“I think I put more thought into which career I wanted to pick than what I wanted to major in in university” 😂😂😂 same same!

[@NN-su4tk]

Oh yeah bye homework, hello 50 min quality time with Zoë

[@christina4157]

I'm supposed to be writing this essay, but somehow I ended up here.

[@HaileyinBookland]

I think I need to come visit you just so I can take care of that damn kazoo 🙃

[@readbyzoe]

[@anielson6152]

[@TheWordN3rd]

Yes, please. Save us all 😂

[@thediaryofabookaholic]

@@TheWordN3rd there no saving me my husband got a kazoo as well but i think he lost it here to hoping

[@bookwormlife1278]

Hailey, what is going on. Note for all three of you book marked rocks and you all rock!!!

[@sarahbooks642]

Lmao “ I’m not BITTER, I’m just a little salty “ I have definitely related to that line so many times before!

[@jacqulynhenry8071]

"So I'm not BITTER, *slightly flings books half an inch, passive aggressively,* I'm just kind of salty. "

[@tyd2877]

I think that line describes my life.

[@leonie1463]

Your dad in the car listening to your review about the Night circus while driving melts my heart 😊❤️ You can see he loves you a lot !

[@BookRoast]

Oh it’s so so cool to see you participate! 😍I love the extraness, I’m ALL HERE FOR IT! I can’t believe you sorted your whole TBR into subjects? This is genius! ♥️

[@ellabaum9212]

Me: MUST STUDY Zoe: *posts video* Me: ya I got 50 minutes to watch this...

[@noaviemose3565]

YES!!!

[@aname4700]

sAME

[@xnichole_mariex]

Me: Must complete 2 papers by Sunday! Also me: I guess I'll go down the Booktube spiral

[@penelopeskye372]

That's the story of my life lol

[@justyourordinarypottergirl8499]

same here

[@abigailjose3812]

I honestly missed your reading vlogs. Sometimes I just re-watch your 24-hour reading vlogs just to fill in my satisfaction. So glad you uploaded again!

[@sarahule4963]

So glad im not the only one who does that!! Lol!!

[@juliagaylard4186]

Now I feel less insane!

[@Yagiselys]

Abz Hozay same! I watch them everytime i have a reading slump and it helps

[@enaravaz]

THE INTRO OMG I'M LAUGHING SO HARD

[@dalyjordan6205]

Lol I know

[@Anjax1999]

Same 😂

"Do I ever listen to myself? That's a solid no" - wow big mood

[@TheZombieMe]

You're relationship with your dad is so precious! I just had to throw that out there

[@madisonxox2924]

Zoe’s Ravenclaw gene is really showing in this video💛

[@kirtiaggarwal31]

Can you please post a video about maintaining a reading journal, I so loved yours in this one. You organized your reading so well.

[@destinyddf16]

I was JUST thinking “when is Zoe going to post again” also, that intro 😂

[@lexalina132]

I love the kazoo xD

[@user-nc1cc6ln1g]

when is Zoe going to post again

[@Mybookishbehaviour]

The night circus should have been a movie made by Tim Burton. I think it would have been an epic film

[@justyourordinarypottergirl8499]

true!

[@Brea890]

Also, I feel like your Sims artistic skill level should have been increasing while you were painting your book edges 😂

[@ahobbit111]

You are so a Ravenclaw and it makes my Ravenclaw heart so happy!

[@sararapi8119]

Happy birthday to your dad btw He seems like an amazing father and a very funny person to be around 🌟🎉🎂

[@crimedelacreeme]

Oml, your dad's face expressions in the car when you talk about The NC 😂😂😂😂 love iiiit!

[@Paola-kh2wc]

THE ONE DIRECTION CLIP IM WHEEZING. YOU BLESSED MY LIFE

[@fannygoeshollywood]

I really love your relationship with your Dad, you both seem to have so much fun together :)

[@treerusso]

I wish she did my reading organization. Like if u agree

[@meg3734]

I have a friend that is this organised... tbh it's pretty cool but all of the colours she uses for the schoolbooks is so shocking

[@sararapi8119]

You just inspired me so much with your bookish bullet journal wow 💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@SheIsAnOpenBook]

I don't think I've ever clicked so fast in my life!! So exited to sit back and watch 50 mins of this reading vlog!!

