Bookentine Readathon discussion

I probably should have started this thread sooner but didn't even think about it.
This is so all you lovely people can talk to eachother and see what book's each of us will be reading all sorts of stuff like that.
I'm Michelle, I'm 20, I have a booktube channel that has introduced me to so many people and is also the reason this readathon even exists. The last book I read was The Book of Ivy by Amy Engel and I am currently reading World After by Susan EE

I was literally about to start this thread, Michelle.

So hi everyone! I'm Ely (pronounced like Ellie), I'm 19 from Australia. I have a blog and a booktube and I'll be doing updates on both throughout the readathon, as well as on here and Twitter.

The last book I finished was I Was Here by Gayle Forman and I'm currently reading Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Frankenstein (for class.)

I've been subscribing to everyone's channels, or at least the ones I can find. If I haven't subscribed to you, then feel free to leave your channel below and I will!

Hi, I'm Elin and will attend this read a thon. I planned to read a lot of books. Updates throughout this will either happen on my blog (http://elinsliteraryworld.blogspot.no/) or twitter (@MsFoshaug). Looking forward to this read a thon :)

Hi, my name is Lori and I have a blog temporarily called Lori Writes A Blog (thatloricanales.wordpress.com). I do not booktube yet, but I might start by the time this read-a-thon comes along, if I can pluck up the courage!

The last book I read was Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi and I am currently reading The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan.

I'll add as many of the channels as I find as well. Always interested in discovering new channels :)

Welcome Elin and Lori! Can't wait to see what you're picking up for the readathon :)

Welcome Alyssa and Jemma!

Hi!! My name is Michelle, I just started a booktube channel about a month ago and this is the first readathon that I'll be kind of updating on youtube & I'm really excited about it.

The last book that I read was The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and I am currently reading reading Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine.

I am not a huge contemporary fan so I will appreciate suggestions at any time!(:

Welcome Michelle! So glad you're participating :)

Recommendation wise.Well, here are some of my favourites...

Hi everyone so lovely to meet you all thankyou for participating it's great making all these connections and bonding over books.

Michelle I can confirm of the books I've read that Ely has suggested they are a great place to start.
I would also suggest : and

Hi! I'm Erika! I've recently become addicted to watching booktube and picking up new suggestions. I blog about my adventures in baking and devour books as much as I can. The last book I read was Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris and I'm currently reading Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris.
Excited for the readathon!

Hi, I'm Kate, 29 and from Canada. I don't booktube or blog but I found this through Booktubers and figured I'd give it a shot. Going to try to hit all the challenges but will try to wrap them into 3 books only due to time constraints!

I mostly read contemporary this will just be a fun way to knock off a couple more off my list and count towards my reading challenge for the year!

Hi everyone! I'm Sam, I'm 28, currently residing in British Columbia and excited to get back into reading after quite a dry spell in 2014. I've been doing good so far this year and I'm happy to be a part of this read-a-thon. If anyone has any suggestions of books that take place in Canada I'd appreciate it! ^_^

Hi my name is Sherri, I'm 38 but really feel like I'm in my twenties. I live in Pennsylvania in the US but would rather live in the warmer climate of Florida or California! My goal is to work in a library or bookstore. Besides goodreads, I have a blogger page, The Passionate Book Lover and am trying to get up the nerve to start booktubing. I'm a little on the shy side about doing it. Here is my list that are all on Scribd:
Rumor Has It by Jill Mansell
It Had To Be You by Susan E. Phillips
The Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux
Sex, Lies, & Online Dating by Rachel Gibson
Summer at Willow Lake by Susan Wiggs
Millie's Fling by Jill Mansell
The Sunflower by Richard Paul Evans

Hi my name is Kelsey and I live in Oregon. I'm 32 almost 33. I am married with a 15 month old girl. I love reading and hope to read three books for this challenge. I work full time from home so my time is limited. But here are the books I plan to read: To All The Boys I've Loved Before, Looking for Alaska and I'll Give You The Sun. This will be my first read-a-thon so I'm pretty excited I found this group.
