Summer Biannual Bibliothon 2018 Day Two: Favorite Summer Read!

Hi hello and welcome to the Summer Biannual Bibliothon 2018! For those that don't know, the Biannual Bibliothon is held twice a year and consists of reading, video, and blog challenges! It's hosted by some pretty incredible Booktubers: Kelly, Brittni, Catriona, Momo, Red, Dylan, and Kassie so be sure to go check out their channels for their challenge videos and the Biannual Bibliothon channel for more information on challenges and prizes. Today's blogger challenge is to write about your favorite Summer read and it's hosted by Starlite Book Nook. Let's get started!

I talk about this series quite a bit (although I never got around to posting reviews on the books?) but it's my favorite YA contemporary trilogy ever! I had spent such a long time reading reviews and seeing people talk about how great the first two books were but never really had a desire to pick them up. Contemporary isn't really a genre that I tend to reach for when I'm looking for a new book to read. But I saw that there was going to be a third and final book in the series and decided that I should finally give it a try. And I'm so glad I did! I read through all three books in maybe a day and a half? The books were impossible to put down once I started reading them! I actually read them for the first time last Summer and decided to make it a tradition to re-read the trilogy every Summer from then on. It's just the perfect easy and fluffy contemporary series that puts you in a happy such a good mood and I love them all so much! Lara Jean is a wonderful character and I love everything about her. I enjoy getting to watch her grow up and make mistakes and learn from them. I also feel like the family dynamic in this series is one of the best that I've ever read in a contemporary book. These books just scream perfect Summer read to me and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quick and fun contemporary series to read! Trust me, you won't regret picking them up!

And that's my blogger challenge for day two! The Lara Jean trilogy is one of my absolute favorites and I love getting to talk about it whenever I get the chance. What are some books that you love to read during the Summer season? Let me know down in the comments because I'm always looking for a new book to add to my ever-growing TBR! Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you in the next chapter!

Summer Biannual Bibliothon 2018 Day One: Top 3 Vacation Spots

2018 3:00:00 PM

Hi hello and welcome to the Summer Biannual Bibliothon 2018! For those that don't know, the Biannual Bibliothon is held twice a year and consists of reading, video, and blog challenges! It's hosted by some pretty incredible Booktubers: Kelly, Brittni, Catriona, Momo, Red, Dylan, and Kassie so be sure to go check out their channels for their challenge videos and the Biannual Bibliothon channel for more information on challenges and prizes. Today's blogger challenge is to write about your top three favorite vacation spots and it's hosted by Evil Queen Books Blog. I took it a step further and wrote my post as if I was a fictional character so see if you can try and guess who I chose to write as! Let's get started!

_________________________________________________________________________________

1. New York City

Ah, New York City. I went here on a class trip during my Senior year of high school but I definitely want to return someday. I'd love to explore the city and find some cute hidden cafes and bakeries because I'm always looking for new sweet treats to bake! Plus, I think getting the opportunity to see a Broadway show would be absolutely incredible.

2. Disney World

The Happiest Place on Earth! I've heard that the Main Street Bakery has some amazing confectionary sweets and treats. Plus, I think Kitty would have the best time here. I could probably convince Margot to come with and we could have a Song girls vacation just the three of us! Kitty could get some Mickey ears, I could go to all of the snack shops and sample their treats, and Margot could take a bunch of photos so that we can make scrapbooks when we get home. Yup, this would be the perfect vacation spot.

3. The Beach

Why not hit the beach while we're down in Florida for Disney World?! I still remember the beach week trip I went on after graduation and I think I'd like to have a do-over. Plus, having my sisters with me would make the trip 1000% better! I can just picture Margot and I sitting under giant umbrellas reading and watching Kitty jump in the ocean and make sandcastles. Definitely the perfect excuse to get a new giant floppy sun hat and sun glasses!

If you didn't guess it, I wrote as Lara Jean Song from To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han! This is one of my go-to reads for Summer and I can't wait to pick it back up again for the Summer Biannual Bibliothon 2018! What are some of your favorite vacation spots? Let me know in the comments below and stay tuned for my day two blog challenge post. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you in the next chapter!

Summer Biannual Bibliothon 2018 TBR!

2018 12:00:00 PM

Hi hello and welcome to my TBR for the Summer Biannual Bibliothon 2018! I had a lot of fun picking out what books I hope to read for this read-a-thon and I'm excited to share my reading plans. I absolutely love when the Bibliothon comes around because it really motivates me with my reading so hopefully I can get most of these done. Let's get started!
_________________________________________________________________________________

1. Read the group book/ 7. Read the last book you bought

The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw

2. Read a book from someone else’s TBR

Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire

3. Read the first chapter of 3 books and pick 1

And I Darken by Kiersten White
Like Never and Always by Ann Aguirre
I Am Still Alive by Kate Alice Marshall

4. Read a book that has been on your TBR for over a year/ 5. Read a predicted 5-star read

Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab

6. Own voices - different than YOU

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

So here's a little explanation as to why I chose these specific books. The Wicked Deep is the group book so I'm obviously adding that to my TBR but it's also the most recent book I picked up (because it's the group book!) so it fits two challenges. Beneath the Sugar Sky was on Little Book Owl's TBR for the Winter Biannual Bibliothon and it's one that I've been meaning to get to for a while so I thought it was perfect for this challenge! I have And I Darken, Like Never and Always, and I Am Still Alive on my TBR for various blog tours so I need to read at least one of them and thought they'd fit the 'Try a chapter' challenge. Our Dark Duet is a book that has definitely been on my TBR for over a year (I actually read This Savage Song for the last Summer Bibliothon!) and I can safely assume it will be 5 stars because it's Victoria Schwab and I absolutely adored TSS! For the Own Voices challenge, I chose To All the Boys I've Loved Before because I've made it a tradition/thing that I read this trilogy every Summer and it just so happens to be an own voices book/series!
