Meg, you showing your struggles to us just makes you feel like a real person we can all relate to, and I personally would never abandon someone for being more relatable! Please don't feel like you have to "be a certain way" for us. We love you as you are!! Hugs from across the pond!

[@SkyeMoore-yk2mj]

Please never finish a book because you feel like you have to if it’s triggering for you!! We all care about you and want you to be safe and happy 🩷

[@cleg78]

Great video, you are worrying for nothing my lovely. Everyone has their own stresses and strains in life. You do well to hide what you are going through. We all think you are amazing, if you need a break take one because we will all still be around xx

[@barbrowe8846]

I have been watching your videos for a few years now, I just wanted to let you know you make my day brighter. You said you were concerned about how you are coming across, to me you are doing great. You're one of the most authentic people on KZbin. Keep up the good job. ❤

[@kylierussell0207]

Just wanted to say I literally joined your Patreon about a month ago because I like you as a person! Not because of how bubbly or “on” you are. I think you do a good job of being yourself and that’s what the right people are drawn to. I hope you give yourself some grace because we all go through peaks and valleys. ❤❤

[@elxnita]

Oh meg I am devastated that Butter wasn't a hit 😭😭 I am so sorry for putting you through that

[@Hillary429]

You can always go the other way with it and make a vlog like “sad girl reads sad books” and just fully indulge how you’re feeling.. hope Rora is doing better, so stressful 😿

[@bethanamyh]

you are the THIRD book tuber I've seen say that Butter is unnecessarily long and therefore didn't enjoy it, don't stress, one less book I have to add to my TBR 🤣

[@_daniela_s]

I think if you'd allow yourself to dnf books like butter it would potentially help get you over a slump or at least not make it worse, especially if its contents made you feel bad. Imagine in that time you could have started reading your next 5 star book 🎉 I also think all your videos are fun, don't be too hard on yourself ❤ Hope you feel better soon, bad mental health is a b*! ❤

[@trinforeman54]

You're great and your mental health is more important than our entertainment. Here for the long run. Take care of yourself.

[@MelsShelves]

As someone who also struggles with food extremes and anxiety, “excessive food discussions” is a trigger for me as well! My first interaction with it was the first few pages in Milkfed by Melissa Broder for a Bookclub and that was the beginning of the end for me. Stay away from things that make you feel awful, not worth finishing a book if you’re triggered by it, babe! Especially not for us! ♥️

[@valentineboudaud1887]

The new Bridget Collins, the silence factory, was sooo good ! A gothic obsession story with a creepy factory, a silk making people crazy and a deeply flawed main character, plus immaculate writing style !

[@mercurymorning1]

Meg I just wanted to comment to say don’t worry about being honest in videos about how you’re feeling (within your comfort levels of course) - firstly when you’re feeling rubbish I don’t think anyone here would want you to expend energy pretending and making yourself potentially feel worse just to entertain us - secondly sometimes the highs and lows in terms of enjoying or not enjoying what you’re reading can be entertaining too if you’re worried about that. Also please don’t be afraid to dnf a book that’s affecting your mental health like Butter seemed to. That can be equally informative for us to know - I’m glad you mentioned all the issues you had with it because now I know it’s definitely not the book for me! I hope you’re feeling a lot better, hang in there. ❤

[@Loonadance1212]

I think allowing yourseld to dnf books woule help you so much. Dont let books make you feel that way, no one here will be mad if you dnf, on the contrary we will be happy for you!

[@gabbyreads]

What a bummer about Butter haha I was so excited for that one too!! The premise sounded so interesting 😭

[@sarahhansen8004]

We’re here for all the versions of you ☺️ don’t ever feel the need to twist yourself in a knot trying to entertain your viewers. You’re enough just the way you are!

[@samileigh2370]

I’m a pretty recent subscriber - within the last 2 months. The reason I subscribed was because of your joyful, effervescent personality. If this is you at your worst, I’m so excited to see you when you think you’re at your best. Keep putting positivity into the world. I know you put a smile on my face with every video. Thanks for being authentic!! 💞💞

[@heatherbocks]

Feel you ❤ the only thing that has ever triggered me in a book was the ED stuff in I’m Glad my Mom Died. “She just makes a fucking turkey at the end” 😂😂😂

[@jerrahuckins8777]

Hun are you kidding. You are a joy anytime. Do what you need to do for you and we will still be here.

[@avsambart]

If it makes you feel better Butter in Japanese is 460 pages which is RARE and it's super long in Japanese too! A normal book in Japan floats around 200 pages.

[@7GeorgeB1]

Pleaseeee read Nightwatching it's been my favourite read of the year so far! So good!

