Fun fact, my techer had me for Secret Santa and she gave me The Cruel Prince - then I accidently got paint in it! So then I decorated the sides with watercolour paint... then I painted a galaxy on Zenith...😏
Oh Sasha I haven't even STARTED Lady Midnight which is very shameful for me😂 Hopefully both of us can finish the trilogy in 2019, its one of my need to reads next year!
I love it. I'm a super supporter of the DNF. My most recent video is actually a Let It Go parody about DNFing because I have no shame. I DNFed the Mortal Instruments series because I just got distracted by having so many others! Cruel Prince is a tongue twister, but I actually finished that one and loved it. Great video!
Uhh isn't the title a little off? DNFing is when you drop a book because you aren't enjoying it, not because you started and got too busy to read. Love the 2 and a half black screen jam session at the end!
DNF means Did Not Finish...but that doesn't mean that you're never going to finish it. Just because the standard meaning for most people is that it is for giving up on a book that you aren't enjoying, doesn't mean that it is the only meaning. I've set books aside, DNFing them for a bit, because I wasn't in the mood for that particular book. I've had several times where I have temporarily DNFd a book, getting back around to it a year or so later and giving it another attempt.
Honestly I got to thank you because you were the person that made me wanna read stalking Jack the riper ( and I was going through a major reading slump) so because of you instarted reading again.
I will yell at you to finish Lord of Shadows and then to read QOAAD because I LOVE QOAAD!!:D Need to read Children of Blood and Bone and ACOWAR as well! I would be down for the readathon:)
I am slowly reading War Storm. Once I finish that I can read second book in the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy and start reading TMI (first time)
That black screen music at the end was AMAZING 😅 I don't intend to read the books I haven't finished cuz they're bad .. I never stop reading a book I like 🙂
I just read A Court of Thorns and Roses series a couple of months ago, and I loved it. I had trouble getting through the second book, but I was glad I did because the third book was AMAZING!!! I hope you find time to finish A Court of Wings and Ruin because it is well worth it.
@@sk8tie Really? I just found the second book really frustrating. The first book drew me in, and the third book made me a Sarah J. Maas fan for life. She tore my heart out with the third book.
It's alright Sasha! I haven't even STARTED Lord of Shadows! It's been sitting on my shelf since it came out. I keep putting it off for some reason so now I'm going to have to re-read Lady Midnight in order to continue on!
Natalia Ramlal I just didn’t like the characters, particularly the main character(she was sooo. childish). The plot was all over the place, and the guy was controlling
Hi guys! I just finished this book "School Monitor" by Alex Dunn. I'm recommending this to everyone. Trigger warning for bullying though! I just think books about bullying deserves to be known in the world :)
I DNFd an Ember in the Ashes, I just read half of it because I kind of hate all of the characters, and I was bored af... Can someone tell me if it gets better, please?
I actually did finish one book I was reading in December but didn't finish: I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson. I had finished The Sky Is Everywhere so I got that book (checked both out at the library) but the due date was sooner than I thought so I didn't finish it. I didn't check it out this year till a few days ago so :) finally finished it!
I bought Lord of Shadows the moment it came out however I wasn't able to read it right away and it kinda got buried in my TBR. And now I bought Queen of Air and Darkness but now I kinda forgot the story so now I'm rereading Lady Midnight. Hopefully I get to finish this series in 2019
Omg you need to finish escaping houdini! its so good and there is so many cute scenes between Audrey Rose and Thomas!! Also when i first bought The Cruel Prince i binged it until the last 4 chapters and then i never finished it :/ i keep meaning to but i left the book back home so won't be able to read it until i get back from uni
I am the same with A Court of Wings and Ruin. I've got a readathon I'm going to re-launch in 2019 called "Finish-it-a-thon". It's basically the same as your readathon. Finish a series, finish books you started but didn't have time to finish, finish your TBR, etc. I'm looking for some hosts for 2019 actually, so if you or anyone in the comments is interested, let me know by replying! =)
I didn't finish Prodigy, Clockwork Prince (I'm currently reading it), the 5th book in the Maze Runner series, and I am number four. I didn't finish most of them because I was reading more books at once, not because I didn't enjoy them..
