 Hey guys, it's Julia and welcome back to my channel, and for today's video I'm going to be doing my February TBR as well as my contemporary thought TBR. Basically I'm going to be talking about the books that I hope to read in the month of February and for the read-a-thon that is happening later this month. But first getting into some books that I just want to read aside from the read-a-thon. I should only have two here that I'm going to be talking about for just other reads in February, but first like here I have Retribution Rails by Erin Bowman. This is the sequel to Vengeance Road and this is a YA Western series and it's just super fun. I really enjoyed book one and I'm just super excited to get to book two. I've been hoping to get to it and I've just been stalling a little bit, but I'm excited to give this one hopefully a chance in February. Next up here I have Rumble by Ellen Hopkins which this one is going to be a buddy read with Peter from Peter likes books. I love him so much and I'm just so excited to be doing a buddy read with him. I don't know much about what this one is about. So I know her books deal with a ton of hard topics and a ton of important issues so I'm really excited to see how we both like this one. I also will be doing a classic of the month and a king of the month. I don't know what those are going to be yet. I like to kind of keep them spontaneous and fun, but yes. So for my contemporary to fun TBR, basically Contemporary Thon is a readathon that is hosted by Chelsea from Chelsea Delling Reads who I love so much. Same with Julie from Pages and Pents such as Sweetheart and Natasha from My Reading is Odd which I like binge watched all of her videos recently like a month ago or something. I binge watched them all so they're great ladies definitely check them out. I love them all and I'll have their channels linked down below but they're going to be hosting the Contemporary Thon which this has seven challenges and it goes from the 12th to the 18th I believe it is. I'll have the dates on the screen though. So basically the challenges are read the most recent contemporary book that you purchased, read a contemporary book with pink on the cover, read a hyped contemporary, read a day of first contemporary, read a dark contemporary and read a contemporary graphic novel as well as read a contemporary that has been recommended to you. So for this I actually only have three books plus a new release that I'm going to be talking about today and yeah because I might double up or I don't know how busy that week is going to be for me. It's the first week back at school and I don't know. So I'm keeping a light fun fresh yes. Basically before we get into the contemporary thon picks I forgot to talk about another book that I'm hoping to read this month which I will read this month and that is Sinbook. I'm super excited to read this one. I might read it for contemporary thon I don't know but I'm super excited about it because I read everything by him and I love his work so I'm very excited for this new release. So I'm going to be doubling up but I have a few picks here. So first I'm actually going to be hoping I'm hoping to read the apocalypse of Eleanor Mendoza for contemporary thon. I might do that for a diverse and a recommended pick because Dylan talks about it all the time and then I've heard it's diverse so I'm looking forward to that one because I loved Where the Ants. So yes and then for a contemporary graphic novel I have A Lighter Than My Shadow by Katie Green and I believe this deals with a girl who's really introverted and it's just written like it's just in black and white and I think it's going to be really interesting. It says Lighter Than My Shadow it's a hand drawn story of struggle and recovery a trip into the black heart of a taboo illness and exposure of those who are weak, those who are so weak they prey on the weak and an inspiration to anybody who believes in the human power to injure towards happiness. I'm excited to see what this one's about. And then for another pick here I have Meat Cute which is by a hand full of others including I'm Most Excited for Stories by Nicola Yoon and Julie Murphy. That's who I'm most excited for but this is just supposed to be a bunch of Meat Cute stories which is just like how couples meet and the cute experiences. So I heard this one is a really fun and a light read so I'm hoping to read this one as well. And this one I don't know anything about but it's called Romeo in What's Her Name. This is by Shanae Petrov and I read her other book which is My New Crush Gave to Me it's over here. And yeah my new crush yeah. But I really liked that and I thought it was really cute so I'm hoping to read this one as well. And again I don't know. So the Romeo Juliet play, romance, I don't know seems fun it's short. So there you guys have it those are the books that I'm hoping to read in the month of February and for contemporary thumb. Let me know what you are hoping to read down below and if you're taking part in the readathon and I'll see you all very very soon with a new video.
