Pondathon Sign-Up

Pondathon II: The Quiet Pond’s Story-Driven Readathon. A small spade and watering can are crossed with vines wrapped around it frame the words Pondathon II. Three little forest sprites - one with a leaf on its head, another with twigs on its head like antlers, and a mushroom on the other’s head - sit on the words ‘Pondathon’.

I saw the first pondathon read-a-thon last year and thought it looked adorable, but was too busy to sign up. This year, Ponadathon II feels a bit more laid back to me and I am super excited about the work CW from The Quiet Pond has put into making graphics you can update to show your progress. There are lots of lovely bits and pieces you can put together to easily make your own character. Then the same will be true for putting together a garden plot using plants and decorations you earn by reading. I can’t wait! The official description and instructions for if you want to join me are below. Note that this event is run in NZT (New Zealand Time), so deadlines will happen almost a full day in advance of the listed time for anyone in the US.

What is the Pondathon?

Pondathon II is a story-driven and gardening-themed readathon hosted and run by CW from The Quiet Pond. The aim of the Pondathon II readathon is to read books to earn plants and decorate your own little garden so that we can restore the forest together. More information about the readathon can be found here.

My Pond Character

My character is based on my cat, Maggie, although honestly I have a hard time imagining her doing anything as productive as gardening! She is very relaxed and great at cuddles though 🙂

I have to admit that I’m ignoring the directions a bit already and don’t plan on posting a TBR in advance. I’ve been much more of a mood reader lately, so we’ll see where my whims and any challenge prompts take me.
