questions:
1/ You have 20,000 books on your TBR. How in the world do you decide what to read next?
2/ You’re halfway through a book and you’re just not loving it. Do you quit or are you committed?
3/ The end of the year is coming and you’re so close, but so far away on your Goodreads reading challenge. Do you try to catch up and how?
4/ The covers of a series you love do. not. match. How do you cope?
5/ Every one and their mother loves a book you really don’t like. Who do you bond with over shared feelings?
6/ You’re reading a book and you are about to start crying in public. How do you deal?
7/ A sequel of a book you loved just came out, but you’ve forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you re-read the book? Skip the sequel? Try to find a synopsis on Goodreads? Cry in frustration?!?!?!?
8/ You do not want anyone. ANYONE. borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope when they ask?
9/ Reading ADD. You’ve picked up and put down 5 books in the last month. How do you get over your reading slump?
10/ There are so many new books coming out that you’re dying to read! How many do you actually buy?
11/ After you’ve bought the new books you can’t wait to get to, how long do they sit on your shelf before you get to them?

Worse than someone liking a book you hate - being gifted a book that is clearly their absolute fave and you just can't get into it and you have to hope it never comes up in conversation :s
Anna-May Moon oh damn yeah that’s a nightmare 🎃
Hahaha this is such a funny comment have wonderful days InshAllah :) :) :)
i love this filming spot, it feels like we’re just chilling in your room and talking about books. 🥰
I used to work in a book store, which.... the ENTIRE job was nodding along while people talked about books they loved that you hate.
“I’m gonna read 100 books.” *a few days later* “lol no I’m not” IM CRYING AT HOW THAT WAS ME 😂😭
sitting in an armchair surrounded by bookshelves: "you know, back in the day..."
I've pretended to an author's face that I hadn't read his books because I didn't like them that much but he's the absolute nicest guy so I didn't want to tell him so...
TheLightWells I’m so curious now. What author?
@@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks His name's Darren Groth. He lives in my town and has done a few events in the bookstore where I work, so I know him a bit.
I need myself a comfy chair like that! Studying for my midterms but have to watch this instead!
Oh my I was thinking the same!
Jacklyn Cunningham it’s from ikea and I love it!!!!
Ariel Bissett why am i proud that ik that that seat is from ikea 😂
You’re giving me real Donna Sheridan vibes when you laugh in that denim jumpsuit
The part about Michelle Obama was so funny, it's 3 am here and I am laughing like a maniac
JaqWantsMeToWrite DISASTER
You have such a positive attitude to book problems! I’m certainly going to try and adopt some of these mindsets myself to help get over reading guilt! Also, yes tags are the best and your Michelle Obama story was hilarious xx
Izzy Wanders we should all be free of book guilt!!!!!
I don't over do it with my Goodreads goal, I start out low and gradually make it higher throughout the year
YOU'RE THE QUEEN OF THIS COMMUNITY LIKE SERIOUSLY YOU'RE THE QUEEN
You are a breath of fresh air! I always feel so guilty for buying too many books and not reading them fast enough/ not finishing them etc which is ridiculous as reading is meant to be fun, not flipping stressful!
"Release that pressure" is such real advice, the interwebs makes that you feel like you need to be reading all the time bc so many thangs are coming out and you feel like you want to support but I do want to read the books I have even the ones that have been here for years. I also think I shall read all the ones I own, oneeee day. Oh my gosh I remember when she said Life of Pi & giggled at your nod, such a moment! Love this corner so much by the way, you look so comfy, yay cute outfit!
literally the other day i told someone that i hated a book and then they responded by saying it was their favourite and thus, my life
For me, whenever I get into a series, all of the books are usually already out 😂 I don’t know why I somehow don’t pick up new series it just happens. Gets rid of the stress of waiting for the next book at least!
I'm not sure if this is the "new" you, but I love that you're practically giddy with happiness -- it looks like you're in such a good place and it's an infectious attitude! I agree on the hating thing (so many things to love, who wants to spend time talking about anything else), but have to say that Life of Pi is one of my all-time favourite books and a distinctly memorable reading experience for me. So I'm pretty sure you were nodding to MO on my behalf, lol. And series are another of my favourite things, but I tend to only read ones that are complete or so long that my interest is waning by the time I'm up to date. Thanks so much for continuing your booktube journey with us!
