COSPLAY & CRISES | BOOKTUBE-A-THON VLOG DAYS 4 & 5

[@theyxaj]

Your dad is my favorite dad.

[@sofiakarlsson963]

Yxaj mine too!!

[@AClockworkReader]

I LOVE YOU FRIEND SORRY FOR KEEPING YOU UP SO LATE ♥️

[@hannaharcher3751]

tbh y'all are friendship goals

[@fadumaahmed8741]

You should never feel bad for doing what's right for you :)

[@readbyzoe]

Faduma Mahad those are wonderful words to live by 😊

[@aliozdemir9576]

What if robbering bank is the right thing to do for me Should not i care about the people around me?

[@Cirqueen]

In the long run, robbing a bank wouldn't be the right thing for you. You would most likely get caught and go to jail or, even if you didn't get caught, it would (I hope) weigh heavily on your conscience at some point down the road. Taking time out from a readathon because you are having anxiety about something that's supposed to be fun was right for Zoe and she shouldn't feel bad about it. It served her well in the moment and won't be damaging in the long run.

[@aliozdemir9576]

Of course it's so beautiful thing to follow your dreams what ever happens or what ever people say but I find so wrong to say "If it's right something to you do it " This is not a option in our pacific world

[@katherineleclair945]

I love that your dad is featured in a lot of these videos. Your interactions with him are so sweet and it's great that he's so supportive & an avid reader as well. Enjoying your booktube a thon vlogs!!

[@coralinelm2392]

Definitely Zoe! You are allowed to talk about more than just books. If we are here is because we care and think of you as a friend. That is the beauty of booktube, being able to be your entire self and feel part of a community!

[@adashofash]

"I don't want to be a day behind" "well this vlog is two weeks late so" omfg ZOE 😆

[@MysteryDateWithaBook]

Aaaaw, I'll tell you exactly what I told Hannah a few days back ... Your mental health will always be more important than Booktube. If you feel like you need a break then take a break. People will understand. (And if they don't then you're better off without them). I know you don't know me but if you ever need to talk, I'm here. Plus, can I just say, your dad is the best! Haha!

[@Julietdw]

Omg 😂😂 your dad watching your videos at full blast is my new favourite thing😂😂

[@yellowtreezy]

omg, your dad is too adorable. I love how supportive and how much of a fan he is of your channel!

[@steelersobx24]

YOUR DAD is my favorite. Omg he watches your videos that's the sweetest thing.

[@CrayCrayMadz]

I hate that feeling... when a bad day just gets worse. I'm so glad we arent alone, that feeling a failure. That it does get better.

[@artisticash5045]

I know how crippling and scary a mental disorder can be. I struggle with anxiety and depression bad enough that I have to be medicated so don't feel like you have to keep making videos for anyone. Just focus on your well being. I love you and your videos!

[@dory7000]

Aww Zoe just let your dad watch your videos. Definitely more important to talk to friends, especially when they need it. A lot of times it is not only therapeutic for them, but for you too. It is great that both Hannah and you are talking about what you are struggling with. It lets others know they aren't alone in struggling with anxiety and depression.

[@anamiranda6022]

your little talk at the end cured my soul today bc I've been sad and anxious all day. thanks for helping :)

[@MegBookishRamblings]

I think it's great that you took a time out for mental health because it felt right for you. Sometimes taking a step back and not worrying about all the pressures of life can be a huge help and I'm so glad that it did help you. I love your peacock version of Pride and Prejudice by the way!! As I heard someone say in passing "if you're reading, you're winning" and you did read both days so you;re winning!

[@rileyvillarreal]

yessss zoe we don't mind at all when you take breaks :))) everyone needs a break and i love that your opening up and telling us about yourself as well!!!!!!!

[@iidifferentworlds]

You dad is actually adorable. Sorry that you felt overwhelmed! You always read far more in these challenges than I ever could. Your 24hour readathon was inspirational af! x

[@jamielester4127]

I totally relate with how you feel regarding anxiety and mental health. You always come first so never feel bad for taking some time for mental health. I find it really comforting that you explained that because I get anxious and stressed easily and it's nice to know that someone feels the same way 💙

[@jf1809]

As long as you are doing what's right for you and what you enjoy, you are never wasting your time.

[@dyl7194]

I'm the same! Organisation relaxes me so I reorganise my shelf, my drawers or my school diary to calm myself down.

