Once Upon a Year Chapter 4 | Fall & Winter 2026 Reading Challenge + New Prompts

The Marginalia Writer 2026-09-17 | Something is disappearing from the Realm.

Welcome to Once Upon a Year: Volume I, Chapter 4 — Trials and Triumphs, our final chapter of The Book of Beginnings.

From October through December, we'll enter the final stretch of our first year in the Realm with five new Core Quests, four Companion Quests, monthly Side Stories, a new Festival, new characters, and a growing mystery that has begun spreading across the roads we've traveled all year.

At first, the changes are small.

Letters disappear from signs. Words vanish from books. Familiar roads lose their names.

Then the fog stops lifting. Our Volume's antagonist finally has a name - The Forgetting Mist.

🍂 CHAPTER 4 CORE QUESTS

→ A book with autumn colors (red, orange, brown, or gold) on the cover
→ A family saga or generational story
→ A book inspired by folklore, myth, or legends
→ A book with paranormal elements
→ A book where a character finds their strength

Each completed core quest awards 5 points.

🕯️ COMPANION QUESTS

→ A book with skulls, bones, spiders, or birds on the cover
→ A book set in a small town or village
→ A historical fiction novel
→ A cozy fantasy or romance

Each completed companion quest awards 3 points.

🌫️ OCTOBER SIDE STORIES

→ Words Along the Road — Complete the bookish and Realm-inspired word search.
→ Off the Page — Take a night off from reading and watch a movie. Choose an old favorite, something new, or whatever sounds good.
→ A Moment to Yourself — Do one small thing for yourself. Journal, rest, take a walk, listen to music, enjoy a favorite drink, spend time outside, or choose whatever you need that day.

Each completed Side Story earns 1 Token.

📖 STORYGRAPH CHALLENGE

🏰 ABOUT ONCE UPON A YEAR

Once Upon a Year is a year-long fantasy reading adventure where your reading becomes part of an unfolding story.

There is no catching up required and no minimum number of books you need to complete. You can join the Realm at any point, follow only the Core Quests, wander into the Companion Quests, participate in Side Stories and Festivals, or make the challenge completely your own.

Chapter 4 runs from October through December 2026 and closes Volume I: The Book of Beginnings.

Whether you've traveled with us from the first winter hearth or you're only now stepping onto the road, there is still a place for you in the story.

Just keep an eye on the fog.

Focus With Me ☕ | Productive Morning + Pomodoro Work Sessions

The Marginalia Writer 2026-09-17 | Join me for a cozy morning of productivity and focus. These are dedicated productivity sprints, so bring whatever you need to work on and spend the morning getting things done with me.

I’ll be using Pomodoro-style focus sessions with breaks throughout the morning to reset our goals, chat, stretch, grab some water, and check in on our progress. I may be working on job applications, content planning, editing, admin tasks, writing, organization, or whatever else is on my list that day.

You can use the stream to study, work, write, clean, plan, organize, job search, edit, craft, or tackle that task you have been putting off.

If cozy productivity mornings help you get things done, subscribe so you can join me for the next focus session.

During these streams, I’ll be using Focus Grove as my productivity companion. It combines focus tools like a Pomodoro timer and task tracker with a cozy farming environment that grows as you complete real-life tasks.

My September TBR Is VERY Different 🍂 | Orilium + Reading Slump Reset

The Marginalia Writer 2026-09-10 | September is officially here, and my TBR looks a little different this month. 🍂

After a difficult August left me in not only a reading slump but a bit of an everything slump, I knew I didn't want to simply move my entire August TBR into September and immediately make myself feel behind. Instead, I'm treating September as a reading reset: more manga and graphic novels, plenty of genre variety, some easier wins, and a whole lot more permission to pause or DNF something if it isn't working for me.

Of course, September is also a BIG readathon month. I'm participating in the Orilium Autumn Equinox, wrapping up Chapter 3 of Once Upon a Year, and working toward the final seasonal bundles in A Year in Pelican Town—so quite a few of these books are doing double or even triple duty.

📚 BOOKS MENTIONED

• Office Gods, Vol. 1 by Catharina Octorina
• Suitor Armor, Vol. 1 by Purpah
• Cursed Princess Club, Vol. 4 by LambCat
• The Case Study of Vanitas, Vol. 1 by Jun Mochizuki
• Spy x Family, Vol. 4 by Tatsuya Endo
• Blood Magick by Nora Roberts
• Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne
• To Carve a Fae Heart by Tessonja Odette
• Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett
• Barbarian Alien by Ruby Dixon
• Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver
• Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood
• Ruin by John Gwynne

✨ READATHONS & CHALLENGES

🔮 Orilium Autumn Equinox
I'm continuing to work toward my Story Weaver, Thread Mage, and Ratomancer callings in my usual very relaxed way: seeing how many prompts I can complete rather than worrying about finishing an entire calling within a specific year.

🌲 Once Upon a Year
We're finishing Chapter 3 this month, including our Village Read, Can't Spell Treason Without Tea, while getting ready for the release of our fourth and final chapter.

🌾 A Year in Pelican Town
The final seasonal release is here, and I'll be working on my Fall Foraging and Construction Bundles.

💬 YOUR TURN: Are you participating in any readathons this September? Tell me which ones below! If you're not participating—or you just don't feel like sharing—leave me a 🍂 so I know you made it to the end.

If you enjoyed hanging out with me, don't forget to like the video, subscribe for more reading content, and share this video with another reader who might enjoy it.

