[@scarlettortega9453]

5 years later and I'm still watching these! Hope you're doing well:)

[@molie7712]

SAME I miss her

[@ShadowLarkHill]

Same here. She’s from the OG book tube crew and no hate to the current book tubers but I feel nowadays reading is measured with statics, stars, and views. Contrary to what Zoe, Jessie, Kass, Katrina and many others did which was just reading and talking about it. I just miss this book tube era 😂

[@jeaicbreathnach1724]

​@@ShadowLarkHill same ! Do you know where zoe went?

[@BFFefyy]

SAME 🙌🏼

[@marisjuwono1996]

same, these are so comforting to me

[@spaceesong]

i’ve rewatched all of zoe’s 24 hour readathon countless of times, i hope she’s doin well

[@Jay-fj9eq]

[@batsy1017]

Wakei same

[@peachairee]

Wakei omg same!

[@luca5818]

same in my language xD

[@madi.5017]

It's funny when Zoe talks about staying up til 4AM reading like it's crazy when in the future we all know she stays up the full 24hrs.

[@shhdhshshhdgshsg875]

Wanna be friends?😂

[@user-lh4kr1zt8j]

Shhdhshs Hhdgshsg wt- like online friends?lol

[@shhdhshshhdgshsg875]

BookishReader yeah

[@user-lh4kr1zt8j]

Sure how old?

[@shhdhshshhdgshsg875]

15 What about you?

[@dafutureempress]

I missed your personality so decided to rewatch your 24 hour reading vlogs 🥰 I hope you’re doing good! 🥺❤️

[@milooy99]

And she became a readathon icon... miss you Zoë

[@lucasdrysdale7846]

Zoe your family seems so nice wtf can your dad adopt me?

[@VolleyPuppy91]

Right?! I wish my dad was this fun, my dad is a grumpy old man who watches Football xD But my mom is fun and likes to read so I am grateful!

[@stephpiano2908]

They're actual family goals omg

[@mormongirl06]

NovelPaws my dad was a grumpy guy the only the time he was very happy was when he went to old classic car shows and I would go with him.

[@addy5329]

Dude I was your 1000 like! That is so satisfying

[@amylx1607]

I'm really jealous of you people who actually get energy from coffee... I'm only having it for the taste because I get 0 energy. Anyway, it's so inspiring to see you so dedicated to this challenge. I usually lose my focus and will after 300 pages.

[@emilwoolf]

Me too! I weirdly don't get energy from caffeine, if anything it makes me more sleepy, I just like how it tastes.

[@maracortes2190]

Calina Lx I'm the same way. But Ice coffee makes me energetic!

[@millygoose3131]

Calina Lx sometimes I get through one "layout" and feel meh and then once I read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince over one week in Disney

[@GummyDinosaursify]

If you drink it a lot or you drank a lot of soda growing up, you probably have an immunity to caffeine.

[@Desi-ub7hq]

That is actually a gene where you are unresponsive to coffee

[@ketsiamayenne8844]

Zoe : I don't know why I still have my headphones on. I'm not listenning to anything Me : I feel you, that happens to me all the time

[@Alittlebitofeverything29]

Ketsia Mayenne I do that especially in school so people don't talk to me 😂😂

[@car5522]

I do that too.. >

[@Jaspergers]

Ketsia Mayenne same

[@anisaafsar1422]

Same with me. I'm listening to audio book, then my sister starts talking to me. I pause audio book and forget about it for like 20 minutes while headphones are still in my ears. Then finally my sister asks if I'm listening to her and I'm like 'Um yh and then I realise I still have my earphones in and just take them out. Forgetful me.

[@abookutopia]

YAAAS ZOEEEEE

[@bethsilvestri4174]

[@iwillstealurcookies9595]

[@lexievans4787]

Is it just me, or when I don’t feel like reading I go on Booktube and watch people’s reading recs.

[@Jaspergers]

Lexi Evans I do it too 😂

[@Jaspergers]

Lexi Evans and then it makes me want to read again.

