getting out of a reading slump 📚 a chill vlog + book haul

[@sebastiannamoore]

This is why I don’t rush myself to read books, I go at my own pace. This is what I’ve always done; been a bookworm all my life. Many new readers rush straight throw a load of TikTok books and then get burnt out, I say just do what reading is about; relaxing and escaping into another reality. Don’t worry about meeting goals that you set yourself, nobody’s gonna look down on you for only reading 2 books in a month, it’s your life, your choice, do what you want! :) reading is for fun, it’s not homework x

[@catherinecouch2960]

Same, I feel like a lot of people get overwhelmed easily with everyone reading faster than them and finishing so many books in a month.

[@sophieriri2063]

i needed this as I'm currently in a reading slump.. I read sooo much in January and February.. i don't know what happened but I will pick up my book now!

[@CocoDay]

ikr me too! i just lost motivation but i think i have it back now :))

[@Uahuu]

I’m actually in the same exact boat! Nice to know I’m not alone in this 😭😭

[@wissama6889]

you are like my comfort person, im gonna try to get out of my reading slump now

[@CocoDay]

aww you’re so sweet ❤️ you got this x

[@apollineunow]

i love love love the reading vlogs !! and tbh i totally understand. at one point i was reading 3-4 books a week and it became overwhelming and too much for me and i ended up in a slump, + not really enjoying anything i was reading (and i don’t think it necessarily was bc of the books). so slowing down the reading process to take my time and “savor” the books more definitely help !!!

[@CocoDay]

yes! savouring them is so important i think, otherwise i forget about them as soon as i’m done ://

[@faerysha]

ngl you have the most comforting reading vlog ever

[@tina1989era]

i was also in a reading slump at the end of march:( it's literally the worst ever. what i learnt: changing up the genres i read. instead of reading 2 romance books back to back i now read at least one thriller/fantasy/contemporary or an (ready-to-read) classic inbetween. also i take a 1 day break after i finish a book to really digest what i just read ! also i feel like i gravitate towards an under-250-page book whenever i'm in a reading slump. those are my tips to get our of one :D

[@lamagh9652]

I wish your vlogs never ended, I really enjoy when you upload them 🙌🏽

[@CocoDay]

aww thank you!!

[@Kpopheaven]

I just love your reading vlogs, the athmosphere and the way you film and edit them is so nice! I'm not in a reading slump, I actually kinda wanna read all the books because there are so many interesting ones. But that may actually be the problem: it's hard to choose and then I struggle with focusing on only one book at the time :D I usually try to read max 2 physical books at the same time.

[@pv3074]

Watching the clips of you reading always helps me out of my reading slump. Keep ‘em coming!

[@erinebrazier]

i completely agree with what you said about ‘Before The Coffee Gets Cold’. i’m an english lit a level student and can usually get through books super fast, no joke i was probably reading this for about a week! also loved this vid :)

[@CocoDay]

right!! i found it so hard 😬😬

[@DamnTastyVegan]

Mysteries and thrillers always get me out of a reading slump too. Nothing like a good page turner

[@tea-and-spock1134]

Before the coffee gets cold is an amazing little collection of stories, very different and unique ... I went into If we were villains without knowing anything about it and never read any Shakespear and it was one of my favourites of that year !! Great book

[@emmarussell9847]

I love your reading vlogs. Great vid

[@CocoDay]

tysm ❤️

[@jalenfowler1660]

I loved On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous , Ocean’s writing is so fcking beautiful

[@someone8046]

I am in a huge reading slump and this is motivating me to pick up a book

[@EllaCharlotteJones]

I always love watching your videos - you've inspired me to get back into my reading!

[@CocoDay]

thank you sweetie x

[@cristinasanchez1478]

Nothing better than a new reading video from Coco 🙌🏼💜

[@CocoDay]

ily x

[@elinorczarellir.romero9443]

u r literally my comfort! im so happy you posted again :(

[@CocoDay]

🥺🥺❤️

[@commar6088]

I hated before the coffee gets cold too

[@readeroutside1619]

I Love to read without any music. In a natural environment. That gives me more energy and focus.

