I think it's maybe because they read so many so fast and all of them read the same/similar books. I think it ruins the joy of reading. Also I think having a tbr for the month might be too restrictive as your mood might not match the books that are on your chosen tbr that month.
Don’t force yourself to read because you want to get through your physical tbr! If reading becomes a chore you’ll resent it. You could always donate some of your physical books to goodwill or sell them or do random giveaways on your Instagram! Life is short, don’t read books you don’t want to 💕 :)
The representation of avoidant attachment is also why I ATE Just For The Summer for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Abby is so talented & her books feel like therapy
the bergman brothers!! tbh i had no motivation to read any other book because i read "everything for you" and it was so good and non of the other couples came close to them for me :'))
imagine if i have a full time job and am studying. and you’re a full time student. it’s not fair to compare how much you study with how much i do right? so don’t compare how many books you read to how many she did when THIS IS HER JOB.
The comment about audiobooks when you just cannot physically read! that was very much me in April, audiobooks are a total game changer!. so many of these are on my TBR. So glad you loved IWWV, I read that at the start of the year and adored it, will have to check out the secret history...
Funny Story is also now my third fav Emily Henry Book! I still have to read Beach Read but my ranking is Happy Place, People We Meet On Vacation, Funny Story, then Book Lovers. I think HP & PWMOV stand out to me more due to the split timeline narrative but Funny Story was cute!
hi Heather! I recently discovered Chloe Liese and while I haven’t read the Bergman brothers series yet, I have read the book mentioned on the front cover ‘Two Wrongs Make a Right’ which is book one in the Wilmot Sisters trilogy. The second book ‘Better Hate Than Never’ was my personal favourite and the third book ‘Once Smitten, Twice Shy’ is releasing Jan 2025. They’re technically interconnected standalones but I read both in the published order as the found family story made more sense and might spoil. I highly recommend! 🥰
Have been trying to get into The Secret of History for a couple months now, just checked my Spotify and the audio is included with premium. Will definitely try with the audio!
idk what it was about this month, but i felt like most of the books i read just fell flat and now im in a slump where everything feels equally disappointing....hopefully next month we'll turn it around bestie!!! love the vid!!!!
I too had a reading slump when I tried to read books from a tbr rather than whatever I wanted at the moment. I just embraced being a mood reader, who cares if i own books I haven't read? They look nice on the shelf 😂
I can’t wait to finish funny story, i got really exited by your review!!! and I TRUST YOUR OPINIONS 😍🫶 Heather, do a horror reading vlog!!!! I believe you’d be more relaxed to have a free tbr month where you can pick anything you’re in the mood for at the moment, which means less chance for experiencing another semi-reading slump and you can make various of reading vlogs/day pf life vlogs since it’s a free tbr month 👌✨✨✨
Could we possibly do both tbr video and horror reading vlog because they honestly both sound good! I wouldn’t care of it was combined into one video lol
i devoured babel by rf kuang last month and ever since i can't bring myself to finish another book lol like i got reading burn out or something... maybe i shouldve paced myself with that one 😅
The books I physically own, I find a lot on Libby. Being a mom of 4, the noise level says nope! So, Audiobooks, it is! I listen to a lot of books while I am working. If I do not feel the book, I'll soft dnf it and come back to it later on in the month or I'll dnf it completely. I ain't got the time for shitty books.
there is one book called Navigating through time by an American author Named Eric jones the book is quite expensive but it isa mind-blowing book the ebook costs 490 rs but every penny was worth spending i am a book lover and this book blows my mind importance of time time management time i have never read a book better then this one on time management ONE must at least Once in life read it read it once in life man
I would’ve much rather been gut punched than read about Daphne’s relationship with her dad because it felt like Emily was coming for my neck. I was SOBBING through it.
Wait i know i subscribed to your channel before. What? How did i get unsubscribed. RUclips needs help here 😅😢. Like common now. Theres another channel that apparently wont keep me subscribed too. Even though i get notifications from that channel. RUclips is broken yet again lol. But ya im glad i found your videos again 😀

idk what it is but i feel like everyone is in a slump these days!