Yea all of these series I either haven’t finished the series or haven’t started it. I did finish The Cruel Prince though but I want to reread it especially knowing that The Wicked King is the Perustopia book club of the month!
Sasha... Cassie is starting two series next year The Last Hours and The Eldest Curses TEC is going to be about Malec's trip after they start going out (at least in the beginning) The Red Scrolls of Magic is to be published April 9th 2019
I've followed you on Twitter for a while cause I just follow a lot of authors, but this is the first video of you I've watched! Great video (and soon your books will migrate from my wishlist to my bookshelves!)
The DNF a thon is a great idea! I’ve been reading Stephen kings IT for a year now, and it’s really good. But for some reason I put it down and just haven’t picked it back up.
Coming from a serious SJ Maas fan, can I say that Idk why I was so surprised when you said “A court of Wings and Ruin.” Like: my brain has linked the cover with “Acowar” and saying the full title out confused me 😂
I still have about 300 books that I need to read. On another note, the main reason that I don’t finish reading a book is that the story does not grab me. And that is the only purpose one picks up a book in the first place.
YOU HAVE TO FINISH ACOWAR... I was so into that book that i read it in a day. Its amazing. And you also HAVE TO READ LOS 😍😍😍😍 Prepare the tissues for the ending 💔😭
A court of wings and ruin is fantastic in my eyes, I haven’t read as much as you but I love this series, it’s my fav! ❤️✨ hopefully you get to it. Also Rysand is for sure my new book husband, gawd he’s 👌🏻 mmm
I don’t know why but I always can NOT start reading another book if I haven’t finished the current book I’m reading. So if I buy a new book that I REALLY want to read, I’d force myself to finish the book I was reading even though I’m having a hard time going through it. This is why I try not to reread my books😂
Why does everyone keep saying that ? She has found a recipe and it sells, why wouldn't she keep writing in that world if she loves it ? It makes us fans happy so who cares ?
So relatable! I have the same problem but they always happen to be the last books in my favorite series (probably because I never want them to end). I'm so ashamed to say I did it for Opposition in the Lux series, City of Heavenly Fire, Mara Dyer, Penryn & the End of Days series, and probably more! :(
Totes didn’t finish Children and Blood and Bone either. For me it was one of those books that didn’t sink in as I was reading. I would read a few pages and have no idea what just happened. I do want to try again though. Down for the DNF’a’thon. - Nici
I’ve DNFed Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Renegades, and the Cheerleaders in the pasted month. Not because I didn’t like them. They are all really good but I just get really distracted!!!
I've always been so annoyed with myself for not finishing empire of storms because it was so far into the series that I was actually quite enjoying. To make it worse I almost didn't finish heir of fire but managed to pick it up months later and push through the rest of that and all of queen of shadows pretty quickly only to give up 100 pages into empire of storms 😡
I was so behind on reading and have so many books I got half way through so I brought them all on holiday to Iceland with me and finished reading 2 already hoping to finish the rest in January 2019
I am still reading the Outlander series By, Diana Gabaldon on book #5 The Fiery Cross loving them but taking my time with them as book #9 comes out sometime in 2019.
UPDATE! I FINISHED Cruel Prince!!!!! YAASSSSS
Fun fact, my techer had me for Secret Santa and she gave me The Cruel Prince - then I accidently got paint in it! So then I decorated the sides with watercolour paint... then I painted a galaxy on Zenith...😏
Omg yayy!
abookutopia yesss plis do a readathon
YAY!!!
yYAY HOPE YOU LOVED IT
Omg SORRY FOR THE BLACK SCREEN! I forgot to cut the music!!!!!! Gahhh
I enjoyed finishing out the song...lol
It's hilarious XD i just carried on listening to it
I loved the music
Its kinda great xd ugh i was waiting for something to pop out but whatever !
I wanna do the DNF Athon! it will be super fun and helpful!
Hell yes to the dnf-athon!!!