[@sofiakarlsson963]

I enjoy it more when you take care of yourself and being so vulnerable and real. I adore you. No matter what the content, no matter how many pages you read. Mental health goes first. Your health, family and friends should always come first. I love you. I love that you're being real with us. And i love your dad equally as much. He's the cutest little daddy out there ☕️☕️💫

[@brielambley3466]

I think the last 5 minutes of this video were so completely honest and true. I love watching your videos because you are funny and warm and wonderfully human. Thankyou for all the hard work you put in just to entertain us:) Hello from Brisbane Australia!

[@mariamkhalid781]

You really inspire me because you're so honest and I also think it's very brave talking about your mental health. Your health comes first and if you ever need a break you should take it. I'll be here when you come back :)

[@lenaalexander5425]

Those curly hair struggles are real Zoe. It takes forever and you don't want to use heat. If you get a diffuser attachment it defines your curls and spreads out heat so it's not adding frizz

[@lenaalexander5425]

Also it's best to let your hair dry for maybe 20 minutes before fully drying

[@andreiutzapni]

sending so much love to you Zoe. you are one of my favourite youtubers ever and we all understand you. mental health is extremely important. take care of yourself and don't beat yourself up for anything. we are all human and we need to stay in the right state of mind. love you!

[@musicgirl7362]

I'm happy to listen to you talking about mental health because I, like many others, can really relate to you. Don't stress too much, just do what you feel okay with. Reading is supposed to be fun, not a chore💗

[@stephpiano2908]

That like speech about how important your own mental health is was everything, also your dad is the actual best, you guys have the cutest, most enviable relationship I've ever seen

[@Erinxo11]

Just wanted to say you are not alone! I suffer from social anxiety and depression and reading has always been my therapy. I love your videos thank you for making them! 💜

[@malloreyrogers7987]

Omg your dad watching your videos is legit the most adorable thing I have seen EVAR.

[@BasiliskofAsia]

OMG Psych is my all-time favorite show!! I'm so glad you like it!

[@SharonVictoria90]

That Dutch flag mug though, i feel so represented. ;)

[@elif-xk2vw]

ReadBySharon isnt it French flag?

[@puntchrista]

Elif Bursalı No it's the Dutch flag!

[@Zoe-xj5by]

ReadBySharon i'm dutch too :)

[@Zoe-xj5by]

Elif Bursalı the french flag is from left to right :)

[@Zoe-xj5by]

Or the other way around lmao idek

[@doogkoobntcns]

I appreciate your lateness Zooey because booktubeathon is extended so thank you! 💖📚🤓

[@AA-rs8gf]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RAVEN'S CYCLE AND YOU REMIND ME OF BLUE SO MUCHHHHHH ❤

[@emmad6760]

Your relationship with your dad is adorable!

[@thebookbujo]

You are such an amazing person Zoë! I'm really glad you took the time for yourself to chill out and not stress about everything. It's really good to hear that you are a person who struggles with anxiety and stuff as well because it makes me feel understood and not alone in this world :) Always put your mental health first💖

[@papergirl6251]

I love when you also talk about your life and anxiety and everything! You're human, we're humans, and it's important, and I love the sharing!! Booktube is a safe place for me (for us all I suppose) too, so I'm glad it is one for you too! If not, it'd be wrong! Can't wait for the next video xxx

[@dianakunta6669]

And then they were none is so good one of my favs

[@alinas730]

Hey Zoey! I really love your videos and your channel. Because of you I fell in love with books even more and I can totally relate to you. One year ago I had so much stress in school and life was packed with to much things. I wanted to make everything perfect and I was so angry with me when I couldn't reach my expectations. But I think nobody is perfect and we should love ourselves as we are and our flaws that make us human too. We shouldn't try to change ourselves for others. I really appreciate you because you are such an honest and beautiful person. Thanks for everything 💕 Alina

[@HboontheusHboontheus]

you are honestly such an amazing human

[@saraisreading4231]

I always thought those bath shelf things were unnecessary but your vlogs are making me seriously consider getting one. Bath reading is the best reading.

[@camilareads2063]

Zoe, I love you. You were the first booktuber I found and I fell in love with all your videos. There are some that I've watched a trillion times. It doesn't matter if I discover a new booktuber because I always come back to watch your videos. I couldn't wait for you to start posting your vlogs! The important thing is that you are doing your best and you are inspiring others to read more just like you inspire me!

