 Hey guys, it's Julia and welcome back to my channel, and for today's video I'm going to be doing my Kramathon TBR. So first off, I wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas. If you're watching this on the day this goes up, it is going on up on Christmas. So, merry Christmas to those who celebrate. I hope you guys are all, like, I sincerely hope you all are having a wonderful day. So let me know how your Christmas has went in the comments down below, because I'd love to know. Hopefully I'm having a good day. This is pre-filmed, so I don't know. But without further ado, I'm going to be talking about the Kramathon, which I'm helping a host with some of my dear friends, including Jay from The Awkward Bookworm, Ali from Hardback Quarter, and Dylan from Dylan the Reader 5. General details about the readathon, if you didn't see any of our announcement videos, this readathon is going to be running from the 26th, so tomorrow to January 2nd. And the goal is to cram a bunch of books into a small amount of days, so preferably picking shorter books would be best. So we have seven challenges that are not mandatory, but check them out. You can do them, so I'm going to go through them. So one is a book on our Twitter pages, a book with LGBTQIAP plus representation, one of the host's favorite short books, or a book, one of your friend's favorite short books. Shortest book on your TBR, a book with your favorite color on the cover, a book that was gifted to you, and read seven books. So of course you don't have to do these, you can all of these, you can double up, you can do the whole shebang, who cares, it's just for fun. So yeah, I will have our details down below, including everyone else's announcement videos and the Twitter, so make sure to check us out there because we're doing reading sprints, so I'm super excited about that. I'm nervous because I don't host readathons often because no one asks me, so thanks Dylan. No one usually, I don't host readathons often, so this is going to be my first time in like over a year maybe doing sprints, which even then I was, it was a very small little, like three people were doing it with me. So I know it's going to be a bigger thing this time just because of the Twitter, but I'm kind of nervous about it, but I hope you guys join in for the sprints. I'm going to have the picture here that you can check out and our Twitter will be down below. That nonsense, let's talk about the books I hope to read, but let's see what happens, we'll see. So I usually don't stick to reading challenges just because they aren't my thing, like I kind of just want to read what I want to read, that's cool. But I can sort of fit these into any challenges I want to in the end anyways, but I'm just going to show you guys what the books are. So first up, I have Nerve by Dianne Ryan, this book should be super quick. I think it's 300 pages, it's less than 300 pages, the font is massive, I think I can get through this one, and I know this is about a game. Like it's about this game that's kind of like truth or dare, but you have to do the dares and film them, but then people die and like there's all this stuff going on. I saw the movie and I liked it, I thought the movie was fun, so I'm excited to read the book. Next up here, I have Crenshaw by Catherine Applegate, and this book all I know is about a cat. It says Jackson and his family have fallen on hard times, there's no more money for rent and not much for food either. His parents, his little sister, and their dog may have to live in their minivan again. Crenshaw is a cat, he's large, he's outspoken, and he's imaginary. He has come back into Jackson's life to help him. So I'm super excited to read this, this sounds like it's going to be a really fun middle grade book, and I did enjoy The Unownally Ivan by Catherine Applegate. So I'm very excited to see what this one's all about and how I like it and if there's cats. So I'm there and the font, huge, I think it's doable. Next up here, I have The Nest and this is by Kenneth Opel. I don't know much about this, that it's just about a nest. Do we follow bees or some kind of wasp? I don't know, I'll find out, but it's little. I got it from Book Outlet and I was, so I'm like okay, it's about 250 pages and it's like middle grade, big font. Let me know if you guys have read this or heard anything about it. I don't really heard much about it, but it was cheap, so I bought it. The next book I have here is something I know you guys are going to be excited about and that is Gwendi's Button Box. And this is by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar. And this I've heard amazing things about. All I know is it's a very, clearly a very short, ooh it's pretty, very pretty. It's a very short little mystery thriller thing. I think the little time of Castle Rock Man has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over the years. So that's all I'm going to read about it, but I'm very excited to read this. I've heard amazing things. Very excited for this one. This is the one that probably won't happen just because I don't know if I'm going to fit it in, but this is None of the Above by I.W. Gregorio. And all I know about this one is it follows an intersex main character and her discovering that she is intersex. So this sounds very interesting, but I think how big is this? Oh, it's only 300 pages. I can read that. I don't know why the spine made it look bigger to me. Like, I don't know. Just the sides of it look kind of not big, but just like not. Yeah, so it only has like 330 pages. I think this is doable as well, but we'll see what happens. This is for the LGBTQIAP Plus Challenge. The book that I know I'm going to be getting to for sure is An Happy New Year. And this is by Holly Bourne. This is my top priority that I really want to read this before the New Year. So I'm super excited about this. This is the 3.5 in the Spinster Club trilogy, which is like a feminist trilogy, YA, mature YA series. Lots of fun, really good writing, really relatable characters. Super excited to read this one. But there you guys have it. These are the books that I'm hoping to read for the Kramathon. Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below and what you're going to be reading. And if you're participating, you uploaded a TBR video or any kind of video showing what you might read for the Kramathon or for your participating, just let me know in the comments down below. I would love to know and make sure to check out the rest of the host's channels as well as the Kramathon Twitter. See you guys super soon. Bye!
