could you please make a video on manga for beginners? i've been wanting to get into manga but i don't know where to start? you could do it by genre, or by emotions, your pick!

[@sarahs4354]

the slump is global. i don't know what a book is anymore

[@amysmith1044]

You are right everyone I know including me is in a slump😂❤

[@ivoriangirl]

I am so glad it’s not just me 😢

[@themurderbotfeed7688]

I just broke my 2 month slump with an audiobook, I might not feel like reading but im down for having a story told to me as if im a small small child lol

[@moose1277]

I've not been able to read for two months now 😭

[@febinlukman1486]

Exactly 😢

[@Haris-gh1kn]

Manga HAS to count since I've read only 5 books this year and 50 volumes of manga 😭😭

[@moose1277]

the 14 volumes of dungeon meshi are carrying my reading count for this year for real...

[@biteofdog]

I'm not into Manga, but I definitionally think it counts since you annihilated 50 volumes of it. 😹❤❤‍🔥

[@sisyphusnemo8722]

Of course manga counts. ❤😄

[@poppycalliope]

Definitely counts 👏✨️

[@incandescent.glow.]

IT DOES COUNT.

[@alessandraole]

Yesss. Saw you rating books on Goodreads again and was like YES WE’RE BACK

[@yoonkookie5572]

Not me checking hannah's goodreads everyday to see if she's finished Funny Story 😂 seeing it was rated 5 stars was sooo satisfying you have no idea, and finding out you fell in love with it after just reading 55 pages is *chefs kiss* relatable

[@Kyccaa85]

I Downloaded „Minor Detail“ right after they banned the book from the Annual Book Fair in Germany. Also many of my friends did that all over Europe. Thank you for speaking about this book, it is so disturbing, but really well written ❤️

[@emmaclare9066]

Hi Hannah I thought you might like to hear this! I bought your ana luisa necklace (and also your bracelet) when it was first launched and wear it every day. I get so many compliments on it and actually the last two community theatre productions I've been in the director has specifically requested I wear it on stage because they found it so pretty. The last one was Pride and Prejudice!

[@liz.3454]

Same! I got mine a year and a half ago and it is one of my two staple necklaces so I wear it ALL the time. I absolutely love it!!

[@CaffeintedZainab-]

this is great motivation for me to do a 24 hour readathon myself to get out of my reading slump.

[@brianaholmes9754]

i hate when people say mangas don’t count :( like there are words…i am actively reading at the end of the day whether it’s a full length novel or not it COUNTS

[@The7Girlie]

Hannah, as a fellow curly hair girly I just want to say that your hair is glorious 💖💖

[@alisonfabi1081]

my romance recommendation is definitely The Seven Year Slip, it gave me major emily henry vibes with a speculative twist!! so happy you're loving your books and reading in general

[@poppycalliope]

I've heard the best for this book! I definitely want to Read it too 📚✨️

[@el-tw4tt]

Gosh, I love that book too! So cutee. I want more recommendations like the seven year slip

[@carolineblueskies]

LOVED that one! and knowing how Hannah feels about Beach Read, I think she would love it

[@coleeeeenyyy]

I just read that this month and I loooove it! I’ve been kinda so so with contemporary romance and it was everything I needed

[@imnotobsessedwiththat4162]

seven year slip is AMAZING, lives in my head rent free

[@sakshitawari2020]

I am dying for a good book recommendation now

[@Namelessfornow34]

Once again, your hair looks stunning!

[@gabrielarredondo3825]

Saying her hair looks amazing is like saying water is wet or the sky is blue. Her hair is always amazing.

[@Namelessfornow34]

@@gabrielarredondo3825 So true! But it's so shiny today!

[@kageyukiaru]

read/watch skip and loafer! it's such a great slice of life with impeccable characters. also I feel like ima koi has similar vibes to a sign of affection! really sweet wholesome relationship dynamic that gave me all the butterflies. definitely recommend!

