Honestly, my reading slumps are most of the time directly correlated to school. If the semester gets too busy and hard, I'll fall in a reading slump, even if later I have time to read, my mind is so full and exhausted, I can't read. I was in a huge reading slump at the beginning of the year, and when summer came and we went on vacation, I read tons of books. I guess it just depends on whenever my mind is relaxed enough.

[@rainaskora9732]

I’ve been in a huge reading slump for over a year. I’ve been only reading like 5 books a year and it’s terrible. I’ve just been so busy.

[@aurorak428]

This is exactly how I am right now and I'm supposed to be at a certain point in a book for school by tomorrow and I can't bring myself to read

[@sophia-el9ug]

I'm the exact same way! I have midterms and essays I need to write for school, and because I fee so stressed I haven't been reading as much as I would like

[@raindropasmr2114]

I'm actually the exact opposite : during summer I get lazy and don't read nearly as much as I should, but during school months I read like crazy

[@lenavm]

Joss Mtz That’s so strange to me I’m literally the opposite haha! If I’m really busy with school I read to procrastinate working... it’s really really bad😂

[@glaringdream1456]

Being a mood reader really is not fun! I just keep looking, looking, indecisive, unable to figure out what I'm even in the mood for sometimes so I don't end up reading anything.

[@morgancrum9139]

lol it's like looking in the fridge over and over again hoping something appetizing will magically appear but it doesn't so you just deal with hunger

[@georgieh7351]

Love this tag because it makes me feel less weird in a house full of non-readers - they don’t understand the pain!!

[@BooksMichelle]

Bonding over unpopular opinions really is the best thing ever

[@my_arabella]

Sometimes I read Children's Books when I'm in a slump. One book that got me out of a slump at the time was, Another Country by James Baldwin, and it was a book we read for class. 😊

[@carlottathefriendlyperson7710]

Children's book are really good for that. Nice and simple and comfortable : D

[@my_arabella]

Agreed 😃

[@taylornuckolls6988]

Girl... Can I just say you feel like the most professional and put together booktuber I've watched so far and I appreciate your videos so much (Not to say that other people aren't good, of course they are, I just like your style

[@lianicole6456]

I can’t DNF books either! I don’t know how people do it...

[@mariannachiapparino8862]

Same. I feel guilty even if I just think about DNF a book.

[@ciara-cn9zu]

I normally dont. But if i cant physically finish it because it was so bad i find a summary and read that. So the curiousity that is the only reason i would keep reading is gone. So i can dnf

[@phoebeavery6713]

“*cough* throne of glass series” Amen Sister Suffragette

[@MoMo-vo6xw]

Same i hate Throne of glass series

[@reve2712]

Who can relate: Having a billion unread books on your shelves: "NOTHING TO READDDDDD, MUM, I WANNA GO LIBRARYYYYYY" "No! You have 7366367844899 books on your shelves!" *sulks for a week*

[@morgancrum9139]

1st item of business: thank you for acknowledging that ADD/ADHD is a real thing bc i cannot for the life of me read a book anymore even if I REALLY want to because of ADHD. 2nd item of business: that's really good advice for a reading slump. Will use.

[@suchonahasnat9794]

hi Hannah... I am an Architecture student and it's so depressing to lead such a busy life...sometimes I don't even get enough time to have my lunch in time...but when i return home i come on youtube and watch your videos...sometimes I don't even watch.. i play video, do my project and listen to your voice.. your are such a warm soul and you inspire me to read though I don't get enough time to read.... take love

[@ABRLDM]

Suchona Hasnat I deal with the same feeling. But I am a med student. I spend about two hours in traffic going and returning from college everyday, so that's the time when i can read better. But sometimes there are so much work to do that I only feel tired and worthless.

[@suchonahasnat9794]

i can feel you... my elder sister is a med student and i see her working so so hard...so i can feel your pain... but i am sure you also love your life... take love dear

[@alexmso9]

*whispers* throne of glass is reaaaaally baaaaaaad (glad I’m not alone on this)

[@laurenbastian1906]

alexmso9 ugh I totally agree. I feel obligated to finish the series though... like I finished 5 before I realized how much I despise the series and but now there's only one book left...

[@Nasy200]

Throne of glass is so stupid and I dropped it in a middle.

[@avav8237]

I haven't started the series yet lol

[@ElRobin]

The first three aren't bad, they are pretty good for what they are. From the fourth book on it's bad and ACOTAR is just horrendous.

