Ashley the haiku is better than Apollo's
omg the best praise I could ask for
Thank you for the heart. You are my favourite booktuber.
I am slowly picking up reading again after not reading much lately. It's okay to read less :) thanks for sharing!
I finished my entire tbr. I read 7 books, but two of them were VERY small.
YAAAY! ❤️❤️
I ended up reading 7 books this month (yay!). so sorry to hear that you're on the other end of the spectrum with a reading slump.
Books read: Catching Fire & Mockingjay by Suzzane Collins, The Toll by Neal Shusterman, Schooled by Gordan Korman, 1984 by George Orwell, Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
Oh dang, you read some good ones! It’s great to hear you had a great reading month!!
May was my best reading month, I managed to read 12 books!
I think it was mostly because I felt mentally unstable and read four contemporary romances in the span of two days:)
I'm going through the same thing...I took almost 3 months to finish the re read of Clockwork Princess
Glad I’m not alone! 😭
Think about it this way, you read two more books this month than non-readers. 😂
LOL TRUE!
Nothing wrong with reading less at all :) that was definitely me in April and I'm just starting to get back into it.
I love ur channel so much!It’s okay, everyone has that month 🙃
Aw thank you! 😭❤️
😁
I read around 14 books in April AND May , the amount of books I read in ONE month and more than half of them were reallyyy small contemporaries 😣😂
But hey, that’s still more than me! (Not that it’s in ANY WAY a competition but still LOL!)😂❤️
@@adashofash It isn't !!😂
I absolutely LOVE the HOO series! So happy you decided to reread it❤!
Your videos brighten my day! ❤️
i only have 2 books planned for june so im right there with you
Loved the video Ash🥰. I am glad you are writing more. Keep doin' whatcha doin'.
You really have a great way of talking about the books.
i slumped through May as well 😭😭 but it’s fine 😂
I have the Last Magician and the Devil's Thief sitting on my bookshelf. I really need to get to them because they sound great. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 3 books is still great. Don't stress about it. 😉
Loved to hear that you also have reading slumps. I am also in one right now and it sucks...😂🙄 xx
Aw I hope we can both shimmy on out of it soon! 💞
Definitely normal to have an off month with reading 😊 April was like that for me, and I thought it would be the same for May, too, but in this last week I’ve changed scenario, and that helped a lot 😊
I just read the entire PJO series for the first time and I’m immediately continuing into the lost hero
Ahh so happy you liked it!!
When I got this notification this morning I just couldn’t wait to watch this! 😄
Btw- you had already read more than me this month so don’t feel to bad lol. I started 2 books in May and only finished 1
Enjoy the day, Ashley!❤️❤️
I'm such a webtoon freak!!! And i love that ur reading brass and sass(love it!!) and I'm gonna start puple hyacinth. However i really recommend The Siren's Lament,its one of my faves and i *LOVE* it. All the plot twists and characters and magic its amazing. Alsoooo it's completed so u dont really need to wait and just binge read all the chs/eps. Highly recommend
I think u should compete with apollo... nice haiku btw
i might have to give webtoons a shot
my may slump killed meeeee :( hoping to get to a lot now that summer is starting up
i read 9 books and 2 mangas in May!! My favourite was The Tower of Nero, the last one in The Trials of Apollo and i loved it!!
The Haiku 😂🥰
you're so cute 🙏🏻✨
Rereading the PJO series again. Haven't read them in 2ish years. I kind of forgot the dam references.
Damn that same slump happened to me when I read Mistborn its a good book but it took me A MONTH to read it
At least I am not the only one lol
Yay I got a heart!
I just finished the inheritance games (book 2 comes out on sep 7 2021) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes it’s about this girl who inherits billions of filler from these boys grandfather and you don’t know why. There’s mystery and romance
Also the mystery is not just about the Money.there are so many twists and turns I finished it in less than 24 hours
(Also the relationship that I like reminds me of keefe and sophie)
Spoiler (not for the plot and not a big one read at your own risk )
There is a kinda love triangle that I don’t really like because it’s like she obviously should be this one guy but there’s this wierd tension with this other guy idk
My best webtoon recs in case you are still looking for them:
1. 'House of Stars' - it's absolutely stunning and it's finished so quick to fly trough
2. 'Shiloh' - very unique in the best possible way, and full of perfectly grey characters
I don't know it's really funny that when you read a lot of books..i have a reading slump that month..but when you experience a reading slump i read like a 8 BOOKS THIS MONTH!!Also just wanted to tell you that for june like today i started reading renegades and finished it TODAY..thanks for recommending it loved it..