[@sterrevanslooten4732]

@Belle lin same!!!

[@beartackle]

Sometimes I use these videos to motivate me to read sometimes.

[@lizzlocke3130]

YES! it works 100% of the time!

[@isabellakrunitzky7898]

i just realized. may 2 is my birthday. she spent my whole birthday reading... Edit: Yes i like my own comment.. like anyone else would

[@klarajones441]

The one in July is my roommate's birthday.

[@Lea2009]

Trust me, as someone who worked at taco bell, that is the least complicated order ever.

[@readbyzoe]

Ahhh good to know! I always feel guilty not ordering straight from the menu.

[@kelbyfranklin6747]

Lea2009 the orders that suck are the one that order a lot and want you to change everything in their orders. I also hate people who forget what they order and come back to me and complain about it. When I reread their order back to them and they said it was right.

[@harrypotterlover9941]

W

[@jennagrossmann6101]

No joke this is the 5th time I’ve watched this and I’m going on to watch the others again now too

[@stellabyars1406]

I’ve watched all of hers a good 20 times each

[@stellabyars1406]

They get me inspired to read more

[@lly2311]

6 years later and still watching this wonderful videos

[@jamie6202]

All these years later and I still come back to your videos for comfort, joy, and lightheartedness. I hope you're doing so well, and I'm proud of you for choosing yourself over the internet. You are so loved and are such a bright, radiant soul. I hope you are doing something that makes you fulfilled and happy. I hope you are surrounded by loving, thoughtful people. And I hope you're reading some good books, too. 🥰 🤗 Love you forever, Zoe. Keep being awesome.

[@italoleitebezerra]

How can I be part of that family, please? Your dad and sister are the best! lol P.S.: That's probably the best 24 hours readathon that I've ever watched!

[@Dooksterr]

Me brushing my teeth: i could be reading Me eating my breakfast: i could be reading Me listening to a song: i could be reading Me reading: i could be reading,.....faster

[@gabbychiera8816]

"I hate vlogging in public" *dances in front of camera in book store* 😂 For manga recommendations; Pet Shop of Horrors Fruits Basket

[@chandalisros]

Gabby Chiera I love Pandora hearts...there are so many plot twists 😂 I literary don't understand sometimes but it was very good(in my opinion anyway)

[@gabbychiera8816]

Orange [オレンジ] that's cool! I'll have to check that one out!

[@majorodrigueze]

Kagekid01 I just got out of my 6 month reading slump, so... yeah... it was hard...

[@katiebowden1880]

[@makaylaplaysguitar]

This is still one of my favorite reading vlogs. Hope you’re doing well, Zoe ❤️.

[@simplydii3929]

so pretty with or without makeup!:) i always love your videos!:)

[@leathehatless]

I know! I'm like, you actually look like a person without make up. I look like a zombie all the time, no matter how much sleep I get. T-T

[@ilargia_]

Zoe, you look so pretty also without makeup and this little bangs suits you so much. As far as manga recommendations I personally love Pandora Hearts!

[@VenusTemple]

Ilaria Gabrieli Pandora Hearts is so good 😭❤

[@aimee8135]

Anytime I need motivation to read I watch this video 😂I've practically memorized what Zoe says 😂😂💓

[@laurencydni]

"I thought I was a human" Ah, dad jokes. Never get old!

[@bookterror]

this was pretty funny but all I can think about is that you basically took two showers and a bath in 12 hours :D

[@meowcatto6765]

two showers and two baths lol and like 6 cups of coffee :D

[@clairebraeckman2243]

It was very fun to watch your 24h vlog. And your little prank with your sister made me laugh so hard ! You have a really cool sister :) and congrats for making it and reading so much !

[@readbyzoe]

She is cool! The prank was her whole idea 😆

[@kaivanakiri5174]

do you know what did she remind me of? adam parrish. with the eye. i love him. and please feature your sister more in your vlogs!

[@clairebraeckman2243]

I second that !