[@chloesinclair710]

i love how your dad watches your videos. thats so cute ☺️💞

[@faithelizabeth4110]

Please do a hair video! I have a similar curl pattern and my hair is always frizzy and dry.

[@WheresRowanGoing]

I love, love, LOVE Psych. Their Xmas special has me so dang excited. I really need to rewatch the series to hype myself up! Lassie is my favorite

[@kendrarichards7821]

Thanks for talking about your anxiety, Zoe! I relate to both you and Hannah about having anxiety. I make a lot of KZbin videos sharing my experiences with it, and I find that talking about it not only helps me, but helps other people too! So keep sharing your heart, it truly helps the people you care about.:)

[@pixelatedDream]

Thank you so much for sharing about your anxiety. I have anxiety and I feel overwhelmed very easily. I honestly feel overwhelmed with a lot fewer responsibilities than you have so, I really admire you for all that you do every single day. I've loved your channel since the moment I found it!

[@metzmon1]

I love your videos, Zoe! You are so genuine and engaging!

[@hessaalsuwaidi3248]

your vlogs are spreading happiness all over !! we want more of these : ) we love you and we are always here for you.

[@mariachavez3098]

Your dad is adorable! I've love that he watches your videos proudly!!

[@Nicole-lk9pp]

Hi Zoe! I've been a long time subscriber of yours and i'm so proud of how far your channel has come. Your vlogs are some of my favorite to watch, even on those days where you don't do anything exciting; it's interesting just to see what you do in your daily life and honestly it's really relatable that you also struggle with things like juggling schoolwork, booktubeathon and daily responsibilities. I also just wanted to say thank you for being so open about your anxiety and how you deal with it. I'm currently going through that whole spiral of emotions and it's really comforting to know i'm not alone. As always, keep up the good work! :)

[@lukyanoppedisano1130]

I loved the background music as you were reading "And Then There Were None."

[@diletha5976]

I keep looking past your head to your new book shelf...your dad did a great job...so shiny.☺#goals.

[@lau.394]

Hey Zoe, I really like your energetic happy self, but I also like your more calm self that takes care of herself ;) Your videos always motivate me to read, but since you are not "perfect" they also destress me from having impossible expectations for myself. I love that you are addressing mental health and I can totally relate since I also have anxiety. I like watching videos of you no matter what they are about and if they are two weeks "late" (it's never too late for great content though!). Lots of love from Germany! xx

[@RTLogan-dz5ep]

I'm so happy right now to see someone that loves psych too...

[@Lily.1768]

I love you so so much Zoe. This vlog made me feel better about the fact that I didn't read that much this year unlike previous booktube-a-thons. So thank you💖

[@pucksandpaperbacks]

Thank you for talking about your anxiety, Zoe! Vlogging is definitely very hard and I love them -but if they cause you anxiety, don't worry about making them :) ❤️ I also struggle with anxiety so I can totally relate!

[@booksandpies2256]

I think it is great that you and Hannah both talk about this subject :) It's weird that even though I have never met you in person, you do really feel like a friend

[@madison5929]

omg so cute how supportive your dad is and always watching your vlogs haha!

[@fury-robl2217]

I love your channel so much, thank you for taking time to talk about your anxiety and metal health! It gives me comfort to know I'm not alone love youuuu 💞💞💞💞

[@gortead]

That is so cute how your dad watches your videos!

[@jasminrivers5452]

GEEKERELLA 💜💜💜💜💜💜 One of my favorites this year.

[@RebeccaMadeline]

Your relationship with your dad makes me so happy!!! Also ugh I need to read some Agatha Christie pronto

[@sahaabmoazzam4274]

Love u Zoe u r the prettiest KZbinr I've ever seen and u make the person laugh and smile and make that person's day happy for the the rest of the day thanks and keep doing these kind of videos such as readathons😘😘

[@MeganTrimble]

I read The Raven Boys during booktube-a-thon and when picturing Blue I pictured some mix between you and Hannah from aclockworkreader!

