random number generator controls my reading time | reading vlog

I am back to vlogging and I had so much fun putting this video together! And best news ever, I got a car mount to help so my clips aren't so shaky in the future.
This week I focused on having a number generator choose the number of hours I would read each day. So join me in a week of fun and chaos as I juggle too many books!

This is a fun idea! Scary but fun. YAY! Darker Shades!! 8 is a lot. That's Not My Name sounds really interesting. Oh no! A slow mo video. Good thing you could fix it. I would have thrown it out. 🤣 Lila and Kel! Hahaha a part of your soul dies when you don't get it all. I never get all of it. "what do I do now, read for fun?" Love that!

[@stampincass]

You rocked this one! 8 hours reading time is a dream!! Perfect for a weekend - but man, on a weekday... I put off reading a Darker Shade of Magic for so long because it was SO hyped on booktube several years ago -- and I didn't want to be disappointed. I finally read it last year and enjoyed it! I need to get to the second book now. I'm sure you know - but VE did a series here on youtube reading the series for it's anniversary. It was pretty neat to hear her talk about the book and see all her tabs and annotations.

[@sunshinereadswithlil]

love this so much! I can’t wait to read Us Against You together!

[@BooksToAshes]

Getting 8 after a 1 is such a way for the universe to balance out the chaos. How rude 😂

[@jamiebbooks]

I have issues with the lazy/inept cops element in crime novels too. I let it slide in one of the books I read this month, where there was a racism theme that could justify the kid/YA protagonist not thinking the cops would do their job. It still bugged me a bit though.

[@TheBookHerm]

This was fun to watch. I will be giving this a go at some point.

[@lefttoread]

This was such a fun watch! Honestly I'm always saying I'm going to start something and then something different and shiny catches my eye and I'm onto the next thing already, my thoughts and what I say can never be trusted. That being said, I have started Mile High 🥳🥳 I'm enjoying it so far, I hope you enjoy it when you do pick it up!

[@jamiebbooks]

Fun idea. I've thought about trying to film a vlog similar to this showing a day of my 'reading relays' style sprints, something I introduced the Dewey's readathon community to with mixed success.

[@readwithdrb]

YAAAS the tea on LIB reunion was PIPING HOTTTT

[@_iwouldratherbereading]

the hosts are definitely getting better, but I wanted more jimmy/chelsea discussion.

[@MomsBookCollection]

I am totally the same way when filming on my phone and reading not a phyical book (currently reading a Ebook but have to read it on my computer which sucks) i love this idea of a video!

[@BonnieNicoleWrites]

Oh what a fun idea!! I've heard such good things about A Darker Shade of Magic. I started it on audio but had a hard time getting into it. I think I need to get a hard copy from the library so that I can see it and focus better!

[@_iwouldratherbereading]

Yes I tried to just do the audio and ended up having to get a physical copy, I recommend giving that a try!

[@rainybluereads]

So glad we are loving darker shades!! Also idk if I could ever do this lol! Too daunting!

[@_iwouldratherbereading]

it's been such a great buddy read and you can absolutely do it!

[@beatrizbooknook]

I adored A Darker Shade of Magic!! If you all are okay with it I would love to join the buddy read! ✨✨

[@readwithdrb]

"i was talking too much smack about getting one hour" xD

[@_iwouldratherbereading]

karma

[@BrittanyLovesReading]

I want to do this challenge so badly, but also, I’m scared 😂

[@_iwouldratherbereading]

don't be scared, you can absolutely do it!!

[@readwithdrb]

ooo unhinged version?!?!?!?

[@_iwouldratherbereading]

unhinged is like my new go to word 😂😂
