Hello Fairy Friends! And, welcome back!
Our June Readalong starts on Monday! We’re reading ‘Sorcery of Thorns‘ by Margaret Rogerson, which is our book of the month for June.
‘Sorcery of Thorns‘ follows Elisabeth, an apprentice librarian, who has lived in a library her whole life, surrounded by magical and dangerous grimoires. When one escapes and Elisabeth is blamed for the crime, she is sent away from her home and ends up on a quest to prove her innocence and find the real culprit. She must lean on her sworn enemy, Nathaniel Thorn, for help to try and stop the saboteur before they strike again.
I’m Amy, your host for this readalong, and I’m so excited to be hosting for the first time! This book sounds like the perfect one to start with! It’s definitely going to very exciting! If you’ve participated with us before, you know the drill! But if you’re new, welcome!
We really hope you will join us all in reading ‘Sorcery of Thorns’ together. We host this with the goal of bringing people together and discussing the book as a FairyLoot community. This really is just a great big buddy read! So how does this Readalong work? It’s quite easy really.
Every day I, your host for this Readalong, will post some discussion points or observations from the section of the book allocated for that day. This Readalong will last over the course of 6 days, from July 15th – 20th. The below chapters are inclusive! The reading schedule is as follows:
15th July: Chapters 1 – 6

Each day we will tackle approximately 60-80 pages. If this is too much or too little for your usual reading speed, please feel free to adjust to your schedule! There’s absolutely no pressure if you want to read at your own pace and do your own thing. The daily posts will ready and waiting for you to still join in and discuss!
There will be spoilers for that allocated book section so we can freely share our thoughts for what just happened and predictions as to what will follow! I’m very excited to hear your thoughts and opinions!
As always, there will be a Readalong exclusive competition to win your next box for free! We always believe reading should be encouraged! Details on how to enter to come soon!

If you take Instagram photos of the book, you might also find your photo being featured in a post too (with due credit, of course!). Just remember to tag your Instagram photos with the #fairyloot hashtag.
You will, of course, be seeing me pop on Instagram stories every day to remind you which chapters we are reading that day. (We know some people like to set a handy phone reminder to get that reading done too!)

Hi Amy and everyone. Super excited for this magical readalong.
I am so looking forward to this read along, The Beholder wasn’t my favourite but reading it and seeing everyone else’s thoughts is always eye opening and I have heard so many good things about SOT. Just have to finish the last forty pages of Girl With a Dragon Tattoo and then I’m starting this early. Love a winter’s Sunday in bed with lots of books.
Sounds like a perfect day to me! I really hope you enjoy this book!
I’ve heard a few amazing reactions about this book so I am really excited to read this book! Let’s do this =D
Where are be able to discuss the book?
So glad I saw this! I will Start Day 1 now!
I usually have too many books and leave them too long to be able to follow the readalong, but I accidentally picked it up yesterday, so I’m gonna try to follow along!
Hi Amy! I am excited to read this book with you.
