 this is the reading rush day five. i went to bed late again because i got my vlog out but i still slept more than i have the past few nights but i wanted to give you an update so i started the prince in the dressmaker last night and i'm liking it so far. i'm almost halfway through and i just wanted to go to bed so i didn't finish it but i'm really liking it so far. i really like the art and honestly the concept is just really interesting. i love that i love the dressmaker and how open and nice she is and how i love how when she was like quitting her other job which is in like the first bit when she's quitting her other job her boss was like no stay like we appreciate you because she got a better offer and then she's like no i quit bye and like went to do this random thing when she's making dresses for the prince. they both have to hide the fact that she's making dresses for him and i it's good. today's instagram challenge is more of like a food related one so you have to take a photo of a book and have food or like drinks around it and stuff like that so i haven't done that yet and it's still early it's only 9 30. the video challenge today is like more of a bookish art creativity thing so you could do like a drawing a painting you know makeup you could do whatever you want so that was hosted by christine amary who i love i'm really excited for this one appointment this morning and then i want to go to my known-ness house because i have been in like you guys have seen through the vlogs that have gone out and stuff but i really want a day where i could just go out and just forget about some stuff for a bit and like get away from like i just need a break from the some of the readathon stress i am going to be taking little clips while in there and stuff like that but i was debating going or not i was not gonna go because i thought i had to stay home and do the reading rush stuff but you know i'm almost done my seven books i really don't have to and yeah i don't need stress because this readathon is about having fun which is something i think i usually forget every year sometimes i forget that and i'm like gotta get all the vlogs up gotta read all the books today gotta do all the challenges and yeah so today is gonna be kind of just like a breather day for me i'm gonna finish the graphic novel maybe start something else we'll see but i'm gonna take it easy today because i've read six books and over a thousand pages so far so i'm doing fine for the readathon so we good so it so it is currently nine o'clock i have an updated you all day spending time with family the entire day which i do not regret at all i'm so so happy i did that but i feel extremely guilty that i did not blog or that i did not i don't have footage for day five i only have the prince and the dressmaker to finish and then i'm also gonna read a volume of black butler and then watch an episode of the anime to do that challenge and then i'm good so extremely stress and mental health wise i'm just like no break from the internet like i just need yeah i've been no so i just got to the bath and it's been about an hour maybe but i end up finishing the prince and the dressmaker by jen wang super great read i think this is i'm so happy this is why it is well and i just think yeah i really enjoyed it i'm thinking i'm getting a solid four i really liked the art style and i really liked the representation that it wasn't like super labeling like it wasn't like oh he's wearing dresses because he's this or because he's that it was just like he wants to wear dresses so he wears dresses and that's fine i thought that was really beautiful and well done and it just made me really happy the art was beautiful the dresses were beautiful i think a lot of people a lot of people have read this already but i think a lot of people are gonna really enjoy this one so yeah i really really enjoyed this and i hope you guys pick it up this lighting is really orange but spanish black butler volume one this was a reread for me i have read this before and the first time i read it i think i gave it around like a three point something and i still kind of agree with that i have read the first six or so and like they were all like good but like i didn't fall in love with the series i love i love the art style i love how these characters look they look amazing and like i i like i already love these characters and i love like the comedic moments with all the other characters too and how badass sebastian is and cl and yeah i love the characters but the first volume is really jumpy in my opinion and it's also very info dumpy which is kind of expected with the first volume but there is i think better ways of you know distributing that information and like telling you all of that information than what it was in here beginning there's just like huge text boxes full of like just information and it's not too text heavy but it's just to be noted i guess i think they could have read that out a bit better in my opinion but yeah so i think i'm still gonna go at a three point something i do like this though and i'm probably gonna reread the other ones at some point too so then i can get back into this series just because i do like the overall the overall concept of it so yeah
