Pondathon II Sign-up Post

This weekend I finally took the time to sign up for Pondathon II, a year-long readathon, and create my character card. The information below comes directly from the readathon’s host, The Quiet Pond, so read that if you want to learn more!

Below the info, I’ll show you my character card and share a TBR of some books I’m hoping to read for the readathon!

What is the Pondathon?

Pondathon II is a story-driven and gardening-themed readathon hosted and run by CW from The Quiet Pond. The aim of the Pondathon II readathon is to read books to earn plants and decorate your own little garden so that we can restore the forest together. More information about the readathon can be found here.

My Pond Character

I created my character for the first round of the Pondathon, and I’m using them again this time around, because I feel like they’re too cute and I’d feel bad for them if I forgot all about them in favour of a shiny new character.

The character card shows a grey rat with a yellow flower crown, holding a red book. Below there’s my name and handle (Anniek @anniekslibrary), followed by the name of the character (Ash, dreamer & reader) and my blog link.

My Pondathon TBR

Of course I’m hoping to read lots of books for the readathon, and create lovely garden spaces, but I do have some books I would love to start off with. They’re all Netgalley books that I’m very excited to read. So consider these 10 books my priority TBR:
