<br />
It's Chami here! So the blog has gone a little haywire right now and it won't be long till it is back on track. However, right now I honestly feel like a small break from blogging. I will still be posting bookish vidoes on my youtube channel: ReadLikeWildFire but my blog posts will be sparse for the next couple of weeks. After I get my University studies and new job under control, I'll hop back on the wagon and ride off into the blogging distance. Life has just been really hectic lately but hang on tight!<br />
<br />
Love, Chami.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05284749504293203273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662840360059900838.post-48792447851168383782015-08-04T01:33:00.000+10:002015-08-04T01:33:16.763+10:00The End<div class="MsoNormal">
This is honestly a post I never thought I would write, but
today I’m announcing that I am leaving A Book So Fathomless. I’ve had a lovely
time here getting to meet all of you wonderful people, some of whom have become
my closest friends but it’s time for me to move onto bigger things. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will be continuing blogging on a new (and bigger) platform called <a href="http://www.teaandtitles.com/" target="_blank">Tea & Titles</a> where I will not only be blogging about books and writing like I
did here, but also comics, TV, movies and much, much more. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
So a couple of weeks ago, Ely and I did a post titled the "<a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/mid-year-book-freakout-2015-edition.html" target="_blank">Mid-Year Book Freak Out</a>" tag. It was basically a bunch of questions to summarise the past half year and anticipate the next half in books! I loved it so much I thought it would be fun to translate it into a booktube version. It's been some time since I posted that video (in which you can watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03gz6k0IB-Y" target="_blank">here</a>) and since that time, a bunch of people have responded to that tag, so I thought I would share it with you all!<br />

There you go! My first read will be Days of Blood and Starlight which was popular from the very beginning, then Siege and Storm, followed by Blue Lily, Lily Blue (!!) and The Murder Complex. If I manage to get through all of those, then I'll pick up The Retribution of Mara Dyer, Sweet Evil and then, possibly, The Demon King.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't know how many books I'll get through this week, but I would like to take a serious chunk out of these. On that note, I'm off to start Days of Blood and Starlight!<br />

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">A
few days ago, I was tagged by the wonderful Lori of <a href="http://booksothewisp.com/" target="_blank">Books o’ the Wisp</a> to do the
<a href="http://booksothewisp.com/2015/07/04/the-summer-reader-tag-books-o-the-wisp/" target="_blank">Summer Reader Tag</a>. This tag originated from jessethereader’s video which is
called the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfvVoSWvGJk" target="_blank">Summer Reader Book Tag</a>. When Lori tagged me, she asked that I used
different books than I would usually pick, so that’s what I’ve tried to do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

don’t know what I’ve done this right, but I picked a book that’s a little heavy
to start off with but gets sweeter. For that I chose, The Mockingbirds by Daisy
Whitney. This book is about a girl who gets date raped, but her prestigious
boarding school has a secret society that helps wronged students. This is
pretty full on, but there are definitely some sweet moments in there too…from
what I remember.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

go with my Queen of Contemporary here—Maureen Johnson. All of her books make me
smile like mad, but I thought I’d talk about Girl at Sea today because that one
isn’t discussed as much. This set on a boat in the Mediterranean and it has a
super super hot guy and some really crazy moments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

is where being Australian is like the best thing ever because pretty much every
book is set in a foreign country. I went for Last Train from Kummersdorf by Leslie
Wilson, which is set in Nazi Germany, one of my favourite things to read about.
It’s the story of two children, Hanno who has recently deserted from the army
and a streetgirl, Effi, who is on the way to find her father. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

going to be a little different here and pick a graphic novel. Nimona by Noelle
Stevenson has some of the best characters ever, in my opinion. Nimona herself
was hilarious and she’s kind of my spirit animal. Blackheart was just the best
and I love him. Goldenloin…what do I say about Goldenloin? Just read this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I wrote a little post the other day about the <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/meet-my-main-characters.html" target="_blank">main characters</a> in my WIPs, and I thought today that I’d introduce their other
halves. Let’s just start, shall we? Oh, and I say ‘love interest’ because who knows
if these people get together? (I honestly don’t know yet for anyone but
Cora/Nate).<o:p></o:p></div>

Usually just referred to as ‘Nate’. This guy is my
favourite. He is just gorgeous and I love him more than anything in the world.
Well, the only thing I love more is him and Coralie together. Did I mention he
was Coralie’s boyfriend? He’s Coralie’s boyfriend. He’s sweet, and caring, and
complex and he would go to the end of the Earth for Coralie. He’s just the
cutest. The few friends that have read this novel have all joined the Nate
fanclub…it’s on that level.<o:p></o:p></div>

I’m just going in the same order as that other post now. So,
Evan is Nellie’s love interest. He’s an interesting one. He’s a lot of things,
all very contradictory. He’s both lovely and mysterious, too trusting and
untrustworthy, controlled and independent, light and dark, right and wrong. He
and Nellie are a complicated at the best of times. <o:p></o:p></div>

Speaking of complicated, meet Arden’s love interest, Mima. So
Arden is a detective, Mima is the victim of a crime. There’s something there,
it’s all very confusing and illegal. I think I know what’s going to happen
here, but spoilers. <o:p></o:p></div>

