Very excited to follow your challenges along, and maybe it will help you through your reading slump. I find it freeing to get through books I've had for ages, like ticking off an item on a to do list which I procrastinated way too long. For the last 2 years I wrote down every book I bought and read, and set myself the goal of at least not buying more than I read. Works surprisingly well to see the numbers and helped me to decrease my TBR by 32 books. Also made a point of clearing up my unread audio books this year. PS: I think I read "Longitude" ages ago, now that I see it in your video! I remember it was easy to read, hope you enjoy it as well.
I would love to try this, but I just 100% know that I would fail because I still have far too many books on my tbr 😅 I'm at about 160 books on my unread shelves 🙈 good luck with your challenge!!
The first law trilogy is absolutely AMAZING, I've only read the two first books and I gave both of them 5 stars, the blade itself was my first fantasy book ever and I heard so many good things about the trilogy so I was really excited to start it and let me tell you it did live up to all my expectations, the characters are absolutely awesome and the way they were written was brilliant (I ended up LOVING all of them), I still have the last book to read and I'll do eventually but I hope you'll enjoy reading the trilogy as much as I did and the hype is absolutely real, I was a little worried at first like you because I didn't know if I would be able to read all the books, but after reading the first book I couldn't help but follow up with the next one and I hope you'll do as well, happy reading !! ( I did read the books in French, I think whoever translated the book did a really good job, I wish my English was good enough so I could read more books in the original language but unfortunately especially fantasy books I don't think I have enough vocabulary to fully appreciate the books)
You are with my other favorite Booktubers now!!!!!! I love how you think! It's so special and my other favorite Booktubers are "Haley Penn" and "JustAli!" Equal Comrades sharing words of love and pondering! I love watching Booktubers.
Please ignore people in the comments telling you you should or shouldn't be reading certain books on your own shelves! I am sure they are well meaning, but I hope you feel free and confident to make your own decisions about your reading life. ❤️
Hope you succeed, I have way to much tbr…I would urge you to get on “The Blade Itself” but you have to be ready to read all three books, cause the first book builds the series..the less I say the better. San Dan Glokta…
Just wanted to point out that the author of sapiens is an Israeli, i would look into whether he's a Zionist or not (most likely if he claimes an identity of being an Israeli) and I would avoid promoting his works if it was me. Edit: Wanted to say that I love your content, and I am excited for your journey in getting ur tbr list down to zero (something I'll never get around it lol) I only pointed this out as another concerned Muslim in the event you weren't aware, hope it didn't come across as anything malicious.
@ashleycarr3196 hi! Israel/Zionism =/= Judaism, and if someone is proud about being a part of a genocidal and terrorist state then I can point that out and it has nothing to do with someone being Jewish or not. Loads of Zionists that aren't Jewish - good try but go find someone else to cry to. Also if you want to go into semantics Palestinians are the real semites so those murdering them are the real antisemites. Hope this helps 😁
sapiens is an evolutionist oriented work and Yuval's book is not even scientific, it's based on evolutionist claim, why don't you read Sami Amiri's books he's underrated in the field of debunking pseudoscience such as evolution theory as an idea that species evolved from single celled organism i think me as a Muslim i have to have a basic idea of the argument against Evolutionists especially that it contradicts Quran explicitly.. and we have Sami Amiri's books in this field hope you can explore them
@@choco1199 Evolution is scientific, but Yuval has been criticised for sacrificing science for sensationalism. So I guess that makes him very readable as long as the reader remembers not to take everything he says as fact.
Evolution is one of the best evidenced science theory , and that doesn't discredit Allah or anything , please don't connect evolution with atheism as this is greatly ignorant ,
So excited to be doing this challenge with you🫶🏻 I was recently able to get a library card too and I'm already eyeing books i wanted to buy but can just grab there if i feel like reading outside my tbr
Good luck with your challenge!! I have DNFd/read my tbr down to one book and it feels so good. I'm rooting for you.

I'm afraid to even count mine 🙈😅
Atonement is a wonderful modern classic. In fact, everything by Ian McEwan is brilliant.
I love these types of projects.

Wanting to read the Qur'an in another language other than Arabic is such a flex Subhanallah 😭