[@ellareads96]

I can not tell you how many times I’ve watched this video. I love Zoe’s readathons they relax me and help me get out of reading slumps

[@MandyHiHello]

Oh my gosh, this totally makes me want to do a spontaneous 24 hour readathon as well! I don't know why I never have. haha Also, I don't typically enjoy readathon vlogs for some reason, but I loved yours! :)

[@veelahsu420]

Your mugs are sooo cute,love them

[@jojonaslover19]

the reason the saga you picked up was so much money was because it was the special edition of the first volume. just get the individual ones its cheeper

[@cozyembers66]

*Sees the "Lukes" cup and gasps* Me: "I. WANT. THAT. CUP!!!!" *Opens another page on laptop and furiously searches for more cups* (Way too addicted but eh that's okay!) Loved this video!!

[@stephpiano2908]

This was the most adorable video, and it made me so motivated to keep reading and slaying my TBR pile

[@charlottesreadsthings211]

"Are you a wild boar?" "I like bacon" :')

[@lucydeangelis2020]

Charlottesreadsthings I

[@TheonewhereCupcake]

[@claudiaguevara2371]

I come back and watch these whenever I'm in a reading slump and 99.9% of the time they help. Miss the readathon queen🥹

[@raniarizwan9250]

woww every one in ur family reads.. i wish my family was like that.... .. all the do is say novels are waste of money ... i want books 😢😢😢😢😢😔😔 .... and ur verrrryy beautiful 😍

[@carlyrismon630]

rania rizwan save up money and buy books or look for them at thrift stores they are much cheaper there

[@sarag2970]

rania rizwan buy an e reader than you can read as much as you want without your family like you bought another book for a bookcase etc an e reader let’s you read without your family on you. I have a kindle paperwhite my sister has one too my mom wants to read but makes other things like tv more an option

[@jocelynscrafts4037]

Same my mom doesn’t let me buy books even if I have the money so I have one Sheldon my bookshelf full which is half Harry Potter and the other half is my middle school books but then my sister is the one that has 6 shelves full of books very fair mom

[@archanabharti8684]

Same here girl... Same here..🙁

[@catalinafloresv]

no one else on my family reads but at least my dad always congratulates me saying that i’m cultured, i honestly think it’s so cute

[@ellyzaviolante3799]

this showed up in my recommendations 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I THOUGHT SHE CAME BACK UGH,,,, zoe i miss u

[@cherriesandwine882]

the closeness of you and your dad or more like ur whole family is just goals💖💖💖

[@michellesmirnova4471]

I wish I had a Barnes and Noble in Sweden, we don't have Taco Bell either :/

[@karas4009]

Michelle Smirnova same. like barnes and nobles looks like heaven! hahaha. if i had one in my country i would get motivated to save money and buy books. 😂😂

[@lilyturner5840]

Michelle Smirnova Eller hur

[@spaceacekaitlin333]

Barnes and Noble is good, but it's crazy expensive. I usually go there when I have coupons and online sales.

[@ericaruo_]

Michelle Smirnova In Kenya there's no target no Walmart no Barnes and noble no Taco Bell and Burger King just came to Kenya recently and McDonald's is coming soon So practically nothin

[@sofiesieling271]

The only bookstore in my city doesn't sell English books and the Danish/translated are at least 20 dollars for paperback versions and about 50-60 dollars for hardcovers. There are three used bookstore, but I've seen the same books on their shelves for the past year without being bought or any new books, at least in English. I don't like reading translated works because it feels at though I am not reading the author's book but the translator's take on the book. :/

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

Whenever I'm in a slump, I come here. Always end up working 👍. Missing her videos so much

[@portiaedwards4391]

I don't know why but this specific video I find really calming. I listen to it like twice a week and by now I know almost every word by heart.

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

Jan 2020, I rewatch this almost every month for the past 3 years whenever I'm on a slump. I miss you zoe

[@babyyoda3910]

I usually don't like blogs, but this was so enjoyable! Please keep vlogging! (PS I'm so impressed that you read that much!)

