Llama Reads Books

This llama reads - mostly romance, fantasy and science fiction

Pondathon II

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’.

Here’s my overall tracker for the Pondathon. I’m also blogging about it every month.
