabled tyrant, beloved pet fish volume four snack the spot for a lighthearted queer novel. I absolutely love the ending of this danmei and it’s so funny. I’m sad to see the characters go but literally everything that I wanted to happen in this book happen and it’s so silly. It’s very refreshing after grandmaster of demonic cultivation and have an official blessing. Different author though.

I borrowed she is the poem from my friend who recommended it. It wasn’t my favourite bit of poetry and I didn’t get the same message out of it that she did. But it was beautifully written, it just felt more like wishes on a dandelion, fluff, and poems to me. I’m also just not a poem girly though so that didn’t help.

Also, for my self-care task, I got my nails done. They’re very cute and they say choose happy. And one of my thumb says love.

[potent obsidian]

omg yay, looks great! the pride-a-thon is over now though, thank you for doing it still

[lusty moon]

Oh no! My bad 😅

[void cedar]

That’s still really cool! Thank you for participating

[elder kelp]

Can you read in Roblox? 👀

[potent obsidian]

they really should make a game for that but unfortunately not

I will play roblox for a teeny bit and then read before bed

[elder kelp]

Make it yourself, be the change you want to see in the digital world-

[potent obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-work-in-progress-progress-gif-6698056592000242882

me programming a game in roblox

[elder kelp]

Making a video game that encourages adults to read would be interesting, there's lots of stuff like that for toddlers who are LEARNING how to read, but like a video game where there's game play between every chapter, where you have to pay attention to what happened in the chapter you just read because specifically what the character did is the only way to beat the level or something

[potent obsidian]

woah that's really cool

[elder kelp]

I be coming up with half baked million dollar ideas on such random Thursday afternoons frfr 😂

I think I basically just described if a visual novel had actual gameplay

[potent obsidian]

LMFAO

THATS SO FUNNY

THAT MEME

[elder kelp]

I've been waiting for the chance to send it somewhere loll

[potent obsidian]

i'm very glad you got that chance here

[clever cobalt]

@potent obsidian I'd like to join the sundae activity!

[hexed basin]

My tbr: six of crows, crooked kingdom, a space odyssey

But currently reading wuthering heights

[dreamy valve]

TBR:

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

Wish by Peter Goldsworthy (Started before Readathon)

The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae by Stephanie Butland

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

Let's try and actually get reading this time 😅 buying an apartment has been stressful

[clever cobalt]

TBR in which we're being optimistic:

• The Waves by Virginia Woolf
• A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
• The Office of Historical Corrections by Danielle Evans
• The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
• Pilgrim: A Medieval Horror by Mitchell Luthi
• Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

Fingers crossed something in there is twist worthy because frankly I don't have any idea

[small bloom]

@potent obsidian Add me as well 🍦

TBR:

• The Women by Kristin Hannah
• Bat Eater and other Names for Cora Zeng
• Caught Up by Navessa Allen
• The Burning God by RF Kuang
• This Book will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead

[hoary flower]

idk what books are going to fit for these prompts lol. im going to start swift and saddled tonight, im assuming it will make me happy, but im looking at my tbr and i have no idea what else might work. im guessing the devils wont be cold/cool tho lmao

[high merlin]

I wonder if something with cool/cold vibes in the title would also work for the prompt?

[hoary flower]

oh wait! im going to read hogfather! that's wintery! woo!

[potent obsidian]

finished my first book for the readathon! lost and lassoed by lyla sage

lost and lassoed by lyla sage
◟ cool for the summer

my feelings for this book is cold, I disliked it and the book itself felt cold too because I just wasn't emotionally invested in any of the characters unfortunately

[steady delta]

@potent obsidian Can I make a sundae

[potent obsidian]

of course cutie

[steady delta]

Me waiting 40 minutes so that it is the 4th to stick to the spirit of the readathon in order to make my sundae order and start my book

[potent obsidian]

omg

I love that flork

[high merlin]

I have 5.5 hours if I want to start at midnight. 😭
Working on other book reads until then.

[icy lily]

@potent obsidian add me, please! 😁

[elfin barn]

and me

[viscid iris]

@potent obsidian add me as well, please

[raven nacelle]

@potent obsidian And mee?

[raven nacelle]

My ideas for a tbr:
A cold book : #1386744991354716271 because parts of it are probably set in space. Space is very cold.
Stay with me : a book from my physical tbr which I will keep on my shelf. So this way it will stay with me.
Bubblegum : #1380793950847238225 which I already started. I do not know if it will make me happy all the time but the parts I read so far were cute!
Surprise twist : Book 1 of #delicious-in-dungeon .. I dont know much about it but the premise sounds like the characters do pretty surprising things in a dungeon!

[vernal plover]

Yes its friday for me! I won;t be doing any reading today Im afraid, but I have a lot of time on saturday and sunday!

[hexed basin]

[hoary flower]

Added TTIGDaSaH - I’m so tired of typing all that out lol. Surprise twist! And at the beginning, no less.

[faint gust]

i also started that in june, but i managed to finish 22 other books aside from that

[high merlin]

I'm liking it so far, I've just put priority on a few others (partially since I own a copy and don't have the time pressure of a library checkout).
Awesome job on all the books read!

