Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon Opening Meme & Hour 3 Update!

Opening Meme:
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
The United States
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Either Doctor Sleep by Stephen King or The Child Thief by Brom.
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Popcorn
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
I'm going to be graduating this June and then I'm off to college. I like writing and blogging just as much as reading. I sadly don't have cute pets. I started my blog for the #readathon last October and I've loved working on this blog since then!
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?
I did participate in last years read-a-thon and I will take breaks when I need them, which I didn't do last year.

Hour 3 Update:
Sadly, I missed two hours of the read-a-thon because I slept through my alarm, but that is okay! I am ready to read! Now I got to make coffee and read Doctor Sleep by Stephen King! Hope you all are enjoying your day!

Biannual Bibliothon TBR!

Once again it's time for the summer part of the Biannual Bibliothon! This portion of the read-a-thon runs from July 3rd to July 9th.

The hosts of this read-a-thon came up with several reading and video challenges and I will link their youtube videos about both below.

Severance by Michael Pristsos and Jessica Mastroakos

My Rating: 3.5/5 Stars Average Rating: 3.67 Stars Pages: 380 ISBN-13: 9871500392710 *I received a free copy of Severance in exchange for an honest review* "To be born Gaian is to be born gifted. That wasn’t always true, but as more infants were born with special talents of the mind, what was once considered abnormal became the majority. The ungifted were sent to Thalassa, an island chain off the coast of the mainland. These orphans grew up in a vassal kingdom forced to pay dues to its overseers.  In Severance, the first book of The Sovereign, a Thalassan soldier and orphan gets wind of a plot against his island home and wages war against its oppressors. A captain’s daughter fights for a love across the cultural divide. An assassin’s need for power takes him on a bloody journey throughout both lands. And a princess tells the biggest lie in her nation’s history, protecting her family’s right to rule."- Goodreads  Severance was a good novel about the struggles tho...

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...
