Yes! it bothers me so much the way periods are just never mentioned in books. I get that they're not usually relevant to the plot, but when we have a female narrator/POV it's somewhat implausible that their period or related things never even come up in their thoughts.
Tamora Pierce actually mentions periods in her Protector of the Small series, as well as other things related to puberty. I actually really liked it, especially since I was around 12 when I first read her books. It was really relatable 😊
omg I was just thinking this!!! I read this book talking about how this girl and her bf had sex multiple times a week for like two month. I said but when did she get her period? oh
i have 6 copies of City of Bones I feel you, girl i started audiobooks in january and i'm obsessed i feel like i haven't read a contemporary in years LOL BATHROOMS we had so many of the same ones!! xx
I always have to carry a book around even though I don't read it, and I totally agree with you on characters in real life situations. Like seriously, farting involves one of them because everyone has to do it.
+Evelyn Granados (Divergentpll) and don't forget shaving and waxing too. Whenever I read a post-apocalyptic book I'm just like " how do the girls deal with their periods when there are hardly any resources for that given to them, or will they grow a mini mustache?" XD
My 25 bookish facts:1. I eat books like food--I read any book, and, so far, have only disliked two books. 2. I'm not a big fan of romance.3. I'll read some horror, but I won't watch it. 4. I get upset when my books or any other books I see are destroyed, or if their spine is....."broken"(quick story: one time, I noticed that at the school I used to go to, their Inkheart book had a messed up spine in which the cover was on the verge of falling off, so I fixed it up like a book doctor. Haha, get it? 'Cuz Mo.....) 5. I have more of a social awkwardness when I talk to people who don't read books. 6. It bothers me when, at school, kids complain about not wanting to read. 7. I used to doggy-ear the pages too, but now I find it to be frowned upon. 8. I bring my books everywhere I go as well! And sometimes I don't even end up reading the book. But, I feel naked without one. For me, it's like still carrying around a teddy bear. Today after school, I wasn't carrying my book, so I felt exposed. 9. I am very obsessed with fantasy. It's mostly all I read. 10. Anything with medieval politics catch my attention. I just find it so interesting. 11. Being someone who is unable to buy books like a lot of readers, the library is my best friend. 12. I love the smell of books. I'm aware it just smells like paper to me, but there's many other smells that's identifiable... I guess. 13. If I'm reading a chapter, I won't stop reading until that chapter is finished! An OCD thing of mine. 14. When I'm really into a book or almost finished with a chapter, I don't care if a bug is crawling up my leg. 15. I get pretty defensive about books. 16. When the words "books" and "burn" is in the same sentence, I unleash my rage. 17. I always try to read the book before watching the adaptation. 18. The two books I've reread the most are Black Beauty and Watership Down. 19. I still haven't read half of the books I own. 20. I like finding characters that I can relate to in a book. 21. I really like to fill my brain with information that I want to fill my brain with, such as things about the UK, history, etc. 22. I read anything. I guess it's a habit. I'll even read directions if it were put in front of my face. I'd read those Terms and Conditions Bilbo Baggins had to read. 23. I mainly read fiction. But, even when I read non-fiction, I feel lost in the book. 24. I read three books at the same time(it used to be two). 25. I sometimes jump from book to book--starting one and then never finishing it, leaving one or two aside for a while but not getting to it.... I'm a hot mess when it comes to books.
I completly agree! SPOILER! While I was reading the House of Hades and Annabeth was in Tartarus for a month, I was only able to think that she doesn't have period or if she does where she got tampons.
I always think fiction characters should have problems like going to the bathroom and periods. Same with movies. It just makes them seem more real and relatable(?). I judge books by their covers to!
+Gracily S And also, when people don't brush their teeth, ever. Or go to sleep without brushing their teeth and (usually in contemporary) without taking their makeup off (and still have flawless skin) COME ON PEOPLE.
