Happy Monday! I wanted to do a post about the read-alongs that are going on this month. They are being hosted by booktubers on YouTube, but they have also created goodreads pages.
The Panic read-along is hosted by Jesse, Kat, Christine, Liz and Ariel. Each of their names is a link to their YouTube channel. Click HERE to go to the Goodreads page they created. They will do a live review on YouTube.
Panic by Lauren Oliver:
Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.
Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.
Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.
For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.-Goodreads
The Archived Read-along is also hosted by Jesse. The Goodreads page he created for the event isThe Archived. I'm really excited about this book because I have heard nothing but good things. I believe he will be hosting a live chat at the end of the month on his channel.
The Archived by Victoria Schwab:
Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.
Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.
Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often—violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive.
Being a Keeper isn’t just dangerous—it’s a constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Da’s death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone too. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.
In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit, unbearable loss and hard-won redemption.- Goodreads
For each read-along the hosts have broken down the books into chapter sections. There are discussion boards on the Goodreads pages for each section. You can chat and discuss your feelings about the book before the live chat. These are my first read-alongs, so I'm super excited.
Until next time,
Bre