I love the vibe of this, both relaxed and exciteable but also super chill and "no pressure" messages. This is what I love about your style. And yeah tags are super fun!
Watching this with a cup of tea was a great way to spend my lunch break. Thanks Ariel 😊
I'm laughing and crying watching this. Your description of your dad giving you the Harry Potter book was so funny. Also loved your bun flopping about on your head.
Genuine question here: Could someone explain to me why lending books to other people is seen as such a terrible thing here?
I do get that you want to be protective of your books, but if someone you trust not to do terrible things to your property asks to borrow a book, what's the harm?
Personally, I've actually been known to actively suggest that someone borrow a book of mine if they seemed intrigued.
My local library is not at all well stocked, either, so I tend to get excited when someone wants to borrow a book because that means we'll get to discuss it together!
In my mind, sharing is caring - and if it adds to the whole experience, then that's even better!
Aside from graphic novels, every time I let someone borrow a book from me it gets stolen!! Even by teachers! I've lost quite a few favorites because of this. 😂
Hopefully it's because they loved it.
My thing is, is that when I lend my books to a friend that I trust them another friend that I'm not so sure about I can't really say no because, you know...
@@miless7428 This was a bit of an issue within my friend group about 10 years ago. I was very protective of my books and I had friends who often wanted to borrow them. The problem is they didn't take care of them. I had some friends who would eat as they read and leave crumbs in the book. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. It still is. Now if I said no to them, it would cause some kind of tension. Eventually, we talked it out but it caused a serious rift back in 7th grade.
There are a few books I own that I am a bit protective of. But even those I will lend out to people I trust. The other books on my shelves I just lend out to who is interested. I love to encourage reading and if I don’t get the book back that is not the biggest disaster. Maybe it’s getting read and loved instead of collecting dust on my shelves.
Actually most of the time I reread books that I love so I need to have them near and also I always annotes things in books so it feels too personal that people could read an underlined sentence about death or idk and be like "damn she relates to that" you know the kind of intimacy issues
Tags are so much fun! So glad that they're enjoying a resurgence. I might give this one a go in the near future! I'm with you on book series. I always feel like I HAVE to reread the previous book(s) in order to appreciate a new entry, and it takes me away from books that I just picked up and am excited to read. I've moved away from reading new series for that reason, but I'm completely fine with reading ones that have wrapped up. Also, I'm loving the Animal Crossing amiibo watching over your books. 😍
The Serial Reader I saw you tagged me in the tag you just did, it’s coming up on my channel soon!!!!! And yes, bug animal crossing fan over here 🙈
@@ArielBissett I'm excited to hear your take on the questions!
BOOK PET PEEVE: When publishers do not publish a paperback one year later. -_-
The first book that I vividly remember crying about was The Outsiders ahhhhh
The only time I remember crying in public over a book is when I was reading The Outsiders in my 7th grade english class
Guadalupe Vega I mean, hard not to 💔
So fun!!! Your laugh is so contagious! Definitely do more tags! 😊
Your energy in the video is amazing haha. Love a good tag video and this one was so chill.
Your videos always feel so spontaneous, as if we’re all hanging out and chatting about books and it’s so cozy and relaxing and just the best time 🥰
The bubbly chirpy energy in this video is all i needed to make myself happy 😊❤️
I’ve been waiting for this tag to get picked back up again because I loved it when it was a big thing in 2015, and it’s just such a fun tag!
I absolutely adore your energy! You’re the positive light that booktube needs💛
I love everything about the vibe of this video! It's so chatty and just chilled out and natural. Love it!
The amount of fun you're having recording videos is so charming
I love your jovial personality!! You must be happy💜 thanks for the great video
Omg Ariel thank you for all this positivity. I love your carefree attitude about all of these problems it was so refreshing and much much needed! And I cannot emphasize how lovely and adorable you look in this video🙈
I love how comfortable you are in the videos honestly ily
easily one of the funniest and most heartwarming of ariel's videos
you seem so happy and relaxed, I love it 💗💗
as someone who is also in a lot of transition over this past year, your videos bring me comfort and I love this video
This is SO unrelated, but I just gotta say it: You are a fashion ICON, Ariel. I've always thought so, but definitely lately your fashion game has been SO on point and I'm here for it
Okay but this video is so chill and I love it
you are so happy in this video, you are glowing, i love it
You seemed to have so much fun making this video and your enthusiasm was so contagious, so this video definitely put me in a good mood after a long and hectic day at work. Thank you for the pick-me-up!