Oh Sasha I haven't even STARTED Lady Midnight which is very shameful for me😂 Hopefully both of us can finish the trilogy in 2019, its one of my need to reads next year!
Thats one of my goals for 2019. Read that trilogy
I haven't read any shadowhunters yet!! I am starting this month lol
@@luv1dem1dogz Hope you love it!!
I love it. I'm a super supporter of the DNF. My most recent video is actually a Let It Go parody about DNFing because I have no shame. I DNFed the Mortal Instruments series because I just got distracted by having so many others! Cruel Prince is a tongue twister, but I actually finished that one and loved it. Great video!
Let’s absolutely do the DNF-athon! I think we are all guilty of getting distracted by other books or life getting in the way.
Uhh isn't the title a little off? DNFing is when you drop a book because you aren't enjoying it, not because you started and got too busy to read. Love the 2 and a half black screen jam session at the end!
Manon Blackbeak glad I’m not the only one who felt like this was clickbait

Danielle Thamasa cool.
No, you just made that up yourself lol. It mean you didn't finish them. You may have liked the book. You may have not.
Literal translation: DID NOT FINISH. Not Did not like.
Sasha: “Thomas Cresswell, he’s such a babe...”
Me (in best David Bowie voice): “The babe with the power.”
Why am I like this? 😂
Great video Sasha!
I would totally participate! I really want to read more in 2019, because I’m a book hoarder who needs to read her goddamn books!
Same
I just started reading Children Of Blood and Bone yesterday and it is soo good! Completely recommend
I haven’t even started ACOTAR 😂
Jay G that’s ok but read it.
Jay G I’d steer clear of any of her books, there are ALOT of better books out there!
Mari The Wolf There are better books to read..
Rachel Templer trust me the series gets waaaaay better in the second one. I mean obvi there are flaws but def worth the read imo.
It’s been sooooo long since I read it that I’d have to prolly reread it before continuing 😎🙈
Honestly I got to thank you because you were the person that made me wanna read stalking Jack the riper ( and I was going through a major reading slump) so because of you instarted reading again.
I will yell at you to finish Lord of Shadows and then to read QOAAD because I LOVE QOAAD!!:D Need to read Children of Blood and Bone and ACOWAR as well! I would be down for the readathon:)
Whaa how have you not finished the ACOTAR series?!?!?! I read all 4 books in 2018
Same
Is it any good?
@@danialashraf4078 yeah they are amazing!!
Yessss
I didn’t finish them because of the sexy scenes 🙈
I am slowly reading War Storm. Once I finish that I can read second book in the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy and start reading TMI (first time)
Same I’m slowly reading War Storm too!
Please do a reading challenge, where we can read the book we still need to read together
The placement of your tattoos is really cool!
OOOOH I’D LOOOVE A READATHON ❤️❤️❤️ your Christmas 24 hour readathon is my absolute favourite video of yours, so I’d definitely participate!
honestly what a mood “books I didn’t finish, not because they’re bad but because I just didn’t finish them”
I would totally the dnf readathon because there is a couple of books which I have but started
That black screen music at the end was AMAZING 😅
I don't intend to read the books I haven't finished cuz they're bad .. I never stop reading a book I like 🙂
Can't blame you for not finishing ACOWAR. I haven't been able to pick it up after ACOMAF, because if it's more of the same... No.
Maelleth
It’s really boring, nothing happens for the first 75% and the ending is a total letdown.
@@evies.1018 Good to know :D
I agree that the last two are kinda really bad and it took me 2 moths to power through the last two books 😂😂
I just read A Court of Thorns and Roses series a couple of months ago, and I loved it. I had trouble getting through the second book, but I was glad I did because the third book was AMAZING!!! I hope you find time to finish A Court of Wings and Ruin because it is well worth it.
that is so bizarre, I've never heard of anyone that preferred the first and third book to the second!!!
@@sk8tie Really? I just found the second book really frustrating. The first book drew me in, and the third book made me a Sarah J. Maas fan for life. She tore my heart out with the third book.
