Vlog: Read-O-Rama Round 7

Last week I participated in #ReadORama Round 7! I had an insanely good reading week, and it was probably one of the most successful readathons I've ever been a part of. I don't know what got into me last week but I was reading like crazy! I really love participating in #ReadORama and this round was no different. I definitely recommend that you participate in a future round because it is just so much fun! :D I hope you enjoy my obnoxiously long vlog of the week! :)

Read-O-Rama Round 7 TBR!

My dear bookish friend Michael and I were chatting over Twitter a few days ago and he informed me that he was planning to participate in the next round of Read-O-Rama, happening during the second full week of June. Not knowing that this was happening and absolutely loving the Read-O-Rama readathon, I instantly hopped on their Twitter to check out the challenges. 

I knew I already had a hefty TBR for the month of June that I wanted to get through and I really didn't want to bump any reads out of my June lineup, so I was thrilled to find that the majority of the challenges met books that I was already planning on reading this month! Because I've already talked about most books (aside from the graphic novel) in my June TBR video, I did not want to make a separate TBR video specifically for the readathon, so instead I'm sharing it right here on the blog! Keep reading to find out which books I will be getting to during the readathon and the challenges that they will be fulfilling!

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

A book with water on the cover: The Puffin Pixels edition, which is the edition that I'll be reading, has water on the cover.

Michael and I will be buddy reading this book during the readathon!

Am I Normal Yet? by Holly Bourne

A book with RAMA in the title or author's name: You can easily find RAMA in the title.

A book you've been anticipating: I've been wanting to read this since I first got my hands on it back in FEBRUARY.

A book released in the summer of any year: This book was released on August 1, 2015.

Giant Days, vol. 2 by John Allison

A book with under 150 pages: This volume has 128 pages.

A graphic novel: Pretty self explanatory!

Swing Time by Zadie Smith

An own voices book: Zadie Smith is a woman of color and from what I know about this book, both of the main characters in the book are women of color.

The only challenge I am not planning to meet is the Read 7 books challenge. The titles I have picked out are all quite lengthly (minus Giant Days) so I don't think I'll be able to fit in any more than what I have picked out for myself. That's okay, though! I'm still looking forward to having a great time reading next week and to hopefully find some new favorite books! :D

Vlog: #ReadORama Round 6

Last week I participated in Read-O-Rama! This was a week-long readathon with a host of challenges that I attempted to complete but fell a little bit short. I still had a fantastic week of reading and between a blizzard and working from home on a couple of days, was able to complete 5 books! I'm really happy with how the week went and am really looking forward to the next round! I hope you enjoy the vlog of what I got up to last week! :)

Read-O-Rama Round 6 TBR!

Next week the Read-O-Rama readathon kicks off and I thought I would jump in and participate! There are eight challenge, one of which is to read 7 books, so I'm interested to see how the week will go for me. Next week is spring break for our students so my schedule should be significantly lighter, so I'm hoping that I can accomplish my goal of completing every challenge (meaning I would have to read one book a day - yikes!). Here's my TBR & each book's coordinating challenge:
1. Start a new series The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
2. A book with a main character that shares your initial The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
3. A book that has an illness in it (mental or physical) 4. A book with an animal on the cover The Dog Stars by Peter Heller
5. A book that has Irish elements Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
6. Go into a book blind Saving Montgomery Sole by Mariko Tamaki
7. A book with "RAMA" in the title or author's name You in Five Acts by Una La Marche
8. Read 7 books The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

#ReadORama Fall 2016 Round | Vlog & Wrap Up

Over the weekend I participated in #ReadORama! I just decided to hop in and read the books that I was already planning on reading over the weekend, but it was fun to also vlog the weekend! I managed to get through two books, played a bit of the new Pokemon game, and hung out with Brett a whole bunch! :) I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and if you're celebrating Thanksgiving this week that you enjoy the holiday!
