I love how he stirred after you mentioned coffee omg 😂😂😂

[@TotalUniGirl]

That spreadsheet is to die for 😊😊 can't wait until you upload it 😁😁😁

[@AwkwardBookworm]

Dawh you and the boyfraaaand are adorable!!

[@ulisessaint663]

Pro tip : watch movies at flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@zaydenluciano1124]

@Ulises Saint definitely, have been using Flixzone} for years myself :D

[@bookaholic1224]

I recommend the bookout app, try it out! I always use it when I do readathons & it calculates for you.

[@laurawiltshire52]

I love the way you convert your listening time into pages on a spreadsheet! That's amazing! So cool! Can you make a video on how to do that? Loved the vlog. You always inspire me to read more.

[@mybirthwrite]

3:41 "*jump* into my audiobook" nice choice of words ;) And I'm SO GLAD to hear that Love, Simon was good! I'm always so nervous about movie adaptations of books.

[@StarsAndEmbers]

I had no idea what you used for the blood, but the chocolate milk is such a good idea! :P

[@JackxJewell]

Always love your videos and you were the first booktuber I discovered! I had no idea there was a whole community of online readers to discover. I debated starting a booktube channel for ages but in the end decided to do something different. But I will always continue to watch your videos and enjoy booktube as a viewer! Just wanted to say you were a big inspiration for me to bite the bullet and give it a go. Happy reading! :)

[@_reveux]

i absolutely love your vlogs, this hasn’t changed at all in the last year or so. they’re so great!!

[@Hunterbonnnutrition]

Its hilarious to me that you have a sunburn and wearing a dress while up here in Michigan in the US the snow is up to my knees 😂❄️🌨

[@NovelteaCorner]

How fantastic was Love, Simon?! I'm so glad I got to see it early at the Showcase in Melbourne, but I'm looking forward to it being released so I can go and see it again. All the feels for that movie (and book). Looks like you had a great readathon!

[@TheLitoverse]

Your spreadsheet makes me so wonderfully happy-I track my reading (and track different stats about my books), but I've never done a spreadsheet that tracks realtime reading. I love it! I'm glad you had such a great Bibliothon too! :D

[@MegBookishRamblings]

I think having a spreadsheet for reading is a great idea! I've been trying to keep track of my reading for this year which hasn't been too hard though can be time consuming when I forget to mark the pages I've read down lol. The audiobooks are the ones that are a real struggle for me so I'd love to learn more about how to track those in pages form. I really enjoyed your vlog and I always look forward to them. I just started getting into Gilmore Girls this year with a cousin... I'm just a little late to the party lol. Congrats on reading so many books!

[@emilyhanks5163]

Holy crap YES please do a video on the tracker that you showed!! I'd probably do it for the year, instead of a readathon but it would be so awesome! xx

[@xeptian]

THE DEATH CURE GOT ME FEELING ALL KIDS OF SADNESS

[@blueyedbooks]

You and your gf are the cutest! I love your reading blogs! And your hairrr😍

[@thebookbujo]

I enjoy your vlogs so much and it inspires me to read as well yessssss!! Really loved the editing of this one! It looked really good and was very entertaining with the music and the short clips and all, LOVED IT

[@TheRainyReader]

I love the effort you put into your reading vlogs, they give me so much inspiration!

[@ricardaseven6083]

Yaay for so many books, well done! I didn't participate in this readathon BUT I did my own little 48 hour readathon this past weekend (vlog of that will be up soon) in which I actually read Renegades which I absolutely adored and can't wait for the next part to come out!!

[@circusofdamned3206]

Love your reading vlogs so glad your doing them still. Also your a beast with the reading, 2210pgs that insane.

[@tessavery2151]

I loved participating in the biannual bibliothon this year! It was so fun! I am so happy you finally posted this vlog...

[@Wolfhailstorm]

I read the Lie Tree last week... Interesting but not what I was expecting!

[@iPetrine]

You guys are adorable! I love the segments with you two in the car! 😄

[@erinmariecece]

So jealous that you got to see Love, Simon early! I'm dying to see that film!

[@storiesofwonderland8900]

I've actually seen the Lie Tree in a bookstore and was really interested in it! Wow you did a really good job in the readathon! When I see readathon vlogs I always get super motivated to read a lot!

[@savannahhayden640]

Hi Catriona! I have been really loving your reading vlogs, and all the others that have been going up lately! It’s super awesome seeing what everyone is actively reading and their thoughts as they go along. I would really like to start vlogging as well but am not entirely sure where to start. I was hoping you’d be able to suggest an affordable vlogging camera to help get started? Any help would be super awesome! Thank you so much and I love your videos! ☺️

[@LucieReads]

Ooh super excited for you to share your readathon tracker! :) Great job with your reading!

[@inthebooknook6495]

That spreadsheet tho 🤤 has it been uploaded and I’ve missed it? No pressure. I’m just super excited! Haha

[@BrittBerryStrawberry]

That spreadsheet is insane!!!

[@harshishah5205]

This was sooo good. i love when you vlog amd omg alex😂😂😂😂

[@Iry951]

Tinder is a good book :) I hope you enjoyed it! Glad to hear you did so well at this readothon!

