My 2 reading goals for this year is firstly to not follow trends and just read what I want. I usually feel pressure to read what everyone is loving and I just don’t enjoy them all the time. My second goal is to just enjoy what I’m reading instead of racing through to reach a reading goal. I haven’t set a reading goal this year so I can just slow down and enjoy my books. Good luck on your goals!! 2️⃣💕
Best of luck with your goals! ♥️2️⃣2️⃣
I think you underestimate your analytic capabilities! Not everyone finds fun in deeply analyzing books while they read, and that's okay. 2🐫(That is the emoji that popped up when I searched "two.")
Aww thanks 💖 and that’s a good emoji
Your cousin got The Stranger from her philosophy professor, not psychology. But it is very, very good. Good selection, baby! Nice and varied. My top three are any Kurt Vonnegut books. Skull emoji skull emoji skull emoji.
I absolutely love The Lord of the Rings! Maybe watching the movies after reading the books would help? I completely agree that the books can be a bit challenging to get through, but in my opinion, they are totally worth it. 😊 I also loved The Stranger! It’s such a unique and "quirky" book, but it’s incredibly rich. The first page is truly iconic. This year, I read East of Eden-my first Steinbeck book-and although I found it a bit slow at times, I ended up loving it! I’m definitely planning to read more of his works, and I might even try them in English next time.
I’ve seen the first LotR movie multiple times, so I didn’t watch it after reading it this time. I might watch it before I read The Two Towers! Thanks for that tip!! I enjoyed the first book; I think I gave it 4 stars, just because of all the slow parts.
I have the worst memory with books but somehow remember a ton of what happened with Of Mice and Men when I read it in high school, go figure 😂 I hope 2025 is kind to you, Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you! I never read it, but a teacher kinda told us the ending while discussing it with a student. It was completely off topic, so I was a little upset that he just gave away the ending when it wasn’t even a book we were reading!
@@homestylereads I HATE when people do that. No matter how old a source of material is, it should never be spoiled and I'll always stand by that
🐈⬛ I want to finish the Jurassic Park sequel, but December is crazy busy for me! We will see if I ever get some downtime to finish it because it’s so interesting so far! 💜
Hopefully you get to finish it!
🐈🐈⬛ I am not reading anything in December because I have spent too much time reading instead of playing games. I love your festiveness!
@@LPMaster6 Yes! Play your games! And thank you ❤️
Yay another video from you 🥹💙Gossip Girl is such a blast from the past. I only read maybe one or two of the books as a teen but I LOVED the show 😺
Yeah it’s been a while since I’ve uploaded! I never read or watched it as a teen, sadly. I was more of a Degrassi girlie hahaha
@@homestylereads I loved Degrassi too 💙Honestly such a good show looking back on it
Love your rules! Great first few months, keep going 🎉
Thanks!!
What’s the controversy of Crawdads? I must have missed it haha, loved the book when I read it a few years ago.
It had something to do with the author, but I can't remember off the top of my head.
It had something to do with her work in another country but she wasn’t suspected of any wrong doing supposedly. I googled it lol
Omg yayy officially joining project zero!!! Love it ☕️
☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕ Good luck!
Looks like a great tbr!! I looove the House in the Cerulean Sea, hope you enjoy it :D I'm reading Circe for the first time this month too for one of my irl booklcubs!
🚰You are so beautiful! I am rather interested in that baseball book, even though I don't care for baseball.
Thank you! I’ll gladly let you read my copy ❤️
Cat + Gamer is super quick and cute read. I hope you enjoy your books and have a fun vacation, happy reading!🌊
Thanks! I loved the first 2 volumes, so I hope the rest are just as good.
How fun! I’ll subscribe 🎉I make videos too
Ooh fun! I'll check out your videos!
I love Spiderwick Chronicles 🎉
The movie was definitely a repeat watch when I was a kid, especially when I was home sick from school.
Oh man I completely forgot about the Bridge to Terabithia movie, I watched it as a kid and didn’t even know there was a book. Safe to say, I probably won’t be reading it 😂
Of course, everyone has different tastes, so you can try it! But it’s not my thing. It wasn’t anything like the movie. Such a let down 😔
I recommend The Timekeeper's Secret by iLana Markarov BEST BOOK I have read All year
I just looked it up, and it does look good! I may have to check it out!
@@homestylereads Read it ASAP, it will be the greatest dystopia mystery series you have ever read! I need more books like this, it was life changing ❤️
Hide is such a difficult one!! I didnt love how depressing it was throughout the book. But i loved the premise and the ending was great!! I read the graphic novel for it though and liked it much more. It cut out a lot of the background stories and focuses more on the actual contest and it was great!
