I read 6 books in 7 days last week, so yes it is possible. You don't have to be a particularly fast reader, you just have to choose books over Netflix, tv and your phone,
I love how honest this is! You can't be expected to remain a reader of young teen YA as you grow up (if you do that's fine), and I am glad that more options are coming out now with college aged/above protagonists. Best of luck!
Me: yeah I should do this to Also me: gets lost into the wonderful world of UA-cam My books: *stared at me intensely* Me: *whispers* I’m so sorry my loves
I’m happy that you’re getting back into reading. I used to love your enthusiasm and love for reading and it’s nice to see that you still want to have that love back, even if you’re struggling for whatever reasons. You were one of the first booktubers I started watching a few years ago and I don’t think I could ever stop watching your videos even if you completely changed your videos
This is really good advice. I also have been in the reading slump for a couple of months and it’s summer time so I should be reading a lot. Thank you, Sasha!
The Proactive Bookworm depends, for example, i try to read 100 Pages per day so if a book it’s 500pages it Just takes me 5 days BUT it takes me 5 hours to read 100pages and that might be a lot for some people
Just reading more and more! I’ve gotten faster over the years. I can read a solid 300 pages in 4-5 hours depending on how interesting the story is. But it’s mostly just continuing to read and read.
Belén Mancini i find it depends on the book too. If it’s compelling I can go hours on end! Dunno if that happens to you too. I’m trying to read faster to upload more book reviews on my channel consistently. Thanks for your insight Belen
You should check out R.S. Grey! All her book are available on Kindle Unlimited and she is such a hilarious writer. Her rom-coms are my favourites! Her book A Place in the Sun takes place in Vernazza, Italy and is so swoon-worthy!
Honestly who isn't trash for a good naughty romance xD!? I recently jumped into the treasure trove that is my mom's Margaret Moore and Juliet Landon collection and I am obsessed. I can read a whole one of their books in a day so I might as well sit outside and what for the garbage truck lmao!! Both authors write historical romance (History majors unit!) in case you wanted to check them out.
so far this month i have read 13 books, and i know that's not a lot to some people but i used to read five to seven books a month so it's a big step for me. I've also been the happiest this month and ive felt more productive while reading. Also so happy for you Sasha that you're planning on doing this :)
I bought a kindle in january and I think is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I was algo a big reader a few years ago but I've been in a reading slump for like the past 2 years, but my kindle changed that and helped me A LOT. Not only do I get really good book deals, but I can get books cheaper and with a single press of a button. It also helps that even though it tells you the percentage or the pages you've read, it's not the same as seeing how far are you in a book (I don't know why, but that helps me not getting fixated in reading a lot, but reading when I want to and I end up reading more). Go, Sasha! Can't wait to see the results of your reading and hearing your opinons :)
I find that reading online is much more difficult than reading a REAL book. I can easily read a book every day unless it's one of the 400 page variety.
Monique DeWyk I’m sort of the same way. I have a kindle and I’ll feel like I’ve read 200 pages from all the swiping then I check the progress and it says like 20% LOL
I know you've been struggling with reading over the last few years, so I'm super excited you're doing this as a way of trying to get back into reading more!
i just did 8 books in 7 days! it’s all possible, you just have to chose your book over your phone and tv, it really helped me out and put me right back into the habit of reading! x
How do you listen to an audiobook and read a physical book at the same time? I can only do that if it is the same book! I mostly listen to audiobooks while doing chores.
*I went a few years where I read like... less than 5 books a year. Last year I started using Libby from the library and got through 44 audio books. This year alone I'm already at 65 as of this week - with a goal of 100! So basically, audio books saved my life haha*
I feel this video, my reading life has been dreadful these last two years. I also tried, the "the mood will come when it comes, don't force it," and that has not worked one bit. So this month I really am pushing myself to read, and I've read 4; two audio and two ebooks. I'm currently trying my luck with a physical book, fingers crossed!
For Android users: if your phone has the newest update, go to your settings and you should find Digital Screen Management! It shows you how long you spend on your phone, how long you spend on individual apps, and you can set a time limit to the screen and also to the apps ✨ I went from 7 hours a day to 2 😊
this is such a fun challenge! i’m kinda doing something similar, though not setting like a set amount of books. i’m just getting back into reading again and having soo much fun with it❤️ (hello 5th book in outlander series)
Well it is totally possible Coz i am 15 and i read two books in three days so yes it can be done. All u need is a peaceful environment and if u dont have that just listen to river flows in u by yirumi while reading and trust me it goes best with romance novels.
