It is that time of the year again, where the booktube-a-thon happens! If you don't know what the booktube-a-thon is, it is a week long read-a-thon that is created and hosted by Book Vloggers on Youtube, mainly 'Ariel Bisset'. This is the second year that it is happening, and I hope it is just as fun as last year! There are 7 challenges this year, and I aiming to complete at least 4 of them, so without further ado, lets get started. The booktube-a-thon is taking place from midnight 14th of July until The end of 20th July. (A week long).

A book with pictures: Hollow City
For this challenge, I am going to be reading Hollow City by Ransom Riggs, the sequel to 'Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children'. I read the first book back in May this year and absolutely fell in love with the world, it was fun, mysterious and very hauntingly magical. I am very excited to continue on with this series and hopefully 'Hollow City' is as good as the first one!
Throne of Glass is a YA fantasy series that is going to consist
of 6 books, currently only two are out and the third one is coming out on the 11th of September 2014. I am technically cheating on this challenge since you are supposed to start and finish a complete series, but all the complete series on my shelves, I have either read the first book already or I only own some of the books. I am very eager to read this series since it sounds really awesome and I have heard that the main character is kick-ass.
A book with red on it: Crown of Midnight
I am also going to be doubling up the challenges, Crown of
Midnight, the second book in the Throne of Glass series has a red on the cover and It is part of a series, So this is going to tick off two challenges.
A Book someone else picked out for you: Love letters to the dead
Love letters to the dead is the Ava Dellaira's debut novel that is written completely in letters, similarly in the style of 'The perks of being a wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky, which also happens to be my favourite novel of all time. Ever since I heard that Stephen Chbosky mentored the author of this book, I immediately went to the bookstore and picked this up. I have been waiting to read this so I could savour it! I gave my sister a pile of 5 books to choose from for this challenge, she chose this book since we both love 'Perks' and she wanted to see my opinion on it. Even though this book might make me cry a river, I am very excited to read this since I love books that are written in a different way, and I want to see why this is compared quite a lot to 'Perks'.
A book from the genre you have read the least this year: The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby is a hugely famous modern classic novel written by F. Scott. Fitzgerald. Widely known all around the world, this novel is described as 'a portrait of the jazz age'. Having not read any classics thus far this year, I am hoping that I can get through 'The Great Gatsby' during this read-a-thon. This novel is very short, coming in at 122 pages, so hopefully I can get through it at no time, I was contemplating either to read this, 'Animal farm', or 'Of mice and men', but this one sounded the most exciting. I have very high expectations since this is my sister's favourite book of all time, and we both have very similar tastes.
A book to movie adaptation: The Great Gatsby
Yes I am also doubling two other challenges, The Great Gatsby has been turned into two theatrical movies, and I own both of them, so hopefully when I finish this novel, I can watch them both back to back!
Read 7 Books: Vicious
So the last challenge is to read 7 books, and so far on my list I have five books, Hollow City, Love Letters to the Dead, Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight and The Great Gatsby. I have to add two more books to complete this challenge. Most likely I won't 7 books, but I am going to try my best!
The First book I am going to be picking randomly is Vicious by V.E Schwab, also known as Victoria Schwab, this novel is describes as 'A cross between X-Men and The Count of Monte Cristo'. How can this book not seem exciting? This book has been receiving tremendous amount of hype so I am excited to dive right into it!
Read 7 books: Never Fade
The last book I am hoping to read is 'Never Fade' by Alexandra Bracken, the sequel to 'The Darkest Minds'. I am currently reading 'The Darkest Minds' and am loving it, so I know as soon as I finish it, I will want to dive right into this book. This series has been getting a lot of hype around booktube and I can definitely see why, it is fast paced, action packed and the characters are amazing! The last book in this trilogy is called 'In the Afterlight' and it is coming out on October 28th!
Fun Fact: All the three book titles combine make a sentence!
"The darkest minds never fade in the afterlight."
So that is my TBR for the 'Booktube-a-thon', I am very excited for this event and I am hoping to get as much reading done as possible.
