Readathon Announcement: Hocus Pocus A Thon!

Hello everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and today's post is an announcement for a readathon that I'm cohosting!


I was incredibly excited when I saw that Alyssa and Tiffy were asking for cohosts for a readathon inspired by one of my absolute FAVORITE movies, Hocus Pocus! The readathon is being held from October 1st to October 13th, and to make it even more fun, we're splitting up into three teams inspired by the movie. Each team has their own goal, strength, and weakness, with different prompts inspired by their characters.

Teams

Team Sanderson Sisters is being led by Alyssa, Jackie, and Larissa! Since the sisters are witches, their strength gives them the ability to cast one spell and add five points to one prompt. However, because they want to capture children, they need to read either a Young Adult or Middle Grade book to learn about them. When the Sisters earn 50 points, they are able to complete their goal and cast their spell to become immortal.

Team Trick or Treaters (Max, Allison, and Dani) is being led by Tiffy, Norman, and Kalyn! Because they're defeating witches, they earn an extra two points for each book that they read with a witch character in it. However, they need to stay up all night to stop the sisters, so they must complete a 24-hour readathon. If they earn 50 points, they save the day!

Last but not least, Team Undead (Billy Butcherson and Thackery Binx) is being led by Stephanie and myself! Billy accidentally lost his hand and when he picked it up, it was holding a different prompt, so we're able to switch one of our prompts with another team's! However, because we're stuck in a cemetary, we have to read at least one of our books as we stay put in one spot. 50 points later, we get rid of these witches and finally get to enjoy a nice peaceful eternal sleep!

Group Books

Each team has a prompt that asks them to read one of the group books. While there are two different books, participants are only being asked to read one. Our two books are Serpent and Dove  by Shelby Mahurin and Hocus Pocus and the All-New Sequel by A.W. Jantha!

More Information

Luckily for us, we have our very own spellbook for the readathon that contains all of the information and prompts! Click here  to find it! We also have a Twitter, where we will be hosting reading sprints! If you join along, make a TBR or announcement post or video, please share it and tag us! We have been retweeting them and we'd honestly love to see it. The other hosts and I are incredibly excited, and we hope that you join us!

Lastly, I want to stress that the other hosts are also bookish content creators, either book bloggers or booktubers, and I sincerely hope that you follow their Twitters and the media that they post their content to. Each one has a link in their Twitter bio for you to check out.

Thank you very much for reading this! I hope you join Team Undead because we are going to KILL THIS READATHON!

A Guide to Anti-Racist Resources | #blacklivesmatter #sayhisname

Hi everyone. Welcome to Nox the Reader, and today I'm sharing a compiled list of different anti-racist resources that I've seen shared on Bookstagram and Twitter. Please note: THIS LIST IS EVER-EVOLVING AND EXPANDING. AS I GATHER MORE INFORMATION, I WILL BE ADDING IT TO THIS GUIDE. IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU FEEL I SHOULD ADD, PLEASE DM ME ON TWITTER @nox_reads, OR COMMENT DOWN BELOW. Before I share this list, all I want to say is that I'm mad as hell and I'm tired. My dad always shared stories about living in Inglewood in the 90s during the time of Rodney King and the LA Riots. And it's almost 30 years later and nothing has changed. I've grown up surrounded by names as hashtags and videos cycled through the media and it's infuriating  and heartbreaking and exhausting . And a lot of us are wondering what to do, how to break this system and burn it to the ground. And it starts with educating ourselves and uplifting the voices of others. In this list are book...

Neil Gaiman's Stardust is the Best Kind of Ridiculous | Book Ramble

Welcome to Nox the Reader, I'm Nox, and I really  want to talk about Neil Gaiman's Stardust, which I feel is a give me ALL the merch! "Every lover is, in his heart, a madman, and, in his head, a minstrel." Some of you may remember the movie Stardust from 2007, which for some reason gets lost in my memory alongside the boring, terrible, why did I ever watch that movie adaptation of The Golden Compass. Gramps was flipping through the movie channels a few weeks ago and we caught the last thirty minutes of this movie that I had a vague recollection of, and I absolutely loved  those last thirty minutes (which had a lot to do with the overall quality and Claire Danes' speech at the end but also so  much to do with Tristan being played by a young Daredevil...) . So naturally, I had to pick up the book! Stardust was a bit of a ride for me. It's a short read, a bit more than 200 pages, and it starts off heavily with exposition surrounding the town of Wall a...

Book Trigger Warnings Wiki | Community Resource

Hey everyone! Welcome to Nox the Reader, I'm "Nox", and today I'm sharing an awesome community resource that my friends Jenny and Rob made: the Book Trigger Warnings Wikia! Jenny and Rob officially launched the website last Thursday, and the way it's set up is amazing! This is going to be a graphic-heavy post because I want to show y'all how easy it is to use. Anyone can view and explore the wiki, but in order to edit and add the triggers, you have to create an account. I'm not kidding when I say it took me less than a minute to set one up! You click where it says Anonymous in the top right corner, click Create Account, and you make a username and password! That's it! I love this idea because some of us have triggers that are oftentimes overlooked by others. If you're worried that a trigger won't be included, there's nothing better than including it yourself! If a book you've read isn't already on the wiki, you can create a pa...