[@celiananaze]

Wow your bullet journal is literally my dream ! I am an organization addict but I kinda lack creativity to do such amazing things, I love it !

[@Yanicandraw]

Your dad's facial reactions to hearing you talk about night circus and books in general 😂 love it

[@annavernerova7378]

This is absolutely fantastic concept that is so unique and amazing I'm blown away 😱♥️♥️♥️ also a lot of Zoë readathons? Hell yeeeah

[@mrslegolasgreenleaf]

Your dad's facial expressions.. love it!!

[@emmisirpale]

I love how bubbly your personality is! You always make me smile! 😊💕 But yay, OWLs!! I'm a second year Slytherin, since I was here last year too! 🐍💚

[@witheredahlia]

i saw Aristotle and Dante and then i saw Anne of Green Gables and both made me so happy! I love those books!

[@pauweredbyfaith]

I felt the EXACT same thing about The Night Circus. :(

[@TottiShares]

I would love to see your bullet journal in more detail!!! It looks awesome! Great video btw!! I love watching your vlogs

[@legendaryreader39]

48 minutes of Zoe! *stops making a video to watch* The Sun Is Also A Star was amazing! I read it for OWL's. So good. Happy reading 📚 😃 Happy birthday to your dad! 🎂

[@thegalacticzoologist]

I feel like charms being your favorite class is just so on point for being a Ravenclaw

[@anoukadriana1087]

loved this so much!! you always put me in such a reading mood!!

[@Elsie1588]

I love that mischief managed mug! Also the bookmarks are so cute.

[@valeriamichelle3690]

Yayyy!!! You do not know how happy I am that your readathons are back! They’re the best and I’ve watched ur other readathon videos like 12 times each😂 keep up the amazing work Zoë!

[@happilyeverbooks9295]

this made my ravenclaw heart so happy💙 I love how read a thons always bring together the book community!!

[@laurencollett4122]

Happy Birthday to your dad! OMG I love your bullet journal so pretty!

[@lauraestelle]

Love your vlogs! Your wonderful personality shines through them. Also, love the editing! 😄❤️

[@yoannastefanova2961]

I’ve been so stressed about finals lately and seeing you’ve posted a new video just made my day 😍📚💕

[@ashleighpratt7290]

Yay! I was just thinking about when your next vlog would be up! I’m so excited for this. Forget getting out of bed, time to watched Zoe! 💙

[@emireads901]

You are such an inspiration 🤓 Love your dedication to readathons! Can’t wait to see the other vlogs!

[@Rebe650]

Can’t wait to see your next vlog. I’ve already watched this TWICE.

[@katsuki_fan2465]

This readathon sounds like so much fun! I really wish it was done in like June though because April as a senior in college is just an awful time to try and do a readathon.

[@mariapiovesana7328]

Ah I love your bullet journal! I love the potions spread *heart eyes*

[@nickepearson4403]

I also picked the 2nd and 3rd book in the Grishaverse for the same prompts!!!! I love how you're giving yourself choices! x

[@sararapi8119]

You’re so addictive to hear,very inspirational,funny,energetic and lovely 😊❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@KittyAndTheBooks]

Like for the Sims music. :D I really don't understand the Night Circus hype though...

[@Mybookishbehaviour]

For me it wasn't the story it was the ambiance. Think Tim Burton meets American horror story: the freak show edition..... A circus described as monochrome, all the tents hold all different circus acts and some are odd and some are very odd. The circus wasn't there yesterday but it's here today. I loved the ambience the story was just a little bonus lol

[@chilicircus26]

I found that book super boring. Sure the atmosphere was wonderful but about halfway through the book I had trouble reading it.

