VLOG | 24-Hour Read-a-thon and P.O. Box Haul

[@sneakergirl171]

I am from South Florida 😊 and thank you for making this vlog a read-a-thon vlog. I need a reminder of how much I love reading

[@danakatz2175]

Raleigh, NC! 💗

[@sanguivora7593]

From Australia!! ❤️

[@alisonf.haring3411]

I love vlogs so much

[@heathervenkat1414]

Your doggies are so cute!

[@SaraLubratt]

Come to Dallas!

[@tinaeden8466]

Just wanted to write and let you know that I love your videos which I just found this week while I am recovering from surgery. I am also a writer (writing for years and years and planning to self pub in 2018) and your videos are so uplifting and inspiring. The last two years I have gone through so much and considered giving up writing. My surgery interrupted my writing goals again which is frustrating. But your videos remind me of my dreams of connecting and interacting with readers. How fun it is discuss books and writing! Do you thing vlogs are better for connecting with readers than blogging? I am considering blogging my experience with nano this year to connect with others. Thanks again for sharing you knowledge and experience.

I reside near Peoria, IL! A book tour! How exciting!!!💜💛💚💙

[@SalmaAmr95]

You're such a motivation

[@elaineclare2161]

Hi Kristen! New subscriber here, just wanted to say I've been watching your videos for the last couple of weeks and I love them! I'm currently trying to finally finish writing a book and I feel like your videos will keep me on track! Don't normally comment on videos but you can tell you put a lot of effort in with your content etc. I actually like the change of style in this one- love readathons and like to see what other authors like to read! 👍🏻☕️📚 xx

[@jcbaarton]

Exciting I'm from San Diego but moving to Norfolk Virginia! 💜

[@Veronica.Roni.V]

I'm from Alabama. I enjoyed the vlog good to see you enjoying some awesome books. 😊 ❤

[@hilalahmed2335]

Hi from Glasgow, Scotland

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

I've been to Edinburgh once and LOVED IT. I don't know why I haven't been back yet!!

[@tamijxo]

I'm from West Palm Beach,FL. You've inspired me to work on my book and I've used some of your tips to help me as I write! Thank you!!

[@Booksandsunsets]

South Carolina!

[@heathervenkat1414]

I'm in Phoenix, Arizona by the way!

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

My hometown :) :)

[@borkthepig281]

Book tour would be cool. I'm actually in north Dallas

[@missgirlcleo]

G'day Kristen, I'm from Australia. Love your channel.

[@ItsKaylan333]

Hey! I'm over here in Pensacola, Florida!!

[@meredith_jones]

I live in Toronto Ontario. I love your videos!

[@Reneekelley68]

ATL right here!

[@jacintahudson9252]

Ok, first, let me me say how cute that notebook/sticker package was. So pretty. Second... You should totally do a tour! I was thinking just yesterday that maybe I should start saving to go to bookcon in like 3-4years (because that's how long it would probably take me to save enough to head your way on my current budget) because it would be SO GREAT to meet you in person. Haha. I'm in Australia, right down the bottom near Melbourne. Plus (my selfish reasons for wanting you to do a tour aside) how cool would it be to travel and promote your books and everything else you do! Like, you've already published 4 books in less than, what, 3 years (?), created your hustle smarter brand and hit the top of the amazon charts... What else is there for you to do but a tour. Sounds like living the dream to me! Congrats on coming so far already K- I can't wait to see what you do next. :)

[@YurFutureAuthor62]

I'm so excited that you read my letter! So ecstatic you have no idea! Seriously, you help so many people, continue to move mountains! If it wasn't for your advice and insight into this industry I don't think I would be getting so close to publishing my first book. Thank you!

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

♡♡♡♡♡

[@apriltaylor8923]

Oh I love Stalking Jack the Ripper. It has a bit of a steampunk element and a great main character. I am from Midland Tx.

[@fbartolo]

NYC right here.

[@ashleyzakrzewski577]

I have the whole series of hush hush but haven't started them yet!!!

[@CMri]

Hello from Poland. First time on your channel! Really liked this video, subscribing 💕.

