- Hey, y’all 👋🏼 Toooooday we're diving into an attempt at quitting social media to get back into reading. I miss when I used to spend literally every second of my free time flying through books, and I want that back! This experiment didn't go absolutely perfect, but it did go better than I thought it would. Let me know if you'd be down for another one, maybe the more extreme version.... Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out this week’s little Sunday video! Make sure you drink your water, be kind, and have a good day on purpose! 🫶🏻

🌷Let me know what you thought and what book you're currently reading!!
I’m currently reading god of the woods and I’m pleasantly surprised
Family Game by Catherine Steadman.
I’m excited to hear that!!
I hope you’re enjoying!
I only have a few pages left on kingdom of ash and this series has to be the best one I've ever read ❤️🔥
🌱🍃be kind to yourself, we all have setbacks sometimes and social media can legit be an addiction so it isn’t easy to just kick it. Any little progress is a win ❤
Thank you so much 🥹🫶🏻
You literally made that Goodreads goal. Unmake it. 😂😂😂 best line ever
Ha! The goodreads challenge will sure to guilt people who don't read as much as they thought they could. This year has been a interesting ride. I had my goodreads challenge up to 50 books. Then so many things happened in the beginning of the year (my mom and my last set of remaining grandparents passed away). You better believe I adjusted that challenge WAAAAAY back.
This weekend is Dewey's 24 hr Readathon and I hope to get some good quality reading time in and finish a few books I've already started.
@@rachelb751 same!! i had 24 books on my challenge at the beginning of the year (i use storygraph, tho), and then i started having severe health concerns in april which meant books got put on the backburner🫠 (that, and i hadn’t got around to getting the new kindle i got for christmas a case so i could actually grip it w my tiny baby hands until a couple of weeks ago) i’ve only finished 2, 3 is in progress, and i’ve pulled my challenge way back to 12 😭 hopefully i’ll pick up steam and get back to that 24 number!!!
Would definitely love to see another video like this one and this was definitely not a fail! You read so many books and tried your best and that is totally enough ❤🌱🌿
lol Olivia, I love what you said about the Goodreads goal. It’s so real. I have redone mine at least 3 times this year because I don’t want to slump!
Truly!! The way we pressure ourselves and then act like we can’t undo it is crazy 🤣🤣 I’m like why am I pushing myself like I’m in a marathon rn!
I honestly put my Goodreads goal at 1 every year for this reason. It gives me way too much stress when all I want is to read for fun. I love the round up at the end of the year, but I don’t want pressure looming. I’ve been in the worst slump of my life this year, and I’ve read about a third of what I normally would. Illness and loss of family members has taken quite a toll. I’ve never been so thankful to not have put a real number down! Do whatever works for you and your reading life.😊
@@Tinahgirl83 Sorry about your loss. I completely agree with not adding pressure to the things we love to do. I’m sending you good reading vibes.
Love the nonserious focus on reading. My goal is attention and focus in general when I give up the app demons so I empathized hard with that. Progress not perfection!! 🌿
I'm really lucky not to struggle the same way with social media but I enjoyed this regardless so yes to more 🙂🌿🌱
I definitely read more when I put my phone down! The struggle is real for all of us. 🍀 Hope you have a great week!
This was so fun to watch!! Yes please to a 2 month challenge 🌳🌱
I'd love to see the 2 month version of this!🪴
Oh my yesssss please please please, make that 2 month vlog!!! I’ve never seen your videos before but now I’m hooked. Thank you 🌲☘️🌿🌱
Yay! Thank you! 🫶🏻✨
I’m reading the wicked king (part of the cruel prince series) and it’s so good!! Truly just falling into the world every time I open it 💚
As I am watching this I am just finishing How To Solve Your Own Murder and saw it was on your shelf.
i'm so used to your long vlogs that i got confused for a sec when i saw a 22 mins video! i was like ... am i seeing things? where is the 1 or 2 before the 22:24 🤣
(love your long vlogs 💖)
hahahhhah, i was waiting for someone to notice it 😂🫶🏻
Im currently reading 3 books
The wolves of midwinter by Anne rice sequel to the wolf gift
Iron flame by rebecca yarros
Broken horses by brandi carlile memoir
A good trio!