Aw I’m so happy you liked it!!💞
I've been trying to read star daughter for almost 2 weeks but I'm just 40% in. But I started the folk of the air series and I'm in the third book😅
I read 9 books in May! It surprised me but got me out of my March-April slump. I loved Project Hail Mary, Being Mortal, All Systems Red, and Nevermoor. But I also rated 3 of the books only two stars so it was a very hit or miss month haha.
Hey, just recently discovered your channel because of the Sarah J Maas' videos and LOVED it! Have you read House of Earth and Blood? Curious with what you thought about it :D
Aw hello!! I read it last year and I enjoyed it for the most part! Definitely my least favorite of her series so far (it was kind of odd and didn’t pick up until midway through) but I’d still read book 2 haha
you have read heartstopper, i actually recommend checking out the alice’s other books! it’s sort of like pjo where *most* of them intertwine into a wonderful mess. also bonus points for all of the representation! (i’m currently reading Solitaire)
I’ve been wanting to read them so badly! Definitely going to get my hands on them soon!!
@@adashofash omg yes! i just love the writing style. and if you were wondering what order to read them, i recommend checking out *katie and can’t reads* video on it.
I still need to start the last magician 😩
I didn't read a single book this month, just a lot of great Webtoons! So please someone tell me that it's okay cause you are technically 'reading' the webtoons😅
Also you should try reading True Beauty on Webtoon. It is a very funny and addictive romance with likable characters that you are going to root for!
10000% I count webtoons as reading! hahaha
Atleast u read 2 books I merely could read 1 book and that is A Court of Thorns and Roses I have no clue why it took so sooooo long it finish that book and plus I FEEL I AM GETTING INTO A BOOK SLUMP😭😭 but anyways loved your video💗
Oh nooo reading slumps are actually the worst lol! I hope it doesn’t last too long for you!!
@@adashofash yes I hope too
You have to read Ghost Teller! It's a webtoon
I recommend Hooky, Freaking Romance, and I’m The Grim Reaper! (On webtoon)
I read technically only one novel. Oathbringer. And I think I am broken 🥺😢
Also I read novella Dawnshard, couple of Saga volumes and few Demon Slayer volumes.
Oh and first volume of Monstress, the art in that book is so gorgeous! 🤩
Omg but that book is monstrous in size so WELL DONE! 😳👏
📚
i read 11 books this month and 2 books on sunday alone! It’s okay because I read 3 in april. It fluctuates so don’t feel bad guys
Are you going to read realm breaker?
It’s been on my radar but I haven’t really thought about it!
I know I read over 20 books for the month of may 🤗😊🥰☺️
Oh wow! Congrats, that’s a lot of books
@@anyapotgieter7792 thanks 🤗🙂😉
DANG YOU GO
Hey so if you're still reading webtoons I would like to recommend Bastard by Carnby Kim and Youngchan Hwang.
I read 15 books.........
I finished 6 books in the month of May. But nothing really stood out for me. :( They were all mediocre reads. So I consider May not a good reading month for me.
Here’s to hoping the coming months will bring better books!!
It's ok if you read 2 books, it would be ok if you read 1 book, hell it's even ok if you read no books.
For some reason the title made me think "twooo is better than ooone". Reading slumps suck!
You’re totally right though! Two is better than one hahaha ☺️
Hi 👋 I wasn’t fan of curse of the serpent by Lisa maxwell... it just dragged for me sorry... happy reading to you!!! 📖🎬
It honestly is for me too! I’m so sad but hoping it picks up soon!
your so cute
Ashley
Please read name of the wind which is a fantastic fantasy book with a magic school setting
I have watched a lot of ur videos and u are the only youtuber match with my taste so i am sure u will like name of the wind!!
Pls check out abd post a video :) and it helped me get out of my reading slump first few pages are not-actually slow paced but compared to what it has after 50+ pages first few pages are nothing
Ps: if u already read it i am the biggest idiot ever
I’ve been meaning to for a while! I’ll have to move it up the list! ☺️
@@adashofash ill be waiting☺️
