Dini @ dinipandareads18 Comments

Hello, hello and welcome back to another semester at Orilium! Can you believe it’s already August and time to head back for the 2023 Autumn Equinox? I can’t! Seriously, I know I maybe say this every year but this time really, where has the year gone? Can’t lie though, 2023 has had some incredibly weird and yucky energy and I’m kind of keen to move forward and start a fresh year soon. 😂

On that note, let’s take a look at what’s on the class schedule for ✨ The Magical Readathon: Orilium Autumn Equinox 2023! ✨

If you’re confused and don’t know what I’m on about, you’re totally fine. Check out this video by our super lovely host and creator of this wonderful magical readathon, G @ Book Roast!

The Magical Readathon: Orilium Spring Equinox 2023

Dini @ dinipandareads19 Comments

Hello, it’s officially APRIL which means it’s time to get back to school for ✨ The Magical Readathon: Orilium Spring Equinox 2023! ✨ If you have no idea what I’m talking about, our lovely host G @Book Roast created this Beginners Guide to the Magical Readathon, just in case you’re interested in starting your own journey to Orilium!

First of all, I wanted to check in and see how everyone doing—how are you all?! There’s a lot of wild energy going around in the world right now—I mean, that always seems to be the case but I feel like the wildness has been amped up lately—so I hope everyone’s doing okay and taking care of yourselves! 💜

Is anyone excited to return to class this year? I’m admittedly excited but also kinda nervous because I’ve not been doing an amazing job of reading lately and it’s taken more effort than expected to get back into reading more often; mostly because there’s just no time! 😂 Thankfully, I have a fairly light class load each spring.

Check out how I did in my first year at Orilium in 2022!

Did I Pass My Classes? The Magical Readathon: Orilium Autumn Equinox 2022 Wrap-Up!

Dini @ dinipandareads18 Comments

Hello, friends! It’s time to wrap up my first year at Orilium and I gotta tell you, I’m shook that I was able to end my semester on a high note because I was for sure certain I’d failed. Thankfully, failure was not the case and not only did I manage to complete my classes, but I was also able to complete more quests. Again, no one is more surprised than I am that this happened but I guess life do be like that? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Check out my Spring Equinox Wrap-Up!

✨ Massive shout-out to G @ Book Roast who did an incredible job preparing everything for us. I’m still in awe of all the effort that she’s put into this and I can’t wait to return next year! ✨

The Magical Readathon: Orilium Autumn Equinox 2022

Dini @ dinipandareads16 Comments

Um, hi? How quickly is time flying this year, friends? Because August is here which means it’s time to return to magic school for ✨ The Magical Readathon: Orilium Autumn Equinox 2022! ✨ If you’re confused and don’t know what I’m on about, that’s cool. You can check out this video by our super lovely host and creator of this wonderful magical readathon, G @ Book Roast.

After completing The Novice Path in 2021, Orilium classes officially began in the Spring Equinox. Though I wasn’t 100% confident I’d pass my classes because I’m truly the Procrastination Queen™️, in the end, I managed to read all I needed to pass and I even managed to sneak in a few bonus points for completed quests. 🎉 So, I’m actually looking forward to returning for the Autumn semester even though I know it’s gonna be a bit more challenging in comparison.