Your skin and eyebrows without makeup are amazing I am floored!!!!!!!! I am so impressed by how fast you read. Also in case you didn't know most marshmellows aren't vegetarian xx

[@kendragallant6944]

Please do another one of these videos. I have watched this video like 8-10 times. I don't know why but I love it. Much love

[@oakesgarden4328]

Kendra Gallant I thought I was the only one😂

[@merphynapier42]

I LOVED watching you vlog your reading. If you decide to do more like this I'll for sure watch!

[@LennyGMouse]

this was so fun to watch! I want to do a 24 hour readathon now lol

[@elhood9762]

Ilane G. Me too.

[@whatlookslikeis]

"I'm so awkward vlogging in public so we shall see..." /proceeds to dance in bookshop XD ahaha I love it

[@myahrose8922]

I just recently was introduced to book tube and OH MY HEAVENLY HALLOWS it's so amazing to finally be surrounded by people who aren't constantly saying : 'why are you always READING, do something other than READING' ugh it's great I'm never leaving

[@aznSeddie]

That's awesome that your family reads, esp. when they share what they're reading.

[@quinn855]

I'm so doing something like this next weekend!! I've read a bunch recently, but I want to try spending literally every waking minute reading to see how much I can get trough

[@mers5840]

REWATCHING FOR THE ACTUAL MILLIONTH TIME CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!

[@sweetoldlamb]

I love all your mugs so much! I need them in my life!

[@ath0101]

Your dad is the sweetest!

[@jamieoneal1634]

so idk about packets of vegan hot chocolate but you would always get vegan chocolate and melt it into some almond milk on the stove

[@alisay2147]

watching this while i'm preparing to do a 24 hour readathon :)))) miss u zoe hope ur doing well!

[@beckyybob95]

You family is made of pure sweet gems, your vlogs are so cosy omigosh

[@annavernerova7378]

Thank you so much Zoe for reading Every heart a doorway and bringing to me one of my all time favourite books/series. And also giving me another amazing readathon 😊✨

[@sheridandwyer]

For manga, if you're looking for a good crime drama, Death Note is a wondeful suspenseful choice! A light hearted romantic comedy would be Ouran High School Host Club! If you want a love triangle, with a bit more heavy drama, Fruits Basket was amazing and had a very intresting storyline involving the Chinese Zodiac! What else? Oh! For fantasy with action, although long, Naruto, and Fairy Tail are both wondeful voices in my opinion! I hope I gave you some good suggestions, do tell me what you think, if you get around to reading any of them!

[@SharonVictoria90]

I legit just added your dad on GoodReads. This vlog was so fun! I'm so impressed! Lately I can't even finish 3 books in one month, I can't imagine reading them in a day haha!

[@martynamartyna4147]

My absolute comfort vlogs

[@booksitea]

Your 24 hour readathon videos were the first ones I ever saw and got me excited to try them!

[@thecoltfiles8027]

That was awesome! I'm going to have to give a 24-hour readathon a try one of these days. It looked like so much fun.

[@kyra8138]

This was an awesome video Zoe!! Could you potentially do these sort of vlog type videos more often please?

[@katerinaps99]

[@ThatsNoorvana]

I always rewatch your videos when im going through tough time. They’re very therapeutic to me. We miss you🫂

[@ThinkPill]

Conversation in my head: Me: "Why do I feel like Dancing when I watch readbyzoe ??? " Answered by me : "Because she brings out the best in me 🤓" . . Lots of Love & Kisses to You Zoe 🙂

[@famke5917]

this is like no joke my fifth time binge watching all of your 24 hour readathons lol

[@tell.me.mor.]

AW YOUR DAD IS SO SWEET

[@comfortreadsJess]

Your coffee mug is EVERYTHING!

[@TheEmilyNielsen]

Pu-lease, you're gorgeous without makeup!! (And with makeup)

[@sofiahasty6072]

OMG I FREAKIN LOVE AND THEN THERE WERE NONE ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS WE HAD TO READ IT IN MY ALPS CLASS IT WAS SO GOOD AND IM 12! IT IS SO AMAZING!!! THE SUSPENSE IT SO GOOD!!!!!!!

