Booktube-A-Thon 2015: Wrap Up!

So it is now, Monday August 10th 2015 and it is twelve o'clock in the afternoon where I am (Well it was when I wrote this...but I forgot to upload it..sorry!!), which means the Booktube-a-thon is over...and I didn't read to the best of my ability for several reasons. One people kept coming over to my house and two I was out and about doing things with friends and my boyfriend before I leave for my first year of college. I'm sad that I didn't read as much as I would have liked, but I had fun and I did read the main book I wanted to read. So on with the update!

I started off the read-a-thon reading the Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. Okay, it was more like I continued reading it since I was on page 426, but eh technicalities :P I finished this on the third day and it was awesome! I loved it and would recommend it for everyone, who isn't a young child... Anyway I read a total of 496 pages for this book! :D

Then I started listening to Soul Meaning by A.D. Starrling and I listened to about an hour and a half of it. I stopped listening for now, but I'll be picking it back up later this month.

Lastly, I read a totally of....20 pages of A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki! I know I read so much! Haha, but that is all I have for you guys. I hope you had an amazing week!

P.S I'm super sorry I did not upload this when I first wrote it! I meant to then I got distracted my pre-college stuff!

Night of All Evil by J.M. Shorney

My Rating: 3/5 stars Average Rating: 4/5 stars Format: ebook ISBN13: 9781310806902 I received a free copy in exchange for a honest review from AuthorAmp.com Night of All Evil was a good gothic horror novel about a witch named Freya that has a dark past that comes back to haunt her and her family. Freya was my favorite character and I really enjoyed reading from her point of view. The thing I liked about her was how she acted in the situations she is placed in. She also is just an interesting person that also happens to be a super powerful witch, which is pretty cool. In fact once I started this novel, I had a hard time putting it down. While I really enjoyed reading the story, the character development was just okay and it was kind of predictable. However, it was still a good read that grabbed my attention and kept me entertained.                        ...

Lost Time: The Adventure Begins by Norbert Monfort

⭐️ My Rating: 1/5 Stars Pages: 70 ISBN:  9781500391904 *I received a free copy of Lost Time: The Adventure Begins in exchange for a honest review* " Robert Ridgely was a young professional living a rather mundane existence, but one he enjoyed. One day, Robert awakes to find he can't remember how he arrived at his destination. The more he finds out about what happened, the more confused he gets and the more time he realizes he's lost from his memory. As Robert persists, eventually he is drawn into an adventure that would change his life forever and place him on a path that he could never have imagined." -Goodreads I really wanted to like this book, but I ended up actually hating it. The biggest problem I had was that there is no character development and very little world building. Due to this, I couldn't connect or grow to like the characters.  In fact, I kinda disliked them all and didn't care about their lives. If this story was longer and made...
