I'm joining the #Pondathon !



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.

My Pond Character


Thanks to CW for organizing the readathon and the graphics! I had so much fun designing the character, I made some minor additions to make it look like a Husky (does it look like one? I can't tell anymore :P ) I wish I was better at the naming part, but hey this is the best my exhausted brain could do. I'm so excited to see everyone's characters and see the story progress. I will try to share my TBR updates and hopefully a tracker on my Instagram feed. I need to figure out how to match this with my #StartOnYourShelfathon TBR as well.

I'm so excited for this readathon. It already has an incredible story going on and as of the time I'm posting this, it has already started!

Thanks again to CW for organizing this, creating the graphics and creating such a positive and happy place for us readers ♥

Lets go save the Pond!
