- Hi friends! Today, we have... my FIRST 48 hour readathon👀 To push through my TBR, I decided to do another 24 hour readathon vlog (with a twist), this time accompanied by some of my booktube friends and a full 48 hours of reading. I truly just wanted to see how many books I could read in a 48 hour period and here's the result... We have some Graphic Novels, Fantasy, Romance and Contemporary novels in this video. Enjoy friends!

When browsing for books to read, I always look for book reviews. Reading vlogs have become some of my absolute favorite videos to film so I had to try out reading for 48 hours... (spoiler alert: I read 3 books in 48 hours + 1 more during the same week). The concept is simple: you set a TBR and try to read as much as you can in 48 hours! My TBR was pretty ambitious with 5 books: Strange the Dreamer, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, Act Your Age, Eve Brown, Vicious Spirits, Fence Vol. 2. Booktube has buzzed about these books… Let’s see if I’ll enjoy them. The video has a book talk / book review portion at the end that is completely spoiler free, as well as live reactions and a book haul/book unboxing portion. I hope you guys enjoy this one and come out with one more book to add to your TBR and some good book recommendations for 2021!

Currently snacking on M&M’s while enjoying this video even tho there’s a stack of books waiting for me to read them lol
now i want m&m’s😫
Girl 48 hours?! My attention span would not last😂 also would love an updated bookshelf tour... I see it growing ☝️
it’s definitely coming!! and i actually loved the 48 hour dynamic because that sleep was fantastic😂
I swear I’m the only person on Booktube who hasn’t read a brown sister book 😤
me too until recently!!! chloe and eve are my favs🤍😍
Me too but I need to start it now before it's too late heheh :)
@Jay G lol nope omg haven’t read any of them either
i haven’t either girl! i’ve heard so many mixed reviews
miss mel I need an updated bookshelf tour they are just looking as gorgeous as you are 😍😩
it will definitely come your way... maybe in june👀👀👀👀
If you really like lyrical writing I highly recommend “The Kingdom of Back” by Marie Lu!! It has rlly beautiful description and also has to do with not leaving a mark / being forgotten!!
i’ve had my eye on this for a bit so maybe this comment is my last push👀
1. love the old guard on netflix in the background
2. i guess i’ll be adding strange the dreamer to my tbr 💗
🥔 I need to read Strange the Dreamer. I've heard such amazing things about it
The way you talked about lyrical writing really hit home for me too, I feel the same exact way🥺💓
🎶🎶🎶
the rant on the potato stacks 😂
22:45 same in Chile, it’s so frustrating and horrible. I understand you 100%. I love your videos
🥔
Your readathon is the best part of every month 🥰 and 48-hour one is actually great in order to get enough sleep and all that healthy stuff while also reading a lot 😊
i’m glad you also love them mari🥺 and right?! sleep was needed hahaha
I have had strange the dreamer on my shelf for a few months but had no intention of getting to it soon but that may have to change 👀👀
change, change, change👀😈
Loved the vibes mel!!!
Hope you remain healthy mentally and emotionally ❤️❤️💞
i loved reliving the readathon!!! i can't wait for the next one (i'm getting better readathon by readathon)🎶🎶😂
i can’t wait for the next one too!!! i’m ready to hopefully read even more🙌🏻
Mel always put me in a good mood 🙂 I’ve been going through a lot but this makes me so happy
This is my first time really watching your videos and I absolutely love the way you update on the book that you are reading. So in depth with the quotes and your thoughts. I can't wait to watch more.
I loved reliving the readathon while watching! can't wait for the next one and I'm so excited for Strange The Dreamer 😍
i can’t wait to hear your thoughts on strange😍
@@MelReads I'm planning to read it in August 🥰
i am soooo incredibly late to this reading vlog, but i loved it nonetheless~ thank you, mel! 💖💖
Mel your reaction to Strange the Dreamer was me when I read it!!! I can't wait to get my hands on the Brown Sisters Trilogy soon 💖🥔
Girllll the way I added Strange the Dreamer to my TBR without a second thoughtttt 👀👀 Also I am hereee for the chill vibes, I loved this vlog! It was just what I needed to wind down for a while during finals week(s) 🎼🎤
🎶 🎶 🎶 loved this chill readathon was so lovely and fun. And so happy you are loving Eve brown. And strange the dreamer 👀👀 okay I see you maybe see that in my tbr soon
Your videos inspire me! You make me want to start my own booktube channel 💓💓💓
Strange the Dreamer sounds absolutely beautiful, def putting it at the top of my tbr 🥺
it was a stunning book!! the writing was😭😍🤍
Your videos are part of my self care routine 😭♥️ absolutely in love with your videos. Engaging from start to finish..... completely off topic Where did you get your glasses from? They’re so pretty 😍
I normally don’t really pay attention to when I watch booktubers talking about a book in a reading vlog. But, you just know how to make it relatable in a way and interesting. I’ve only just found you but I can tell that I’m gonna binge your videos 😂😅 🥔
Yay I'm glad you are excited about those two books! I wish I was able to join this readathon but unfortunately I had to work, I will eventually get to really take part in one hopefully! I really need to get the Brown sisters books! Happy you had a successful readathon! 🎵🎤🎶
you’re the best cassidy, thank you for sending them my way😭🤍 and hopefully you’ll be able to make the next readathon🥺
Stranger The Dreamer reminded me a lot of Jude The Obscure. Maybe it's a retelling with a more positive spin to it? And also, living for the gothic candles, Mel 😆
mel ,you are such a comfort! love your videos so much, you put so much effort into your content and i hope you give yourself a lot of credit ✨✨✨🤍🤍 also can’t wait for you to read muse of nightmares really feel like you’ll absolutely love it!
