BookTube-A-Thon Reads!

                                     

Hi my name's Rebecca and I'm participating in the 2014 BookTube-A-Thon, hosted on YouTube.

Here's a link to the readathon's YouTube channel for more information: https://www.youtube.com/user/BookTubeAThon

Here I'm going to share my TBR pile for the readathon and then tomorrow hopefully I'll post my progress for today because this readathon just started, today!

There are challenges and I'll describe how I'm completing some of them in my TBR list.

1. I thought I was going to be able to finish Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness before the BooktTube-A-Thon started but I didn't so I play on finish it today, have 100 pages to go. This book doesn't really fit any of the challenges but I love this series so that's okay aha.

2. Next I want to pick up Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler, which completes the challenge of reading a book with red on it and the challenge of reading a book with pictures. I just realized Monsters of Men also completes the red challenge but I didn't start that book during this readathon so I'm not counting it lol.

3 & 4. So after Why We Broke Up, I'm not sure what order I'll be reading these other books in. But another challenge is to read a book with red on the cover and to start and finish a series. I chose a duology I've sort of had for a while, the Variant duology by Robinson Wells.

5. I'll be reading The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot. I'm going with this one as completing the challenge of reading a book someone else picked out for you. I was in the book section of my Salvation Army with my mom and I was looking for more Meg Cabot books and she found this one, so there. :) Also this book is told in e-mails and such so that'll hopefully be very quick to read. There is another Meg Cabot book, called Boy Meets Girl, which is told in the same way and it was a quick and great read.

6 & 7. Last I really hope but will most likely not happen, I wish to read the first two in the Percy Jackson series. I want to read these last so I can finish up the series after the readathon is over. This completes the challenge of read a book with a movie adaption, then watch that movie, and read a book with a genre you've read the least of this year. The genre is mythology/fantasy and which I've read the least of this year, not by much, but it is. Truthfully I've only really red 3 genres this year, contemporary, scfi/dystopian, and fantasy. I don't really want to read any other genres right now, or any time soon maybe, so fantasy is the least read for me.

And here are pictures of the books I'm going to read!:)