And the worst love interest on this list goes to…LOGAN. Yep,
Logan is a dickhead. Granted, Megan kind of totally deserves him. He’s
manipulative like her, and incredibly messed up. He’s kind of fun to
write/plan, but also terrifying. <o:p></o:p></div>

This guy. Oh, how does one describe Mattie? He’s Vivian’s
love interest and he’s very interesting. (See what I did there? I didn’t until
I read back over this) His high school girlfriend disappeared one day and he’s
still deeply affected by that. He’s also kind of sweet and silly which is great
fun to write.<o:p></o:p></div>

I’ve officially been away from home for over a month now. I’ve
had heaps of family ask me whether I’m ‘homesick’, and I’m honestly not. I
didn’t have a huge amount of people that I actually liked back home, so that
probably has something to do with it. That’s besides the point. You know who do
like from back home? <o:p></o:p></div>

So today, I’m going to share some authors with you that you
probably don’t know about if you aren’t from Australia.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>John Marsden. </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He’s written loads of books, but is probably most well-known
for the Tomorrow series. The series starts with Tomorrow, When the War Began
and is about a bunch of Australian teenagers who come back from a camping trip
to find that the country has been invaded. They fight back, people die,
characters grow and things are really intense. And that’s only the first book,
because the second book was so intense that it screwed with my anxiety and I
had to put it down.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Melina Marchetta</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’ve heard of anyone, it’ll be <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/search?q=melina+marchetta">Melina
Marchetta</a>. Her books On the Jellicoe Road and the Finnikin of the Rock
series did surprisingly well outside of Australia. She mostly writes
contemporaries that will rip your heart out, but the she dabbled in fantasy for
the Finnkin of the Rock which still ripped my heart out. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Ellie Marney</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What’s that, you like having your heart ripped out and torn
to tiny pieces? Well, then <a href="https://twitter.com/elliemarney">Ellie
Marney</a> is the author for you. Not convinced? Ellie’s <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/search?q=ellie+marney">Every
trilogy</a> is a modern day Sherlock retelling (kind of) set in Melbourne (my
hometown). James Mycroft is everything you’ve ever wanted in a <s>fictional</s>
boyfriend even when he breaks your heart. You’ll absolutely hate Ellie Marney,
and then you’ll realise she’s actually the sweetest person ever and you’ll
spend your days wondering how on earth she messed you up this bad. Great news,
this series is just starting to be released in the US so you can all experience
the pain.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Nansi Kunze</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’ve been a follower for a while, you were probably
expecting this. <a href="https://twitter.com/NansiKunze">Nansi Kunze</a> is one
of my favourite authors of all-time. Her books are kind of hard to describe,
there’s three at the moment—Mishaps, Dangerously Placed and Kill the Music and
they are all a little different. Mishaps is a bit sci-fi, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/review-dangerously-placed-by-nansi-kunze.html">Dangerously
Placed</a> is bit mystery, bit sci-fi and <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/review-kill-music-by-nansi-kunze.html">Kill
the Music</a> is a bit mystery, bit oh-my-god-swoon. They are honestly so funny
and just absolutely great to read and one day, I will force everyone to love
them.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Kylie Fornasier</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, we have the lovely <a href="https://twitter.com/KylieFornasier">Kylie Fornasier</a>. Kylie only has
one YA book out at the moment, called <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/review-masquerade-by-kylie-fornasier.html">Masquerade</a>,
which focuses on seven teenagers during Carnavale in 1750 Venice. Can you
honestly say you’re not interested? It’s an absolutely gorgeous book, very
atmospheric and it just has the FEELS. <o:p></o:p></div>