[@laurenelizabeth6524]

The House and Sublime by Christina Lauren. They are both some of her YA books, quick reads but perfect for fall imo.

[@Kiyoko0tani]

I'm from Northern California. Closest major city to me is Sacramento, it's about 2 hours away.

[@lillylilium497]

I guess I need to do a read-a-thon with your book. It's next on reading list :D Your videos always make me happy, they have such a positive vibe. Also I've finished my first book not to long ago, thanks to all your helpful videos. I'm from Vienna, Austria btw.

[@DeathKnellPresents]

This was such a cute video! - come to Seattle; I think you'd enjoy speaking in such a fun and colorfully hip place!

[@brir.leclerc5285]

Boston!

[@thebookhub6323]

Ireland 🇮🇪 I got stalking Jack the Ripper recently too, can't wait to get to it 😀

[@PixieLoriana]

I'm from Paris (in the suburbs), France :-) I recently discovered your channel and I really love it ! Your videos are so helpful and motivating and I'm so glad I know your channel !

[@AuthorJenniferNAdams]

We have a Literary Festival here in Little Rock, AR that you should check into!

[@KerriB]

I loved Hush Hush! I would love to do a 24 hour read-a-thon! There's also a 24 hour write-a-thon that I'm going to try to do a couple times during NaNo, probably on Fridays when my schedule allows it. I live near Green Bay, Wisconsin and would love to meet you! I'm loving Shadow Crown so far and it's inspiring me to write more of an idea I had a few months ago about an assassin named Fallon who is sent to assasianate the king, but falls in love with his son. :)

[@juliegramartist9533]

Hello from Denmark :) (Copenhagen)

[@MargheritaMar87]

Ciao from Bologna, Italy!

[@apriltaylor8923]

Anna Dressed In Blood is a good October read.

[@AuthorJessiElliott]

I was so happy to see you reading Hush, Hush! Becca was one of the first authors I've met, and she is the sweetest! Also, Patch is very yummy.

[@bytheBrooke]

I'm from Tulsa, OK but I could make the drive to Dallas if need be. I bet it was nice to relax for a whole weekend after the release of Shadow Crown lol

[@yanettemantro]

Florida 😁

[@shelbycollier3586]

Come to Phoenix, AZ! Authors hardly ever come here and we have to go to California if we want to meet them.

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

That's my hometown :) So you better believe I'll be coming to PHX!

[@hannamelba375]

Please come to the South of France !!!!!!!

[@scullian]

I'm from Finland, and live close to Oulu. You're an amazing and inspirational person and I really hope that I could meet you one day!

[@literaryartist1]

That hand made book looks awesome. Nice. I'm in RI.

[@mariagrecea4368]

Bucharest, Romania, Europe!

[@donnajodeoliveira]

Any chance you could visit South Africa? I'm near Durban.

[@amandasdumky]

You should definitely come to Stockholm or Gothenburg in Sweden (where I live, of course XD) It is so absolutely beautiful here, I think you would really love it. Plus, meeting you would make me so extremely happy!

[@carriebostic7064]

I'm in West Virginia, but in a few years, I'll probably be in Portland, Oregon. :)

[@foxclouds]

That EC box came from me XD I sent you an email and mentioned it in there (briefly) but you probably haven't had a chance to get to it. Hope you enjoy the journal! I got myself an Erin Condren planner and the journal was a freebie and I just fell in love with it! A book tour sounds like an excellent idea! Come to Toronto, Canada ;)

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

Ahh, thank you so much! I love the personalized journal and the stickers :) I've already started using it. So sweet of you!

[@foxclouds]

I am so happy that you liked it! I just wanted to give back a little ;)

[@KellyBeam]

Another Arizonan here. I live in Peoria.

[@michaelsciortino6765]

You should come to Philly :3

[@LEGOPhoenixWarrior]

This vlog actually motivated me to continue my reading. I really appreciate it. Oh, btw can you make a video doing a book review of falling kingdoms and hush hush if you can?