[@whitleyysuereads]

You’re doing amazing, sweetie! I still look forward to every upload. Everyone struggles and we appreciate you being open and honest. Sending all my love!! ❤

[@a.mpersands]

I felt the same about How to Solve Your Own Murder! Solid 3.75 to me-I think ambitious is a good word for it. I’ll read more in the series! And a GGGTM vlogs would be much appreciated!!

[@louise5493]

I got an Audio ARC for How To Solve Your Own Murder and agree with what you're saying! I also give it 4 stars, it was enjoyable but took me a while to get through for the sheer amount of characters and family links I had to keep track of!😂 My fave 2024 release this year has been Just For The Summer by Abby Jimenez! I'm a horror/fantasy girlie usually but Abby Jimenez just has a hold over me I swear😅

[@faye13l]

My favourite 2024 releases have been Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth, Night Watching by Tracy Sierra and Middle of the Night by Riley Sager

[@erilyda]

It’s not just you. I just finished Butter and borderline hated it.

[@ellereadsalottt]

The only 2024 release I’ve liked has been The Black Girl Survives in this One which I was not expecting to love as it’s a YA(!) horror anthology 😅😊

[@JulianaJenkinsofbooksandmen]

I love the concept of this video! would love more roulette style reading vlogs !

[@maristocraticreads1219]

Be kind to yourself, you are lovely and everyone has their lows. There's been so much happening for you that balancing it all can be difficult!! ❤️❤️❤️ I've read one release for 2024 so far but I'm bad at knowing new releases anyway so it's fine 😂 I do have a few I'm kinda hoping to read soon, HTSYOM being one of them! Sorry that Butter didn't hit the mark, but you'll find your next 5 ⭐in no time, I'm sure!

[@cat.book.nook.]

As a person who's struggled with anxiety and depression for whole life, I personally appreciate people talking about mental health! I've felt much worse when I was in a phase of 'it's just me who's struggling'. I hope you're gonna be better soon!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Butter sounded like it would be good… I hate long chapters though, I feel ya

[@marshagartner9580]

I love watching you!

[@anthropomorphicpeanut6160]

I hope things go better for you ❤️

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

Sunday is quickly becoming my favorite day for KZbin. So many awesome videos dropped today!

[@heabooktubes]

I love your videos and I hope things improve for your soon. ♥

[@samworley3960]

megan we love you no matter what!! my fav booktuber without a doubt please don’t even stress 🫶🏻

[@magda_mf]

You're doing great! ❤

[@Alex18630]

As someone who also has certain types of relationships with food…. I’d be interested to hear what other people are going through so I can learn ❤

[@katrinaandallthebooks7993]

Very tempted to read AGGGTM as I’m in a bit of a rut. Best 2024 book is Girls by Kirsty capes but I haven’t read many.

[@meggamillion2014]

Love you, Meg! You always come across so bubbly and silly & bring that to my own life and I appreciate it so much! Always giggling along with you. Equally, it’s comforting to hear those you admire are… genuine. Never apologize for your experiences! I’m personally so with you. 🐼

[@alison12171]

I just love your freckles so much

[@madisonbutler3874]

I loved The Paradise Problem!

[@chriscze6153]

You being honest about what you're reading is great to see, if it's a negative review that's fine too. No worries! My favorite 2024 release so far is The New Seoul Park Jelly Massacre by Cho Yeeun, a Korean literary horror novel. Not for everyone, but very quirky, entertaining, and some very moving parts to it as well

[@Alex18630]

We love you Meg no matter what ❤

[@robyntotheTee]

Meg, I love your videos. You are so relatable and feel sincere, authentic. I click on your videos as soon I see the notification because you are a joy to watch. I hope you will continue to be you and I hope you still enjoy what you get out of making videos.

[@heidiwarner1017]

Sending positive vibes your way for a better next read, for rora’s health and for you ❤

[@rubymcdime7382]

Oh my gosh, you’re still so fun! And you are allowed to have struggles and bad moods anyway, we like you as you are! (Incidentally Warm Hands is my favorite book of the year so far too ❤)

[@crushgoil]

Just for the Summer is my favourite 2024 release for sure!!

[@James_Cooper]

sorry you haven't been the best but showing your true self is so brave and relatable too, will definitely be sticking around cause your videos are so much fun and i love the uniqness to booktube you bring! my fave 2024 release and (and best overall) has to be one love by matt cain its a love story but not like one you've experienced before i was obsessed

[@lillyleveque5812]

I'm so sorry you have been struggling! There's no need to apologize. We all struggle and you are doing great with the videos. I'd watch anything you post because I love your personality. Don't be so hard on yourself, just do what you need to do to get to the other side ❤

[@Kronkgirl]

I've had that happen before. I don't really get triggered but Ninth House triggered me and I dnf'd it. I won't pick it back up. It's ok to dnf

