hello and welcome back to my channel
this is my channel novel serendipity
it's been a hot
second since i've made a regular video
that wasn't a vlog i
am still editing a vlog so here we are
this is going to be my monsterathon
tbr and my bookopley tbr and i'm calling
it my
monsteroply so here we are i would just
like to
point out that i am a co-host for the
monsterathon it is
hosted by Cait from chaptercviii i will
link that announcement video down below
it's on their channel it's fantastic it
explains
everything i am co-host of team
conspiracies with noria from noria reads
i will also link her channel down below
and along with noria and i who were
co-hosts
for this readathon for team conspiracies
last year we also have a third co-host
for this team and that is margaret adele
and i will link her channel down below
as well she is also a small booktuber so
please give her all the love and yeah
we are going to lead our team to victory
but we are going to start off
by rolling the die i have my die i
couldn't get my printer to
print out the board and the community
shelf
cards so i did something a little bit
different i actually
went through the board after i rolled my
die
and so i'm going to be doing some screen
sharing or screen recording
and yeah it'll work out just fine also
been
so long since i've done my hair and
makeup so here we are i will link the
announcement video for becca from becca
in the books
book opley readathon for september also
because it's her readathon so those two
readathon announcement videos will be
down below if you want to check them out
but we are going to get right on to
rolling the die
and the first first roll is doubles
so i was going to do a total of five
rolls so
now it's going to be six rolls this is
already starting out questionable so
here we go am i going to be able to read
all these books
probably not we'll have to see but it is
going to be
six spaces
and that means we land on dark cover
i'm going to be reading six of crows by
leigh bardugo i
need to read this for a collab
special surprise on someone else's
channel i'm not going to tell you who
i'm not going to tell you what i'm not
going to tell you when all i need
you to know is that i need to read this
book this book is talked about
so much on booktube that i know there's
some sort of heist i know you have to
read the grisha
trilogy before you read the duology so
that's
what i'm in the middle of doing but i
need to get to this in september
so here it is this also fits in for
the disability rep for the monsterathon
for team conspiracies and it
is the bunker and the bunker was named
after
basically a really strong fortress or
stronghold because when you have a
disability
or mental illness or anything you are
one strong human being and so that is
what it was named after
a strong area for a very strong person
and so i get to
double up for those two prompts next i
go to 10.
10 spaces lands us on middle grade and i
have one of the
best middle grades and for this one is
backwards and for this one i'm picking
the zodiac legacy convergence which is
book one right book one yes by
stan lee stuart moore and andy tong and
this also fits in for area 51
for the monsterathon which is to read a
book with aliens
or mutants and and this is about
when magical superpowers are unleashed
on the world a chinese-american teenager
named steven will be thrown into the
middle of an epic global chase he'll
have to master strange powers out around
dangerous mercenaries and unlock the
mysteries of the zodiac
and so yeah alien mutant stan lee
it kind of just fits in so and it's a
middle grade so
this will be for those two prompts next
we are rolling in eight
and that lands us on sequel and for that
one i'm going to be reading ruin and
rising by leigh bardugo i'm going to be
finishing this book before i can pick up
six of crows
because i am told that there are certain
things in
the trilogy that come back in the
duology and you will only understand if
you read the trilogy first i know there
is some like
which one should you do you read first
you had to read the trilogy before you
can read the duology
and i have people that i trust very
dearly that say
you need to read the trilogy first
because
you will enjoy the duology that much
more and the duology
is much better perceived by the reading
community than the trilogy so i just
want to be prepared this is the last
book i have in this trilogy and then i
can finally start
my read of the duology for the first
time ever it is gonna be exciting
next i roll a six and this lands us
on a corner space which is to read a
star prediction
i am buddy reading ember in the ashes by
saba tahir
with noria from noria reads we have been
buddy reading
for a year and a half now just all kinds
of books we have read
all kinds of books together and this is
the next buddy read that we are reading
we just got done reading wicked saints
together so
this is just the next one we have
already started i am only going to be
counting the pages
themselves for the monsterathon that i'm
reading from the first
onward but we want to finish this in
september
i am currently on page i don't know uh
54. we're reading like one chapter a day
on weekdays and two chapters a day on
weekend
days and so it's a chunky book and
basically about... laia who's a slave elias
who
is a soldier neither is free i just got
to um
kind of meeting the characters and what
they stand for and who they are this
book starts off with a bang i'm only 54
pages in
