[@sophiaschienle7460]

Me: "Wow Sashas hair looks great!" Sasha: "Sooo I made a mistake." PS: I love that you're trying to make your channel more you and adding a few extra topics we guys can all talk about ❤️

[@abookutopia]

Sophia Schienle hahaha I messed up BIG time but hey! Happy mistakes! And I’m so happy you think this, makes me smile!

[@abookutopia]

TBH nervous posting this and I don’t know why but I’m here and so happy to be back!!!!!

[@relc1705]

Aww don’t be nervous! Thanks for coming back!

[@georgiefarr1094]

Welcome back Sasha. Love u 😘😘🌸🌸

[@laurenditzel4283]

I’m glad you’re back Sasha! ❤️

[@nightowlcherry]

welcome back!! i loved your life update and your outlook on things, i feel very similar right now ❤

[@meep2325]

Always happy to have ya back darling! 💖💕

[@megan1895]

The queen is back!! You’re the person who introduced me to booktube; you’re such an inspiration and I’m so so glad you’re back! We’re completely fine with what you want to share and keep private, of course, and we love you.

[@forireadandfly4873]

TRUE, Sasha introduced me too and I became so invested that now I have started a booktube channel myself.

[@tashapolis]

I’m here for new Sasha! Although you’ve always just been my Sasha, you’re growing up, and I love the woman you are becoming. I’m so proud of you and I know your mama would be, too ❤️

[@wilsondeshawn6847]

I dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

[@dalaciaj]

Sasha: but the box said It’d be “Honey Mist Auburn!!” 😞😩🥺 Me: Well, honey. You missed auburn big time 👁👄👁 It looks so good and I love this filming setup. I’m so excited for new content ❤️❤️

[@yriafehtivan]

I wondered if anyone was gonna make that joke!

[@LiveLikeM]

Best. Comment. Ever.

[@ZarriahRose]

“I’m not the old Sasha” and thank goodness!!! Life is ABOUT growth, what a concerning thing it would be if you were the same as when you started. ❤️ this video is lovely and so are you!! :)

[@aspiringauthorerinrail2890]

Exactly, I changed so much, since I have been on BookTube, and I am okay with that, it's called being an adult. These haters don't understand Sasha! If they don't support her lifestyle change, then they're not real fans of her tbh

[@madisonpena9984]

ahh finally! the queen is BACK p.s. love your new approach/outlook, it's unrealistic to believe that over years people are going to stick to the same patterns/attitude - it's so nice to hear more of this perspective

[@abookutopia]

Awwww thanks Madison!

[@aksa_zehra]

I was obsessed with your channel few years back when I also used to binge read. But then I stopped reading as much and also stopped watching videos on this channel. Because I didnt connect with the content as much. So happy with this video. Excited for all the content to come.

[@abigase135]

same here, I stopped watching her videos but to be fair she didn't seem into making them too and I think we got that vibe. She seems better and that makes me happy!

[@ReadingUnderTheStars.3637]

I think it’s a perfect shade ( it doesn’t look brown) it looks dark red

[@ozumylmaz6434]

Just before you started talking about your hair, ı was thinking of asking you which color did you use cause it is a perfect red-brown

[@maritzagonzalez7636]

Jesus when you said you were 23 years old I remembered when I started watching your videos when you still lived with you dad. I just turned 18... that was 7 years ago... 😱😱 okay I obviously have no sense of time.

[@claudiaramirez3783]

Sasha, I started watching you when I was 18, now I am 23, and I can say that I am not the person I used to be. We are allowed to change, to mature, to find inspiration in things or situations we didn't expect to find it before. We may even now like what we didn't like before. Happy you're back! Btw, that hair color looks beautiful!

[@raydea2247]

When we are younger we usually take some personality trait that we randomly got and build our lives around it, as we grow old other traits starts to show and it's hard to make place for them when our lives are simply another thing. In adulthood we need to adapt

[@laramelo362]

i’m curious tho. what did you guys do with the book’s jackets? lol did you keep them somewhere or threw it away?

[@marie5608]

i was thinking the same thing! hoping that they're okay hehe

[@leireadsandrates1617]

Me tooo!!! What happened to the sleeves

[@amelievangyseghem4620]

I hate sleeves or slipcases so I throw them away directly. A book is a hundred times better looking naked.

