Pondathon: The Quiet Pond's story-driven readathon. Image: Two swords with vines wrapped around it frame the words 'Pondathon', with three little forest sprites sitting on top. One forest sprite has a leaf on its head, the middle has twigs for horns, and the right has a mushroom on its head.

What is the Pondathon?

The Pondathon is a co-operative and story-driven readathon hosted and run by CW from The Quiet Pond. The aim of the Pondathon is to read books and collect points to protect the friends over at The Quiet Pond from the encroaching malevolent forces that threaten our friends in the forest. Have fun participating in the Pondathon readathon by joining one of five teams, each with a unique way to collect points and signing up! You can also follow the story of the Pondathon as it unfolds, and participants can also complete 'side quests' during the readathon to collect extra points. The readathon takes place from January 24th 2020 to March 7th 2020. More information about the readathon can be found here.

Mini Reviews: How to Catch a Mermaid, The Know-Nonsense Guide to Space, Dungeons & Dragons: Big Trouble (Endless Quest series)

How to Catch a Mermaid by Adam Wallace Children's Fiction Amazon  Goodreads Summary How do you catch a mermaid? You must be very clever. With mirrors, crowns, and pearls galore,  this quest can't last forever! Review - 4 stars The illustrations in this book are gorgeous. They're so crisp and colorful, they make the book a joy to read. The story is told in a ABCB rhyming pattern, with a "verse" on each two page spread. A problem a see a lot with books that try to tell a story in verse is with an awkward flow, but the rhythm of the verses in this story is wonderful and fun to read. The story is fun, about two kids (and a dog) trying to catch a mermaid, but then they run into some trouble with some sharks and the mermaid ends up saving them. It's a cute, fun read and just happens to be an excellent length for a bedtime story. The Know-Nonsense Guide to Space by Heidi Fiedler Children's Non-Fiction Goodreads S

It's Challenge Time! - 2019 edition

Peekaboo here! I'm stealing a page from Elley's book and posting about the reading challenges I will participate in starting in 2019.  In 2018, I tried to do way too many, and failed, so this year, I shall be doing three. Goodreads Challenge:  For 2018, I put a goal of 100 books, and then when I was 10 away from getting 150 books, so I switched it up. I think for 2019 I'm going to shoot for 125. The point is to set a fun goal but NOT stress myself out too much. Et voila.  (For the record, I do count children's books in with my reading goal. All reading is good reading, kthanksbaiiii.)  Let's Discuss 2019 (hosted by  Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction  and  Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight )  My whole goal for 2019 is to be more creative, and one of the ways I leak out creativity is via writing, so I am hoping this challenge gives me more things to write and discuss, bookishly. Signups are not up yet, but as soon as they are, I'll hop on this bu

Book Review: The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling

The Luminous Dead The Blurble:  When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits, and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck—enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother—meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane. Instead, she got Em. Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre’s body with drugs or withholding critical information to “ensure the smooth operation” of her expedition. Em knows all about Gyre’s falsified credentials, and has no qualms using them as a leash—and a lash. And Em has secrets, too . . . As Gyre descends, little inconsistencies—missing supplies, unexpected changes in the route, and, worst of all, shifts in Em’s motivations—drive her out of her depths. Lost and disoriented, Gyre finds her sense of control giving way to paranoia and anger. On her own in this
