NEW READATHON and he wheel was NOT nice ✨ 24 hour readathon August 2024

[@annmoore321]

Honestly, I think making provisions for DNFs in your games would be a good idea. Forcing yourself to read books that you don’t like is a sure fire way to kill your reading enjoyment.

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

I agree. This readathon it was really easy to just count the pages I'd read so far, but I would need to figure out how to make it work with my other game.

[@asfaloth12]

Very fun! I'm glad you DNFed that book. Why waste time on a book you are not enjoying? I'm glad your other books were a bit mor enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

Yes, I agree. And it wasn't a total waste since I could still count the pages, so it worked out well.

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

I am really sorry for being away from your amazing channel but I’m really glad that I am back and looking forward to seeing your amazing videos and content prayers and blessings to you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤

[@KelliJ_]

That book had to be baaaad because I don’t think I’ve ever seen you DNF one. Glad you did! ❤

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

This is the first time I have DNFd a book during a readathon, actually! It was so so so bad, I was in pain!!

[@NateReads93]

This was a really fun twist on a 24hr readathon, I liked that you gave yourself a goal to work towards!! 😊

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

Thanks! I feel like I always read more when I have a goal, or else I will get distracted on social media haha

[@Luna-po5ui]

I think your patrons did you dirty dissuading you from reading Starling House. It's a brilliant audiobook, a fast read, and personally I found it super engaging and very atmospheric. Whereas Fangirl Down.......WELL. You said it all really! arguably my most wretched read of the year

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

haha I needed you on there to guide me in a better direction! I am still planning on reading Starling House. It feels like it would be a good winter read.

[@jaimemo5893]

I just read the Tainted Cup and it was so good! Highly recommend the audiobook. Also, as someone who doesn't read romance I loved Part of Your World.

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

Spoiler for a future video, but I also loved Tainted Cup! Honestly devoured and loved every minute of it.

[@ariemhetareads3996]

After you finished 3 books I was wondering why there were so many minutes left in the video. And then came such a good rant. I'm sorry you had to read that, but the rant was great.

[@erynnm3045]

I'm glad you DNF'd that book. It sounds terrible. I'm amazed you reached your goal! I'm struggling to read a 550 page book, and I've spent the last 4 days reading it, so no way I could finish 1500 pages in 24 hours. lol.nGlad you enjoy! :D

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

haha I am really a binge reader! I go for a week reading nothing then binge 5 books in a weekend. I think readathons were made specifically for me haha

[@AmandasBooktopia]

So glad you enjoyed Part of Your World! It’s a favorite of mine. I decided Tessa Bailey wasn’t the author for me after reading Wreck the Halls. I’ll never read another book from her again.

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

haha I feel like I needed all these comments before I bought that book, but the golf romance drew me in!

[@AmandasBooktopia]

@@stephaniesbookverse1098 Hopefullh you’ll find another golf romance you like better!

[@avsambart]

Of course the wheel picked that option first! My brain first went to "Just read a Stormlight book and novella" 🤣 For Bride, did you feel the Omegaverse-ness of it was more of an introduction / good for beginners or was it deep into the lore and such? 27:45 Girl, it's okay to DNF 😭 it sounds atrocious. It is not very demure 😆 35:57 YES! Thank you patreons! YAY You did it again 😍

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

I think Bride would be perfectly fine if you are not versed in Omegaverse lore for sure. I really enjoyed it. And yes, I think I needed them to push me to DNF, because I was dying!

[@gabriellabatel]

wow, Fan Girl must have been REALLY bad XD

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

SO BAD! Learn from my mistake and skip it.

[@tibbarasden]

I am glad you decided to DNF that book. Great job on the readathon.

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

Thank you! It was such a good decision.

[@michelleschafer8882]

Don’t hold back, how did you really feel about Fangirl Down? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

I mean, I think I could go on, but the video might be an hour long...

[@stephaniecason]

I was hoping you wouldn't pick Fan Girl Down and knew you wouldn't like it. I've never read it but another booktuber I watch also hated it so I knew you would too.

[@AbbySalter]

❤

[@PinkBeautyXx]

Personally I am not a Tessa Bailey fan, a lot of her books made me cringe so hard. Recently, I feel like she is writing whatever is popular but doesn't actually know the ins and out of it. Side Note : absolutely no hate to anyone that loves her, a lot of my friends do and thats totally fair x shes just not for me xx

[@lindsayjardine3376]

Book must of been bad don’t think I have ever seen u dnf a book x

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

I very very rarely DNF books, and I have never DNFd one during a readathon before...it was that bad.

[@dianabumblebottom4598]

I used really like Tessa Bailey, but the last few books of hers I have read, have been AWFUL. The writing was so juvenile.

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

It really was! This is my first book by her but I have no desire to read any more lol
