August 2021 Reading Plans : Another Month of Readathons

Hello friends!

It’s August already! A new stack of book is waiting for me to read (not all of them are new books added to my TBR list though). This month, I decided to participate in some readathons, and I think my reading plans are getting more ambitious as I add new readathon to join in. On August, I’m participating in Merlin Readathon, Pixarathon, Disney Readathon, and Enneagram Readathon. Okay, maybe I lost my mind when I chose them all but there is fun side to know the prompts for each team you are in. Beside, I added 3 more books to my August reading plans by drawing tarot cards (even though Tarot Readathon has been over – I’m still using their prompts since I want to try them all).

1. Merlin Readathon

This readathon runs on August 1 – August 15 by choosing 4 books for each path we get through. It’s interesting, because the book prompt we get will be determined by the path we decided to choose. Here I have chosen 4 books from the path of Apprentice to Mage :

a. Read an author debut

After/Math by Emily Barth Isler

b. Read a book with map

Of Curses and Kisses by Sandhya Menon

c. Read a book featuring friendship

My Cat Called Red by Jane Lightbourne

d. Read a five star prediction

Aristotle and Dante Discover The Secrets of The Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz

2. Pixarathon

Pixarathon is a Pixar inspired readathon which uses Pixar movies as prompts. There are some routes you can choose (or you can choose all the routes) based on the movie genres. Here I chose the Monster Route, because my very recent watched Pixar movie is Luca. This readathon runs the whole month of August.

a. ONWARD : A book featuring puzzle or mystery

Witching Moon by K.E Bonner

I’m going to re-read some old manga that made me laugh in the past, so let’s see which one of them still making me laugh on 2021

Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi

Cardcaptor Sakura by CLAMP

c. MONSTERS UNIVERSITY : A book setting at university or school

A World without Princes by Soman Chainani

d. LUCA : A book takes place on or near the sea

The Magic Ocean Slide by Emma Beswetherick

3. Disney Readathon

This is another readathon held on the whole month of August. As you can see from the title, this readathon is inspired by Disney movies. This time, we have 4 teams to choose which are Pocahontas, Enchanted, Alice in Wonderland and Maleficent. You can take this quiz to determine your team. Each team has group books to read along with the prompts. This time, I’m in Alice in Wonderland team. So here are the books I’m going to read for August :

a. ALICE : A book with an adventure
The Reader by Traci Chee

b. WHITE RABBIT : A book where the pressure is too high for the characters

Midnight Library by Matt Haig

c. CHESIRE CAT : A book that will make you happy

It’s the same for my previous prompt, I’m going to re-read some old mangas

Shaman King by Hiroyuki Takei

Almighty X10 by Aqua Mizuto

Kitchen Princess by Miyuki Kobayashi

d. MAD HATTER : A book with intriguing cover

Charting Stars by Micheline Ryckman

e. THE TWEEDLES : A group book

Heartless by Marissa Meyer

f. QUEEN OF HEARTS : Choose one prompt to skip, and you still gain points

Maybe I’m going to skip the group book

4. Enneagram Readathon

This readathon takes place on August 1 – August 15. It’s an enneagram inspired readathon which have 9 teams based on 9 types of enneagram. There is group book you have to read for each team too. If you don’t know which team to join in, you can take this enneagram quiz to know your type. I’m enneagram type 9 or The Peacemaker, so here are my books to read :

Group book :

Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney

Team prompts :

a. A book with supporting friend

Saving Fable by Scott Reintgen

b. A book which is a friend’s pick

Before The Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

c. A book with cozy vibe

Night Shift Witch by Cate Lawley

5. Tarot Draw

This month I decided to only draw 3 tarot cards which are optional for me, since my priority is finishing all my readathons’ prompts. The additional 3 books I’m going to read hopefully by the last week of August are :

a. The Temperance : read an e-book / listen to an audiobook

The Song of The Stone by May Nicole

b. Knight of Wands : read a book with adventure

The Crowns of Croswald by D.E Night

c. The Wheel of Fortune : read a book with “destined to be together” trope

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

By seeing this reading plan, I know, I’m a bit more ambitious this month. It may be due to the fiery month! Leo season is blazing us with the fire! So, how about you? do you have books you want to read this month? Or do you participate in any of those readathons above? Or do you have a favorite book to recommend which can fulfill one of the prompts here? Tell me down below. Okay, thank you for reading this blog post, I’m going to post my July reading wrap up next. See you then!