[ivory swan]

Starting dis card

[bold wagon]

Here's my cold drink of the day. It's an iced coffee with oatmeal milk cold foam.

[potent obsidian]

that looks delicious oh my

[bold wagon]

It was. I used Hazelnut, Raspberry, and Blueberry syrups to sweeten and it was a great summer drink.

[small bloom]

\

[clever cobalt]

THIS LOOKS BOMBBB

[hoary flower]

I started my chilly book last night!

[hoary flower]

My cool beverage. Seltzer all day every day

[potent obsidian]

omg slay-tzer

[raven nacelle]

"monster taste good, actually!" is one of the weirdest ideas I have ever seen in a book :D

[potent obsidian]

HAHAHA

[raven nacelle]

and it has become a little too cold for cool drinks here. Damn! I will visit a street festival tomorrow, maybe they have some nice cocktails or something :)

[potent obsidian]

cool foods count too if you're struggling pauline! have fun at the street festival

[raven nacelle]

I am usually a "lukewarm tap water" person :D

Thank youu! I will read a book for the last prompt now, "Galatea" by Madeline Miller. My edition has beautiful illustrations, I might post some pictures later because it is stunning.

[potent obsidian]

ooo yes please! I'd love to see that

[raven nacelle]

They are so cool

[potent obsidian]

oh my god

stunning

so beautiful

[raven nacelle]

I am in love with that last picture

[clever cobalt]

oh my gosh!!!

That looks amazing

[raven nacelle]

The illustrator is Thomke Meyer. Seems to be a thing for the German edition?

[wicked crane]

I read this! I'd love to know what you think about it when you're done!

[obtuse lantern]

don’t get much crispier than this

[raven nacelle]

with this I am finished with the book prompts!

[raven nacelle]

I really enjoyed it! I didnt know much about the Pygmalion myth before and man, that is a weeeeird myth to begin with 🙈 I like what Miller did with it, I only hoped it was longer.

[orchid cliff]

It's been awhile since I read Galatea but those pictures feel like it goes with the vibe. I also felt the same pauline!

[vernal mulch]

I think someone else did this as well, but Penpal for a bit that I think will stay with me for a long time (Frozen Tongues)

[steady delta]

OMFG I DID IT
(also I loved We Used To Live Here and it will be sticking with me for quite some time)

[potent obsidian]

OMG YAY VAUDE

[elfin barn]

yay I'm slowly getting there

also Girls Like Her was a pretty dark read so I might do the bubblegum prompt next as a palate cleanser

[faint gust]

i dont think i could finish the checklist (nor my tbr) but i'm gonna try to cram as much manga then reread some of my favorite books

i feel a slump coming through so imma take it slow

[potent obsidian]

i hope the slump doesnt settle in scarlett, im sorry

[raven nacelle]

Alcohol free bellini at an open air festival!

[potent obsidian]

omg that looks goooooood pauline!

[dreamy valve]

So, I might not get my books all done :c

The contracts for my new place have been exchanged and the bf and I are set to move in Friday! Means I've been super busy this week (also work and hella birthdays)

Why does everything have to get busy for the one readathon I'm super excited and organised for? Haha

[potent obsidian]

awww I'm so sorry! but hey, new place! congrats

[faint gust]

i finished another bookkk

its Dial A for Aunties, which is written by a Chinese-Indonesian author who is living now somewhere in the US (i think)

it has been on my tbr for sooooo long, so im really glad i got to pick it up now. i think it resonates a lot with me because of its cultural heritage, although i do think its heavily chaotic at times (my family is too)

[vernal mulch]

I'm gonna try to finish out the readathon, but my job really chose this week to make me work as much as possible

[next gyro]

see you yesterday for bubblegum

and i think that might be all im able to read for this readathon, its been a hectic week

[potent obsidian]

aaa omg obsessed with the way the cover matches the template!

[potent obsidian]

hope you have a chill weekend

[next gyro]

yeah no i dont think thats gonna happen, but thanks anyways

[potent obsidian]

i've read 2 more books since this! #1385795768467718286 and #1378275619707813940

[hexed basin]

to the 11th means I can also finish on the eleventh right?

[ivory swan]

Not sure if I’ll be able finish the card but here’s an update!

Sharing food I ate for July 4th!! Lots of bbq hehe

[potent obsidian]

yes

[potent obsidian]

i’m currently reading tokyo ueno station and this might be my last readathon read!

was pretty productive during this one, i’m glad

[deep sedge]

Completed this on such a speed run honeslty. I am not sure whether to count kari as suprise twist bcz I was just suprised thay nothing happened at all in the end.

[potent obsidian]

i can’t remember, i know i made your ice cream but did you finish the checklist? /genq

[deep sedge]

I have to send a photo of the food/drink yet just read them all today actually

The only picture I have that falls between the readathon. It was as disgusting as it looked though

[potent obsidian]

oh was it cold?

[deep sedge]

No it was sweet?? Why was it sweet and it had too much cocunut flavour.

