i appreciate this SO MUCH. my non-reader friends are always like "girl where do you find the time to read" or "wish I had time for that" and I'm like I DON'T HAVE THE TIME lol like you said I'm out here stealing time and I'm genuinely so addicted to reading that I'd rather read than scroll on social media or watch netflix but it's still entertainment I'm just switching out one kind of entertainment for another

here’s a mini guide: 1) 2:48 read books you actually want to read and that actually interest you! 2) 5:13 read books on your phone, kindle, ipad, etc instead of physical books (& read while you use the bathroom) 3) 7:16 read on your laptop (during class) aka steal time instead of making it 4) 8:40 listen to audiobooks

The bathroom book tip is so golden. When I decided to read solely in the bathroom, I figured it you take me months to finish. It took a week. 😂

Read when you are travelling. I have my school 20 minutes away. So i spent 40 minutes reading. I have actually started to romanticise reading at 6:30 a.m with full windows down and the chilly wind whipping my face. I am usually the first one to arrive at campus, so I read a lot before my class. I read after my classes are finished. I actually watch movies in my free time, but i do like to read a few pages side by side. At the library, I give myself a goal. For example, after learning this topic, i will read a chapter of my book.

[@sunnykimreads]

You’re the main character

[@kalopsiawitch9538]

Your amazing😮. Every time I’m like, “ok let’s do this thing then we can read.” My brain just goes, “or we just read and not do the thing.” I’ve gotten better but sometimes it’s a battle.😅I wish my car was self driving so I could read while going to work. Or heck I wish public transport was better so I could read while going to work. A whole hour wasted and the book I’m currently reading right now doesn’t come in audio 😖

As an md/phd student who also reads about 100 books a year these tips are so real! I actually can't remember the last time I read a full book physically bc even if I own a physical copy I will still borrow it on Libby just so I can have it on my kindle & phone. The only tip here I haven't done myself is tip 3 only bc we go through modules so quickly in med school that we're testing multiple times a week & I literally cannot afford to not pay attention for even just a millisecond in class if I don't wanna fall behind. So, I just reward myself w reading breaks while studying instead 😂

[@sunnykimreads]

OOOH where do u go to school?

[@itsnoterica]

@@sunnykimreads I'm doing a joint UCLA-Caltech med scientist program! So technically I go to UCLA for my MD & Caltech for my PhD

[@Aiyume7]

for the first tip, it's not even just people who "wanna seem smart" cause i've seen so many people go read a book cause it's "a must", "everyone else is reading it" etc. and then they slog through 10 tiktok or booktube sensations just cause they feel the fomo :')

[@sunnykimreads]

Very true as well

[@esperate]

3:24 THIS. Last year I didn't read like a single book bc this was my exact problem - I thought of it as something that I needed to do, books required for school for example. This year this completely changed when I realized reading is literally just fun (the irony is I had this breakthrough while reading Shakespeare for school 💀 and I'm not even a particular fan of classics). Like I genuinely started thinking of reading as equal to watching a TV show. And now it's something I look forward to and have read 20 books this year (nothing compared to 80 but it's progress alright). Mindset is key.

[@sunnykimreads]

YESSS

[@yagirlzee]

omigosh you're so real for this! I used to be very much so "anti ebook" and "I love actual paper pages," but then 2020 happened and I couldn't go to the library for like months so I had to read e-books on Libby and I grew to really like them! It's not even that much different for me at this point: set the view to sepia and you might as well be reading a real book lol. it's just SO convenient being able to read on my phone/laptop. I get so much reading done on my commute to uni or in between classes. I know for me, I have to read before bed to fall asleep so that's where I steal time as well. Audiobooks are one thing I haven't gotten into but I actually checked out one recently so let's see how it goes :) anyways, 100 books as a grad student is crazy so props to you girl

[@ediedee909]

I love libby, I do that and get library physical books when I can

[@alisonlasher1149]

I was also anti ebook until 2020!! Got a kindle and never ever looked back 😎😎

[@JoosyJoose]

Other ideas 1. Read with easy tasks like brushing 2. You can read an actual book if your workout is walking, and not the best idea but I walk and read 3. You don’t have to always engage in the same activity as others, if your friend or partner is watching TV you can sit with them but read 4. Swap activities you’re bored of. For example, if you always talk on the phone or watch TV when eating dinner but there’s no one you want to talk to or nothing you want to watch, swap it for reading. Don’t force yourself because it’s routine.