I’m horrible about reading these days too. Definitely need to read more but also...just started Outlander for the first time so I think that’s where my recreation time will be spent 🤣
okkk im getting major Mera vibes from your look and I LOVE IT. Also this is inspiring me to try to read more in August! I totally feel the struggle of my phone and the adult world has really taken over my reading time!
damn Sasha good luck, I believe in you 😂😂 we have similar book tastes so I'm recommending R.S.Grey books if you're in the mood for some adult romance and you've never read her books. Sex scenes are not trashy at all, full of romance and they actually have a plotline you can enjoy, and overall her books are really good, at least the 3 I've read so far! I'm pretty sure you would like her books so my recommendation stands
If you like Adult Romance books I have to recommend my favorite author in the genre, Kristen Proby. She's an amazing author and she has plenty of books to choose from.
If you want a good indie read I highly recommend "A Mark of Fallen Flame" by Brittany Matsen. It's not on kindle unlimited but it's only $0.99 right now and it's one of my favorite books of 2019. It's technically YA but it's got a bit of steam and it's just soooo good :).
You look abs. Stunning✨ I try to avoid looking at how much I spend time on my phone. It’s disturbing😩. Yass cover of Beauty and the Billionaire😍 Enjoy your trips!
It might help to have an app - you plant a seed and then you can’t touch your phone because it’s growing, ergo you could read more 😊 there are those apps for writing too!
i'll be honest, i doubt it will help you much get over your slump - I read 10 books in 10 days last year in August and I had a lot of fun during it, that i even managed 20 books throughout the month - but i fell into a slump afterwards because I hadn't taken the time to fully get immersed into the worlds - that was last August and I'm only now slowly starting to crawl back out of that slump
I'm trying to move away from a lot of YA too because I'm getting kinda tired of it. Under the Never Sky put the nail in the coffin for me with dystopian YA. The Caraval series and Wicked Saints were good but, I think I want to try more thrillers and mystery. I've read The Bride Collector twice and I'm moving on to the Boneman's Daughter.
Wish you luck with your challenge. Self-bragging a bit, I actually have my digital book published and it's available on Kindle Unlimited if you are interested 😂😂😂 Sorry, I just had to say it. But I really hope you make it with your challenge. 😊
I read while eating breakfast, in car before work and during lunch . Once I’m home I read for another 4-6 hours . Legit can devour 3 books a week . My wallet kind of hates me
I read 6 books in 7 days last week, so yes it is possible. You don't have to be a particularly fast reader, you just have to choose books over Netflix, tv and your phone,
wow what did u read ? i'm currently reading city of heavenly fire
If there was a job you could earn money by just reading books, then that would be my dream job.
you mean a booktuber yes?
@reader fantastic yeah i know im just kidding chill haha
Proofreader?
In publishing companies there are people who literally just read first drafts of books to decide if they want to publish an authors book as well
Librarian, but you have to go to school for that
I love how honest this is! You can't be expected to remain a reader of young teen YA as you grow up (if you do that's fine), and I am glad that more options are coming out now with college aged/above protagonists. Best of luck!
Me: yeah I should do this to
Also me: gets lost into the wonderful world of UA-cam
My books: *stared at me intensely*
Me: *whispers* I’m so sorry my loves
_I'm in this comment and I don't like it_
I think I'll do this too: my exams have just KILLED my reading routine :(
Well I fixed it once, I can fix it again.
I’m happy that you’re getting back into reading. I used to love your enthusiasm and love for reading and it’s nice to see that you still want to have that love back, even if you’re struggling for whatever reasons. You were one of the first booktubers I started watching a few years ago and I don’t think I could ever stop watching your videos even if you completely changed your videos
"I'm sorry Android users", we've had that for like.. a decade 🤭
This is the most relatable video I’ve watched in a long time
This is really good advice. I also have been in the reading slump for a couple of months and it’s summer time so I should be reading a lot. Thank you, Sasha!
How can one become such a fast reader? Is there a secret sauce? I read one book in two weeks!
