BookTube-A-Thon 2018 TBR

Rebecca Herzog

I am still debating on whether I am going to put in the time and energy to make any videos–I did last year, but it takes so much time to film and edit! My 8yo daughter … Continue reading BookTube-A-Thon 2018 TBR

This past week, I discovered this awesome thing called BookTube-A-Thon. Here’s a quick video about what it is specifically: Basically it is a week-long reading marathon where everyone tries to read as much as possible. There are daily challenges and reading challenges and it just seems like it will be so much fun.

In the spirit of the event, here is my very ambitious reading goal for the coming week. Here are the 2017 … Continue reading BookTube-A-Thon 2017 TBR