[@pauieeepau]

Oooh, the Sign of Affection covers and spines are so pretty. My manga shelf is mostly black and white and badly needs some color uuugghh.

[@ikeablahaj666]

The book that got me out of my last reading slump was Sorcery of Thorns. It's so good and a new fave of mine! After I was done reading it I just felt like screaming: "This gem was in my bookshelf this whole time and I had no idea!!!!"

[@alessandraole]

Nice! It’s on my TBR coz of Hannah, will likely read it soon 🤓

[@poppycalliope]

You convinced me to add it in my tbr 🙈📚

[@ollie2596]

Its a great comfort read and slump buster for me personally! I highly recommend the audiobook for it too!!!

[@andreasiecinski]

You should read Abby Jimenez. Especially the Part of Your World interconnected series. The last one, Just For The Summer is one of the best romances I’ve ever read!! But all three in the series are so good!

[@poppycalliope]

I recently got just for the summer but I haven't read the other ones yet. Should I read those first? I am just excited for the summer feeling 🙈

[@poojarao2856]

I literally was about to comment this !!!. I LOVED LOVED Just for the summer. It was soo good. These two have really become my favorite romance authors. THEY DO NOT DISAPPOINT.

[@idlemidlemuh]

@@poppycalliope I read just for the Summer first. It was a great book, and fine to read as a standalone. As far as I gathered from the other books, these are about side characters of just for the summer. Maybe you have more context when you read them first, but it is not really necessary. I hope that helped. Just for the summer was so great for me. I haven’t been able to finish anything since then. Nothing compares 😅 it seems I need a readathon too 📚

[@poppycalliope]

@@idlemidlemuh thank you this is very helpful!!! I am SO excited to read it 📚🙈💕

[@chelsimullen65]

It’s so funny how the different Emily Henry books hit for different people! She’s such a skilled writer and storyteller and I also adored Funny Story! In fact, your top 3 Emily Henry’s are the same as mine. They just have those Feels, ya know??

[@ra6177]

I was JUST about to sleep after watching a podcast and now the QUEEN has uploaded...No sleep tonight lol

[@luzdarynelson5644]

Haha. I just finished reading As Long As Lemon Trees Grow, and I am feeling so accomplished since I havent read an actual book in ages. I started with that one because you recommended it. Thanks!!

[@Maude_T]

Wait, Lady MacBeth is out?? Girl we need the review omg!! Also, this is the first time I see one of your videos and you are GORGEOUS!

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

Yes, Funny Story SLAPPED.

[@MoJordanReads]

This was so motivational! I loved Funny Story as well and totally feel exactly the same about it vs. Happy Place too. I think a sort of a comp rec would be Happily Never After by Lynn Painter. Not as much depth as an Emily Henry tbh but still great characters to follow and always hilarious as heck.

[@KsenijaStojanovic-cx9zk]

I absolutely loveee watching your videos, ever since 2018. I can't tell you how grateful I am for your videos, they really helped me get into reading

[@asan1050]

A slump is the body saying, 'Take a Break!' Great to see you are well and in good spirits Hannah! Enjoy this life ad all that comes with it. See ya!

[@julierfl]

Love the video, love the recommendations, love your excitement and love to have you back on the reading hype. Go queen, welcome back, we’ve missed you ❤❤❤

[@dimtrex47]

I need that 5 star feeling again😭 i think everyone collectively got into a book slump this year... 2024 is rough

[@kashishbarot2298]

It's the genius lab hoodie for me. Loved chilling with you 💜

[@larrythelatypus]

there just isn't anything better than A Sign of Affection, the latest volume in English is delivering to my door today 🙏🏻🤝🏻💐

[@hanimeight8]

loved the videooo!! the slump is affecting everyone everywhere all at once. also just finished frieren the anime and i think you would really enjoy it!

