    I read 16 books this year (excluding all the reading I did for university) and I'm so happy about it. I went through years of reading slump so I am really happy to be back to reading. I am also very tempted to go on Goodreads to take part in your bookclub. Loved your video!

  • @SewFun
    @SewFun 6 лет назад

    One of my favorite things that you do is when you read books that become 'hidden gems'. I have picked up a few books because you made them sound intriguing, when they aren't super popular books. I would love to see you do that kind of thing maybe every few months. It's just really nice that you do books you like but not necessarily ones everyone is doing.

    102 books is pretty impressive, Emily! I'm pretty nerdy about my book stats too. Speaking of which, I read almost exclusively SFF myself. The last few years it's been like 85-90%.

    Foxhole was the best comment. Or reading with Emily. Also can't wait for reading vlogs! They don't need to be so... Polished. Each is unique, and it never gets boring like the favourites or tropes because usually people talk about the same books there.

  • @Wolfhailstorm
    @Wolfhailstorm 6 лет назад

    I love a book stat video every now and then! Love the depth of this!
    I love my library and was on the way to becoming a volunteer, but they've had to hold the application cause my area is struggling against the government at the moment as they want to make cuts! I've been really consistent, trying to take out more books, in the hopes that it will save them! :(

  • @krthurber1
    @krthurber1 6 лет назад

    Your goals for the channel sound awesome! I also looked back at the year and started to realize that I was forcing myself to read books because I "should" instead of because I want to. I am going to make 2019 a year of fun and interesting books.
    P.S. I don't care which camera you use, it'll be great!

    @poorlyfleshedskeleton5873 6 лет назад

    I'm so excited about your series about reading popular books! For the camera thing, while the informality of vlogging is fun and a nice change-up, to me the most important and interesting part is just the updates and getting fresh opinions as people read things because it is more in depth and also because it's interesting to see how opinions change over time.

    I'm glad you talk about the library a lot. I used to spend a fortune on books, and then to save money I went through a phase of rereading my old books all the time. But in hearing you mention the library I realized that I had three nearby, and decided to check them out. Between my library and Book Outlet I've saved a ton of money on books this year.

    A female sci-fi author I discovered in 2018 is Julian May. There are two series she wrote that I am hoping to finish in 2019. The Galactic Milieu series and The Saga of the Exiles series. She was recommended by a friend who said to read a book by her called Intervention first then move onto the Galactic Milieu series then move to Saga of the Exiles as they are all linked and that is the order my friend recommends to get the best reading experience the first time through as Saga of the Exiles does contain spoilers for Galactic Milieu. I have finished Intervention and Jack the Bodiless in 2018 and now I am on Diamond Mask and enjoying them.

    Divide the year into thirds and do a resolutions check in every end of April, end of August, and end of December?

    Are those detailed statistics from Goodreads or you make them? Because I don't see them on Goodreads. 😅

      Sugar Reads you should be able to look at Your Year in Books for some of those stats.

      @@StellaPlayss Don't get me wrong, thank you for your help. I just wanted to explain what statistics I had in mind, because I realised that I didn't specify it in the first comment. Thank you for your answer!