I have definitely nodded along and pretended to like a book that I hated. Also, I LOVE your energy in this video, it made me smile the entire time 😄
I love your reading set up; the shelves and the lights are beautiful and the chair looks so comfy and zen. The last book I sobbed at was The Book Thief, I was sitting on my deck on a sunny day and got to one point that made me tear up and I put it down like "if I stop reading they can't die, this'll definitely change the outcome of the book". Man that book was so beautiful and powerful.
I absolutely loved your energy in this!
Loved the way you were so relaxed while doing this tag :)
I just have to say, I highly enjoyed this video. The parts when you just laugh, is so cute and it really made me laugh so much. Thank you, I really needed it! 😘❤
Hahah! I started putting books down. I am glad you brought up the tags. So much fun.
What a lovely video! You put a smile on my face, Ariel.
I rrrrreeeeaaaallllyyyyy really really enjoyed this video!🎉 Yes, you should do tags more often, I love them, and you girl nailed it here! Ariel, you are 💯% my favorite booktuber! 🤗
Have a great day!! 🌷🌱
Damnn I relate so much with what u've said. This year I had the biggest reading slump everrr. The best thing I could have done was to simply embrace it. I was pressuring myself way too much to upload the status on all my readings on Goodreads, I was pressuring myself to read all these classics and hyped books that most people are reading, and I just got tired of it. I just stopped reading for a while until I really felt like reading something, now things are way better. Just embrace the slump guys, give it a little tap on the back, share a cup of coffee/tea and everything is gonna be fine 😂💙
hi Ariel! ❤️ i love your positivity in your videos so much. it’s like whenever im not feeling gr8 or sad, i can always know that i will come out of watching your videos with a smile on my face :-) you’re so happy and smiley and I LOVE IT 💗💗💗 these videos feels so intimate and like we’re friends! im so glad that you’re able to be so comfortable in front of a camera, chatting about books and literally everything to us!
Rainie Veronica Tan aw friend I’m so glad 💕
Your videos are so calming and enjoyable ☺️
I love watching & doing tags too-just filmed a few and it was so fun! I enjoyed doing this tag as well!
Love the aesthetic of your reading space. I don't know the ratio of read/unread books on my shelves either and I'm fine with that
This video made me really happy, Ariel! Thank you!
Emily Walls aw yay 💕💕💕💕💕💕 that’s the best
Oh my I love this tag! I now totally want to do it on my baby book tube!
Book series are my favorite! I get so attached to books so I like when there’s another one coming
Ariel, I can relate to this video so much. Love your videos!
I love how much fun you had with this video! Also the Michelle Obama story made my day. 😂
The crying about books in public thing really got me. I remember when I was 15 and reading The Sorrows of Young Werther, I made the big mistake of taking the book to school with me to read between classes. Which ended with me being absolutely devastated by the ending, but not being able to go and cry because my French class was starting. So now I mostly just don't read in public. 😅
I am with you on this series. I have like maybe 6 series that I have stuck with. 😊
Your videos make me so happy 🥰
Tags are so fun!
I love the way you're lounging in that chair bestowing wisdom about reading the way you want. Yes Queen! Also, I share your gripes about Life of Pi. It was required reading for me in 11th grade. I was the only person in that class who wasn't feeling it at all.
1. This is the perfect filming spot: it makes me want to grab a cup of tea and munch on a cookie whilst listening to you (a thing I usually don't do as I am watching booktubers - which is ridiculous, I know). 2. Your Michelle Obama story was so funny I was glad I wasn't drinking tea because I would've snorted it out through my nose 3. Thank you for relieving me of most of my guilt towards too many unread books on my shelves and dnf'ing. 4.You're the queen of fun and uplifting videos. All hail the queen!
I love the set up of this video so much 😍
Watching at 5:30am right before I have to go to work. Great way to start my day. I need a big comfy chair!
I loved this, it was so funny and cute and chilled out! Also surprisingly made me want to pick up all my unread books and start reading them 🙈
I was about to start my chemistry homework BUT ARIEL POSTED A VIDEO AND IT CANT WAIT!
I have loved 3 series of books in my life. The three being Harry Potter, Series of Unfortunate Events, and The Princess Diaries series. Now I love them as rereads and whip through the books in a row but when they were coming out I think I just got lucky that these series kept my interest enough that it didn’t fall to the side and become the books that I pick up and put back down again 5 times. Also I love the Michelle Obama story- I thought your interview skills were superb.