[@im_just_vidu]

I'm currently am in a reading slump and I'm watching others getting out of reading slump to help me motivate.

[@CocoDay]

you got this xx

[@fida2475]

I actually loved before the coffee gets cold! I think i loved it even more because of how simple or mundane it was, ykwim. I loved the sequel even more

[@CocoDay]

oh im glad someone likes it! i think i just needed something more exciting x

[@user-ee7yj5lz9v]

I read Before the coffee gets cold in one sitting hahaha. The format/repetition can feel weird bc it was originally a play! I loved it but i think if it was read over a longer period of time it’d be harder to get into/harder to form attachments to the characters. Sort of like watching a movie in one go rather than stopping and starting it over a few days. That’s what i found anyway!

[@CocoDay]

ahhh didn’t know it was meant to be a play! that makes more sense 🤔

[@littleredreadingfox4772]

love your channel, Coco! I've already went through most of your older videos and am looking forward to the next one!

[@tiphaine6718]

i get so excited when you post reading vlogs !!!

[@CocoDay]

ahh i love you xx

[@hannahbakkker4603]

this video gives me the motivation to read more! i really love these videos

[@jessicaveiga4777]

I bumped into your channel last weekend and it automatically became my comfy choice. I'm glad I found you!

[@CocoDay]

ahhh love you!

[@NaomiElizabeth96]

These vlogs are soo cozy I love them xx

[@gracieshoemaker9494]

Your reading vlogs always make me want to read more

[@CocoDay]

yay!!!

[@esmehammond6485]

I'm in a reading slump after finishing 'The Arc of The Sycthe' series, and this really helped! 🥰🥰

[@CocoDay]

❤️❤️

[@lottaleben-p7x]

i still need to read the third book.. is it worth it? how did you think it was?

[@esmehammond6485]

@@lottaleben-p7x I think it is worth it! The start is a little dull, but I rated it 5 stars over all!

[@caitlingraham1246]

i read ‘before the coffee gets cold’ back in january and i didn’t enjoy it either!! i found it really hard to remember who the characters were because they didn’t have any depth so i didn’t really get into what was going on. i’m glad someone feels the same tho cos i thought i was missing something with all the hype around it

[@idontknowwhattoputhere361]

I love the aesthetic of your videos and seeing as ive also been stuck in a reading slump this video called to me ^^ also can't wait to hear what you think about If We Were Villains as its one of my favs :D

[@veronika519]

Your vlog was sooo needed today 🤠🥰 Also I love your editing!! Btw what are you all currently reading? Im reading "Norwegian Woods" by Murakami Sending hugs ❤❤❤❤

[@CocoDay]

thank you! ahh that’s such a good book :))

[@girl_offline]

I absolutely adore The man who died twice!!🥰 I'm from Slovakia but I go to uni in Scotland sooo here's the answer to your question: I would definitely find it less funny if I had not been living in the UK for the last three years. The British humour is something that runs in my mother's side of the family (even though we're all 100% Slovak but I have not taken the DNA test so take this with a pinch of salt) 😄 however my dad, bless him, he does not share it with us so I'm constantly reminding him that "it was sarcasm" hahahah. Are we the same person?? I have also been into cats lately!!

[@CocoDay]

oh that’s amazing!! scotland is so beautiful i hope you’ve enjoyed your time there :)) ahhh i completely get that, our humour can sound quite mean if you don’t understand it’s a joke 😂😂 i’m so happy you got to appreciate the book as it should be ❤️❤️

[@CocoDay]

oh and lol the cat thing 😂😂 my tiktok fyp is literally full of cars and i LOVE IT

[@savvy1145]

OH MY GOODNESS IF WE WERE VILLAINS IS SOO SO GOOD

[@CocoDay]

😁😁

[@_gracechiang]

[@petronyte1485]

Hi, I've sent you a collaboration offer to your email. Hope to hear from you soon 😊

[@hester8422]

I’ve read ‘the man who died twice’ as well, loved it! I think British humor and Dutch humor are quite similar. Love Joyce shopping at Aldi and the letters to herself. I wish I could follow her on Instagram. And omg Ibrahim is so relatable!
