  • Mini Life Update & 2020 Reading Goals // Chit-Chat
    Hello! I hope you enjoyed this chit-chat type of video where I just talk to you about my life and tell you some goals I have for 2020. I want to do more chit-chatty videos in the future (inspired by Conan Gray’s older videos) because I find them calming to watch, so if you have any specific topics that you want me to talk about or specific activities you want me to do while I chit-chat, please let me know!
    If you enjoyed this type of content, be sure to like the video and share it with a friend! It helps me out a lot.
    XxOlivia

    I feel like if you’d named this video “Why I Quit Book Riot” it could have been the booktube equivalent of “Why I Left Buzzfeed” hahaha 💕

    I totally get what you mean about YA. I wish new adult was a bigger genre because I love reading about characters in college/early 20’s

      SAY IT LOUDER !!! I wish New Adult was taken more seriously by publishers rather than having authors force their characters to be teens when they most certainly dont speak or act like teens (six of crows)

    I love that you want to do more chit chat videos 😍 as for more ideas I rrly loved that Q&A video you did with decorating your chair idk what you call it, but you can do that or something similar as you talk about dream places you'd live to vacation/visit, first movie you can recall really loving, where you see yourself after college and such. And for more bookish talks ig you can talk about specific things you love in books or even don't like, books you think you highly recommend and which you'd recommend the most, etc. 😊

    I really enjoyed watching this chatty bookish/life video! My goal for 2020 is to read the books that I’ve been wanting to read for a long time instead of focusing on all the current releases that everyone else is reading now. There are some 2020 releases that I want to read, but I don’t want to pressure myself to read all of them just because they’re popular right now :)

  • @aliciacroft
    @aliciacroft Před 4 lety +2

    I've had the same last year - I focused too much on the numbers (200 books), but lost out on quality. I want books that will affect me, change me and make me a better person.
    The lesser quality YA is just like blockbuster feel-good, but ultimatly a little empty - I still want to read YA fantasy because I think the best YA bridges all ages and has enough depth to be universal.
    I think I also listen too much to recommendations from others rather than listening for that inner response - that inner 'lighting up' when you know you really want to read a book, and it will just fit with you
    I'm moving towards more contemporary and adult fiction - and reading the classics ive missed that I have genuine interest in reading. Great vid

    Like this sort of chill video. Love the quantity over quality goal. I went through all my unread books a couple days ago to see how many I had that I still wanted to read and so for me it's a mix of wanting to def lower the number and also read some of these books that while they've been on my shelf for a while I think I'd still enjoy them.

    For 2020, my goals are to get over my fear of talking to other people, the only people that I verbally talk to is my parents and my half sister, and my reading, my goal is to read more fantasy and in a way I also want to read longer books, like over 400 - 500 pages, because I want to challange myself in a way by reading longer books.

    • @StoriesForCoffee

      @@StoriesForCoffee thanks, and the thing that I have of my fear of talking to other people, is called selective Mustum, and I have been dealing with this since the age of 5, which was in the year 2009, and after I started kindergarten, just became super shy and anxious from time to time. And with me reading, it helps me because I get go escape from the world that I am in and travel to place that I am reading in, and read books that the characters could be dealing with a similar as me. Thats one reason why I love contemporary books.

    And as for the question, like you, I wanted to read quality books rather than the quantity. Also I wanted to read more diverse, fantasy books cause for the couple of years, I've only been reading more contemporaries or pure romance novel which I am beginning to outgrown to. Lol if that's even possible. So yeah! That's just it. 😊

    That's what I do while I am reading I write a summary of the book when it's in a series so that when I want to read the next book in the series I know exactly what happened and all I have to do is read the summary instead of reading the whole book over.
