So I have to admit I heard about this readathon a day before it started otherwise I would have posted about it sooner. But, the moment I heard about it I knew I needed to take part in it. This a readthon hosted by Book Roast over on youtube. I have to say she is very organized and very knowledgable.
Highlights:
- April 2nd- April 29th
- To get an O you need to sit and pass 5 OWL exams.
- No doubling up on challenges
- Comic books, manga, audiobook, and graphic novels do count
- Use #owlsreadathon2018

My Career Path | OWLs I Need to Pass
So as I mentioned earlier she is very knowledgable. If you go to the readathon twitter page she has a whole thread dedicated to explaining the OWLs needed for the profession you would like. I decided I would like to be a Potioneer. Here are the required OWLs, but if you noticed I need 5 to get an O so I will be picking another OWL that is not required.
My TBR
Required OWLs
- Potions – Read a book about or with Alchemy | The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
- Herbology – Read a book with a nature related word in the title | The Honey Farm by Harriet Alida Lye
- Charms – Read a fantasy book | Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
- Arithmancy – Read a book with a number in the title or on the cover | The Lying Game by Ruth Ware
Bonus OWL
- Muggle Studies – Read a muggle non-fiction book | From Here to Eternity by Caitlin Doughty
Are you taking part in the readathon? What career would you have if you lived in the Harry Potter universe?

Oooh this is such a fun challenge! I don’t participate in challenges since I get pressured too easily, but if I did, this would be on the top of my list. I would definitely love to take the Charms OWL, since fantasy’s my favorite genre.

I have to give you credit, it is important to keep reading fun. If it isn’t fun for you then you should not participate. 🙂 I have been slowly reading more fantasy.

Thanks! OWLs are the exams needed to show they learned enough in their schooling to be seen as proficient in that subject. O means outstanding, the best grade you can get. Hope that helps!
