BookTube-A-Thon epicness

Hey there!Long time no see.
Some of you may know this,but last week(aka July 14th-July 21st) this thing called BookTube-A-Thon took place.If you do not know what that is,it is a reading marathon created by Ariel Bissett for the booktube comunity.
Unlike most other readathons,this one gathered both reading challanges AND video challanges chosen by Ariel.Also,on the YouTube channel of the readathon,the other hosts(who were all pretty known booktubers),posted their own challanges for book giveaways.The challanges had a great effect of keeping you busy throughout the week and they were very much fun to do.
Not only did BookDepository sponsor book giveaways,they also let the hosts choose a total of 100 glorious books for which the code "Booktubeathon" could be used to reduce the price.
However,if you ask me,the most incredible thing about this was the entire comunity coming together,either doing the video challanges and filling Youtube of that,or simply participating in the reading sprints that took place on Twitter and were,in my opinion,highly entertaining.This entire sense of belonging to a group that loves something you love is pretty darn epic and I am very excited for BookTube-A-Thon 2015 already.

 Here is a summary of my reading progress throughout the week of the Booktube-A-Thon,and you can also find the video challanges/update videos on my channel,if you want to check those out as well:

PS:I would like to apologize for looking like a dead body,I wanted to get as much reading done that week,so I spent my days waking up at 9 and going to bed around 2am,plus I had also been sobbing quite hard because of re-reading Mockingjay.
Anyway,I will post some more on here soon as well,some good ol' long chat posts.
Until then,I'll leave you be.

 Love always,
Me.

The sequel of my dreams? // MONSTROUS DESIGN blog tour

  I was lucky enough to be part of the blog tour for the first book in the series , Dangerous Remedy , last year and it's fair to say these characters have been, as is their way, living rentfree in my mind ever since. Not only was the first book such a fantastic read, it ended on a cliffhanger promising many more adventures to come, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the second installment in this series. Thus, I shall share with you all things Monstrous Design  so that you can join in my excitement! Synopsis:  Following the thrills and spills of Dangerous Remedy, the Battalion of the Dead return in a dazzling new adventure, set amid the opulence and squalour of 18th-century London and Paris. 1794, London: Camille and Al are desperately hunting Olympe's kidnapper. From the glamorous excesses of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens to the city's seedy underbelly, they are caught in a dangerous game of lies and deceit. And a terrible new enemy lies in wait with designs more m...

YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN // book review

YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN BY LEAH JOHNSON ★★★★★ CW: anxiety, panic attacks, mentions of death of a loved one, illness of loved one, homophobia (challenged) & outing    Synopsis:      Liz Lighty has always believed she's too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed midwestern town. But it's okay -- Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor.       But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz's plans come crashing down . . . until she's reminded of her school's scholarship for prom king and queen. There's nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events, but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she's willing to do whatever it takes to get to Pennington.   ...

Gods, monsters and ugly sea fish - Frances Hardinge's DEEPLIGHT

Rating:  ★★★.75 / 5 Plot: For centuries the gods of the Undersea ruled the islands of the Myriad through awe and terror: they were very real, and very dangerous. Sacrifices were hurled into the waters to appease them, and every boat was painted with pleading eyes to entreat their mercy. They were served, feared and adored. Then, thirty years ago, the gods rose up in madness and tore each other apart. Now, none remain. The islands have recovered and the people have patched their battered ships and moved on. On one of these islands live Hark and his best friend Jelt. To them, the gods are nothing but a collection of valuable scraps to be scavenged from the ocean and sold. But now something is pulsing beneath the waves, calling to someone brave enough to retrieve it. Review: The more I think about this book, the more in awe I am even though it's been a while since I've finished it. I had heard people singing Hardinge's praise for age...