[@MysteryFlameMonkey]

This genuinely gave me so much motivation to get out of my reading slump. I've been in the middle of six different books for months now and even though I've been really enjoying them I just couldn't enjoy the act of reading. I have the first volume of Yona of the Dawn (which I got due to your recommendation) and I think reading a manga could help spring my reading back into action. I've been watching your videos for years and we have very similar reading tastes so anytime you say you love something, I know I will love it too. Thank you so much Hannah for everything you do! It's always a joy to see a new video from you!

[@lgabymoran]

I really enjoyed hearing you rationalize what mood-reading means and how you sort of... genre-surf? It was very eloquently put and made me look at my own TBR shelf with new eyes

[@revolcisum33]

Abby Jimenez is my favorite romance author! Emily Henry is a close second since they both write cute romances but also tackle issues by not having the characters be perfect. Highly recomend Abby

[@regancambridge3413]

If you liked Rogue you will definitely love Bunny.. It's so good! Also I'm not the biggest romance fan but I loved Love and Other Words

[@finch1454]

missed your 24-hr reading vlogs!! 💖💖

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Hannah you seem much more comfortable and happier in your recent videos (: yay!

[@underworldsghost]

Have been putting off reading for so long, but sat down to finish my book before watching this video because I knew I'd come out of it with another book on my tbr

[@anaxo28]

Always so happy to see a video from you! ❤

[@coffeebean_]

Would love an updated bookshelf tour 😍

[@mansoor3159]

Hannah I really really love to read books so so so much and I really really needed this video and thanks for the video 😀😀

[@mbranche4234]

I feel the same way about Sign of Affection...how can he be so cute, respectful and smart???? My boyfriend-in-my-head candidate for sure. ❤️

[@candacecelestine2662]

I was hesitant in picking up Funny Story, but after hearing that you enjoyed I need to read it now!!

[@danielariveraherrera9421]

omg yessssss, just in time for me to watch while eating my lunch

[@patte_cendree]

I was slowly getting stuck into a reading slump (because of Tempest of Tea, this is so weird I love it and yet don't feel like reading the rest of it) and you made me want to read again, so thanks ! Also, I can't wait to have your opinion on Lady M because I feel I could hate it or love it very much

[@malaksayed2457]

Omg I recently ordered funny story and seeing you find your 5 star read in it is making me super excited to read it

[@daisy2101]

I would definitely recommend Mariana Zapata "All Rhodes lead here" and "The wall of Winnipeg and me" loved these books . I'm still searching for something similar to this.❤

[@MsUdontknowmee]

omg I literally just finished Rhodes and LOVED the slow burn

[@amishashrivastava9328]

Watching your videos always motivates me to read more.... Whenever I'm in a reading slump... I watch your videos.... Thank you for all your efforts.... Love you 💝

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Yay❤❤❤ we love 5 star reads!

[@Oceansongster]

Joining the Fantasy Faction book discussion book on Facebook got me out of my reading slump. I've gotten so many good suggestions from it (ignoring all the Fourth Wing, Sarah J Maas, etc that pops up)

[@kennedygregory6192]

A Sign of Affection is literally one of my favorite manga series ever, I'm so happy that you're reading it!! Also I feel like you would love Skip and Loafer! 💗💐

[@potatoesvevo9465]

Yay! New Hannah video dropped 🤩🤩 I check every day

[@mbranche4234]

Hi 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 I binged Sign of Affection volumes 1-5 and am loving them!!! Have already placed a library hold for the remaining volumes. Thank you for suggesting it. To break my reading slump, I am binging the Bridgerton series on Felicity, George and Violet. This will compete the series for me.

[@brandonbuechley9379]

I highly recommend Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell. Yes, that’s the title! It was the sweetest (and strangest) romance I’ve read so far this year.

[@aamnarehman1158]

I highly recommend the Buried and the Bound series by Rochelle Hassan. It’s YA Fantasy but it’s so so good for older readers as well. Because it’s gets dark, gritty and violent. The author doesn’t pull her punches when she puts her characters through it. And there’s found family and queer romance sub plot.

