{Summer BookTube-A-Thon #3} Wrap Up & Day-By-Day Update

Hey, guys!

      This past week was so much fun! I was actually really busy, surprisingly. I wasn't expecting to do much when it came to participating in this readathon, but I actually was pretty active in the Instagram (bookstagram) challenges and I did quite a few reading sprints throughout the week. I couldn't actively do the sprints, but I did some. Last year, I was really into the sprints, but this year I found myself doing the sprints for about 45 minutes and then just binge-reading my books. 

     This week I managed to read 6 books. Next year I'll read the seven, but this year it wasn't meant to be. The last couple days of booktubeathon were much busier and I was getting slumpy. I'm actually writing this up Monday afternoon and I'm majorly slumpy. I have two books I'm actively reading and neither are doing it for me. I have another book I'm considering starting, but I have 8 books on my "currently reading" shelf on Goodreads, and that is just excessive. It's time to finish those books!

1. The Demigod Diaries by Rick Riordan
• 4 stars
2. The Fangirl's Guide to the Galaxy by Sam Maggs

3. All the Feels by Danika Stone
