Booktubeathon Wrap Up!

The Booktubeathon is over (sad face), meaning that its the time to wrap up the reading which I did this week. So I'll give you a heads up and say that I did not read a crazy amount of books this week. School, work and a back injury kind of got in the way a little, but considering the circumstances I'm pretty happy with what I read. I would also like to say a massive thank you to Ariel Bissett for making this whole thing happen and having it run smoothly for yet another year, she is the bomb. 
I'm wishing that I could pretend I read seven books like so many others did but I did only read 2 full books during this readathon and then 100 pages of another book, but I'm fine with this because its more than I would have read had it not been the Booktubeathon...

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell ★★★★★
A book with yellow on the cover
Carry On completely blew away my expectations for it. When it was first announced, I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive about reading it because I'm so used to Rainbow as a contemporary author. But this book was amazing, I am so glad I chose to read it for the Booktubeathon, it was so fun and easy to read even though it was quite big. Definitely a 5 star book overall, review to come.  

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins ★★★✩✩
A book you discovered through Booktube
Picking up Hex Hall, I wanted something quick and fun, and it definitely delivered. It wasn't a writing master-piece and didn't exactly blow me away, but it was fast paced and kept me turning the pages (perfect for a readathon) so I'm giving it 3 stars. Though I kind of wish I had read it when I was younger to enjoy it a little more.

Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
Read a book by one of your favourite authors
This is the book which I didn't finish, but crammed in 100 pages of right at the end of the readathon. So far I am really enjoying it and will be carrying it on over the next couple of days. Alexandra Bracken always completely immerses me in her writing and I can't wait to get back to reading it. But sadly I cannot say that I completed this challenge.

I am so sad that this week of reading is over, I have loved taking part in the challenges and discovering new members of the online reading community. Roll on Booktubeathon 2017! Thanks so much for reading (as always) and I will see you very soon,
