I'm in a reading slump. This video sucks. We're going to roll with it :)
Happy to hear from you anyways! You inspire me to read more. I'm doing a Bachelor's degree in literature, and your videos give me both a push to read and a break from the heavy stuff of my course. I just finished Elantris on audiobook, and I loved it! It could totally have the potential of the Mistborn trilogy, if he decides to write more. The same with Warbreaker - I was so sad to find out that it was (currently) just a stand alone! So much potential in the world, the magic and the many characters I've come to love. Anyways, don't be hard on yourself. We are where we are for a reason, sometimes we need a break. Let your mind breathe and the stories sink in for contemplation and deeper exploration. When you feel curious again, pick up a book that is easy and exciting, and you'll be all good again :) Much love
BookswithEmilyFox I noticed you haven't been around but I didn't know you were in Florida or in a reading slump. I guess we're on opposite ends, because i keep plowing through books... I'd suggest Windwitch because you read that before Shadow and Bone..
Read for fun, not duty. Duty is for other areas in life, not books lol
hehe you are not alone there Emily!! August/sept have been VERY slow reading months for me. I have 2 books left to reach my reading goal on goodreads and I cant for the life of me finish a book right now. I realise I was just crash reading to get to the finish line faster because uni is starting soon again. I see now reading challenges aren't good for meLOL. I get soo competitive with myself. I think I wont set one next year xP
Hey I'm a reading slump also! The last book that I read is 'The Beginning of Everything' -by Robyn Scheider form the library! & it was so good!
A Head full of ghosts is amazing!
When I get in a bad reading slump I'll reread some old favorites. Something about immersing myself in a comforting re-read will jump start my desire to read something new afterwards.
ninsiana0 me, too!
I really loved A Head Full of Ghosts! I would pick that one of I were you!!
I vote that you continue with the Grisha trilogy because once you get to the Six of Crows duology I guarantee you it'll get you out of that slump. Worked for me!!! I'll be starting Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman Warbringer by next week and I pre-ordered her newest book The Language of Thorns which I can't wait to get. And some where in there I need to read American Street!!! Dying to get to that one too! I need to read faster!
I am the one saying this: Six of Crows almost put me in a slump :O, my god was the first half boring (I would have DNF'ed if I hadn't already bought the second one in the duology...)
Always glad to hear other people did like those books though. I can kinda see where the love is coming from, but I didn't feel it at all. :O
MokaTutu Agree! The duology is one of my favorites!
Whenever I'm In a slump I go and read people's reviews of the books I'm struggling with, so it gets me excited again to read them. Works for me :))
The MadAddam trilogy is one of my favorites. Excited to see what you end up thinking of it!
Siege and Storm! Im gonna read that this month as well.
Scythe!!!!!!!!!!
The bell jar is a beautiful and sad book about severe depression. It is an almost autobiographical novel by Sylvia Plath.
same here, reading slumps are the worst! my vote is siege & storm, but I really liked that series!
I loved pines by blake crouch so would recommend
I just finish binge all of your videos today! And I have to tell I just LOVE the way you talk. Your voice is very mellow.
Read Windwitch :)
I've been in a reading slump too. I think I need to pull out the big guns - Harry Potter. That cures it every time.
When I'm in a slump. (Like right now). I watch Booktube videos and stare at my bookshelves until I can bring myself to reorganize them. Sometimes that inspires me to read because I see all the books I have and I think about how proud I am to have them and it makes me want more. I don't think that sounds very healthy...
Oryx and Crake yaaaaaas .... this series is such a hidden gem. So many more people would love it if they knew about it/ would read it! So excited for you to review it
You always remind me of Kate Beckinsale!!
Agreed xo
Yay, a new video!!
Pines....great trilogy. Read all three books in like 2 days. Faat paced. Loved it.
When I'm in a slump, I re-read books (most of the time Harry Potter) and it tends to help me get out of a slump.
I believe a big reason for a reading slump is just having a huge tbr, i've seen that with a lot booktubers and experienced it myself. There are just too much stories to choose from plus seeing these many unread makes it more a task than a pleasure. For me more than 20 books is already too much and I'm struggling a lot although I love reading.
Oh my goodness, I feel you. I am also going through a reading slump. Thanks for sharing now I do not feel so bad. Good luck to both of us.
Oh my God Emily!! If only I knew you had a book channel!!!! I have been following your make up channel for almost 2 years now, but book videos are my favorite!! I'm gonna stop talking and start bing watching your videos now.
I read A Head Full of Ghosts earlier this year and loved it! It's a pretty quick read, and I liked it enough that I have the author on a list of "to look for" at my local used book stores!
The French cover of Misery is amazing!
I'm in a reading slump now! I need to get back to reading. I hope you like the shining! I'm excited to hear your thoughts!
Emily! Jesus you have a superpower, HOW?! HOOW do you start so many books at once? If I mix two stories I start to mix them up in my head
I would start in on siège and storm I really liked the plot and how the characters developed!
