      If you enjoy the A Good Girls Guide to Murder series, a good similar series would be the Naturals by the way, which is one of my favorite series with same vibes kind of? also this is the first video i’ve seen by you but you definitely have a new sub! enjoy your reading journey!

      @@yolandalovesbooks honestly my biggest thing is just pretending that I’m not doing anything out of the ordinary lol “it’s normal for me to be sitting here talking to myself” and just not giving myself time to overthink it! And just pretend like you’re talking to one of your best friends instead of worrying about saying everything right and all of that because that’s what usually leads me to overthinking and stressing out more!

      Definitely agree with this, don’t just read books that are hyped on Booktube or Bookstagram. Read what ticks your boxes and whatever gets you thinking “Yes I need to read this”. Definitely be a booktuber that stands out and does things their own way and doesn’t follow a trend. To get more attention to your channel definitely do the different tag videos as everyone does those but make your channel unique and make your own mark 👍🏼 Welcome to this amazing community

      so true, many of the bootok books are terrible in the literary viewpoint. the vocabulary, the gracefulness, just does not exist! . a book need to have eloquent writing and an enticing plot. that is what the minimum for me is.
      let me just list some horrible let downs: beach read, happy place, the inheritance games, once upon a broken heart, rhe summer I turned pretty, magnolia parks, hauntjng Adeline, every single colleen hoover

    Oooo I’ve been a reader since I was little, so it’s so exciting to see someone new getting into the hobby! One thing I would recommend is going slow. Quality over quantity. Just this year, I feel like I’ve forgotten about the books I read in January because I read so many. Also, I cannot leave this comment without recommending your read Percy Jackson. It’s my favorite series, and I think your like it especially if you love Harry Potter. (Oh and buy Harry Potter secondhand, we do not like jk Rowling). This is so fun! Good luck!

    • @HalJones
      @HalJones  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      Yess I’m definitely going to have to keep reminding myself not to stress if I’m going slow and just to enjoy it!!! Also me and Markie read your comment together and when we got to the Harry Potter part he literally said “I TOLD YOU!!!” Because he said the same thing about her!!!! LOL I can’t believe I forgot to say that but I will DEF be looking at half priced books or on fb marketplace!!!!

    Welcome aboard, reader! :) I've been a bookworm for as long as I can remember... and then I had YEARS of not being able to read anything apart from university books (non-fiction, as I studied philosophy). Even after graduating I had a huge reading slump made worse by my anxiety and depressive episodes, and not being able to focus and read made me feel even worse. And then one day I just picked up a book again, and here I am once more! Point being, who cares when you discovered the joy of reading, what matters is that you have a hobby you enjoy :) Have fun!

    Local used bookstores are always great when it comes to buying books and saving money! Its a great way to put money into the community and showing books even more love by giving them a second home❤️ I've bought almost every book I own, except for a few, from my local used bookstore.

    I’ve always had an interest in becoming a reader. Last year around June (I was nineteen) I bought my first book and I fell in love with it. I set a reading goal of five books for 2023 and I surpassed that by four books. Reading has completely changed my mind. At first I was scared of reading popular books, and not liking it, but I came to the conclusion that I am reading from myself, and not for others. and if I can make a recommendation, I will recommend the mindfck series. I absolutely ate that book up. I might be a little bit late to your journey but I can’t wait to see all of your videos!!!!!!!!

    Oh my goodness GIRLLLL this is amazing!! I can't wait to see more reading videos from you! As a fellow reader I highly suggest "training" your paperbacks as it will help to not destroy the binding. Although if you prefer to break the spines that is totally up to you! I definitely train my paperbacks though. Look it up it works great!

    Such a fantastic start for a book haul! I love your personality, and it’s gonna be really cool to watch your journey of falling in love with reading. 😊I recently did a vlog reading Happiness Falls. It’s for a very targeted audience, so I can see why some did or didn’t enjoy the book. The Father goes missing and the last person he was with is his non-speaking autistic son. I loved it! However, the happiness experiment stuff was a lot at times. Happy reading and welcome to the book community.🤗

    Enjoy...I love seeing new readers. I have always loved the journey you experience when reading. Go slow because you will find yourself in front of a stack of books to read. Enjoy each book and pay attention to the authors writing styles and genres that make you smile. I love this!!! Hit the public library too if your a reader on a budget.
