Here it is, my first YouTube video!
Today I talk about some little tips and tricks for starting your Bookstagram account!
Hi everyone, I can't believe I am finally sharing this video with you!! I am so excited to finally reveal my TBR Game, DART ATTACK, and cannot wait to continue this every month going forward!
Hi everyone, I'm here today to tell you about the 17 super exciting books I've hauled in the past month!
I am thrilled today to be sharing my Musical Theatre Book Tag! I had so much fun creating this and can't wait to see everyone's responses!
Hi everyone, I had such a successful reading week this week, with some really amazing books! And somehow I completed the #MakeYourMythTaker readathon!
June was a great reading month with a huge variety of books, so I am here to talk about them all!
I thought I would share with you the process I took to create my DART ATTACK TBR game board! IT was a long process but really fun, and I love the result.
This past weekend I took part in Becca's Bookoplathon 48hr Readathon and I had so much fun with it!
I am obsessed with stats and graphs so thought it would be fun to go into some detailed stats of my reading from the first half of this year! Hope you enjoy!
I can't believe I am at this point already, but to celebrate hitting 500 subscribers I thought I'd answer some of your questions!
I was having a weird week, so what better to do than read a lot of cute YA contemporary!!
Today I am doing the Nope Trope Book Tag, a super fun book tag that is based off cringey tropes frequently found in books!
I attempted the Raedathon Round 3 24 Hour redathon... it did not go to plan!
I only got 9 books this month so much more reasonable, and also therefore a more sensible length video!
Here is the second episode of DART ATTACK, my TBR Game! This month it went so, SO wrong!! But it was funny so I guess it is worth it! Wish me luck reading all these books!
Here is a run through of all the series which I need to continue reading!
I had such an amazing few weeks and I hope you enjoy seeing what I've been up to!
I had such a good reading month this month and can't wait to tell you all about all the books!
To celebrate hitting 1k subscribers I am hosting a liveshow with some of my best bookish friends to play some bookish games and just generally have a fun time!
Hi everyone! I have seen this challenge circulating around booktube over the years so thought I would give it a go!
Hi everyone! I had so much fun filming this one! I hope you enjoy watching!
I have been looking forward to this book for so long, and I can't quite comprehend that I have already been able to read it! But this is a new favourite book for me, and I am excited to share all my thoughts with you!
Today I thought I'd tell you all about the books I am most excited for that are coming out in the rest of 2020!
I took part in the Raeadthon 24 hour readathon on 22nd August and for once it was a success!! I read so much and I am so proud!
These are all the books which are my top priority to get through before the end of 2020!
This month DART ATTACK was a little different as I am taking part in @Becca and The Books Bookoplathon! Watch to find out how it went! And watch to the end to see my mum give it a go as well!
Hi everyone, today I am taking you through all the books I bought in August, and yet again there are far too many!!
I didn't read as much as I would have liked this month, but nonetheless, I read some good books!
Hello, I am hosting the first 24 hour readathon for Becca's Bookoplathon readathon that is happening throughout the month of September! So join me and somevery special guests (including the host herself!!) for some live reading sprints so we can all get some great reading done!
Welcome to the club! We are a monthly book club dedicated to reading and promoting queer fantasy & sci-fi books ????️???? Our august pick was The City We Became by NK Jemisin!
I hosted my first ever 24 hour readathon, and I had the best time!! It was the first 24 hour readathon for @Becca and The Books readathon, Bookoplathon!
I thought this tag looked so fun, and I actually found it really interesting discussing all these different topics about buying books!
I love romance books, but I also just love a romance storyline in any book! So in this video, I talk you through my favourite romance books and the tropes I love, and then recommend a variety of books (fantasy, YA contemporary and more) that feature those tropes!!
I have finally accepted that I am in an awful reading slump, and so I am completely abandoning my September TBR and making a new one! I did some more rolls for @Becca and The Books Bookoplathon and fingers crossed I read them this time!
I couldn't resist giving this one a go as I had so much fun last time! I love scavenger hunts, so these challenges are my favourite things!
I absolutely love K-pop, and so with a few books coming out recently with K-pop as a central focus, I couldn't resist reading them all!! And I may have gone off topic a few times and just spoken about my love for K-pop!
Hi everyone, today I thought I would talk to you all about how I rate and annotate my books! I have spent far too long thinking about these things, so I thought I should share it!