I still need to check out the graphic novel. I should request it from my library.
@@homestylereads yess I think you'll like it!
I will answer every single question. 1. The Amplified Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana by Michael Azerrad and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind 2. the announcement of Shrek 5 3. most books by Kurt Vonnegut, as well as How to Be Perfect by Mike Schur 4. Shrek 5 5. Paper Mario: The Origami King 6. the announcement of Shrek 5 7. the person who runs DreamWorks' social media 8. a stinkbug who eats lasagna 9. my wife's announcement to me of the announcement of Shrek 5 10. the announcement of Shrek 5 11. N/A 12. Shrek 13. Welcome to Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut
Thank you. Shrek 5 is very exciting, sweetie!
Totally agreed with loving collections of things people enjoy. It reminds me of collages (I used to love making them) and also Pinterest when that started, fun times 🥰🍓🍓
I love making collages, but I do them digitally now. I made one for my art class in college once, and the professor really liked it!
I enjoyed the variety in this video and would enjoy more! My favorite part of April was getting in the ocean for the first time. 🍓
I'm so happy you liked the ocean!!
You dropped that 13 cats reveal so casually lmfao. Iconic.
I’m so used to answering “13” to the classic “how many cats do you have?” that is doesn’t even phase me anymore hahaha
I want to read black coffee! Great title! 🖤
It seems pretty interesting! ☕️
💀☠👲☠🦴🍖
Hi gud morning how are you
🎼🎵🎶🎹
Yay to backlist books!! 🎤🎶
Oh happy reading in February, what a good lineup 🎡
🎡 I love you!
I love you, too!!
I hope we both love Night Circus!! So excited to finally read it. I wish I liked HIDE more 😭 I'm doing the graphic novel though for the readathon 😂
Yeah I’ve only heard negative things about Hide, but I have heard better things about the graphic novel.
I did the first hitchhikers last year for Galaxyathon! Im gonna do a couple more for this years!
I really hope you get to the triple digits this year with your subs 🤞♥️that would be so cool to see. Wishing you the best with your goals in 2024 😊✔️✔️
Aww thank you!
✅ My goal is to be married to the most beautiful woman alive, and I already accomplished that!
We are too human now to zombify. Thy morning bedhead like tiaras glint, but servitude allows a comfy Life. When work has ended, night too quick begins. John Waterhouse’s women weren’t cashiers. They in their paintings lived and thought and breathed; Cleopatra pouts as mermaids wring their hair- -you do this at a register at least. Too much romance within thy soul exits to scout for flowers in a shopping mall. Who knew the rose was better when handpicked? with hair empowered out in cursive sprawls. May Bezos like Emperor Nero sulk when human beings refuse to slave themselves
Thanks for the poem!
❄ I love the part with Christmas.
Thank you!
Your December TBR looks so cute!! I hope December goes well for you, happy reading!
Aww thank you! I’m very excited for these books
This is such a fun video idea! Subscribed and can’t wait to watch more of your content💓
Aww thank you!
Good job, baby! I love you so much, and I'm proud of you!
For making videos, I mean, but also for reading for three hours, I guess!
I’ve seen this done before, I kinda wanna try it but knowing me I’d forget the timer was counting down and have no clue how long I’ve read for 😂 still willing to give it a shot
I’d love to watch it if you did a video!
The boo basket how adorable 🥹♥️
So nice to see a video from you! And I always say that a man who loves animals wins my heart every time. It shows that they’re compassionate and warm hearted 🥰 definitely a deal breaker for me if someone dislikes animals 💀💀
Thank you! Exactly..people not liking animals is definitely a dealbreaker
Love how there is an ugly books section lol 😆
Haha thank you! People always own a couple ugly books
Thanks for coming to see us!
Omg a video from you!! Ah love! I’ve been vegetarian for over a decade now, I eat vegan when I can but I have so much respect for vegans ❤🌱 (just had my veggie burger while watching haha) Hopefully you’ll like Cassandra Clare and I hope you had a wonderful birthday! 🥰
I did have a wonderful birthday! Thank you for watching! I’ve been vegan for 8 years, and it’s amazing. It’s a lot easier than when I started because there are sooo many more options for yummy food. Even just 8 years ago, there was almost nothing, and if it was vegan, it usually tasted subpar.
@@homestylereads Yes! It was so limited. The amount of things now are amazing and they taste so good 🥰
This interests me because I have done some reading, and I have also done some coffee shop frequenting. However, this is the first time which I have experienced these activities concurrently.
You’ve seen me read in coffee shops before!

Pink is a good color. You should do one with all your books with even-numbered page counts.
That would take a lot of time to search through every book I own and look at the last page.
