Very refreshing to find a Christian booktuber who reads all the different genres! I read the Bible in a year in 2024 using The Bible Recap by Tara Leigh Cobble. But also read 75 books of varying genres. I appreciate you for sharing that part of your life! And I’m going to definitely check out your nonfiction recommendations! You must read Throne of glass! 🎉🎉🎉

Last year I made it to 50 books but this year I've put it down to 40 because I want to take time to read more theology books and I know those take more time for me to read.

I definitely relate to a lot of this!!! I took a pretty much big break from KZbin this past year and I was able to separate myself from the numbers game, but I feel ready to be creative and start making content again!! Sometimes giving yourself the break helps you come back better 💖 the kindle is such a game changer as well, I feel like because I have access to almost any book digitally it really allows me to have a curated physical book collection!!

I’m looking forward to wrap up videos! How I’m able to write my book reviews easier is to write down my thoughts throughout reading a book and then writing down a few things right after I finish reading a book :)

My reading goal this year for the last few years has been 30. It’s manageable number for my season in life and I don’t put any pressure on myself to reach…it’s just there.😂 I love Happy Planner! I have so many of their planners and themed sticker packs! They truly make it easy to be creative and aesthetic when planning.😀

12 is my book goal this year... It's just perfect amount of time spread and dedicated to the "best of the best" from my TBR... Last year I got the feeling that I rush reading from one book to another just to keep up which is totally not how I imagine "enjoying books"... That practice took away the best feeling of it all, and that is to take time after finishing a story, think about it a bit more and really reflect on it (and on myself) did I truely like it or not, is that subgenre for me, do I like the vibes it left on me, etc. Also, I love my Kindle but to be fair - you have to stay real and hold yourself for not spending more money than "needed" just because a lot of books end up on sale for most of the time... It's a huge topic for sure but it's good to stay aware. 🙂

I just got back into reading late last year, actually thanks to you! 😊 I ran across a video around October I think and just fell in love with you and your channel. My goal this year is 25 books. I know I'll probably read more but I don't want to feel over pressured! P.S. love your white chair, may I ask where you got it from?? I'm looking for another office chair! 😊

I'd love to read 30 books this year! I am a very slow reader, but I have so many books on my Goodreads that it's really overwhelming. I'm following along the Magical Readathon, and gamifying my TBR might just be what I need to accomplish that! I read 20 last year, so I definitely think it's doable!

I am very much a planner when it comes to reading. I make these big TBRs, and then I get frustrated with myself when I don't want to stick with them.
