BOOKTUBE-A-THON WRAP-UP!!

Booktube-A-Thon Wrap-Up!


I read six books for Booktube-A-Thon, and 1,797 words! I switched out a book that was on my TBR with another book because I put "The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight" on hold at my library, and instead it was some book called "Crazy Rich Asians"...but anyways here are all the books I read for the read-a-thon!


_________________________________________________________________________________


The first book I read was The Heart of Betrayal by Mary E. Pearson, which is the second book in the Remnant Chronicles. I have no words to describe how much I absolutely loved this book! I think it might be better than the Kiss of Deception for me, but I still love the first one! I gave this a full 5 stars on Goodreads, and I cannot wait for the last one! The ending for this book was the worst cliffhanger ever!

After that I read Slammed by Colleen Hoover. This book was a little weird for me at first, because i'm not that into poetry, but after I got used to the poetry thing, I started to like it. I didn't love it though so I only gave it 3 stars out of 5. I've never read anything like this before, so it was really nice to get out of my comfort zone and try something new.

Then I read The City of Ember: The Graphic Novel by Jeanne DuPrau. I didn't read the actual book before I read this, like I probably should have, so I only gave it 2 stars. I think if I would have read the book I would have enjoyed this a lot more.

After that I read Magonia by Marie Dahvana Headley. I hate to say bad things about books, but I did not like this book at all. I really tried to like it, but it was just not my kind of book. I thought the concept was really interesting, and I loved the cover obviously, but I think it was a little to weird for me. Like the part where she ate the bird and then it lived it her lungs, and the skin thing at the end...I just couldn't do it. I did like the characters though,and I didn't know I cared about them that much until I started crying when bad things happened them. I gave the book 2 stars.

The next book I read was Selp-Helf  by Miranda Sings. I think Miranda is hilarious so I obviously loved her book. I gave it 5 stars!




                                          -♥-


The last book I read was The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest by my favorite author ever Melanie Dickerson.
This is a Fairy Tale retelling of "Swan Lake" and "Robin Hood". I will read anything if it's a fairy tale retelling! I will also read anything if Melanie Dickerson wrote it! All of her books also talk about God and share the gospel, which I love! I adore this book and I gave it 5 stars! I can't wait to read her next book The Golden Braid which is a Rapunzel Retelling!
