Read All The Books

So this is my 3rd year doing the O.W.L.s readathon hosted by Book Roast on Youtube. The rules and instructions can be found here : I have decided for this year's career I'm going to go for Astronomer so here are the prompts and books I plan to read: Arithmancy : read something outside your favourite genre: Interview with a vampire - Anne Rice Astromomy : read majority of book when it's dark outside: Not Your Idol - Aoi Makino History of Magic : book feature witches/wizards: How's Moving Castle - Diana Wynne Jones I have also decided to do a course this year as I definitely read more than 3 books a month. I have decided to try and become and Animagus. Here are the prompts and what I plan to read: Arithmancy : read something outside your favourite genre (while I will have completed this for my career I have decided to add another book anyway) Joy At Work - Marie Kondo Potions : a book under 150 pages: Saga Vol 3 - Brian K Vaughan Transfiguration

Set in a futuristic New York, The Thousandth Floor follows a group of teens living in a thousand story tower and their day to day lives. This read like a futuristic Gossip Girl but I did have a hard time really getting into the story. While a lot of things were happening it also felt like nothing was really happening until the last few chapters when it all went down. I found all the characters to be interesting especially Avery, the genetically perfect human and I LOVED reading about all the futuristic capabilities, hover cars and sending messages via contacts, sign me up! I know this book was mostly setting up for the other books in the series but I wished it had been a little shorter as I felt it dragged a little. I wasn't planning on picking up the other books in the series but after reading the last couple of chapters, I really wanna see where it all goes so will definitely continue on with this series.

This was such a fun and quick read! It follows Yuna and Akari, two girls that are complete opposites who meet in an unexpected way and soon become best friends. Yuna is a shy quiet girl while Akari is outgoing and not afraid to speak her mind. While they seem to have nothing in common they soon start to realise that maybe they aren't so different after all.  The graphics in this are really beautiful and I hope that it is published in colour as in some cases I couldn't tell which girl was which particularly when it was a close up of Akari's face as you couldn't see the dark ends of her hair. I think this is a great manga for teens as it explores the topics of friendship and crushes/first loves and that our impressions of people aren't always what they seem and you should get all your facts before jumping to conclusions. Thanks to NetGalley and VIZ media for providing me an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.