[@liliancoy5341]

I’ve read 75 books his year and my methods are nearly identical, as a full time student I have no time, but I squeeze in the reading. I mean, we all also scroll for hours when we “have no time”, so I try and switch that out for reading. And I also use library apps on my phone to borrow books so I don’t have to buy them or commit to books I don’t end up liking.

[@sunnykimreads]

Yes exactly

[@dasia604]

One tip that has helped me read a lot is to use Libby since you can see how many people are waiting after you and the people pleaser in me will not let those people wait the full 21 days (I read Jade City in like 2 days because 7 people were waiting) so basically just become a people pleaser one tip I have for people who want to get into classics though is to just read romances like Jane Austens works because it’s honestly peak escapism or just reading female authors works in general like the Brontë sisters or Mary Shelley :) Plus classics are free which is great in this economy 😅 But if they don’t work for you it’s fine to just move on since life is too short (crime and punishment was too boring so I just put it down)

[@sunnykimreads]

Not the ppl pleasing 💀

[@doro.tea66]

How are classics free? Were to I get them for free? Do you have any Jane Austen Book which you would recommend?

[@katnisseverdeen5466]

@@doro.tea66 A bit late, but you can usually find pdfs online, and they don't get taken down cos the books are in the public domain. (eg I just googled 'pride and prejudice pdf' and the first result was a full pdf ebook from project gutenberg) Hope this helps! :)

[@Solip_i]

I started audio book this year but it’s hard for me (more than paper books). With my anxiety and concentration issues, I often daydream and get lost in my thoughts, but it’s a really great way to consume books ! For now, I’ve read 40books this year, which is a lot imo. I have other hobbies and I also enjoy chilling while doing nothing.

[@sunnykimreads]

I understand

[@robertadejean3081]

Get books that have the whispersync capabilities that way u can read and listen simultaneously. I have ADHD and that’s the best way for me to consume books.

I started listening to audiobooks to improve my auditory comprehension! Same with reading digitally at the start, I just didn’t have the same attention span as I did for physical books. I started with contemporary and YA, but now can read non-fiction and complex fantasy on audio too! Plus, I feel like it made a huge difference in my digital reading comprehension for online textbooks and the amount I could remember from listening to a lecture❤

[@sunnykimreads]

BAHAHAH

[@madisongriggs1556]

This is such great advice. I got my degree in English and was so miffed as to why reading all those classics felt like a chore to me. Now I've rediscovered my love of fantasy and reading is my favorite hobby!! Can't stress enough to not worry about what you *should* be reading or whatever. You should be reading what gets you psyched!

[@morganjones2744]

So basically, you are the book goddess; can find the perfect books to obsess over. I used to be amazing at picking books that I will love. This year has not been my year; i've only found a handful of books that I generally liked, a couple I was obsessed with.

Love u

[@empathandy__5722]

I love the phrase “low maintenance reader” cause like that’s me. The only problem is that I want to build a library, so sometimes I read the book on my phone or kindle and still buy the physical book to have on my shelf lol

[@sunnykimreads]

Mmmmm dilemma

[@chaeyoungsstrawberryfarm3327]

I “steal” time too lol Audio books when I’m doing literally anything Reading on my laptop and phone Reading anytime I have to travel anywhere Reading even though I only have like a 10 minute break at something It counts in the end:)

I just take out my literal e-reader in class and hide it behind my laptop I'm not giving up that valuable reading time😌

Omg I do that too

[@hannahnfvideos1043]

Ironically, the only book I didn’t finish this year was a physical book!!! Having to get up and get the book and read it is a total barrier for me (also I have ADHD lol so if things have barriers it’s very hard) but I always have my phone with me, so since I’ve accepted that I read much more on my phone than physical copies, I’ve been reading soooo much more

[@estefania_001]

I'll never understand people who don't like audiobooks. I loved being read to as a kid, so it's kinda like adult storytime. I also find that listening to an audiobook and reading along to an ebook makes me go through books faster.

[@sunnykimreads]

Yes!!

