Tome Topple Readathon - round 7.

Hi booklovers

I know I keep saying that readathons aren't for me, but after taking part in the TBR-readathon earlier this year I discovered the ideal way for me personally to compile a readathon TBR.

Normally, when I put a book on a TBR I lose interest in it, but I find that when I give myself options, it works out better for me.

I know this is last-minute, but I was planning on reading some big books after the anti-bullying readathon ends, so I might as well take part in the 'Tome Topple' readathon (November 16 - November 29). This readathon is hosted by Sam from thoughtsontomes.

The idea is that you read books that are over 500 pages, i.e. a tome. 

There are 5 challenges, but I won't do them all.

1) Read more than one tome.
2) Read a graphic novel that is over 500 pages (can be a bind-up).
3) Read a tome that is part of a series.
4) Buddy-read a tome.
5) Read an adult novel.

The books I will be choosing from are:

*Elantris by Brandon Sanderson
*Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
*The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks
*The Painted Man by Peter V. Brett
*The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
*The Red Knight by Miles Cameron
*The Mad Ship by Robin Hobb
*Knight's Shadow by Sebastien de Castell
*King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence (if the copy I'm getting has 500+ pages)

Except for the first two, all these books are part of a series and all books are adult novels. So that is two challenges covered.

I'm almost 100% sure that I'll pick up Elantris first. Seeing as I will be alternating between the physical book and the audiobook I'm hoping to read two books. And giving myself options leaves more room for success. 

Are you taking part in this readathon? Any suggestions on which book I should definitely try to read?

Bye for now