[@kaystar7741]

Great vlog, it’s definitely motivating. A couple months ago I wanted to get back into reading and have decided to try to pick up more of the manga I owned and so far I’ve been enjoying it. For romance manga recs, if you want high school romance, I recommend a condition called love, and Imakoi; as for like college age, I really enjoyed How I met my soulmate.

[@janetgriffin7779]

I’ve been in a slump as well but recently started reading again. I wouldn’t mind trying this readathon cuz actually it seems fun!

[@cirrusism]

Have been reading Pratchett and finished like 5 books in a month. Those read so fast and are so much Fun.

[@beaniebaby485]

Ooohhh I love Pratchett!

[@elisa___cab]

Thank for this video. Also read Rouge by Mona Awad and I was stunned by her writing style! Bunny is still in my TBR but I hope to read it soon ! If you want any other weird story I recommend the novella “Comfort me with apples” but even more My husband by Maud Ventura ! An absolute five stars 💫

[@philharmoniic]

i'm also in a slump and this is definitely motivating me to pick up a book!! ^-^

[@moonlightstay7]

i can’t wait to finish university and be able to read for fun again

[@arreisasus]

Refreshed my feed and there you are! What a wonderful surprise💗

[@lbooch95]

Funny story was really good! Honestly read bunny it is my favorite book! Mona Awad is amazing. I gave “alls well” by her 5 stars too!

[@bandsandbooks6133]

I think you would love bunny by mona awad. Although I haven't read rouge it's similar to how you described that book, it kinda feels like everything is a hallucination or a fever dream. I read it way before the tiktok hype and I was begging people to read it because no one had heard of it before, so I highly recommend checking it out!

[@shanyatiwari3974]

I love how you say the phrase “ plays out like a movie in my head “ cause same ❤ maybe you should make a list of books that play out like movies

[@TamilaSushkova]

I got into the Emily Wilde series (rip me cause I have to wait till 2025 for book 3) and it really kicked off my reading spree and then I had to read a book in time for pub date because I was part of a book tour and we got the info for the schedule like 3 days prior to pub date lol! Anyways, finished the book at 1 o'clock in the morning, was worth it cause it was 5/5 stars

[@YukiChii]

Funny Story was fantastic!!❤

[@pinksuperstar2]

Manga definitely counts as reading and I don't give a care what anyone has to say. Also, if you really love Funny Story, I highly recommend Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez. I read both and loved them. They give off a similar vibe while being original.

[@Rosa-qm8le]

Loved this video ❤ also where did you get that genius lab sweater, I neeeeed 😅

[@prerza]

i love ur vides, sm, hannah

[@sstjohn96]

I just started Rouge yesterday and love it so far! I love how weird it is

[@onemartinitwo]

Love this as a way to get out of a reading slump! I read Funny Story a little over a week ago and I agree with its place in your Emily Henry ranking. I think what makes her books so great is that they’re inherently *satisfying* - you come away refreshed and rejuvenated. That said, the two best books I’ve read this year were NetGalley ARCs - Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe (coming out in June) and I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue (coming out next week). Both were 5-star reads for me and worth checking out!

[@cjanney3592]

Watched A Sign of Affection anime because of your recommendation and it was literally so sweet, I almost couldn’t handle it. I will be reading all the manga now! Haha

[@barbaralemon4170]

Whenever I start to see a reading slump , I reread an old favorite, and that always works for me. 🤓

[@iris_exe]

Abby Jimenez has good romances!! I recently read just for the summer and gave it 4 stars

[@erin2832]

hi this is so random but I was rewatching one of your old vlogs and you mentioned doing a cooking series which sounds cool, would that be something you'd want to do nowadays? :)

[@aamnahere6250]

It's so great to see a new upload from you. You're an absolute breath of fresh air. A few books that have a huge potential of getting you out of a reading slump: The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly. (Fantasy) Think of a Number by John Verdon. (Thriller) Minor Details by Adania Shibli. (Historical/literary fiction novella) Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang. (Historical fiction) None of This is True by Lisa Jewell. (Thriller).