And definitely pick up misery! I'm a huge Stephen King fan and that is one of my favorite books by him it's just so creepy and fanatical and just perfect for fall/Winter reading since it also happens in winter!
Possible choices: 1) Finish reading The Shining since you are more than half way done with the book, 2) Start a brand new book that peaks your interest the most (Scythe sounds fascinating), 3) Rereading books you seriously loved in the past, and 4) Take a break from reading for awhile until you really miss it. You could review other things on here... like music, TV, movies, etc. Or maybe vlog?
The Bell Jar is going to be an October read for me. I enjoyed the Freakanomics books.
What a coincidence! I just finished the Bell Jar. I liked it enough and it was a fast read, so I'd say try and finish it.
I love Oryx and Crake!!
Go with Siege and Storm! I've been reading it for a day and I'm already half way done. It's so good!
I've been having the same problem too. I guess we'll have to ride it out. I honestly wouldn't recommend either of those two if you're in a reading slump. I did not enjoy Shadow and Bone, and I had a hard time getting into Windwitch.
I've been really thinking about reading The Shining soon since it should be a good Fall/Halloween/creepy book for this time of year. I'm currently reading The Blinding Knife (sequel to The Black Prism) and hoping to finish it soon!
If you like the premise of Scythe, I'd look into the audible exclusive The Dispatcher by Jon Scalzi, kinda similar in basic plot, pretty short, I enjoyed it 😁
Siege and Storm for the win, this trilogy gets better with every book.
I'm reading A Head Full Of Ghosts and loving it so far!
I tried reading Oryx and Crake a few years ago, but couldn't get into it. If you enjoy it, I might give it another try.
I read The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and really liked it! I've started a few books and haven't finished any of them yet too
Love the guys at Freakomonics. They do great podcasts, also
If you're in a reading slump, I don't recommend going with Siege and Storm. It was definitely my least favorite of the three. I had to force myself through it!
After The Shining,read Doctor Sleep,it's the sequel and it's incredible!
Hi. Unfortunately, I can't help you there, because I have not read either one of those books. Right now I am just about finished with a stand alone novel called Silver Wattle, which is kind of a mix between being a thriller and a romance about 2 sisters that are living in Prague Czechoslovakia shortly after WWII. I have been listening to the audio book version, and I found the narrator to be mesmorizing. I am also trying to start listening to the Farseer Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb. I also started, but ran out of time to keep going, listening to this Savage Song by Victoria Schwab. It's the first book in a series, the second one is Our Dark Duet. I also have been meaning to get back to finishing listening to all of the Guy Gavriel Kay books. I finished working on the Fionavar Tapestry, and now I need to start working on Tigana.
I just got The Rithmatist from the library but I haven't started it yet (I read in order of what's due next).
Oh my god it's eerie how similar we are right now. I am at 94 books and although I'm currently reading 7 decent ones I just don't feel like picking them up! It's definitely not stopping me from buying more though lol
YAY!!!! A new video. Hello from the other side of Canada ;)
read the pines please! i wanna get into it too but getting your review about it first would be great!
Nowadays, I think it is really difficult to find books worth reading. So thanks for this video :)
Please give the Enchanted another chance it is one of my favourites books. So moving so interesting. Also to get you out of the reading slump I recommend The Devil of Nanking so interesting I could stop reading. Very interesting main character and setting because it feels sort ofike a mystery o believe you will feel compelled to keep reading, plus it is really short l. But a Head full of Ghost it is so good as well. I was so enthralled with the story it did almost feel like a movie to me. Great writing too.
Coucou Emily ! (J'ai commencé à écrire ce commentaire en anglais mais je me suis souvenue que tu parlais français !) J'ai lu Scythe il y a quelques mois et j'ai adooré. Je suis actuellement en panne de lecture également mais je ne peux que te recommander de te lancer dans sa lecture. Il se lit rapidement, et il est hyper addictif. J'ai adoré !
Read Windwitch because I just got it out of the library :D
I just finished 'Wayward', which is the second book in the 'Wayward Pines' series, and I can't wait to read the next one! So I'd definitely recommend 'Pines'! 'Dark Matter' was the reason I also checked them out, as that was one of my favorite reads last year.
Also, 'The Devil of Nanking' by Mo Hayder is a brilliant book! One of my favorites from Mo Hayder, if not my favorite. It's a book I've been wanting to reread for quite some time actually.
On another note, have you read anything by Don Winslow?
The Shining didn't scare me and it wasn't terrifying to me but I still loved it
Also, I'm in such a slump too! I only read one book in August and have only read one chapter so far this month! (Finished my reading goal of 50 books for the year already though... Maybe I just burned myself out?)
