you are not the only one, i’m in the middle of 15 if not more and just started another book today😩🤦🏽‍♀️

[@HalJones]

Omg THANK YOU!!! Bc I really had the audacity to start another book after recording this video LMAO?!

[@ashlyh3591]

Ahaha I love it! I do this until I really feel a book then go from there

[@aberry7415]

So glad I'm no the only one here.

[@juliacash8135]

@@HalJones what book did you start after this video? Also you’re not the only one to start a lot of things. I’m in the middle of 20 series and need to finish them all.

[@HalJones]

@@juliacash8135 I started the Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee!! It’s SO good so far!

[@Ylimeable777]

If I was in the middle of this many books I do not know whether or not I would be able to remember where I was in each of them, let alone have enough bookmarks to keep my spot in each of them! Hopefully you are able to get through some of them this month.

[@jenntruong6023]

That is exactly how I feel too; I choose to read one book at a time. If I am not enjoying a book, I will dnf it and then move on to the next!

[@SadeLesch]

Binding 13 will emotionally wreck you but its so worth it!! PLEASE do a reading vlog of it!!

[@HalJones]

Ahhhhh i feel like I think I’m ready but I’m really not LOL will def have to record it!! 🫶🏼

[@jessicaallard9453]

You are definitely not alone with being in the middle of a bunch of books! I am a "serial starter" of books and will just keep starting more and more if I do not physically stop myself 😅 At this point it has become normal in my brain to be in the middle of at least five or six books, so I keep giving myself permission to start another when I have finished one even though I claim my goal is to work my way down to maybe being in the middle of only two lol! OH well! If it's wrong I don't want to be right!! 🤣

[@orphicoups2006]

I'm currently in the middle of 4 books which is pretty tame for me. Normally it's around 8. I'm a mood reader at heart!!!

[@isabelly9246]

i usually restrain myself to 3 or 4 books at a time, but i relate to wanting to start other books bc even though the ones i'm reading are good, i want options. my boyfriend really doesnt get it, everytime i start a new one he asks if the other one wasnt good and i have to explain it is, i will finish it (eventually)!!!

[@leen34568]

i love it when you describe books without giving us anything. it’s the best part about watching booktube

[@Juliette-ytbookgirlie]

Just discovered your channel and I’m already in love ❤You are just so relatable 😅

Im about to finish Ruthless Vows and it’s sooooo good! Excited for you 🫶

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Good luck with your reading this month!

[@ashlyh3591]

I’m the same! I cant stop starting new books before I finish the others!

[@HalJones]

It’s so hard!! lol

[@_RWLJ]

Miss your videos! However, it’s important to take a break if it’s needed - it shows that you care about your audience ❤️ Don’t feel pressured or stressed to ”return” just because you haven’t posted in a while, we are here when the time is right for YOU! 🥰✨

[@HalJones]

Thank you so much for saying this it means so much 🥹🫶🏼

[@Kittyzero13426]

Haha XD I think I am in the middle of 6 books at the moment and going on a great pace for my May TBR. I usually pick 4 books that I need to read each month since I am a pick mood reader and have a 2 year old and 7 year old.

[@jociimarie]

I just finished the only one left and up until the last page had me hooked!! Once you get into it you won’t be able to put it down

[@TrynaFindAngel]

Stop everything I was doing to watch this!❤

[@TheFonzieCommunity]

I’d love for AAPI week, but I understand if you can’t do it this time!! Aside from that I love this tbr video, and your other videos of course. Also damn you got a lot to read in your in the middle list tbr, hopefully you finish a lot of them. I’ve been getting through some of mine via Libby, because I don’t have the money in my budget to get the book’s physically for myself; and most audio books are good for me. I just finished check and mate by Ali hazelwood, and I loved it!!! I rarely tear up, but the part near the end got me; and I kinda want a sequel!!

[@mildrumpus]

I discovered your channel through this video. "The Only One Left" and "Magnolia Parks" are both on my TBR as well. Hope you have a great month. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

Youre not alone lol! I start a lot of books depending what i feel like. I have like 10 unfinished some even at the 80% mark 😭

[@HalJones]

Ugh yes!!! And I love doing it because reading whatever is in the mood for is just more fun lol but then I get stressed out by how many books are sitting on my nightstand 😂

girl i finished Powerful in the span of 3 hours. i was LOCKED in. I absolutely loved hearing Mak and Adena's story. It was written so beautifully and i sobbed. also i need a hair tutorial bc your curls looks so so good today!!