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

I don't do book reviews on my channel, but I do rate books on Goodreads. You can follow my Author Page on Goodreads here:goo.gl/PeKwLu, and then I think there's a way to add me as a friend as well :)

[@carriebostic7064]

I loved Hush, Hush & Staling Jack the Ripper! ♥ You should check out Unwind by Neal Shusterman. OMG creepy and wonderful YA series!

[@cyrka2515]

Hi I'm from Warsaw, Poland!

[@jessicajurcan3525]

Please come to Romania! i would love to meet you!

[@PennyThompson618]

I live in a little town called Alexandria in Ohio. Probably Columbus, Ohio would be the best place. I would recommend the Barnes and Noble in a shopping plaza called Easton. Don't have any book recommendations since I tend to avoid scary books and movies. I even tried to write a scary story once and didn't get past the first couple of paragraphs because I scared myself so badly. LOL!

[@maramiller3741]

I’m near Lexington, KY. There are a couple cute bookstores out there like Joseph Beth you could do a signing at (and good luck not coming out of there without hitting up the cafe or buying a couple books, lol!). I’m not brave enough yet to do signings but I know they’ll work with Indies.

[@shivasheawrites]

You should read Snow Like Ashes, I just started reading it again and it's sooo good!!! And it's probably one of my new favorite books!!!!!! :)

Hi! My sister and I would love for you to come to Germany, Dusseldorf!!

[@HannaGirl955]

I live in Toronto/Vancouver

[@BettinaWinkler]

About the fact that you can't put hush hush down: it's Patch's magic haha. Now you will always think about him when you see a jeep too.

[@ashleyhazelnut1431]

You did inspire me to read more fiction. It has been months since I did, and I am always reading non-fiction. Anyway, I'm a Chinese from Malaysia! :)

[@evanieves6200]

[@BettinaWinkler]

OH MY GOD YOU READ MY LETTER I'M FREAKING OUT AAAAAAAAA 💜💜💜💜

[@jacintahudson9252]

Bettina Winkler i freaked out a little when she read mine too. I was just so glad it got to her safely and she liked it. (I tend to ramble and I'm always wondering how it comes across at the other end).

[@BettinaWinkler]

Jacinta Hudson SAME. I was worried because of my english and my terrible handwriting haha. It's weird because you know it will get to her hands eventually but seen it happen it's crazy but in a cool way, right?

[@jacintahudson9252]

Bettina Winkler It's very cool. I especially likes the time Kristen takes to sit and read and focus on every letter. Makes you feel like you matter, like you're special.

[@jonnymarques7549]

E eu pensando q era o único brasileiro aqui kkkk

[@jonnymarques7549]

na verdade, pelos outros comentários, ela já está bem famosa por aqui

[@lizzymurphy]

Well, I don't know if it would be considered "for October" and all that. (I guess, maybe, it could) But, anyway, I would 100% recommend the "Tiger's Curse Saga" by Colleen Houck. I don't think I could do the book justice with explaining it. But, it's a YA novel, and the fifth and last book is coming out March of next year. Again, I would highly recommend the saga. I love it... I've cried while reading it... And I don't normally cry while reading. (Now I want to reread them.) :D

[@remate3856]

Austin! :-)

[@molierresignoga]

I'm in H-town

[@lastjuliet788]

north africa . I was wondering if there are free cites to copyright your own title ? have a nice reading :)

[@gabby6103]

Would it be too personal to ask for a what’s on my laptop or desktop video?

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

Do you mean what programs/folders I have on my laptop or desktop and how I organize it? Not too personal at all :) I think it'd be a fun video!

[@gabby6103]

yes, I just got a new desktop and office and I've been organizing and setting it up. It would be a great video to watch.

[@angelikakopaczewska8325]

Hi from Poland :D Have you read The Painted Man by Peter V. Brett? I'm almost sure you'll like it :)

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

No, I have not! But thank you for the recommendation!

[@plannergirl777]

I'm from Japan, Tokyo :D Love watching your vlogs and tips for writing! Although I'm writing a dissertation as a grad student instead of novels, I find your tips very helpful.

[@lauramonaco6322]

I know it's a given for Halloween time, but have you ever read any Stephen King novels? I always try and read one of his books around October. :)

[@AuthorKristenMartin]

I've read a few and have really enjoyed them!
