It’s been quite a while since I’ve taken part in any reading challenges and read-a-thons because of my hectic schedule but this one is something I just had to sign up for. The Magnificently Magic Read-A-Thon is hosted by the lovely Faye and the idea is to spend these four days reading magical books. That could be books with witches, books about fairies, books that just feel magical, books with a winter setting, or even Christmas themed books.
Throughout the RAT there will also be a twitter chat – which you know I absolutely love about these events -, giveaways and mini-challenges (I’m going to be hosting one of them) as well. Since next week is the very last week of the first term at uni and the past few months were terribly stressful, I’ll try to spend these few days with not worrying about writing essays or anything else. I’ve SO MANY Christmas books for review that it’ll be the perfect opportunity for me to catch up with those, to finally spend some with you guys – and to have a good time. 
I’m terrible at sticking to reading lists so I won’t have an official list kinda thing BUT there’s one book I’d like to read this weekend – which is:
I’m really excited about this one because so many of you have recommended it on Twitter – so this is definitely going on my (non-existent) reading list. Based on previous read-a-thons and how much time I spent with the challenges and chatting on Twitter I probably won’t have much time for anything else but hey, I’m fine with that.
Anyway, I’ll update this page with all the challenges and my progress later this week, so if you’re interested you can check them out here. If you need some more info or you’d like to sign up for the challenge, just click here and you’ll be redirected to Faye’s blog.
Is anyone else participating? What are you planning to read?
So today Sheri at Shut Up and Read is hosting a mini challenge which sounds like a lot of fun. Here’s a link to the challenge and here are my answers:
“Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love. It did not end well.”
“She had been innocent once, a little girl playing with feathers on the floor of a devil’s lair.”
“When I saw her smile I wondered what it would be like to make her smile… I thought it would be like the discovery of smiling.”

Maybe I should sign too! 
Sounds like fun! And the last time we had a blast!

I know! That was probably one of my favourite bookish events so far – we had such a great time!
And yes you SHOULD!!! *pokes her arm* *keeps poking*
I am doing this one too and will be working on all the great holiday books that I have not made way for. I look forward to it! See you then!

Me too! Looking forward to seeing which books you’ve picked
See you!
I’ve never participated in a weekend readathon. I’ve only done Dewey’s 24 hour readathon. I need to open my horizons a little bit
Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholic recently posted..Who Needs Fancy Cars?
Dewey’s RAT is probably my favourite one out of all
But the longer ones are great because at least you can sleep normally and you’ve more than just 24 hours to finish your book.
Oh great, a read-a-thon
Will check it out immediatly and try to figure out if I can find enough time to participate

*fingers crossed* Let’s hope so! I won’t have too much time either because next week’s gonna be super busy again but … yeah. We all need to have a bit of fun sometimes.
Hope you can make it!
When I Fall in Love looks like the perfect read for the readathon! I know I’m definitely reading Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares, and I’ll probably pick up How to Save a Life by Sara Zarr, because it has snow on the front cover
Hollie @ Music, Books and Tea recently posted..Top Ten Favourite New To Me Authors of 2012
And it’s set in winter if I remember correctly so that’s a great choice
I enjoyed that one – I hope you will too! x
I’m partcipating in this one as well!! and the 1st book I plan to read is also Miranda Dickinson – It Starterd with a Kiss!
Melissa recently posted..Book Blast with $50 Giveaway: Eve Hallows
That’s fab news!
Can’t wait to hear what you think!
I actually haven’t read any of her previous books yet so I’m completely new to her work but all of them are supposed to be really good.
Though this is the worst time for me to join a read-a-thon, since I have lots of books I need to finish as the year is ending and none of them will fit this theme, but well, I can’t resist a readathon. Vicky, you shouldn’t have posted about this. *sigh*
See you at the twitter chat. :-p

Did you sign up? YESSSSSS!
It’ll be fun!
I did! LOL!
Yup I have to do this now, can’t avoid this read-a-thon! Most of the books I have for review and what not right now are all paranormal or dystopian…Maybe I’ll re read the Order of the Phoenix.
Erica @ Ink Spots and Roses recently posted..Winners of the $5 Amazon.com GC’s are…
That’s exactly what me and Celine (from Nyx Book Reviews) were talking about the other day – Harry Potter is definitely something that’s perfect for Christmas. I’ve been planning to re-read the whole series for a while but I probably won’t have much time until next Christmas.
Whenever it’s Christmas time I think about Harry Potter, and I watch the movies non stop. I didn’t read Order of the Phoenix or Half Blood Prince, even though I own them.

I just signed up for this one too! I love Christmas books at this time of year so to have an excuse to curl up with a few this weekend is awesome
Claire @ Project to be Read recently posted..Magnificently Magic Read-a-Thon: Sign Up
Me too! I just don’t feel like reading thrillers before Christmas
It’ll be nice to curl up with some holiday reads, won’t it?
I almost bought When I Fall in Love on Kindle the other day, because it was only 99p, but I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t get it.
Will be looking out for your review to make my decision
I wish I had the time for a Christmassy read-a-thon, but I don’t. Maybe next year – I’ll have graduated by then

Ah, I know – it’s insane how busy this year has been (and how busy the next few months will be… *shudders*) But at least we’ll both have more free time next year
Hope you’re OK hun! xxx
I know! It’s been ridiculous! Especially over the past three months or so!
We shall be all done next year though, and hopefully will have more time!
I’m good thank you. Much better now (although my whole family is ill at the moment, so that may change
). Hope you’re okay too

Dani (Pen to Paper) recently posted..Wishlist Wednesday #66
Ooooh, hope you don’t get ill!! When do you guys graduate over there? Is it this summer like us or earlier? xxx
I hand my final assignments in at the beginning of May sometime. Can’t remember the exact date. My actual graduation ceremony is really late though… it’ll be February 2014!! Though I’ll obviously have finished Uni MANY MONTHS before that
It’s silly. When do you finish? xxx
Dani (Pen to Paper) recently posted..Wishlist Wednesday #66
February 2014???? That’s insane! I think we have to hand in our final assignments in March (and then finish the second term, which ends in May) but the graduation ceremony itself is in early July, I think. I’m SO looking forward to next summer! xxx
Yeah, we’ve technically graduated well before then, but the ceremony is really late!
I’m looking forward to it as well – I just can’t wait to finish uni now! xx

Thanks for posting about this! I signed up to and will be following to see how you get on

I’m doing the Magic Readathon too – it’s actually my first ever readathon! Couldn’t resist, as stories about magic are my absolute favourite. When I Fall in Love looks good, interested to see what you think of it. Have fun and good luck!

I keep seeing this title in the library and keep thinking I should read it! You’ll have to let me know if it’s any good!

Good luck this weekend! That books looks cute, I hope you get around to reading it, as well as all your other Christmas books! I’m reading one long book so I hope I can get it done and read other books too
Kelsey recently posted..Magnificently Magic Read-a-thon Goals and Updates
Added this to my to-read list. Cannot resist a book that has a Parisian cover, lol.
