It's totally cool to DNF a book if you're not vibing with it! Put it back on the shelf and try finishing it some other time, sell it, or donate it to the library, Goodwill, or a local nursing home (they love books!), or stick it in someone's Little Free Library for someone else to enjoy. Telling us about books you couldn't finish because you didn't like them, they were too slow, or you weren't in the headspace for them is still valid content - those are valid insights!
Thank you so much for this… I definitely am going to give myself a break in the future if I’m not liking a book to just be able to stop and not pressure myself to finish it anyway lol 🫶🏼
I was literally smiling while you talked about your vision board and your husband just there listening to you speak 🥺 I loveee your content and I’m so excited to just see your progress and for you to fall in love with so many more books💕💕
Also, I love how these vids are SO long. Genuine feels like I’m just chilling with someone who loves reading. I can go about my day and watch this while doing stuff 🤭
Congrats on 5k!!! I am SO happy you enjoyed the first AGGGTM book in the series! I always get nervous when people read it for the first time because it is one of my absolute favourites, and because I’ve never read the american version I don’t know how it translates from the British one. The fact that it was holly’s debut novel too like she is a phenomenal author. Definitely would love to see you continue the other two books, and also five survive! Five survive definitely leans more into thriller and it is soooo good I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing
Normally I get a bit bored watching reading vlogs and just end up having it running in the background but this video is so entertaining?! I literally sat and just watched without even looking at my phone one time. And btw I love that your videos are loong, I really like that you take your time and actually chat with us like we’re there. And ofc, congratulations on now 6000 subscribers!!💓🎉
Ahhh omg thank youuu (,: also this makes me so happy to hear bc that’s exactly how I want it to feel bc genuinely I feel like I’m reading with you guys too when I’m talking to the camera and it’s so fun (,: 🫶🏼
I feel you for the housemaid ! I love to be absolutely astonished in thrillers/crime/mystery and people talked so much about this book and I was disappointed too
I just found your channel and the vibes you give are amazing every video is so cozy and comforting I love it so much you make everything so realistic ❤✨
I loveeee your videos!! I got back into reading recently and felt a bit of ashame with how I read or how long it takes or you know just so many factors and watching you speak about even just little things like with the playlists make me feel so happy to know that I’m not alone. Im not sure about adhd but I have autism and dyslexia so reading is a struggle but I love it so much. Your videos are so fun and inspiring and I can’t wait to watch more !!!! Happy 5k subscribers! You absolutely deserve it :)) p.s. I’m australian
Omg an Australian girlieeee lol honestly it can be so easy to feel bad about your reading journey with all the content constantly being put out, literally me, stressing every day. Lol but I’ve really been working on reminding myself that the whole reason I started reading was because of how amazing it felt to be in a story and how great it was to lose track of time reading a book!!! Not to see how many books I could read!!! It so so hard but try to remember that 🤍🤍 and if you forget we all need to remind each other of that too ☺️
I’m literally reading a good girls guide to murder rn. I’m also like 70-100 ish pages in. Now I’m gonna read the novella first 😭 Hopefully it’ll help me finish my book goal for the year. I definitely had to lower it but it’s okay. I’m just proud of myself for reading more than last year! ☺️
Omg you’re totally fine!! I am learning this myself too but just remember its about the way the books make you feel not about how many you read 🫶🏼 for me personally I think reading the novella made me so much more invested in the first book! 🤍
Ive been watching your videos all morning! So glad I found your channel and I feel like your just so relatable. Also you and your husband are so cute the way he was just looking at you the whole time you were talking so adorable!!!
I really love your videos, you’re so kind and i love how you talk about the books! Congrats for almost 6k subs ☺️ watching your vids every single day, my fav booktuber 🥹🩷
I know the struggle of getting distracted also it’s so hard to try to read with a baby I have a 7 month old so it it’s hard. Also can I just say the way Markie looks at you is just so cute at like halfway through the video so cute ❤
I found your channel this morning, and I have not been doing anything else than watching your videoes while i knit and journal. You are such a lovely person, and I am also in the "Im gonna be a book girly" era
It's actually really refreshing and wonderful watching these vlogs. And also the way your husband looked at you while you were talking about your vision was so sweet and pure. Love from England x
Congratulations on hitting 5k....so proud of you....I haven't even read the first book you mentioned the housemaid lol but I do have the good girls guide to murder series and you're gonna love the other books....but I love this video and can't wait for more.....sending lots of love ❤ you're my favorite
If your exited to get into fantasy I feel like you would like the six of crows duo. The world itself has three books before it but you can read the two books either way.