+Gracily S Yes! When I'm reading from the POV of a female character I often find myself thinking things like "Wait, don't you need to stop and think if you need some tampons before you run off on that adventure without even bringing a bag?"
omg i love it when characters actually go to the bathroom during books, especially genres like fantasy because it just feels so much more relatable and realistic ! so glad i'm not the only one ! x
Mass market paper back books are like the Lidil of the book world haha XD Loved hearing these facts Sasha! I have faith in you to write your own book! I'm sure it will be fantastic
Ermagaaawd I feel the same!!! I have the same pet peeve! It really grinds my gears when the characters don't use the bathrooms or magically don't have to deal with periods! Throne of Glass was like the first book ever that mentioned periods! Thank you, Sasha. I thought I was the only one.
I tottaly understand your ''bathroom-fetish'' xD Have you ever wondered what the students at Hogwarts do if they have to pee at night? and where do they brush their teeth? Nowhere in the books is it mentioned that they have a toilet in their commonrooms or bedrooms!
Oh my gosh Sasha, the bathroom thing never even occurred to me. I cracked up when you said that. 😂😂 Definitely going to have to do one of these videos!!
If I see a book with a nice cover, I'll probably look into it. If it has an ugly or meh cover, I won't unless it was recommended to me or I've heard of it being really good.
yaaassss historical fiction and fantasy!!! and I'm totally with you on the whole mass market paperback thing, they're so flimsy!!! and I'm also a book-cover-judger and unashamed
I feel what you said about characters using the bathroom on a personal level. It drives me absolutely up a wall, especially when something is written to insinuate a character is trapped somewhere or doing some activity for hours and hours, or if a story is continuous without skipping over anything, because that's just so illogical. I'm stressed just writing this and thinking about it. Same with periods. I want an awesome heroine on an adventure grumbling about cramps!
I just rewatched this video today and I got so excited and sappy at 2:23 when you talked about wanting to write your own book someday! Congratulations! :)
I do the same thing with carrying a book everywhere I go. I also love audiobooks! I'm listening to Truthwitch right now. And I'm so with you-- going to the bathroom is just more realistic. Thanks for the vidoe, Sasha!
Oh my God, I see Captive Prince on your shelf behind you. -freaks out- Also the bathroom/showering thing... I don't think, in seven books, Harry is ever mentioned as having bathed except for in Goblet of Fire. Crazy stuff. I'd totally appreciate this more, too. Haha.
I totally agree about the bathroom thing. I loved in Throne of Glass when she mentioned Celaena getting her monthly cycle. It humanize so the characters so much more and makes them more relatable!
OMG yes! The bathroom thing is my # 1 pet peeve too! I loved how in the 5th wave Rick Yancey acknowledged Cassie's need for more tampons and such! I think that's the only time I remember there being an acknowledgement to human needs and such in a fantasy novel
Dear Sasha, I know that you probably get letters like this everyday but I still want to write you one. I love your videos so much. You have changed me. Back when I started watching your videos I was lost in the book world and lost all my motivation to read because I couldn't find any books to read. You were the first Booktuber I ever watched and I immediately became obsessed with your videos. Seeing you (kind of) growing older on UA-cam made my grow older too. When I watch your old videos I see a teenage girl who loves books. When I watch your new videos I see the same girl, but more mature and even more beautiful than before. Back in 2014 when I started watching your videos, I was super awkward, insecure and just shy. Your videos have helped me to accept myself (I know that it sounds crazy.) Your confidence, your friendliness everything just inspired me and helped me grow into the person I am now. I am still 15 (almost 16!) and I know that I'll continue to grow, but you already(...)
Thank you.. thank you... thank you! Someone finally said it about characters using the bathroom! I'm currently writing an epic fantasy and I made a point of how awkward it was for a runaway princess to even attempt going to the toilet while on the run... it involved several falls and a compromising position when her guard finally showed up! I love your channel and your inspiring to keep reading and writing... and generally surviving further education! Thank you!
I swear everytime you make a video my eyes just drift towards the Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series cause it just looks so pretttyyyyy!!!!
You are not alone. I love seeing benign, human things in books (bathroom, shower, period, brushing teeth, acne....). It makes characters more relatable to me, so authors should be required to have at least one of them.
