Jess' original post of this tag was on her old blog (Jess if you have the link bob it in the comments!), so I'll tag another of her unpopular opinion posts here instead! I love this tag, I think people's answers are really interesting so I'm looking forward to seeing anyone else's responses!
Sadly, due to recent events, this year will be the last for the magical readathon in its current form, although Book Roast has plans to create a new readathon along similar lines. I'm really looking forward to what she comes up with in future and am grateful for all her hard work!
I know I've said it elsewhere on the blog, but I think that I've finally found the form of short fiction that works for me - I love novellas!
Time for a freebie! Every so often the benevolent ruler of TTT, The Artsy Reader Girl, gifts us with a freebie week where we get to make up our own topic! I always find some of the most interesting book recommendations on freebie weeks so I'm really looking forward to what appears on the other blogs I follow this week.

'd had my copy of this book our from the library for an absolute age so it was a relief to finally get to it. Despite its chunky size it made for a very quick read and I whipped through it in just over a day.
For this week's prompt we were meant to do 'Top Ten Authors I've read the most books by' but I've done this one some years ago and my list hasn't changed much as I don't tend to read many long series nowadays! So I'm going to do another topic that I've missed in my blogging absence - Top Ten Book Quotes.
I read the first book in the Harwood spellbook - Snowspelled - a while ago after Jess over @jessticulates bought me a copy one Christmas.
