hey guys so I'm gonna try to make this
video and as quick as possible because
it's like almost 10 o'clock at night and
I have a bunch of other stuff I have to
do including editing this video and
uploading it I'm hosting another read-a-thon
and this time it's called this Summerween-a-thon I am co-hosting this I am not the
one who came up the idea Moana at astoldbyhoney came up with the idea
and asked the me and some other people to
co-host the other co-hosts are Rebecca
from Rebecca books Sarah form I I
think it's like justanotherbooktuber
something like that and then mallanna
Myonna I'll link all their channels down
below you should subscribe to him
they're awesome anyways this read-a-thon
is essentially uh a Halloween
read-a-thon in the middle of June the
summer
I'm sorry it's like I'm tired I've been
in the heat for a while today this read-a-thon is going to be running from June
17th to the 23rd and we're gonna be
doing a bunch of cool stuff we do have
some challenges as well as a group
book for this
so there are initially three challenges
but if you want to be like super extra
like I'm gonna be it's technically six
challenges because their choice
challenges and then there's the group
book our great book is Coraline be Neil
Gaiman is a weights by I don't know I
still haven't yet to order this book so
I need to order it so I can read it cuz
I'm a co-host so I feel like I'm obligated
to read the group book but we're also
going to be doing I believe on that
Friday we will be doing a kind of group
livestream of the movie I don't know if
something's gonna screen share it or
we're just gonna share it on Twitter but
yeah it's gonna be super cool also we
have a group chat for everybody that's
participating in the read-a-thon so if you
want to be part of that you can tweet us
at the readathons twitter which i will
leave up here and I will leave linked down
below and we'll add you to the group
chat and yeah so anyways I'm gonna die
quickly tell you though my TBR so for
this read-a-thon we have come up with
three challenges that are kind of two
parted so you can decide if you
participate in like this summery
challenges or the Halloweeny challenges
or you can do both if you want I'm being
an overachiever and I have picked a book
for each of the two parts of the
challenge so I'm gonna attempt to read
seven books in this week but we'll see I
have it just started my second summer
class which I realized is not a first
session it literally goes all summer so
I hate myself and it's a lot more work than I
thought it was gonna be so I hate myself
even more but it's okay so we'll see how
much reading I get done during this
read-a-thon challenge number one for the
summer portion is read a book that gives
you warm and fuzzies and for this one I
have literally changed my TBR like so
many times for the read-a-thon
so now this videos going up this is this
set in stone this is what's gonna be
my cat's fucking with shit on the floor so
if you hear his bell I'm sorry the book I
chose is Puddin' by Julie Murphy this is
the companion novel to Dumplin' I read
Dumplin' a couple months ago and I
absolutely loved it and I am super
excited to read this also my friend
Mikayla over mybookself which I'll
leave her channel link down below it's
currently reading this right now she
just told me there's an ace character in
this story and I am so freaking excited
and it's not even like an ace character
like where it just kind of hints at it
like she said like it's like straight up
like written on the page that the
character is asexual and I'm like here
for that
also it's Pride Month so got a stick
some pride books in my TBR and I friggin
love Mellie who this book centers around
and she's just she's just a warm ball of
sunshine so she's definitely gonna give
me all the warm and fuzzies for the
Halloween part of the challenge is to
read a book that's going to give you
chills and for that one I have picked A
Midsummer Night's Scream by RL Stine I
actually really like RL Stine
I haven't read much of his stuff since
I've been in middle school I was really
in love with his fear Street serious I
loved it so much I still have no idea
how I could read those books and go to
bed and sleep just fine but I'm slowly
trying to build up my RL Stine
collection because I actually want to own
them since they broad most of them from the
school library and he always gives me
chills and I just really like his horror
books so this one and it's decently
short um so challenge number two for the
Halloween prompt it is read a book with
a paranormal aspect whether it be
werewolves vampires ghosts all that kind
of stuff and for that I actually if
you've been on my channel for any length
of time I've said I have stated a
billion times that I am currently I'm
sorry I'm trying to tell this price
sticker off your and it's just not
working so I think it's been on here since god
knows how long I got it yes I've been rereading The
Mortal Instruments series I have not
picked up the next book in quite a while
just gonna cuz I keep putting it off cuz I'm like do I really want to pick it up
but I'm forcing myself to read it and it
goes for this challenge like I say for
forcing myself I mean I want to reread it
because I need to finish the series so
but I need a break from Clary
but for that I'm going with City of
Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare this is
book four in the Mortal Instruments
series I'm choosing this because we have
werewolves
we have vampires we have demons we have
angels I don't know if angels count as
paranormal but I really need to read
this summer part of this challenge it is
to read a book with a character that has
a pet for this I really wasn't sure what
to pick and actually now that I'm
sitting here I can think of one book
fight and that's The Knife of Never
Letting Go of by Patrick Ness but that's
a pretty chunky book but I don't think I
want to read for a read-a-thon
especially since Puddin' and City of
Fallen Angels are both pretty chunky
books to begin with but I was reading
through Twitter for Pride recommendations
that people were putting out and
somebody talking about this one having a pet and
I was like oh that works that and I've
had this book for like ever and that is
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets
of the Universe one of the guys has a
dog so it fits the prompt also this is gay
so another Pride book and the for the
final challenge of this read-a-thon the
Halloween challenge is read a thriller
which for this one I'm going to be
reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn this
copy is actually at my parents house
which works out because in the beginning
of the read-a-thon I will actually be
home so I can get it and read it and
this also works because I did a summer
TBR video where I let some of my
booktube friends pick books for me and
Sam picked this book and I've owned this
book for god knows how long so I'm
finally going to read it and the summer
prompt for this challenge is to read a
book that calms you I was really
kind of stumped on this one for a while
and so I just decided to reread a book
which actually it's a manga and that is
volume 1 of Kitchen Princess by Natsumi
Ando I have read the first three volumes
of this like forever ago my sister and I
read them and we love them it's just a
really cute manga about a girl who
goes to a school and she wants to be
cook and it's just really cute so those
are all the books I plan on reading for
this read-a-thon let me know down below
if you are thinking of participating I
know I'm being a really shitty co-host
things have been slipping my mind I've
been trying to deal with this really
hard summer class that I'm in right now
I mean it's not super hard it's just
like a lot of work it's a lot of reading
there's only so much I can read about
Oklahoma history before I like my brain
shuts off so yeah let me know if you're