Done!!

[potent obsidian]

oh the checklist says something cold unfortunately

[hoary flower]

I don’t think I’m going to get to finish this one. I had too many books hanging out from June this early in the month

[potent obsidian]

awwh i’m sorry!!

[deep sedge]

My great reading skills found this snap atleast

[potent obsidian]

ooh yum!!

is that cornetto?

[deep sedge]

Yesss oreo flavoured the only one I always buy

[hoary flower]

It’s all good!! I’m still having fun! My cold pick was Hogfather by Pratchett, I’m just not going to finish it in time

[potent obsidian]

omg awesome!! i love cornetto

[faint gust]

I CAN USE 1 BOOK STARTED BEFORE READATHON

OMG I CAN DO THIS IM GONNA SPEEDRUN SAILOR MOON VOL 2 LOLLLL

[potent obsidian]

[high merlin]

I'm hoping to read one more book before the readathon ends in my time zone. Just need it to be the end of the work day.

[faint gust]

finished with Sailor Moon Vol. 2 for Neopolitan! i also finished all the checklist

as a never read/never watch sailor moon girlie, i think the plot is so quirky and gave me lots of whiplash

spoiler for vol. 2 ||i mean... i kinda expected who would be Princess Serenity. but then they introduced Sailor V's with the Moon Kingdom symbol, so I thought 'oh maybe not'. then apparently it was all decoy. so much twist, that i found HUH?||

[high merlin]

I love that you're getting into Sailor Moon and enjoying it! 😊

[faint gust]

i keep wanting to read them because they were the icon, but i have never got the chance. but now that we have an event going...

[high merlin]

Sailor Moon was my first anime a very long time ago.
Definitely makes sense to dive in with an event!

[orchid cliff]

Okay, I finally got a cold drink! Strawberry smoothie with purple rice

[potent obsidian]

THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS

[wicked crane]

It's the last day of the readathon for me! I haven't been in a readathon mood all week but finally I'm ready to do a lot of reading let's see how much I can read in 11 hours LMAO

[high merlin]

Go spicy!

[elfin barn]

going to treat myself with a cold pepsi max after a long day

[hollow acorn]

oh that one is THICC enjoy!!

[hollow acorn]

how was coffeeshop in an alternate universe? i saw it at the bookstore today and almost picked it up

[hexed basin]

Done!

I made it with one hour spare

[silent latch]

Sorry I didn't update as I went. I kind of forgot about this

• The Sword of Kaigen for a cold book
• A Hundred Thousand Kingdoms for a book with a twist
• The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane for a book that made me happy
• A Mercy for a book that will stay with me

Idk what the build your own sundae event was, I probably already missed it. But this was a really cute event!

[wicked crane]

I read only 50 pages

I will likely do a lil personal readathon this weekend so I can catch up on my reads 🫡 thank you Jana for hosting this

Planning to binge reading Taiyo Mastumoto books and my current books for the summer bingo. I get some chunky books suit for the readathon

[potent obsidian]

[high merlin]

For the book to count during this for the read off, do we need to start and finish it in that time period?

[potent obsidian]

yes!

[high merlin]

I thought so but just wanted to make sure. Need to finish a few books before Saturday then to start with a clean slate. 😊

[hexed basin]

tbr: six of crows, crooked kingdom, rule of wolves, throne of thorns

Im excited

[faint glen]

whoops, i keep forgetting these readathons are usually for books you start and finish in designated time period, i'm too slow a reader for that sadly 😅

[wicked crane]

Same! I'm so glad this week's readathon isn't like that super chill and easy this time

But in the restrictive readathons sometimes I just ignore all prompts anyway so I can still read alongside others HAHA

[faint glen]

this readathon is a free-for-all read, yeah?

[wicked crane]

Yes! It's in the announcement! (In the pins)

[ivory swan]

[faint gust]

i finished volume 2 of delicious in dungeon

its already july 26 in my timezone so i wonder if i can start jjk

[potent obsidian]

if you're talking about this buddy read https://discord.com/channels/811077227449286667/1396526689999392840 you should be able to as it's already started, the leader's a bit late in doing the beginning announcement

[faint gust]

oh yay! i think the timezone also affects the timing of announcement, like iirc botm follows the server's timezone?

[potent obsidian]

not sure about botms but br start dates and times are the ones you see here #1396526689999392840 message and it's the same ‘time’ for everyone just in your own timezones

and anyway we generally recommend the beginning announcement to be sent out within 24 hours of the start date if this makes sense?

[faint gust]

oooohhh i see, thank you jana!

im gonna do a little bit more of delicious in dungeon until i get the craving. when it hits im gonna switch to quell it down

jujutsu kaisen would kill my craving so fast

[hexed basin]

I finished six of crows

for the 3rd time

[faint gust]

finished vol 3 of delicious in dungeon! im gonna continue a little bit of legendborn now

[quartz rover]

I’m almost through #1372199578308317256 so thought I’d take a break and start the botm instead (needed something light and botm works so well)

[faint glen]
