What's up friends welcome back to another video today. I'm going to be sharing with you the first TBR of the year The books I'm going to be reading in January for two readathons first a month long readathon Read Jo Shalves hosted by Kathy and Steph and I'll have the links to that down below There is a mingle board that I'm going to be trying to complete and this readathon is just all about reading your shelves and reading the books on your shelves in 2020 we talked a lot about consumerism on booktube and this also is attributed to that conversation of reading books on yourselves So maybe if you got some for Christmas or you just have some that are lying around maybe you have some library holds Anything to you that is a book you have obtained you can read and try and check off the bingo board So I have a couple books I would like to read for that readathon And they're also going to be overlapping with another readathon Kathy is hosting with Beck and this is the rent readathon I love rent it is one of my favorite musicals You know I am going to be listening to the soundtrack My personal favorite is season of love. It's just such a bop. I love that I just love this musical So you know I had to participate in this and the links to the host announcement videos and more information and we'll be linked down below This readathon has prompts based on the characters So I've taken some and put them together to create a TBR So let's just get into the video I am attempting to get bingo for this readathon, but my main goal is to finish some of the books on my TBR The first prompt is nonfiction and I will be reading piece of cake by cupcake brown I got this for Christmas in 2019 from my brother and I have never gotten around to it But I have been wanting to pick it up. The cover is cool. I don't really know much about it I know it's a memoir and I love memoirs So I am very excited But I don't really know too much more about it. The next book fits a couple of prompts part of a series Retelling and an author from your country on from the US and I have a bookish in the beast by Ashley Poston I received an arc of this while back when it came out This is the final conclusion in the once upon a con series It is a geek retelling of beauty in the beast and Ashley Poston is one of my favorite authors So I could also use it for that prompt But I am so excited to finally get around to this the last book I have for rejo shelves before it overlaps with the ranger readathon Is author you love Noah's acquired and hyped and this is anxious people by Fredrick Bachman I swear I didn't mean to have an aesthetic with this TBR But it just happened this is Fredrick Bachman's 2020 release and I don't know much about it I just know that people have been talking about it. I know Emma from Dricken by your shelf She loves this book. It was one of her favorites of the year And I will pick up anything that Fredrick Bachman writes and I'm very excited to read this Next we move into the rent readathon and if this starts with Mark the prompt is to read a biography or a memoir And I will be reading piece of cake for that one The next prompt is to read a book with a Jewish protagonist first being a middle grade A place at the table and this also has purple in the cover Which is one of the prompts for rejo shelves and I have a young adult with a Jewish protagonist And this is color me in by Natasha Diaz next is Roger and this is to read a book about music and it breathed a contemporary And I have on the come up by Angie Thomas. This is an invoices novel Which is going to be fitting for the rejo shelves prompt and I'm sure she can fit other ones I love Angie. I need to read this. This is about a grown in brie who's a rapper and I started some of this last year But I never got around to finishing it and I got the paperback for Christmas So something is telling me that I need to pick this up and this reedathon is a perfect excuse Next is Maureen and this is to read a book with a bisexual main character I'm torn. I'm not sure which one I'm going to read. I'm an ER golf cool for the summer by Dahlia Adler And perfect on paper by Sophie Gonzalez Editing me here to just talk about the mistake. I'm going to make in the next clip I actually say that this is Joanne. It's actually Collins prompt So just wanted to clear that up before I continued with the video Next is Joanne and this is to read a book with a queer person of color And I have the henna wars. This is a sapphic romance between two girls that have a rival henna business It is about a Muslim girl who comes out to her parents as a lesbian and I've heard so many good things about this in 2020 So I am excited to get to it Next is Angel and this is to read a book with trans rep and I'll be reading the Amman Guards volume 3 This has a trans side character. There's a lot of queerness in this book And I love this series and I can't wait to continue it And for Mimi this is to read a graphic novel and I'm going to be reading this place This is an indigenous graphic novel anthology that I was actually recommended by Sarah from streaming books And I have this on hoopla. I can't wait to read it. I love graphic novels I'm also going to be reading He Who Dreams by Melanie Florence for the dream prompt for the buzzword rated violin Let me know if you're going to be participating in any of these readathons You'll probably see some of these books pop up in my secret TBR reading vlog Because I do like to try and read some of the books that are on my TBR And not just add one So you'll probably see some of these in that video So those are all the books for January.