I thought I'd wait until now to do it for two reasons. One) this was my next free day in our schedule, Two) in a few hours, I'll actually be traveling up to Oxford to meet Dani for the first time!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what are the rules of this tag?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 23px;">1. List seven random facts about yourself</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 23px;">2. Place the badge below on your blog (and no, I couldn’t find a less grainy version…)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 23px;">3. Nominate seven more beautiful bloggers</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">MY SEVEN FACTS</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I <i>really</i> love strawberries. They are my favourite food ever. I could honestly eat my weight in them, and I'm pretty sure I have a few times. I especially like them because they don't have carbs in, making them one of the very few foods I can eat as many of as I want without having to worry about how they are affecting my diabetes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. As a child, I was very interested in Ancient Egypt, especially Cleopatra. I remember my older brother was supposed to watch the film with Elizabeth Taylor in for his English class, but I ended up stealing the DVD and giving him a summary afterwards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. I have an obsession with journals. Every type of journals—personal, art journals, travel journals, writing journals etc. etc. I spend way too much time looking at beautiful journals online. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. I'd never read a fairy tale until this year. I don't even know why, but I was never interested in them when I was younger and for whatever reason, I never had them read to me in school or by my parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. My biggest fear is sharks. When I was younger, I used to be scared of those circle things at the bottom of pools because I thought a shark might come out of one of those.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. I had speech lessons until I was about five because I refused to speak. I'm still an incredibly quiet person now. In fact, it's pretty much impossible for me to talk to people I don't know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. My childhood was mostly filled of soccer (my grandpa played professionally when he was young), toy cars and video games—either war ones or Grand Theft Auto. Can you tell I really liked spending time with my brother?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And here we are, PART TWO! Let's go.<br />
<br />
Firstly, the whole reason I needed a part two. The incredibly lovely and hilarious, VAL of <a href="http://www.theinnocentsmiley.com/" target="_blank">The Innocent Smiley</a>. (Not so sure about the 'innocent' thing). This girl, I tell you, this girl. She honestly makes me cry with laughter, like every single post—there's something that gets me. My favourite thing is the fact that our friendship is mostly like this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-jts6YWu3ijnEqzkYIAQksF_OtSVbAx-FbVRRUL8179nB0_KNTEKEDrXmBrJujjc-vc9vP79n-8sEpRpnohmYKO4OoZ00APhFta6YGn4_nGYVvvdsnd8CYLRWA7Szcw6VZ520ZLoaVzmn/s1600/capture-20150623-142915.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-jts6YWu3ijnEqzkYIAQksF_OtSVbAx-FbVRRUL8179nB0_KNTEKEDrXmBrJujjc-vc9vP79n-8sEpRpnohmYKO4OoZ00APhFta6YGn4_nGYVvvdsnd8CYLRWA7Szcw6VZ520ZLoaVzmn/s1600/capture-20150623-142915.png" /></a></div>
Secondly, Kelly of <a href="http://www.divabooknerd.com/" target="_blank">Diva Booknerd</a>. Kelly is the sassiest, most ridiculous blogger you'll ever follow. I've honestly had the weirdest Twitter conversations with Kelly that revolved around hairy mermaids (?) and stealing Alice in Wonderland bags from people. She's kind of that crazy, but really nice family member that makes you look slightly more sane to the rest of your family.<br />
<br />
Speaking of really nice people...Chiara of <a href="http://delicateeternity.com/" target="_blank">Books for a Delicate Eternity</a>/<a href="http://chiarasullivan.com/blog/" target="_blank">Chiara Sullivan</a> is a gorgeous human being. Chiara's been there for me through some of the suckiest times of my life and she's a great listener and friend, but she's also a really awesome blogger and LGBTQ+ writer. You should definitely check out. (Also, winner of the most gorgeous blog designs, yes?)<br />
<br />
Keeping with the writing them, there's the lovely Inge of <a href="http://bookshelfreflections.com/" target="_blank">Bookshelf Reflections</a>. Inge and I have recently become critique buddies, and the ideas she has for her novels—just wow. Seriously, just read <a href="http://bookshelfreflections.com/tag/writing/" target="_blank">these posts</a> she has about writing and be envious with me. Also, she also talks about <a href="http://bookshelfreflections.com/category/get-real/inge-get-real/" target="_blank">anxiety and depression</a> and I really, really like those posts because one) we don't see them on book blogs very often, two) they're incredibly real. Just, Inge, you guys.<br />
<br />
Do you follow any of these awesome people? Or have you become obsessed with one (or more) of the four I mentioned last time?<br />

Remember me? Haha, yup, it is your other co-blogger Chami who has been missing in action for quite a long time! I know, I know, I need to stop doing this but do not fear, I haven't forgotten about you all. Quite the opposite actually! I've been writing a lot of posts that I plan to deliver when university starts so I won't go too long without posting like I tend to you. Honestly, I've been in kind of a writing slump lately so I've been finding it very difficult to not only write my stories, but blog posts as well. I just really needed a break from writing and I kind of stepped back a little and let my creative juices flow towards my booktube channel on youtube. Alas, I am slowly coming back. So, this is my rough plan for my part of the blog that I've been working on:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Post Three Times A Week</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">- First Post: Display Most Recent Booktube Video</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">- Second Post: Display pre-scheduled post </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">- Third Post: Display blog post written that week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hopefully, this will help me with my very busy life and still allow me to give all the bookish stuff to you guys through multiple mediums. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sorry for the very long wait and for your enjoyment, I've left one of my recent Booktube videos down below.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

I'd like to mention that this is entirely <a href="http://booksothewisp.com/" target="_blank">Lori</a>'s fault because I saw <a href="http://booksothewisp.com/2015/07/05/july-2015-tbr/" target="_blank">hers</a> and I wanted one too.<br />
<br />
I've got two very big book events on this month so my reading is catered towards though. Firstly, I'm going to <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/my-yalc-tbr.html" target="_blank">YALC</a> on the 17th-19th and then <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/the-make-me-read-it-read-thon-voting.html" target="_blank">the Make Me Read It Read-a-thon</a> goes from the 20th to 27th. I've already made TBR's for both of those, so today I'm just sharing a few others I'd like to get to.<br />