i’m also in a slump 😭
Same! I keep seeing it and I’m in one too
@@ctunderman yeah i have been trying to switch things up but no success so far 😢
Girl I would watch anything you post. So yes tbr and horror vlog 😂
best thing abt the start of the month = the best booktubers posting wrap ups

when you were talking about listening to audiobooks because you can’t read a physical book is so relatable 😭😂. Audiobooks are so addictive
The representation of avoidant attachment is also why I ATE Just For The Summer for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Abby is so talented & her books feel like therapy
it's criminal for me to be here this early
7:20 the way my jaw dropped and got emotionally invested without reading the book😭 *adds to TBR*
I NEED YOUR MAY TBR! BUT HORROR VIDEO IS A MUST TOO
I can't believe that I'm watching a book video at 5 am, but anything for great book videos. Thanks for your recommendations😊
Lol it's after midnight now lmao 🤣. I need to go to sleep 😴😅. Hehe.
YESSS OUR GURLLL HAS POSTEDDDD!!! Any video from you we will love lol
MOM I GOTTA GO, HEATHER POSTED 🏃♀️💨💨
Fellow reading slumper here! 😂 Reading Ken Follett right now and it might just be the antidote I needed
I love the TBR jar videos but the horror books sound so good too! I'm torn
Funny story was so what i needed this month 😂
heather! i just love you and your videos so much!! 🥹🫶🏻
the bergman brothers!! tbh i had no motivation to read any other book because i read "everything for you" and it was so good and non of the other couples came close to them for me :'))
You ONLY read 11!! 😅😅 Girl, uni has taken up my time. I've not read one book so far. 😅
Girrrrl same🥲 uni is killing me
Reading is apart of my job so that’s why I said that LOL!
imagine if i have a full time job and am studying. and you’re a full time student. it’s not fair to compare how much you study with how much i do right? so don’t compare how many books you read to how many she did when THIS IS HER JOB.
Oh my god I would LOVE to see you reading horror for a week ❤
The second book in the Bergman brothers series is soooo good
The comment about audiobooks when you just cannot physically read! that was very much me in April, audiobooks are a total game changer!. so many of these are on my TBR. So glad you loved IWWV, I read that at the start of the year and adored it, will have to check out the secret history...

omgg was so excited for this video. can't believe you had me waiting for your review of iwwv for a whole month. so glad you loved it 🫶🫶

Absolutely agree about listening to The Secret History as an audiobook! It helped me out when I found parts slow too :)
i could watch hours and hours of this. literally i’m just laughing my ass off at her laughing her ass off. so contagious i love it
Ohhhhh the horror vlog sounds amazing!
Just for the summer, funny story, and wild love are all on my May TBR 😌
May TBR please even if you don't get through them it's fun to see your current hope to reads! 😁
I’m still reading Funny Story and I’m loving it. I relate to the main character so much. 💜
Girl same! I don’t know what it was about April but I could only listen to audiobooks. 9 out of 13 of my reads were audiobooks 😭😭
heather can you make a video for summer reads recs??! my semester ends next week and i’m channeling my summer energy!!
YES! I will this month!
can’t wait to pick up just for the summer and rule book!! and i will definitely leave the familiar for september/october!

I can’t wait to read funny story and happy place I keep putting it off because I don’t want to be disappointed
Could we possibly do both tbr video and horror reading vlog because they honestly both sound good! I wouldn’t care of it was combined into one video lol

If we were villains is one of my top reads so far this year.
new heather video? IM SAT!😁😁
Give me all the videos! I'd watch you talk about anything! ❤
do the vlog pls 🥰
however i will miss the tbr vid 😢
Love the 24 hour reading
ughhhh funny story was a miss for me and i’m so upset because it was my most expected read :(
For horror, please read a Stephen Graham Jones book!❤
yesssss a horror vlog!!
i just didn’t vibe with funny story and it’s so sad😭. it felt nothing was happening. they were just having quality time together and just that.
i devoured babel by rf kuang last month and ever since i can't bring myself to finish another book lol like i got reading burn out or something... maybe i shouldve paced myself with that one 😅
Wait I’m excited for a horror book vlog
I fear you have to do both a may tbr and a horror books for a week vid now!! Sorry we’ll all watch anything u post diva 🖤

The books I physically own, I find a lot on Libby. Being a mom of 4, the noise level says nope! So, Audiobooks, it is! I listen to a lot of books while I am working. If I do not feel the book, I'll soft dnf it and come back to it later on in the month or I'll dnf it completely. I ain't got the time for shitty books.
The crocs 😭