I get really excited when a character gets their period- I don't know why, but it is something that makes them more real to me. ALSO, Emerson College's major of Writing, Literature, and Publishing is by far my dream major, Emerson is my top school of right now and I'm really freaking out about getting in because you seem like you're having a lot of fun and I know a boy who started as a freshmen second semester and he seems to be loving it too but yeah
YES! Periods in books. Most books never actually mention that the period is a thing that happens every single month to women. It's actually a pretty huge thing in girls' lives but it's completely ignored. Also, illnesses other than terminal illnesses? Colds etc.
I have a lot in common with you. And I am in the middle of writing a book that I am making into several other books and I am currently going to school for a BA in Creative Writing. I hope you do write a book one day. Being published is on my bucket list!
I was literally just talking about the bathroom thing with my parents and they looked at me like I was crazy. Which is actually anytime I talk about books, lets be real
OMG Yesss! I really enjoy it when characters go to the bathroom or do normal stuff like that, it makes them so much more relatable. I also judge books by its covers and try to buy the edition with the beautiful cover (sorry not sorry). I often buy a second copy of a book because i forget i already own it, or so that it will match the others in the series. Lastly, some of the first books I ever bought are crumpled and ugly (because they were printed with recycled paper) so ill most likely just buy them again
YES OMG i really do think discussing the monthly pains we endure, in books makes the situation more realistic, esp when it's a female protagonist. And hopefully one day i would write about it in my own book.
I'm the same with hardbacks, love how they look but theyre so awkward to read so i usually get the paperback. thats awesome that your studying literature and publishing!!
Haha I love you! And I understand your pet peeve and I want authors to start writing about bodily functions. Like it does not make any sense that a character does not have these thoughts running through their heads! Also, WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON! yay :) We seem to like a lot of similar books and have the same thoughts on reading and books. I also want to write my own book someday but I have gotten really out of writing lately! Also why do you love Outlander so much? I am thinking about reading it.
Omg I doggy ears too and have to bring a book wherever I go I just feel naked without it lol. And the smell thing- I can feel you judging rn- i can usually tell a little if I'll like it. Another bookish thing of me is buying or borrowing more books than I can read at a time yikes ik! But love your videos!!
I really like your videos I immediately watch one every time you post I new one. They are really fun to watch and your book recommendations are really awesome! ☺
sasha! this is totally unrelated, but can you make a video about your major in college? it sounds interesting & i wanna know what it's like from a student's pov :)
I love Diana Gabaldon so much I would read the paperbacks until they fell apart. I went through at least three copies of Outlander and two copies of Dragonfly in Amber before I went hardcover. I am so glad to have found someone who loves it as much as I do. I obsessively carry books around too and my Kindle...just case because you never know. I have a lot more patience being in a line or getting somewhere early because I got a book or two.
I really want you to do a haul on books you want to read in the historical fiction genre or review on your favorite historical fiction books!!!! Please and thank you!!!!!
lol "Bye Felicia." So funny how I just did this tag and mentioned you as one of my facts. I can't remember what number fact it was, but you were the first booktuber I watched and the reason I started my channel. :)
I either read four pages or like 200 pages at a time and there is no in between
Literally me
same
"I want to write my own book."
Z E N I T H !
I hate book covers that have a real life human being on it. Why can't people appreciate drawn covers?! They look so much better!
IKR!
AGREED
ME TOO!! The only ones I have liked are the to all the boys I've ever loved sequel
+LOtaku YES! I also hate it when they replace the original cover with the movie/show cover. *cough* Game of Thrones *cough*
+Javier Chacon OMG I HATE THAT

+lucy rowan m I always wondered that in Hunger Games! It bugged me so much
Throne of glass mentions it and there are hilariously awkward scenes between the female character and male characters!
omg I was just thinking this!!! I read this book talking about how this girl and her bf had sex multiple times a week for like two month. I said but when did she get her period? oh
i have 6 copies of City of Bones I feel you, girl
i started audiobooks in january and i'm obsessed
i feel like i haven't read a contemporary in years
LOL BATHROOMS
we had so many of the same ones!! xx
Emma! You should do this video.