<br />
1. The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck<br />
I started this about two weeks back and I was really enjoying it, but then I put it down so I could read some YALC books. I'm about 170 pages or so in.<br />
<br />
2. The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen<br />
I read the first book in the Rizzoli and Isles series, The Surgeon, recently and loved it so I'd really like to read the second book too.<br />
<br />
3. Wild Hearts by Jessica Burkhart<br />
I got sent this by Allen and Unwin a few weeks back and then my absolutely gorgeous dad sent it to me all the way from Australia so I could read it. If you're reading this dad, then I love you!<br />
<br />
4. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee<br />
This is a reread for me, but obviously I want to reread it before...<br />
<br />
5. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee<br />
I know this is out already but I haven't gotten my hands on it yet. I adore TKAM the first time I read it so I'm super psyched for this. I probably won't get to it until the end of the month/start of August.<br />
<br />
So I don't think I'm being too ambitious here. I think I can honestly get through these five books as well as some from YALC and #MakeMeRead. What are you planning to read this July? Now, it's time for me to try and sleep.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Welcome back to another part of my <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Writing%20Resources" target="_blank">writing resources</a> series.
I’m sorry this one took a little longer to come out. I’ve had so much to post
lately that this was the only time I could sneak it in. Never fear though,
there will be two other writing resources posts this month to make up for that!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today I’m continuing with the Diabetes theme, but my other
two posts this month will be about something else. So I’m talking about blood
sugars, which I briefly touched on in my <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/writing-resources-insulin-and-other.html" target="_blank">last post</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Blood sugars’ refers to the level of sugar in your blood.
These are incredibly important because knowing these levels allows us to know
how much insulin we need and how much we need to eat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We learn the levels through finger pricking (there are other
methods, but this is the easiest). On that little machine I mentioned last
time, a number will come up. The range of numbers depends on the machine, mine
goes from 1.5 to 25.0 anything below that is labelled as ‘LO’ and anything
above as ‘HI’—those are not fun to see. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Different doctors will tell you they want different levels.
In my experience, they usually want these levels between about 4 and 8.
Anything below a 4 is considered hypoglycaemia, or low blood sugar. This is
probably what most non-diabetics are aware of. This is when the jellybeans and
the full-sugar drinks come out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hypoglycaemia can be extremely dangerous. Everyone gets
different symptoms and is affected differently. I know some people get no
symptoms at all, I’m the opposite though. Some of the symptoms I get are shaky
hands, headaches, muddled thoughts, overly emotional, rise in body temperature,
lethargy and loss of focus. Basically, I tend to stare at walls a lot and not
really understand what’s going on. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anything above about 12 is considered hyperglycaemia, which
is high blood sugar. This is the worst thing in the world, or at least it is
for me. Like with hypos, I get headaches, muddled thoughts, overly emotional,
rise in body temperature, lethargy and loss of focus but I also get very, very
grumpy and sick. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yep, the symptoms are pretty much exactly the same.
Hypoglycaemia is easily treated, you have some glucose of some kind and a carb
and then you should feel back to normal within about half an hour. Here’s the
fun thing about hyperglycaemia—there’s nothing you can do. You can drink water
and keep up your insulin, but you can still feel like crap for days. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If your sugars are too high, you develop ketones in your
blood. Ketones are the diabetics worst enemy. These things are nearly
impossible to get rid of. They’re the ones that get you admitted to hospital
with a drip in your arm, having saline pumped into your body. (I’m not bitter
about this, though). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maintaining blood sugars is hard. In my opinion, it’s the
hardest part of having diabetes. If you ever plan on writing a diabetic
character, this stuff is incredibly important because this is our pretty much hourly
reminder that we’re different, that we have this stupid disease. It’s just
another thing to remind us that we aren’t like our friends, and that sucks.<o:p></o:p></div>

I think this is pretty self-explanatory, but if you want to see the first update then just click <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/writing-update-1.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Some exciting things have happened since that update. I'm sure most of you know that Camp NaNoWriMo has officially started, and we'll be talking about how I'm going with that in a little bit but first, let's talk about the pre-Camp writing that went on.<br />
<br />
I planned out my entire storyline for my Rebecca retelling, which is what I'm writing for Camp. I actually did this the day after that original post went up in which I said I was in the beginning stages of planning. I also did a chapter-by-chapter, scene-by-scene outline. As you can tell, I'm definitely a 'planner' rather than a 'pantser'. I'm really excited by where it's going at the moment. I even wrote the first 200 words, mainly because I really struggle with starting things and I wanted something to spring off for Camp.<br />
<br />
I've also been writing a few poems, which isn't something I've ever tried out before but am really enjoying. I don't know whether I'll ever share these. At the moment, they're really just something for me to try out.<br />
<br />
Most excitingly though, I wrote another five chapters—7,000 words of my main WIP, Tied Together. I haven't really been writing this one in the last few weeks because I've been stuck, so I was incredibly happy to finally push past that and get more written. This brings up my total word count to 53,000 which is just great!<br />
<br />
The truth is...I haven't written anything for Camp NaNoWriMo so far. I've been in Barcelona this whole week visiting my cousin so I've been exploring the city rather than sticking myself in a very hot room and writing. I know I'll write once I'm back in the UK so I'm not really worried.<br />

The Hungry Ghost Festival by Jen Campbell. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwME97IPvhAXAV_bbgAvOtw" target="_blank">Jen Campbell</a> is one of my absolute favourite booktubers, and this is signed, personally to me and I've read it and it was beautiful and GAH. More on this again lately.</div>

I know that Michelle is still judging me, but what about the rest of you? Is there anything here that you really liked, or really didn't? Also, any suggestions of how the hell I'm going to get these all to Denmark with me would be greatly appreciated.</div>