Once Upon a Year Readathon 2026 | September Side Stories in Greywood Forest

The Marginalia Writer 2026-08-28 | The road through Greywood Forest has opened a few new paths.

The September Side Stories for Once Upon a Year are here, bringing new ways to continue your journey through Chapter 3.

In this video, I’m sharing the stories waiting in September, the prompts connected to them, and the practical details you need before choosing where the road takes you next.

The Side Stories are optional. You do not need to complete every path, and there is no behind. Choose the stories that fit your reading life and leave the others waiting for another time.

📖 SEPTEMBER SIDE STORIES
The Hollow - Share the one book you are still hoping to read before the year ends.
Storybook Memory - Share a childhood book or the first book that made you feel like a reader.
Three Good Things - Write down three things you are grateful for today and share them with the Realm.

What I Read in July 2026 + What’s Still on My Shelf | Current Chapter Ep. 1

The Marginalia Writer 2026-08-20 | July did not look exactly like the TBR I made at the beginning of the month, but I still came away from it feeling really good about my reading.

Welcome to the first episode of **Current Chapter**, my new monthly reading reflection where I look back at what I actually read, what I thought about it, and what happened to the books from my original TBR.

Inside each episode, we’ll also visit **Still on My Shelf**, where I decide what is carrying forward, what is returning to the wider TBR, and what I may finally be ready to let go.

📚 BOOKS MENTIONED

Freaking Romance, Vol. 1 by Snailords
Under the Oak Tree, Vol. 1 by Suji Kim, Namu & P
The Princess Knight by Cait Jacobs
Such Sharp Teeth by Rachel Harrison
Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
Compendium of Lost Tales
Blood Magick by Nora Roberts

July ended up being a month of graphic novels, audiobooks, unexpected additions, and discovering that sarcastic dungeon AIs are apparently very much my sense of humor.

If you make it to the end, leave me a 🐱 or 💜 so I know you were there.

And I would love to hear how July treated you, whether you found a favorite book, abandoned your original plans entirely, or simply read whatever worked at the time.

August TBR | Epic Fantasy, Dark Romance & Cozy Reads

The Marginalia Writer 2026-08-06 | August is carrying a little bit of everything this year — the last of summer, some renovation work, Chapter 3 of Once Upon a Year and the Midsummer Revel running right alongside it, and a stack of books I've genuinely been looking forward to.

In this video, I'm sharing what I hope to read this month and why each one feels right for where I am right now — a couple of epic fantasy series I'm racing to finish, some cozy comfort reads, and my first real venture into dark romance.

BOOKS MENTIONED:
Emily Wilde's Compendium of Lost Tales — Heather Fawcett
Ruin — John Gwynne
To Carve a Fae Heart — Tessonja Odette
Hopelessly Teavoted — Audrey Goldberg Ruoff
Haunting Adeline — H.D. Carlton
Can't Spell Treason Without Tea — Rebecca Thorne
The Mother Daughter Book Club — Susan Patterson & James Patterson

July 2026 TBR + Mid-Year Check-In

The Marginalia Writer 2026-07-09 | It's officially July, which means we're halfway through the reading year — so I'm sitting down with my stack and talking through what I actually want to read this month.

It's been a lot of a year so far, and reading has quietly moved to the background more than I'd like, but this stack is exactly what I need right now: a few graphic novels I've been eyeing for ages, book three in a series I adore, the finale of a trilogy that took me back to Ireland, and something a little spooky for the summer heat.

Books mentioned:
Under the Oak Tree, Vol. 1
Freaking Romance, Vol. 1
Compendium of Lost Tales (Emily Wilde #3)
Blood Magick (Cousin O'Dwyer Trilogy #3)
Such Sharp Teeth

Come find me on Instagram for more: instagram.com/themarginaliawriter

Want to grab any of the books mentioned in this video? You can find them all linked on my Amazon Storefront: amazon.com/shop/murphy28/curation/e07a3fb7-1dfe-443f-94d8-24af4c19ba69?ccs_id=551bcb45-49a5-4954-b4a0-c809cd069aff&ref_=aip_sf_cur_spv_ons_d

Thank you for being here through this whirlwind of a year — I mean that more than I can say.

New Places Within Greywood Forest
- Greywood Forest: An ancient forest where light arrives in pieces, paths shift without warning, and travelers are rewarded for moving slowly enough to notice what is actually there.

- Fernlight: A luminous mushroom ring in the heart of Greywood’s oldest quarter—and the site of August’s Midsummer Revel.
---
New Faces in the Realm
- Sable Sedge: The Thornkin of Greywood Forest. Small, ancient, bark-skinned, and moss-shouldered, with amber eyes often glimpsed between the trees.

Once Upon a Year Readathon 2026 | June Side Stories

The Marginalia Writer 2026-06-04 | 🌤️ The festival is behind us, Traveler. The road continues. 🌤️

I'm Catie, also known as The Marginalia Writer, and today we're stepping into June — the final stretch of Chapter 2: The Call to Adventure.

May brought celebration, color, and the warmth of the Festival of the Open Road. Now, as the days grow longer and the light lingers, the journey shifts. June doesn't rush toward endings. It widens. It asks us to pause, to tend to ourselves, and to gather the words that have mattered.

This video covers everything you need for June's three Side Stories — and offers a quiet first glimpse of what's stirring as we move toward summer.

In This Video, You'll Find:
The story of June in the Realm
All three June Side Story prompts (1 Token each)
