Last year Book Roast created and hosted month long Magical Readathons for the Harry Potter inspired O.W.L’s in April and N.E.W.T’s in August.
This year they have evolved to full career option study plans, including a whole booklet of careers and requirements for both O.W.L and N.E.W.T results, with vaccines for readers of all speeds and goals.
You can select your O.W.L subjects or your dream job first, or you can do what I have planned, which is aim for all the O.W.L’s and decide later.
For April’s O.W.L readathon its a sweet 1 book per subject/prompt and this time around I may even stick to my TBR.