Was DART ATTACK actually not to mean to me for once!? Is it a miracle!? Or am I just finally learning to aim (kind of!)? You will have to watch to find out!
I really didn't get too many books (for me) this month, and I am kind of proud! But I already know I have far too many coming next month... I hope you enjoy this quick little haul!
I did not have a great reading month this month, but I definitely had a wide variety of books and opinions, so watch to find out what I read!
After a not great reading month, and a total failure of vlogging, I finally managed to vlog for the last week or so! I hope you enjoy!
Over 2 years ago I made a 5 star predictions video, time to see if my predictions were right, and if I have even read the books!!
I love reading books within 24 hours but it isn't something I do often! However, I have been in a reading slump recently and this has been the best way I found to motivate myself to read, so why not do it for 7 days in a row...
This is such a fun tag, thank you to India for tagging me!
I am so excited to announce that I am hosting a reading for the Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy by Laini Taylor! I love this series so much, so along with some amazing hosts, we are all going to read the series together!
After reacting to my previous 5 star predictions I thought now was the time to do some more!! We will find out soon if I was right!
This week has been a mix of so many things, the least of which was reading!! But I wanted to share it with you anyway as lots of other fun things were going on!!
This is such a fun tag and about such an interesting topic! I hope you enjoy!
For the first time ever, DART ATTACK was actually nice to me!? I did not expect that!
I am finally making my way out of my reading slump, and I think my reading this month really reflects that!!
I bought too many books... But I don't feel remotely bad about it!
November started off super strong as a reading month, so watch to see what I am reading!
It is that time again, running around my room madly and realising I know nothing about my books!
I think my reading may change quite dramatically in the second half of this month, so I thought I would update you all on how it is going and what is coming up!
This was an interesting and eventful to say the least, but it did mean I didn't read quite as much as I wanted! But oh well, I am still happy with what I accomplished!
I have a lot of books on my TBR, and I am excited to read all of them, but some of them I keep putting off because I am just so intimidated! SO here is a list of the books I am most scared of!
This is such a fun little book tag to talk about some reading plans for the last few weeks of the year!
I had a very interesting reading week this week, and I read some very highly anticipated books, with some very unexpected reactions!!
This is such a fun tag to talk all about my love of fantasy books, and let you all know how I got into reading fantasy in the first place!
December is here, and so it is time for the Christmas special of DART ATTACK! This was such a fun month and I can't wait to gift books to some of you wonderful people!!
I had such a fun week this week, finishing ACOMAF, rereading a favourite book, and the organising and hosting a 24 hour readathon at the last minute!?
I can't believe, this far into 2020, that this month brought the first official DNF I have had, although I still don't wait to admit I have DNFed... maybe I will pick it back up!
In a recent video I asked you all to drop your wishlists and I would gift some of you some books! Well, I did just that, and filmed it! Watch me go through some of your wishlists and get very excited over buying you presents!!
Welcome to the club! We are a monthly book club dedicated to reading and promoting queer fantasy & sci-fi books ????️???? Our November pick was The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart!
The first liveshow is here! Tonight we are discussing Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor! The first section will be spoiler free, so you are safe to watch even if you have not read/finished the book!
I really didn't read very much this week, but I did get quite a few exciting books!! So this is basically just one big book haul, but it was good fun!
So I own way too many books, and I am moving into a pretty small flat, so it required some serious thought to work out which books to take!! But I did finally work it out, so watch my process and listen to me explain why I chose the books I did (and justify taking lots I don't need!)
I don't have huge plans for 2021, but I do have some goals in mind that I would like to achieve so I thought I would share them with you!
Anyone here knows I am a huge fan of Laini Taylor, so when this box was announced I knew I had to get it!!
Having completed almost zero series in 2020 I am now determined to get through a lot more in 2021, so here are the series that I will be prioritising, and hopefully reading most of in 2021!
I love having a reading journal, and thought I would change up my set up this year and so thought I'd show you!!
I can't believe I finally have my own apartment!! It was a lengthy process from deciding to move to finally being sorted, but the chaos of this vlog covers all of that!
Moving into a new flat means new bookshelves!! I loved organising these, and really love how they turned out!! I hope you like them too!
I can't believe it is already 2021 (well... almost!) but that therefore means it is time to play DART ATTACK to choose my January TBR!! Sorry for the small changes this month, hopefully all will be back to normal soon!
