Pokemon Indigo League Readathon!


Aentee you amazing, awesome person. From the moment you mentioned the idea of this readathon, I was already on board with it. Because of course I will be participating. You get to pick your own Pokemon for goodness sakes why would I NOT JOIN.

If you haven't heard, Aentee @ Read At Midnight has again come up with something awesome, the Pokemon Indigo League Read-a-thon! (Or #ReadThemAllThon). You can get all the details here, because it's easier for her to explain haha. I mean basically, you read a certain book that corresponds with each gym in the Indigo League, and you get that badge. And you can level up a certain Pokemon along the way! It starts on August 14th, and ends on September 4th.

(I'm pretty sure that at this point, if you incorporated eating healthy food with Pokemon, I would go along with it.)

As usual, all images were made by Aentee, and I am using them for this post. Oh! Except for the one below because it is my very own TRAINER CARD.


I have chosen Oddish for my Pokemon, because it's final evolution is my favorite :)

As for books I will be reading, here they are!
Instead of started a new to me series, I'm going to be rereading Sabriel by Garth Nix, because I just recently bought it. Plus Goldenhand is coming out soon, and I need to prepare myself for it. (396 pages = +39 CP)
HAHA. If you think you can make me cry, THINK AGAIN. Just kidding. Wait. Maybe I could....reread The Book Thief! Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Yes I will do that. (552 pages = +55 CP)
I guess I could read Caraval. I am pretty sure I have read most of the books that I have seen hype for, which is actually surprising now that I think about it? Wow go me. Caraval by Stephanie Garber it is! (416 pages = +41 CP)
I've got this f/f Macbeth retelling, As I Descended by Robin Talley, and I think that would fit this category very nicely. Plus it's Robin Talley. And she's awesome. (384 pages = +38 CP)
But but how am I supposed to know if it is an epic romance or not huh? HUH? I guess I will choose...uh. Can I choose The Song of Achilles for this one? Sure I'm not exactly sure whether it is actually a romance or not, but uh, someone can correct me if it is not I suppose. 
Ah this should be super easy! Let's go with Vassa In The Night by Sarah Porter for this one. 
I don't have many books with red covers actually. Though I do have The Graces by Laure Eve, so that will do! (352 pages = +35 CP)
Er. Um. Wow I really struggled with this one, mainly because I have already read the post-apocalyptic books I was interested in. Anyways, Goodreads said that Steelheart is somewhat in a post-apocalyptic setting, so there we go. (386 pages = +38 CP)



Woo and I am finished. I guess I will also have to somehow keep track of my Oddish's CP, which really is at CP 12 because I just tweeted using the hashtag. I'm sure my Oddish will evolve into a Vileplume in no time!

And unless Aentee comes up with more Pokemon related things, this will probably be the last you'll hear from me about Pokemon. Until September. ;)

Yesss The Song of Achilles is Epic Romance ok. You chose well! Steelheart also works perfect for the Earth Badge. I promise I will stop spamming the world with Pokemon after this. I worked for months on creating my "brand" as the flower/graphics person and I traded it all to become the Pokemon otaku this week #worthit.

GOOD GOOD because I have been wanting to read it since forever!

DO NOT STOP SPAMMING THE WORLDDDDD. Lol I love how you were all flowers and now it's just pokemon pokemon pokemon. I approve.
Totally stole some of these for my own book picks for this readathon. ;) Also I am choosing my Abra because it's the only Pokemon I have at 10CP. HAHAHAHA. But idk if I'll even be able to do the Pokemon version of this since I'm already unsure I'll read all the books. Gah. I AM DETERMINED TO DO THIS, THOUGH.

P.S. omg the Oddish is so cute. I love it.

NO THIS IS GOOD because then we can read them together and IT WILL BE GREAT :) LOL I have an Abra also but I don't remember the CP for it whoops. I AM DETERMINED TOO, even though it seems like a lot of books, plus all the ARCs I have to read additionally :)

Oddish is the best.
Does this mean that if I make some kind of Pokemon game out of you watching The 100, you will? Challenge accepted. I have literally NO IDEA what any of this means, other than Val wants an excuse to re-read The Book Thief and talk about Pokemon.

What is this Song of Achilles? DO I need to read it? I also NEED to read The Graces. And Caraval. And Vassa. I already read The Book Thief, WOO! I love your training card, even though I don't understand it, I think it is very pretty, just like you 😘

There was a FACE BLOWING A KISS, but it doesn't show up on your blog, and that makes me SAD. Just saying.

NO IT DID SHOW UP?

Uh. No. Maybe. I just won't answer this haha....haha..ok look here, I will set up my mini TV tonight and I'll put it in the background as I do other stuff. Okay?

Wait you don't know The Song of Achilles? I think it's adult, but it's Historical fiction set in Greece. It's like a retelling of the ....Illiad. Sorry if I got that wrong I know nothing about literature. THANKS I AM PRETTY. I am glad you like it :)
I STILL NEED TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO FUN AHHH *malfunctions*

Omg anyway. Aentee never does wrong. <3 I definitely need to get on this challenge! Love what you chose for Celadon & Vermillion. (PS. Oddish is a cutie and I still don't have one. Gah.)
