+Evan Quade I find it the way I shouldn't and I apologize, I find it like is she or he was saying that bookworms weren't pretty and she was to adorable for being one. Once again: thank you for your kindness and I'm sorry Have a nice day
Nothing wrong with reading one book in a month! If you don't feel like reading or haven't had the time, there's no need to sweat over it - everyone understands. Books should be read for enjoyment, not as a chore!
Omg this pisses me off in Booktube - who cares if you didn't read 100000 books in a month!? You read one book & that's what counts! You don't need to give excuses for not reading - this isn't high school & you didn't do your homework so you have to explain why
Well your point is sort of valid, however, Booktube is for people who love to read and it's good to set goals for yourself. Sasha clearly knows how much she can read and loves to read so she's set herself a high goal. Booktube is also a place were people can discuss the books they read. So Sasha and other people who do videos like this are just informing their audience why they have not been posting videos, and that she's ashamed that she has not been reading. You might not care, but I bet some of her subscribers do because they want more reviews, etc.
its ridiculous how some people feel ashamed because they didn't read tons of books a month. is it good to set goals for yourself? YES. Should you feel ashamed because you didn't complete that goal? NO. ITS READING PEOPLE ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. rant over
If I can help you out Daniella, this is what I do when I hit a slump. You can try reading a short story or something, as like a way to slowly climb your way back to reading novels. Or keep watching Sasha and the other BookTubers and let their reactions on their books remind you how very exciting and thrilling it is to read something really good. There can never be anything better than to read wonderful books. Happy Reading!
+Evan Quade Yes I always watch the booktube community and I want to read so many books but then I start one and I just can't read it 😢 even if the book is good... I'll try to read a short story, thank you
+Crybaby at The disco I was reading 2 books at the time, Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare and All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven and I was actually enjoying both of them A LOT but then I started college and when I wanted to keep reading I just couldn't and it's been like that since March
I had a reading slump for a pretty long time, But once I started watching your videos again I got over it, and now I'm so in the mood to read again. Thank you so much Sasha I love you
I was at camp for the first two weeks of July and I had very little time to read; any free time was spent hanging out with my cabin mates. Then I got back and read the first three books in the raven cycle in a week...then I got into a slump during the raven king. I just started reading it again yesterday, so hopefully I'll finish it soon.
I got so excited when you said you read The Problem with Forever because I decided to read it after you mentioned it in your July TBR and I absolutely loved it.
OMG THE INTRO I don't think there's anything wrong with "only one book" especially considering you've been travelling and writing a lot more as well! Girl, that would be hard to juggle! It's totally understandable :)
Oh my gosh me too I haven't been reading as much as I usually do this month I seriously only read one book. We can get through this reading slump together!
Don't feel bad Sasha I've been in a weird reading slump all year where I'll start a book and stop it halfway I've only read 13 books and I'm in the middle of like 30! And I didn't finish any books in July either!
The fact that you even still read one book with all of the traveling you've been doing on top of the fact you're making videos and writing your book is awesome!!!!! I plan on reading The Problem with Forever is on my August tbr so I'm even more excited to read it! :D
Love the new setting! I've only read the Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout, but I'm really interested in her stand alone novels, especially because that one has such a beauuutiful cover!
I've read a full book and half of two others. I've also in a reading slump right now, and it's the first time I've ever had one. But hopefully the cursed child can get me back into reading.
The beginning was hilarious! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed The Problem With Forever! I read it in June and I really liked it! I really hope you like The Final Empire! I read it earlier this year and it became one of my favorites! Baby Doll sounds really interesting!
Omg Sasha you got to read Mistborn soon! Not just Mistborn but you gotta read the entire trilogy, all of it! You will love the star female character, you won't regret this ;) Happy Reading!!
I always start of the new year reading lots of books and then think that I'll be reading a lot during the summer and usually end up in a reading slump. But after the summer it usually starts up again and then I'll have to stop myself so that I can burst into the new year all over again ☺️
