#BookTubeAThon 2017 TBR!

It's BookTubeAThon tiiiiime! I am SO EXCITED to participate in BookTubeAThon this year! Literally the moment Ariel released the reading challenges I dropped EVERYTHING I was doing to make my TBR for the readathon (I was working from home and conveniently close to my bookshelf). I am SO PUMPED to get this readathon started and I am thrilled to share my TBR with you guys! 

I am going to try my best to upload daily blogs on my channel that will include the daily video challenge, as well as participate in the daily Instagram challenge each day. I really want to make my first #BookTubeAThon experience as fun as possible and I think the best way to do that is hop in with both feet! I'll post my wrap up of my experience here on the blog when the readathon is over, but make sure you're subscribed to my YouTube channel to see videos as they get uploaded and over on my Instagram to see my daily photo challenges! :)

Keep reading to see my TBR for the week, and let me know what you're planning on reading for the #BookTubeAThon down in the comments! I'm excited to read with you all! :D

Book Review: Flawed

Last week I read Flawed by Cecelia Ahern. This is Ahern's YA debut. She is an extremely successful adult contemporary novelist, and with the premise of this book I had really high hopes for liking this story. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I had a lot of feelings about this book while reading it. I had to stop reading every few pages to jot down my thoughts! I knew I had to review this book when I was about 10 chapters in, which can sometimes be a good thing, but in this situation was not. So, without further adieu, here's what I thought about Flawed.

***THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS! Proceed at your own risk.***

Flawed is a young adult dystopian novel that is actually the start of a duology. It takes place in a world where there is an organization (referred to as "the Guild") that monitors the behavior of the people and if they act in any sort of "immoral" way, they are brought to a trial and usually found to be "Flawed". Once someone is found to be Flawed, they are branded and now have to live life by a different set of rules. The Flawed are seen as second-class citizens and are basically the scum of the earth. Our main character, Celestine North, is seen as the "perfect" young woman. She gets amazing grades, is a mathematician, and is even dating the leader of the Guild's son. We follow the story from her perspective.

****SPOILERS AHEAD!!! It's pretty impossible for me to give you my full thoughts without spoiling major plot points, so if you do not want to be spoiled, stop reading here!***