I was incredibly lucky to receive a lot of books this month, so why not haul them all! Thank you so much to every single person who gifted me a book!
There are so many amazing books coming out in 2021, so I thought doing just a list of the LGBTQ+ ones I was most interested in would narrow it down a bit, but I still ended up with 50 books to talk about!! So here you go!!
I can't believe I finally get to announce this! Starting right now, is the new book club BURNED BOOKS CLUB with @Spoopyhol, focussed on reading dystopian stories from classics to modern takes! I am also announcing a year-long video series I will be doing all about reading dystopian books that I think I will love and vlogging the whole experience! Expect recommendation videos, discussions, popular series vlog, and themed vlogs!
Here it is, the official list of my favourite books I read in 2020! I couldn't rank them because I love them all for such different reasons, but I did at least tell you my top two... that is close enough!!
My worst books of 2020... here we go! Many of these are actually just books I was sorely disappointed by, as luckily there weren't too many books that I didn't enjoy! But watch to find out what those were...
The end of 2020 has finally happened, and so I thought I would wrap up the final books I read!! I ended the year on a pretty good reading month, so watch to find out what I read and what I thought of them all!
As with every year there are so so many books I want to get to, but I have narrowed down my list to the 10 which are my absolute highest priority and should DEFINITELY be read in 2021! (wait for the reaction video next year where I've read none of them...????)
Well you guys really came through with the questions!! I hope my answers are what you wanted, we definitely got into some juicy topics!!
I cannot believe that so many of you are so incredibly kind, but I want you to know how much I appreciate it! It means the world, thank you so much to every single person who has ever gifted me something!
The first reading vlog for THE DYSTOPIA PROJECT is here! This time I am reading the Feverwake Duology by Victoria Lee, as well as the two companion novellas!
I had by far my luckiest month so far, but I am going to be dead in March, that's for sure!!
I actually completed Polarthon!? I had such a good week reading 3 books, and also buying far too many... oops!
I can't actually believe that I managed to read so much this month! With starting a new job and everything else going on, I am incredibly proud of this!!
This was definitely not the smoothest week, but I got through it and actually managed to fit in some decent reading as well! I am a bit messy in this vlog, but it is funny so why not post it on the internet!? ????
I am going to need some serious luck and determination to get through the rest of my February TBR... Help!!
With DoSaBalong coming to an end I thought I would wrap-up my thoughts on the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series, and also announce another readalong that is kicking off, STRANGEalong!!
I cannot even begin to get my head around how ridiculous the last week has been... From a chaotic start to Monday, all the way through to getting surgery on Friday!? Who even knows! But it is done and all is good, so enjoy watching the choas happen right before your eyes!
I can't believe that even after some chaos and some truly mad prompts I actually ended up with a reasonable TBR that I am super excited about!? That is as good as it gets!
The first every Burned Books Club liveshow!! Woo! Today we will be discussing BATTLE ROYALE by Koushun Takami!
Soooo I have no idea what happened this week, but somehow I really got into my reading groove and ended up reading 6 books!? I am not complaining, but I am definitely confused!!
I am sp happy with how my reading went in February!! Watch to find out what I read, and what I thought of all the books!
The time has come to unbox the February box from Illumicrate!! I love these boxes so much and I am OBSESSED with the book that came in this one!
How did I end up with 27 books this month!? I have no idea but I am still very excited about it!!
So somehow I already have my most anticipated release of 2021 in my hands!? How I don't know (well, because the wonderful people at Tor are the best, that's why!) But I read it and LOVED it, so watch to see my thoughts as I read!
I have some pretty strong views on spoilers, so loved discussing it in this video!
After years of back and forth, here is where I am at with bookstagram, and the process I went through to fall back in love with it!!
Welcome to the club! We are a monthly book club dedicated to reading and promoting queer fantasy & sci-fi books ????️???? Our February pick was The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson!
I have love reading novellas for a very long time, but let's finally put it to the test! Do I love ALL Tor novellas, or am I actually really picky? So watch me read 8 books in a week and figure it out once and for all!
I absolutely love readathons, especially really intense short ones! But after doing so many over the years I thought I would share some of my top tips for survival, as well as a huge list of recommendations for books that have worked really well for me before as quick reads!