Congrats Sasha on reaching 300,000 subscribers you deserve it so much. You are my favorite booktuber of all time and you have inspired me to read more so thank you:)
as far as i remember he's her friend from college, he has a youtube channel called 'Kal'. Also Sasha and Kal have collab videos, you should check them out :)
About that subject: I absolutly recommend the book 'Room'. It is about a five-year-old boy: Jack and his mom who live locked in a 11 foot-square room. Jack is born there and doesn't know there is a world outside. It is written from his perspective. It is absolutly amazing.
I read' Carry On A Court of Thorns & Roses A Court of Mist and Fury Divergent (Reread because Summer Reading) Cinder I'm reading Scarlet right now, IM IN LOVE for the Lunar Chronicles so far. YAAAAS!
ohohohoh ACOMAF is my favourite book ever. But Sarah's books seriously cause reading slumps after. They are hard books to compare to because they really know how to take you away.
+BecomingTia I am currently reading ACOMAF and I REALLY enjoyed the first book in the series and had heard brilliant things about the next book so I had to get it. Currently, I'm at about 326 pages and idk.... maybe like the last book the ending chapters will get to me to fall in love with it?? Please tell me the remaining parts become more interesting because at the moment nothing much is happening yet. :/
ACOMAF is similar to Heir of Fire in the sense that it is long and some parts are slower (as in less action and more character development). It’s my favorite book of all time, and I think it’s a lot better than ACOTAR, which I also liked.
Isabelle O. Let it carry you away. Don't think about gush reviews or anything. Just get soaked up in the characters and the impending romance. The beginning of the book with Tamlin is slow. Once she is with Rhysand it's more about setting up and introducing new characters. Then...she basically gives fans what they want even when they didn't know they wanted it. It's not fan fiction writing, but it's like getting everything you need...like, it's such a satisfying book especially around the 400-500 page mark.
I loved the intro to this video!! I hope to read The Problem with Forever and Star Touched Queen in August. Haven't heard much about the Brandon Sanderson novel but will definite check it out.
I have read seven books last month; I re-read the four first books in the mortal instruments and then I read City of Fallen Angels, City of Heavenly Fire and The Infinite Sea☺️
Loved that intro! Ha!! So funny :D 2nd time watching.. but b/c I just had to update my tbr b4 I forget .. you always make that list pile up!!! Thanx Sasha :)
I feel you Sasha, I have had a reading slump the entire summer!!!! 😱😢 I have only read two books Red Queen and City of Bones, wich let me tell you the 2 were AWEESOOMEE
But it's still awesome because you're a student who can write books, read, review them, and post videos! That's amazing. Sasha give yourself a high five. Seriously.
I have these pauses all the time and i am not ashamed :D We need breaks so we will never get bored or tired of reading ;) Also, our eyes need breaks too :D
First off, I love your videos and book reviews! I am an avid reader and always on the hunt for new books. Unfortunately, I too am in a book slump. Grrr! Last year I read over 260 books and this year I too have had to adjust my Goodreads Reading Challenge. In July I finished reading books 2 &3 of The Magicians Series by Lev Grossman, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, The Serpentine Butterfly by Addison Moore and started The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas. On my August TBR list I am looking forward to finishing The Throne of Glass Series and The Cursed Child. Looking forward to your next video.
I read nine books: The Gentlemen Outlaw and Me-Eli by Mary Downing Hahn Wings,Spells,Illusions and Destined all by Aprilynne Pike Proxy and Guardian by Alex London The original version of the little mermaid And The bad boy and the tomboy by Nicole Nwosu
I'm reading the Reed Brothers series (all of them) also I'm reading The Siren by Kiera Cass and re-reading Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare, loveeee your library!
"And I darken sounds amazing. Transylvania and Valahia are both in Romania (where I was born) so I will definitely be reading this! Thanks for the recommendation ^_^
Lol Sasha that opening scene was perfect!!!!😂 Totally forgive you! This month was CRAZYYYYY FOR YOU!!!!! (Your office is so cute already!! I LOVE IT!!!💗)
I read seven books Ignite by Sara B. Larson Splintered by A. G. Howard Summer of Sloane by Erin L. Schneider The Mystery at Lilac Inn by Carolyn Keene The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson Nerve by Jeanne Ryan The Isle of the Lost by Melissa De La Cruz
For what you said about Babby Doll, that book is a "copy" of Room (That book that was turned into a movie and it was even nominated for best picture). but i hope you'll like anyway! 😘

