ahoy, everyone! 💛 Hope you've had a splendiferous week. Here are some fun, quick, engaging books to read for when you're in a reading slump! I hope you like the video!!
One of my absolute favorite qualities of Linus in House in the Cerulean Sea is how fond he was of his pajamas that was gifted to him from DICOMY. I just thought it was so adorable. Before the Coffee gets Cold is also a really enjoyable quick read!
How I love and appreciate the fact that you used word count instead of pages. I always feel like we should use words to decide the length of books and not pages. I really appreciate this. ❤🙏🏼
As someone who's first touch of Gaiman was Sandman: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHA yes he's dark as hell I love it. Hope you're enjoying Sandman 💜
Ahh I had a long week. And a long day lol. I had exams last week, and today we had two extremely long classes on French and Literature Analysis. Not that they aren't my favorite subjects, but at the end of the week, I just want to relax. Luckily, next week is entirely a vacation, and I look so so forward to it! I'll be going home, and needless to say raiding bookshops 😅 this video could not be more perfect timed 😍 nothing better than to hear Christy talk about books while I pack! Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Here, have some sunshine and strawberry ☀️🍓
I really really love all of your recent books recommendations 🌿 I watched and listen them again and again while I’m doing something ✨ even if I already knew what books you are going to recommend, listening these videos make me want to read 🌷 love you Christy 🙈
Animal Farm is shorter than 75k and one of my favorite books of all time. The Ocean at the End of the Lane was also a great read! I need to read more Gaiman
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It was so beautiful and wholesome. Me and my friends had a buddy read together and totally loved it. Thanks for the recommendation!!
Thanks for the list! I recently read a book titled "Meandering Sobriety." This is a great book with a collection of 40 stories concerning the philosophy of life and work, a bit humorous and still thought-provoking.
I have either read or bought all of these apart from to the lighthouse and frankenstein - the ones I didn't have I bought after watching previous videos of yours. Can't wait to read the ones on my tbr 😊 My go to for slumps is the Pages & Co series or the Nevermoor series, both of which are so heartwarming and cosy 💛
Currently reading the first book in lord of the rings. I’m enjoying the writing so far as world building, its just so long. I feel like I’m not going to finish it. How do you manage reading more than one book at time? I’m afraid if I pick something else up I’ll lose interest in the current book.

I need to read The House in the Cerulean Sea! Everyone keeps raving about it, so I need to see what the hype is all about
They Both Die at the End has really piqued my interest. I'll try and track down a copy. Three of my favourite shorter books are The Prime of Miss Jean Brody, The Favorite Game and Day of the Triffids.
52k words is supposed to be about 102 pages, that is only like 2 hours if people read at 50 pages an hour, I think that is below average... so probably would take less than 2 hours. Idk, I calculate it sometimes but only because I write a lot and usually have word limits-so I usually try to estimate how many pages so I know relatively how many pages I have left.
the ocean at the end of the lane sounds exactly like what im looking for right now!! itll be my first gaiman book hehe i might read coraline after if i enjoy this one
Hey loved your content But I have a suggestion When you talk about a book which is not physically with you please put up the reference picture until you stop speaking about and jump to the next book It will be helpful that way Love you❤️❤️❤️
On the subject of the modern Prometheus, I think we could also make the comparison of Victor creating a man with his hands to the myth wherein Prometheus sculpts the first human beings at the behest of Zeus.
Very nice recommendations, you keep reminding me I need to read Piranessi! For some reason I tend to get out of readong slumps with huge books that are over 600 pages 😂 But I just read Almond by Won Pyung Sohn, which is quite short (don't know how many words but just about 250 pages) and I could NOT put it down. I felt really engaged with the narrator, so I recommend it for anyone who needs a quick one to get out of a slump ☺️
I'm hoping to make a video on it soon! (there will probably be a few magical realism recs on the list, but I have a lot of contemporary, non-magical realism Japanese books I love so at least you'll have some options you can enjoy) 😊💛
Because the number of pages changes depending on your font type, font size and formatting. Two books can have the same number of pages and be different by tens of thousands of words. So, number of pages is too inconsistent to be a usable metric (in my opinion) 😊💛
If you're reading this comment, one small positive thought can change your whole day & believe you can and you’re halfway there ✨. God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day.✨🦋
ahoy, everyone! 💛 Hope you've had a splendiferous week. Here are some fun, quick, engaging books to read for when you're in a reading slump! I hope you like the video!!
Short ass books 😂😂😂😂
Definitely appreciated the "Frankenstein is a book about a man named Victor Frankenstein who created a NAMELESS monster." we stan an accurate queen 👑
You have such a gift for talking about, and describing books. I can feel your passion for novels whenever I watch your videos.
"Chronicles Of Narnia" always help get me out of a slump. Same thing with the "Dear America" books. Kids books they are, but I love them anyway!
I loved/love the Dear America books! I thought I was the only one ❤
Yes! That's actually my favorite book and I read it whenever I'm in a reading slump and it works like a charm!
One of my absolute favorite qualities of Linus in House in the Cerulean Sea is how fond he was of his pajamas that was gifted to him from DICOMY. I just thought it was so adorable. Before the Coffee gets Cold is also a really enjoyable quick read!
I highly recommend you reading "The Bluest eye" by Toni Morrison.
How I love and appreciate the fact that you used word count instead of pages. I always feel like we should use words to decide the length of books and not pages. I really appreciate this. ❤🙏🏼
I saw the title, and I knew Ocean would be on the list! I just love hearing you gush about what is also one of my favourite books 💜
As someone who's first touch of Gaiman was Sandman: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHA yes he's dark as hell I love it. Hope you're enjoying Sandman 💜