[@chloeleehane8706]

I am on the opposite opinion of everyone else... I think the series starts off okay, a little annoying but okay, but about half way through Heir Of Fire I began to LOVE it. I don't know why, I just think her writing improves tremendously and Celaena becomes a lot more fleshed out and developed, but I seem to be the unpopular opinion nowadays .--.

[@lyra5712]

I can relate to this so much !!! I hate HATE reading slumps !!! Two videos in a day, you're slaying me queen 😘🙌🙏

[@anonymous1017]

I genuinely love reading. I’ve been a bookworm pretty much my entire life, but ever since high school started I’ve been in a terrible reading slump. It gets really stressful with homework and assignments and studying, so I just never have time to read. It does get better in the holidays and breaks because I allow myself for relaxing time, but it’s still really difficult. But I have found that your channel has helped me a lot! Ever since I started watching your videos I got back into my love for reading and for that I’m so thankful! Love you 💙

[@kimbubbley]

When you said you're a mood reader I thought of a video idea id love to see from you. You should vlog when you're about to choose a book and walk us through how you choose? I'm not entirely sure if that made sense haha. I'm also a mood reader and always struggle choosing books.

[@KHicks697]

I know some authors really appreciate that you finish the book and give an in-depth review on why you didn't like their book. For someone to say "I didn't like it because I didn't like" helps no one. Not the author, not other people who are thinking about buying the book who reading through reviews, etc. Finishing the book isn't a bad thing. Thank you. Btw I don't like Throne of Glass either.

[@sanahs323]

I love you so much Hanna your channel makes me so happy we have such similar taste in books and watching your videos honestly always puts me in a good mood. You're the reason I got back into reading for pleasure

[@AClockworkReader]

I cry! That means the world, thank you

[@sanahs323]

A Clockwork Reader you're welcome💗

[@glitterygoddess4434]

I'm currently reading the night circus, because you have been talking about it alot AND DEAR LORD I'M GLAD I PICKED IT UP

[@leathehatless]

For reading slumps I give it a week. If after that it doesn't go away, I just pick a book. Any book anda give myself a couple pages. I try to give realistic goals like, "reading 10 pages" and If the story is captivating, I will get engaged and get over it. Reading slumps for me are just usually me being lazy. So I just convice myself that life is to short to be lazy. It usually works.

[@PirateonFleetStreet]

You have very quickly become my favourite booktuber. I just love listening to you talk. It makes me feel calm about all of these book problems haha and I go about these things the same way.

[@redundantmartyr]

I am 100% with you on the point of books making you cry! It's such a powerful experience. I'm always seeking new books to affect me that deeply!

[@kingmoon1577]

I love watching your channel because you understand what reading addicts go through every single time they open a book!!!!!

[@badmothertucker6579]

I am so impressed with you and all the other students who are reading 50-125 books a year in addition to course work! I don't think I ever read that much when I was in university.

[@nynguyen8070]

The worst public cry i've ever experience is when a book made me cry during a break time in my class, and everyone in the class looked at me while i was trying to stop the tears from streaming down. That was so awkward. Usually when i'm outside i tend to pick up lighthearted books to avoid crying

[@Dani_Waggett_Art]

I am glad someone else does that with reading slumps too, i tend to either re-read something like Beadle the Bard or just a little thing i can get done in 2 hours at the most.

[@user-bm7fw6on9c]

Oooo! Hannah do the artist book tag or like the aesthetic book tag! It's all about covers!

[@natalie.d711]

yes! She should so do that!

[@TheBookishBadger]

I missed this tag, glad to see you doing it!

[@MeSimoneI]

I totally understand what you mean about reading slumps, sometimes you just have to let it happen!

[@vavila16]

1. Thank you for recommending Night Circus wow!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 2. Did you finish/start Name of the Wind? I'm almost done with Wise Man's Fear 😢

[@AClockworkReader]

I haven't finished it yet (school is busssyyy) but I have started it and I love what I've read so far!