I always have to carry a book around even though I don't read it, and I totally agree with you on characters in real life situations. Like seriously, farting involves one of them because everyone has to do it.
+Evelyn Granados (Divergentpll) Its like a comfort blanket!

yeaah me too, and I read almost everytime when I'm going somewhere :D
I hate going to bookstores with people because I always feel so rushed by the way they're just staring at me
I really hate it when the author's name is bigger than the name of the book IS IT JUST ME
+Ammarah Ahmed I hate it too, is very distracting.

One thing I loved about Throne of Glass (book one) was that the girl HAD HER PERIOD. Realism for once!
Old book smell is my absolute favourite!
bonding exercises. DOES THAT COUNT AS CARDIO
THE FACT THAT U SAID WE WERE UR FRIENDS MADE ME SO FREAKING HAPPY GOSH
YOU ARE MY FRIENDS!!!
I like the way hardcovers look, but I love the way paperbacks cost.
When I buy a book I check the same 20 books and see which one is the best without folds and other things.
loll samee
Alyssa Godina this is literally me 😂
Zenith is gonna be in bookstores this month girl!!!! ❤️
YES to realistic characters who need to use the bathroom and have periods and everything else human!!!
I completly agree! SPOILER! While I was reading the House of Hades and Annabeth was in Tartarus for a month, I was only able to think that she doesn't have period or if she does where she got tampons.
I love how hardbacks feel, but I love how much paperbacks cost more.
hahaha, here its the other way round with the prices
Where's that?
I always think fiction characters should have problems like going to the bathroom and periods. Same with movies. It just makes them seem more real and relatable(?). I judge books by their covers to!
Same! In the 5th wave tho (movie and book) the main character has to look for tamponsXD
+Gracily S And also, when people don't brush their teeth, ever. Or go to sleep without brushing their teeth and (usually in contemporary) without taking their makeup off (and still have flawless skin) COME ON PEOPLE.

lucy rowan m OMG Yes!
I TOTALLY agree with your bathroom thing, like come on people, just because they're fiction does not mean they aren't human
I cant stand it when they put the characters "film version" on the cover.
me toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
YAAS on the paperbacks!! i find it annoying reading hardcover, but they look nicer on my shelf!
omg i love it when characters actually go to the bathroom during books, especially genres like fantasy because it just feels so much more relatable and realistic ! so glad i'm not the only one ! x
Mass market paper back books are like the Lidil of the book world haha XD
Loved hearing these facts Sasha! I have faith in you to write your own book! I'm sure it will be fantastic

My favorite thing about you is that you make me soo excited for reading more books 🖤🖤
I tottaly understand your ''bathroom-fetish'' xD
Have you ever wondered what the students at Hogwarts do if they have to pee at night? and where do they brush their teeth? Nowhere in the books is it mentioned that they have a toilet in their commonrooms or bedrooms!
III KNOW! I've wondered that for ever!
Oh my gosh Sasha, the bathroom thing never even occurred to me. I cracked up when you said that. 😂😂 Definitely going to have to do one of these videos!!
Celaena talks about her having her periode in throne of glass and she takes aedion to pee when he was injured in queen of shadows .
+Kenza Nassiri I laughed so much when she started singing really loud so aedion could pee
If I see a book with a nice cover, I'll probably look into it. If it has an ugly or meh cover, I won't unless it was recommended to me or I've heard of it being really good.
You're not the only one Sasha!!! I'm with you girl ahah It really does make them seem more human!
I seriously judge a book by it's cover and I am not ashamed one bit. Pretty covers are everything.
yaaassss historical fiction and fantasy!!! and I'm totally with you on the whole mass market paperback thing, they're so flimsy!!!
and I'm also a book-cover-judger and unashamed
I totally agree with the bathroom thing!
I totally understand the bathroom thing! Like I love when the author includes stuff like that.
Totally agree about the bathroom/period/acne thing! Great video Sasha!