It's such a wonderful little book 💛
I've read two of these books (currently reading another one you recommended) and I already know I'll love them all! Added to my tbr, thank you💛✨
I really really love all of your recent books recommendations 🌿 I watched and listen them again and again while I’m doing something ✨ even if I already knew what books you are going to recommend, listening these videos make me want to read 🌷 love you Christy 🙈
Awh this is so lovely, Jade. Thank you 💛😭

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It was so beautiful and wholesome. Me and my friends had a buddy read together and totally loved it. Thanks for the recommendation!!
i added piranesi to my evergrowing list of books a few weeks ago but i think i might have to push it to my near-future tbr. it's so intriguing! haha
Def going to try some of these when we need a cure for a book hangover!
Thanks for the list! I recently read a book titled "Meandering Sobriety." This is a great book with a collection of 40 stories concerning the philosophy of life and work, a bit humorous and still thought-provoking.
You’re giving me wonderful Aurora from Sleeping Beauty vibes in this video!
Ooh yay 💛 That makes me like this outfit even more hahah 😄
I have either read or bought all of these apart from to the lighthouse and frankenstein - the ones I didn't have I bought after watching previous videos of yours. Can't wait to read the ones on my tbr 😊
My go to for slumps is the Pages & Co series or the Nevermoor series, both of which are so heartwarming and cosy 💛
omg your voice is soo calming 💕💕
Really needed this, thank you Christy! ☁️
You're so welcome 💛💛

I love seeing you...You are vibrating in positivity...♥️
I love the Travelling Cat Chronicles. Made me cry so much 😭

I love Piranesi!
I’ve heard good things about the traveling cat chronicles and I hope to pick it up soon 🧶 🐱
I love it so much!! 💛 😭
Wonderful list. I really enjoy The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George every time I read it.
52k words is supposed to be about 102 pages, that is only like 2 hours if people read at 50 pages an hour, I think that is below average... so probably would take less than 2 hours. Idk, I calculate it sometimes but only because I write a lot and usually have word limits-so I usually try to estimate how many pages so I know relatively how many pages I have left.
Thank you for this video!🧡 My recommendations would be "The hating game" by Sally Thorne and "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio🌿
the ocean at the end of the lane sounds exactly like what im looking for right now!! itll be my first gaiman book hehe i might read coraline after if i enjoy this one
Oooh yay!! Hope you like it 💛
@@christy-anne-jones thanks for this wonderful video christyy!!!
Hey loved your content
But I have a suggestion
When you talk about a book which is not physically with you please put up the reference picture until you stop speaking about and jump to the next book
It will be helpful that way
Love you❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!!! I need a short book.
You're very welcome!! 😊💛
@@christy-anne-jones 😊
Katherine Arden Small Spaces is my new favourite short book. You would love it, I hope! Hello from Hungary!
On the subject of the modern Prometheus, I think we could also make the comparison of Victor creating a man with his hands to the myth wherein Prometheus sculpts the first human beings at the behest of Zeus.
What are your views about Pan's Labyrinth?
Very nice recommendations, you keep reminding me I need to read Piranessi!
For some reason I tend to get out of readong slumps with huge books that are over 600 pages 😂

Such a great booktuber.
I look good today and I'm doing well too! thank you!
Glad to hear it, Shelty! 💛
Gracias, siempre es un placer verte.!!
💛😊
I read your short stories and they are AMAZING!!!! They're so magical and beautiful! Everyone definitely read them!!!!!❤❤❤
awwwwwwwh I'm so happy that you like them 💛💛
How to know how many words are there in a book? Amazon doesn't have the info...
just came back to comment i read the travelling cat chronicles and i discovered the potential of my ugly sobbing. thankfs
Make a video on Japanese lit recs classics and contemporary. But like for people who do not get along with magic realism😂
I'm hoping to make a video on it soon! (there will probably be a few magical realism recs on the list, but I have a lot of contemporary, non-magical realism Japanese books I love so at least you'll have some options you can enjoy) 😊💛
Woolf is an amazing recommendation. Perfect list!
💛💛
If I'm not mistaken you have said in another video that you worked in Japan. Do you still live/work in Japan? Did you have to learn Japanese for that?
You are angelic Christy!
💛💛💛
My kindle shows me how long it will take me to read a book. It kind of stresses me out. 🙃
I recommend Dune by Frank Herbert. An awesome sci-fi story with touches of political, philosophy and ecology from the author.
Love your videos, I read 'Small days and nights' by Tishani Doshi. Currently reading Marian Keyes 'Anybody out there.'
Were you reading my mind? Haha thnks i really needed that
No food in the vlog 😢
Before I start watching the video, just by reading the title, I want to tell you that you've had a great idea!
Short books to pull you out of a reading-rut?
FLATLAND (Edwin Abbot)
EPITAPH FOR A SPY (Eric Ambler)
THE INVISIBLE MAN (HG Wells)
I've been in a months long reading slump and this video pops up :0 God bless
Hope you were able to find a book to enjoy from the list 💛
Anne Jones: she is the one whose verse is seen by the blind and whose words are heard by the deaf.
Why do u say the amout of words and not pages
Because the number of pages changes depending on your font type, font size and formatting. Two books can have the same number of pages and be different by tens of thousands of words. So, number of pages is too inconsistent to be a usable metric (in my opinion) 😊💛
idk what it is but u remind me of Hermione granger
Oh wow, finally found an Australian Booktuber.