[@elenis.3974]

I really liked the editing of this video! The bluetooth speaker is a good idea, I might look for one too

[@krissyn.3366]

This was one of my favorite vlogs of yours! Loved the behind the scenes feel. Thank you for taking us along! Also what do you use for your vlogging camera and mount, particularly in the car?

[@cindypanda6858]

I loooove your VLOGS!!!!

[@desertrose0601]

It’s so trippy watching you drive on the other side of the street! 😂

[@haladriels]

That’s such a fancy spreadsheet. I love it 😂

[@charlottewood4769]

Tinder is brilliant, you will love it!

[@penelopebunce]

I actually really enjoyed this readathon. I had never participated before, so it was a lot of fun!

[@jessm2913]

Loved the vlog! Yay for more vlogs.

[@sarah-6594]

Omg!! I love How to Cake It chanel. 😍🍰

[@anaesteves6655]

I really love your vlogs! Good readings :)

[@beepboop9976]

I love your readthon vlogs 😌

[@Sophiek2221]

Where did you get that speaker that sticks to the shower wall?? I NEED TO OWN SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!! Please let me know! Also, this vlog was so so good. You're a master at this.

[@BooksofAmber]

Oooh, I still haven't watched The Death Cure! I need to get on that before my cinema stops showing it. Was it any good? I'd love a readathon spreadsheet! I find that I read more if I actually note things down instead of just winging it and going blind.

[@Americanka96]

I adore your readathon vlogs!

[@theorosca2210]

Couple goalsss💟

[@josb0rne]

Impressive spreadsheets!

[@libraryofadventures7800]

I want to try out audiobooks after watching your reading vlog, but I just realized how expensive audiobooks are😫 somehow I thought it would be cheaper than physical books but nopeeee

[@Bree19]

Was the movie close to the book? It’s my favorite book ever and I really want to see the movie! I just don’t want to be disappointed by the inaccuracies.

[@littlebookowl]

It has been a while since I read the book, but from what I can remember I do think it was a great adaptation. I'm sure there are some small details changed to better suit the movie form, but I think it stuck really closely to the book!

[@simply_jareeny]

I love your videos! ❤📖

[@benhamidaa6574]

i love all ur videos ^^

[@bekand1]

Beeen waiting for this 🙌

[@pamjohnston4704]

hahaha metalocaypse!!!!!! "Hey, is this good for soup?"

[@thesassfandom]

ITS UPPPP YESSS!!!!

[@nurashiedashamimi9532]

Love this 💖

[@crazybooklady2104]

Love your Bluetooth shower speaker. It looks like your driver side is backwards or maybe it's your camera angle...

[@allisonh8534]

In North America, the drivers side is on the opposite side of the car, because we drive on the other side of the road. A lot of countries drive on opposite sides so therefore the steering wheel position is reversed depending what country you are in. So yes, it's on the "wrong" side for some people.

[@crazybooklady2104]

From an American's pov, it looks backwards lol

[@JaimeG]

what was the BEST book you read during the bibliothon?

[@littlebookowl]

The highlights were: Harry Potter 5 ★ Neverland 4.5 ★ Beneath the Sugar Sky 4.5 ★

[@danecobain]

This was so fun!

[@hillisawesome]

I watch How to Cake it AS WELL!!!

[@hillisawesome]

Doesn't relate to this video but I'm rereading Illuminae and Gemina for the first time via audiobook to prepare myself for Obsidio! What am I going to do with myself after Obsidio finishes?? 😭😭😭

[@MonsterBloodBooks]

Off topic of the video, but I thought that you and Alex moved into together? I noticed you’re in your old background, which I think was your parents house. I remember this moving vlog with your boyfriend was around the time you had the vlog reading A Darker Shade of Magic. I’m just confused, I’ve been very inconsistently watching your channel 😂😂

[@alexinwonderland5629]

MonsterBloodBooks Same! I’ve been wondering.

[@minortalentshow2653]

He is really very funny😂😂

[@Celise]

Hi Catriona! How do you hear about these readathons? I'm pretty new and wondering how everyone finds out about these things. Thank you!!

[@littlebookowl]

Hey! I have created a readathon calendar on my blog, so I go through and scavenge the internet for upcoming readathons, and I also have a form for people to submit their readathons to the calendar :) You can find it here: www.littlebookowl.com/p/read-thon-calendar.html and I also post reminders and updates on this twitter account: twitter.com/readathonnews I hope this helps! :)

[@Celise]

Little Book Owl Thank you! That's better than I was even hoping for :)

[@blueminnows1565]

Omg you got to see Love, Simon!!

[@Missy_Reading89]

Where did you get your speaker that is in your shower?

[@janey8025]

ADPiBookworm I think it's a taotronics one from amazon. If you search water resistant Bluetooth speaker it should come up for about £10

[@marthagonzalez8241]

So cool

[@moonchild4241]

I can’t wait to read Love, Simon! I hope you liked it 😍 Are there any small booktubers that want to support each other here? 🙊

[@hannahallen6492]

What do you do for work??

[@hania649140]

Let's Be Real I think she said she works for Bloomsbury Australia or something

[@pandoricraft3617]

you do realize your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car, right? ;-)
