For the announcement and sign-up post for the Hamilthon Readathon — where you can find out all the details about how it works and the full list of prompts — click here.
I’ve not decided which of the five paths I’m going to take yet, so I’ve picked something out for each prompt anyway. I think I’m going to go for Alexander and possibly Jefferson though.
Are you taking part in this readathon?
Have you decided what you’ll be reading for it?
Have you read any of my choices? What did you think of them?

Sounds fun! I’m playing along with you, but I didn’t come up with possible lists for all of the chains! LOL. I’m currently reading Wyrd Sisters, and really enjoy it, so I hope you like it to (though I’m not sure if it’s new or a re-read for you). Your choices all sound a lot more do-able in a month than the Ron Chernow Hamilton biography I’ve decided to use as my first link in the chain… However, since I am not a monogamous reader, I might finish the rest of the chain and just have the first link left unfinished. We’ll see.

Wyrd Sisters and Mort will both be reread for me, so they should be pretty relaxing, quick reads to balance out the more deadliney ones. The Chernow book is a really brave challenge but I’m really looking forward to seeing how you get on with it. Even if it takes longer than the month, it’ll be an achievement!

They are fun quick reads, especially as re-reads. I hope you enjoy them all over again! I know what you mean about needing relaxing reads to balance the more challenging ones. I picked a lot of my March list to balance out the Chernow. 🙂

Love these options! I think my favorite paths you’ve picked books for are Jefferson and Angelica. I really loved Winter of the Witch, hope you get a chance to check it out soon!

I’m so excited about Winter of the Winter. I loved the first two books and I’m anxious to see how it finishes.

I kind of posted a TBR but I already know I’m going to be reading completely different books 😀 Good luck for these! I really want to know what you think of Wicked Saints.

I wrote this last night and I’m already tweaking it in my head XD

I think this challenge is kind of difficult to plan for anyway because there are several paths and they also cross over 😀

Good luck! I’ve planned mine and ended up at Alexander Hamilton. I tried to be strategic by using books I’ve already got lined up (and a couple of shorter ones) but I’ll see how I go!

I completely approve of readathon strategy! I’ve double up with other groups and arc commitments too.
