In like grade school I was obsessed with reading I read like a book a day and always hit my reading goals and it was my favorite thing but omg im in high school now and I’ve been in like a 2 year reading slump I try so hard to read but like I’ll be starting a book and having no motivation and would dnf the books, honestly I feel like school reading ruined my love for reading just being forced to read isnt fun for me and it makes it so hard to read but your CZcams channel has helped me to be invested in my books again 💗
something that helps me is watching booktubers because when i see someone get excited about a certain book it makes me more interested to read it, which is how i found most of my fave books also i started reading six of crows because of you :)
the best advice I received to read more was from Sunny when she said in a q&a video: “people really need to stop lying to themselves about the books they wanna read”. And as simple as that it changed the way I approach books and reading now. My family and some of my friends read but we don’t have the same taste, so sometimes I feel pressured to read more non-fiction or contemporary or less fantasy because I won’t have so many people to talk about it. And tbh this pressure just comes from my own self. I start overthinking about what I think that other people expect from me when literally no one cares. And if they don’t care, why should I? The only way I’ve found to avoid reading slumps is to read what you are excited to read. Yes, that romance book which you won’t look intellectual reading, yes that ya fantasy book. When you read what you think others expect from you, then it is not a hobby anymore, it’s a chore and that’s why we procrastinate and not do it. It’s not fun. I wanna make my reading experience fun. You’ll find interest in new genres and books as you keep reading what you like, there is no pressure to change your reading taste. Read the book that you feel attracted to, instead of the book that everyone has recommended to you :)
About the pinterest thing, yES. like, it makes the reading experience so much more fun. It helps me to visualise things. I organize my Pinterest boards based on the ✨ vibes ✨ i get from certain books and when i look back on then, it just hits me with the same feelings which i felt while i was reading this. As a person who gets distracted while re-reading, this helps me to go back to books I've already read and love. I can go on an on about this but I'll stop.
Just finished crooked kingdom yesterday (at like 3am, couldn’t stop xD), now literally logged onto CZcams to go watch you crooked kingdom videos and saw this new one 😻
12:44 I love how you encourage us to create a channel or whatever we want, I actually did create a separate account and only close friends know about this channel because I am kinda scared of some people finding it. But thank you because from time to time I love to hear someone telling me to go with it and not to feel ashamed or anything💕✨
Girl ur annotating is so nice! Literally all I do is highlight with a basic yellow highlighter and write Taylor Swift lyrics that remind me of the line in the margins lol.
Sunny!! I made a book pinterest board right after watching this video and when i tell you i am OBSESSED! It just lets your brain relive the emotions. I wanna reread those books and annotate them now. Im doing this for every 5 star book I read.
we don't deserve all this content SUNNY😭but seriously though I came across your content randomly on yt and seeing you talk about books and fictional characters reminded me how much I used to love books and do the eXACT same thing🤧 literally got me out of the biggest reading slump bc I was so stuck in the mindset that I should be reading more academic books during uni that I just didn't read because they weren't enjoyable for me without your channel i would have forgotten how much I actually love reading and I'm glad someone shares my love of cold and brooding fictional men and overused tropes that still get me in the feels every time🥲
such a fun video..honestly sometimes when reading is all you do for fun it gets boring...making playlists and journal kind of makes it more enjoyable..i would love to see your journalling process and how you annotate
The changing characters appearances 💀 I felt that so hard me and my best friend literally went through Pinterest talking about characters and how we imagined them ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pinterest is the best thing ever.💓 I love scrolling at every moment, however, when you have finished a book and you need to see more fanarts or just more content about that book, Pinterest is so much magic to me🪄 Also! I love the idea of an annotation video! I love annotating in paper, but my digital annotations are boring 😥 Your annotations are so gourgeous🌟🍮🌃
Hi sunny thank you for the video I never really read much it's mostly been assigned books in school and I could never get into it but I'm in college now and I'm trying to learn to enjoy reading and find something that like to read and this channel has been a big help thank you
YES to making a video about annotating on your ipad!! I read books on mine as well sometimes but I still haven’t found a way to annotate them properly so I’d appreciate an example✨
Love your videos, Sunny! When I'm utterly obsessed with a book or series I'll almost always form a chaotic playlist to listen to when I'm not reading the book or if I'm waiting to get my hands on the next one so that it's still present in my life. I'd love to see your playlists, but I don't use Apple Music. It would be the best if you made a video going through the songs on some of the (namely Will Herondale's) Looking forward to the next upload!
I’ve always read nonfiction books but when you mentioned the mood boards for different characters it interested me immediately! This will also be a fun relaxing hobby 🎉thank you ! I look forward to reading fiction books now.
wait I literally thought something was wrong with me bc I can’t not flip ahead and spoil parts of books. I feel like it gives me something to look forward to and helps me read faster lol
I hate hate HATE spoilers 😂 Like really… I need to discover things by myself, it doesn’t matter if I will like it or not, I just love the feeling of discovering something, the emotions you know. And I hardly DNF books/ shows/ series… I try to now cuz it’s a waste of time but I guess it’s part of my personality ? Not wanting to quit things, wanting to go all the way.. Ah and I do not highlight or write in my books, just can’t do that tho, if there’s something I wanna write and put inside I just use sticky notes ! I want to keep my books beautiful as day one 🥲 But I write some quotes i really like on my personal diary.
Ilysm, ur videos motivate me to read all the time!! Also, let's talk abt the back to back uploads?♥️♥️ I smile so much when I see ur notifications, it's the best part of my day:))
subbed recently bc i just know i'm going to read and have a good time right after watching one of your vids ! when i saw the dnf books part i legit thought "omg dnf as in dream not found books? like heatwaves and helium? 😭" and u said dnf books as in did not finish and i was like, "oh 😭😭"
About the watching the movies first, I would like to know any of y'all thoughts about the Pride and Prejudice movie and the Traveler's Wife movie. I'm really bad at absorbing words yet but I'm really interested (〒﹏〒). It feels like it would much easier to imagine and understand where the story is going. Anyone have watch these movies yet? Let me know your thoughts 🥰
I despise watching the movie/tv show before I read the book for absolutely no reason. If I know that a book is turning into a movie I will buy the book like a week or so before and read it immediately...
I get the changing mild things in your head 😂 If I'm ever reading a book and the love interest calls the MC 'baby', I always erase that from my mind and just pretend they said the MC's real name because calling someone 'baby' just gives me second hand embarrassment 🙄😬 Also beards and long hair...EW 🤢
Sad to say...... this is no joke ! My wife reads for 8 hours at at time..........never leaves the sofa for hours ! No friends.....gets angry when she dont have time to read.......and thats angry all day ! Theres a real world out there.....go take a walk........ask yourself questions about what you see......why things are the way they are. Seen this too many times. People being out of touch with the real world........so sad !

The disclaimer in the start is so right and so important and so refreshing!! So pure 🥺❤️
