i have one request! if you incorporate book ratings on your website.... please do what goodreads has neglected for years and make half stars possible lol
I have to be honest, it’ll take me a little while to come to terms with the name change! I completely understand why you’ve done it though, I’ll just miss the word booktubeathon :( what you’re doing sounds great though, I would lovvvveeeee to have a website like that!
This is such an amazing and exciting step towards a whole new level for booktubeathon which is now The Reading Rush! I'm honestly very very very very excited!!! Holy crap and seeing Raeleen on screen again is making me tear a little. I can't wait for this project to ascend to a new level. :)
THIS IS SO COOL! The fact that booktubeathon has grown so much and has expanded past our little youtube community is amazing,, and I am so pumped for the new website!
ok im in love with this idea! i was so confused by the name change at first but now it makes so much more sense and is super inclusive for the rest of the community! Rock on ladies and I can't wait for The Reading Rush 2019!
i love that this rebrand and expansion feels like a natural progression for the booktube-a-thon. it was only a matter of time before it became something much bigger, how exciting!!
I am incredibly excited about this! It's the next step to making this seem inclusive and accessible to all readers. I cannot wait to see what you have in store with the website and everything and I was super happy to invest in this! I wish I could have given more, but I'm excited for my mug :D
Woooo! I’m so excited!!! I will miss the name booktubeathon, but I’ll get used to the new name so fast. This is such a great idea, I can’t wait to see how this website turns out and how it affects the readathon next year!!!
Haha I just left a comment on the video of the bookathon 2018 prompts asking how to participate without being a booktuber or making videos 😂! Glad there is this little project and I've donated $50 so I hope this helps. It would be great to feel like I can participate and share and make readers friends (I complain so much about how hard it is to find book lovers haha) .Thanks x
at first I wasn't too exited when I saw the new name on twitter, but hearing about the website and the fact that it's just to make it more descriptive of what this readathon really is makes me excited!
Omg this is so exciting! I’m kind of new to the booktube community and I’ve always wanted to participate in booktubeathon Now I finally will in 2019 this is so exciting!
I love this! It is such a great idea! Since the reading rush is for such a limited time each year, I would love to see a small section about other read-a-thons. Just a small chronological list with the name of the read-a-thon (or reading challenge) and the name of who is hosting it. I think it would help encourage reading all year long!
love the website idea so so much!!!! I somehow always ended up traveling or taking classes during past booktubeathons but I really hope I can participate in 2019 with the new website and under a new name!
i’ve always watched people participate in the booktubeathon and haven’t actually done it myself. im so excited for this! if it does well, it should become an app!!
I've wanted to join booktube-a-thon for many years but I don't have a booktube channel and just have a book blog. Hearing these changes makes me delighted because I can now participate. I love the new name and logo. I'm excited for the website and can't wait to join. Thank you for doing this, Ariel and Raeleen (It's nice to see you again btw)!
Omg Raeleen is the best! I miss her so much 😭 Also the website sounds so cool! Not gonna lie I didn't participate the last few years because it was kinda hard to keep up with all the different platforms. This news has me jumping right back on board!
I'm cooler with this after actually hearing you talk about it. I'm one of those people who doesn't like change, but I feel like this change will be good. I think I'll miss booktubeathon because it really made me feel like I finally belonged somewhere but I love the idea of branching it out and being welcoming to all kinds of readers.
This is so exciting! The name alone just takes it to a whole new level. B) And I'm really loving the branding so far, especially those colors on the mug! I have a question though... on the indiegogo page it says that the final mug design may differ slightly.... how slightly are we talking here? I think it's the most beautiful mug I've ever seen as is. Just wondering if I'll still love it once it's finalized. ':D Hehe! Silly thing I know, but it's informing my decision. So excited to see booktubeathon morphing into something even bigger and cooler!
Although the previous name is really special, this makes sense! And I think this website will be epic! 😍 Is Raeleen making any videos? Missed watching her channel 😭
Where do we put our daily activities for the challenges at to win the prizes? You didn't tell us on day one where the day one or how day one suppose to be posted.
I have another request can we keep the readathon within the summer time because that was the only time I could do it. I really enjoyed it this past year was hard because it was going past the summer. I couldn't read much this year because I work during the year but not in the summer where I can read more. Summer made the readathon easier to read. Thankyou cant wait for next year.
i have one request! if you incorporate book ratings on your website.... please do what goodreads has neglected for years and make half stars possible lol
Emily Michelle If that becomes a part of the website I promise to do my best, hahahaha
i'm so excited about this!!! congrats on taking this readathon to the next level guys :))
Thank you so much, Emma! It means a to to us to have the support of fellow booktubers!!

I have to be honest, it’ll take me a little while to come to terms with the name change! I completely understand why you’ve done it though, I’ll just miss the word booktubeathon :( what you’re doing sounds great though, I would lovvvveeeee to have a website like that!
sameeeee im so sad to see the name go but its for a good cause 😄.
maybe they can keep the name when talking about the youtube challeges. so we won't miss it completly
We felt the exact same way 💕💕🙈 So many good associations!! But hopefully our new name will grow in your heart too!!
This is such an amazing and exciting step towards a whole new level for booktubeathon which is now The Reading Rush! I'm honestly very very very very excited!!! Holy crap and seeing Raeleen on screen again is making me tear a little. I can't wait for this project to ascend to a new level. :)

I. Love. This. And also you guys, Ariel and Raeleen. We haven’t seen Raeleen in a long time!! But this is still awesome!!!!!
I didn’t think it was possible for me to be more excited about “the reading rush” I was proven wrong. Yay!
Haha I just left a comment on the video of the bookathon 2018 prompts asking how to participate without being a booktuber or making videos 😂!
Glad there is this little project and I've donated $50 so I hope this helps. It would be great to feel like I can participate and share and make readers friends (I complain so much about how hard it is to find book lovers haha) .Thanks x
The change makes much sense and you guys did a great way of explaining your reasoning! I’m excited to see this flourish!

OMG THIS IS SO COOL
Jay G so glad you think so, Jay! It’s nice to hear people like you, who have participated in it for so long, like the idea!!!!

SkyeAngelBooks Burgess Of course! We just need to raise money to build the website!
This is so cool!
This is so exciting!
I have another request can we keep the readathon within the summer time because that was the only time I could do it. I really enjoyed it this past year was hard because it was going past the summer. I couldn't read much this year because I work during the year but not in the summer where I can read more. Summer made the readathon easier to read. Thankyou cant wait for next year.
