I Read 155 Books This Year and These Are My Disappointments

[@Shelf-Esteem]

Hey nice to meet a fellow Led Zep fan! I'm new to your channel so I'm not sure if you've already covered this, but would love to know how you read SO many books in 1 year?? I'm definitely looking forward to increasing my reading next year. Any tips would be so appreciated. Great channel my dude!

[@zakskiver]

Hey, thank you for the comment! Yes, I will be making a video in January about the subject! I’m a big Led Zeppelin fan, glad you have good taste in music.😎

I've forced my way through two sleep inducing Sanderson books & that was enough. Not the author for me, I guess.

[@zakskiver]

Totally agree. I don’t think he’s an author for me, which it’s fine if he isn’t yours either. Just his writing doesn’t click with me.

Shame you didn’t like WOT, easily my favorite series

[@zakskiver]

I tried to like it, but couldn’t.

[@IzzyZil20]

@@zakskiver it’s not for everyone so it’s okay. I just adore it

[@zakskiver]

@ perfectly fine, I wish I was able to enjoy it like millions of others.

Why the vid is 360p? But good video never less.

[@zakskiver]

It’s my phone. I have tried everything to change to 4K. It’s set to 4K when I record it, but when it uploads on KZbin. It’s just 360p and I have no idea why.

[@Alucardchibi]

@@zakskiver Make sure your upload quality in the app settings is set to Full Quality, and try using Wi-Fi instead of mobile data to avoid any compression. Also, check that your video is in MP4 format with an H.264 codec, which works best with KZbin. Hope this helps.

[@zakskiver]

Hey, thank you! I will definitely do that. I edit and upload my videos from my Mac, so I’ll check out those settings tomorrow! Thanks for watching!

I don’t understand why you would give a book 4 stars if you didn’t like and didn’t feel it. Even dnf’t it. You should be honest to yourself, such a book doesn’t deserve that kind of rating. A dnf is a 1. A don’t like, don’t feel it , a meh is at most a 2. A 4 is wow this is dope shit, I wanna read the other books as well NOW! I think you’re having booktube peer pressure. Lose it! Make up your mind yourself. Don’t be a parrot in your ratings. We had to read a clockwork orange in our English classes when I was 17 and I thought is was dope. Agreed it can be a bit hard reading having to look up the slang words from time to time, but everybody loved it. I can only thank my English teacher for that.

[@zakskiver]

I never feel peer pressure from book tube, I rate my books however I want because it’s how I rate them. I also said if I revisited the book, it would probably be a 3. I don’t need you to tell me how to rate books. I’m reading the book and I can give it whatever rating I want. In this same video, I said I didn’t like Stormlight archive or WoT which are two booktube darlings.

[@raynahailey]

my fan interactions have been severely lacking

[@zakskiver]

Yes they are. Come on! Not like you have your own life or anything

[@AnonforGod777]

I DnF Stormlight Archive too. Its not good past the 2nd book

[@zakskiver]

Same, I just don’t see the hype behind it. I feel like the books are carried by the last two hundred pages and that’s it.

@@zakskiver about to pick up Justice of Kings

[@zakskiver]

I thought about reading the trilogy, but I got a couple of other series I want to read first. The only issue of being a reader lol

[@Logic105]

WOT is the most overrated series of all time.

[@zakskiver]

Totally agree. I have a very long series coming out in January talking about it.