[@princessplam]

I can’t believe you’re hair is a mistake. I think it’s such a good look. I miss how much you used to post but whatever happens happens. Also I dint read as much as I used to either. I just like your voice so I’m excited to hear it. If you decide to make soap and narrate it, that’s fine with us all

[@vanessabarker4219]

I think we are all struggling with quarantine right now so I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you not seeing your boyfriend during all of this, hoping you and Taran will get to see each other sooner rather than later ❤️ But so glad to see you back on KZbin! I love how the bookshelves turned out!!

[@lizziehart6620]

Yay!! I missed your videos!! Do what makes you feel good!❤️❤️ I’ve been watching your old videos to distract me from this whole quarantine situation😂😭 hope everyone is staying safe and healthy out there

[@abookutopia]

lizzie hart Aw well I hope you like the new videos I’ll be dropping in!!!! 😘

[@thinanguyen5928]

i watched you growing up and i reverently revisited your channel and it’s so comforting just hearing you talk

[@sasha4246]

Youre making my quarantine so much better, thank you so much!

[@abookutopia]

Sasha we are in this together!!!!

[@aylin1463]

I just recently subscribed again to you, I used to watch u a lot when I was in middle school and I also used to read all the time. After I started high school I fell out of reading as well but now I’m in college and trying to get back to it and it’s just so nostalgic seeing your content again and seeing how you’ve grown

[@devil220099]

Welcome back so happy to see you...can I just say I've never been so happy to hear you are not reading as much either as I've got older I stopped reading as much and I felt there was something wrong and it was bad that I wasn't reading so from the bottom of my heart thank you....from amy

[@georgiefarr1094]

I'm going to watch all of your old bookshelf organisation videos because so much has changed. And your bookshelf tour videos. They're one of my favourite videos to watch 😘😘😘

[@abookutopia]

Georgie Farr awwww yay!!!!

[@Jillian_Van]

Welcome back! You’ve been dearly missed! 😊

[@abookutopia]

Jillian_Van aww that means a lot Jillian, ❤️

[@eleanorhenderson9896]

The changes to your channel sound awesome ! You do you girl ! It sounds like PeruseProject’s channel now which I love ! It’s a mix of books, fashion, vlogs of her life and New York etc

[@drew989]

idk if youre interested, but re: donating your books- prisons are usually looking for paperback books to donate bc there's not usually a lot of money for educational materials like books! (definitely check w your local prison before donating to make sure they have the room)

[@ButterflyLullabyLtd]

The hair looks amazing. Love the room. Very arty. Good luck with everything you do. :)

[@ClassyCarlaa]

Another awesome video! I missed seeing you on KZbin thank you for another video

[@bookishnatie9614]

I am happy your back. You are suppose to change in your 20s 😀 its part of it. I take breaks from reading in between and switch hobbies up its helping me during this time. Staying inside is heaven for me. Watch movies helps.

[@SilkeWM]

I am so honored that you were able to find inspiration in my bookshelf organization! The inspiration picture is from my instagram account @silkreads, which has loads of other bookish content :)) Absolutely love the result!

[@emlaur3000]

I think it does look more adult. Not because of the colors necessarily, but because there’s less variation. A minimalist look which I think is equated in general with maturity and an adulthood. Love it! Thought I would try this till I realized I have too many paperbacks lol

[@hannahclairereads7835]

Yes, Sasha! We are people with responsibilities first and bookworms second! I sometimes feel pressured to read certain books and read a certain amount, but I’m in school and deal with chronic migraines. It’s not always possible to keep up with a readathon or an editing schedule because life happens. I’m happy that you’ve been able to work through things on your own.

[@moongirl8807]

Omg I love how 13:50 looks but it gives me major anxiety, how will you be able to ever find a book there again?

[@Angelaevi]

I am only 12 and i subscribed, watched most of your reviews, and loved all the books you have read. When i grow up, i wanna be like you, living with basically a library becuase reading is life! I already have a shelf full of books, so i will continue collecting the books i like best ( cuz Asian parents dont like wasting money on books ), and i will pass them down when i have children.

