I just broke a 10 year reading strike about 2 weeks ago! I used to read all of the time when a teenager but then life happened and I haven't read since. Then I started watching your videos and I finally started reading again and i can't believe I didn't read books for so long. Currently reading court of mist and fury! Thank you for being an inspiration to all of us 💜
That's just my opinion, but I don't believe in forcefully getting out of reading slumps (or any slumps really). It's okay to not read for some time. I feel we sometimes get super caught up in our identities as readers, but it's a hobby like any other, and passion for hobbies can wax and wane. There are times when I finish books in days and times when the bookshelves get thick with dust, and that's fine.
when I was a kid, my parents made me go to bed at 9pm, but I was never tired so I would put a flashlight on my head (secured with a headband lmfao), and I would read physical books that way. I also had a gameboy color, so I would play it in the dark. 😭
This was such a lovely vlog! Always adore seeing glimpses of Belize and your life there! Sending love to you and your family from Korea on a perfectly rainy day
Song obsession hits hart, I make a playlist just with that one song to listen to it here on youtube on repeat without having to hit the play button again.
@@ashjen98 Maybe my comment was misleading, but that's what I ment. I make a playlist with 1 song and than put it on loop.💜 If you mean you can put a video on loop without putting it in a playlist and looping the playlist, I did not find that option yet. Is it for normal UA-cam or the paid version?
@WoodlandStrawberry you don't need to add it to a playlist it's an option for any video you watch, premium or not; you can do it for this video even; it's in the settings on any video
The loop option on a video is found by just right-clicking on the video itself. Maybe it's in the settings on some UIs, but for me it's a right click on what's playing. Also if you double right-click, you can find "picture in picture" mode, if that's supported by your browser.
@@daniellec4235 Thank you for the info.☺ I googled today how to loop a youtube videoa and got the same answer. Right klick on the video itself and than loop 🙂
OMG yes ! It's one of my favorites, I couldn't agree more with you. Have you read Mexican Gothic ? It's what I'm currently reading and it reminds me a lot of Rebecca. The plot is different and it seems to lean a tad more horror but it's also about a young lady stuck in a gloomy old manor with a bunch of weird people. Highly recommend :D.
I have Mexican Gothic on my kindle but haven't read it yet.. but yes I do think it's definitely my genre. I shall get on to it as soon as.. Thanks for recommending.. ❤❤
book rec that got me, a fellow aquarius who is an in*j (intj for me but infj for you), out of my reading slumpo was the house on the cerulean sea by tj klune! cozy but well written fantasy magical world with a lil cute gay romance aspect too! highly recommended!
honestly one big thing that helps my reading slumps are trying something COMPLETELY different. Like, i never read non-fiction but if I'm feelin in a slump I might try something self-help or history related
Totally random product question but where did you get your phone cases from? I think you have a black one and chrome one that are like liquid metal looking and they're gorgeous!!
2 books that really brought me out of a reading slump were A good girls guide to murder by Holly Jackson and The girl who fell beneath the sea by Axie Oh
Hello, i'm sorry i am LATE, hope you're feeling better (as much as you can, really), and very random, but i saw you listening to Raye and i freaked out, because she absolutely deserves all the love and support in the world and i am glad you found her!
Book that helped get out of reading slump was Once upon the broken heart. It has short chapters, whimsical vibes and I really love the main love interest Jacks. But I don´t know if it´s something you would read. Btw I also love the Raven cycle series.
The whispering dark by Kelly Andrew is great, fantastic vibes and the writing is STUNNING. I just started her new book and that one is also great so far. I think their both available on Everand as well :D

Soooo *someone's* sister is getting married 👀🙊
I'm soooo excited the shop is coming back! Thanks for the long video It's good to see you and lil Rocky doing alright♥
tbh I get out of reading slumps with terrible books. Like a very cringey vampire teen romance.

Reopening your shop!? Omg yes!!!!!

lifting rocky to give him a different perspective was really cute 🥺

There’s a loop video option too, I do it for reading and studying playlist videos ❤

An old style favourite that got me out of a slump.. Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier... the audio was really great. 👍
OMG yes ! It's one of my favorites, I couldn't agree more with you. Have you read Mexican Gothic ? It's what I'm currently reading and it reminds me a lot of Rebecca. The plot is different and it seems to lean a tad more horror but it's also about a young lady stuck in a gloomy old manor with a bunch of weird people. Highly recommend :D.

It's not fantasy but for me Yellowface by R. F. Kuang was a major reading slump breaker!
