ayyy thanks bro! Ive been hearing amazing things about the audiobooks. I’m super into audiobooks mostly for short stories but I might have to check out the blade itself AB now! 🙌

Will definitely check it out and add it to my list ! Thanks for the recommendation

Thanks! I Just finished up Hyperion, crazyyyy read! Will definitely check out your channel from some dope sci-fi recs as well

Stormlight is something I wanna pick up eventually! Have you read it yet, or starting now?

@@PaperbackVoyager I’ve read 200+ pages a day, I can’t put it down

Thank you!

Thanks! And wishing you a pleasant return back to booktube

@@PaperbackVoyager thank you

Thank you! still on a long instagram break myself and it’s been incredible. Appreciate the positive wishes man!

It’s so so important, just read for fun!! Gotta remind myself constantly still

Yes!! It took me a while as well, and forreal loll me too, it still feels a little weird putting a book back down and knowing I might never pick it up again 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Awesome, thanks! My favorite manga ever was case closed, haven’t read them in years though. Some of my favorite Horror authors however are: Lovecraft, Thomas Ligotti, Laird Barron, Clive barker, Michael McDowell, King and Machen to name some!

Nothing quite like a book that’s been through several decades!

@@PaperbackVoyager I’ve just started collecting. I’ve got a few that I got from charity shops over the years and I think they are becoming a collection lol. Wish I could show you lol

100% check it out! Can’t recommend it enough, so many gems to be found

Glad you liked it!

Thank you! It's been a lot of fun so far making some youtube shorts. I love having a few floating book displays for some lightweight paperbacks, makes my little work area feel super cozy :D

I get that initial surge whenever I pickup a new book as well, fan faction is something I’m curious about, I’ve never read any!

@PaperbackVoyager well, I definitely recommend giving it a try if you don't have any good book to read. I found some incredible gems between them a few times, and I think it's worth a shot. But keep in mind, these are works with no real editing or anything like that, and 60% of the time, it's some nonsense a 16 year-old while in his emo faze wrote, lol. You gotta search for the good stuff, but man, when you find that perfect 500k words fanfic that'll keep you reading an entire week, it just hits differently. A bit of a lottery, you might say. Anyways, if you'll ever think of trying, I recommend "ao3." It's the best one right now. You just gotta write in Google "ao3 (insert a name of a character of relationship, Harry Potter for example) and yea, enjoy (you might wanna watch a tutorial on how to use the site, it's a bit complicated for beginners) Also, sorry for the rant. It's not every day I speak with someone about fanfiction 😅

Thank you! And yeah totally have some recommendations. I would say if you’re just getting Into horror, picking up a collection of short stories by various authors is a great place to start. You’ll be able to gauge what style of horror works for you. An author I would recommend is Laird Barron: the beautiful thing that awaits us all is a great short story collection of his. he’s a great writer and his stuff isn’t overwhelming. Blackwood’s Baby and The Redfield girls are two stories I really like. A great novel to start out with too if you like a longer read is Misery By Stephen King. Gripping from the very beginning-isolated, claustrophobic horror!

@@PaperbackVoyager Thanks so much!! I do want to try the genre more, so I will definitely look those up.

Can never get tired of Agatha Christie! I’ll definitely be making a lot of content around horror books so look forward to those!

@@PaperbackVoyager Great, thank you!

That’s an incredible feat in and of itself tho! Haha yeah consistency is toughhh

Hey, thanks for stopping by, Appreciate the wishes and happy reading to you as well!

Setting small reading goals like that and overshooting them is a massive boost to reading motivation as well. I used to say I'm only gonna read 5 pages and then end up reading like 15 or 20! And yes, a page is typically anywhere from 240-300 words depending on the size of the print (250 is the most common in my experience.)

Love that you brought up how much it can help with sleep and overall mental health. I've found that reading has had a massive positive impact on those areas of my life as well

A fan fiction with over a million words sounds insane lol

Thank you!

@@PaperbackVoyager Your welcome. I mostly read horror and fantasy.

Seriously! If you're constantly not enjoying what you're reading, do you even want to in the first place? haha

Yeah exactly, I'll look at a book and if I wanna read it I'm gonna pick it up, and if not, well... On to the next one!

@@PaperbackVoyager I have bought a lot of books from library sells where at the beginning of the book sell you buy them by the inch and at the end it's by the paper bag full. One night I was having trouble sleeping and thought I would get an boring book about the history of the theater in London it was supposed to be a part of an 5 vol set I just had book two. And well I was up all night because it was vary interesting also funny. I learned a lot about where such terms as an packed house came from and why we need crowd control.

Thank you! Looking forward to the ride

Anytime! And yeah, once you see the numbers outlined in front of you it doesn't seem so daunting

Ayy thank you man!

Yooo that means so much, thank you! And that’s so awesome that you’re getting back into reading man!

That’s a pretty good stance on it, I’ve done that in the past but eventually for me I just grew tired of brute forcing my way through certain books

Haha true, I should speak for myself 😂

So true, when I got back into reading I was so slow, now I feel like I’ve doubled my speed

Great books tho would read again a little childish for me now but still very enjoyable for someone a bit more mature than the books were intended for

@@waleyboi06 sometimes those books from our childhood still hold up even today!

If you start now, by the time next July rolls around you'll already have knocked out a few books easily!

120 is crazy!! haha she's as dedicated a reader as they come, hats off

Yoo, I'm glad the algorithm led you to this video, and thanks for subbing as well!

I wish I could read faster :/

@@PaperbackVoyager most people do.. I know I think a lot of people are slow, but that's just perspective I guess. I generally read 300 pages in an hour if the text is small enough. If I'm really into a book then I will read up to 600 pages an hour. So it does all depend on multiple factors. I would recommend that you explore these factors to find out what is most comfortable for your reading. Large print hurts my eyes.

Thank you man, this comment just made my day, seriously!

Np man, seeing people like you, make me feel alot better of the future. Keep it up bro. On another note im still tracking down a book I read from the 90s, a version of the Brothers Grim that had alot illustrations/pictures in a big book.

@@HyperwolfSama Will do my man, appreciate you! And damnn, tracking down an old book is like trying to get in touch with an old friend. I hope it makes its way to you

​@@PaperbackVoyagerthanks bro, ima find that old friend.

Audiobooks!

Haha Thank you so much !

@PaperbackVoyager No problem, remember me when your famous!!!

Yoo, thank you, I appreciate it!
