 Hi friends, welcome back to my channel. I hope you're well and today I have such an incredibly exciting announcement. I am so, so excited. This is so good, oh my god. To tell you that I am going to be co-hosting a readathon called the A Thousand Doors Readathon. This is the first readathon I am ever hosting, so my excitement levels are through the roof and I think it is such a special unique readathon. I cannot wait for you to join us. I'm going to be co-hosting this with two incredible booktubers who I'm obsessed with and love and I'm sure you will watch already. I am going to be co-hosting this with Emma from Drinking By Myself and Tasman from Teabooks and Tasman. I'll leave them linked down below so definitely go check them out if you haven't already. I guess I should tell you how this readathon works because it is very different. So it is essentially a choose your own adventure readathon. Get excited. At midnight UK time GMT on Sunday the first of November so as the clock strikes November the first doors are going to open. So there'll be one video on my channel, one video on Emma's channel and one video on Tasman's channel and behind these doors you will find your first prompts. Now these prompts are going to be super up to interpretation. You don't need to do any planning for this readathon. Well you can't do any planning and you shouldn't need to buy any books for this readathon. I know sometimes to fulfill prompts people struggle to fulfill prompts readathons with the books they already own but these prompts are going to be super up to interpretation so you really should be able to fulfill it with what you have already. You get to choose which of these doors you start with. You can just click on one in which everyone you click on and that's the one you start with or you could watch all three and decide which prompt you like best and go from there. You open the door, you hear the prompt, you go away read your book but make sure you bookmark that video because after you've read your book you need to go to the end of that video and at the end screen of the video you will see that there's four different doors with options based on what you thought of the book you read for that initial prompt. So we're going to be asking you lots of different questions about what you thought about the book or maybe the characters or something like that and that will determine which door you open next and there's going to be five layers to this so five prompts. Behind some of those doors you may find something that isn't a reading prompt but I'm not going to tell you anything more about that. You are really encouraged to DNF if you're not enjoying your book, we really encourage you to DNF. There'll be an option at the end of each video if you DNF your book so that is completely an option and there'll be a special pathway for those of you that DNF. I'm sure this is all of you right now getting overwhelmed with how exciting this is. Now behind those doors you may find me Emma or Tasman or you may find one of our amazing guest hosts so we've got some amazing guest hosts who are going to be giving you some prompts also and these are Joel from fictional fates, Mina from Mina reads, Jean from Jean bookish thoughts, Monica Kim, Cree Miles, Talani from T time T reads and Lauren from the novel lush so they'll be behind those doors also I'll leave all our guest hosts linked down below as well and the guest hosts are also going to be hosting some live readings with us throughout the week on November the 1st it's going to be Joel and Mina on the 4th it's going to be Jean, Monica and Cree and on the 8th it's going to be Talani and Lauren so I'm so excited for them to take part oh I just realized I haven't said how long this runs for so this is going to be running technically for the whole month you have got the whole month to complete it if you want the prizes which I'll get into in a second are going to be given out at the end of the month so if you want to take your time to do the whole month do that we're going to be really actively hosting it for the first week from the 1st to the 8th that's when I'm going to be completing the read-a-thon I know a lot of people like for a read-a-thon to be a week long so it's basically up to you whether you want to complete it in a month or give yourself just the week to do it we are going to be hosting some more twitter sprints and youtube lives throughout the month but it will be really active just within that first week and we do have some prizes so our prizes are going to be these amazing candles from the Grayson Honey Shop which is owned by our fellow lovely booktuber Becca and the Books I am not a like to like candles in my flat I've just got to smell it unlit oh my god smell it I can't like the smell I have the chosen one which is caramel, clove, cotton candy and warm vanilla and let me tell you if you choose this one oh my god it smells I wish I could like this it smells so good there's going to be a prize for the first to finish the read-a-thon and like don't cheat because we'll know I'm not that you would but um whoever is first to comment on one of the end videos will win a prize there's also going to be a prize for vlogging so we would love to see you vlog this read-a-thon and we're going to randomly pick one of the vlogs and they will win a candle of their choice also and then the remaining eight prizes that we have to give out are going to be kind of secret you're not going to know how you can earn them it's all going to be to do with the pathways you take through the read-a-thon so just be honest with your choices when you are picking which door you want to go into and you may be eligible to win a prize that's it's so exciting to me that you could win a prize but you don't know how that's just oh it's so exciting oh my god it smells so good make sure you follow our twitter account which is a thousand doors a thon I'll leave it linked down below and I am just so incredibly excited this is like the perfect read-a-thon for me because everyone's going to have a different path everyone's going to have a completely different set of prompts and you can't plan I just love the excitement of it and opening those doors just feels so magical and I'm so excited to come through the doors with us I can't wait to see what pathways you will get based on what books you read and what you think of them and yeah I'm just so incredibly excited to be hosting my first ever read-a-thon with these wonderful people so like I said I will leave everyone linked down below if you have any questions about the read-a-thon feel free to leave them down below and I'll answer them and let me know if you think you're going to be participating I will see you very very soon in another video bye
