Makes me happy to hear that some of you booktubers are decreasing your reading goals. I know you can read more though. I'm glad you will be focusing more on other goals.
You are so inspiring, Janani. I am Sri Lankan and finally landed in Canada. Loved all your recommendations and I have been following you more than 6 years. I am proud of you and keep rocking. ❤
Hey Jananie, from a fellow South Indian, Holly Jackson's A Good Girls Guide To Murder series is one of my most favourite YA mystery thrillers, i hope you enjoy them, the audiobooks are great too^^ its also being adapted as a TV show staring Emma Myers.
I’m also currently reading, “All My Rage” by Sabaa Tahir, which I remember you adoring❤ I have found the great importance of reading more diverse books and authors (:
#7 is so relatable! I often feel like I need to get through books and don't stop if I'm confused or my mind has wandered. I just listened to an audiobook and got a plot point mixed up in my head, but didn't take the time to go back and clarify
Taylor Adams is one of my fav thriller authors. No Exit and The Last Word are both very intense and thrilling. Highly recommend if you haven’t read them (:❤️
Thanks for sharing your tracker! I do something similar on my Goodreads (for better or worse) and set up shelves for subgenres as well as books poc authored and books with poc characters, since authors don't always write about characters they relate to. This is my way of seeing if the characters are written in a respectful, relatable way or stereotypically with caricatures. Also helps see if the books aged well or how authors' work evolved.
Just came across your channel so now obviously binging all your videos lol. I love your notion tracker! Thank you so much for sharing it. I hadn't yet figured out a good way to track my reading, but am definitely going to use it now.
A recommendation for translated fiction is Elena Knows by Claudia Piñiero, read this book last week and and I already know it’ll probably be my favorite of the year 💛 so much important commentary that I think you’ll enjoy
For some reason, I tend to fly through books at the beginning of the year, but then progressively slow down by the end of the year. Audiobooks help me get through so many more books!
A good thriller series (well it’s more of a courtroom drama) is Steve Cavanagh’s Eddie Flynn series. Do not start with the first book. (That was a debut and his writing evolved a lot since his first book came out). I’d recommend starting with his most recent ones or the most popular ones. You can read them as standalones. (I started with book 6 and I was fine :) ).The author is actually a lawyer in real life and the courtroom scenes in his books are so good. You’ll indirectly learn more about the American legal system. I knot it sounds boring but it isn’t 😁
I love the notion reading tracker- I'll have to try it out! Do you have any more advice for people with ADHD? I have always struggled with being able to actually sit down and read a book without my brain pulling my focus away. I do this with books that I enjoy and books that are a bit slow. I'm in college and I've found that listening to the audio version of the book while reading along and annotating is more effective for me. It's not the most economical way to do things though, because I would have to buy both versions🥲(if the audiobook isn't on youtube). I love literature classes but my ADHD definitely makes it very difficult. Sorry for the long winded comment ❤

I think you’ll love All the Lovers in the Night even if you don’t read it for book club! Mirko Kawakami is one of my favorite authors

Great goal list! I can't wait for your dive into mystery/thriller! One of my favorites genres :)

Your videos make me smile (: I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself this year❤
For mystery/thriller, I really enjoyed Kia Abdullah (Take It Back) and Alyssa Cole (When No One Is Watching).
Ali Abdaal's book is fantastic! I hadn't previously heard of him, but received the ARC. It's so motivating with a reasonable and healthy perspective.
My goal is just trying to read. I do want to keep track of my reading in forensic detail.
this is our year for consistency! wooo
Try Holly by Stephen King for a thriller...I'm 3 pages in and had to take a breather lol
So inspiring🤍❤️💚🖤
I need to DNF books too… I am the absolute worst at doing it
LOVE YOUR PALESTINE FLAG 🥰🇵🇸🍉
💜💜
❤📚
no to short form
Sup Zionist