thank you so much😭🤍 you guys are the best!! and i can’t wait for muse, i need to know what happens😫
Okay Mel when you are reading the quotes of Strange I was getting goose bumps...
I read Take A Hint Dani Brown and Act Your Age Eve Brown this month and I enjoyed them both especially Eve which I rated 5⭐️! I might even reread it sometime this year because it was that good 🎶
I love your bookshelf's!
First amazing video i always love watching your channel!! Second you said you don’t want to die without making an impact however small it is you impact most of your watchers by making these videos that inspires me to read and other things and most likely so many others. It might not be the impact you imagined but you do make an impact. 🥔
this means the absolute world, thank you🥺🤍
Agreed. She is an inspiration✨
48 hrs ! So tiring but exciting too
Living for the readathon!!! 🥰
😍🙌🏻
I haven't read Muse of Nightmare yet, but I read Strange the Dreamer which was one of my fav read last year. Maybe this is the sign to have a reread 💙
oh girl I love your channel. makes me feel so damn happy
I've also DNF'd Strange the Dreamer... multiple times. I try so hard but I just can't!
"DaMN ThIs REaLlY bE PhIILosOpHIcAl" lmao. me when I try to make a good poem
Thinking of buying Strange the Dreamer:)🥔
YAY I JUST FINISHED ACOTAR AND WOW
I felt the same and the other books will leave you feeling the same if not more
hope you loved it🥰
I love your videos
I am going to request some of these books in the library
I’m new at this but I love your booktok and how you talk about book sorry I’m really new at this but I love to watch your UA-cam
For me, I think I’d rather be forgotten because I don’t think I’ve lived a fulfilled life. So, I don’t deserved to be remembered. I feel like I wouldn’t be an inconvenience anymore to anyone either. I always felt like I inconvenienced people all the time, it’s an irrational fear, and I know for some people I don’t. But I still feel like that.
🥔Loved the vid needed a long video!!!
😍🤍
Love the fact that you watch Buffy lol 🎶🎶
The shelves 🙈💃🏻
I love you videos and you seem to nice! I want to do a read-a-thon even though my mom will probably not be into in because I'm 10!!
thank you🥺 and probably short term readathon (12 hours) would be better!! 24-48 is very exhausting😫
That one unlike is your sleeping schedule hating😒🤣🤣
I just learned we have the same birthday!!!
🦿🦿🦿💃🏾💃🏾Loved the video. Hope you enjoy Gideon the Ninth
i can’t wait to read it😭😫
🥔
Oh my god the commentary on weight in latin culture. ABSOLUTELY! That is something i've been dealing with my whole life
Laini Taylor is great! DOSAB is wonderful as well!
i can’t wait to read dosab in june😭🙌🏻
I have a twisted tale box set that I’m reading I’m on the last book in the set
hey hey heyyyy 🥔
I can’t even read for a quarter of the 24 hours so Mel, you are cheating and don’t tell me otherwise 😤🤚 (loved the video though :)🥔 )
A little late but I really liked this vlog. 🎼
MELLL!!!! My birthday is OCTOBER 28 omggg
YES!!! scorpio supremacy😈
I really love you content 🎤🎼🎼🎤
Hahah the text blasts 😂😂😂 had to wake the people up lmao!
Babe you could NEVER be forgotten. I love you, and you’ve changed MY life for the better. 💕❤️
Also can we get into this LENS QUALITY BECAUSE BABYEEEEEE YOU LOOKIN CRISPY AND GORGEOUS 😍😍😍😍
i still don’t know how you do the text blasts but i burst out laughing every time lmfao😂
@@thenamesJaleesa WAIT😭😭😭
@@thenamesJaleesa only for you😈🤍
16:32 🥔🤎
STRANGE THE DREAMER SPOILERS
OK, the book is good,
but wouldn't it be BETTER if Lazlo had a hate to love romance with Thyon and be friends with Sarai? No? Just me? haha
I know some UA-camrs will sleep like five hours and then add five fours to it to make up for sleeping
Edit: 🎶🎵
i feel like if i do this, i’ll end up readathoning for 4 days😂😂😂
New bookshelf tour/organization 👀👀
Making something potatoes sounds good right now...🥔
I want to order Fence but I'm scared the plot is all about the sport. I found I didn't enjoy Check Please b/cs of that reason. Great readathon 🎶🎵
it definitely is very sports centric!! if you thought check, please was very sport-y then... this one is a whole ass sports channel😂
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Loved this video!!