I can't wait to read Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros ❤
Thank you for posting these kind of videos I have tended to compare my reading pace to others when I know I shouldn’t and this has been comforting and reassuring that it’s ok and everyone is different. I think I was under the assumption that booktubers read tons every single day and that’s not realistic lol
I’ve found that the good reads goal doesn’t even stress me out cause whatever I made that number up who cares. But fomo ever since I got Libby has been stressing me out cause when time is running out on a book that has a long waitlist and I’ve not even started it and it’s like the “2 days left” alert I’m like 😢😭🤯
I love watching your vlogs! They are my favorite to watch to keep me focused while I crochet and prep for markets! Especially your hour long ones! Keeps me from getting on social media and wasting time! lol so thank you! Definitely need more movie long vlogs! lol 🌱🌿
Current read: “How to sell a Haunted House”
I'm thinking about starting Mistborn. I've entered my Fantasy era!!
It’s so so good!!
Your videos are so relaxing for me. Thank you 💜🪴
Thank you so much 🫶🏻✨
I just got into audio books and love it for when I want to have a book moving along but doing other stuff. I always told myself audio books took the fun out of holding a book. No no no lol now I can have a physical book but a different book on audio. I listen as I do my diamond art paintings, when I cook or just want to relax back but not hold a book.
Loved this vlog 😊 I'm currently reading In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune. Not sure if I'll like it as much as House in the Cerulean Sea, but we'll see!
Have you read Under the Whispering Door? It’s the one that topped House for me!! It was so so good, although Puppets was fun too!
Would love to see that challenge again 🪴
🫶🏻
I love this idea. You’re motivating me to try. What do you listen to in your headphones?
I really enjoyed this - I love seeing what books you are reading.
I have four books on Hold through my County Library. I would love to finish The Underground Library by Jennifer Ryan. This is one of the Holds. I was reading it on my Kindle but I decided to just finish reading this as a Physical Hard Back Book.
Happy Reading
❤️🤗🔰☕️❤️
💚 I would love to see another video like this!
🌱🌱 I need to do something like this 😅 I tend to scroll social media when I'm putting off doing something 😂
Rain of Shadow and Endings is my current read. I’m going to pick my top 5 books and random generate my next book.
I have been considering something like this maybe this is a sign i should haha i am for the 2 month plan
I’m reading Hear of the Everflame atm and loving it!! X
I read Heat on my kindle in 9 days while working and with a toddler. I was eating it up!
I just bought powerless and I’m excited to get into it after finishing zodiac academy
Loving the title of the video and goal!!

Have read 4 books by Kristen Proby this month so far. And just waiting for the 5th book by her, to arrive via Amazon. It is currently out for delivery. Will start it once i get home tonight🌻🌼
I’ve really had to focus on hydration lately. Thanks for introducing me to liquid IV. I love it so much that I even ordered some for my daughter and she loves it now too. 💗💧🥤🪴
I love that!! 🫶🏻
I'm proud of myself. As the 4th book of Kristen's that I read called "Wilds of Montana," Was my goal book of the year. I had read 31 books last year. So i added on 1 book to make my goal 32 books this year. So smashed that goal. So here on out. Whatever my end finished book total is as of December 31st. That total plus 1 will be my goal for 2025❤
Great vlog 📚🧋
💛💛
🌾🌿🍃 love the vlog 🥰 shout out lawn man
Currently reading The Spell Shop- so cosy! Trying to get in to TOG but haven’t a clue where to start as the starting point is a debate in itself. Also reading John Marrs, When you disappeared, i am sure that’s the one.
Oooo book recommendation for you and I really hope you like it if you take it on board. It is my favourite read of 24 so far… The Betrayal of Thomas True by an author called AJ West, it is a historical mystery book that really touches on quite a few genres tbh. The twists in it are mind blowing, just when you think you have got it…nope wrong. Did I cry….😭 oh my goodness yes. The US really needs to get to grips with this UK masterpiece
I wish my reading was as organised, I am on instagram break apart from books I need to review and so far so good. I do need to get back into it though soon so am starting to prep a ton of pics so I am ready…
I hope you’re having a good time with your current reads!! I highly recommend jumping into book one first for TOG!
