Booktube-A-Thon!

By


 I am participating in this year’s booktubeathon! Last year was the first time that I participated and I had so much fun! This year will be even better because I have an idea about what is going on and what I’m doing. So for those of you who don’t know what booktubeathon is it is a read-a-thon (Like a reading marathon) that lasts all week. So from July 24th through July 30th you try to read as many books as possible to cut down on your to be read pile. There are fun things throughout the week too, like giveaways and reading challenges and Twitter sprints. This was made for booktube (Youtube) but since then has evolved to include bookstagram (Instagram) and Twitter. So if you are interested in learning more or just want to check it out to see what it is all about go follow @booktubeathon on Twitter, Youtube, and Instagram.


So now I will reveal the reading challenges for this year:

  1.           Read a book with a person on the cover
  2.       .    Read a hyped book
  3.            Finish a book in one day
  4.            Read about a character that is very different from you
  5.            Read a book completely outdoors
  6.            Read a book that you got because of the cover
  7.       Read seven books in seven days 


     Now that you know what the challenges are, I will tell you about what books I plan on reading and how they match the challenges.

These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner (Meets challenge 1 and 2)
The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda (Meets challenge 3 hopefully)
The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Shepherd (Meets challenge 1)
New World Rising by Jennifer Wilson (Meets challenge 1 and 5)
Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst (Meets challenge 4)
Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong (Meets challenge 6)
Red Queen, Glass Sword, and King’s Cage by Victoria Aveyard (Extras)
And all of these books will (hopefully) meet challenge 7

I have linked each books goodreads page, so just click on the book you want to know more about. I will be doing reviews on each of these books after I read them that week, so stay tuned for those! Last year I was able to complete all of the challenges given, even the seven books in seven days. Let’s see if I can complete all of them this year! Now if you decide to participate you do not have to do these challenges, you can just read what you want, but they do make it more interesting.


If you have any questions feel free to comment below, and I will get to you as soon as I see it! 😊

Book Road Trip!

By

{Credit to Conceptdraw.com} For a long time now I have always wanted to go on a road trip, and then I thought to myself, “What better way to make it more useful than to add books?” Voila! That is how this idea came to life. As a resident of the great state of Florida, that is where I will start. I will then make my way across the country to hundreds of different Indie bookstores and maybe meet up with booktubers and instagramers while I’m en route. I want to save up some cash and then buy at least one book from the bookstores I visit and keep tabs on where I’ve been and what it was like. I’ve had my heart set on going on a road trip for some time now and this just makes it even better! I think this is a great way to discover new books while also travelling and seeing different parts of the country. It would be awesome if I had some friends that would like to come along with me, but none of my friends read ☹ . This is great because every-time I would look at that book it w

Coffee or Tea with books?

Most people like to have a drink and a snack with them when reading, the question is though, whether you prefer coffee or tea? Now as a southern white girl (I can just see the stereotypes piling up) I was raised on Starbucks and Sweet Tea. Although I tend to drink more coffee than tea, I still like both. One can argue that these two things don't really count as tea or coffee seeing as they are all sugared up and transformed from their original state. But honestly, when i'm reading I don't usually drink anything, and if I do it's water. The only time I make coffee or tea myself, is when I want to take a cool bookstagram picture, and then I end up dumping it out without drinking it. I have an owlcrate subscription so when they pack tea into their boxes I usually just keep them around for keepsake purposes. Sometimes I will get the courage to actually drink those teas, but I end up not liking them because they are too bitter or have no taste. Does anyone else share

The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Shepherd

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* This book has me shook. Usually, I jump right into writing my review after I finish a book, but I had to sit and compose myself for a minute after getting done. This book was close to being on my Top 5 2017 list, but it didn’t make it because of some issues I had with the book regarding my personal preferences. Everything about this book was flawless, the writing style, the story, each character, was beautiful. It warmed my heart to read this book because it is a true piece of art. Except, this book had blood and gruesome details that made me queasy. I hate anything to do with doctors or hospitals, especially needles and blood. This book had the latter two in abundance. If I hadn’t liked the rest of this book so much, this review probably would have gone in the opposite direction. The story has a Frankenstein vibe to it, and it also gave me a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde vibe because of a character and his behavior. I know Goodreads says