Today’s post is all about my sort of TBR for the Make Me Read It Read-a-Thon. If you haven’t heard, this read-a-thon is being co-hosted by <a href="http://www.theinnocentsmiley.com/" target="_blank">Val</a> of The Innocent Smiley and I. We announced it a week ago, both <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/announcing-make-me-read-it-read-thon.html" target="_blank">here</a> and on <a href="http://www.theinnocentsmiley.com/2015/06/make-me-read-it-read-thon-sign-ups.html" target="_blank">Val’s blog</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The premise is, you pick a couple of books you really want to read and post a list somewhere then people vote on which of those books you HAVE to read. You try and get through as many on your list during the week, starting with the book that received the most amount of votes. (If you have any ties, then you can pick which you read first). Remember to pick out a few more books that what you think you’ll get through.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Without further ado, let me show you the books I’ve picked out. If you want to learn more about any of these, I've created a <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/6671085?shelf=makemeread" target="_blank">Goodreads shelf</a> for them all.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><br />
</b> <b>1. Best book you’ve read so far in 2015. </b><br />
C - You want me to just choose one? Are you crazy? You must be. Honestly so many books became my favourite and just to list a few: Stolen by Lucy Christopher, Every Breath Series by Ellie Marney, The Grisha Series by Leigh Bardugo, Throne of Glass series and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas.<br />
E - ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/review-burial-rites-by-hannah-kent.html" target="_blank">Burial Rites</a>, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/review-winners-curse-by-marie-rutkoski.html" target="_blank">The Winner's Curse</a>, Frankenstein, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/warning-excessive-fangirling-oh-and.html" target="_blank">MAYBE SOMEDAY</a>, Rat Queens, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/review-every-move-by-ellie-marney.html" target="_blank">Every Move</a>, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/review-in-afterlight-by-alexandra.html" target="_blank">In the Afterlight</a>, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/review-all-truth-thats-in-me-by-julie.html" target="_blank">All the Truth That's In Me</a>, The Lost Hero/The Son of Neptune, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/review-suite-francaise-by-irene.html" target="_blank">SUITE FRANCAISE</a>, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/review-heir-of-fire-by-sarah-j-maas.html" target="_blank">Heir of Fire</a>, Between the Lives, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/review-court-of-thorns-and-roses-by.html" target="_blank">A Court of Thorns and Roses</a>, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/review-bone-season-by-samantha-shannon.html" target="_blank">The Bone Season</a>, The Madness Underneath, The Winner's Crime, THE TENANT OF WILDFELL HALL, Boundless, End of Days and Nimona. I've had a lot of favourites...<br />
<br />
<b>2. Best sequel you've read so far in 2015.</b><br />
C - Every word by Ellie Marney! It was just everything I wanted and more and hold on while i go cry now.<br />
E - Either End of Days by Susan Ee or Boundless by Cynthia Hand. Funny enough, they're both third books in angel series but they are <i>so</i> different and <i>oh my god</i>, I just loved both of them. Also, Every Move by Ellie Marney was kind of the best thing that's ever happened to me.<br />
<br />
<b>3. New release you haven't read yet, but want to.</b><br />
C - An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. THIS IS EVERYWHERE. I NEED TO READ.<br />
E - Conspiracy of Blood and Smoke by Anne Blankman. I've been looking forward to this one for ages and I will have it. I will devour it.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Most anticipated release for the second half of the year.</b><br />
C - Look at Ely's answer (excluding Rick Riordan since I haven't read any of his books)<br />
E - Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas, Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25276272-the-last-king?from_search=true&search_version=service" target="_blank">The Last King</a> by <a href="http://www.millicentnankivell.com/" target="_blank">Millicent Nankivell</a>. BE MINE ALREADY.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Biggest disappointment.</b><br />
C - Unearthly by Cynthia Hand. I AM SORRY. OKAY?<br />
E - Maybe <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/dnf-review-youre-kind-of-girl-i-write.html" target="_blank">You're the Kind of Girl I Write Songs About</a> by Daniel Herborn or Stardust by Neil Gaiman.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Biggest surprise.</b><br />
C - Stolen by Lucy Christopher just stole my flipping soul.<br />
E - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I did not expect to like this at all. I had to study it for Uni so I didn't have high hopes but then it just entirely blew my mind.<br />
<br />
<b>7. Favourite new author. (Debut or new to you)</b><br />
C - I read Sarah J Maas for the first time this year, so there you go!<br />
E - <span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Irène Némirovsky (reasons why below), Samantha Shannon, Anne Bronte, Noelle Stevenson, Angela Carter, Brandon Sanderson...there are many new favourites.</span><br />
<br />
<b>8. Newest fictional crush.</b><br />
C - JAMES MYCROFT. THE DARKLING. NIKOLA. TAMLIN. NEED I SAY MORE?<br />
E - Ridge from Maybe Someday is definitely up there. He's was beautiful, and I just really like how unique he is as a character. I can't say what makes him unique because it'll spoil the twist, but I love him.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Newest favourite character.</b><br />
C - Rowan in Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas. OMG, his sass though.<br />
E - Piper from the Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. I still love Percy and Annabeth, but PIPER. Damn girl, you is badass. I will happily adopt you as my new best friend.<br />
<b><br />
</b> <b>10. Book that made you cry.</b><br />
C - None so far. I am heartless :P.<br />
E - <span style="font-family: inherit;">Suite Fran<span style="color: #382110; line-height: 1.1;">ç</span>aise by <span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Irène Némirovsky—not just because of the book, but because of the author too. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Irène Némirovsky actually died in Auschwitz before she could finish the novel and that ruins me.</span></span><br />
<br />
<b>11. Book that made you happy.</b><br />
C - Oh I reread the Shatter Me series again this year. THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY.<br />
E - The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene. This was my first reread of any of the Nancy Drew books (it's also the first in the series) and I was just so incredibly happy to be back in this world. I just adore Nancy.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>12. Favourite book to film adaptation you saw this year. </b><br />
C - I have seen none. I know. Take a step back-OH WAIT, I SAW INSURGENT. That was not the best though.<br />
E - I finally saw the film of Stardust this year. Actually, before I read the book. I ended up loving the movie way more.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>13. Favourite review you've written this year.</b><br />
C - A Court of Thorns and Roses by the sass-master = Sarah J Maas.<br />
E - I think <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/review-tenant-of-wildfell-hall-by-anne.html" target="_blank">The Tenant of Wildfell Hall</a>, because that review made me come up with a lot of other discussion posts. Also, I just really love that book.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>14. Most beautiful book you've bought so far this year (or received)</b><br />
C - The Daughter Of Smoke and Bone trilogy box set. IT IS BEAUTIFUL.<br />
E - The other day I bought two very beautiful books. Firstly, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr which is just gorgeous to me. Secondly, a really beautiful hardback edition of <a href="https://36.media.tumblr.com/73ca3d64db8652ce217774ae21c3e4f9/tumblr_n00udwJhx31sfexd7o2_500.png" target="_blank">Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales</a>—if I could, I would marry that book.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b>15. What books do you <i>need </i>to read by the end of the year?</b><br />
C - The same answer as above, but I just really really really need to read the Daughter Of Smoke and Bone series.<br />
E - I want to finish the rest of the Heroes of Olympus series, my <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/my-yalc-tbr.html" target="_blank">YALC</a> books...just heaps. So many. *drowns in TBR pile*<br />

