Read at Midnight‘s reading challenges are always the best. I’m sure I won’t get through all of these but a few are novellas so I figure I’ll be adventurous for now. I’m going to start with the Mage path, then see where to go from there. I’ve also tried to work in a few titles from ARC August in there too. Thank you CW of Read, Think, Ponder for the beautiful artwork.

Ah, I really loved the dark prophecy! Hope you like it too. I really want to read something by Laini Taylor as well. If I get around to the banned book challenge, I’m definitely going to pick up a Wrinkle in Time as well, I just brought it. Illuminae is the best, and Hunted is one of my favorite retellings/books of the year so I hope you like it 🙂 Good luck!
Here’s my TBR!

Great TBR! I love how you went ahead and created a list for the whole challenge! So far, I’ve only nailed down my Mage path and a few side quests.

Mages unite! 😂 The funny thing is, I almost always play mages in video games whenever they’re an option, but I didn’t think about it like that until after I typed up my TBR. I just picked the Mage for this challenge because I’m reading so many fantasy/sci-fi lately! It all worked out. 😂
