Have you thought about doing a challenge where you try to accumulate 24 hours of reading in as short a time as possible? Like keeping track of how long you’re reading and seeing how many days it takes to add up to twenty-four hours of solid reading time?
I seriously want to try reading for 24 hrs. I've gotten close but sleep always ends up taking over. I'm into about 3 books right now, so it'd be nice to finish them. City of Ashes, The Wicked King, and Skyward.
Saw that you posted and as I was settling in to watch I thought to myself “should I get ice cream?” And I was conflicted (kinda). Then I though WWRD, she would eat ice cream. So here I am on a 36 degree Australian summer day, eating ice cream and about to start the vlog!
One of the things that stopped me from enjoying Renegades as much as I wanted to was that I found it really predictable. The major plot twist at the end didn't surprise me at all which was a huge bummer. Also, Archenemies really dives into the politics more than Renegades so I think you will enjoy it more if you choose to continue with the series.
I’m so excited to hear your thoughts throughout the Keeper series. Each book gets more complex, the plot grows, the characters develop more. It’s such a great series and I hope you continue to enjoy them!
Keeper of the Lost Cities is one of my top ten must-reads of 2019, I'm even more excited for it knowing you enjoyed it. That coffee shop is amazing! I don't know if I could ever live in such a big city but, the bookstores and coffee shops could almost convince me.
I started Keeper to the Lost Cities because of you and I really enjoyed it. I am hoping to continue the series too! Hearing your review on the second book has made me even more eager to read it.
Ragen: any chance for a Matilda Peruse Project merchandise sticker? I’d totally buy! You rock! I was so glad to see a blog post was wanting a new video.
i need reading friends cause anytime i try to do a reading marathon my husband throws a wrench in it by wanting to do a million things and non stop talking oh well
Just found your channel putting down so many of the titles on my to read list. Can't wait to get my hands on them. Was it just me or did anyone else think this was going to be literally 24 hours of (nonstop, barring toilet and feeding breaks) reading haha.. makes me wanna try this myself
I picked up the first keepers of the lost cities thanks to you and boy am I glad I did it! I loved it! Had to go ahead and buy the second one ❤️ thank you so much for recommending such good books and as always love your videos!!
12:45 I find that a lot of people underestimate middle grade like this so I feel that it goes in appreciated. But I love MG, always have, and always will. 13:29 This is exactly how I feel.
loved this vlog! I think you have such wonderful insight on whatever you read, and love that you're always transparent about your feelings whether you like what you're reading or not! ALSO: Can you share what espresso machine you used to make your latte?! I MUST HAVE THAT IN MY LIFE 😻
Now this is dedication. Also, just finished Truly Devious and could not be more excited for the second one (saw it in your most anticipated!!) ahhhhh it was so good
wooooow you're getting me soooo excited.. I'm reading 10-30 pages per day but what you did inspires me to read more and finish my booklist :D Greetings from Cairo
I would love to get into Brandon Sanderson! I have absolutely NO CLUE where to start though! Could you maybe give us a guide? :) Which book should I read first?
I personally read the first Mistborn to get into his series! It’s very well done. But Brandon, ever self-aware, has this on his blog as a suggestion: “If you don’t typically read fantasy, try Steelheart or Elantris. If you consider yourself a fantasy reader, try Mistborn: the Final Empire or The Way of Kings. If you like romance, try Warbreaker. If you’re a younger reader or want something humorous and lighthearted, try Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. If you’re looking something that will appeal to young adults, try Steelheart, Mistborn, or The Rithmatist.”
Thank you! I feel the exact same about Renegades. It seems like everyone just raaaaves about this book and I just thought it was okay? I mean, it was... good. But it was a pretty average superhero story overall and I definitely think it’s a bit overhyped for what it is.

I felt the same way about Renegades! I thought it was predictable and a little too much character-driven for a book about superheroes. I've heard that Archenemies (the sequel) dives more into the politics of the world so hopefully I'll enjoy it more than Renegades. The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorite series so I was a bit disappointed by Renegades.
Amélie Boucher To be fair, The Lunar Chronicles were purposefully predictable because that is simply the nature of fairy tales. She might have had trouble switching gears from writing books were she expected readers to practically know the plots. That’s disappointing to hear though, because I was looking forward to reading Renegades after just finishing and enjoying The Lunar Chronicles.
I totally agree with you about renegades! It was a fun concept, but I felt like it could have gone so much further in the plot. I just wanted a little more depth and didn’t stand out to me.
Don’t worry I feel you, my last read of 2018 was Kingdom of Ash and I read my first book of the year and was not impressed, not the books fault though, lol 🤣
I really want to do my own 24hour read-a-ton but I can't seem to find a weekend when I don't have social things planned. Also, how can you forego sleep? What's the secret?
Hey Regan, I'm currently making my way through the Skulduggery Pleasant series and I have a feeling you would really like it! It's a magical middle grade series, and I think right now there's 11 books out? I know I own 9, and I'm pretty sure there's at least two more😁
I just finished The Wise Man's Fear and now I'm so sad because I have to wait who knows how long for the next part and I'm having that feeling you get when you finish a series and don't know what to do with your life 😐
Archenemies really amped up the stakes and political conversation. Nova, especially, had a lot of internal conflict because of the situation she’s in and what she’s being exposed to. I highly recommend it. It definitely was better than book 1
I would suck at this, I have such a short attention span I can probably only read a chapter or two before I can't sit still. I have to take mess to help me in the morning so I can do my school work.
i’m so happy your enjoying KOTLC! I love them so much and hope you love them as you get further in the series, my personal keeper OTP is team-foster-keefe.

