    Happy New Year. I’m glad that you started this year healthier than last year. One of my goals this year is to also spend less time on Instagram. I found myself mindlessly scrolling rather than making and posting content. We will see if moving it to my desktop helps. I absolutely love the idea of having your husband select and wrap books!!! I might try that with one of my friends. I’ve also ordered a copy of The Known World. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing videos on your new art channel.

    Happy New Year!
    I’ve heard of Fable. I haven’t had much luck with participation in my book club on there, but I do participate in others. I enjoy it because I don’t feel distracted by non-bookish posts like I am with Instagram. 😅
    I’m focusing on supporting other book groups this year and choosing books for my own. No reading challenges in 2024 except reading a couple longer books: The Tale of Genji, The 1619 Project, and King (my mama is really enthusiastic about buddy reading this one). I am also setting a goal to practice my Spanish at least 30 min to an hour daily for 2024. 🤞🏾
    Good luck with your 2024 reading goals! Cheers to another year!

    I loved Les Liaisons Dangereuses when I read it 25+ years ago! I think I found it quite a quick read! I also try to read every day but there are times when life just gets in the way. One thing I don't think I can commit to, is reading novels 400+ pages! Really looking forward to hearing about your favourite reads of 23!

    • @browngirlreading
      @browngirlreading  6 месяцев назад

      I read it in the early 1990s. so a reread is perfect. I don't mind books over 400+ as long as they are captivating.

    Hi and happy new year. I enjoyed your video. Your goals sound cool. I was shocked that you haven’t read 100 books a year because you read so much. I believe you read the equivalent of 100 books because your read so many pages per book. I haven’t done it either. One day, I’d like to.
    Having your husband pick your books was cool. I thought about having my husband do it too, but I might not read them. 😂
    I’m making my goal for the year now as well. I’m under the weather, so I’ve been taking it easy.
    I’m looking forward to seeing your art. I’m junk journaling now on my channel. I decided not to create another channel because I used to do all these things in the same space, years ago.
    I’m looking forward to listening to your reviews. Many of the books on my shelves are there because you recommended them.
    That book your husband picked is interesting, but also feels taboo. Did you review it on your channel previously?
    Looking forward to connecting with you.
    Happy reading!!!

    • @browngirlreading
      @browngirlreading  6 месяцев назад

      No I haven't had the pleasure of reading 100 books. The most I've read is 75 I believe. Who knows there has to be a first time for that. Yeah I've decided to open up a different channel because I know the majority of people subscribed here for the book talk and aren't interested in my art musings. I could tell from both times that I did Vlogmas. Those vlogmas videos have the lowest views. I look forward to seeing your junk journaling.

    You should allow yourself a joker, every time there is a book wrapped, which you have already read. And to be picking an unread one from that shelf.
