i have a total of 95 books that i own. if i finish, “harry potter and the deathly hallows” i will have read 40 books this year. that’s the most i’ve ever read. but because book #5 (order of the phoenix) was so long (870 pages), i’ve kinda hit a reading slump. i’ll be happy to finish the series and save the rest of my physical books for next year. i’m on a book buying ban unless someone gifts me books for christmas. i want to finish what i own and only keep books that i see myself re-reading in the future.
For what it's worth, the videos that are the most fun for me are when people are enjoying themselves, no matter what they're reading. So I'm very supportive of not worrying about TBRs and just doing whatever you want! As for me, I'm just hoping to finish some series by the end of the year. I own so many sequels to books I liked that I haven't read yet.
Any day Olivia posts is an amazing day for me! I use it as my me tome to sit and listen. I'm sure I'll add more as I'm watching this video but!! ❤thank you for the post today! I hope you have an amazing holiday with your partner and babies
Thank you! It's the first year we are doing just me my partner and kids. No stressing about going to family members homes and who will be there.. I'm excited
This is so crazy because earlier today I saw another end of year book tag and I literally went to your specific channel bc I wanted to see if you had posted one bc I wanted to see your goals and answers omg what a coincidence
Really love those 2024 reading goals! The pipe dream of reading all the books I own is so real buy why does it feel so unattainable even when you only have a few books on the physical TBR lol
I really want to finish the Ember in the Ashes Quartet before the end of the year. Next year, I want to set a page count goal which I haven't done before. I have a good amount of chunky books on my shelf so I think that would be cool to track.
Anyone have a goal of just read more and/or find more time to read? Finding time is hard these days 😥. Olivia I personally love all your videos that you release. Your vlogs, tbr jars, anything. They always make me happy. 😊 I am still listening to Daisy Darker on audiobook. What is everyone reading this week?
My plan for next year is to do a hard book buying ban (except for BOTM because I can’t help myself and I really like it) but other than that, I want to not buy as many and just read the ones that I own. I also have the same goal as you which is not to focus on a TBR as much and just mood read what I want.
I love borrowing books from the library! I tend to find books i never expect to fully love there. I am currently trying to make my way through the books i own though
The books I would like to finish by the end of the year are Keeper of the Lost Cities, The Rise of Kyoshi, Clockwork Princess, Throne of Glass, and The Final Empire. Plans for next year is finishing ACOTAR series and figuring out my 24 books to read in 2024 and figuring out when to read what books.
Love the plans for 2024 :) The past three years I've started my year with a book from the In Death Series, so I saved the newest release to be my first read in January!!
I put way too much pressure on myself to read these past few years all while being a full time PhD student. Spent the past few months reading for my comprehensive exams that require us reading 150 books. Since that’s such a strict goal I’m trying to be quite chill with what I read for fun going into the end of this year and into 2024! Hoping to read a few Christmas romances! And eventually get back into fantasy, I really want to read the sequel to The Final Strife.
My only goal is to read series! I've been reading mostly standalones these past few years, or series that can be treated as such, but I want to immerse myself in some of those epic sff series (like the Witcher, or the Gideon the Ninth series) as I used to love doing so when I was younger! I also want to continue series I started but forgot to continue.
I am planning on two different alphabet reading challenges for next year. One will be that the title of the book starts with the given letter. The other will be the authors first or last name.
I ordered The Book Club Hotel to hopefully read in December and I'm currently reading The Invisible Life of Addie LeRue (yes I know I'm very behind lol I am also a mood reader). I also really want to read either Assassin's Blade or Sword Catcher before 2024 but that's if time allows me. Excited to see the books you decide on reading to close out this year!
I'm looking forward to the Finlay Donovan book! I've really enjoyed that series a lot. Also, Destroy the Day, the 3rd book in the trilogy by Brigid Kemmerer. Also the amount of books I've started and stopped... I cannot. I think 2024 will be me getting my TBR down significantly because it's starting to overwhelm me lol.
this isnt meant to be rude at all but i feel like all your videos have been TBRS,, could you do a recently read wrap up or just in general reviews on books youve already read
I also am planning on more reading of books I own or library borrowing in 2024.
Same!! We can be accountability partners each week on the vlogs hehe 🫶🏻
@@oliviareadsalatte YES!!!
Great goal! ❤

Every year I tell myself that I'm going to read The Eye of the World, but I never do 🤦🏻♀

Awh thank you!! I feel like I need to adopt that goal too tbh. So many series out there!
Your outfit in this video is Barbie core and I love it!

Okay but talk about perfect timing!
Definitely planning the same to just read what I own and try to get some series that I am in the middle of read in 2024 ☺
My plan is to read the books that I own. I think that I want to set more definite time for reading so I have a little more time to read.
Those are good goals!
Really love those 2024 reading goals! The pipe dream of reading all the books I own is so real buy why does it feel so unattainable even when you only have a few books on the physical TBR lol
Hahahaha yes! It feels like a dream goal 😭😂

Love a planner 🙌🏼
I love borrowing books from the library! I tend to find books i never expect to fully love there. I am currently trying to make my way through the books i own though
I feel the same way about library books!
Im reading only books I own until after Christmas. All are fantasy or urban fantasy books. Im a mood reader, I just can't plan too much. Hi Jake 👋
I hope you enjoy what you pick up! 🫶🏻

150 books for exams 😩 I hope the remainder of the year is relaxing and restorative.
@@FrockYeah thank you 😭🥹

That sounds fun!
I discovered Rachel Hawkins this year and I love her books! The drama is just exquisite haha
She does so well at writing drama thrillers!
I ordered The Book Club Hotel to hopefully read in December and I'm currently reading The Invisible Life of Addie LeRue (yes I know I'm very behind lol I am also a mood reader). I also really want to read either Assassin's Blade or Sword Catcher before 2024 but that's if time allows me. Excited to see the books you decide on reading to close out this year!
I hope you enjoy those reads! Swordcatcher would be a great winter read I think 💛
I did this tag as well was so much fun. 📚☕🎄🥶
🫶🏻🫶🏻
I need to set that goal of reading through the books i own 😅
We can make that our 2024 goal on this channel 😂
I’m half way through kingdom of ash, so just finishing that and vibing the rest lol ❤❤
I hope you enjoy!!
I'm looking forward to the Finlay Donovan book! I've really enjoyed that series a lot. Also, Destroy the Day, the 3rd book in the trilogy by Brigid Kemmerer.

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice. I wasn't a fan. ☹

I do talk about books as I read them in some videos, but I don’t really do wrap ups at the moment! I may bring them back in the future 💛
