Victoria's Book Blog

Hey everyone, Victoria here I wanted to post this quickly to sadly inform everyone that I will no longer be participating in the 2018 Booktubeathon. After realizing it would be pretty hard to bring 7 books with me across the country while on vacation, I decided that I wouldn't participate this year. I want to enjoy my vacation and I'm going to be too busy to devote enough time and energy to participate in the readathon. If I have nothing going on next year, I will absolutely participate! This year, I realized that the timing isn't right for my schedule so therefore I won't be able to participate. *Disclaimer- This is nothing against the Booktubeathon creators/hosts, I personally have chosen to not participate due to my circumstances.  I encourage you all to participate in this readathon if you can! A link to the official BookTubeAThon Youtube channel can be found in my TBR post. -xoxo Victoria

I really liked the dynamic and diverse set of characters and they made the storyline flow really well. I also di...
