Review: The Border (VIDEO)

Hello!

As you may, or may not, know, I usually do my reviews for books in a written format. However, I've been meaning to film some as well, and I ended up posting my first review on my YouTube-channel today! It's a review of The Border by Steve Schafer, which I got as an arc from the publisher.

I will continue to write reviews as well, though I haven't been reviewing a lot of books recently. I haven't been reading as much, and what I have read haven't been anything I felt like writing a review for. I will be back, however! As soon as I read a book I really want to talk about, or I feel like reviewing, it will definitely be posted on my blog.

Until next time! x

The Reading Quest Wrap Up - VIDEO

Hello!

So as you may, or may not, know, I recently participated in The Reading Quest. It's a readathon based on video games, and you can read more about it HERE! 

I talk more about my experience and my reading in the video, but just to sum it up: I had a lot of fun during this readathon, and I really hope that the creator, Read at Midnight, does something like this again, because I will definitely be participating!

Did you participate in The Reading Quest, and if so, how did you do?

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Struggled To Get Through

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

Long time, no see! I'm sorry that I've been super absent, but I will try to get back into blogging more now. I am still posting on my YouTube channel, but I will do my best to stay active on this blog as well. 

The theme this week is books I struggled to get through, or didn't get through at all. I didn't manage to come up with ten different books, but I did my best. I usually don't have that much problem getting through books, and I don't like to DNF books either, so I didn't have that many to choose from.

I'll start by mentioning the one book on this list that I didn't finish at all, and that is Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. I picked this up because we were having a production of the musical at my school, so I wanted to read the book before performing the play. However, the philosophy sections were so long and hard to get through, that I ended up putting it back before even getting halfway.

The rest of the books I'll just mention in a list-format, as I don't really have much to say about each individual one. The main thing they have in common is that they were hard to get into, and had sections which I found hard to read. I did end up finishing all of them, and even enjoyed some of them quite a bit. And with some I might enjoy a lot more now, given that there's been some time since I read a few of them.

1. Carry On - Rainbow Rowell

2. After You - Jojo Moyes

3. All Our Wrong Todays - Elan Mastai

4. De Usynlige (The Invisible) - Roy Jacobsen

5. The Host - Stephenie Meyer

6. The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter - Henri Murger

What books did you struggle to get through?
