Hey bookworm friends. Another semester at Orilium Academy is about to start and I’m getting ready to participate again! I may have a lot of buddy reads or group reads this month but I’m sure I can make time for a reading challenge in September. I will certainly take advantage of IRL school starting up again and use my time to read a lot. At least that’s the hope🤞🏼and I only have to read 5 books for my autumn semester! Here is my Autumn Equinox TBR along with my wishes for a very happy Magical Readathon if you participate as well! 🖤
My previous Magical Readathon adventures can be found here.
The Magical Readathon is the brainchild of G from Book Roast on YouTube.

I’m behind on my ARC of this cozy fantasy so it seems like a great chance to finally get to it!
Let’s chat in the comments!
Are you participating in The Magical Readathon this year too? Or, what are you currently reading?
I’m doing this too! I haven’t read any of these but How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days looks fun. Good luck with your reading. Here’s my tbr: https://never-anyone-else.blogspot.com/2026/08/magical-readathon-orilium-autumn.html
Oh yay!! Happy Magical Readathon!! I’m looking forward to How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days. Not gonna lie I mostly picked easy to read or short ones because I know I’ll also be reading other stuff that’s not for the readathon 😂. Thank you for leaving me your link 🥰😄
All the Horses of Iceland was really good!
Ah, thank you for letting me know 🙂 I just borrowed it from the library so I’m excited!
I have read How to Lose a Goblin and it was pretty good. I’m laughing at the cover of Heart and Brain!
Glad to hear you enjoyed How to Lose a Goblin, Tammy 🙂 & hehe it makes me giggle too, I enjoy those comics so I’m looking forward to read a bunch of them 🙂
You’re flying through that SOS Hotel series! I love the cover of All The Horses Of Iceland, the sky definitely has that Northern Lights effect. I have to say your third choice kind of looks like a colouring book cover wise to me though, one of those adult fantasy art ones 😂 hope you enjoy How To Lose A Goblin In Ten Days and good luck with your ARC catch up plans 🥰
I really am, it helps that they’re novellas and I’m listening to the audiobooks when I take the dog out in a walk! Yes it does have such a cool lighting and the colour palette is very pretty :). Ohh I can sort of see what you’re talking about haha well it is a scifi fantasy graphic novel so that makes sense in a way? And each character sort of has a different colour, the art is extremely bright so it would make a fun coloring book lol. Thank you. I’m thinking the end of the year should focus on catching up on ARCs again lol.
Heart and Brain is so much fun! I actually use that in my comics classes as we try to figure out what makes comics funny
I agree, they’re quite delightful! And oh my gosh that’s so cool, sounds like an excellent class 😎!

I’m also participating in the Magical Readathon again, because it’s so much fun 🥰 I’m doing my Higher Calling (World Builder) again, but I might squeeze in a few additional classes, as I love the reading prompts 😊 How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days has such a gorgeous cover, I hope you like it!
Yay!! It is a ton of fun and I love participating as much as I can even though more often than not, I fail the semester 🤫😅! I love the cover for How to Lose a Goblin as well with the hobbit-style door! hehehe adorable! Thanks, Caro 🥰