[@alyssamoyer3782]

[@ashinator1862]

Her readathons are always amazing. Her family is amazing and she is always just soo happy it just makes me happy. I love it.

[@mickey2347]

I’ve been binging your readathons and I love your family so much. I love that your dad reads as much as you, (and I think you once mentioned your dad building your shelves.) I love that in a lot of your videos you go to B&N together. I especially loved seeing the pride flag in your sisters room and nothing being said or explained about it, just the correct title and correct pronouns. I just love your kindness and family in general. I think you make me a more positive person. :)

[@ellabergfeld7899]

i come back to these videos at least once a month

[@stephanyjablonofsky9749]

omg i loved your family!!! they remind me so much of my own!!!! please do more vlog like this!!

[@rumaisaelhakeem3490]

rewatching this masterpiece *chef kiss*

[@madi.5017]

I can't believe how beautiful you are without makeup! ps. You're quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers. You're slowly convincing me to do this challenge.

[@isobelmaguire89]

its so funny that these videos went from 'im going to sleep, obviously' to 'im not plannin on sleeping' :)

[@alexintheabstract]

I just found your channel and I love your personality so much! You're super entertaining to watch and very down to earth.

[@malloreyrogers7987]

Omg your dad is precious!! I love that he loves reading the same things we do ❤️❤️

[@danielaleon6194]

I loved this video! You should make more vlogs ❤️❤️❤️

[@malloreyrogers7987]

"I have friends now" 🤣So cute! That's how I get every time my dog follows me around the house.

[@badazzledhippo6010]

This is probably one of my favorite videos on youtube! I just want to curl up with a cup of coffee and read books whilst listening to the rain! Going to totally do a 24 read a thon this weekend!!

[@valeriamichelle3690]

your readathons are the absolute best! please do more :) I love your channel!

[@rachaelevelyn7387]

For vegan hot chocolate/mocha, just use 100% cocoa! It would be bitter so you would want to add a sweetener (brown sugar, honey etc) and then add a tiny amount of water to it to dissolve and then pour the coffee and milk over that! You could also add cinnamon or vanilla too. If you just wanted straight hot chocolate I am a fan of 1cup milk with 1tbs of cocoa heated over the stove until hot and then add cinnamon and honey to taste - it is delightful and great to study with! :)

[@DarlingDarkness]

You do realize that honey is only vegan if you get a bee free honey substitute, right?! I would recommend agave or maple syrup instead. It isn't healthy, but it's vegan and totally fine to consume as a treat once in a while.

[@rachaelevelyn7387]

DarlingDarkness haha oh gosh, yeah of course! Probably should have worded it differently but I let my own preferences come through as I have a similar issue of struggling to find milk-free hot chocolate because of an intolerance rather than being vegan and that just so happens to be how I sweeten it. I wasn't meaning to imply that I believed honey was vegan - even though it does read that way!

[@DarlingDarkness]

I kinda knew that you were aware that honey isn't vegan, but I just didn't want anyone to read it and prepare the recipe thinking it's vegan. Sometimes we are so focused on one thing (in this case the chocolate powder) that we forget or oversee something else. I am a vegan and the other day I was with a friend and we were talking about politics and I just popped in a piece of candy because I was in the mood for something sweet. And minutes later I stopped and had to check the ingredients because I totally had no idea if it was vegan or not, I was so focused on the discussion with my friend. I was glad to see that the candy indeed was vegan. But yeah... just wanted to make sure that others realized honey isn't vegan.

[@nia_symonne8078]

Who’s watching in 2021?? 💕

[@lilygrant2915]

I really loved this vlog Zoe! And the fact that you updated us on the status of always and forever just made me laugh out loud over how sassy you were! I can't wait for more videos like this :D

[@phuongtrinhpham5599]

Every time I have a book slump, I watch your videos. It's really interesting and motivates me to continue reading. I like your readathon videos the most. Even though there will be many other booktubs on this topic later, I still like watching yours the most. Hope you will return to KZbin soon! Miss you Zoe 😢😢