@@HalJones yeah it’s a trilogy following another character but in the same world! There’s actually another two books after the six of crows series that take place in the same world.
I was soo looking forward to your next upload!! You spoiled us with a long vlog🥰 also!! Your personality reminds me so much of Kyrah Edwards on RUclips, love her!
Your puppers is so cute! I read The HouseMaid and one of the characters at first seemed batshit crazy but then I realized why and was like oh! But she did get on my nerves at first. ( I hope you catch who I mean. I don't want so say and spoil it for ones who haven't read it.) The way your husband is looking at you while you talk about your channel growth is so cute! Congrats on 5k!!
Congrats on 5K!! You do make great videos and I’m glad you started streaming more in October. Hubby and kiddos are adorable!!! I have the The Housemaid on my TBR list. Hard to stop the video to not hear the full spoiler review. 😊
Aww so good to see how much you enjoyed AGGGTM! Congratulations on hitting 5k subs! Also side note* when you were talking about hitting 5k subs…the way your husband looks at you when you’re talking is the CUTEST 🥹
You only have 5k subscribers!!?? Youre one of my faves i cant believe more people arent watching you! 😭❤ your content feels so relatable and REAL i love it. Youre doing great
Congratulations on getting to 5000 subs! As some others have already pointed out I love how your husband looks at you, you can totally tell that he is ALL ABOUT YOU!
Randomly found your channel and I have already watched all your videos now. Love how you are excited to make videos about books. Also super cool thumbnail 💗💗💗💗💗
As far as mysteries, I think you might like the Truly Devious books. They're super cozy, a little romance, and it's also at a boarding school of sorts for gifted kids so it has a bit of that Harry Potter coziness too. XD
i love the spoiler section actually. there are some books which i think i wouldn't wanna read but i wanna be spoilered anyways and i wanna know what's happening and often times it then gets interesting to me and i will actually read it and have fun even with the spoilers.
@HalJones Keep going! I love watching you grow. Your videos are refreshing, and you are an inspiration to others who might be hesitant to start a booktube channel. You are a great role model.
I’m so happy I found you!! You’re the first booktuber I can fully relate to. I always felt left out because it’s hard for me to read for a long time and not lose focus. Glad I’m not alone!🥹
A lot of people who may not have like housemaid as much loved housemaids secret! It's essentially the same but the twist is definitely different and catches me off guard more!
I ofc can’t think of a specific one rn LOL but honestly if you have Netflix I LOVEE their selection of documentaries!!! Max also has some great options as well!!
a simple way to find books you like is to see what movies you like to watch. in my case i love disney and fantasy movies. and the books that I read are fantasy.
I need to comment on a specific part of this video, before I forget lol... I also always listen to music while I read, because it helps me a lot to stay focused. I learned the hard way that listening to music was better for studying than total silence (full of possibilities for dreamy minds). Music seems to filter out other distractions. And depending on the playlist, it helps create the perfect reading mood. Once when reading Lord of the Rings I played the soundtrack from the films. It worked very well. ✌️
I felt the same exact way of DNFing a book! My anxiety made me feel so horrible about not liking a popular book and talking about it on camera. However, I had to tell myself to take a leap of faith and that it is okay to have different tastes and likes. Its what makes us unique! Love, love, love your content by the way and look forward to seeing your videos pop on my for you page! P.S.- If you reeeeaaalllly love true crime, I recommend looking into true crime or crime mystery authors! J.D. Robb is pretty popular however she has over 50 books in her series....lol
Yess like why is it so scary?!!? Like you said it’s honestly the beauty of reading for everyone to read the same story and be able to have different experiences with it!! ALSO thank you so much for the recs!!! 🤍🤍
So glad you enjoyed AGGGTM! I love that series. I haven’t read Killjoy. Maybe I should lol. And congrats on hitting 5k subscribers! That’s amazing. How did you do it? I haven’t even gotten to 300 yet. Also you and your husband are so cute together. I would love to see him more in your videos.