The Proactive Bookworm depends, for example, i try to read 100 Pages per day so if a book it’s 500pages it Just takes me 5 days BUT it takes me 5 hours to read 100pages and that might be a lot for some people
@@belenmancini4249 Usually read about 200-250 pages a day. And 100 pages takes me about 1,5 hours haha
Just reading more and more! I’ve gotten faster over the years. I can read a solid 300 pages in 4-5 hours depending on how interesting the story is. But it’s mostly just continuing to read and read.
Belén Mancini i find it depends on the book too. If it’s compelling I can go hours on end! Dunno if that happens to you too. I’m trying to read faster to upload more book reviews on my channel consistently. Thanks for your insight Belen
john dem text sizes and margins play a role too 😄
3:02 Brazilian meme 🇧🇷
I'm from Brazil. I don't speak english 😂, but I really like your videos.
You should check out R.S. Grey! All her book are available on Kindle Unlimited and she is such a hilarious writer. Her rom-coms are my favourites! Her book A Place in the Sun takes place in Vernazza, Italy and is so swoon-worthy!
Honestly I might try something like this before my school semester starts back. Thanks for the encouragement!
Ugh I love kindle unlimited!! Try Hate Notes or Bad influence(series) for some steamy romance 😂🔥
Honestly who isn't trash for a good naughty romance xD!? I recently jumped into the treasure trove that is my mom's Margaret Moore and Juliet Landon collection and I am obsessed.

Go, Sasha! Can't wait to see the results of your reading and hearing your opinons :)
*is bad at math but loves stats and analytics* GIRL SAMEEEEE
I haven't read a lot in a while as well! I am currently doing the reading rush readathon and it feels so good to be sitting down with my books again!
I find that reading online is much more difficult than reading a REAL book. I can easily read a book every day unless it's one of the 400 page variety.
Monique DeWyk I’m sort of the same way. I have a kindle and I’ll feel like I’ve read 200 pages from all the swiping then I check the progress and it says like 20% LOL
Good luck Sasha
Sasha if you want a romance you should read The Kiss Quotient and The Bride Test
You can try The Deal by Elle Kennedy. I read that one in one sitting......and it's an adult book BTW
holy crap I will never be able to read that fast 😂😂
Will Herondale hahaha I love your name 😂🧡
I know you've been struggling with reading over the last few years, so I'm super excited you're doing this as a way of trying to get back into reading more!
Agreed about the more mature romances, there's just something more addicting about them
for steamy & funny romances I highly recommend r.s. grey books and christina lauren. most r.s. grey books are on kindle unlimited
i just did 8 books in 7 days! it’s all possible, you just have to chose your book over your phone and tv, it really helped me out and put me right back into the habit of reading! x
What a queen. Can’t believe I’m this early :D Love your videos Sasha❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Listen to an audiobook while you are reading a regular book. Multitasking rules!
How do you listen to an audiobook and read a physical book at the same time? I can only do that if it is the same book! I mostly listen to audiobooks while doing chores.
*I went a few years where I read like... less than 5 books a year. Last year I started using Libby from the library and got through 44 audio books. This year alone I'm already at 65 as of this week - with a goal of 100! So basically, audio books saved my life haha*
Yes you got this!!! Also emerald dress giving those Evelyn Hugo cover vibes ✨✨✨📚
I feel this video, my reading life has been dreadful these last two years. I also tried, the "the mood will come when it comes, don't force it," and that has not worked one bit. So this month I really am pushing myself to read, and I've read 4; two audio and two ebooks. I'm currently trying my luck with a physical book, fingers crossed!
now the real challenge is 10 books in 10 days lol
For Android users: if your phone has the newest update, go to your settings and you should find Digital Screen Management! It shows you how long you spend on your phone, how long you spend on individual apps, and you can set a time limit to the screen and also to the apps ✨ I went from 7 hours a day to 2 😊

I hope you get that love again for books and reading Sasha💕, we will be supporting you along the way☺️

Romance is huge on Kindle Unlimited♥️♥️

Have you read the Caraval series by Stephanie Garber? It is so good and it got me out of a reading slump.
If you like Adult Romance books I have to recommend my favorite author in the genre, Kristen Proby. She's an amazing author and she has plenty of books to choose from.
Check out Adele Clee. Her books are historical romance and they are definitely available on Kindle unlimited 😉
Ohhh so you're coming to Italy 😍yay✌️✌️
*waits for update*
Literally. Like...?
