Dessertathon is a full month June readathon taking place June 2022 and hosted by Jane @ The Bookaholic on YouTube.
There’s quite a lot of details for this readathon — teams, ingredients, and recipes — so check out the Announcement Video here.
I’m joining Team Red Velvet Royals, meaning we’ll be specifically focused (extra points) on reading retellings and mythology. Instead of picking from the twenty ingredients prompts at random, I’m choosing one of the six recipes and reading the related prompts. If I have time (or my mood reading lines up) I’ll see if I grab any extra ingredients along the way.
To make Strawberry Shortcake, I’ll need flour, eggs, sugar, whipped cream and strawberries.
Flour – Back to Basics – Favourite genre.
Of Metal and Wishes (Of Metal and Wishes, #1) by Sarah Fine
Eggs – In a Dozen! – Part of a series.
The Eyre Affair (Thursday Next, #1) by Jasper Fforde
Sugar – Sweet – Feel-good book.
The Civil War of Amos Abernathy by Michael Leali
Whipped Cream – Whip it Up! – Outside your usual genre.

I was tempted By the cozy team too, this this month I just happened to have my eye already on some TBR books that fitted the royals 😊

Oh, this sounds so cute! I’ll have to give it a look—since the Pondathon II ended early, I have some (possible) space in my readathons now. I love the idea of gathering ingredients for a recipe!

Yeah, I really liked the way you can tweak it to whatever difficulty you think works for you

It also looks really complicated though, now that I’ve looked at it more. Still… maybe I’ll be up to it next month!
