BookTubeAThon Day 2 Wrap Up
BookTubeAThon day 2 has ended, and I think I did really good since I completed two challenges! I completed a book with red on the cover and a book to movie adaptation. That book being Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. I decided that since I had planned eight books that it might be hard to finish the challenge a book to movie adaptation, so instead of reading Carrie by Stephen King, I decided to knock out two challenges with Warm bodies. If I have time I might still read it. Warm Bodies is 239 pages, not enough to complete the 300 pages a day challenge, so I decided to pick the start and finish a series. The series that I started was The Nine Lives of Chloe King by Liz Braswell. I read only 61 pages, so my daily total went to 300. You will be getting a review soon on Warm Bodies. I am currently reading The Fallen in The Nine Lives of Chloe King

BookTubeAThon: Day 1 Wrap Up
Hey guys,
BookTubeAthon Day 1 is over! I have to say I did really good. I was able to complete one challenge, that being read a book with pictures. The book I read was Flawed Dogs by Berkley Breathed, which was 216 pages. There was also a challenge to read 7 books and/or 300 pages per day, and since I wanted to complete 300 pages per day I decided to read Onyx, by Jennifer L. Armentrout, since I am hosting the Lux series read-a-long. I read 105 pages of it (pages 20-125). So I read 321 pages and completed one book. I will not have a review on Flawed dogs because it was more of a children's book, but I did very much like the book. I did find some part a bit gross and some of the pictures, but I still do believe it was a good children's book and give it 4 stars. I am currently reading Warm Bodies by Issac Marion.
FINISHED: CURRENTLY READING:

Pages: 391
Price: $12.99 - 17.99
Dystopian Series
Summary
Katniss Everdeen has survived The Hunger Games, along with her 'Star-crossed' lover Peeta Mellark. Coming back should be easy for her, but with Peeta ignoring her and Gale, her long time friend, away with a new job, it's not that easy.
But that is not the only thing that is making her unhappy. The Victory Tour which awakens her nightmares from the games. Along the Victory Tour something else arises, rebellions against the capital and they are all because of the two 'Star-crossed' lovers. The districts did not see their victory as an act of rebellion. President Snow must stop these rebellions, so he calls on Katniss and Peeta to make the districts believe it was an act of love. When that fails he must do something more cruel.
This year is the Quarter Quell and President Snow has made this year very special. He has called all victories to be reaped. This means Katniss will be going back into the games along with Haymitch or Peeta. This year the games will be harder. Who will win this years Hunger Games?
My View
So this was my second time trying to read this book. I remember when my mother got it for me, she had been worried The Hunger Games would be to scary for me, but after I read it I begged her for the 2nd book. She got me the hard cover for Christmas, which now drives me insane because the rest of the series is in paperback. I was so happy! I began reading it an found it boring. I put it down. That was 2012 and I read it in 2014.
I hate to tell this to you guys, but I watched the movie before I read it *gasp*, twice. I wanted to read it over spring break, that first Monday, but I watched the movie. Technically I read it in a day, though, I read two pages that Thursday and the rest that Friday. So I hope that makes you feel better.
This book was hard for me to get through. I know a lot of people say that it is the best book in the trilogy, but for me it was not. The beginning was all about the Victory Tour, which I did not care about, all I wanted was the games. And that is what got me into the book. They were better than the first games. But that ending! I want to start Mockingjay, but I heard spoilers and it ruined the book for me, stop posting spoilers! So overall it was a good book not my favorite out of the series, but the movie did live up to it! Can't wait for the last book and the Mockingjay movie!