[@vavila16]

A Clockwork Reader yay! I read that Lin-Manuel Miranda is working on the tv series for these book 😍

[@Hannah-hr6rz]

Not enough people mention how calming your voice is and how pretty you are. Ahhhhhhh. Love you. 💕😂

[@TooSoonTooYoung]

Oh gosh, I'm a mood reader too--I'll get books out of the library intending to read it, and then the mood disappears and it ends up unread until I have to return it anyway. And I totally agree on reading slumps--they are the worst. Mind you, I think my reading slump is because I'm at university full time most of the year, and there's a LOT of reading to do, so that probably "helps". But come the summer holidays (at least where I am in NZ), and I'm ready to read!

[@sadiaafrin7603]

I seriously loved this tag video... your problems are so similar to me...

[@izzyblitzy]

I have really bad reading slumps that are caused by school mostly. I go to school in Florida for engineering, so I rarely have a free day where I can read. When those rare days come, all I want to do is relax and watch a movie or KZbin. A couple months ago when Hurricane Irma hit and I had 5 days of no school I read half of Lord of Shadows. I still haven't finished it but hope I have time over Thanksgiving or Christmas breaks. I just need to be relaxed enough I guess

[@rocknregalia]

I am also a mood reader. I do not know how people plan so explicitly, even being in a book club can be hard for me some months because I will put the club book off until the last minute because I am busy reading the things I want to read first.

[@avav8237]

I can't finish a book that I don't like because I still want to know what happens

[@karas4009]

You cant finish a book you like? And you still wanna know ehat happens?

[@avav8237]

No I want to know what happens so even if I don't like a book I still read it

[@winterflowerreads]

you know it's a Good™ day when Hannah uploads ✨

[@axudiaries]

I love her so much🥰...cuz i am watching her videos from even 2 or 3 years ago🤭

[@sophialang2701]

I am committed, tooooo!!! There's been a couple of books that I've kinda hated but had to finish because.....I had to.

[@allisonhenke5976]

She is such a perfectionist haha I love it :’)

[@lauramayfair7887]

I also have many problems with the Throne of Glass series. I think Sarah J. Maas is a good writer ; I just don't always agree with her choices. Series is super spotty for me.

[@Maria-cf1nn]

Haha same on the not being able to keep tears back issue I once started sobbing on a full train and I was reading it on my phone so the people around me didn't know it was because of a book so I feel you

[@driftyfishy4483]

Your makeup looks amazing!

[@nathanialyx1596]

Hey Hannah! Could you make a video on books that have made you cry? I'm looking for some new tear - jerkers. Love you 💖

[@MariaMightReadThat]

Wow, I would not be able to stick through a book for 6 months. Props to you for doing it to get the full impression. And I'm 100% with you on being sad when favorite books have ugly covers. That's the worst feeling!

[@sanahs323]

Yay a new video!

[@manalandherbooks8979]

I'm putting up a tag video tomorrow and was thinking of tagging all my fav booktubers, now that you said you're looking for more tags I definitely will 😋

[@evaschuh7885]

I love your makeup!!!:) it’s so pretty

[@IlFilodiArianna_vlog]

the end of the year tag!!

[@heyitsgabs21]

you have such a soft autumnal vibe.

[@mansourraniafarah9003]

And i'm like you a moody reader and i read with all my feelings and émotions that's why some books took from so much time.

[@GirlAboutLibrary]

I've really been struggling with TBR videos also! I admire your ability to not DNF, but I like the idea of finishing a book for the purpose of being able to properly critique it. Going to try and keep that in mind when I face my next book that makes me want to DNF.

[@marleesummer8793]

You’re the best Hannah! I just got some bad news but your videos always make me feel so much better! Thank you for all that you do!

[@AClockworkReader]

I'm so sorry that you got some bad news. I hope that things get better for you soon. Sending love

[@marleesummer8793]

A Clockwork Reader omg thank you so much!!

[@deashiawilson01]

I'm so with you when you pick up a book I feel like I have to finish it,Oh my gosh like everything you say in this video I am exactly the same 😂😂

[@tanangiobanion5600]

Keep tagging girl. I enjoy your videos. My reader problem would be staying focused. A book has to be really interesting to keep my attention. Most of the time I stick with a book til the end, but if I find it too offensive, I will DNF it.

[@ngaiomacleod8558]

can you film more playlist book tags i honestly love them and idk why they are so interesting and entertaining

[@catgirlsarachidouin5920]

I felt so happy when reformulated the ADD question, because I have ADHD and that kind of question really bothers me. Thank you!

[@meghashukla9472]

My favorite vdo till now... so relatable!!!!!

