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,
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 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!
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
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 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
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.
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!
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!
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 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 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.
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'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.
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’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 🤣
*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*
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!
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!
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!
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 :).
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
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.
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.
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)
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 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
for steamy & funny romances I highly recommend r.s. grey books and christina lauren. most r.s. grey books are on kindle unlimited
Romance is huge on Kindle Unlimited♥️♥️
I do think I read faster on Kindle than with physical books.
Have you lost some weight?
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
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 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!
"I'm sorry Android users", we've had that for like.. a decade 🤭
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.
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.

john dem text sizes and margins play a role too 😄
I’m happy that you’re getting back into reading.

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
3:02 Brazilian meme 🇧🇷
I'm from Brazil. I don't speak english 😂, but I really like your videos.
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
now the real challenge is 10 books in 10 days lol
*is bad at math but loves stats and analytics* GIRL SAMEEEEE
holy crap I will never be able to read that fast 😂😂
Will Herondale hahaha I love your name 😂🧡
Ugh I love kindle unlimited!! Try Hate Notes or Bad influence(series) for some steamy romance 😂🔥
Okay, why do you delete comments?
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.

This is the most relatable video I’ve watched in a long time
Honestly I might try something like this before my school semester starts back. Thanks for the encouragement!
Sasha if you want a romance you should read The Kiss Quotient and The Bride Test
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!
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!
You can try The Deal by Elle Kennedy. I read that one in one sitting......and it's an adult book BTW
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

*waits for update*
Literally. Like...?
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❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes you got this!!! Also emerald dress giving those Evelyn Hugo cover vibes ✨✨✨📚
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.

Do you read only published books? How about manuscripts? Any booktubers that would read not yet published authors? Thank you .
My average is 6 hours and 5 minutes. 🤣😤
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.

Ohhh so you're coming to Italy 😍yay✌️✌️
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 🤣
Will you release a paperback cover of Nexus that’s the size of the Zenith paperback
1:38 😂 This part really got me.
Have you read the Caraval series by Stephanie Garber? It is so good and it got me out of a reading slump.
Good luck Sasha
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
Yessss, let me know what kindle unlimited books are worth it! ♡ I have it too...but dont use it
Agreed about the more mature romances, there's just something more addicting about them
*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 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 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
Android phones breakdown analytics of phone usage as well 👍🏽
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)
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!
great fan a book recommendation is a great book from a Joely Sue Burkhart you wud like it lol
Im seriously cracking up at the memes that’s HILARIOUS
Good luck, Sasha!! I believe in you!
And don't worry, Android phones also have a screen time capability. 😁
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!
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 :)

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!
Hahahah I love how unapologetically trash you are for Bad Boys 😂😂❤️
Good Luck!
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)
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?
I love kindle unlimited! They have some really good romance! 💋❤️
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

I've been devouring the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Shepherd

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😂
MINHA GENTE NAZARÉ TEDESCO APARECEU EM VÍDEO GRINGO!!!!!!!!!!!! 3:05 AAAAAAAH GRITEI!!