Zelda Estelle that’s such a good idea!
There is a readathon called 24in48 where they do that kind of thing. It runs regularly - I'm thinking of doing it in Jan :)
@@paperback_cat I was considering that one as well- on the 26th and 27th I think
@@paperback_cat That's such a cool idea! I am so overwhelmed with reading for that long and not sleeping so I like the 24in48 much better!
That's genius!!!!
You should so us how to make your latte
Girl!!! 900+ pages?! #notallsuperheroswearcapes
I wish I could do a 24 hour of reading but Sadly my body is a old lady on the in side and 8 pm is my bed time lol
I seriously want to try reading for 24 hrs. I've gotten close but sleep always ends up taking over. I'm into about 3 books right now, so it'd be nice to finish them. City of Ashes, The Wicked King, and Skyward.
CITY OF ASHES!!! I am rereading the Mortal Instruments right now so that makes me v happy
your reading vlogs are always my favorite! they always make me feel so motivated to read!

Did you ever finish reading Salt to the Sea? I loved it and am v excited to hear your thoughts on it haha
I was having a horrible day n this made me feel so much better
Can you please do like an accessories video?? You could show off your earrings, hair scarves, glasses, bags, etc. I just love so many of your pieces.
Never stop posting reading vlogs 😭 they are my favorite 😍

The Dairy of a Bookaholic same here!!! my boyfriend is not a reader, he doesn't understand LOL!
Lol I would fall asleep within the first hour if I ever tried this 😂
Do you read with any music on?
I get sleepy reading too, but I found like 2-10 hour videos for reading on TH-cam and they've been fantastic!!
Just found your channel putting down so many of the titles on my to read list. Can't wait to get my hands on them. Was it just me or did anyone else think this was going to be literally 24 hours of (nonstop, barring toilet and feeding breaks) reading haha.. makes me wanna try this myself
I picked up the first keepers of the lost cities thanks to you and boy am I glad I did it! I loved it! Had to go ahead and buy the second one ❤️ thank you so much for recommending such good books and as always love your videos!!
I’ve been binge watching your reading vlogs over the past few days so I was so excited to see a new one!
12:45 I find that a lot of people underestimate middle grade like this so I feel that it goes in appreciated. But I love MG, always have, and always will. 13:29 This is exactly how I feel.
Omg I ADORED renegades!!! And archenemies was amazing too!! I read both of them in like 3 days😭😂
I was just thinking, I feel like watching another Reagan reading Vlog! And came on here and BAM! Reading Vlog. You’re amazing 😸
your vlogs always motivates me to read, and I totally needed this because reading slump is hitting me!
I enjoy your videos so much!! Definitely my favorite booktuber, i trust your opinion so much!!
You're adorable when you're sleepy! 😄
Also, I love that medium grey sweater! 😍
I went out and bought Keeper of the Lost Cities bc you really made it sound amazing!
It's great! I hope you'll enjoy it!!
It really is AMAZING. Quite possibly my favorite middle grade series of all time - excluding HP, of course. You’ll love it!
@@Sophie-zq3zj Totally approve!! (Percy Jackson might equal KOTLC, though)
Ah these videos always inspire me to read more 😍
So excited that keepers of the lost cities is awesome cause my book.1 is on the waaaay
i just love seeing matilda in these vlogs so much
I really love this vlogs! After my tests I am going to try to read more on weekends!
loved this vlog! I think you have such wonderful insight on whatever you read, and love that you're always transparent about your feelings whether you like what you're reading or not! ALSO: Can you share what espresso machine you used to make your latte?! I MUST HAVE THAT IN MY LIFE 😻
I just got the same expresso machine! Was wondering what your favorite ratio of milk, coffee, and syrup is?
A 24-hour readathon with Regan? Hells yeah! 💙💙
I love your blogs. I will be sure to pick up the middle grade series. I see they have them on audible. Thank you for the book suggestion.
Now this is dedication. Also, just finished Truly Devious and could not be more excited for the second one (saw it in your most anticipated!!) ahhhhh it was so good
I love your reading vlogs with all my soul
Omg I just realized Renegades was also my first book. I have similar thoughts as you. I wanted it to be more, but it was still entertaining.
Hi Regan. I love/live for your vlogs. 🥰 can you perhaps do a Brandon Sanderson starter video? To recommend what to start with etc?
I felt exactly the same about Renegades. I'll probably read the next one but I'm not overly excited
wooooow you're getting me soooo excited.. I'm reading 10-30 pages per day but what you did inspires me to read more and finish my booklist :D Greetings from Cairo
"It's really bright out! Kkkeee!" Haha, you reminded me of a little vampire. 😂 Love this Regan! So proud of all the reading you accomplished! 💕
I love your vlogs!!! Now I am motivated for a 24 hour readathon as well!! Hahaha!!!
That's a huge achievement - congrats! Although I did miss that there was no customary day after wrap up 😂
I watch this as I’m nearly falling asleep while I’m sipping away at coffee at 10pm. I wish coffee worked as well with me 😂. Love your reading vlogs!
Our girl giving us what we want and need 👏🏻
Well done that’s incredible!!!!
In your next vlog will you please show us how you make your lattes?? Lol I am very intrigued 😂
Finally i really love your reading vlogs 😍
Lovely Greetings from Germany 🙂🇩🇪🇩🇪
I very enjoy every Vlog and Video with you 🤩😉🎉
I was waiting for you to be shocked by the ending of Renegades! I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t like it more.
I love your reading vlogs!! I have never read for 24 hours and I want to try it sometime!
I would love to get into Brandon Sanderson! I have absolutely NO CLUE where to start though! Could you maybe give us a guide? :) Which book should I read first?

