Hi, everyone! My name is Camille, and today I'm sharing with you my TBR for the
Sbooktacular read-a-thon!! I just want everyone to know right now that I
completely failed at the spookathan that was last week. I even started to
vlog it, but there just wasn't anything to vlog. I ended up vlogging more food
than I did books, and I think I read about 40 pages over the entirety of the
week, so that didn't work! So I need to redeem myself this week! I was already
planning to do a personal pre-halloween read-a-thon during the next week
anyway, and now there just happens to be an official event that I just found out
about, so I might as well participate in that! What drew me to participate in this
particular read-a-thon instead of just doing my own thing like I originally
planned is the way that they assigned reading challenges--I will leave a link
to the original announcement video so that you can check that out in case I
don't describe this very well--but basically, there's a map. Everyone starts
at the same place, and you follow the trail, and each time you get to a fork in
the road, those are different challenges that you have to choose between, and so
you take your fork, and as you keep going, you reach another fork, and you have to
to choose a challenge and choose a path and bleh--you keep going until you reach
your seventh book. The place where you end up is the team that you're in! I'm
not really planning to do that; they're doing something with points and whatnot.
I'm not really planning to participate in that because I'm not really sure
what's going on, and I don't have time to deal with that, but I'm a witch! I also
have a little mug of vegetable soup because it's finally getting a little
nippy outside here in Mississippi! Did you know that Campbell's feels the need
to have two different vegetable soups? An original vegetable soup and a vegetarian
vegetable soup. Is it really worth it to make two
different vegetable soups just for a different broth? Are they really making
that much money off of the specifically vegetarian vegetable soup and the
non-vegetarian vegetable soup? I don't know. I think it's strange. Anyway, let's
get into my TBR! The very first challenge is the one that everyone starts with at
the very beginning of the path, and that is to read any book that you want, and I
chose Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty. This is basically about her
experience working at a Crematory! I've had this on my TBR for quite some time,
and I figured I would start off my Halloween reads with some nonfiction to
get some real spookiness in my life! The first fork in the road is past or future.
I chose past, and for that, I'll be reading Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
by Seth Grahame-smith! I saw this film with my dad, and I think it's an
absolutely brilliant film! I saw it when it premiered, I got my own copy on a DVD,
and I've watched it multiple times ever since. it's a fantastic film, a really
good story, and he does such a great job of intertwining the fantasy fiction and
real history. I think I read somewhere that this was a dual graduate final
project for both his history degree and his English degree, so he just kind of
combined them and turned this in for both of them, I believe is what happened XD
So then following my fork, the next split in the road is magic or non-human, and I
chose non-human, and for this I'll be reading Syrenthia Falls by Alexander Brown.
This is about werewolves. I guess this could honestly go for either
magic or non-human because technically they are human because werewolves are
half-human, whaaaaa? We'd probably have to have a whole debate on humanity to
decide whether this should properly fit into non-human or magic, but either way,
this is kind of a chunky book, so that does kind of concern me. If I'm feeling
too intimidated by it and I don't feel up to reading it, then I'll probably read
the e-book by Kim that I bought recently from the channel Kim here. I'll leave a link
to her in the description box down below because she is lovely and I really want
to read her book as well, but as much as I love
Kim, this is slightly higher priority simply because I've had it for like two
years and haven't read it. Sorry, Kim, next time! The next fork in the road that
my path leads to is red spine or black cover. This one again kind of fits in
both categories, but I'm choosing red spine because the red spine is very
vibrant and the front only has some black, but I'm also choosing this for red
spine because it's kind of over killing the red spine challenge because it also
has red print! It's very dark--it's more of a maroon/burgundy--so I'm not sure if
it's gonna show up on camera, but the print is actually red, and I think that's
so interesting cause--I didn't even say the title! This is Girl of Nightmares by
Kendare *Blake, and I'm pretty sure that this is actually a sequel... yes, her sequel
to Anna Dressed in Blood. I have not read and Anna Dressed in Blood. I did not know
that this was a sequel when I bought it, so hopefully I won't be too confused! The
next challenge that my path leads to is not a fork in the road, this is a set
challenge, and that is to read something after sunset! So for this, I chose
something short because I have very little capacity for staying up late, so I
chose a manga, and this is The Girl from the Other Side. I honestly have no idea
what this is about, I just saw it in the bookstore, and I think that the cover is
beautiful! I'm pretty sure this is like an unlikely
friendship story between a human child and a demon or something, but I'm not
totally sure. Next I have the choice between reading something with a "dark" in
the title--like the word "dark"--or to read the first book in a series, and I don't
even think I own any books with the word dark in the title, so I chose the first
book of a series, and that is Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
I'm sure all of you have heard
of this. This is one of the booktube classics that has been around for a
while. The hype for it has kind of died down, as far as I've seen, but I still
haven't read it, and it's been on my bookshelf for a while, so hopefully I get
to this one! the final chosen challenge for the path
that I picked is to read a fantasy, and I chose Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett.
This is the next book in the series by him that I'm currently,
I believe it's the Men at Arms series within the Discworld series--his series
are so meta, and I don't follow it completely, but my friend has been
lending me these books in the order I'm supposed to read them, so I'm just
trusting him this is what I'm supposed to read next! And with that being my
final challenge, that puts me in the witch team! Again, I'm not really sure
what that means, but maybe it'll be more clear as the read-a-thon goes along.
Those are all of the books that I am planning to read in the Sbooktacular
read-a-thon. I have never participated in a read-a-thon during the school year
before, other than last week when I tried to do the spookathan, and we--well, you
didn't see how badly that turned out, but I did! Not only will the be during
school, but I'm also gonna be out of town this weekend to see the Broadway
musical RENT with my boyfriend. Not on Broadway, mind you. They are touring, and
they will be at my boyfriend's University. I have convinced him to
participate with me, so hopefully that will help us keep each other accountable
to do some reading this weekend! And because the challenges and your TBR are
chosen in a pathway, you're supposed to read them in the order that you chose
them of the path, so we'll see how that goes. I might break the rules, and I might
jump around. Alright, everyone, that's all I have for today! Thank you all so so
much for watching! If you're participating in the Sbooktacular
read-a-thon, please leave a link to your TBR in the *comments* down below so that I
can see what you're planning to read and what team you're on! I hope that you all
have a super wonderful day, and don't forget that progress is more important
than perfection <3
