Reading for 24 hours straight in a book hotel...

welcome all to the most exciting version of a reading for 24-Hour straight video I have ever done firstly because it's with Sarah and Destiny they both have book channels and we come from our three different states flew to the same airport and then Road tripped to a book hotel Yes you heard that right it's an entire Hotel themed around books and it has an entire library inside and we are going to try to read for 24 hours straight together and as you can imagine it gets a little crazy I'm about to begin my 24-hour readathon with the book girl please these are our tbrs you're going to have to watch their videos to see their tbrs get read the first rule we're going to try to read the entire 24 hours straight through the night all nighter number two we're going to read one book that's the same all at the same time and number three I might try to read a book from the book hotel oh we're all so nervous same book 24 hours let's go okay ready 3 2 2 1 oh gosh [Music] we are an hour and 20 minutes in kind of fast and we're all reading MAD Honey by jod pickle who is a very famous author yeah it says on here that it's Good Morning America book club Pi yeah so it's a very like book Clubby but usually those ones are really good so it's kind of like a literary fiction but there's a mystery because somebody died and we get two point of views the mom of this boy named Asher who is dating a girl named Lily and we're also getting Lily's point of view and Lily dies you find that out very quickly it's on the back of the book so now we're just trying to figure out what's going on and there's lots of backstory lots of ominous Clues we have beekeeping as like the backdrop of the story because Olivia the mom is a beekeeper lots of bee metaphors going on it's a little bit ominous you don't know why she's saying things like the queen bee will just kill this other bee and kick them out and we should really learn things from that it's like okay what are you talking about I'm 66 in the only thing I'm feeling so far is that it's just very sad like it's just been so sad the whole time that I'm excited for when we get to read like a cute little romance after this I feel like I'm liking it okay I feel like y'all are liking it less I'm liking it I'm not liking it I feel like I get we're in the setup of it but it is sad though it kind of reads like an Ellen Hilder book not like the writing but like in what you said where I feel like when I read an Ellen hbr book I always say that I feel like the like Rich wi and you're sitting on the beach and you're just reading like a book but sometimes the beekeeping stuff I'm like hey I'm over here and I should be right here if you did it a little bit but we like be in a super interesting part where you want to read more about it and then she like goes off into the beekeeping which is probably intentional cuz it ties back in in some way but I'm like listen you had my attention now it's like going this way until we go back into what we were just talking about just loves the be yeah we're really just in the setup phase but it does feel like she's weaving a sort of Masterpiece so I'm excited to see how it [Music] continues night 18 hours left meaning we've done 5 hours yeah is that right yeah we've read for 5 hours and I'm only 50% through the book Destiny finished it at 4 hours Destiny's our fastest reader friend ever but she can also retain the information more than all of us it's very impressive I got to see her reactions to the end of the book my biggest thing with this book is just the pacing because at like 75 pages I was like oh we're just getting started with the book which 75 pages is kind of a lot to get started like I feel like after 70 80 Pages you should be in the plot and then I feel like at page 100 finally we have a plot we have a court case and I actually really like reading about court cases I feel like those move by really fast I like the dialogue and I feel like if she would have just rearranged the parts of the story it would have flowed better but because of how she chose to like switch timelines as soon as we gain momentum we just hit the brakes really fast and then defy finishing it and me still having 50% left I was like okay this is really demotivating me for the beginning of a 24-hour readathon and also there are lots of trigger warnings for this book but this book in particular is making me feel so sad and dark I need to just not be reading this and I need to sit outside with a romance book looking at this pile there are so many that I'm excited to read and I'm also already 138 pages into thank you for listening by Julia whan she's one of the most famous audiobook narrators and this book is about an Audi book narrator and if you listen to the Audi book she narrates it so it's a really fun book I started reading it and then listening to it on the plane so I'm going to go outside probably to lift my spirits if I get really bored I can listen to it and play a game of chess and I feel like I just need the momentum of this challenge to go because having 19 more hours is is demotivating if you don't like the book that you're reading MAD honey DN on to thank you for listening I say we were good [Music] together I was say we have fun but our tra will never run [Music] forever something else is just on your mind we're in the lobby now which is just like right underneath our room these are all of the rooms by the way and there are strangers over there but it just doesn't feel like a hotel it feels like a house I am on Page 302 we have 16 and 1/2 hours left which means we've been reading for 6 and 1/2 hours I think I have 90 pages of this book left and it's getting so cute and Destiny is reading a book that I love and they kind of have similar not plots but like vibes yeah and I literally picked this up because you said I picked up nor on script because you like this author and then I