As my reading has been exponentially crap over the last few months (I read 4 books in October, 4! And it's my favourite month for reading!), I'm taking off a load of pressure from myself and taking it easy for the last two months of the year. I really liked the look of the Clear Your Shit Readathon last year, it looked fun and a good way to get to all the books that have been pushed to the back of your shelves. The narrator also sounds hilarious! So this is gonna be my focus for November and December, getting through a load of books that I've been meaning to before 2022. Here's a link to the twitter page and the website for all the information if you want to take part too.
The way it works (from what I can gather) is that there are a total of 24 prompts, some have already been released and there's a mixture of mystery prompts, free book spaces and boss battles. There's a storyline theme with three prompts being released each work that correspond with the story. It sounds complicated but the prompts are simple and up for interpretation, you also don't have to do all the prompts and you can double/triple up where you want to. I have chosen a different books for each prompt but I have absolutely no idea if I'll get to all of them. I'm just hoping I can start reading more then 4 books a month again!

Ok, so it's a lot! But it is spread out over two months and like I said, I'm not putting any pressure on myself mostly because my work hours are actually going up to 9 hours a day which doesn't leave me with a ton of reading time. Gonna try my best but I'm hoping to get to at least half of these! Are you participating in the Clear Your Shit readathon? What does your TBR look like? Leave me a comment down below and happy reading!