[@tee1209]

I tried to test out a couple audiobooks for fantasy books i've been wanting to read and i'm sooo particular about the narrator's voice and had to stop each of the 3 I tried. 😭 I'll still attempt them with each new book I start to see if any click for me but that's MY personal issue with a lot of them, at least! 🥲

[@jessicaotame508]

Listening and reading along is a game changer!!!

[@Solip_i]

I started audio book this year but as someone who have a lot of anxiety and concentration issues, it’s really hard to focus on the audio book. When I’m reading, I’m active, because my eyes are moving and I have to turn the pages, but when I’m listening to an audio book, i have too much thoughts and daydream a lot, it’s harder to get back to the audio and I often realize that I stopped listening to the story for a while. So yea, we all have our reasons.

[@lilacfields]

well i hated being read to as a kid so i guess that explains why i’m not the biggest fan of audiobooks 😭

[@irgendwoaunid4048]

Hard agree on the reading in class ! I study English Linguistics and Literature and I have several classes where presence is mandatory but the grade is based on a short paper based on ONE topic covered in ONE double-session. So by the beginning of the semester I choose my prefered topic, pay attention during that class and for the rest of the semester I sit there and either do work for other classes or read on my iPad. Uni is great but I absolutely have to choose where to invest my energy.

Yes! Im a full time student, full time stay at home mom with a toddler, and audiobooks and my kindle are lifesavers. Audiobooks while doing chores and cooking, kindle in the cracks of time. Im also not a book elitist, i just dont have the time for that nonsense. Also Libby is where it's at!

[@elisereadsandwrites]

These are great tips! I’m also a grad student and working two jobs and KZbin channel lolllll. I listen to a ton of audiobooks while i drive or multi-task. I also don’t really watch tv or movies and instead use that time for reading. I read before bed and any little time in between, even if its just a few minutes of reading an ebook. But it adds up!!

[@sunnykimreads]

YES

[@hadisaafzaly9029]

Reading on the go is so much fun and beneficial and speeds you up. I used to find a calm quiet place to then sit down and read which most of the time needed lots of efforts. Now I read while I’m on taxi, bus, in the toilet/ while having a bath, while I wait for my doctors appointment, and any other place that I will be just sitting using my phone otherwise.

When i had my internship this year i would listen to audio books the whole day and i got through so many books. It was full time so i finished like 3 books aweek.

[@EllenFelicity]

This was so funny 😂 i totally agree on audiobooks. I never thought I'd like them. Then i got used to listening to podcasts, went from there to non fiction and memoir audiobooks, then just started trying all sorts and now it feels normal

[@sunnykimreads]

Yes

[@satitovmasyan2116]

"reading books is like watching netflix" omg yes please someone say it, so there's this misconception about reading books that it's a hustle, but in reality books are a medium in which way some consume content, educational books or non-fiction book are alike tutorials/video essays/edu videos/ documentaries, while reading fiction is just like watching a tv show/movie, I think it's largely a matter of preference in which way you want to consume stuff and which way works best for you I do also agree that as you said, if you find the right book you will read it, you will find the time, you will squeeze your reading periods within the few leisure minutes you have throughout the day, and feel even more fulfilled

[@satitovmasyan2116]

imo reading is far more phenomenal in itself than watching movies (for myself), and when you are a reader, a good book will probably take you to read as much time as watching the show let's say, so in fact reading does get more convenient time efficiency wise. I read like 100-150 books yearly and people usually think I don't have much to do, or I don't go enough social events/meetings, but in reality it's just finding an opportunity to read at some possible times

[@strawberry_milk....]

my tips! these ones are for people that want to read healthier or smth - read what you want to read in the moment like lets say you have a book on your never ending tbr but you want to read another book really bad , read the other book - if you walk to school , shops etc. read a books on a kindle/pdf or listen to an audiobook - have fun with it! now my tips that aren't rlly healthy but some r - listen to an audiobook during anyhting ( studying , excersize , walking . sleeping anything) - get a kindle (it helps soo much in the long run) - read during class but be a lil sneaky with it (if ur in high school , middle school or elementary) - read in the bathroom - listen to books you don't want to read while you sleep ( I do this so I can say i "finished" the book)