[@Brightcolor22]

Yas! I've been waiting for your booktubeathon vlog! Your vlogs always motivate me to get reading again! And also to read in the bath...😂

[@SarahEllis]

I love Psych. I'm due for a rewatch

[@aissataamadou]

Oh Haha I got that same planner, the recollections planner from Michaels

[@amandameimccombs]

[@TeaBooksAndTazmyn]

WATCH THE BBC MINI SERIES OF "AND THEN THERE WERE NONE"!!! IT'S GLORIOUS!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TeaBooksAndTazmyn]

Can we please facetime when I'm sad? 😱😭

[@TeaBooksAndTazmyn]

[@TeaBooksAndTazmyn]

[@TeaBooksAndTazmyn]

[@loveheart-ti3pi]

TazmynMay101

[@alyg4402]

The wrath and the dawn is so good! Noticed it on your TBR shelf and I highly recommend! Beautifully written 😁📚📚📚💖

[@josh_is_grafted]

Yay, Psych! I'm so glad they're making a movie. Probably my favorite show, helped me through some hard stuff.

[@fayepidgeon7611]

I admire you so much, Zoe :) your advice to listen to what I know will be best for me to do is the best advice I've had in a while x

[@afafnj]

Those are deep night thoughts ... &they're the best

[@BEATRIIIZOLAAA]

We love you so much, Zoe! Health is more important. Btw, I'd love if you could show us how you decorate your planner or plan :D

[@andreag303]

Zoe! I love your videos! Much like your feelings about "The Raven Boys", I want them to go on forever lol. p.s. loved your cosplay, you looked beauteous!

[@emmagawron]

omg i love that "she persisted" shirt!! 😍

[@charlotl]

I cosplayed as Belle for London Comic Con and happened to go up to YALC (the Young Adult Literature Convention- which is AMAZING and you should definitely come one year)- I feel like Belle was in her spiritual home amongst all the books and bibliophiles!

[@melissamartin9132]

Love your vlogs no matter when you post them. I have a lot of mental health issues which cause me to be home bound. Never apologize for mental health. There are too many people in the world that don't understand it or care to but we should only focus on those that do =)

[@a.denigot2503]

Your dad is the cutest😍 He's your number 1 fan! Haha

[@BeckSabeLeer]

Your dad watching your vlog it's just to cool :)

[@SavannahSwim]

You should do a video about your planner, and how you orginize it.

[@zoennaemmerson5079]

I would love to see a 'organizing my bookshelfs' video! ❤😍💗

[@kiyajade98]

I hope you feel better and that you take some time for yourself xx I love your videos btw !

[@nadaali1900]

Your dad is the cutest thing ever

[@leaisstillhere]

Your Blue cosplay is amazing! I love it.

[@sarahlima9124]

I LOVE YOUR VLOGS!! I don't care if they're late, I just love your videos

[@hazelkappler5257]

Love your videos Zoe! Your dad is so sweet.😂

[@LLuna768]

I really enjoy your videos. It always amazes me how much you accomplish.

[@allsmiles7400]

By the way I really really REALLY love your videos! You're my favorite youtuber and I say this with so much honesty. I've been looking for a good youtuber on KZbin lately because I feel like all of the ones I stumble on aren't fun or show any enthusiasm. I came upon you when I watched your (WAY TOO) BIG BOOK HAUL and I loved you from the start. You're amazing Zoe! :)

[@stephanieantic2878]

You are actually such a gorgeous person ❤️

[@kathleencoletta9993]

I read and then there were none a few years ago, but it is soooooo good! I was not expecting that twist ending at all.

[@nickydanique]

I was so excited when I saw your Blue cosplay! I wanted to cosplay as her for forever!

[@jadathebookworm1828]

I absolutely love your vlogs

[@kimberly1661]

I'm so happy you're reading And Then There Were None! I love that book! Also I love Psych!

[@LaurenceRoberge]

The planner part surprised me because I was organizing my planner as I was watching your video 😂

[@decodoodads1832]

I just picked up and then they were none and can't wait to pick it up. Also, my sister-in-law is obsessed with the raven cycle and your cosplay has me really interested in the series. :)

[@TheMalinator1]

Love your vlogs Zoe!! Thank you for being awesome. :)

[@2006emmamonster]

"I thought you posted videos for people to watch.... but not you" you and your dad are wonderful!

[@Darrkness]

If you liked Saga, I'd recommend Sunstone. It's not anywhere near the same but it has amazing art and a good story like Saga does.

[@meghanharless7636]

I need to work on not beating myself up when I don't finish a book as well, love you, your videos, and your rambles!!! Also where is your she persisted shirt from?