Today marks the beginning of Camp NaNoWriMo: July 2015
edition. I’m a big fan of NaNoWriMo, in fact I’m pretty sure I’ve participated
in every November and Camp event since I first discovered it four years ago. So
naturally, I’m participating this month too. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m going to be doing updates throughout the month. I’m not
entirely sure how often they’ll be because I don’t currently have a stable
internet connection, but there will be updates! So I thought today that I’d
just introduce you to the novel I’ll be writing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Firstly, in typical Ely style, it doesn’t have a title yet.
It’s currently being referred to as ‘Rebecca’ in my head, which sort of gives
you an idea as to what it’s about. Maybe. It depends how well you know me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For those of you who haven’t guessed, it’s a modern day
retelling sort of thing of one of my favourite books of all time, Rebecca by
Daphne du Maurier. There a few key differences—mainly the fact this is a New
Adult, but it also has some plot and character differences. Unfortunately, I
can’t share them without spoiling the original and I want you guys to actually
read that because it’s amazing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My main character is Vivian Huntleigh. I introduced her the
other day in my <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/meet-my-main-characters.html" target="_blank">post</a> about main characters, but in case you didn’t read that.
She’s 21 and is studying to be a nurse in London. In fact, she’s almost
finished her undergraduate degree when she returns home to Cornwall to look
after her very sick, and very stubborn grandmother. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Naturally, there’s a guy involved. His name is Mattie
Windland, and in school he was one half of the golden couple. His girlfriend,
who I don’t know whether to name Rebecca or not yet, disappeared a year ago.
Things happen between Viv and Mattie and it focuses on the inner turmoil Viv is
subjected to by the small town they live in and the ever-present
person-who-may-or-may-not-be-called-Rebecca. <o:p></o:p></div>

This is probably the shortest wrap up you'll ever see from me. I decided to cut the TV/Film and Videos section because I have nothing to share with you. I've also permanently removed my 'writing' segment as I'll be doing fortnightly updates from now on, you can see the first of which <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/writing-update-1.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I only read 16 books this month which not as many as usual, but considering the month I've had, I'll let it go. Look at how different the books are though! I've got three different things of poetry on there, some adult fiction...look at my growth, guys! I'm also in the middle of like four books, so hopefully July will be better.</div>