I feel what you said about characters using the bathroom on a personal level. It drives me absolutely up a wall, especially when something is written to insinuate a character is trapped somewhere or doing some activity for hours and hours, or if a story is continuous without skipping over anything, because that's just so illogical. I'm stressed just writing this and thinking about it. Same with periods. I want an awesome heroine on an adventure grumbling about cramps!
0 dislikes, that's how amazing Sasha is 💘
Literally the same! I love how hard cover books look but I love how paperback books feel.
I stared at your beautiful new paperback editions of the shadowhunters series throughout the whole video😍
I just rewatched this video today and I got so excited and sappy at 2:23 when you talked about wanting to write your own book someday! Congratulations! :)
OMG! I'm totally with you in the bathroom thing, Sasha! I tought I was the only one who noticed that type of things :)
I do the same thing with carrying a book everywhere I go. I also love audiobooks! I'm listening to Truthwitch right now. And I'm so with you-- going to the bathroom is just more realistic. Thanks for the vidoe, Sasha!
Oh my God, I see Captive Prince on your shelf behind you. -freaks out-
Also the bathroom/showering thing... I don't think, in seven books, Harry is ever mentioned as having bathed except for in Goblet of Fire. Crazy stuff. I'd totally appreciate this more, too. Haha.
Such a good point about characters going to the bathroom hahaha I've never thought about that but now I probably always will, thanks Sasha lol lol
I totally agree about the bathroom thing. I loved in Throne of Glass when she mentioned Celaena getting her monthly cycle. It humanize so the characters so much more and makes them more relatable!
OMG yes! The bathroom thing is my # 1 pet peeve too! I loved how in the 5th wave Rick Yancey acknowledged Cassie's need for more tampons and such! I think that's the only time I remember there being an acknowledgement to human needs and such in a fantasy novel
I totally agree! The reason why I love Princess diaries is coz everything about it is so real! Love the details and awkwardness of the series!
Dear Sasha,
I know that you probably get letters like this everyday but I still want to write you one. I love your videos so much. You have changed me.

Thank you.. thank you... thank you! Someone finally said it about characters using the bathroom!

I love your channel and your inspiring to keep reading and writing... and generally surviving further education! Thank you!
HAPPY UA-cam ANNIVERSARY SASHA!!! Thank you for everything you're done for me ❤️❤️❤️
I completely agree with the bathroom one!! Never heard of anybody else mention that before. Thought it was only in my head lol
I swear everytime you make a video my eyes just drift towards the Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series cause it just looks so pretttyyyyy!!!!
You are so fierce and hilarious! I am so glad I found your channel! And I completely agree about characters using the restroom! 😆
Omg this tag made me love you more. That toilet peeve is something I totally relate. You are awesome Sasha ❤
OMG!! you do the book cover thing, me tooo!! I always felt bad about that, but now I know that I'm not the only one!! =)
I totally agree on the bathroom thing! So glad I'm not the only one!
Clary and Jace with you and Kal!! Can't WAITTT xx
I LOVE YOU SASHA AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U ON WHAT UR FAVORITE GENRE IS
You are not alone. I love seeing benign, human things in books (bathroom, shower, period, brushing teeth, acne....). It makes characters more relatable to me, so authors should be required to have at least one of them.
OMG watching this two weeks before ZENITH comes out is so great, glad your dream of writing a book is coming true!
I get really excited when a character gets their period- I don't know why, but it is something that makes them more real to me. ALSO, Emerson College's major of Writing, Literature, and Publishing is by far my dream major, Emerson is my top school of right now and I'm really freaking out about getting in because you seem like you're having a lot of fun and I know a boy who started as a freshmen second semester and he seems to be loving it too but yeah
And now ur book is coming out !!!! Congrats im so excited for it !!
Uhh, I can see Captive Prince on your bookshelf :) I just orderd the first book and I'm so exited to read it!
I love how much you upload even though you are in college ☺ really love your videos, they are goals 😂
well you achieved your dream pretty quickly!! Congrats on Zenith!!
