Hey everyone!! I’m participating in BookTube-A-Thon 2017!! This is an annual reading challenge that is hosted by Ariel Bissett as well as other BookTubers to make reading, video, twitter, and instagram challenges.
This year is my first year participating and I’m really excited to do it. I’ve had this blog for a long time now, and I’m just now really finding the community that is around books. If you have been following me on twitter you can see I have been reading books, but I have not been writing my reviews (don’t worry I haven’t been making videos either).
Here I’m going to post the BookTube-A-Thon intro video, as well as my TBR (To Be Read) video! Please join us in doing this and make sure to follow me on social media!!
I got some of my books on Book Depository as well as on Amazon Kindle. Some of them I just wanted in print though we all know I love my e-reader. I’ve got some unrelated posts coming, but I’m super pumped to get started on this!
Here’s my Book List!!
1. When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon – A person on the cover
2. The Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater – Read a hyped book
3. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas – Finish in one day
4. When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon – Someone very different from you
5. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo – Read completely Outdoors
6. The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon – Read a book because of the cover
7. Juniper Lemon’s Happiness Index by Julie Israel – Read Seven Books
8. American Street by Ibi Zoboi
9. The Selection Series by Kiera Cass
Until next time

I’m so excited to be going to Cuba for a few days! I can’t wait to see the history and the culture and see how it is changing with American tourism. I think that it will be a lot of fun. There is a lot of history to take in and see how revolution impacted Cuba.
You can check out my video on which books I’m bringing to read on the plane and in the airport! Please leave a comment and tell me your experiences. Follow me on Instagram at @90sbornreader to follow my journey!!
Until next time

You know, I never knew how big book subscription boxes were, until I was out of school. Honestly now that I’m done with school I have learned so much has been happening in the Bookish community, and I’m so excited that it is evolving and growing! One of the subscription boxes that I am apart of is by Noir Reads.
Noir Reads is a box that features topic on black, African, and African-American cultures, history, and political issues, and also features black authors as well. I started receiving the box in February, it was a gift from my mom after she saw it in an article, but April is my first video unboxing! I will link the video below, but I’ll also list what was in the box.
Contents of April Box: Theme, “Black to the Future”
Binti by Nnedi Okorafor
Kindred by Octavia E. Butler, a graphic novel adaptation
“Black to the Future” sticker
Bookmark with a quote by Octavia Butler
Sankofa post card project: This project is to write a postcard to people who have been imprisoned, fighting for the rights of black individuals.
Those were some of the main things from this months box! Check out my video below!
Until Next Time,

Hey everyone!! I’ve decided to start a YouTube channel, or more commonly known as a BookTube channel. I know I tried this a few years ago, but I’m trying again. How does the saying go? If at first you don’t succeed… stop for awhile and then try it again? I don’t think that’s how it goes, but that’s what I’m saying for now. Please subscribe to my channel because not everything I put on there will be put on here, and vice versa. Thank you so much for hanging out with me! Until next time,