<b>ON THE BLOG</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my most active month on the blog this year. This post will make it 26 posts within June, isn't that crazy? July is already shaping up to be crazy so don't be surprised if you see a post from me every day. I've been finding it really easy to write lately which means more post ideas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, let's talk about the posts that were on the blog this month. I kicked off June with my <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/my-yalc-tbr.html" target="_blank">YALC TBR</a>, which in case you were wondering, is failing miserably. I continued my writing resources with: <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/writing-resources-what-not-to-say-to.html" target="_blank">things you shouldn't say to a Diabetic</a> and a <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/writing-resources-insulin-and-other.html" target="_blank">brief explanation of insulin</a>. I've got more of this on the way in July!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last month I read <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/review-tenant-of-wildfell-hall-by-anne.html" target="_blank">The Tenant of Wildfell Hall</a>, and this month I talked about t<a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/the-bronte-sisters-and-popularity.html" target="_blank">he <span style="font-family: inherit;">Bro</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.5px;">nt</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.5px;">ë sisters and </span></span></a><span style="line-height: 19.5px;"><a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/the-bronte-sisters-and-popularity.html" target="_blank">popularity</a>, as well as <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/books-with-layered-perspectives.html" target="_blank">books with layered perspectives</a></span><span style="line-height: 19.5px;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.5px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.5px;">I focused a lot on authors this month. I talked about <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/authors-i-want-to-read-more-of.html" target="_blank">who I wanted to read more from</a>, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/my-ten-most-read-authors.html" target="_blank">my ten most read</a> and <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/authors-i-want-to-discover.html" target="_blank">authors I haven't read yet, but really want to</a>. I also shared some other random, but exciting things! I talked about <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/four-of-my-favourite-bookish-people.html" target="_blank">my four favourite bookish people</a>, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/some-england-pictures-part-one.html" target="_blank">shared some pictures of my UK trip so far</a>, <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/meet-my-main-characters.html" target="_blank">introduced you all to my protagonists</a> AND <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/announcing-make-me-read-it-read-thon.html" target="_blank">announced the Make Me Read It Read-a-Thon</a>.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>OTHER THINGS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you've been paying attention at all then you know that I'm currently in the UK. It's been great so far, a little stressful at times but mostly good. I'm not going to share a heap of what I've been doing because it's mostly been family stuff this month, but I've got heaps of exciting stuff in July, including getting to meet the amazing <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/meet-my-main-characters.html" target="_blank">Dani</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One another thing I wanted to share before I go is this absolutely lovely part of <a href="http://booksothewisp.com/2015/06/28/week-in-review/" target="_blank">a post</a> that my friend (and one of my favourite bloggers) <a href="http://booksothewisp.com/" target="_blank">Lori</a> wrote about me. I actually cried while reading it. I don't always feel super confident about what I post here, so it really meant a lot to me that Lori would write something like that. Thank you so much, Lori <3 And, if you don't already follow Lori then obviously you're missing out.</div>

I've been meaning to write this post for ages. A post just focusing on my protagonists, on all of my main characters. I've written it three or four times by now, but just never posted it so I thought with Camp NaNoWriMo just around the corner, this would be the perfect time. So without further ado...my babies.</div>

If you’ve read any of my previous posts about my
writing then you probably know of Coralie. She’s my number one love, my little
baby, my fave etc etc. For those of you who don’t know, Coralie is 19 when the
story begins but she’s about 21-22 by the end of her story. She one of the
nicer protagonist I’ve got at the moment. We’re quite similar in some
ones—she’s a reader, she’s close with her family, those sorts of things but
she’s much more confident than I am and much more social. She’s sort of the
person I wish I could be. <o:p></o:p></div>

of my personality. She’s 18 when her story starts but by the end she’s about 22
as well. She’s not quite as nice as Coralie, she’s a little more paranoid,
untrusting but that has a lot to do with the world she lives in. She’s a lot of
fun to write because she’s a lot darker than Coralie ever gets to be, and she
suffers a lot more. <o:p></o:p></div>

Arden is extra special, because as you can see he’s
my only male protagonist. He’s also a bit older than the others at 23-24, he’s
also half-Korean. He works in the 6<sup>th</sup> precinct in New York City, and
he’s relatively new at his job. He worked his ass off to get to where he is,
and so he’s very determined to prove himself. He hasn’t really worked out that
gap between work and home—he’s a complete workaholic. I haven’t really worked
out the kinks in the novel yet, so Arden is sort of half-formed at the moment.</div>

Megan is sort of an idea rather than a person at the
moment. I’ve only written about 2,000 words of her story but she’s so
incredibly unlike me. She’s manipulative, and bitter, and cold and very
ambitious (which is a little more like me). She’s kind of difficult to write in
that aspect. Also, I haven’t entirely worked out her motivation yet but I’m not
in a big rush to write her story at the moment.<o:p></o:p></div>

Vivian is my newest protagonist, so new in fact that
she hasn’t actually appeared on here yet. Like Arden, she’s still sort of
half-formed. She’s about 21 and she was in her third and final year in her
undergraduate nursing course but she had to take the year off to return home to
look after her sick grandmother. Like I said, she’s still coming together. <o:p></o:p></div>

So those are the protagonists I currently have. In <a href="http://abooksofathomless.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/my-three-hundred-and-one-wips-or-close.html" target="_blank">this</a> post, I did talk about a few other WIP ideas I have but those are just that at
the moment, ideas. There isn’t really any plot or character to them yet, but
I’ll update you on them as they grow. <o:p></o:p></div>

The tag was originally created by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Readigans" target="_blank">Readigans</a> and it's just a bunch of questions about books!<br />
<br />