It's alright Sasha! I haven't even STARTED Lord of Shadows! It's been sitting on my shelf since it came out. I keep putting it off for some reason so now I'm going to have to re-read Lady Midnight in order to continue on!
yes!!! a read-a-thon is a great idea for everyone including you!😋
I love the Irish music at the end
I’ve only ever DNF’d one book, and that was The Hating Game.
I'm genuinely curious to know why you DNF 'd it.No spoilers please if you choose to respond.
Natalia Ramlal I just didn’t like the characters, particularly the main character(she was sooo. childish). The plot was all over the place, and the guy was controlling
@@haleyhentze5621 I thought I was the only person who didn't like that book
Hi guys! I just finished this book "School Monitor" by Alex Dunn. I'm recommending this to everyone. Trigger warning for bullying though! I just think books about bullying deserves to be known in the world :)
I DNFd an Ember in the Ashes, I just read half of it because I kind of hate all of the characters, and I was bored af... Can someone tell me if it gets better, please?
i’d totally join the readathon! i havent finished night circus, mortal engines, anne of green gables, raven boys, golden compass and more 😔
I like to eat pizza while I watch your videos. I don't know why but it became a habit of mine
I actually did finish one book I was reading in December but didn't finish: I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson. I had finished The Sky Is Everywhere so I got that book (checked both out at the library) but the due date was sooner than I thought so I didn't finish it.

Pleaaasseee make the DNF-A- Thon! I desperately need to finish Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom!
I bought Lord of Shadows the moment it came out however I wasn't able to read it right away and it kinda got buried in my TBR. And now I bought Queen of Air and Darkness but now I kinda forgot the story so now I'm rereading Lady Midnight. Hopefully I get to finish this series in 2019
Yes would love to do a DNFathon! I haven't finished THE BONE SEASON and GRAVE MERCY and I really need to, apparently they're both amazing?
Omg you need to finish escaping houdini! its so good and there is so many cute scenes between Audrey Rose and Thomas!! Also when i first bought The Cruel Prince i binged it until the last 4 chapters and then i never finished it :/ i keep meaning to but i left the book back home so won't be able to read it until i get back from uni
Bought Zenith from Barnes N Noble a few days ago can't wait to read it..
I freaking love Audrey Rose and Thomas! And yes do a reading vlog/read a thon for all the series we haven't finished! That's an amazing idea!
There are some books that I haven't finished but doing a read-a-thon would be lots of fun.
I am the same with A Court of Wings and Ruin.
I've got a readathon I'm going to re-launch in 2019 called "Finish-it-a-thon". It's basically the same as your readathon. Finish a series, finish books you started but didn't have time to finish, finish your TBR, etc.

I Dnfd The Sun Is also a star and now I am trying to read it now!
I didn't finish Prodigy, Clockwork Prince (I'm currently reading it), the 5th book in the Maze Runner series, and I am number four.

LoS is incredible, I love children of blood and bone soooo much,I just bought the cruel prince and I'm soooo excited!!
Kerri Maniscalco is awesome. Hunting Prince Dracula is amazing
Sasha...
Cassie is starting two series next year
The Last Hours and The Eldest Curses
TEC is going to be about Malec's trip after they start going out (at least in the beginning)
The Red Scrolls of Magic is to be published April 9th 2019
Great idea! I need to finish books too!
I would love to finish my on again off again books as I call them, books I just can't seem to finish in one go... it is one of my goals of 2019
Omg did you say numero uno!!? Love it!
YES readathon, please! I also procrastinate a lot with reading and need a kick in the butt so this would be an awesome motivator.
I need a readathon I have so many books that I need to read for the new year !!
I've followed you on Twitter for a while cause I just follow a lot of authors, but this is the first video of you I've watched!
Great video (and soon your books will migrate from my wishlist to my bookshelves!)
I'd totally love to do the readathon!
It's okay girl! I haven't even started any of them haha!
Please do a dnfathon, preferably the first week of January for those who have to start the next college semester a week later!!❤️
YES DNF vlog !!!!!!!!! btw love your videos girl !!!
