BookTubeAthon!

If you feel like some fresh reading inspiration next week, why not try a BookTubeAthon

If you're wondering what that is, then take a look at Book Tube a fast growing community of book lovers who review books by making videos about them. Ariel Bissett and a number of other BookTubers are running the Challenge from Mon 14th - 21st July for the second year.  Their YouTube Channel dedicated to the Challenge has over 6000 subscribers, and has won sponsorship from BookDepository.com 

You can join in through reading and / or making videos, and here's the Challenges:



Could combine red on the cover
with a series and change of genre?
