April TBR

I think I'm going to try to do a readathon every month if possible. This month I will be taking part in Unslump-a-thon and Magical Readathon. The Unslump-a-thon is basically a bunch of easy tasks that can break you out of a slump. The readathon is from March 31- April 7. The other readathon is the Magical Readathon based on Ordinary Wizardly Levels. Each Harry Potter class has a challenge. There are 12, but realistically I'm aiming for 6-8. This lasts from April 2-29.


Magical Readathon


Ancient Runes - a book with a symbol on the cover: Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel


Arithmacy - a book with a number on the cover/in the title: The Girl in 6E by A.R. Torre

Astronomy - a science fiction novel: Golden Son by Pierce Brown


Charms - a fantasy book : Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo

Divination - a book featuring prophecies : Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman


Herbology - a book with a nature related word in the title:  Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng


History of Magic - a historical fiction: O Pioneers! by Willa Cather


Magical Studies - a muggle non-fiction book: Evicted by Matthew Desmond


Transfiguration - a book that deals with transfiguration/shapeshifting OR a book with a cat on the cover: A Man Called Ove 

The three other classes that I don't think I'll fulfill are:


Potions - a book about/with alchemy
Defense Against the Dark Arts - a book about/featuring secret societies/clubs 
Care of Magical Creatures - a book that includes magical creatures OR features a magical creature on the cover 

If you have any suggestion for these last three, I'd be open it them.
