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

Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  ⭐️ ⭐️    / ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  (5/5!) I loved this book and plan to read the sequel at some point!! I already did a review on this book, which you can check out  HERE! 2.) Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️   / ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️  (4/5) This book surprised me with how much I enjoyed it! I didn't know too much about it before going into it except that it was about Simon, who is gay, and how he navigates the obstacles of high school. I really liked the dynamic and diverse set of characters and they made the storyline flow really well. I also didn't predict the outcome/plot twist of