Will you release a paperback cover of Nexus that’s the size of the Zenith paperback
my fav book-tuber is back yayyyyyyyy
This video inspired me to read! I work and have housework and sleep obviously but I need to stop with the phone and Netflix so much. Good luck!
I feel this video so much 💖💖
If you want a good indie read I highly recommend "A Mark of Fallen Flame" by Brittany Matsen. It's not on kindle unlimited but it's only $0.99 right now and it's one of my favorite books of 2019. It's technically YA but it's got a bit of steam and it's just soooo good :).
Android has the screem time thing as well. (But sometimes I wish it didn't :)) )
where can one find this?! I would love to know my screen time haha
dang sasha!!! good luck and happy reading🥰🥰🥰
You should do another 24h readathon it will get u reading loads and i like watching them xx
So glad you're back! The last book almost sounds like Felicity and Oliver from Arrow :)
sasha!!! i HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND the book "Red, White, and Royal Blue"
Yessss, let me know what kindle unlimited books are worth it! ♡ I have it too...but dont use it
This speaks to me! Let’s hope we can do it
Do you read only published books? How about manuscripts? Any booktubers that would read not yet published authors? Thank you .
You look abs. Stunning✨
I try to avoid looking at how much I spend time on my phone. It’s disturbing😩.
Yass cover of Beauty and the Billionaire😍
Enjoy your trips!
If you want to read some really good romance with steamy sences you should pick up Maya Bank's Highlander series! They are my favorite!
Good luck, I hope you’re able to read all 10 books and enjoy them!
The ghost writer is SO GOOD I think you'll love it.
Good luck, Sasha!! I believe in you!
And don't worry, Android phones also have a screen time capability. 😁
Good luck 🍀👍🏻
We r rooting for u 😊😊😊😊
This is how I've read pretty much all of my books this year 👌👌👌 (I'm at 45 with a goal of 50 so it works)
Im seriously cracking up at the memes that’s HILARIOUS
I read 32 books in 8 month
I've been devouring the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepherd
It might help to have an app - you plant a seed and then you can’t touch your phone because it’s growing, ergo you could read more 😊 there are those apps for writing too!
ReadWriteZoe is this a specific app? what's the name of it?
Malena Hughes I think there’s one called Forest! There are other types too, I’ve seen them on social media and Google - I don’t use them!
ReadWriteZoe thanks! I'll look into it. To get out of slumps I like to game-ify my reading
Malena Hughes You’re welcome!
the editing in this video was the best😂
The first book you talked about startled me because that author has the same name as me, so when you said it, I got scared for a sec😂
Dam so gorgeous 😩 natural beauty 10/10
that's the first video i ever watch of you and my first thought was "clary fray, is that you?"
Sasha just adding more books to her tbr XD
Hope you manage to get reading.
Have a great time in Edinburgh. Is there anything in particular you are going to see at the Fringe?
Okay, why do you delete comments?
i'll be honest, i doubt it will help you much get over your slump - I read 10 books in 10 days last year in August and I had a lot of fun during it, that i even managed 20 books throughout the month - but i fell into a slump afterwards because I hadn't taken the time to fully get immersed into the worlds - that was last August and I'm only now slowly starting to crawl back out of that slump

I feel similar to you about reading rush I am in rehearsals for a show this week so it’s not going to happen haha
Wish you luck with your challenge. Self-bragging a bit, I actually have my digital book published and it's available on Kindle Unlimited if you are interested 😂😂😂 Sorry, I just had to say it. But I really hope you make it with your challenge. 😊
I do think I read faster on Kindle than with physical books.
I love kindle unlimited! They have some really good romance! 💋❤️
Sasha have you finished the entire outlander series?
im in a horrible reading slump been in one fore year and half
I know the struggle of stoping to read after I finished high school... But I don´t know if I could read 10 books in 21 days:D
"Sasha wants SEX in her books!" Pfthahahaha I lost it at that
My average is 6 hours and 5 minutes. 🤣😤
I read while eating breakfast, in car before work and during lunch . Once I’m home I read for another 4-6 hours . Legit can devour 3 books a week . My wallet kind of hates me
My record is 10 books in 14 days when doing a sponsered read
Seriously where tf did you get your comforter
Android phones breakdown analytics of phone usage as well 👍🏽
Math in general is a hard nope
The first part of this video is literally me
10 books in 21 days? SHIIIIIIIIT! 😱😵
Love you and your book ❤️💛❤️💛