was like oh I'll read this book afterward I feel like there's something about maybe it's like the age of these characters but I feel like it's just so fun like it feels comforting even though I've never read this author before and I just really like it so [Music] far I'm trying to do the math on how long we've been reading we have 14 and 1/2 hours left have we've been reading for 9 and 1/2 hours it's almost 7:00 p.m. it's crazy I finished thank you for listening and it was really really good the main character in this book had a freak accident happen and she has an eye patch and a scar across her face and I really liked her talking about the before and after of something big happening in your life and kind of viewing yourself as like only the after version and always wishing you were who you were before something happened I thought that was really great and I just love a good You've Got Mail moment where like as the reader you know that you're reading text messages about two people who already know each other but they just don't know that they know each other and there was a lot of like text messages in these books so it was really fast to read those parts and yeah it was really easy to just not it bored and I think I'm going to give this a solid four stars which I'm really happy about cuz I always looked at this and felt like I would like it and I did really really really enjoy it so four stars recommend if you want to read about people who do audio books and now when considering what to read next I have love interest by CLA Gilmore this is a workplace romance I've never seen anyone talk about this so it feels like I would just really be going into something blind which feels scary like sometimes I look at books like this and I just assume they'll be three stars which is wrong of me I just don't know what to think of it I have the paradise problem which is the new Christina Lauren book but I also could picture myself reading this like on a beach so I don't know about that I have the resort which looks like a tropical mystery but I don't want to feel dark at all like I still feel like I need something really happy or Ready or Not which is a pregnancy that you follow so I don't really want to read this right now and when I was talking about one of the challenges being reading a book from this hotel I might end up up just rereading one of my favorite books if I can find something on here let's do a bit of shopping and see what I should read next I love this book Finley Donovan is killing it love other words all these are like new books none of them have cracks in the spine which feels like a big responsibility people meet on vacation little acatar reread starting to think I should just read one of my own books there's an arc in here Advanced readers that's crazy that someone put an ark [Music] in not finding anything we have 13 hours and 30 minutes left and all of us are hitting the point where we're trying to figure out what to read next Sarah's trying to find a book I'm trying to find a book I listen to Finley Donovan is killing it for 30 minutes while I play chess which is a book I've already given five stars and I don't really like the narrators for that book so I didn't after that I think we're going to try to read love interest it takes place in Manhattan and like I said workplace romance that I've never seen single thing about and the dedication says publishing this book is the scariest thing I've ever done which I feel like just is kind of exciting to read what she wrote I'm reading Off to the Races by Elsie silver and I'm talking like this cuz this is how I hear them talk in the series Kindle unlimited reck I don't know someone give me a wck oh I should go on Tik Tok I haven't been on Tik Tok and you say glor please don't Me Oh Glory of [Applause] please don't hey guys guys we're about to hit 12 hours which would be halfway and I'm so relieved and excited right now because this book is kind of eating so far we're only 50 pages in but the main love interest guy is korean-american that slay I can't remember the last time I read a book where one of the main characters was Asian other than tomorrow and tomorrow tomorrow where he was like half asian half white which is what I what I am if you're new and then the thing that I do not relate to is that she Works in New York City and she's like a financial analyst so she's really good at math she was competing for a higher up position with this man Alex but he gets the job and then she finds out that he is the son of the chair on the boards on the board the Boardman the boards chair I don't know how to say that basically nepotism a little bit and so they're kind of like enemies but then also another thing about this book is that they have some sort of like YouTube channel going on in their office building and they get asked to be part of a segment on the YouTube channel so I just feel like I have a lot of things to relate to in this book so far and the writing is really good and I really like the chemistry between the two characters so far even though we've only gotten little glimpses so this is great cuz I really need a good book going into the night time it's 9:00 p.m. now and I'm just waiting any second now to open up an energy drink because we're going to pull in all nighter and I've not done that in so long 50 pages in I'm going to keep reading but I'm really excited everyone guys it's hit that time where it's so late in the night guess what time it is y'all it's 9:00 we're getting kind of loopy already oh I think there's four YouTubers here five yeah five I wish I was hula hoop right halfway through we're cracking open our cold ones three 2 one woo I ruined it m I have a 100 Mig of caffeine Alani new Cherry Slush and Sarah has an Olli poop because she is sensitive to ca I can't believe our faces are being captured from five different angles that is unreal guys no cameras please why am I kind of