@@oliviareadsalatte is book one The Assassins Blade? I was looking at how you have your stunning editions stacked. I managed to haul the original paperbacks from a thrift store for £5 not sure what that is in $ and most of them are unread and completely perfect 👌🏼 x
Book one is Throne of Glass. Assassins Blade is a collection of short stories that all happen before book one! If you read it, I recommend after Crown of Midnight. However, I personally am an assassins blade hater and would say to just skip it 🤣
Yes please do more videos like this!! I've thought about deleting my social apps too so I'd love to see a vlog like that. I'm currently ready Can't Spell Treason With Out Tea 🩵
You did good, 10 books in a month is awesome. I need to go back to reducing my tv time. When I don't watch much tv I get a lot of reading done. I just finished Fireborne by Rosaria Munda and am currently reading The Woman In The Window by A. J. Finn. I am thinking about starting A Fate Inked In Blood by Danielle Jensen today since I have a little more time for reading today.
I hope you’re enjoying your books!!
I could not be bothered is my middle name when it comes to everything but reading!😂😂😂😂
I love your vlogs! ❤ I have three current reads right now 😅 I have a Words of Radiance on audio, reading Glow if the Everflame physically and on Kindle I am reading Viscious Prince by Rina Kent.
This is also a goal of mine... so far this month I've read 4 books!
🪴be kind to yourself! you read a lot!!
I'm always up for the short reading vlogs, I know I'm in the small group of that 🫣
I promise I try to add those in too 😭
I'm reading Accidental Summoner by RE Carr and finishing Nettle and Bone by T Kingfisher. Hello lawn dude! ⛳
Heheh lawn man 🌿
I deleted all social media and read 14 books between June 1 till now.
I would love another video on no social media 🌻
I'm currently reading Witch of Wild Things by Raquel Vasquez Gilliliand and loving it so far!🌾
Love the title!
I feel guilty for having more than one book on the go. Why do that to myself?! Currently, I have 3 books on the go. I am listening to the audiobook of "Done and Dusted", and reading physical copies of "Nightbitch" and "Knight of Ghosts and Shadows". I need breaks from "Nightbitch" because the Mom rage I feel sometimes while reading it is too visceral (the book is fantastic though!). I found "Knight of Ghosts and Shadows" by Mercedes Lackey and Ellen Guon for $2 at my local used bookstore and it is so 90s cheesy fantasy goodness. It is so outside my comfort zone and I am glad that I am doing that. As long as we are having a good time with our reading hobby - isn't that what matters? ❤ Edit: 18:42 I ADORE your Peanuts jammies!
I'm reading We Used to Live Here. It's creepy! 🌱
🌱
I totally get that I wanna read but i don’t wanna force myself. I like to make a challenge to try to read a chapter a day if I read more awesome if not or I don’t read at all it’s ok.
Im finishing up The Remarkable Retirement of Edna Fisher and next up is The Ashes & the Star Cursed King. Love, Jake's #1 fan Lynn, dog sitting two big dogs until Aug 3rd, 4 big dogs total 😂 Help
My june was great read 8 books but then my current july has been more slumpy with only one book read
Currently reading One Perfect Couple and The Writing Retreat.
I hope you’re enjoying!
@oliviareadsalatte finished One Perfect Couple today. DNF'd The Writing Retreat.
Starting A Good Girl's Guide to Murder tomorrow on my lunch break.

I would love to see a two month vlog like this. If it's not too much work, it would be amazing if you made it so we could participate too and talk about it and support each other in the comments of multiple videos. I really want to do something like this with my kids too so the support, and having a vlog to watch together would be amazing!

Isn't UA-cam just as bad if not worse than Instagram/social media? Am I the only one who finds this counterintuitive? If you want to not be on the Internet and you want to read more than just do that. Counting pages and time and posting online the whole process seems like a lot. Maybe cut that out too and see how you feel?
Nah, youtube doesn't affect me like instagram does at all. It's much more like a sort of TV than a scrolling social media--I hardly ever scroll on youtube unless it's to find a new upload from someone I'm subbed to.
Why this obsession with HOW MUCH you read? Do you ever remember WHAT you read?
I’m working on shifting my mindset on the how much I read thought process, I talk about that in this video. ☺️ as for remembering what I read, I do! I struggle because of memory issues, but for the most part I remember quite a lot of what I read.
@@oliviareadsalatte It was an honest question because I see so many booktubers talking statistics in stead of talking about the book they just read. Was not my intention to be an a**hole. Subscribed😀
Note to self: watch entire video then comment....or not...
I didn’t take it in a bad way at all, I assumed you were just curious! It’s a huge thing on booktube I’ve noticed too-the goal of how many books versus reading what you enjoy no matter how many that totals. I don’t like to focus on stats, so I’m working on not doing that myself.