[@joker6-6]

The Queen is back, that's what i'm talking about! ♥️🌻📚😃

[@ang6917]

your channel brings me back to such a good time of my life

[@JasperandSpice]

Agh I love this video! Thank you for taking time for yourself, coming back and speaking about your journey. It affirms a lot for me and I'm so keen to see what other content you have in store for us xxx

[@shaylaatiles]

I can’t believe people think one person will stay the same forever. A person experiences new changes, they meet new people. They gain new ideas and beliefs. Of course they’re not gonna stay the same! You go, Sasha! Looking forward to your new content 🧡

[@abookutopia]

Thanks Shayla!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@oliviadouglas9474]

I have been following you since mortal instruments. I would read so many books that time and I’m currently 24 and barely read books. But I’m really happy with where I am.

[@thebrightmoonreader5806]

you don't have to apologize at all, I'm so so so glad you're back!💛 can't wait to see more from you!

[@nowzenbackgroundmusicwhite5176]

I never really comment on videos, but I've been subscribed to your channel since your second year of posting them. I just wanted to share some thoughts: -your positivity and honesty about life has inspired me to be more positive and authentic in my own -anytime someone shares who they are, it's brave because they're being vulnerable, and whenever you share parts of yourself/things that you love, I'm impressed at the courage it takes for you to break out of the niche comfort zone on order to be true to yourself -your hair looks amazing; some mistakes are great ideas that came a little later than the action -your books are riveting -I'm SO EXCITED FOR PROJECT RED!!!!! -I look up to you in so many ways, and I'm grateful to have more to look up to with each year as you grow into who you want to be

[@briannam9298]

I’m just happy you’re back! I hate that you feel like you need to apologize for growing and maturing 🥺 GIRL!!! You’re thriving and it’s great to see. I’m sorry you’ve had so much on your plate, Quarantine is hard! 😔

[@itscatherinemonroe1]

you look so good with dark hair!! please do a makeup tutorial and fashion videos because your outfit's on point (: and welcome back. i've been following you for years and it doesn't feel weird to me that you're changing because it's just a part of growing up (i'm 24, so i kind of changed alongside you in a way hahaha).

[@katarinateslar]

Kate Cooper Same. I’m 24. And I have had such a struggle within the year after high school/teen because once you’re an adult life is HARD. If someone says it’s easy for them it’s only famous people 😂. I am still trying to figure out relationship problems and other things. But the most important is yourself and mental health. I have also find myself and who I want to be. That’s the struggle for everyone to do. I have also now starting reading more and getting my reading slump better ☺️❤️

[@itscatherinemonroe1]

@@katarinateslar Haha, it's definitely hard, especially once you have to find a job. And i used to read all the time when i was younger, then i got to a point where i was constantly in reading slumps and i finally got better with time (:

[@alec4733]

A few things to say, first of all you look beautiful like truly beautiful. Second I love the frame, everything is so aesthetic and perfect WOW! Third, I'm so excited for you to upload more & lastly I'm so into you “bringing more sasha” to the channel we will love you to share your new passions besides books! Love you so much & so excited to be part of this new chapter in your channel! 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@marinemmmj]

I'm so happy that you're back! But taking time off to just get to know yourself is totally valid!! I'm excited to see videos about all the topics you mentioned 😊

[@jeimyreid]

Here is the thing sasha, for me at least Ive been following you for yearssss i mean back in the clary fray days and when i say i miss the old sasha i dont mean the sasha that would read a book a day I mean the sasha that loved books, that was excited about books and reading and in your past videos it seemed like you were holding back or just not so into it, in this video I feel like youre coming back. You were missed ❤️

[@sheelinf2471]

I love you no matter what.

[@ClaireKantz]

so stoked about this new 'era' of sasha! youtube has missed you girly!

[@alysonserenastone2917]

Wait! Your hair was a mistake! It's a shade for you! I really am looking forward to the new content and seeing how your life is changing. It's okay to change. You are getting older and growing up; it's okay. Don't be so hard on yourself. I personally like how you have grown over the years. :)

[@HallieNSheehan]

I miss her

[@sumchow]

I’m so excited for you to be back! I love your videos! 😊

[@abookutopia]

GirlWhoLovesMalfoy thank you!!! So happy to be back!