[@thewitchyreader6131]

Awesome Video!

[@luvmeday]

my girl is baaack yay

[@mimi40629]

My reading slump started last year and it was so bad I thought I'd never pick up a book again. Then I decided to read Red rising which has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time. And just like that I was obsessed, the only thing slowing me down was school work. Trying to study while you think about a plot of a book you're reading sucks but I'm glad I got over the slump xD

[@katelynwashko]

so so excited! 🩷

[@gauriganesh1070]

Yes, another Funny Story lover!

[@mayradiaz9288]

You should read/or watch sasaki and miyano. It's a very cute bl story.

[@SunshineReader.]

A Sign of Affection is literally everything 🥰. I also recommend it on my channel. Everyone should read it!!

[@ONEDIRECTIONLOVE1730]

Today I bought volume 8 of A Sign of Affection and thanks to you I found out that there’s a volume 9 out lol so now I need it before I even read the 8th one

[@amandaweymouth1748]

Based on your book tastes I really feel like you’d love the tv series jellowjackets. Like LOVE it

[@Pleiades21]

your earrings are so pretty

[@The_onset_tutor]

All I want is a fun, sometimes emotional, egalitarian book without any toxicity in the characters or plot, is that so much to ask?

[@OssieCozy]

Indonesian fan right here! I watched this video and somehow it helped giving me just the right push to finish a book I've been procrastinating to read. I guess the key is to be in a really comfortable environment to read and try to ignore small distractions that our brain usually comes up with

[@angelasamte2407]

24 hour readathon yessss we're so back😌😌

[@musicbooks93]

Read Seven Days in June!! Such a good romance story but funny and well-written and heart-warming

[@17caria]

Hope you'll do this again soon! Have you read the book "I'm thinking of ending things"? I'm wondering if you might like it.

[@kristasmith5754]

Reading children’s chapter books are also a great way to get out of a reading slump! I think they’re often forgotten about but can be so complex! Like Neil Gaiman’s Coraline or The Graveyard Book. Or anything by Roald Dahl like James and the Giant Peach. The themes are amazing, easy reads, entertaining. They always cure a stubborn reading slump for me!

[@elzbthts]

Oh I love thise manga 😭❤️ Itsuomi such a MUAH 😭❤️

[@misasa460]

I feel your slump so much! I haven’t picked up a book since FEBRUARY😭 I need to find the motivation but I’m struggling so much :((

[@ayeshakahout]

[@mairabezerra915]

I'm reading Funny Story right now and liking so much. Happy Place will be my next read 👀.

[@jupiterliam7961]

tbh when I'm in a reading slump my go-to picks are terry pratchett's discworld novels. they're funny and lighthearted, generally move pretty quickly and are easy to follow, and they're not really emotionally heavy so they don't really take a mental toll on you to read.

[@r1pples]

i used to be in a huge slump but am currently reading my favorite book of 2024 (the goldfinch by donna tartt!) i recall hannah saying she didn’t like the secret history and i think her reasons were completely valid. if you didn’t like tsh then you probably won’t like the goldfinch. but the writing is so, so beautiful and the depiction of grief is so raw, and the characters just grab onto you and don’t let go. completely worthy of winning a pulitzer in my opinion. a book hasn’t made me feel this way in a long, long time.

[@sidrakhan6025]

You NEED to read The fragrant flower blooms with dignity manga. Its SO GOOD. The vibes are similar to a sign of affection. But i personally like it more than a sign of affection

[@megpartington8359]

you should check out "little scratch" by rebecca watson. it's formatted really strangely and follows an unnamed girl from the moment she wakes up til when she foes to sleep and its amazing! my first 5 star read of the year