[@nerdalysis]

I am the same with my new releases. The last one I bought I read pretty quickly. But then I have some on my shelves that have been sitting there for a few years 😅

[@surprisedpikachuface9864]

Love you girl 💕💕

[@fatimasajid1474]

Same.. I almost dnfed the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and that was only because I was a few pages in the 1st Book: The Fellowship of the Ring and it seemed boring but then I was like no.. This has been on top of your TBR since forever and you are going to finish this trilogy... Which is exactly what I'm doing.. I finished the first book and am almost halfway through the second one and I am really enjoying it!! ☺️

[@fatimasajid1474]

That's awesome!! I haven't watched the movies for the series yet.. Still debating whether to watch them or not.. I'll see

[@Julia-qk5es]

This trilogy is rly so good ,I'm a huge fan of the movies,like a rly extreme fangirl :) But tbh I never have actually finished the series bevause I was in a really bad reading slump at the time and it was kinda overwhelming

[@fatimasajid1474]

Oh cool.

[@rachelhesketh94]

A recent method I've used to get me out of reading slumps is to watch booktubers' Readathon vlogs! (Especially readbyzoe's) I watch them read like more than one book in a day and I just want to do the same and read everything!

[@fatimasajid1474]

I so relate to you with the last question.. Like seriously 😍

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’m 100% a mood reader, totally agree

[@carysluther5864]

Hey Hannah! Great video! You said you were really stressed, and I’m just going to put it out there that I’m always up for music/book combo video (I really liked the Panic! And Hamilton ones that you did) and if you felt bad or stressed a music tag might make you feel better.

[@AClockworkReader]

Ohhh that's a good idea! It's been a while since I've done one!

[@imperatrice211]

I'm not a mood reader at all, I often make myself around 25-books-long TBRs and stick to them with pleasure, that way I try to mix in books that I'm overly excited about with ones that I'm merely curious about or have been sitting on my shelf for a long time. Also, I always change between genres because I really like to read a bit of everything :) And so with all that, I don't really get reading slumps and though I'm not a mood reader, I am definetely a mood buyer x)

[@salthiravalleyhearth5126]

I haven't yet got into an actual reading slump but I do have this habit of starting to read multiple books at once at least until only one really absorbs me or intrigues me and I end up reading and finishing that one. (Currently reading 8 books at the same time). I suppose I'm lucky because I don't forget (rarely) what's happened in each of the multiple books which I start and as I don't often use bookmarks I'm usually always able to remember the page number (or part) of the multiple books which I start to read at the same time.

[@user-nt6yd3mw1i]

Through the whole video I was like same, same Hannah!

[@thebestiebooksleeve]

I feel the exact same way. I am the biggest mood reader. I can’t stick to a TBR. My indecisiveness is a problem. Lol.

[@anotherbloodyfeminist3272]

It's really nice to learn more about you whilst talking about books ^_^ What are you reading at the moment and how's that going? I recently started Uni so I'm re-reading the HP series as a comfort. I haven't re read them in over 3 years!

[@beatricetoscano2247]

I feel like you could be my best friend in real life ❤ Great video as always, hugs from far away

[@kayg7438]

This was a great video!

[@ProfessorCue]

Great video!! I can without a doubt understand the Goodreads goal thing. It seems you and I share a similar strategy be reading graphic novels/comics. I thought that I was the only person to do this and that it was cheating, but I'm glad to see that I'm not alone.

[@douglasfreer]

I've had reading slumps a few times and I just watched movies and playing games. When I get back into reading I devour them. The only problem with my slumps is I end up not buying any new books but while out of them I end up getting more.

[@gracewallace3620]

1. I just read the next book in the pile on my side table. I'm pretty basic but I love any books. That's why I'm a proud Ravenclaw. 2. I don't usually get halfway through a book I don't like. If I don't like a book within the first few pages I won't keep reading (does that make me a bad reader? idk). 3. I only started a GoodReads account this year so I can't answer this question. But I probably couldn't since the only way I get books is from the library and it takes a while for a book to arrive at the library if i issued it online. 4. I don't have that problem since I don't read many book series's. I prefer individual books. 5. Idk how to answer this. 6. I don't really read in public because I can't concentrate but I do read in the car if i'm going somewhere, even if it's a 10 minute drive. But I don't cry when I read sad books. Well, I have not read any sad books in my life time (i'm 13) but I did cry when I read 'Wonder'. 7. Never had this problem but if I did, I would re-read the first book. 8. No one asked to borrow my books. Also, I have real kiddish ones from when I was like 9-10. 9. I usually just watch a bunch of Booktube people such as ReadByZoe and LaylaBetweenTheLines and their read-a-thons to get me out of my reading slump. 10. I don't buy books from the book store since in my country we just have Whitcoulls and they are quite expensive. But I do issue books online from the library. THX FOR READING.