I am in that funk too, I am starting books too but can't seem to finish them
If you are afraid of The shining you can always put it in the freezer xD
89ohlala i love this comment xD
I totally know how you feel. I've been starting so many books and finishing so few. It gives no motivation to record because it's like what do I even say? But keep at it girl! I enjoyed the video nonetheless 😊😊
I found the bell jar to be really boring. It was definitely an accurate depiction of how depression can affect someone but not certain it is the best book to read while in a slump. I loved a head full of ghosts. It's not scary but it's creepy and I really liked the ending. Scythe is good too and I ended up staying up all night to finish it but I've heard some people say it's boring. I've been in a reading slump too. I've read two books this month and then some graphic novels. If you like Manga or graphic novels those can, sometimes, help with a slump.
I recommend Siege and Storms because Six of Crows!!!
I vote for Seige and storm and try the audiobook it's really good :)
I'm reading head full of ghosts and love it so far I vote that one :)
I'm just like you, starting books and never finishing
Have you seen IT yet? I loved the movie. Now I kinda wanna read the book.
i feel like windwitch is not a good book to read when youre in a reading slump, but it was still amazing!
You should reread a beloved book. It will comfort you. And encourage you to read the new stuff.
I'm currently reading Sapiens. It's really interesting but soooo long. If I put it down I'm afraid that I won't pick it up. Let's do it!
It's too bad that you are in a slump :S If I were you, I would drop Crazy Rich Asians...it's a fun light series, but more for the summertime, and it can be hard to get into because there are so many characters and plot lines. Apart from that, I haven't read many of the books you presented, but Oryx and Crake is one of the best I've ever read. It also can be treated as a stand alone, as I've heard the second is from a different perspective, though I haven't read it yet. The Sythe book, the Brandon Sanderson YA, and the Blake Crouch series look interesting and I might look into them :) In the meantime, enjoy the hot weather we've been having!
I'm in a reading slump and UA-cam slump as well :( it sucks but hopefully it doesn't last one I'm tired of starting books and not finishing it lol
Read Misery, it's really good!
Love your videos ❤
Siege and storm
Continue with Grisha just so you can read about Nikolai in Siege and Storm because he is precioussss!
I read a bit of Crazy Rich Asians at my library and decided not to pick it up either so I understand you!
Hey, do you sometimes read books written by french authors ? Because there are plenty of good ones out there ^^ (like La Passe-Miroir)
You must read Misery. And keep going with The Shining. It will be worth it 😊xxx
Windwitch gets my vote
I haven't been reading either. Book slumping isn't fun.
(Though a new to me tv show is making me feel better about not reading).
I have like 20 to 25 books I started reading in the last three months and I'm no where near finishing even one of them... so I'm glad to hear I'm not alone with this ;P
Although I obviously haven't enough books ;) I'd really like to get some inspiration and recommodations from everyone reading this ;D I mainly read fantasy books... I'm really curious to read some books from brandon sanderson, but I really don't know which one.... o.O Andy recommodations?
Please read "The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender."!
U LOOK GORGEOUS EMILY!
Crazy Rich Asians will have a movie out soon so I think reading it would be worth it.
Read Windwitch. Maybe do some tag videos and maybe that will help with your slump.
please try reading nevernight by jay kristoff
You should check out misery by Stephen King, it is one of the most praised novels of his and it is a very intersting premise. Crazy fan get a hold of her idol and keep him for herself to do what she pleases.
I've started so many books in august also xD. Its so bad. its like everytime I get to page 50-100 I feel like there is some book that i just REALLY want to read so I just "pause" the book to read this one and then the circle goes again. I've started A darker shade of magic 4 days agin and i am 1/3 in it, its the best I've gone in 1 month. Maybe its over ahahha.
Ow, the slump problem is too recognizable...
I have been going in and out of them since June or July as well...
Edit: Also just read whatever you want. If I try to be competitive in my reading in any way, my slumps are getting worse. It is supposed to be fun.
I liked Windwitch better than Truthwitch. Loved it.
What do you do with all the books you already read?
I barely got through The Bell Jar, so I don't blame you! Her poetry is great, but I didn't care at all about this book
Emily can you do a video in french? It would be interesting to see. :)
Keep Reading The Song of Achilles, it will get you out of your slump
READ MISERY!!!!
Siege and Storm!!
siege and storm
Omg this type of reading slumps are the worst. You want to read so badly that you start multiple books but never finish them and when you're out of the slump you don't even care about them. I hope you get out of it soon 😘
Windwitch
Sorry to hear about the revenge of the reading slump :( For the voting, I vote neither, Traitor's Blade by Sebastien de Castell. ^_^ Your going to ban me for recommending that book so much lol I just think it's a great book to read anytime let alone in a reading slump. I just started the second book Knight's Shadow, and I started laughing so much on the first page after the prologue. Sebastien's humour and writing is seocnd to none. :)
Maybe you could put all of those aside and instead pick something new that's maybe more light-hearted/humorous? If you haven't already read it I'd recommend The Lies of Locke Lamora, or the First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie - lots of action but plenty of humour in there so not heavy going.
I liked Pines for the first 90%, but the ending wasn't what I wanted.