I started with skyward this month an immediately went to Steelheart! I do really like fantasy books!
Your reading vlogs are my faaaave
Awesome job! I would also love to know where you that bracelet seen at 17:36 please, it is so cute!

I love your glasses! All of them (from others reading vlogs)❤
How many do you have? And where did you get them?📚❤
Since I have 2 pugs of my own, I request a bit more of Matilda 😂👏 you are amazing for choosing to do such a huge tbr for 24hrs!!!
is that Kayley Hyde? I used to know her a long time ago! So weird!
Love your reading vlogs as always!
Your reading vlogs are my favorite!
Don’t worry I feel you, my last read of 2018 was Kingdom of Ash and I read my first book of the year and was not impressed, not the books fault though, lol 🤣

Hey Regan, I'm currently making my way through the Skulduggery Pleasant series and I have a feeling you would really like it! It's a magical middle grade series, and I think right now there's 11 books out? I know I own 9, and I'm pretty sure there's at least two more😁
I love your reading vlogs so much, they bring me life
Where did you get your water bottle from?! 😍
Ban.do!! Love them
OMG ! This is exactly what I needed !
One day I’m going to try this!
Matilda in the background!! Awww!!! 😍❤
Have you ever read Gregor the Overlander? I feel like that’s another middle grade series you would love! 😜
I just finished The Wise Man's Fear and now I'm so sad because I have to wait who knows how long for the next part and I'm having that feeling you get when you finish a series and don't know what to do with your life 😐
I completely relate with being a grandma. If I’m up after 11, that’s super late 😂😅
Archenemies really amped up the stakes and political conversation. Nova, especially, had a lot of internal conflict because of the situation she’s in and what she’s being exposed to. I highly recommend it. It definitely was better than book 1
that sweater at the end of the vlog is SOOOO cute! where did you get it?
I love keepers of lost cities :D
Who's your favorite character from KOTLC? Mine is definitely Keefe.
Sureena Lakhanpal agree!
SAMEEEE
I want to try this one day 💕
where did you get that sweater you're wearing on the second morning? it's so cute!
Well done!!!!!😄
Wow! You really are trying to read the entire series.
Where are your wire frame glasses from?? They're so cute!
We are blessed!
Def did not finish that book last night... lol
I might try this, I have a week off so why not haha
omg I live for your reading vlogs! 💖
bookshelf tour please!
I would suck at this, I have such a short attention span I can probably only read a chapter or two before I can't sit still. I have to take mess to help me in the morning so I can do my school work.

You are so so adorable 😊💕
i want to do a 24 hour readathon so bad but i never have the time to do it.
I want to see how you make the latte 😋 lol
YOU HAVE A PUG!!!!!!!!
WHERE did you get your keepers of the lost cities set?!! Is it a hardback set?!
Yes and target!
I really like keeper of the lost Cities
