Hey bookworm friends! This will be my second year taking part in the Magical Readathon and I’m excited to roam the halls of Orilium Academy once more. The prompts have been released, and this time we’re going to be rescuing dragons 🐲. The more pages we read collectively, the more dragons get saved (so calling all dragon lovers to join in on the fun📣)! Here is my TBR for Spring Equinox 2025—it looks a bit overwhelming but I did pick one of the hardest callings.
My previous Magical Readathon adventures can be found here.
The Magical Readathon is the brainchild of G from Book Roast on YouTube.

Let’s chat in the comments!
Are you participating in The Magical Readathon this year too? Or, what book are you most excited to read in April?
Love the selection! Don’t Let the Forest In is on my TBR and was my most anticipated book of 2024! Hope you have fun and enjoy your picks! I had never heard of this challenge, but it sounds like so much fun 🙂
Thanks, Lin! Oh nice, yes Don’t Let The Forest in sounds amazing and I’m excited to be reading it soon! Thanks and this challenge is fun, the creator of it puts so much work into it and it really shows! 🙂
I really wanted to try this one but I missed the announcements and now I feel like I’d be rushing to fit it in 😭 but saving dragons makes this sound even more epic than last year. I hope you have a great time.
I hope you enjoy your buddy read. That’s such good timing about the Kingfisher book. Let me know what it’s like. The cover of the second book is practically begging me to look it up 😂 I love your statement about Key Lime Sky too and hope you enjoy Emberclaw. I’m also very intrigued to hear how you find The Spice Gate.
Good luck and I hope you have a wonderful readathon.
Oh well that’s fair but maybe you can join in for the Autumn semester then! She makes it friendly so that new people can join in at any time. Or have you participated in previous years already? Thanks 🥰 I am excited for the dragon reveals! lol.
Thanks! And I’m not forgetting our buddy read either! 🙂 I will indeed let you know what I think of it and I’ve heard really great things about Shubeik Lubeik! hehe aw I couldn’t resist a silly pun 😜I will hopefully write reviews for these but i’ll let you know my thoughts either way thanks, friend!
Yes maybe, someone else suggested that. I’ll aim to do so but if not I’m definitely joining in next year. That’s lovely to hear. And no I haven’t, although I’ve seen it around. I was on the verge of making a TBR regardless tbh then I saw an intro and all the character work I was meant to do and decide to catch up before the next one instead 😂 and dragon reveals sound very intriguing.
I’m getting to this reply so late, I’m sorry for now far behind I got with all your comments on your page. I really hope the readathon went well and that you enjoyed any of the books that you got to ❤️❤️
Ah ahah okay well either of those definitely works 🙂 It can definitely appear daunting although the nice thing is that you can go as hard ..or not.. as you want with the character stuff. Which I appreciate.
That’s alright don’t worry, I’ve been behind on blog stuff as well lol.Thanks so much it did go well although I wouldn’t say I “passed” the semester 😬😅!
Yes that’s very true. Although I do want to take the time to understand it all properly which is why I didn’t opt to rush into it. I’ll have to start checking it out soon so I’m better prepared next time round 😂
It’s so hard keeping up at times. Especially once you’ve fallen behind. I’m glad it went well, although I’m sorry you didn’t pass. I hope you had fun at least 🥰🥰
That is a very good point and I can’t blame you at all for that, I also took the time to watch the videos and read the materials before starting. 🙂
Haha Thanks and it’s alright, sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t it all depends on how much reading I can get done that month and there’s always next time. I had a ton of fun as always and that’s key! 🙂
