The Lit Review | Digital Diary: Feelgoodathon/ My Last BOTM Unboxing/ Shoutouts for 400+ Subs! 6/24/2020 @TheLitReviewForBooks | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Thank you all for being here! I’m so excited to have 400+ people here (500 as I’m posting this OMG) on the channel and can’t wait to see how we grow together next. This was such a fun readathon to do, even if I only fulfilled a couple of the prompts. I felt more refreshed for participating in it, and that’s all I could want out of a readathon.


A note about BOTM: when I filmed this segment of the video I just wanted to share my frustrations and disappointment. I am not judging you if you are choosing to stay with the company and take a more optimistic view of their potential for growth. I genuinely hope they reward that faith with some inspiring actions! Please know that any anger or hurt I express here is aimed at them as a company. I look forward to reading the remaining BOTM books that I have on my shelves and am on the lookout for a new book box. So if you have any recommendations, let me know!