[@skruzdeliukasali]

I've never been this early :D So excited for a new video ^_^

[@inabookshell]

Missed your videos Sasha! Can't wait for the videos you have in store! Btw, I love your hair!!

[@evabellapleko]

This author is great. Did you maybe read any of her books? Her writing is amazing, fun and mind-blowing. You fall in love with all the characters This book was a glorious adventure sprinkled with slowly yet adorable steamy romance. Her world is pure magic with imaginative, complex fantasy worlds that leaves you starstruck. It is shame no one has written a review of her books and writting style. I am in love with all her books: www.goodreads.com/author/show/8546572.Annette_Marie Especially the series: www.goodreads.com/series/279160-guild-codex-universe

[@AJ14music]

So glad to have you back! You were the first KZbin channel I ever loved and having you back is just a blessing ♥️ I’m so excited for what’s to come ! Keep safe

[@changnesia1044]

I'm so so happy that more booktubers are talking about this pressure they feel to read books. I feel a lot of you get to a point where you feel like you have to read books more as a chore rather than a pleasure. I'm happy you are evolving as a reader and as a person, with growth a change in our general taste or preference in many things come to a change, and that is ok. if you don't feel like reading at all for some time, or if a book doesn't interest you and you wanna put it down, that is your right to do so. Excited to see what you will be bringing to your channel in the future! :)

[@thebookchatter3074]

I knew I recognized that bookshelf photo you were inspired by. It is from Danish Bookstagrammer Silkreads and I loved those shelves so much.

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

It's sweet that you want to apologize, but you shouldn't have to do that, because people shouldn't give you a hard time for changing and growing. It's great to see you again and I'm looking forward to all your videos.

[@lauragimenacaceres1459]

Oh my god i stopped watching your videos AND booktube in general cause i started college AND stopped reading. I have changed a Lot in this time cause *growing yo* and found your video now again out of nowhere AND i cant find a more relatable time to watch this. I didnt know i missed you so much. Love from Argentina, keep on doing this AND showing the new you 💖💖

[@smallvilleisdabomb]

First off welcome back! And secondly I love the bookshelves! Very pleasing to look at.

[@yabookprincess]

if you still have the books you want to give away, please film a book unhaul video

[@yuliasejdi1099]

Yay, so excited to see you back posting, love new ideas and decor, it's gonna be awesome And Project Red is totally getting published!!!🙃

[@musicandloveismylive]

Hey Sasha, I saw that you used that picture with the inspiration from pinterest but I actually follow to person who made the photos on Insta. You could possibly give a shout if you wanted to. Here you have the link to her account instagram.com/silkreads?igshid=nwz8p5afvdjk Thanks for the great video!!

[@monkeypants2066]

I wish I was as put together as you. 😂 My house is mismatched as crap and has no athstetic. And I have no fashion. I'm so lazy in that sense. I'm stoked to see how your channel changes and grows. ❤ Aaaaand, the hair looks awesome.

[@aspiringauthorerinrail2890]

Good for you Sasha! I'm the same, I'm not the reader/bookish person that I used to be, I feel that you're right, adulthood makes you grow up and find new interests, but while keeping your same interests at heart, just not as much as it used to be. Like I have new interests, like sports and other things, but I am still a reader and writer. I am not the same person that I used to be, and that's okay. I loved this video, thanks for shedding some light on all this stuff. Rock on girl!

[@Brianbloggs]

Great video. Very raw and real and in depth. Fab keep up the good work. Hoping your coping with covid19 isolation and lockdown

[@TeeGiovanna]

do what ever you want! its awesome to be so honest with your viewers. I can only say that I would come to your account because I cared so much about your opinion about books! I felt like we had such similar bookish opinions, other people may feel the same way. Excited to see what's to come with your channel.

[@SashalovesBooks]

It's wondeful video about your bookshelves ❤️😍

[@roseadams9532]

I am so happy that you are back...you were the first person to get me into booktube and I just recently started my own channel because you all inspire me so much...its beauty and books if you want to check it out...i hope you are staying safe and sane

[@kennedieburston2065]

It's funny because I LOVE your hair! Also, like you said we all get older and grow as people, none us should be the same exact person that we were 1-3 years ago. I know I'm not! I'm 24 and I started watching you when we were both basically 15 and it's like we grew up together! 😊 Love you girl, keeping the boss that you are. ❤️

[@anagiron5502]

Omg yasss I can’t wait for this new chapter! You look amazing girl!

