Every day you upload a new video is my favourite day of the week. Looooove your videos/challenges!! Please, keep doing them 😊

[@libraryunbounded]

Oh, Laura! This is such a lovely thing to read! ❤️ You made me smile on a rather tough day, so thank you so much! 🌸

[@starlasell5698]

The wheel treated you well. I'm glad you enjoyed the reads for the most part. You definitely have beautiful views to enjoy from your home! Great tips for everyone wanting to try the challenge. ❤📚❤️

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Starla! Your comments always make my day! ❤️❤️📚

[@starlasell5698]

@@libraryunbounded Awww, I'm so glad. 🤗

[@Kornelia_Nela06]

The beginning 😂 Your cats definitely want to be the stars of the show. I'm glad you managed to finish so many books on your TBR and above all, you liked most of them. I had no idea that the game "The wolf among us" was based on comic books, I immediately added it to my TBR. „The tainted cup” will be soon released in polish, so I'd like to try it too. Challenges like these are very satisfaing to watch, but I haven't attempted them myself yet. Nevertheless, it would definitely be an interesting experiment and if I implement your advice, I may try it.

[@libraryunbounded]

Oh, believe me, it's not just during videos - these monsters are right in my face every time I even attempt to do something that isn't supposed to involve them. 😅 I am so happy you will get The Tainted Cup in Polish! I think it's fun to add a weird reading challenge every now and then. Makes things a bit more exciting. And trying new things gives you new perspectives and conjures new ideas. 😊✨

[@Evendale12]

Your videos are so much fun to watch, you're definitely one of my favorite BookTubers! 😊❤ I've read The Tainted Cup and I agree with you -- it's so good, but the ending is a bit anti-climactic. I really loved the dynamic between Din and Ana though, so I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@libraryunbounded]

Oh, absolutely! They click so well, it's a great contrast between them. Thank you so much for the lovely words! They mean a lot to me! ❤️

[@inkyfairydesigns]

I loved this - you made it very entertaining and I loved that you let the wheel choose your reads. I definitely want to try this even after your warnings. LOL

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much, Carisa! 💖 You should definitely try it, if it appeals to you. It is a lot of fun, especially in the beginning :)

"I'm in the habit of responding to my friends anyway." 😆

[@libraryunbounded]

Well... I am notorious for forgetting to reply to people (which reminds me I have to respond to you 😅) 🤷‍♀️

[@BasicallyNeda]

Great video. Kudos to you for doing a 24 hour reading challenge!👏I would fall sleep after the first book. 😊I'm waiting for my hold on The Tainted Cup to come in, and excited to read. Everyone is saying good things about on BookTube. Also, I enjoy your cat's mischiefs😉

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you, Neda! ❤️ It's not for everyone, I suppose. But this was also an outlier for me. I usually take breaks between books. I do hope you get to read The Tainted Cup soon :) Yes, the cats are a lot of fun (especially if you don't have to clean after them 😅)

[@justynajusty]

I've been trying to see if I can do a 48 hours of reading but adult responsibilities take over 😂 You did amazing! 🎉 I did manage to finish The Licanius Trilogy! I really enjoyed it.

[@libraryunbounded]

It's rarely possible to avoid said responsibilities indeed. I am rather fortunate in that aspect (and rather unfortunate in others). Thank you for the kind words, Justina ❤️ I am so happy to hear that! I am now looking forward to reading it even more.

[@honorata3423]

My reading this month is terrible. I am having back problems and sitting is killing me, walking hurts so not much reading is done 🫣 Still hope to finish my LOTR tbr, it's only 6 books, but it sounds like a challenge. Loving the vlog 🖤🖤

[@libraryunbounded]

Oh, I am so sorry to read this 😢 I do hope the back issues got better and you aren't suffering anymore. Please take care and don't worry about reading - it will still be there whenever you can appreciate it. 🤗

[@honorata3423]

@@libraryunbounded surprisingly it still lasts 🙈 but it's way less painful now, so that's good. Audiobooks are saving my sanity right now haha

[@writtenbyash]