Set yourself free~
Loved this tag! I try and only read series that are finished, because I really hate the waiting and am not really a rereader. But it's a real struggle sometimes.
🤣🤣🤣 ur too funny! I love your relaxed approach to books too
This video is so comfy, I love it.
Okay so I feel CALLED. TF. OUT. to your answer for question #3 LMAO. I was in a HUGE reading slump (new job, new schedule, etc.) I usually read anywhere from 5-8 books a month. I read like 2 books all summer. I wanted to get back into reading again and my way to do that is through comics and graphic novels so that answer is my life right now lol I currently have 20-30 graphic novels from the library but I don't really find it stressful, I feel like I'm in my happy place again!
"like when divergent came out in paperback and insurgent came out in hardcover"
me: glares angrily at my divergent series
I absolutely adore this little reading nook.
I love your videos they r so relaxing and nice to watch when iam in a brain train situations ❤❤❤
Love the setup! Pretty shelves!
Love this! Bring Tags Back!
Extra question concerning question 2: is there a book you've really not enjoyed at first but found yourself loving by the end? For me it was Brooklyn by Colm Toibin. For the first half I wasn't that into it but at a certain point it clicked for me and I loved it.
Great story about nodding to Michelle. 😂
Totally agree with most of your points. Now point forcing yourself to read something you just dont want to! Re goodreads, I give myself a target I know I can reach but is a little challenge (1 book a month this year since I went off reading last year). I do try to reach it and will sometimes do this strategically by picking more easy reading if I am behind and something more heavy if I am ahead of myself/on target. But I think if your goal is to read like 100 books and you can only reach it by reading very short books then maybe you should decrease your target. It's not about the number!
Considering goodreads challenges, I tend to read short stories and poetry books at the end of the year to catch up. I don't usually choose to read those kind of books so the challenge works as a motivation to choose something I wouldn't normally read.
You are my favorite booktuber! Your positivity helps my book guilt so much! P.S. where did you get that chair and is it as comfy as it looks?
loving your pajamas
Love this filming setup (and your outfit)! Unfortunately I'm still trapped in the mindset that if I'm over halfway through a book, I need to finish it. I don't know why! I know it makes no sense. Hopefully someday I will free my bedside table of all of the in-progress books I wanted to love but just didn't.
Yes more tags please
Love these chatty types of videos!
I've only read 8 books so far this year (started a lot more, just didn't finish them), and I'm a little bit embarrassed by that. While I'd like to read more, I try to remember that lots of people don't even read ONE book a year, so even 8 is more than some people read. I'm sure I'll read a couple more by the end of the year, but you know... better luck next year! :D
hello Ariel! would you ever consider doing a tour of the bookshelves behind you? Your shelves are so pretty... I’m always interested to see how people sort their books :)
I remember thinking "oh, Ariel did NOT like Life of Pi" when watching that video!
I get why people don't like borrowing books to friends - they could get damaged, the friend might not give it back to you etc. - but for me, there's nothing I like more than borrowing my favourite books to people?! It just makes me so happy to know that someone trusts my recommendations and it's always amazing to talk about the book when I eventually get it back.
I was counting the amount of books I read this year but around June I just stopped lmao
When I’m in a “reading slump” I tend to read a lot of manga
I don’t actually think reading slumps are a real thing I think it’s more like you go for a period of time not having interest in reading, which is normal for everything else in life, food for example sometimes I’m in the mood for Mexican sometimes Indian and people put some much pressure and guilt on themselves when there’s literal nothing wrong with it. And that makes me feel a bit sad actually 😂
Subscribed within 2 minutes. You're fabulous!
Thank you for this video, it felt like a lively conversation with a dear friend ❤️
I see where you're coming from. I also think, believe, I'll read all my unread books one day. I truly do.
The more I watch Ariel the more I think she would be incredible learning a signed language. She is always so expressive.
I’ve just had a dilemma because Carry On’s sequel was just released and I absolutely adored the first book, but the cover for the second book looks *nothing* like the first, and I’m positive I ordered it in hardcover when I have the original in paperback. *This is not ok.*
question: how do you...
Ariel: I don’t
😂😂
I actually liked this video very much. Thank you!
YOU SIMPLY ARE THE BEST