IKR
Christine's video in the background😂👌

You look so beautiful in this video Sasha!
Ikr!!
She's very adorable for a bookworm ;)
+Evan Quade for a bookworm..? Are you serious? It's like saying "pretty good, for a girl"...
+Clary Book Fangirl Why not? That's we readers are proud to be. And Sasha is a proud one as I can see ;)
+Evan Quade I find it the way I shouldn't and I apologize, I find it like is she or he was saying that bookworms weren't pretty and she was to adorable for being one. Once again: thank you for your kindness and I'm sorry
Have a nice day

It makes reading stressful doesn't it?! So frustrating !
YES. This is exactly why I didn't do the booktubeathon this year 😒

+Astrid Sabillon yup
+HAZLES LIFE I just started reading it and it's so good 😋
Shame on ME! I haven't read a single book in months! 😫 This reading slump is killing me
Same here 😔

Great video!

the beginning gave me some GOT vibes, btw enjoying the new setting!
It should've! It was from GoT!
+abookutopia oohh i haven't watched it yet
I got so excited when you said you read The Problem with Forever because I decided to read it after you mentioned it in your July TBR and I absolutely loved it.
Your hair looks so nice Sasha!!
OMG THE INTRO
I don't think there's anything wrong with "only one book" especially considering you've been travelling and writing a lot more as well! Girl, that would be hard to juggle! It's totally understandable :)
That shame impression was spot on! I read OUTLANDER last month, and I LOVED it (I mean, how could I not?).
Oh my gosh me too I haven't been reading as much as I usually do this month I seriously only read one book. We can get through this reading slump together!
Don't feel bad Sasha I've been in a weird reading slump all year where I'll start a book and stop it halfway I've only read 13 books and I'm in the middle of like 30! And I didn't finish any books in July either!

What a great way to start off the month of August with a Sasha video! Thanks!
Baby doll sounds so much like Room by Emma Donoghue, like suspiciously so.....
The beginning was hilarious! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed The Problem With Forever! I read it in June and I really liked it! I really hope you like The Final Empire! I read it earlier this year and it became one of my favorites! Baby Doll sounds really interesting!
You're gonna love the Magic system in the Final Empire.
SHES MY FAVORITE!!! your videos bring up my mood every day!!!
don't worry sasha i started a book last month and i'm not even half way done yet, i feel the same myself.
Girl same I need to read two for Homework and not even done with the first one

Haha true!
+Abby Kane it's alright, I just barely managed three, and one of them didn't even really count because it was a re read so I skimmed right through it
+abookutopia yeah! I got a laugh!
THE MISTBORN SERIES IS THE BEST EVER, IM SO HAPPY YOURE READING THEM
Omg Sasha you got to read Mistborn soon! Not just Mistborn but you gotta read the entire trilogy, all of it! You will love the star female character, you won't regret this ;) Happy Reading!!
I read Zenith part 1 in July! Good luck with finishing the whole thing!
Love the opening, lol, that is always how I feel if I don't read because of classes. I'm reading And I Darken as well really enjoying it
Oh my Gosh same... just because July is always so busy. 😢 I hope I get to read in August though...
Sasha's hair looks so good this color!!
I always start of the new year reading lots of books and then think that I'll be reading a lot during the summer and usually end up in a reading slump. But after the summer it usually starts up again and then I'll have to stop myself so that I can burst into the new year all over again ☺️
Just finished Mistborn today. I'm obsessed.
I was on vacation this week and just saw this. Love this hairstyle!🔥
Congrats Sasha on reaching 300,000 subscribers you deserve it so much. You are my favorite booktuber of all time and you have inspired me to read more so thank you:)
This hairstyle is so flattering!
I CANT GET OVER OF HOW PRETTY YOUR HAIR IS
I know this is random, but I still hardcore ship you and Kal😗
SAME LMAOOO
+From Kat THANK YOUUUU
+Olivia Brown who's Kal ??
as far as i remember he's her friend from college, he has a youtube channel called 'Kal'. Also Sasha and Kal have collab videos, you should check them out :)
Dude what happened to him i miss him on this channel LOL
About that subject: I absolutly recommend the book 'Room'. It is about a five-year-old boy: Jack and his mom who live locked in a 11 foot-square room. Jack is born there and doesn't know there is a world outside. It is written from his perspective. It is absolutly amazing.
I read'
Carry On
A Court of Thorns & Roses
A Court of Mist and Fury
Divergent (Reread because Summer Reading)
Cinder
I'm reading Scarlet right now, IM IN LOVE for the Lunar Chronicles so far. YAAAAS!
IM CANT GET OVER WITH HOW PRETTY YOUR HAIR IS
I only read A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Mass, such a good book and I really need to read A Court of Mist and Fury
ohohohoh ACOMAF is my favourite book ever. But Sarah's books seriously cause reading slumps after. They are hard books to compare to because they really know how to take you away.

