This was such an interesting challenge! It was cool to see you try to read for an hour right in the am. 🤔 Did you find that reading in the morning gave you energy for the rest of the day? Do you think you'll continue reading right when you wake up?

Definitely gave me more energy! I think i'll try to do it more often in the mornings for sure. Thank you for watching! :)

Hey Mina maybe you should check out mafia romances such as Dom by S.J. Tilly (Alliance series), Brutal Prince by Sophie Lark (Brutal Birthright series), Dark Verse series by Runyx, The Made trilogy by Danielle Lori, Sinners Anonymous Trilogy by Somme Sketcher and Perfect Imperfect Series by Neva Altaj. These books are light to read as dark romance beginner level and of course, check trigger warnings before proceed to read (just kinda have to reminded of what's the book is all about) so happy reading ❤📚

Would it be easier to start the 24 hour reading challenge early in the morning? That way you haven't already stayed up a full day before you try to do it. Just an idea to help you potentially enjoy them more. Either way, I enjoyed listening. :)

Also Lights Out by Navessa Allen comes out on August 6th (I read the arc and I LOVED THIS). Edit: also also I highly recommend there is no devil and there are no saints duology

I bought an e-reader with the purpose of reading "for fun" books (books I am curious about but could not be mind blowing or worth annotating) and I must say it's working! I was also curious to know if my reading speed would differ but I can't compare because the page count is off :( I can't imagine reading from a tablet or a computer/smartphone screen for multiple hrs a day tho... that would have defeat me rather than convince me!!! The main difference between a tablet/ipad and an e-reader is that with the second one you don t kill your eyes fixing the screen :)

I'd get a kindle just for how good the screen is. I have one and the convenience of it is just unmatched, being able to read multiple books at once while saving space and money is amazing. Also the screen!!! It's just so good and it feels like reading on paper. If you're not sure which one to get, I'd reccomend the kindle paperwhite or the kindle basic if you want to save some money.
