BookTube-A-Thon Day 1 Update

8:30am: Started reading Jessica Jones: Alias: Vol. 1.
10:30am: Finished Jessica Jones: Alias: Vol. 1. I loved it. I might actually be getting into comic books if the other 3 volumes are this good. The artwork was great and I just love Jessica Jones as a character. Her job is so quirky and I can never figure out where her head is. Completed Reading Challenge 1, read a book with a person on the cover!
11:00am: Started reading The One Memory of Flora Banks.
12:10pm: Participating in my first reading sprint with the BookTube-A-Thon twitter.
12:30pm: Finished the reading sprint. My monster hunting squad is called Arctic Brave.
1:30pm: Just finished The One Memory of Flora Banks. I was sucked right into this book!  It is suspensful, kind of confusing, and utterly compelling. The ending was perfect!
2:10pm: Started reading The Chaos of Longing. 
3:30pm: Finished reading The Chaos of Longing. It was really good. The poems were dark and socially conscious while telling the story of the author, the way all good poetry should be!
4:45pm: Started reading Piecing Me Together.
5:30pm: Had to put Piecing Me Together down. So far it is really good. Hopefully, I will finish it tomorrow.

I was really upset this morning when I found out that work was canceled for the day, as I am a camp counselor and the weather was bad. But then I remembered that today was the start of BookTube-A-Thon and I got really excited; therefore, instead of going back to bed when I received the news, I made my breakfast smoothie and started reading. I have a really busy week ahead of me between work, helping backstage at a friend's play, house sitting, and spending time with family that I don't see often. When I originally decided to do this, yesterday, I never thought that I would be able to finish 7 books this week and I might not, but today was a great start. Three books down and Four to go.

It is currently 6pm and I don't think that I will be reading anymore today. I leave for rehearsal soon and when I get back all I am going to want to do is watch Youtube and go to bed. So happy first day of BTAT everyone and wish me luck for the rest of my TBR.

All of the books that I have finished today will have book reviews coming soon, always on Mondays.
