    I'm thinking about making a part 2 to this video the last week of December where I actually see if I hit my reading goal. Let me know if that's something you guys want to see or if you'd rather have a new unique video idea for that week! I want to make what you guys want to see :)

    I don’t do goals anymore because I got soo burnt out last year after reading more than I ever have in one year (95 books) so my goal was actually to read less this year so I don’t get burnt out, so far it hasn’t worked though😂 I do read a lot of short books though which helps to switch things up
    Love the video!

    There's nothing more satisfying than finishing 2 books in a day 🫶 Jennifer Lynn Barnes is my favourite author, no one writes quite like her!! Book 4 in the Naturals is devastating, I also recommend reading the novella Twelve! And when you are done with the series, every other one by her is literally as good, I love the Fixer duology 😍

    I laughed when you said the Yours Truly couple should JUST TALK. I was saying the same thing when I finished it today. The audiobooks by that author are amazing too. She uses the same narrators in books 2 and 3 that I read. Swooning over the main characters Justin and Jacob.

  • @c.lstrife
    @c.lstrife 28 дней назад

    I personally put my reading goal as 12 because it's one book for each month, but I always surpass it. I roughly read 70 to +100 books each year, but putting 12 as my goal makes me feel less pressured, and it promotes healthy reading habits rather than making it a competition.

  • @meikusje
    @meikusje Месяц назад

    I'm not behind on my goals, but I am trying to get a bit ahead, so I don't 'have to' read as much during the holiday season. Of course, I don't *have to* read anyway, but you knooow. I've also for the first time ever curated a reading list for December. I'm a big mood reader, but I just so happened to get a couple of books that are perfect December reads, so I decided to make a reading list for December this time. No guarantee I'll actually read those books, but still, a good motivator, takes away the choice paralysis.
