    My goal was to read 5 books this year. I was in a reading slump of 5+ years, I used to read at least 100 books a year and with my ADHD getting worse over time I stopped reading. 🙈
    So far I've hit 5 books! I'm so proud of myself and can't wait to keep reading more 😄

      yess this is so me!!! i used to love reading but with my adhd also getting worse over time it got harder to switch tasks and focus. just recently got on meds in august and i made it a goal to read 10 books before 2023 is over (i'm at 6) and we've got this!!

      Yesss good job! That’s also my goal and I’ve only read 3 so far I’m currently on my 4th I think I might do it!

      I used to struggle to. Best thing i did for my self is turn on the audio book as i follow along on the physical copy. It was the only thing that could get me through my assigned AP Lit readings.

    I started reading again after almost 6 years, so my goal was „only“ 30 books. Since I’m currently at 41, I wanna finish 50 😄
    100 are definitely admirable!

    Hi Ali! I wanted to give some book recs so... here they are
    1. The serpent and dove series is one of my faves. It's set in France when the church was the government and people believed in witches, except the witches were actually real and there are chasseurs (witch hunters). You follow the story of Louise Le Blanc and Ried Diggory. They are forced to marry and so on, and THE PLOT IS CRAZY!!! You do need to keep in mind that all three books are basically consecutive, so where the first book ends, the second book starts right away. Due to this, there are SO MANY cliffhangers. 5-star series for me!!! Also, the books are like 550 pages each so.... good luck!!!
    2. The Plated Prisoner series by Raven Kennedy is a 6-star series for me!!! It follows Auren who is called 'the king's gold favoured'... like she is LITERALLY GOLD! The books are so crazy and there is a kind of love triangle... it's hard to explain, so it would make me so happy if u read it!!!
    3. Twilight. It's self-explanatory. Maybe you could do a Twilight reading vlog to see your thoughts!!!
    4. On the edge by Joanna Mazurkiewicz is a romance between a rich, Scottish man named Dexter and a nurse who is a pole dancer in her free time named Sasha. This book is SPICY, like spicy from the first sentence. If you are in the mood for a really spicy romance... this is it.
    5. I just saw My Fault by Mercedes Ron on your cart and I would just like to say I LOVED this book! It is definitely and bad boy-good girl romance an if basically finished in 1 sitting. I hope you enjoy it!
    Anyway, those are my book recs! I hope you take them into consideration for some of your next reads! I love your book videos, they are such chill vibes and always get me in the mood to read!

    I officially got back into reading last spring and read 37 books last year. This year I decided to try for 50 and I’m getting so close!! I’m currently on book 44 (Finale by Stephanie Garber) and I’m really loving it and now getting super excited for the following series!! 😃😝 Also, keeping my fingers crossed I can hit my goal! 🤞 50 is a lot for me and it would feel so satisfying to read that many. 😊
    I hope you have fun and enjoy all your reading as you get closer to your goal as well!! Good luck Ali!! 😊❤️

    i read 4 books last year, I really tried to commit to reading and getting off my phone this year.. on top of a very overbearing work schedule where i’m always on call and have weird hours I set myself a goal of 2 books a month (24 books) in 2023… so far i’m on book 45!

  • @lorylland
    @lorylland Год назад

    My goal for this year was 50 books. I was such a slow reader the past two years, that the most I read in year was 55 and 48. So I thought 50 books would be a good goal. I'm proud to say that, some time this year my reading has improved and I read now, 12 books a month, instead of 6. My goal has been reach! I'm up to 83 books, and counting!!
    I know you can do it, Ali. Thank you for inspiring so much.

  • @kellyschwartz27

    I've been in a reading slump the last 2 years but it started to get better during August of this year, so I challenged myself to read 20 books by the end of the year. I'm currently at 14, just 6 more to go! I love watching your videos for inspo to get out of my mini reading slumps 😂

    This is the first year that I haven’t been studying or at uni, I hadn’t read a book since I was 15 because working and studying was taking all my brain power. Buuuut I’ve read 51 books since March and I’m so excited! My goal was 15 this year and I’ve smashed that out of the park. Plus, my mental health is so much better now that I’m not spending as much time on my phone too ☺️

    Last year I read very few books for fun... this year however, my goal has changed twice! initially I wanted to read 15 books. By April or May of this year I hit that goal, and now I am on the road to completing 50 books this year! I have about 10 to go, but I might push myself to read more that 50 books by the new year! we will see! while reading is a new hobby of mine, am only enjoying it more as time passes and as I see content from booktubers like yourself! keep up the amazing work Ali! We all appreciate you!

    I’ve read the Everyday novel version, and thought it was a really unique premise. The graphic novel sounds really intriguing I’ll have to find myself a copy of the graphic novel soon. On another reading note, if you love ebooks, Immersive Translate should be right up your alley. You can use it to translate the ebooks waiting in your TBR list that’s written in another language. Are you a manga fan? There’s also a cool feature, where you can get accurate translations to the manga you’re currently reading, which is a total plus.

    As a reader and writer, I knew I could never do anything ambitious like that, cause half my "reading" time would go to my other hobby, writing (plus I also illustrate for my stories so that's more time) so I did 10 books at the start, then got to the goal and changed it to 15 and now I'm around 20.. have to check again and some of the books I read aren't on goodreads, so I've read more lol

  • @squishybear8286

    When I’m behind or getting behind, I always read poetry books, novellas, or graphic novels/comics. I know some people would kind of consider that to be like cheating, but honestly it helps so much. Often times I can read multiple graphic novels/comics in a day, a novella takes like 2 days, and poetry books could be anywhere from an hour or a few hours depending how long the poems are.

I don’t know if you’ve read it but it’s a about this girl who’s bf dies and she’s able to call him and speak to him again. It’s a really sweet romance book I think you would like!

    Ali, I have a question for you! Have you ever read the love and gelato series by Jenna evans welch? Im on the third and final book, and its so good if you haven't read it. I totally recommend it as a fellow reader!

    I am only 10 books away from 100 books. I am so excited to see if I can make it.

    My reading goal for this year was 20 books, but then I changed it to 25, and I have two books left for this year! 🎉🎉

    I can read genuinely fast if I stop getting distracted, but I have no idea how to stop getting distracted 😭 like I try to turn my phone off but then I need to watch a tiktok that popped into my head and it makes me annoyed. Hopefully when I try to read on my kindle I don’t get distracted

    If you're looking for something to read I highly recommend reading "Shade Me" series by Jennifer Brown.

    I’m going to try to read 25. That’s just over 2 books a month. I think that’s doable. 🎉

    My challenge was 15 but I started reading seriously in October so I’m 3 books behind and I’m currently reading Crescent city 😂 so I’m definitely not hitting 15 by Jan 1
