Medieval-A-Thon TBR

Medieval-a-thon is a month long readathon hosted by Holly Hearts Books.

The aim of the readathon is to increase your nobility with every book you read You start as a prisoner with nothing, and then build yourself up the ranking with each book you read. You also read books to fulfil prompts for different professions.

I am extra excited because I have commissioned some more pieces of my character from Franki!

First off, for every book you read your rank increases. 

Books	Rank
0	Prisoner
1	Peasant
2	Squire
3	Knight
4	Noble
5	Prince/Princess
6	King/Queen
7	Emperor/Empress

Profession Prompts

I think that the prompts are excellent, there is truly something for everyone. I decided pretty quickly which profession I wanted to go for, as the prompts fit some books I already intended to read this year.

Blacksmith Profession

• Read a book with gold, silver, or bronze in the title or cover
• A book you're scared to read
• A book with a weapon on the cover
• A hardcover
• A series finale

So there are the prompts for the Blacksmith Profession. But what will I be reading?

Medieval-A-Thon TBR

Like everyone else, I am starting out as a prisoner, with nothing to my name. I'm hoping to get to at least princess rank, anything beyond that is a massive bonus.

• Read a Book with Gold, Dilver, or Bronze in the Title or Cover
• The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna
  I got a copy in a Fairyloot box last year, and I wanted to hold off until closer to publication before I picked it up. Now it's time! And the cover is gorgeous, covered in gold foiling.
• A Book You're Scared to Read
• Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
  This book has been languishing on my TBR since my pre-order arrived. I've just been a bit scared to pick it up because I know it will be a difficult read.
• A Book with a Weapon on the Cover
• The Poppy War by RF Kuang
  There's a bow on the cover, and I have been meaning to reread this book for a while. I know it's going to be hard, I've been there before.
• A Hardcover
• The Dragon Republic by RF Kuang
  When I originally finished The Poppy War I wanted the next one immediately. Unfortunately I had read a review copy and had ages to go. And then when The Dragon Republic came out I wasn't in the right headspace. Now it's time.
• A Series Finale
• The Burning God by RF Kuang
  I have very specifically put this on my TBR to make sure that I finish this series. One of my Bookish Resolutions for 2021 is to finish more series.

There we have it! Just this profession will let me hit my goal, but I am hoping to read a few more for this readathon. I am not counting any Romance books towards my goal, as I have a separate year long challenge for Romance books going on in the background.

What's on your TBR for the next month?
