    Booktube ALWAYS gets rid of my reading slumps, I don't know what it is, seeing other people talk about books gets me wanting to read them myself.

    I hate when I'm deep into reading and someone interrupts me and attempts to have a conversation. To me that's rude and you can wait or at least say excuse me first.

    • @itsmarialifestyle4355
      @itsmarialifestyle4355 Před 8 lety +3

      +Poetic_Butterfly13 Exactly! It's funny how some people don't understand that reading is actually an activity and a very important one at that.

    • @PoeticButterfly13
      @PoeticButterfly13 Před 8 lety +3

      I know right and another thing I hate is when I'm reading and people say "Why are you reading that's boring".

      haha. for me is when im listening to music im school and my friends just talks unexpectedly so i have to take of my esrphones. that annoys the shit to me. and when they want to choose the music. and wants to keep replay it again and again. hahaha

    At some point throughout my high school years, my teachers collectively just gave up on stopping me from reading during class. :D I do realize that other people's grades would probably suffer if they just zoned into a fictional universe while in class, but that's how I managed to read tons of books. (My english teacher would give the whole class some task and then come up to me to check out what I'm reading. It was a blast.)

      @AndreaMGC Před 8 lety +17

      +Yasemin Plannertastic I had an English teacher like that. And then after class she'd ask me to stay behind and we would talk about books and she would show me her secret stash of books behind the whiteboard and give me some she wanted me to read. It was amazing.

    Eat dinner and shower for 1 hour

    @AndreaMGC Před 8 lety

    Honestly, that's how I get most of my reading done too. Right before bed or because I carry a book with me everywhere. I have 45 minute commute to school and I fill it with reading. I read while I wait for class to start, or in waiting rooms, or like you said, if I finish an exam early... There are so many little moments in a day that you spend doing nothing at all and it's a great time to read! :)

  • @rayaschannle1922

  • @BrokenBookshelf
    @BrokenBookshelf Před 8 lety

    great tips! especially the don't force it one! that's definitely something hard to come to terms with, feeling guilt because you're behind on reading, but also not wanting to ruin the reading experience by making it a chore! good luck in school this year :)

  • @jordanpearson9883
    @jordanpearson9883 Před 8 lety

    This was so helpful! I have only seen a few of your videos so far (probably going to watch more when I get some time) but you are quickly becoming a favorite book tuber of mine! I love your energy and how happy you get when you talk about books. Your videos are a way to get out of a reading slump!

  • @StarstruckFerSure
    @StarstruckFerSure Před 8 lety

    I definitely agree with the audiobooks. I tend to get exhausted easily, and audiobooks just don't make me as tired as physical books. I also "read" around 3 audiobooks a month, normally 1 big one (800-1k pages) and it makes me feel really accomplished. This way I can read a couple books still, and listen to a few...5-6 books ain't too shabby when you're super busy/exhausted!

  • @TheBookishBadger
    @TheBookishBadger Před 7 lety

    These are some great tricks! I've been watching a lot of booktube videos lately about how to read more, but I come across a lot of the same tips over and over. This video has some fresh takes on the subject, so thank you!

  • @shawne-marinnmurphy2330
    @shawne-marinnmurphy2330 Před 8 lety +9

    I totally know where you are coming from with the Gilmore Girls and Rory making you want to read more. I watched the whole series over the course of this year and I didn't read as much as I usually do at other times

  • @drewg.4779
    @drewg.4779 Před 8 lety +3

    I used to always bring books with me to school, but last year and this year (I'm a junior) I don't because if I have extra time in class I study or work on homework. If I know I'll have a lot of time, like after and exam, then I'll bring a book, but not every day. I read on the bus ride to football games and band competitions to, because during band season I know I'll have that time every week and I know about how long the bus ride is.

  • @booksboundnoveljourneys1122

    Another tip for college students or gym goers: read while walking on the treadmill. This is a lifesaver because you reach your fitness goals AND your reading goals. I love this tip so much.

    Hi Zoe! I loved this video, and with me being in my first year of college I found it infinitely helpful. I also really liked your video on BookTube tips, I started a channel nearly a month ago and I spend countless hours looking for tips, and I don't think I'm ever going to stop looking for new tips or tricks haha. I had no idea about the blue light messing with sleep though so that's good to know. And as far as always having a book with me, I have quickly become "The guy with a book" around the school cafeteria. =) Thanks for posting this and your other videos, I can't wait to see the next one.

  • @PinkZebraReads
    @PinkZebraReads Před 8 lety

    I am a freshman in college this year and one thing I learned is that I definitely need to bring a book to class every day because I get soo bored in my classes when I have nothing to do! This video actually motivated me to read more!

  • @idfrancisco5057
    @idfrancisco5057 Před 8 lety

    OMG Yes! I need tips for these. Whew! Freshman year in high school with all advance classes and an AP class is enough for me! I haven't read a book of my choice in more than 2 months! I read, but recently I have been reading the required books for one of my classes. Basically, classic books.

    @jenniferwatson1944 Před 8 lety

    thank you for this. i just started school and I don't have as much time as I did during the summer to read so this was very helpful. i agree with the comment about Rory Gilmore and her books. I have recently gotten into watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix and I love how she has a collection of books and enjoys reading. In one episode she takes a book in her purse when she goes out so I thought if Rory Gilmore can do it, I can do it.

  • @TheOpalLove
    @TheOpalLove Před 8 lety

    I've always seen articles that say it's bad to read before bed because it's hard to stop at the right time and your brain will be too simulated to settle down right away. Wish I could like you! I seem to only have time around then this year.

    Gilmore Girls is the best thing. I started rewatching it last spring but then I stopped at some point. Should start again, I love it so much.
    Have you ever though of doing the Rory Gilmore reading challenge? Aka reading every single book Rory reads during the show? :) I started that ages ago and I've probably finished the first two episodes of the show. Though of course the beginning has a lot of whoppers like War and Peace and Moby Dick. It's really fun though, I recommend it. :)

    I definitely sleep better when I read before I sleep too!

I graduated 2 years ago though and work from home now soooo I definitely read more now although Netflix is the problem now lol.

    That tip about picking up your book when not wanting to speak to anyone does not work for me. Whenever I'm reading anywhere in school my friends will specifically call my name a hundred times or do anything to bug me just to get me to stop reading. And they always happen to get me whenever the book gets interesting and I need to find out what happens and I just want to read for six days straight!

    These are great tips 💗💪 Get a big variety of things to read, try reading 20 pages of something every time you sigh about anything! That's what I do 😂😅 I see a pile of dirty dishes: *sigh* oops, gotta go read 20 pages now.

    You should do a video on how to read faster and actually know what you’ve read.. I see speed reading videos come up and I mean speed reading is cool but I actually wanna remember too

    I read on the bus to school and home from school and whenever my friends are out (I have a small group of friends 😂) at lunch
