Unhaul vs Bookhaul || BOOKTUBE

Hey fellow blog viewers!

So Ely and I are mostly twinning all the time. We have the same opinion on a lot of books, book characters, both have booktube and we finish each others... SANDWICHES. However, sometimes Ely "Unhauls" her books on her channels while I "Haul" books on my channel. So check them out!

Bookentine Read-a-thon Announcement

I've been posting reviews for the last two days and I've got another one (at least) to go up, but I thought I'd mix it up a little today with a video! I think the video is pretty self explanatory so I'll just leave you all to it!


If you have any question, feel free to ask. Otherwise, I hope some of you can join in!

The Impossibly Large TBR (+ #ProjectTBR)



Having a big TBR pile is one of those things that comes with being a booklover, especially after finding booktube and other book blogs. There are so many books out there in this world that is’ hard to escape them.

As a person who reads a big selection of genres, I kind of have a serious problem. But that is where #ProjectTBR comes in – I’m not going to explain it in this post, instead just watch this video I made about it.



Since I have more time/space here, I’m going to talk a little about some goals within the project.

By July/August 2015 (which is when I leave for the exchange I mentioned), I’d like to be able to fit all of my TBR books onto the one bookshelf. Currently, my books are spread over four different bookshelves in my house – they’re mixed in with my read books, as well the (very) few books that my dad and brother own. I’d like them to all fit in the one bookshelf in my room.

I’m going to implement the ’10 for 1’ rule. Basically, for every ten books I read (only from the books I own, so no library books) I’m allowed to buy 1. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stick to this, but I’m going to try anyway.

Finally, I also want to use the ‘100 page’ rule, meaning if I’m reading a book – if I’m not enjoying it by page 100 and I have no motivation to continue, then it’s getting added to my unhaul pile.

So there you go! Those are my goals for #ProjectTBR. Are any of you joining in?

THE CHRISTMAS SONG BOOK TAG!

Hey everyone!

So recently I posted a video on my book tube channel called, "The Christmas Song Book Tag". I know that it is well after Christmas but we all know Christmas is always. Always and forever. At least, we wish it was!


Hope you enjoy!

BOOKTUBING!

Hey Everyone!

So quick side note but I'm still trying to figure out how to reply to other people's comments with the new blog design through blogger so please don't think I'm ignoring those comments! I read everyone of them and they are all just as beautiful as the last ones. Uh, wasn't that cheesy haha.

Anyway! I am happy to say that I'm back on the Youtube with a new book channel called: Readlikewildfire


If you all could check out the newest video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEZ4-sYiXQg
then I would love you forever!

Love Chami

P.s, I really need to get use to the blog design thing! Sorry! I'll fix my posts as soon as I can!

UPDATE: Booktube and Other Things

Hi guys! It's been a while since I did one of these, but it's time for an update today.

I don't know whether you've noticed but I've been posting every day for the last five days. Even when Chami and I were most active, we never posted every single day but I've noticed that quite a few blogs do it so I thought I'd try it myself. I'm not going to promise that this will be a constant thing, but I'm going to try and post every single day until the end of this month just to see how it goes.

What's next? Booktube! I've been booktubing on and off for a couple of months now. I'm not a particularly interesting booktuber- I only really post book hauls, but I absolutely love doing it. I'm hoping to use my channel and this blog in conjunction with one another in the future. Oh, and you can find my channel here. I wanted to bring this up now because once Chami has finished her exams, we're hoping to make some awesome bookish videos together (and I wanted to make you guys excited about that).

(That better be all of you, right now.)

Reading-wise, I'm sort of in a slump but not really. I've actually been hanging out with friends a lot the past couple of weeks so I haven't really had much time to read and I'm still struggling to find something that holds my attention. I've started Heir of Fire but I'm reading it quite slowly because I don't know if I'll be able to handle it- I just have a lot of feels!

So the reading leads me into my next part which is book buying. I've placed myself on book buying ban since coming back from Sydney. It's my birthday at the beginning of October so I'm trying to hold myself off from getting anything until then, but if things go really well I'd like to resist buying books until the end of October, after my exams. We'll see how that turns out though.

Now onto the massively exciting part of this post...COLLABS. I'm lucky enough to being collabing with two of my bestest blogging buddies this month and I am SO excited. Firstly, Chiara of Books for a Delicate Eternity and I will be doing a discussion post on Every Breath and Every Word by Ellie Marney. I don't know exactly when this will be going up yet or the finer details of the post but it's going to be awesome! Even more exciting than that (I do love Chiara, very very much), Ebony of Daring Damsels and I are going a little bit nuts together this month. We have three different collabs this month - we're doing a part two of our Cover Comparisons, Ebony will be joining me for my new Colour Schemes feature and we're also hosting a read-a-long for The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson (more on that later). On top of all of that, this Friday we're going to see Les Mis together which is going to be seriously brilliant.

How exciting is all of that? And yes, that is how I feel right now. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy all this exciting stuff when it happens! Tell me about some of the awesome things in your life right now...(or not so exciting)