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">D: Do you read more in the morning or at
night?</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">I usually read the most at night, around
6pm until 10/11pm. I try to always read something before I go to bed at night. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">A: Are there any books that changed the
way you thought about things?<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737;">Yes, lots. The one that stands out the
most, which I know I talk about a lot, is The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne
Frank. This book honestly changed my life and just completely ripped out my
soul. I respect Anne Frank so much, and she’s definitely someone I look up
to—both as a writer and as a human being. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">YA, definitely. I love reading other
genres and books too, especially classics, but YA is definitely my number one
love at the moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">I’m very fussy with who I lend my books
out to. At the moment, the only person I trust is Michelle because I know she’ll
look after them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">N: Not everyone likes books, is this a
positive or a negative?</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">I think it’s a negative thing. Books are
such a central point of my life that I actually find it difficult to talk to
people who don’t like to read. What bothers me the most are the people who don’t
even try to read. My dad is not a big reader, but he will try and make it through
at least one sports biography a year. It’s not the best, but he tries! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #373737; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Best condition. Oh my god, best
condition, you have no idea. I actually cover all of my books with contact
because I can’t read anything that isn’t. Okay, I can read other people’s
uncovered books but I like my own to be covered and in perfect condition
(unless it’s second-hand).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Rivers of London is another one of those books that has been on my radar for a while, but I was never really desperate to read. I honestly knew nothing about it, apart from the fact it was set in London. I probably never would have read it, but then I found it for $5 brand new in a bookstore and thought I might as well pick it up. I was a little more interested in reading it after that, but then I found out Ben Aaronovitch was going to be at YALC and now I had to read it.<br />

I’m really glad that I did pick it up eventually because this is a great book. It has three of my favourite elements in a book—magic, detectives and London. Is there anything better in this world? I’ve never actually read anything that had all three things together—it’s usually magic in London or detectives in London, so having all three was kind of all sorts of amazing. I really liked how each thing was dealt with. The magic system was really interesting and unique. The detectives read like actual detectives—I think Ben Aaronovitch must have had some experience with the police because it was just written so believably. London was just brilliant. There were so many little facts and the way in which everything was described just made me feel like I was running around with Peter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Speaking of Peter, he was a great character. In fact, he didn’t even feel like a character but rather like a real person instead. He was funny and realistic and I just really enjoyed reading about him. I really liked the other characters too—Nightingale is amazing and I absolutely adored Beverly. I’m really, really excited to see how they’ll all grow in the rest of the series. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally, the plot. Oh my god, I loved the plot. There’s a couple of different plotlines going on at the same time which don’t really seem connected until towards the end where everything just clicks. They were really well thought out and I absolutely loved how it all came together. I’m very, very interested to see where the rest of the series is going to go from here.<o:p></o:p></div>

I tweeted the other day about how I wanted to host a read-a-thon and now...well, welcome to my announcement for a new read-a-thon of mine. So without further ado, let me reveal the dates/rules for <i><b>THE MAKE ME READ IT READ-A-THON!</b></i><br />
<i><b><br />
</b></i> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://38.media.tumblr.com/61ebc2d3a846311ce77952d6f4d3d474/tumblr_movu6o5TXl1sujyzco5_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://38.media.tumblr.com/61ebc2d3a846311ce77952d6f4d3d474/tumblr_movu6o5TXl1sujyzco5_500.gif" height="180" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Firstly, I'm lucky enough to be hosting this read-a-thon with my absolutely amazing/lovely friend <a href="http://www.theinnocentsmiley.com/" target="_blank">Val</a> of The Innocent Smiley. There's the possibility of another read-a-thon (focusing on WWII) later in the year, but we don't know if anyone would be interested? (Please tell us you'd be interested)<br />
<br />
It's a week long read-a-thon to make sure you can all get through as many books as possible! The week it's running from Monday the 20th of July at 8:00am to Monday the 27th of July at 11:59pm. Like most read-a-thons, this revolves around your timezone. We'll be using the hashtag, #MakeMeRead on all social media. Remember to follow both <a href="https://twitter.com/InnocentSmileyx" target="_blank">Val</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/elysiumjayne" target="_blank">I</a> on Twitter for updates!<br />
<br />
What's this read-a-thon about? Welllll, if you're a blogger, booktuber, booklr, bookstagram-er or whatever else, I'm sure you've been told that you <b>HAVE</b> to read '<i>that</i>' book. That's the premise of this read-a-thon...<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">Need more details? Here you go.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Look at the books you own, either physical, e-book or ones you’ve borrowed from the library and pick out a few you really want to read, or feel like you should read. It’s up to you how many you pick, personally I’d pick a few more than you expect to be able to read in a week. Example: if you think you’ll only read two, pick out five books or if you think you can read seven, pick out ten. <o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br />
</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Make a list of these books on your blog, or make a video, or a Goodreads shelf or post a picture on Instagram—whatever is easiest for you. Then get friends, other bloggers/booktubers etc. to vote on which books you HAVE to read out of that list.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">When the read-a-thon comes along, you read the books in the order of most votes. For example, if one book gets 10 votes—you read that first, then the one that got 7 and so on. The goal is to read as many as possible.</span><span style="color: #4c1130;"><o:p></o:p></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

(She doesn't deserve them since she has ARCs of Passenger and The Rest of Us Just Live Here *grumbles*) I warn you, it's mostly countryside right now but that'll change verrrry soon.<br />
