I have gotten the August OwlCrate and it is amazing as always. This month’s (last month since it’s now September) theme was “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and was filled with a lot of great items. Instead of listing them all out here you can check them out in my video!! I’ll make sure to include some pictures too. Until next time,
iSpat is a self published book by Stephanie R. Bridges that was inspired by her life as a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. Bridges wrote this after becoming closer to God during her recovery. She made this into a series of poems that she divides into sections. Within each section are a varying amount of poems that go with the category of the section, and each poem is also accompanied by a Bible verse.
Now, I was lucky enough to receive this book from Mrs. Bridges after she contacted me asking me if I would read her book for her and post something about it. Normally when it comes to religious books, I don’t read them because I’m not particularly religious, but I did really enjoy and appreciate her story and her strength in writing about it. It is because of that I read about her wonderful book of poems. You can check out my review on my BookTube channel, which is below! Until next time,
I completed my first read-a-thon!! I participated in BookTube-A-Thon hosted by Ariel Bissett on YouTube. You can check out my other post with my TBR that has all the information on the read-a-thon linked in it here.
I really enjoyed doing it as it pushed me to read more books and who doesn’t love to do that?! I also was able to complete every challenge, other than finish 7 books in one week, but I was really close! I didn’t necessarily fall in love with every book that I picked up, but I was glad I was able to cross them off of my ever growing TBR! I will have individual videos of reviews for each book coming soon. Until then, take a look at what I completed!! Until next time,
This year I was able to attend the Atlanta Kickback, which is a type of book convention. I’ve titled it the “Atlanta Kickback Book Convention” because it is normally titled the “Atlanta Kickback”, which makes it sound like it is a cookout happening or a family reunion. The title doesn’t tell you what it actually is.
Anyway, enough of the rant of what confused me when I was looking for book conventions in Atlanta. The “Atlanta Kickback” was started by a group of friends who had their own type of book club, and called themselves 556 Book Chicks. They decided to start this book convention, which celebrates black authors and books. There were so many authors there selling their books and promoting themselves. It’s still really new so there are a lot of areas for growth. It was only their second year hosting this event, and they already had a great author turnout.
Here you can see my vlog and thoughts about the Atlanta Kickback while I was there!! Let me know what you think and if you’ll try and attend next year!! Until Next Time,
I can’t believe July is gone already!! Summer vacations and traveling are leaving us, well those who don’t work year round. It’s time for back to school sales and for fall to begin. July was a good month for me in regards to reading. I finished a lot of books, mainly because BookTube-A-Thon pushed me to do so, but I also had time on my hands. I also finally decided to give Audible a try and that was the best decision ever! It allows me to continue “reading” a book when I can’t physically hold the book, iPad, or my kindle. Here’s what I read in July!! Look out for my reviews for these books that I will link here as they are written. Also don’t forget to subscribe to my BookTube channel, which will have even more in depth reviews and opinions and are open for discussions!!
Until my reviews go up, I’ve linked each one to Book Depository, so you can get the books yourself and make your own opinions of them! Until next time,