but i think this is going to be a five
star for me
at least in the direction that it's
going right now but it is a chunky book
and i am only 54 pages in so
anything can change but that's my
prediction this is just a prediction
this can also be for rear view mirror
for the monster-a-thon which is to read a
backlisted book
or no it is to read a book that was
published at least five years ago and
this was
published in april of 2015 if i'm not
mistaken
or something else it's published might
be an indie author or a book that was
published five or more years ago so five
years old
five and like six months old so here we
are
i'm reading it i need to read it it's my
buddy read and
yes so here we are next i roll a 12
and this lands us on community shelf
and for this one i did a random number
generator
i wrote down five different prompts the
first prompt is
book on my sequel shelves which is
uh these three right here book on my
most anticipated read shelf which is
these three over here that you can't see
um the next one is graphic novel which i
have some graphic novels down there
and then number four is manga i have
naruto up there
fullmetal alchemist up there and all my
other ones over there and then i have
number five which is short story because
i do have to read a short story from
monsterathon so i thought that should be
one of my community shelf cards
and those are five prompts that i needed
to write down so i just brought up the
google random number generator but one
through five in and
let's see what i get and i get
four so that is to read a manga and i'm
going to be
reading the next volume of naruto that i
need to read i think it's number four i
wanted to double check my goodreads i
think i'm on volume four been reading
this
really slowly but this is by masashi
kishimoto
and um if anyone knows i love naruto i
love kudama he's my favorite he's my boy
so yes this is the next volume that i
want to read
next i roll a nine which gets me to
disability rep
and i already like messed up okay so six
of crows i'm gonna do for
dark cover and then for disability rep i
am going to go with the tea dragon
society by katie o'neill
very short middle grade adorable graphic
novel about
tea dragons this is a very popular
graphic novel as well
but it's just about these individuals
who are raising tea dragons and each
dragon
represents a different tea and in the back
if i'm not mistaken because this is a
reread
yes it shows different different dragons
and what their tea is so like the
ginger tea dragon the peppermint tea
dragon and they're all
super adorable so um i was originally
going to i have notes
i was originally going to do the t
dragon society for the bunker which is
disability rep um because this does have
disability rep in it
and the bunker for the monsterathon
so oops and then i'm doing six of crows
for
dark cover so here we are we got it and
so
on my roll five i did roll another set
of
doubles which was two sixes
because when's the last time i read
seven books in a month um
over a year so yes i rolled
a six and a four which gets me to
ten luckily no doubles and this gets me
two first in a series and so luckily the
last monsterathon
book that i picked is also first in a
series
so for the monsterathon the last team
conspiracies
prompt that you need to fulfill is the
upside down
which is a retelling and for this one i
am doing blood heir
by amelie wen zhao and this one
is a anastasia retelling and
um i did hear that it's kind of more of
a
dimitri retelling than an anastasia
retelling but
knowing that i will um go and prepared
i do know people that have loved this
book and then i do know people
like becca who have really just disliked
this book so
i'm going in with low expectations and
hopefully i just like it so it
is a retelling and it is a first in
series so this is the last book
and so these are the books that i'm
reading one two
three four five six seven which is a lot
of books for me
there i haven't read seven books in one
month in a very long time but luckily
one's a middle grade
one is a manga one is a graphic novel
and one i have already started and so i
will be at least a little bit of the way
through it before september even starts
so this video is going to be a little
messy because
i did forget to roll my last one so like
i got up
in between roll six and seven to like go
and figure out what that prompt was it
was supposed to be
my bad um and yeah that's that's it
so seven books and we'll just have to
see how it goes i
am going to be vlogging for the month of
september because i am
a co-host of the monsterathon but
we will just have to see how this works
and if i
can get through all these books i'm
going to do a reward
and a punishment so my reward will be
i will be able to buy one book if i
finish all these prompts
and i say that because
i haven't been buying books which is
good
but i will allow myself to buy one book
if i can finish all seven of these
prompts
for both the bookoply readathon and
the monsterathon and my punishment if i
don't finish all books
is i will have to unhaul at least three
books at the end of the month if i don't
finish all these prompts so a little
a little prompting for myself here we
are but
i hope you enjoyed this video let me
know down below if you are participating
in either one or both of these
readathons if you're participating in
the monsterathon please let me know
if you are team conspiracies or if
you are some other not so great team

time all the love bye