[@barbaramfdias]

we appreciate all the work and effort that went into this vlog! my god, what a queen, i missed your reading vlogs so much

[@diananoriega8330]

I don't know what it is, but your videos give me such peace, such a great vibe and that's the reason sometimes I binge on them haha, specially on readathons! I love your channel

[@SmashleeBookLioness]

Apparently I am the only one watching this in 2020 and remembering when we could go places and do things. Ahhh the memories.

[@markospasic9205]

"I'm not bitter I'm just kinda salty" Mood

[@juliethc.3136]

Happy belated birthday to your dad! I love seeing you and him in your vlogs! Your relationship is sooo cute! I love your vlogs.. you have such a wonderful personality! You made me laugh a few times ❤️❤️ can’t wait for the next one 😊

[@a11150n]

I loved this and love seeing your face back on my screen. Can I just say Zoe... I’d happily watch that 5 hour reading vlog 😂 I could watch you all day!!

[@jemimamiranda9924]

This was such a great vlog! Exicted to see#readathonbyZoe vlog! Feels so good to see you❤️💙

[@lizzlocke3130]

Your energy and pleasant disposition are refreshing!

[@LauraAbbd]

Your dad’s reactions to your update in the car on the way to the movies made me so happy! Loved every second of it.

[@julierouthe1785]

Seeing you being so passionate about this, makes the video so good! It's one of my favourite videos ever 😁

[@mmchohon]

YES! I'm so glad you're finally reading Night Circus! That's my favorite book of all time!

[@kellitreads]

You seriously inspire me to keep reading. I enjoy reading but I sometimes get into ruts. I love your book suggestions and can’t wait to watch more! ❤️

[@nayeemanusrat2719]

I miss your reading vlogs. I hope you're doing great in life. And I just want to thank you for giving me comfort in my hard times.

[@kalemakeup1]

I love how happy you look when you talk about books you love. It's the same for me when I like a book, and it's something I wish I could share with somebody but no one in my life gets that excited about books. I feel like you would be such a precious friend, and not only for books, but for everything. You have such a FUNNY sense of humour!💕

[@ashlyn4413]

All my favs are uploading today, we have truly been blessedt

[@sofiavillanueva1570]

I love the potions idea in your bullet journal, I think it’s really neat and organized! ❤️🧪😊

[@Mjmagicalmiles]

I have always wanted to be a librarian, so when I saw it on the list I flipped out I was so excited!! To get to be around all of those books and to get to do so around wizarding books is going to be great! Also I love how organized you are! I am so excited for how excited everyone is for these Magical challenges

[@MidnightreaderYT]

Love your bullet journal! I just started my own and I haven't had a lot of time for it recently, hopefully, that will change soon because it has definitely made my life more organized and productive.

[@emilysteen8070]

Zoe, I love when you share your life. I feel like I am hanging out with a friend who trusts me and like we can sit and read together. Thank you so much for these wonderful vlogs!

[@justinehowe9100]

I love this video! I love all of your reading vlogs!

[@elana04]

You were the one that introduced me to this readathon and I’m so happy to be joining! I’m going to try to be a Journalist/Writer! So far it’s going a bit slow since school is keeping me busy, but I’m trying! Good luck to you Zoe and everyone else! I hope you all pass your exams!!!

[@juliaseiden8939]

Omg you are so organized. Ilysm Zoeeeeeee!!! 🔆

[@graceoc5613]

Absolutely love your bullet journal spreads! 💕

[@Mymakermovie77]

Yeeeeeeees it’s so much fun that you are vlogging!! I loved the first part with the organisation and the ending where you show the progress. Currently I finished Charms, Magical Creatures and another one but I forgot huh. I’m going to choose a career later because I first just wanted to read some books 💕

[@Mrsjow]

Zoe ! Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch !

[@readbyzoe]

This is such a wonderful comment! Thank you

[@BlinkFly]

Your dad is the real MVP. What a good guy :) love seeing him in the vlogs you’re lucky to have such a great dad.