[@wherestephaniereads580]

That's why I borrow books and than when I finish the series I just buy it all together. That way I won't have to deal with mix-matched books. One series that is mix-matched is too much.

[@elizabethd7478]

Love your videos 💪🏻💪🏻

[@fantasticfaiqa8974]

I know i am Stupid but can someone please tell me what does Tbr and DNF means!?

[@subhakhan1900]

Do the big book tag!

[@Bri-og4yx]

My biggest reading problem is having them sit on my shelf longer than i thought I would. Like i feel like i'm not giving those books enough love and i feel stressed about it. It's a weird problem but yeah (:

[@ZzZivaReads]

Watching this feels so nostalgic :) girl, how do you stop caring about covers not matching? The frustration is ever present I feel like :| Hope this tag makes a new round on booktube XD

[@satyaranjansethi1975]

I love to watch your all videos. 👍

[@thats_so_laven]

I rarely DNF books, but I started Twilight three times and never got me to complete them. After the third time I gave up completely. I'm lending out a ton of books from the local library though and sometimes (quite often actually due to school being stressful) I don't manage to finish in time, so I have to give them back without touching them or while being in the middle of them which is literally the worst

[@elinamauno8833]

Reader problems... I would say studying literature, reading 500 page books each week for class and then having heaps of books at uni that I haven't read because after I've read the books I have to for class I have no energy to read anything else.

[@pachamaridamofasat7803]

When I went to high-school the day after reading a sad book I just started crying during class but because I was ashamed I said my bunny died

[@valerierogers676]

My biggest problem - how do I get to all the books I want to read? I can't get enough!! Yet I don't want to read too quickly just to move on to the next book. I want to take my time and enjoy what I am reading. Another problem I have is feeling guilty over reading too much of one genre (i.e. too many graphic novels, too many romance novels, too much YA or fantasy, etc.) I feel like I should be more diverse in my reading, but I get hooked by a genre or author. Thanks for filming this book tag! You have interesting thoughts for each question. :)

[@ameliazawadzka238]

Film the “End of Year Book Tag” or some tag that talks about your favs and least favs of the year

Since you already do an ancient tag, do the play with your emotions tag!

[@chelseakerns7058]

I've been in a reading slump on and off all year. I can't seem to be able to get fully out of it.

[@user-we8dn5ub9z]

When you said about the Shadowhunters wiki I literally tried to do that so I could read the Shadowhunter Acadamy novellas and then the Dark Artifices but I was so confused after visiting like 20 wiki pages cause I hadn’t read the Mortal Instruments in 5 years so I painfully reread the whole series even though I really don’t like the first ones...I only just finished Heavenly Fire 😂 #dedication

[@gabriellebakaysa5813]

Oooo New profile pic 👍🏼 I like it

[@rph_1047]

I get bad reading slumps because I just tear through books and series so fast and don’t know anything else to read. It doesn’t help that I want to read more emotionally packed books (not little kids books) but without inappropriate details. It’s soooo hard to find that perfect balance because I’m a young teenager and don’t really want to do that so yeah. Then I just don’t read for a while and it makes me sad. Any suggestions?

[@GeminiPrincess-gq7cj]

Number 4 girl I feel you I have the summer I turned pretty books and book 2 I could only find in the light Orange cover with just the words on it. And books 1 and 3 have White covers. It makes me so mad

[@benparrish6157]

I have never cried from a book but I came close while reading the hunger games

[@gamergrill3756]

I have reading slumps all the time, it makes it hard to read enough for school.

[@irenegarcia6970]

When I can't remember what happens in a book, I use a website called Recaptains! They summarise the whole book and give a detailed explanation of the end! Utter lifesavers ❤

[@beabookworm]

Would you want to do my Clueless Book Tag? No worries if not. I love watching your videos regardless! 💞

[@louisestevens7138]

When there is a new book to a squel and I cant remeber what happened in a previous book then I reread the book before I read the next one.
