Hello everyone!
I’m happy to announce that Sam from Thoughts on Tomes has asked us to be one of the hosts for this upcoming Tome Topple Readathon from November 16th to November 29th.
I love this readathon and am so excited that she’s asked us to host!!!!! Alrighty, here’s the deal, the whole point of this readathon is to read those giant books that can be intimidating sometimes. Books that count for this readathon are over 500 pages. I know I have a giant backlist of these books and I am going to have a hard time picking which ones I want to read.
Bind ups of narrative novels or short stories (like bind ups of series or short story collections) do not count, but graphic novel bind ups do. For example, the bind ups of NK Jemisin’s Broken Earth series does not count, because those individual pieces of work are not over 500 pages, but the omnibus of Wonder Woman graphic novels do.
Challenges:
- Read more than 1 tome
- Read a graphic novel
- Read a tome that is part of a series
- Buddy read a tome (check out the goodreads group to find a buddy!)
- Read an adult novel

On that note, there are a lot of people who end up reading the same book. If you want to have some discussions on other social media platforms, use the hashtag TT plus the title of the book. For example #TTOutlander or #ttWayofKings

I will finally be able to participate in a tome topple and I’m so excited! I have been meaning to join this readathon for the last couple rounds, but I’m always way to busy in the dates where it takes place, but this time I can totally make it work! 😄