getting nervous it's freaking me out M I'm almost 40% into it okay okay okay how about you guys page 90 Sarah fast thank you guys Sarah's just like that little cutie like you're embarrassing me oh wow I'm reading I'm reading so fast ha normal work hours that's a good one [Applause] it's almost 1:00 a.m. have my invisaline in we have 8 and 1/2 hours left and I'm on page 224 and as of now this book is a five star to me I know crazy I was falling asleep there for a second so I just woke up I probably was asleep for like 1 minute but I have to just tell you the list of things that I have in common with this book which is so unexpected and it's funny because I read how to end a love story and I was like this book taught me that I hate situationships guess what this has and I'm saying it's a five star so my mind has been changed I keep falling asleep even sitting up breaking open and then get back together so sleep this is good cuz if your eyes go down you can't CL like you can't Sarah provided the under eye patches you really can't look down anymore okay I have 4 actually helping me not close my eyes yeah physically it doesn't feel good when you go like this you look cute when them thanks you look so cozy I go to bed [Applause] [Music] [Music] 2: a.m. coffee shop opens at 6:00 a.m. 4 more hours and we can walk on over so that's my next deadline in my head morning in Pennsylvania oh wow I look tired I fell asleep from 3:00 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. but I would wake up sometimes or wait I woke up at like 6:00 I think started downloading powerful by Lauren Roberts and then fell asleep as it was opening and then woke up at 6:30 and we have 30 minutes till this coffee shop opens so I'm going to actually read the novel now drifted is no use trying to pretend and I know that is over got the look on your face it's so hard to whisper we have 1 hour left I felt like I was going to upchuck in the coffee shop for some reason and I was legitimately falling asleep like physically my eyes cannot stay open and I'm the only one who's struggling right now and I think it's because I took too long of a nap it wasn't like 30 minutes like 3 and 1/2 hours in the middle of the night and I'm really struggling now but I finished love interest last night and this book was so good I need to go into detail when I'm not exhausted but I just related to so many different things the main character he's Asian he's an inog 7 that's what I am I hesitate to say this because I feel like it's really high praise and then the comparison's a little bit weird so if you read it thinking about the comparison it'll just not live up to the hype but it just gave me similar feelings as to when I read beach readed by Emily Henry and it's probably not because the book books are similar but because I just connected that deeply with the characters in each of these books so in my brain this is like a 4.75 star book right now and then I'm reading the powerful Nolla on my Kindle right now which is a Nolla after powerless by Lauren Robert which is fantasy which I haven't read in a long time but it's like perfect it's 250 Pages I'm 100 pages in and I've been craving fantasy but then also scared of it so this is like the perfect digestible fun fantasy where it's not hurting my brain especially falling asleep and having one 1 hour left I can't even talk let's go finish reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 oh my gosh I we did it oh yeah we did it we're done we done we did it guys yes you here okay we have finished the 24-hour reading video the effects that it took on our mental are big Destiny is the only one who survived the entire night and she also hold up how many books you read plus I'll put the ones on the screen that she also read 1 2 3 4 5 six she read 6 and A2 books I read these two fully plus almost done with this Nolla plus 50% of mad honey this book which we were doing the math if we would have finished that book it would have taken 10 hours but then this was was a Sligh it was four stars highly recommend this book this one I feel like I need an entire 10 minutes to talk about this book and I won't even do it right now but I loved it so much I related to so many different things about the characters and I want to see this book hyped up and people reading it I love it I want you guys to read it I L added it to a monthly TBR a few months ago and then I never read it buy it today for good good I just always looked at it and thought it'd be three stars and I think it's like 4.75 wow and maybe five if I continue thinking about I kind of want to reread the end when I'm not you know 2 a.m. reading it so good I'm so happy that I found this book but I finished this one at 2:30 a.m. I believe and that's a rough time to finish a book because having to choose a new one that's why I went to bed and I thought they were asleep so I was like okay I'm going to just take a little nap I slept for the longest I slept for 3 and 1/2 hours and then I struggled my way through the Nolla powerful this morning but I love it so far and I'm going to save the ending of that book for when I am of sound mind yes of sound mind cuz I think I'm really going to enjoy that one I read well same thing as haly I D have this one at the same time as her invisible Girl by Lisa Jewel the rule book and then I finished powerful the Nolla this morning too this was our buddy read and I finished it then I finished the rule book then I read next nope same time next summer I keep on saying this wrong read this because of Haley and loved it then I read Off to the Races by LC silver then I read dark matter flip-flopped through a few books and then I finished off with Mrs Nash's ashes woo yeah if you'd like to see the aftermath of our mental state you can go watch this Vlog that will come out one day we stayed at a book hotel vlog go watch their videos go to sleep tonight go to sleep bye like we're so tired oh