[@pshkng]

I don’t know if you have but can you do a review on the empirium trilogy, the crown of shards series, or the ash princess series? Thank You! :)

[@mdmlr1]

Please don't say you're sorry. You are not doing anything wrong. You are doing amazing and you're my inspiration.

[@hotpriestess]

I think I've never really expressed this but I have following your journey since your channel had around 5000 subscribers. I found you because you shared my obsession with the mortal instruments and followed you basically through high school, college, Scotland and beyond. I'm happy that you're back girl, I am looking forward to seeing where you're life journey will lead you to! I also believe that it's not only normal that we change and grow up but it's necessary and I believe that this is even more difficult being a youtuber. I am really happy that you were ready to express your feelings on our channel, sasha! can't wait for more content, whatever genre that might fit into.

[@jasreetkaur6369]

so so so excited about all the future content you'll be uploading!!

[@kocsishedvig]

thank you, i needed this. ive been in a reading slump since 2018 :(

[@lucassperotto8151]

Simplesmente obrigado. (Thank you)

[@lilpup27]

Honestly I LOVE your hair! I think it looks even better than your normal color

[@strikermindtv.1293]

nice blog video and you are so,,,so,beautiful god bless you girl.

[@femkevanthoff6307]

Love the corner you’re sitting in! All the details make it seem so cozy...

[@Sarasstorytime22]

You already color coded your bookshelves once and you said you hated it because you could never find the book you were looking for.

[@thebookbelle]

Hooray you're back!! Fab video lovely and I can't wait for new vids

[@jimcowhand1749]

Love your hair!!! 👸🏻💖💕💕💕📚📚 Welcome back!!! 📚📚📚 anyone else reading "Dune" getting ready for the new Timothee Chalamet movie (hopefully still this year!!)

[@abookutopia]

Jim Cowhand thank you!

[@joanwatsonia]

Just wanted to say, I'm excited about the changes that are to come with this channel. They all sound amazing!!! Also, I feel like the transition that you're referring to is actually not that strange for me but I think that's because I've been following you on Instagram for a while so maybe it just makes sense for me. Oh, and btw your hair looks gorgeous, as per usual so don't worry, even if it's not what you intended it still looks glorious. Can't wait for what's to come

[@booksandbargains]

Im a new subscriber so lovely to meet you :)

[@Lushkinn]

Love you Sasha!! I’ll watch any video you do, book related or not! Because I watch your channel for YOU!

[@tianatelegone1157]

Are you still thinking of living in Scotland?

[@morgoodguy2456]

Has anyone been ordering books? How safe is it? And how do I sanitise it?

[@angelazambrano2360]

i think this is the best hair color you have ever had! its fits you so much better

[@debbielawrence2038]

Your hair is not a mistake..It's so pretty ♥️

[@miritdawoud6733]

Change isn't bad, change is growth and that is great.

[@TheHG12]

Hey Sasha! I’ve been a fan of yours for awhile. Since The Mortal Instruments Instagram days. I even met you once, not sure if you’ll remember it but it was in line at Rue21 waiting to get the wristbands to meet the cast of The Mortal Instruments movie! I just wanted to say that I’ve changed so so much from that girl as well and you don’t need to apologize for that! Be who you are and if people don’t like it than too bad! Thanks for always being a role model for me and putting out great content!! (PS I love the hair!)

[@eeeshieee]

AHHHH! I’m so happy you finally posted!! :-) this just gave me 9th grade esha vibes, because that’s when i started watching ur videos! it’s crazy cause that was in 2014-2015, and now I’m a freshman at university now... gosh, how time flies!!! honestly tho, so glad you’re coming back to YT! 😊💜💜💜 I’m so excited for all of the new things/videos you have planned - especially for the skincare/fashion, because as I’m getting older, I’m starting to love that stuff as well! also - can I just say THAT I STAN NEW SASHAAA???👌🏼💖💖

I haven’t checked your channel for YEARS! 🙀 and i’m so happy for your change. it’s a good one, i love it! you don’t have to apologise for anyone, but it’s nice that you did. waiting for new content soon🧡 i’m excited for it✨