I realized this was my favourite book AFTER I read, and definitely not during.
I read 6 books in July and I'm pretty proud on myself. I usually read 2 or 3 books per month. But I guess I read more because of summer vacation. :)
I loved the intro to this video!! I hope to read The Problem with Forever and Star Touched Queen in August. Haven't heard much about the Brandon Sanderson novel but will definite check it out.
Hey Sasha, I have seen months when you read 10 books. Its okay. Happy reading!
I watched that one about the 3 girls as well and it was crazy terrifying that something like that happened. I think they were captive for ten years.
A reading slump is like a period for readers
I know it's totally random, but I really love your your this haircut and hair color! :D
I can't keep my eyes of your computer wallpaper, love a good stag :P
Baby Doll is written by a writer on Shadowhunters! :)
I have read seven books last month; I re-read the four first books in the mortal instruments and then I read City of Fallen Angels, City of Heavenly Fire and The Infinite Sea☺️
so THAT'S where my reading slump went! haven't had one this year! so happy :)
The final empire is amazing!!!! Enjoy
Your hair looks awesome, Sasha! Love the dark brown on you. :)
And I Darken by Kiersten White was actually the last book I read for July, and I absolutely loved it! I would definitely recommend it!
Loved that intro! Ha!!
So funny :D
2nd time watching.. but b/c I just had to update my tbr b4 I forget .. you always make that list pile up!!! Thanx Sasha :)
love your new office! we all get into reading slumps 🙃
I love your haircolour Sasha! Your lipstick looks beautiful too x
In July I read The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey. I also read The Magician's Nephew from The Chronicles of Narnia :)
Don't worry Sasha, I'm in the same boat because of work and my own writing. I only read one book this month: Prodigy by Marie Lu.
good luck on your writing!
Aw thank you, it's coming along slowly, but nicely
I'm reading Prodigy now! Only 70 more pages....
Saja Abuammer it's the slower of the three books I think (so far) but it's still good
I read three books
- Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief
- The Unexpected Everything
- Crown of Midnight
Yes! Mistborn. I really want to hear about this one.
I feel you Sasha, I have had a reading slump the entire summer!!!! 😱😢 I have only read two books Red Queen and City of Bones, wich let me tell you the 2 were AWEESOOMEE
But it's still awesome because you're a student who can write books, read, review them, and post videos! That's amazing. Sasha give yourself a high five. Seriously.

Room was a book first. It's by Emma Donoghue. (I may have spelt her name wrong.) x
Hey Sasha. I went to The bookstore in my city and I bought me before you and outlander. I'm really excited to read both of them 💕
Me Before You is one of my favorite books! I hope you enjoy it.
Lol Sasha that opening scene was perfect!!!!😂 Totally forgive you! This month was CRAZYYYYY FOR YOU!!!!! (Your office is so cute already!! I LOVE IT!!!💗)

I loved The Problem with Forever, I definitely teared up a few times haha
In July I read:
Catching Fire
Mockingjay (took me forever to read because I worked at a camp for two weeks)
I really understand you Sasha when you don't read what you intended to read, so I understand you.
The beginning was just awesome :')
your hair, your lipstick, your intro = YAS SASHA, YASSSSSSSSSS
Gurl Mistborn is an amazing series
For what you said about Babby Doll, that book is a "copy" of Room (That book that was turned into a movie and it was even nominated for best picture). but i hope you'll like anyway! 😘
Whoop 300,000!!! I've been at a slow pace with my reading recently too... but I don't think I'm gonna hit my 50 book goal!!
I feel ya on this. I had no focus in July and now I've started like 10 books and not finished a single one... oops
The Star-Touched Queen is my favorite book right now. Its soo damn good. 😍💚
loveing the hair Sasha!!!!
I've had a reading slump for 2 months now with the same book ughh