I am reading Outlander because of you... You inspire me to reading more books. :)
Yes! my gosh, I thought I was the only who thought that about the bathroom thing. Thank you, Sasha. lol
YES! Periods in books. Most books never actually mention that the period is a thing that happens every single month to women. It's actually a pretty huge thing in girls' lives but it's completely ignored. Also, illnesses other than terminal illnesses? Colds etc.
Highly agree on the writing a book thing!!! I have written more than 2 books now that are huge but never published anything
the last contemporary that I read was Since You've Been Gone, I liked it, but I like books with more action in them
I never thought about the bathroom one before but now that you say it I agree
I have a lot in common with you. And I am in the middle of writing a book that I am making into several other books and I am currently going to school for a BA in Creative Writing. I hope you do write a book one day. Being published is on my bucket list!
My biggest question in Harry potter is
*when do they take showers*
Congrats! You reached that goal of being a published author! Zenith is on my Tbr 😁😁😁
I was literally just talking about the bathroom thing with my parents and they looked at me like I was crazy. Which is actually anytime I talk about books, lets be real
I write mundane things like going to the bathroom ,sleeping ,reading,in my stories.
OMG Yesss! I really enjoy it when characters go to the bathroom or do normal stuff like that, it makes them so much more relatable. I also judge books by its covers and try to buy the edition with the beautiful cover (sorry not sorry). I often buy a second copy of a book because i forget i already own it, or so that it will match the others in the series. Lastly, some of the first books I ever bought are crumpled and ugly (because they were printed with recycled paper) so ill most likely just buy them again
I pretty much have all the same once... Expect I'm not planning on writing a book.
Hope you get it published on day. I'll pick it up for sure! :)
YES OMG i really do think discussing the monthly pains we endure, in books makes the situation more realistic, esp when it's a female protagonist. And hopefully one day i would write about it in my own book.
I'm the same with hardbacks, love how they look but theyre so awkward to read so i usually get the paperback. thats awesome that your studying literature and publishing!!
Haha I love you! And I understand your pet peeve and I want authors to start writing about bodily functions. Like it does not make any sense that a character does not have these thoughts running through their heads!

I also want to write my own book someday but I have gotten really out of writing lately! Also why do you love Outlander so much? I am thinking about reading it.
Yep the bathroom one especially on tv in soaps like they surely have to pee right!!
I feel the same way about hard covers and paperbacks! Hardcovers are gorgeous, but paperbacks feel amazing!
I agree with you about the book smell!!! I just can't smell the "wonderful" scent that everyone talks about.
I haven't had much time to sit down and read a book lately so audiobooks are super great! :)
Omg I doggy ears too and have to bring a book wherever I go I just feel naked without it lol. And the smell thing- I can feel you judging rn- i can usually tell a little if I'll like it. Another bookish thing of me is buying or borrowing more books than I can read at a time yikes ik! But love your videos!!
I am obsessed with audiobooks as well. Can't stop won't stop.
Your videos are amazing sasha....and btw I read Zenith and I LOVE IT!!!!....the theme is really amazing....loved it
Today I went to my school's Sports' Day and I kind of brought Where She Went along. I feel you Sasha ;)
I really like your videos I immediately watch one every time you post I new one. They are really fun to watch and your book recommendations are really awesome! ☺
I love all the stuff that's behind you and you're shirt is really cute! Great video!
Totally agree with you on the bathroom thing lol!
sasha! this is totally unrelated, but can you make a video about your major in college? it sounds interesting & i wanna know what it's like from a student's pov :)
I love Diana Gabaldon so much I would read the paperbacks until they fell apart. I went through at least three copies of Outlander and two copies of Dragonfly in Amber before I went hardcover. I am so glad to have found someone who loves it as much as I do. I obsessively carry books around too and my Kindle...just case because you never know. I have a lot more patience being in a line or getting somewhere early because I got a book or two.
You're so pretty and your profile picture in gorgeous:)

lol "Bye Felicia." So funny how I just did this tag and mentioned you as one of my facts. I can't remember what number fact it was, but you were the first booktuber I watched and the reason I started my channel. :)