The DNF a thon is a great idea! I’ve been reading Stephen kings IT for a year now, and it’s really good. But for some reason I put it down and just haven’t picked it back up.

A DNF athon would be great. I currently have 3 books that I'm in the middle of and haven't gotten around to finishing yet for no good reason.
Yasss please do the DNF - Athon!!! sounds so fun
DNF-athon sounds perfect! Yes please Sasha
Can you make a video on your favorite authors/influences ?? Would love to see that as a fellow writer :)
I got halfway through Lord of Shadows and couldn't finish it. I found it so boring I literally couldn't drag myself through it
Have you read "The both die at the end"?
I still have about 300 books that I need to read. On another note, the main reason that I don’t finish reading a book is that the story does not grab me. And that is the only purpose one picks up a book in the first place.
Yes! I would love to be a part of a readathon!!!!

I bought Lady Might night the year it came out and I haven’t touched since. Cassandra Clare literally is exploting the story
Why does everyone keep saying that ? She has found a recipe and it sells, why wouldn't she keep writing in that world if she loves it ? It makes us fans happy so who cares ?
YES!!!! A readathon! I’m here for it!🤪
So relatable! I have the same problem but they always happen to be the last books in my favorite series (probably because I never want them to end). I'm so ashamed to say I did it for Opposition in the Lux series, City of Heavenly Fire, Mara Dyer, Penryn & the End of Days series, and probably more! :(
Right now I have none books to read🙈
I've had 30 books to read since 2017. I still have like 20, because my TBR mysteriously and magically doubled... oops.
I can relate to this so much, not only when it comes to reading but also everything else! 😂
Totes didn’t finish Children and Blood and Bone either. For me it was one of those books that didn’t sink in as I was reading. I would read a few pages and have no idea what just happened. I do want to try again though. Down for the DNF’a’thon. - Nici
DNF a thon sounds epic!!! And I haven’t finished some of these too
I’m reading The Cruel Prince now I love it!
I’ve DNFed Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Renegades, and the Cheerleaders in the pasted month. Not because I didn’t like them. They are all really good but I just get really distracted!!!
I adore your channel. Keep up the good work
I didn't finish Children of Blood and Bone either. I literally put it down one day and just didn't pick it back up. 🤷🤷🤷
We'll forgive you for the DNFs, but only because this video is so funny. ("Karate kick them in the 🍣") 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why the sushi emoji? You've put me off my favorite food...😭 JK
I'm a little upset |I'm just finding your channel now.... You're so adorable and funny!
I’m so down for a dnfathon 😂 I need to read so many books (specifically Empire of Storms which I’ve been trying to read for 2 years now...)
READ A THON PLEASE
I need to finish Kingdom of Ash, Deathly Hallows, and The Final Empire gahh!
I've always been so annoyed with myself for not finishing empire of storms because it was so far into the series that I was actually quite enjoying.
To make it worse I almost didn't finish heir of fire but managed to pick it up months later and push through the rest of that and all of queen of shadows pretty quickly only to give up 100 pages into empire of storms 😡
I would love to do a read a ton with you because I have a few books that I need to finish.
I have not finished Ready Player One. It takes me soooo long. I started it like more than half a year ago and I'm now at page 230
I was so behind on reading and have so many books I got half way through so I brought them all on holiday to Iceland with me and finished reading 2 already hoping to finish the rest in January 2019
As of now, I am reading A Court of Wings and Ruin and after that I am going to read A Court of Frost and Starlight.
Escaping from Houdini was phenomenal. Highly recommend!
Hi Sasha! I enjoy knowing you're writing another book "project red" and was wondering if we'll get to read a chapter or snippet soon?
Children of blood and bone is part of my Must Read list of 2019 😅
"I'm obsessed with Thomas Cresswell" is now a mood...😂😂
I am still reading the Outlander series By, Diana Gabaldon on book #5 The Fiery Cross loving them but taking my time with them as book #9 comes out sometime in 2019.
love your eyeshadow!
A DNFathon would be amazing!
