Hello friends! Today I bring you an exciting video - a " Books Im Reading in January 2024 " !! But not only that, I am also creating for the very first time, my TBR Jar! I have a lot of physical books that I have not gotten to over the past years and this year I really wish to focus on reading books from my physical TBR. I wanted to start of January by creating my TBR jar and picking from there, the books I will be reading in January! Last autumn I got the cuttest little jar that I dont know what to put in it and then I had the brilliant idea to make that my TBR jar. So if you want to see the embarassing amount of unread books I own, create my TBR jar and pick my January books I am reading then I hope you can tune in and enjoy this video! xoxo Kim
A book challenge I really like is allisonpaiges’s Bloomin’ Readathon in November. Last year, I made all my books for that bingo board books that were on my physical tbr and it helped me work through my collection!
@@MicahRion ooh thank you for that suggestion! I am going to have to check that out! Having creative and fun ways to get through my physical TBR will make this process more enjoyable and not much of a “drag” thank you for that suggestion, I am making a note of that! ☺️🫶🏼
Hello.. I'm new here.. not to Booktube (I actually just ended my Booktube journey) but new to your channel.. you came up on my feed so I thought I would check you out.. I love TBR videos they are hands down my favorite videos to watch.. nice to meet you.
Hi! 👋🏼 So nice to meet you! I am sorry to see you leave booktube but also excited for you for honoring something that I assume is what felt right for you to do. I am grateful that the algorithm is pushing my videos! I love doing TBR videos! It’s always exciting to share what I am planning to read. ☺️ I hope that you find comfort and community here on my chanel! Thank you for watching & for taking the time to comment. I appreciate you! 🫶🏼
The Nevermoor series is SO good! Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries was one of my favorite books last year. I read Like Water For Chocolate years ago and couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. The Girl Who Drank the Moon is so magical. I'm currently reading Bookshops and Bonedust and listening to Winterhouse and enjoying them both so far.
I have never been more excited to read a series than I am with the Nevermoore series! My inner child is so excited! So happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed so many of the books I’ve mentioned on here! We have similar book interests! ☺️🫶🏼
I was so nervous to see how many actual unread books I had lol but now I can hold myself accountable with my TBR jar and actually dedicate to reading my physical TBR this year! Thank you for watching, Johana! ☺️🫶🏼
I always get TBR inspiration from you! I loved Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries and I'm really looking forward to reading the sequel. My goal for this year is to read at least 30 books and with all of your recommendations I'm sure I will be able to get through it.
So happy to hear that I offer some TBR inspiration for someone out there! ☺️ I read about 30% of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Fairies last year and I do remember loving it but then LIFE happened as it usually sometimes does.. lol and I forgot about it but I do have it on my TBR to finish it this year! I think 30 books is a great number. I think I read about 30 books last year also but I am giving myself the challenge to read 40 books this year. It’s a very loosely “half committed” goal lol 😅
I'm doing a TBR game this year where I'm randomly selecting a prompt rather than a specific book, so it's a little structured and fun but also gives me leeway to choose a book that fits the prompt and that I'm also excited about. Like, a prompt I picked for January was, "one of the five oldest books on my digital TBR."
Wow!! I love that! I should have done that 🙄 I am a little worried that whatever I pick from my jar it’s not something I’m into at the moment lol if the structure I have now doesn’t work then I’m definitely switching to your structure! Thank you for mentioning that! ☺️🫶🏼
Yesss! It’s actually giving me that vibe! So sad that they canceled the show! I’ve heard great things about Julia Alvarez ‘s books! Really happy that this one came up for my January reads! Their other book, “In the Time of Butterflies” is another one I’ve heard great things about! It’s a historical fiction novel ☺️
I have this same goal. I think I have around 40-50 unread books on my shelves and I don't know why I spent so much money on books I just let sit on my shelf! Slowing down my book buying this year.
After doing this video it really put things into perspective! Definitely slowing down my book buying this year until I’ve read more of my physical books. Then again, I’ve heard folks say that buying books is one hobby and reading them is another 😅😂 hahaha I think I took that to the heart too much lol
@@itskimberlyrodriguezlol I did too!! Especially with all the special editions constantly being pumped out. I had to tell myself I don't need 3 versions of the same story. I need more money in savings instead! It's hard to resist though.
Where have you been??? The TH-cam Gods have been hiding you from me! 😫 The Latine reads on your shelves have me in a chokehold. As a Latina I am *always* looking for more books with representation. All the ones on your shelves that you mentioned I quickly flipped to Goodreads to add them. Definitely will stay and keep an eye out for more videos!
I’ve been here all along! 🙋🏻♀️ You Tube is now finally pushing my videos out! My culture is so important to me and I definitely strive to make sure what I’m reading reflects that! There are so many talented Latine writers that deserve the spotlight and I love to highlight them! So happy you came across my channel! Looking forward to seeing you here! Thank you for watching, new friend! ☺️🫶🏼
I have a lot of videos for my TH-cam but as I am also a medical secretary in a big hospital rather than author I do not have time for my channel, I don't know where I will have time to do, my head is full of ideas
I’ve also struggled with balancing my You Tube with other projects in my personal life. I’ve gone through a flux of 9-5 jobs and tried my best to also dedicate time to my TH-cam. What has helped me lately is to try and make a schedule and pre plan videos ahead that I am interested in creating. I find that when I am busy working my 9-5, having pre planned content makes it easier to just set a date to sit down, film it and eventually edit it. Being strategic with my time has really helped me create videos. I highly recommend to start with a list, something that is feasible as well for your schedule and start from there. Once you get in a sort of rhythm it starts becoming a little easier to balance work, TH-cam & personal time. Hope that helps and best of luck friend! 🫶🏼
@@itskimberlyrodriguez Yes you are totally right but my also problems that I don't have right tools and lighting, I film with my old Nokia phone which is good for now, I know maybe it will not give me the results that I need but I started to fulfill my dream to be a booktube content creator, some day when our economic crises that faces all the world, I will save some money for this big dream project. Thank for being honest and advising, I will try to maintain it.
@@megreads9 I believe in you friend! I currently film on my iPhone because the Sony camera I have has been not filming great for the past few months. I don’t always have the best lighting but I think that those who come across our videos are more likely to stay because they relate to us the individual rather than how good things are filmed. I think being your authentic self in videos even if you lack all the tools, is what people who watch these videos really care about 🫶🏼 hoping you can find the time to be able to film, would love to watch your videos! Don’t give up hope ♥️☺️

@@itskimberlyrodriguez I was inspired by Ruby Read's channel and her Tic-Tac-TBR! It's a great series.
omg the first books reminds me of the Gordita Chronicles on HBO Max :( might have to pick up since they stopped the show
Yesss! It’s actually giving me that vibe! So sad that they canceled the show! I’ve heard great things about Julia Alvarez ‘s books! Really happy that this one came up for my January reads! Their other book, “In the Time of Butterflies” is another one I’ve heard great things about! It’s a historical fiction novel ☺️