Watch us play some silly games, and whoever loses has to switch what book they are reading! Feel free to choose a team and switch along with us!
This past weekend was the 48hr LIVE EDITION Bookoplathon, and I had such a good time! Watch the vlog to follow the chaos and find out how I did!
Well, it had been going too well for too long, of course eventually DART ATTACK was going to have to go back to being difficult ????
Every month I try so hard to not haul too many books, and yet here we are again! How does this keep happening!?
A couple people have asked about my makeup recently so here is a really chaotic video of me attempting to do my makeup and tell you about it whilst I react to assumptions you all submitted!
I have no idea how I read so many books in March but I am thrilled about it!!
Second attempt at the stream as the first one broke!
Raedathon is always the best time and this was no exception! I somehow managed to get through 3 whole books in this day, including a very chonky fantasy!!
I love my TBR Game, and love having a TBR, but I am a mood reader! How the hell does that work!? Surely that makes no sense at all!? Watch to find my explanation and how I think TBRs and mood reading can complement one another!!
We all love stats here, so let's do some detailed stats deep dives and have a look back at how my reading has gone for the past 3 months!!
I started filming this vlog at the end of March, with the plan for it to cover 2 weeks! It has been 4 weeks and somehow I only just decided to end it!? Safe to say vlogging has been a little erratic recently!
I absolutely love music, it is one of my biggest passions, so I put my favourites playlist on shuffle and recommended books based on what came up!!
THE MOST CHAOTIC DART ATTACK EVER!! | TBR Game (May 2021)
April was really not the best reading month for me, but it was okay! There were some pretty good books mixed in!
I swear I thought I wouldn't have many books to haul this month, but a good few arrived in the past week, and here we are ????
Welcome to the club! We are a monthly book club dedicated to reading and promoting queer fantasy & sci-fi books ????️???? Our April pick was Black Wings Beating by Alex London!
I have been wanting to read some LGBTQ+ Dystopians books for such a long time, and finally got around to it, and WOW did I have a good time!
Long readathons can be super tough! So here are some of my tips and tricks for surviving them and staying productive throughout!
Whateverthon starts so soon! And I have seen a few people struggling with finding books that they think resemble pride flags, so here is a load of suggestions, and BONUS all of the books are LGBTQ!
There is a lot going on at the moment, so here is an update of what my life is going to look like for the near future, and what impact that will have on reading, content, and everything else!
A special edition of DART ATTACK today because it is both a TBR Game and also picking my TBR (kinda) for my first ever readathon, Whateverthon!! ????✨
Let's make the most of our Sunday morning! Whether that means chilling in bed and reading, or getting up and getting on with lots of things, it doesn't matter! It is just good to use our time! But this time, for #DoTheThingAThon hosted by @A Frolic Through Fiction
Welcome to Whatever-You-Want-A-Thon!! ????✨????✨????✨ Join us to officially kick-off the readathon and get your first bit of reading in!!!
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! I never could have imagined this is what my birthday would bring, but I am truly so appreciative!!
I have been doing this for a year... somehow! So let's celebrate by doing the Booktub Birthday Tag created by Average Joe Reads (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4lm...)
I had the most incredible week, reading loads, kicking off whateverthon, and FINALLY meeting my booktube friends! Sorry for the chaos!
Not the best reading month but also not the worst, so it is what it is!!
I still honestly can't believe that I met these lovely ladies, and that we all got to film together!?
Who won? Let's find out!
I can't believe that DART ATTACK is a year old, and that I forgot to even mention it in the video ????♀️ But either way, I am so excited for what I got as my TBR this month, and the new rules I now have!!
How is my reading going so far this year? Watch and find out!
Did I read a lot in June? Nope! Did I somehow get through a lot of books!? Yup!!
The third Burned Books Club liveshow!! Woo! Today we will be discussing DOCILE by KM Szapara, one of my favourite books!!
I know August, like every month at the moment, is going to be incredibly busy, so I thought I would limit how many books I am choosing... someone tell me how I ended up doing so many throws!?!?
Somehow we are here again, with me getting wayyy too many books over the past few months... but they are all so stunning and I am so excited for them all!
New bookshelves!! I love getting new shelves and getting the chance to reorganise (and yet somehow they are full again already... help!)