You should DEFINITELY read kill joy!! I really liked it! Also thank you so much!! 🥳🫶🏼 honestly just keep going!! I have been making videos for 4 years now and this last month is the first month I’ve done this good!! So just keep going and being consistent (: 🤍
everybody gets so caught up in everyone else’s opinions on the books they read that they often forget to form their own. i think it’s so important to read what you want to read and to dislike the books you dislike. don’t force yourself to continue a book if you’re miserable it’s totally okay to DNF books! also please get goodreads 🫶🏻
Yes, definitely learning not to be so hard on myself when I don’t like a book!! Lol also, I actually have a goodreads!! I have it linked in my bio and on my channel page (: 🫶🏼
Hal! i lovedd the vid but i noticed you're caption is still about the last video! just wanted to let you know :) hope you have are having a good reading week
Since you enjoyed A Good Girls Guide To Murder you might also enjoy Five survive. It by the same author. Congratulations on your success with subscribers!!❤
Thrillers are definitely worth it. I personally read mainly thriller/mysteries and I can’t stand Friedas writing. I know a lot of people love her but I dnf’d the housemaid and read her new one (the coworker) and regretted reading it. Maybe she’s just not an author for you :)
I preferred the housemaid’s secret over the housemaid so much more! I would definitely give it a go because it was pretty good and the plot twists were wow. I read them one after the other and I was hooked 😭 I would love to know you opinion if you read it!
Sebastian Fitzek is the king of (psycho)thriller in Germany. Maybe there are books by him that got translated? Or you try Stephen King, he is supposed to be writing good thrillers as well :)
I love my wife! So dang proud of you. -Markie
I LOVE YOUUU 🥹🫶🏼

Seeing you just staring at Hal lovingly in the clip where she talks about her channel growth is SO CUTE 😍

The way Mark looks at you- everyone one deserves that kind of love

Literally was abt to comment this, plz they’re so cute- 😭
It's totally cool to DNF a book if you're not vibing with it! Put it back on the shelf and try finishing it some other time, sell it, or donate it to the library, Goodwill, or a local nursing home (they love books!), or stick it in someone's Little Free Library for someone else to enjoy. Telling us about books you couldn't finish because you didn't like them, they were too slow, or you weren't in the headspace for them is still valid content - those are valid insights!

Since you enjoyed A Good Girls Guide To Murder you might also enjoy Five survive. It by the same author. Congratulations on your success with subscribers!!❤
Omg yessss I have been eyeing this book ever since finishing agggtm!!!
Thrillers are definitely worth it. I personally read mainly thriller/mysteries and I can’t stand Friedas writing. I know a lot of people love her but I dnf’d the housemaid and read her new one (the coworker) and regretted reading it. Maybe she’s just not an author for you :)
I’m so glad I’m not the only one!! I’ll have to try some of her other books to see !!
Also Hal, you should call your subscribers/followers pals. I think it’d be so cute 🥹. Just a suggestion tho.
Wait omg that is kinda cute… 🥹🙊🫶🏼
I preferred the housemaid’s secret over the housemaid so much more! I would definitely give it a go because it was pretty good and the plot twists were wow. I read them one after the other and I was hooked 😭 I would love to know you opinion if you read it!
I will definitely have to put it in a video if I ever do get to reading it! Lol
@@HalJones totally up to you! but I personally preferred it over the first book haha xd
Sebastian Fitzek is the king of (psycho)thriller in Germany. Maybe there are books by him that got translated? Or you try Stephen King, he is supposed to be writing good thrillers as well :)
I will have to look him up!! I haven’t tried any Stephen king books yet, for some reason I’m super intimidated by his books LOL
You should read the Last Mrs Parrish.... It was written before the housemaid 😬
Omg my bestie actually recommended this as well!!!!
