Mythothon TBR

I love the idea of read-a-thons but I normally always fail. I find it really hard to feel like I have achieved anything in a short space of time. However, I'm not one to give up so when I saw this month long read-a-thon I thought I'd give it a go. As it runs over the whole month of November I thought this would make it a bit easier for me to achieve some of the challenges. I'll list all of the details down below as well as my TBR if you fancied giving it a go. 

Full details and sign ups can be found over on @Foxesfairytale's blog at https://foxesfairytale.wordpress.com/2018/10/02/mythothon-sign-ups/

So that's my TBR for the Mythothon I have left a few blank as they're quite generic prompts so I'm hoping to fill these in with books I'm in the mood for. I've also left the LGBTQ and the disability prompts blank as I'm struggling to find any short books to fill these prompts so any recommendations would be greatly received. 

Let me know if your planning on taking part in the Mythothon, I'd love to read your TBR posts.