[@brooke.michele]

[@brooke.michele]

ya know... its a little unhinged but i highly doubt you are alone in it i always have at least 2 books going (one physical and one on kindle) but have had up to 5. i make sure they are different genres so that i can mood read a bit.

[@wolfme4030]

It’s not unhinged at all. The amount of books maybe more than I myself am in the middle of, but I’m pretty certain that it will be less than others. The term you were looking for earlier in the video is Magical Realism. If you like magical realism, you may enjoy the Practical Magic series which they made a movie years ago with Sandra Bullock, Aiden Quinn and Nicole Kidman.😢

@@HalJones You deserve it! Keep chasing your dreams ✨👑

[@ReaderandWriter.]

A lot of people are mad that the second book in a series is not the same size as the first. Like they switch publishers and those people decide to make them smaller. Keep them the same size! How hard is it to keep it the same?! It is what people want! We have spoken, hear us! It's like me with Emily Henry. Happy place was my first book of hers that I read and it's hardback. The other books were paper back so I changed the books when I knew Happy Place was going to be in paperback. Come to find out that paperback size was the same size as the hardback and the other books of hers were smaller, thus keeping the same problem! With Funny story, I'm going to have to go the UK route and buy the paperback. The same with Not in Love, A Novel Love Story coming out in June. All in paperback on Blackwells. I have auto-buy authors and if I can't buy a paperback then I will wait and hope they are the same size. Or just order from the UK. Funny story is offered as paperback on Amazon but it's large print. No. I mostly listen to new releases on Audible and buy the books when I get to it. I love me my audiobook trophies. Listen for the Lie is my newest one. And I only keep books I love and will re-read again on my shelves. The others are donated.

[@priscilla8094]

So me. I’m in the middle of about 9 books, mood reader life 😅

[@beautifulmama862]

Girl I'm mood reading and have about 6 books I'm currently reading lol ❤❤❤❤ I just feel like I'm in such a slump and mood reading is my best bet but I just can't read a book straight through....I'm currently reading a true crime/ history book called the complete history of Jack the ripper.....I've also been into autobiographies but I feel like a bad reading slump is coming so im trying to avoid that but anyways love your video have missed you xx sending love

[@HalJones]

Omg yes you get me!! LOL I really want to read the stalking Jack the Ripper series by Kerri maniscalco!! I hope you are able to avoid the slump though!!! 🩷💕

[@beautifulmama862]

Love love love that series 😍❤ hope you get to it soon.....thanks girl

[@thedraculivia]

I thought is it just me reading like 15 books at a time 😂😅

[@sherriewhite5348]

Baby girl, trust me when I say, Binding 13 might be set in high school, but the topics are very ADULT! Trust me when I say, be prepared to have your heart ripped out, stomped on, put back together and then ripped out again with keeping 13! Saving & Redeeming 6 are EVERYTHING! Taming 7 is, well, not what I expected, but still a solid 4! Enjoy 😘😘😘

[@marycrouch704]

Do not come for me but I didn't really enjoy Emily Henry her books. help do I keep reading her books or do I stop? ( I have read People we meet on vacation and Beach Read)

[@HalJones]

Maybe try her newest release or happy place?! I know I have heard people say those two are written kind of differently from the other ones!!

[@ashlyh3591]

It’s the Puget Sound - Puget is pronounced pyoo-jit

[@HalJones]

Omg thank you!!

[@HalJones]

Yeah I do have a kindle! (: I read both physical and ebooks!

[@leen34568]

i don’t want you to start your Emily Henry journey with Funny Story😭 (don’t get me wrong it’s a great book.) you should read everyone’s favorite a.k.a Beach Read first.

[@jenntruong6023]

I actually read first and liked "Happy Place". Second favorite read was "People We Meet on Vacation" and now will read "Funny Story"

[@LotteAtena]

whenever I watch one of your videos and hear the comparison people make I am in awe... how? Mindf*ck is not close to B&B. Sure, serial unalivers and that's it. Mindf*ck is heavy and dark ( not really dark romance tho' ). Both books are beautiful, but MF is not gonna make you laugh or giggle.

[@alanissophia9728]

Ok I don’t feel as bad about the 5 I’m currently reading 🤍🤍🤍