[@taniabelikova3562]

Thank you, Zoe. Love your blog so much ❤️

[@devonchase2119]

The amount of effort and love you put into your videos is so heartwarming. I love this channel so much. It's my happy place. Also, I'd love to see a video of your bullet journal reading pages! I've been struggling with how to format my reading pages in my bullet journal. Can't wait for the next video! Also, for skin care, I REALLY REALLY recommend Grounded Sage Skincare. It's absolutely amazing and my holy grail for everything.

[@slightlybookishslytherin]

49 minutes worth of readathon goodness with Zoe. My day is made.

[@thoughtsofkatie5592]

I love this readathon concept!! I would love if this style readathon became a trend!

[@mackenzielol8029]

When Zoe said “story of my liiiii-“ An AUDIBLE AD LITERALLY SAID: “Listen to their stories” ( the ad cut her off by the way)🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😳weird coincidence! I always get myself into the most ironic situations. Love you Zoe!

[@bellabiundo9873]

I would loooove to see a journal flip through/journal with me of your bullet journal 😍

[@theborky]

zoe reading vlogs are my favorite reading vlogs! that is all

[@kathrynblanche4021]

This looks like so much fun!!! I wish I had had enough time for this this month! Maybe next year 🤔 and I love your idea of using this to narrow down your tbr list.

[@destiny0004]

Zoe: "I'm not bitter I'm kinda of salty" .. 😁 9:16

[@paradeoflaughter]

I love that you used Sims 1 music in the background of the video! Also in case the were wondering - acne just keeps coming. I'm turning 30 this year and just had a nice lovely zit 😭 Also I can highly recommend The Astonishing Color of After, A Very Large Expanse of Sea, When Dimple Met Rishi, Scythe, and both Anne books from your potential TBR.

[@melina1665]

I just love the atmosphere of your readathons ❤️❤️

[@amusicalbookworm]

love all of the editing in this video! You are amazing.

[@crisblakeney]

This vlog was literally everything I needed in a vlog and more 😅😍😍

[@2006emmamonster]

You are so organized, your journal is so beautiful!!!

[@emmaajinn]

i love how your dad listens to everything you say, like in the car how he reacted to everything ;; so sweet

[@feeyuhG]

I love your bullet journal spreads! I’m just getting into digital planning/bullet journaling on my iPad. I’d love to see more of your work in future videos!

[@justvynexa]

that dang kazoo slaps! I love watching your vlogs! they make me adore you even more. here, a hug!!!!!! 🤗

[@justyourordinarypottergirl8499]

That was such a fun vlog to watch! I really enjoyed it! I actually remembered that the OWL´s readathon existed through your video! So I started a bit late but it was still so much fun!:) Looking forward to the next vlog!

[@lizzylewis9757]

I absolutely love your bullet journal.❤️❤️ Also loved this blog ❤️

[@amandareadsss4128]

The Night Circus is EVERYTHING 😍 Also I love how you organized your reading!! Hello from a small booktuber💕

[@RoxaneBayer]

Love this!!!!! The OWLs Readathon vlogs are making me so happy!! So far, I've only passed two of my subjects. Real school keeps getting in the way.

[@matildahlias]

I would DIE for a 4D Night Circus movie, to get to smell all the different scents of the circus, to feel a crisp autumn breeze on your face, maybe even get to eat some of the popcorn or the cinnamon swirls or the chocolate mice...Even thinking about it makes me want to burst to tears, I love the atmosphere of ~Le Cirque des Rêves~ so much!! (maybe a bit too much, I'm so attached to it oh dear lord) And it would be so nice to meet other rêveurs as well!

[@annissaellis450]

ILLUMINAE!!! it’s so good! i’m picking up the second book this weekend!

[@joyvi283]

This was such a great break from school work. Your bullet journal ideas are also amazing so I may be stealing some... Great video as always Zoe!

[@HisNeverland]

I love your readathons so much! You personality is so charming, your family is great, I geel cozy as well when you are cozy, your editing is great and it shows how much care and work you put into your videos. Thanks for sharing with us!
