August 2017 FairyLoot Unboxing!

I finally got my first FairyLoot box in the mail!! If you don’t know Fairyloot is a monthly subscription box that comes from the UK and it features a new book, and some wonderful handcrafted items every month. It is a lot like Noir Reads and OwlCrate in that you get more than the book itself.

If you watch my video you’ll get to see all of my reactions to all of the amazing items. It featured items from favorite books like Lord of the Rings, A Court of Mist and Fury, and other great books. There was also a beautiful candle, and a great notebook. Check out my video, which has everything described in it. You might also get to see Barrett too!! Until next time,

BookTube-A-Thon 2017 Wrap-Up

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,

Atlanta Kickback Book Convention Wrap Up!

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,

July Book Wrap-Up

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!!
