Here I was checking my regular fave bloggers and White Rose Stories posted about this readathon hosted by Lisa Marie, Daryan, and Kasie and I was like "2 days later but I have to take part in this." I love the concept, I love Taylor Swift and a readathon was just what I was needing to boost my creativity, on the blog, on my journal, and to motivate me to read.
First I decided to choose 13 songs I really wanted on my playlist, but prompts sometimes are messy and Miss Taylor Swift makes only good songs and I am a hell of a mood reader. So I then made a second decision, to present a tbr so I can say "look these are my fave songs from TS" and then a wrap-up post with the playlist that I actually end up creating.
First, let's check my 3 favourite albums to pick some songs from (the following templates are from the readathon Twitter)
1989
My fave: Reputation
Folklore
1- Blank Space: Read any book you want!
I want to fill this one with "Bunny" by Mona Awad but I actually can use this prompt for any book that doesn't fit any other category.
2- Style: Read a book set in the '80s
"Marina" by Carlos Ruíz Zafón, when I realized it was set in the 80's I was so relieved because I had been searching so much.
3- Wildest Dreams: Read a book that inspired a movie
I had quite a few options but "The Age Of Innocence" by Edith Warthon seemed perfect.
4- ... Ready For It? : Read a new release
I downloaded "A Deadly Education" by Naomi Novik
5- Don't Blame Me: Read a book you can't believe you haven't read yet
I mentioned this one so many times already but "La Chica Invisible" by Blue Jeans
6- Gorgeous: Read a book with a gorgeous cover
The Portuguese edition of "Giovanni's Room" by James Baldwin is just gorgeous!!!
7- Getaway Car: Read a book with a car on the cover
I suffered with this one, I even got another free trial on Scribd and I ended up picking up the graphic novel "The Avant-Guards" by Carly Usdin
8- King Of My Heart: Read a book about royalty
"The Selection" by Kiera Cass, is your time to shine!
9- Cardigan: Read a book that gives you fall vibes
I wanted to read "If We Were Villains" by M.L.Rio this Autumn so chosen one!
10- The Last Great American Dynasty: Read a historical fiction book
I found this short historical fiction book "Sweet Days Of Discipline" by Fleur Jaeggy and thought "why not?"
11- My Tears Ricochet: Read a sad book
Will finally read "I'll Give You The Sun" by Jandy Nelson?!
12- August: Read a book set during the summer
August needed to be on the list but I wasn't getting lucky with books set on summer, I didn't found the ones I wanted online so I got one I own "A Room With A View" by E.M Foster
13- Betty: Read a book featuring a love triangle
I decided to go for a re-read: "Honestly Ben" by Bill Konigsberg that I read last year and loved: seemed perfect.
Here's to a month full of good reads and magical Taylor Swift's songs 🍻