So I turned my phone off for 8 hours, the longest I have been without it for as long as I can remember, and it turns out that when I'm not distracted I can actually read... a lot!? A whole day dedicated to a cosy reading and relaxing, heaven!!
Inspired by @BooksandLala I am telling you all about some really small, niche aspects of books that can make me fall in love so fast!
Fantasy has been my favourite genre for as long as I can remember, but I haven't been able to read it for ages! I am starting to wonder if I even like the genre anymore! But hopefully it is just a temporary (although long) genre slump!
It is that time again, DART ATTACK X Bookoplathon!!! One of my favourite months is September because of bookoplathon and this means I get to throw darts at a different board!!! Thank you to @Becca and The Books for creating this readathon, as always it is the most fun!
July and August weren't my best reading months and I am tired human at the moment, but let's chat about all the books I have read recently! Some new favourites and some very disappointing reads.
I have been to some very cool places over the past month or so, so let's haul the books I got from those places!! ✨
The end of the year is really getting close now, but I am even closer to my goal! I have truly got back into my reading mojo and am flying through some really tough books for me, and having a great time!
I am so so excited to finally be bringing DART ATTACK back, I have missed playing this game so much! It may not be picking my TBR this month, but nonetheless it got up to its usual mischief!!
My final reading vlog of 2021!! I may not have achieved as much as I planned with Christmas getting in the way, but I got an amazing Christmas Haul and also watched some gorgeous fireworks to see in the new year!!
2021 was an interesting year, and I have many thoughts about how both reading and my channel went! So let's do some reflecting, and find out whether I managed to meet the goals I set at the beginning of last year!!
A new reading game? Fun!
I hope 2022 will be better than 2021 for making content, but the last thing I want to do is make promises, so here are some realistic expectations and plans for what content you will be seeing from me this year!!
I have many, MANY books that I own and haven't read yet! So here is a rundown of all of those books! Please comment below with which ones you think I should read first!
There were so many amazing books released in 2021 and I was meant to have read so many more of them than I did, but such is life! Hopefully I can get through a few more this week!
My year started a little but ropey in some ways, so I took a Sunday and decided to change that!! Reading over 500 pages and getting my life in order, all in one day!
The first couple weeks of 2022 have been so good for my reading, and I read some absolutely phenomenal books! So here is basically an hour-long monologue of my thoughts on all those books, and so much other stuff I don't even know!!
DART ATTACK is BACK!!! I may not be picking specific books for a TBR this year, but that makes it even more fun as then we can have PILES OF POSSIBILITIES!!!
I don't even know how I have been reading this month, but I am absolutely loving it!! It may be long again but hey, when you read this many books there is lots to say!
I don't even know how I ended up reading so much, but I am damn proud!
I ticked off a few DART ATTACK prompts this past weekend by doing a cozy reading night with a random book chosen by DART ATTACK!
Well, these two weeks were a bit of a ride!! So much was going on, but not that much reading!!!
After a very successful first two months let's wrap it up and reset the board for the future!!
As I have mentioned, I am still on the edge of a reading slump, so what better way to get out of it than to read two HIGHLY anticipated releases that I have been waiting for! Both fantastic reads, and a truly great weekend!
I have a very old 5 star predictions video on my channel, but my taste has changed so much since then I just felt it was time to make a new one!!
I haven't done sprints in AGES but thought it would be fun to do some tonight!
Like every bookworm I am in the middle of so many series, so here is a comprehensive list of them and which ones I am planning to get to first!
Realmathon is coming up SO SOON now and I am so excited to be heading up team Serane, and we will be focussing on Whimsical Fantasy! So if you're struggling for ideas of what to read, here are far too many options!
DART ATTACK is back to pick out my April and May reads! I don't know how but somehow DART ATTACK did exactly what I wanted and was still really difficult!? Who knows!
A while ago I made a 5 Star Predictions video so I thought I would read a few of them and see if I know my own reading taste, and as you will see it is questionable at best!!
After some exceedingly successful reading months, it has left me with 23 books to wrap up in one video... ???? sooo why not make it challenging, one minute maximum for each book! I may not have totally followed it but it was super fun to give it a go!
I have been having a rough time recently and so I decided to take a few days and really just focus on making myself happy! Reading a new favourite, watching Bridgerton, going out book shopping, all the things I love doing!
I somehow finished my April/May Dar Attack prompts super early, so why not do a bonus round just for fun!
