April TBR

Happy April everyone! I hope you are all keeping safe and well in these unprecedented times and managing to make the most of the isolation by reading all the books!

Today it's time for yet another TBR and as you may or may not know April is the month of the O.W.Ls Magical Readathon. I took part in this for the first time last year and loved it so I'm looking forward to it again this year. Along with this readathon I'm still planning on taking part in my usual month challenges and such and will structure my TBR as normal. 

Without further ado lets see what I'm hoping to read in the month of April. 

As usual I'm splitting my TBR up into the following sections...


  • TBR and Beyond yearly challenge prompts (I will be choosing two of these a month)
  • TBR and Beyond monthly challenge 
  • Any readathons I'm planning on taking part in, for this month it will be the O.W.Ls Magical Readathon
  • Review copies I have to read
  • Any library books or books from my existing TBR I'm planning on reading
So here's what I plan to read in April. 

Yearly Challenge Prompts

My two challenge prompts for this month are...
  • A book written in the 1990s or a classic from the 1990s - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Illustrated Edition by J.K. Rowling
  • A book without a person on the cover or a book with a POC on the cover - The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman 
TBR and Beyonds Monthly Challenge

No photo description available.

The aim of this challenge is a little bit like pairs. You choose up to two cards and read a book that matches the prompts or complete the activity on the card. You can pair cards up however you want book prompt and book prompt, activity and activity or one of each. I'm hoping to complete several pairs this month with the books I'm already planning on reading. 

O.W.Ls Magical Readathon

I have chosen the career Trader of Magical Tomes and for this I need to read four books completing the following prompts...

  • Ancient Runes A heart on the cover or in the title - The Exact Opposite of Okay by Laura Steven
  • Charms A white cover - One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
  • History of Magic A book featuring witches or wizards - I have lots so I'm planning to mood read this one.
  • Transfiguration A book/series that includes shapeshifters - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
Other (Library/Existing TBR Books)

  • Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo (re-read)
I'd love to hear about what's on your April TBR.
