TimeHopAThon TBR!. Hey! Today the TimeHopAThon starts and I'm planning on taking part, so I thought I'd share with you my TBR. The readathon is taking place between the 19th and the 25th February. I found this readathon through Cherri Walker's channel on YouTube and thought it seemed like one I would be able to complete. There are three challenges to the readathon and you can double up challenges for books. I've got two books on my TBR as I'm using one book for two challenges and one for the last challenge. Here are the hosts: Cherrie Walker - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfUmv7g-XoG68fYpiahtcuA Paper Faerie: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDUG...

Carry on reading! Wave Me Goodbye by Jacqueline Wilson Challenges used: 1) Past: Read a classic or historical fiction 2) Present: Read a book published in 2017 or 2018 This book has been on my TBR since it came out and recently I've been really wanting to pick it up, but I decided to save it especially for this readathon. It was published last year and is a historical fiction, focusing on World War 2 and evacuees. Synopsis: September, 1939. As the Second World War begins, ten-year-old Shirley is sent away on a train with her schoolmates. She doesn’t know where she’s going, or what’s going to happen to her when she gets there. All she has been told is that she’s going on ‘a little holiday’. Shirley is billeted in the country, with two boys from East End London, Kevin and Archie – and their experiences living in the strange, half-empty Red House, with the mysterious and reclusive Mrs Waverley, will change their lives for ever. Award-winning, bestselling and beloved author Jacqueline Wilson turns to this period of history for the first time, in this beautiful, moving story of friendship and bravery against the backdrop of the worst conflict the world has ever known.

When searching for books to fit with these challenges, I came across this one and it seems like something I'd be really interested in. I've heard some good things about Louise O'Neill's books and I'm excited to get into this one. Synopsis: In a world in which baby girls are no longer born naturally, women are bred in schools, trained in the arts of pleasing men until they are ready for the outside world. At graduation, the most highly rated girls become “companions”, permitted to live with their husbands and breed sons until they are no longer useful. For the girls left behind, the future – as a concubine or a teacher – is grim. Best friends Freida and Isabel are sure they’ll be chosen as companions – they are among the most highly rated girls in their year. But as the intensity of final year takes hold, Isabel does the unthinkable and starts to put on weight. .. And then, into this sealed female environment, the boys arrive, eager to choose a bride. Freida must fight for her future – even if it means betraying the only friend, the only love, she has ever known. . .

I'm hoping to finish these by the end of the readathon and maybe fit in another book if I can.