[@genevieve2486]

caricanread on here had to DNF butter because it made her have the same weird/bad feelings around food that you talked about so I don’t think it’s that abnormal of a reaction, appreciate you being honest with your struggles around that

[@aspenblair5099]

Meg- you are amazing!! We will always be here for you :) if you need to take time off for mental health, or even just want a small break, we will all still be here when you get back ❤️

[@FaeryLaume]

We all have ups and downs, please be real, much better for your mental health. I'm in a teensy reading slump because the book I'm reading, while not terrible, and while it has some interesting things about it, is still not engaging me like the book I finished last. I'm just trying to finish it now so I can pick something up I can get lost in, instead of reading like I'm a beta reader. I think part of the problem is I need a switch in genre, I'm craving "summer reading" (whatever that means) and I'm still reading "spring" books.

[@JadeJuniiper]

I adore you no matter how you’re feeling. I hope you feel better for you, but don’t worry about us

[@RoseArnoldd]

I haven’t given a 2024 release 5 stars yet! My best is The Eyes Are The Best Part which I gave 4 stars 😊

[@elskabee]

i always look forward to your videos whether it's just a chill little reading vlog or a bigger more ambitious video! The only 2024 release I've read is Nightwatching and I gave it a solid 4 stars

[@Bookworm_smanff]

Thanks for this vlog. Don’t apologise for being human. We’re all still going to watch and enjoy your content. Sending good vibes to your cat. Take care of yourself xx

[@mercedesmaddocks6295]

Meg, I hope you read all of these positive comments, and BELIEVE THEM! you seem the same! You don't have to be joking and off the walls positive 24/7, we love you for you and we'll be there for when you're not having the brightest time with a video, too. I love your content!!! Rain or shine ❤

[@samg9340]

My goal for the year has been reading new releases (and boy have there been some highs and some looooows) - my favorites have been The Invocations, The Tainted Cup, The Woods All Black, Cascade Failure, Someone You Can Build a Nest In and Service Model. Good luck with the stressful circumstances - I always try to remember if I’ve ever applied the same criticism to someone else. We often judge ourselves more harshly then others judge us.

[@shadowcreature7598]

Honestly a fun way to get to some new books. I haven't read any 2024 ones yet😭

[@Hillary429]

20:30 I think we need to get the gnomes into a future reading vlog 😂

[@mickeyhank]

Man, Meg, I felt so bad for you reading "Butter"! I do not blame you at all for being angry -- 500 pages of nothing. Great description of How to Solve Your Own Murder -- I could relate to the criticisms you made of it but thankfully overall it was solidly good. So sorry to hear about Rora! I will pray for her and you all. And do not worry about how you're coming across. Your recent videos have been fun. And considering you've gone through challenging times lately I'm impressed by how cheery and upbeat you've been. And you've read some bad books lately. Don't feel bad about being honest. You're still putting out quality videos. 😊

[@jaynehunter-ar]

I think The Return of Ellie Black is my favorite 2024 release so far

[@abigough5857]

I hope you're doing well, Meg ❤. It's still important to prioritise your mental health when you read something that's triggering ❤

[@ehdfpropertiesllc4632]

❤

[@wolfme4030]

Butter is based on a real female killer, I believe.

[@Sarasstorytime22]

I hope the Good Girls Guide to Murder, show is everything you are hoping for.

[@luca.desu.2590]

I'm so sorry to hear Rora isn't feeling well 😥

[@cat.book.nook.]

I've been having a really bad time reading due to my mental health where none of the books hit right 😅

[@arosetintedreader]

❤ to Rora and Yourself ❤️

[@sweeteliz]

ohhhh nooooo ... i just bought Butter!

[@emmawheeler4624]

Aw Meg, we will watch you watch paint dry ❤ you’re human, life happens, carry on 😊

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

I haven't even read five 2024 releases 😅

[@salahalselene4957]

✍️💪❤️📚

[@BA-hm6fc]

I'm pretty sure I only read 2 2024 releases and they were both DNFs... 😭

[@JulEnglefaris]

Did Rora get a blood test? That can show/rule out a lot

[@morganarosana]

This first book should be a dnf, poor meg

[@laurakoehler1099]

I think I am not going to read Butter now. I won't a copy of it but it sounds boring. I was trying to read more translated work but don't want to waste time on something that isn't interesting.

[@jamieserrano827]

Meg, you should’ve just DNF that Book, because that was just wrecking you mentally which is never good

[@jemmacrosland1451]

I’ve read 27 2024 releases and my top 3 so far are Cross the Line by Simone Soltani, Bride by Ali Hazelwood and Annie Bot by Sierra Greer 💗 I also recently added Butter to my tbr but I’m not sure what I’ll make of it. 🫣

[@BookishBri]

Butter was a disappointing read for me too 🥲
