Pondathon II : Bobax the BEE-holder joins the party!

Hello Fiction Dwellers!

This year I am participating in a year long read-a-long, Pondathon II, hosted by The Quiet Pond. I am very excited about this event and hopefully I can nail the quests to collect those badges <3

What is Pondathon II?

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.

Information about Joining the Pondathon

  • You can sign-up to the Pondathon II readathon here. The readathon starts on January 10th 2022 and ends on December 11th 2022; sign-ups are open across the duration of the readathon.
  • You also get to create your own Pond animal character for the Pondathon, and create your own character card!
  • If you’d like, create a blog post, bookstagram post, booktube video, Twitter thread, or whatever medium you wish, with ‘#PondathonII’ in the title or your tweet. Share the character you have created and your character card!
  • Link back to this post so that new friends can find the readathon and join in as well.

My Pond Character

Bobax the BEE-holder is your average raging workaholic honey bee that has a perpetual dead pan expression. Often misunderstood for their resting BEE face the other bees tend to buzz the other way when they are near Bobax, but deep down Bobax’s mind likes to wander thinking about flowers and constantly planning new terrariums to add to her collection.

🎀 A Magical Girl Retires by Park Seolyeon @fancyshortcake , translated by @antonhur @harperviabooks 🎀
my first year as a creative writing and publishing my first year as a creative writing and publishing student pushed me to read works by all kinds of writers but one author stood out to me.. that author is James Baldwin ✨
i’m currently reading Another Country, his third novel 🗽
the story takes me to the streets of new york following multiple perspectives grappling with their perception of race, privilege, sexuality and struggles associated with the colour of ones skin 🌃
