So these last two weeks I participated in Tome Topple, and I really liked it!
But it didn’t really go as planned haha!
Just to recap this was my TBR:
- Words of radiance part 1 – Brandon Sanderson (653 pages)
- Dance of thieves – Mary E Pearson (508 pages)
- Tess of D’Urbervilles – Thomas Hardy (518 pages)
So as soon as the readathon started two of my library holds came in, and I was only allowed to have them for two weeks. So I had to read them during these two weeks, or return them without reading. Luckily one of them was over 500 pages!
What I read:
- Words of radiance part 1 – Brandon Sanderson (653 pages) – Gave this one 3 stars!
- Middlegame – Seanan McGuire (525 pages) – New favourite, 5 stars! (library book)
- Tess of D’Urbervilles – Thomas Hardy (518 pages, audio) – Bit boring, 3 stars!

I basically read all of these during the first week, and ‘had’ to read some other books during the second week. Like Darkdawn, since it was my other library book, and I could not return that without reading it! Also it was close to 500 pages?! (like 480 or something) And there was also an arc I really needed to read since I had to prepare my blog tour post for it!
Challenges:
- Read more than one tome
- Read the tome on your TBR the longest
- Read a tome part of a series
- Read a tome in a genre you don’t normally read
- Read an adult novel
Completed: 1, 2, 3, 5
Even though I didn’t spend the whole two weeks reading tomes, I still had a great time! And I did read some that I really had to get to!
Wow, you did awesome! Three tomes and 4/5 challenges is great. A lot more than I would have been able to do on a good month.
Haha yeah I’m very happy with it 🙂
You did an awesome job! It takes me forever to get through books over 500 pages.
Yeah it always takes longer, especially because progress looks so slowly!
Great job! I don’t think I could have read three tomes in a week! Even with audiobook! I’ll never know until I try! I’m so sad that I don’t find out about these readathons until they are over! I’m big on readathons!
I feel like that often as well, or find out when its halfway through or something..
I really like readathons as well!
