I'm thrilled you are not reading as many hyped books, as a booktubers' own taste leads to greater variety of books to learn about👯♀️
I miss your videos and great contents, and I miss your voice so much!! I support you 100% but I really look forward the day you come back!!!
Yes it is very hard to sift through the Booktube hype for quality books! I’m working on that next year too.
Congratulations on 94 books, Helene! I read slowly and what with various commitments and tasks I finished reading only 25 books this year but I enjoyed the books. I seem to average about 40 books per year and my unofficial goal for 2019 is 45 as it was for this year. I want to read in books in what I call the Three E's: Entertainment, Education and Edification.
I love watching your videos. they make me feel less guilty about wanting to take my time and truly enjoy the books rather than trying to read as many as i can.
Having fun reading is always the best goal to have! I've recently looked at some of my older eviews and they were so much more analytical and organized, thinking about getting back to that maybe.
You are my inspiration to read more. Happieeee new year Helene!!
Hi Helene! I just want to say that you're beautiful and I love your videos. You have helped me a lot about picking some of the best books. Kudos!!
Happy New Year! 🍀
Happy New Year, Helene! Your videos bring much bookish joy - thank you!
Happy New Year !
Happy New Years! I would like to thank you for the many great books you have recommended this year, many of which I really enjoyed.

Yes! Read for fun and be patient happy new year! Helene Have fun and be safe
Happy New Year 👋🍀☘️🎉
Happy New Year, Helene!
Happy New Year to you Helene!
Maid and I Miss You When I Blink are two books I've read and loved that are coming out in 2019!
Happy new year to you as well.
Happy new year dear Helene, and yes you should finish the Passage trilogy! 🥰
Happy new year to you and Zeus!
Aww, excellent video. I like your thinking....taking it casual and most importantly enjoying your books without the pressure. I am with you regarding the "need" to read hyped books.....it shouldn't be like that, should always be personal choice. In the meantime I wish you a very Happy New Year when it lands xx.
Happy New Year Helene. Hope 2019 is a fantastic reading year for you. Meow to Zeus. 🎉
You read so many pages! It's insane. :D Congrats! I didn't enjoy Talking As Fast As I Can as much as I hoped I would but I'm happy to hear you did. Good luck on your 2019 goals!
Happy new year :) may all your dreams come true in 2019
Happy New Year!! 🎊 I also plan to lower my goal for next year so that I don’t feel pressured to meet a number, especially since I am reading longer books as well as lots of nonfiction which I purposely read slower.
happy new year to you and Zeus! :)
I agree with you and library use. I have used my library a lot in the past year but want to read more of my own books. I will still utilize Libby and Hoopla for audio and ebooks. Good luck with your reading goals.
Happy new year, hoary reading :0)
HAPPY NEW YEAR...thank you for your wonderful videos...hugs, Julierose
Your haircut looks great, by the way!
Happy New Year! I try to only read books that sound like I would really like them, and so far (knock on wood), it seems to be working. My lowest ratings this year were 3 stars. I also decluttert my tbr list on Goodreads, removing more than 50 books. Most of those books I added to my tbr when I found the Goodreads site, and I wasn't selective about adding them. So I'm ready for 2019 (on the book front at least lol)
Hey there Helene. How are you doing? Happy New Year to you too. I know exactly how you feel. I like to listen to books at a much slower rate than many other people. I think that 50 books is a great goal. I did want you to know, that I checked on Amazon.com, and I was able to find an audio version of the Teacher book that you talked about, so I decided to pick it up. I will be sure to let you know what I think about it once I have read it. Including this book, I have about 4 other biographies that I have been meaning to look into reading. Right now I am currently reading/listening to 2 different books that I have picked up from a special library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. It is called the Library of Congress Talking Book Topics program. It also has an app called the Braille Audible Reading Database where I can download audio books that a volunteer has read out loud from cover to cover word for word. I have been legally blind, I wear contact lenses and thick glasses, for all of my life, so I use that and audible to find my next great read. Right now, I am currently reading first the Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield and second the Burning Stone by Kate Elliott. I hope that you get that book that you wanted. Also, I am going to be continuing with my readathon of all of the rest of the J. R. R. Tolkien books that I have found. See ya. Julie
I love your channel and your hair is awesome! Hugs from Brazil ;)
Normal People is on my list too. I've had it on hold in the library since September, but it's still not made it's way to me! Happy New Year, and have a great reading year too!
Helene, I’m right there with you on avoiding hyped books. Check out The Officer’s Ward by Marc Dugain. It’s a French book, super fast read, but definitely worth it. Also an American book called I Lost My Love In Baghdad by Michael Hastings. Both quick reads, but so poignant and great themes. I think you would appreciate them.
I’m also frequently disappointed by hyped books. In the past few years I’ve participated in some reading challenges and read books that weren’t really to my taste just because they fulfilled a challenge category. I promised myself I won’t do that in 2019. I am only reading books I really like.
The Passage series is good, but definatly dystopian. I had to stop the genre for a while after finishing all 3. Read at your own risk. But, please let me know when you finish. I'd luv to hear your impressions.
We will always have too many books to read just enjoy. I put my goal at the least amount that I want to read.
I think Booktube would benefit from creators reading what they want to read not what's popular. I heard others creators express the same goal and I think it's fantastic. I have decided to use a jar to pick what books I want to read so it's making me be selective of the books I add to my library.
My goal for reading in 2018 was to read 50 books. I only ended up reading 45...not bad. I'm aiming for 52 in 2019.
Should read🤓🤣🤣
Yes, I think you should reading the passage trilogy
Hey! may I recommend you a book?I . It's SAPIENS BY YUVAL NOAH HARARI. It's an obligatory read for every single human being on this planet....prolly the best book of all time and my favourite. A super easy to read, It's figuratively going to blow your mind if not literally...just read the first 36 pages and you'll know what I'm talking about
P.s. I love your eyes
Have you read any books by Michael Chabon? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Chabon
Did you read some philosophy ?
the longest book I've ever read in my life is Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