Hi! This advices are SO GOOD. Omg. I will always say that you read much better in a digital way, like an ereader, o audiobook… for me at least. This year I read like… 16 books, and I have more free time than you have, but I have like 20 books not finished. And have not listened to an audiobook for a whole year. But I don’t have the motivation, I need to find it. Should get a bathroom, a gym and a class book 100% (I work in a library, so in this case I have all physical books). Also, I love your background with Friends and Rory Gilmore/Girls posters, I think I’m gonna subscribe right now 😃

AWWH THANK U

[@angie20de06]

finally a fresh take on how to read more

[@noahe.2861]

Actually practical tips we love to see it! For me it’s the same, I don’t have any time to schedule for reading and even if, let’s be honest I’m not gonna read. Another tip: I take public transport for 1 hour every day. AT LEAST, on most days even more (I’m from Berlin, Germany), and most of my reading is there. Then also if you use Libby and have library audiobooks and ebooks , sometimes your library will have the ebook and the audiobook available. READ HYBRID!! I tend to get uneasy reading one book, so I either change to a different book and finish the other one later or I borrow the audiobook and the ebook and switch how I read. This helps so much! Also for my ADHD pals, set your audiobook to 1,5 to 2 times speed. This was what made me finally get into audiobooks.

A very easy way to read hundreds of books a year would be to embrace Manga/Manhwa/Graphic Novels. Yes the price may be huge on a physical front but there are a lot of apps/sites for reading comic book related material. In fact it wouldn’t be a massive challenge to read 365 books a year.

[@sunnykimreads]

MMM INTEREST

[@Solip_i]

Hmm but it’s not a competition, is it ? Read mangas because you want to, not because you want to say « I’ve read 100 books » there’s no price to win by reading this much 😅 I don’t think the number of books we read is important, it’s more about making the time to read instead of scrolling on social media etc

[@wolfme4030]

@@Solip_i I don’t in anyway disagree but with a video titled to talk about reading more I was just pointing out a way of doing it. I do believe in quality over quantity but as a reader of many genres and types the more you can read the more chance you will have of finding more stories to love.

The best thing for me in reading was reading on my commute on public transit even if I didn't feel like I had any other time

[@sunnykimreads]

I've always been a physical book only kinda girl, until earlier this year i realised how hard it is to actually carry round a physical book (especially thick ones!) and trying to read a physical book in different positions is so awkward. I got an ereader less than 2 months ago and I've already read more in that 2 months than i had the previous 9 months. Life changing, honestly.

I can 100% vouch on audiobooks! Getting into audiobooks is the best decision I've done this year. I've practically read almost double the number of books that I did this time last year because now I rotate between physical, ebook, and audiobook. Audiobook is a gamechanger because I can do it while doing mundane chores or when I'm on the road!I must say though, the audiobook narrator can make or break a book for you. I've read audiobooks with good stories but I just didn't vibe with the narrator's voice. Others have such INCREDIBLE narrators that I was willing to sit through them voicing the most annoying or unlikeable characters ever.

if I read on my phone I mostly read on wattpad and I'm now wanting to start adding wattpad books to my read list too bc they are real books, yk? wattpad I can use on my school ipad too, so that's very convenient too (also webtoon, but I prefer wattpad for now)

what website do you use to get your EPUB books?? i’m getting a kindle soon and have so many books i wanna get for free 😅

[@LittleMew133]

I pretty much only read non-fictions, and if I want to read fiction, I read memoirs lol so I feel like even though I can read fast and over 100 books a year, I dont retain the info, and need to slow down to 50-60 books a year for it to stick in my brain in the long run.

Wait on the topic of your soulmate dream….I have also had one of those!! I’ve never been in a relationship before but in my dream I was walking down the isle to marry someone I’d never seen before in real life, but could see his face clearly. When I looked at him I felt overwhelming love and waking up I was so at peace. I’m wondering if your experience was similar? I haven’t talked to anyone else who’s had the same thing happen to them!

[@sunnykimreads]

YES. Overwhelming peace. Is this a rite of passage or smth 😀

[@emiliarose5817]

@@sunnykimreadsomg so crazy! I’ve just called it a prophetic dream for years because I hope it comes true. I hope the same for you!!
