BookTubeAThon 2017: TBR, Challenges, ReadAThon Thoughts, and Other Crazy Nonsense

#BTAT17 is Here!

       THE BOOKTUBEATHON IS FINALLY HERE!!!!! Nothing is more exciting in the summer than read-a-thon season! The BookTubeAThon is a yearly read-a-thon hosted by the lovely Ariel Bissett over on YouTube. It is an event that brings together book lovers and reviewers on all platform across the interwebs, including BookTubers, Bookstagrammers, and the fabulous bloggers on Twitter (who up until now I haven't realized are nameless nomads. Don't worry, Twitter peoples, you are loved nonetheless!). It is a time where everyone can join in on united reading through Twitter sprints and YouTube and Instagram challenges for all to participate in. If you want to participate and are looking for where to start, click play on the video below for all the details!

TBR Pile

       TBR's are so hard for me to plan out. As a mood reader, I am very inclined to pick up whichever book I am feeling at that moment. SO I have decided to pick out WAY MORE BOOKS THAN NECESSARY so I won't run out of reading materials. However, I will definitely be reading Juniper Lemon's Happiness Index, as it the official BookTubeAThon pick this year. If you're looking for more information on that, be sure to check out the video on the right as well, and if you want to stay up to date with what I am reading, click the link below to check out my BookTubeAThon Goodreads shelf.

2017 Reading Challenges

       Here are this year's reading challenges! I try not to plan which book goes to which challenge, only the ones that are book specific. Otherwise, I will update you guys at the end of the week on which books I did to complete each challenge.

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. Finish a book completely outdoors.
6. Read a book you bought because of the cover.
7. Read seven books.

Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.
