I’ve eagerly been waiting to read Username: Evie since it’s release in September and I finally got my hands on a copy for Christmas! I rarely buy books written by YouTubers, however i’ve grown a fondness for Joe Sugg and figured at least his book wasn’t a very strangely written self-help/memoir. I was excited to get in to it!
Bloomsbury were kind enough to send me “One” by Sarah Crossan for review last week after I’d seen the cover floating around online. I had very little (okay no) idea what it was actually about and wanted to dive straight in as soon as I found out it was a story about the conjoined twins, Grace and Tippi. Never before had I read anything quite like this, the idea of it seemed exciting and unusual and those are the two things I look for in a book!
Yesterday the day was officially upon us, it was the release of the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and Philosophers Stone! Continue reading “Harry Potter Illustrated Edition”
September has been a little bit of a busy month for me, getting prepared for my return to University (third and final year! Yikes!), catching up with friends and a lot of family events going on – I’ve barely had chance to get my head in to a book! However I powered through the first few weeks when I was still living the less frantic lifestyle my parents’ house had to offer and managed to read three and a half novels and one graphic novel. This is nowhere near as much as I’d hoped to read but I’m still on track with my end of year goals!
I’ve seen so much dedication from everyone taking part, determined to read as much as they could and achieve those seven goals set! It’s been an amazing thing to be a part of on YouTube and Twitter and i’ve spoken to so many people about books it’s been a little overwhelming! However, I sadly haven’t been as dedicated due to a very busy schedule (meeting with fellow team member Sophie to gossip.) Hope was not lost and here is my BookTubeAThon wrap up for 2015!

Okay so it turns out that BookTubeAThon has happened on the worst week for me as I’ve been so unexpectedly busy! Which ultimately means that I’m lagging in the reading department. But it’s okay, not all hope is lost as I have only picked out a TBR of four books. See, planning ahead. Continue reading “Booktube A Thon 2015 Day 3”
The time is upon us… BookTubeAThon 2015 is finally here!
If you didn’t know, BookTubeAThon is a week-long (August 3rd to August 9th) reading marathon for readers to basically read as much as they possibly can in that week (there’s a lot of ‘reads’ in that sentence.) There are different challenges every year to do with what you will read, but the choices of books are ultimately down to you! There is far more information about BookTubeAThon HERE that you can check out! Continue reading “Booktube A Thon 2015”
