Last month we posted our TBRs for the Magical Readathon (Part 1 & Part 2) this year. We both set up a TBR to get our O.W.L.s. We’re both terrible at completing readathons, so we thought that by posting something about our progress would maybe help us along. We’re at the halfway mark now, so let’s take a look at our Magical Readathon update. How are we doing so far?

Bookish Item| 5 On My TBR – RomComs
I’m always looking for new memes to do on the blog for bookish items on Friday. On Twitter I heard about a new one 5 On My TBR. This is normally done on Mondays, but I’m moving it to Friday, because it works just a bit better for our schedule, haha.
#5OnMyTBR is a bookish meme hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook and you can learn more about it here or in the post announcing it. It occurs every Monday when we post about 5 books on our TBR. RomComs was the prompt for March 23rd, but I love them too much to not do this one! Let’s take a look at five romcoms on my TBR.
Bookish Item| Reading Goals Update
Every year since starting the blog, Isabelle and I think of reading goals for the year. Click here for our 2020 reading goals post. It’s almost April, which means a quarter of the year is almost over. I thought this would be the perfect time for my first reading goals update of the year! Let’s take a look at how I’m doing so far!
Bookish Item| Magical Readathon 2020 TBR – Part 1
Even though I really end up failing at readathons after making a TBR, I still love trying to see how far I get. I enjoyed the winter edition of the magical readthon last December and was excited to give the O.W.L.s. a go! This readathon will take place the whole month of April and was created by Book Roast. You can find the video to this year’s readathon here.
Today it’s time for my 2020 Magical Readathon TBR. Isabelle will be posting her TBR next week, that’s why this one is part 1. Let’s take a look!

Bookish Item | Netgalley Backlist Part 4
When I was looking through previous posts to find some inspiration for my next bookish item, I stumbled upon my Netgalley Backlist Part 3. I wrote that at the end of October when my feedback ratio was 62%. It’s been four months and my ratio decreased (oops!), haha. I’m now at 56% and really need to increase this.
Out of the 141 books I’ve been approved for, I’ve written reviews for 80 of these books. That means I still have 61 books to go! Today I’ll talk about six more books on my backlist to motivate myself to get to read them. Let’s take a look at my Netgalley Backlist Part 4!
Bookish Item| Top 100 Romance Novels on Goodreads: What Have I Read?
If you’ve been following us for a little while, you’ll know I’m a big fan of romance novels. It’s a genre I disocvered and haven’t stopped reading since I did. Last week I saw a post on In Love & Words. Bree posted about the top 100 romance novels on Goodreads and told us what she’s read so far. I was curious to see where I stand, so let’s take a look! A big thanks to Bree for this fun idea.

Bookish Item| #FaeFriday
I always like trying new things every once in awhile for bookish items. Today I decided to participate during #FaeFriday. This weekly tag was created by Kristy from Caffeinated Fae. Definitely check out her blog, because she’s the sweetest! She decided to create a tag that’s a bit magical and the header was created by her as well. Each Friday has a different prompt, so let’s take look at this week’s topic!
Bookish Item | Books to Read Before 2018: Did I Read Them?
Last week Isabelle took a look to see if she’d read any of her 2019 anticipated releases. I decided to get back a bit further than that. In September 2017 I wrote a post aboute the 12 books I wanted to read before 2018. So I decided to take a look for an update. Did I read any of them? Let’s take a look!

Bookish Item | Book Beginnings on Friday: Jackaby – William Ritter
It’s been a month since our last Book Beginnings on Friday and I thought I would give it another go! This meme was created by Rose City Reader. The idea is to post the first sentence or so of the book you’re currently reading. After that you talk about your initial thoughts about the sentence, book or anything to do with that. I don’t know how often we will do this, but it seems like fun from time to time. Today’s book is Jackaby by William Ritter.

Bookish Item | Favorite Covers of 2019
This past week we’ve been talking about all the books we’ve loved and a few that disappointed us. People always say don’t judge a book by its cover, but even if you don’t want to, it’s still the first thing you see when you pick up a book. So today we wanted to devote a post to our favorite covers of 2019, let’s take a look!