Oh, I'm so happy you enjoyed Legends in Exile and plan to continue on with the Fables series! I love the artwork as well, especially how detailed it is; all of the characters' personalities shine through their facial expressions and body movements in the panels. And the series itself really does have some dark moments, even some horror elements here and there. So be prepared for some surprises along the way. It's not your average fairytale retelling...😉 I also thought you might enjoy Persuasion better than Mansfield. That's awesome! Which Austen novels do you have left to read? My favorite is Sense and Sensibility, but Pride and Prejudice is a close second. ☺ Love the editing and how the songs match up with the theme of each book in this. Great job! 🎶📖

[@libraryunbounded]

I think from Jane Austen's full length novels I only have Lady Susan remaining. But I haven't read any of her poetry or shorter fiction. I am considering giving those a try as well. Which ones of hers do you have remaining? Thank you so much for the kind words! It's nice to see my efforts appreciated! ❤️

[@writtenbyash]

@@libraryunbounded Same here! I've read all of her full length novels except Lady Susan and her shorter works. If you want, we can do a buddy read of Lady Susan together sometime. (That's what it's called, right-a buddy read? I've never done one before...So I don't really know how to go about it.😆) Just let me know whenever you're available to if you're interested. May I add you as a friend on Goodreads? And no problem! Good work deserves praise! 🌟 I'm obsessed with music, so I tend to notice things like that. 🎵 🎧

[@natrosereads]

I am months behind (😬), but I was also holding my breath to see the reaction to Legends in Exile/Fables. That series is so near and dear to my heart, so I was thrilled to see a positive reaction (and find another fan in the comments!).

[@writtenbyash]

@@natrosereads Yes, I've been obsessing over Fables; it's my first time reading it (and I'm only halfway through the series), but I've been really enjoying it so far. It has all of the elements that I love: fantasy, dark twists, and complex characters! I recently read Vol. 9: Sons of Empire and Vol. 10: The Good Prince, and they were so good. I love the progression of the plot and the character development, especially in The Good Prince, and I hope the series gets even better. So it's good to see another fan as well! Which volumes are your favorites?

[@natrosereads]

@@writtenbyash I read the series between July 2017 and April 2018 (finished Vol. 21 in November 2017 and then just held off on the last volume until April 2018 because I didn't want it to end 😭😂), so I'm definitely due for a re-read. I read through all the first time around as library books but have since bought the whole series, including the Encyclopedia, Covers, and spin-offs. I loved so many of these - Vol. 8: Wolves (my heart beats for Bigby ha!), Vol. 10: The Good Prince, and Vol. 12: The Dark Ages are a few favorites. But the one that always REALLY stood out for me was Vol. 18: Cubs in Toyland. That was a complete jaw-dropper and left me emotionally wrecked. I hope you continue to love the series. There are some volumes that are better/worse than others, but it's so fantastic overall. ❤❤

[@smithjssfrk]

I love your videos! 🌻🌵

[@libraryunbounded]

Oh, thank you so much, Marsha! It makes me really happy to read this! ❤️🌸

[@cressidaclarence7420]

This was fun to watch! I wonder if it would be a better experiment (and I use better to mean better for mental health) to try something like "36hrs of reading in a week"?

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much! ❤️ And yes, I think it absolutely would be better. I might even try it one day. The one things that usually prevents me from filming vlogs that span more than 2 days is that I am just terrible with keeping up steady vlogging going on for any period of time. I get distracted very easilly and forget to film for days... Nevertheless, I think it is a much better idea, as a whole to create a challenge that doesn't require you to spend all your waking hours reading, because it will allow for variety and won't turn you off of reading. 📚✨

[@bibi6911]

what a legend!!! i loved that challenge and my admiration for finishing it. Also what have u done to your skin as it looked flawless in last few videos. Miss u

[@libraryunbounded]

Thank you so much for this sweet comment, Bibi! First of all, I miss you too and CALL ME - I am waiting 😂💖 Then, about the skin - I simply started finally using the skin care products I've been hoarding for ages 😅 Oh, I drink 3 litres of water every day. It sucks at first, but you quickly get used to it. 🐳
