reading 200 PAGES a day | reading vlog

[@oklahomaread4477]

I do my best to read 50 pages a day. Occassionally on the weekends I can do 100. But setting a goal and then not meeting it causes anxiety and that feeling of being behind, which makes it harder to read. So I try not to worry if I don't meet my daily goal. I've read more in the first two months this year than I've read in some entire years, so anytime I feel like I'm not doing good, I just remind myself how much better I am now than I used to be, when I would go days and weeks and months without picking up a book, despite having all these books I want to read.

[@HaileyDanielle]

Yes! I definitely think there’s a culture in the book tube community that can be very unattainable. Sometimes I think about the future when I go to school again and won’t be able to read as much and get a little anxiety about it, but at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter!

[@modzy54]

yes i agree, i feel better when i set time based goal for reading, like read 30 minutes or 1 hour a day..i tried these method and still i read much more than just no goal at all

[@oklahomaread4477]

Some booktubers blow my mind with the amount they read every month. Some of these people have jobs and families. They must read super fast. I've thought about starting my own channel since I don't really have anyone in my life to talk about books with. My wife will listen, but she reads very little (as far as fiction goes). But I'm afraid the time it takes to film and edit videos will take away what little time I have to read and will thus be pointless.

[@betterbrandybooks6867]

I don't set a page number goal but I do try to read every day. Whether that's 5 pages or 400. That goal works better for me as this year is my first year reading consistently.

[@HaileyDanielle]

Definitely a good mindset!

[@joeski1073]

I try to read a book every 2 days. I've read 17 so far this year. I drive a truck at night. So getting into audiobooks have helped. I can listen when I cant physically read.

[@HaileyDanielle]

Yes! Audiobooks are so great!

[@joeski1073]

@@HaileyDanielle I get discouraged if I go a certain amount of time without reading so it helps to stay on top of things.

[@ajdiaz4277]

This reminds me of when you have to read books for school. Like if you didn't have to read it for a class you would probably enjoy it but knowing that you HAVE to finish it within a certain time frame just makes you less interested.

[@HaileyDanielle]

Omg that’s such a good comparison! Feeling like you HAVE to do something really can lead you to resent it. That’s why I was in a multiple year slump, having to read for school took it out of me😭

[@eliotopian]

Audible credit. I lost 7 of mine. Contacted customer service and said “is that a rule you think people are aware of?!” And they gave them all back to me. My money didn’t expire from their pockets in a year if they didn’t spend it!

[@wgmkh697]

I just finished Firekeepers Daughter and I agree it was slow at first, but the last 300 pages I could not put it down!!! So good!

[@itsnoterica]

You sound exactly like me LOL I'm very type a as well w ocpd that manifests partly as perfectionism & the second I set a specific goal it's very difficult for me to pace myself bc I need to get it done & surpass it as soon as I can otherwise I would feel like I've "failed" even if I haven't. It's exhausting & oftentimes ruin things for myself. So, I've learned to be a bit more vague w things like daily goals, to do lists, etc. We live & we learn!

[@HaileyDanielle]

100%! Glad you’ve found ways that work for you☺️💕

[@heater2227]

Love the vlog style videos! Hope there's more coming :)

[@ayeshanicoochi3094]

ugh girl im gonna have to do this probably tomorrow but I believe in myself so

[@modzy54]

I couldn't agree more with you...setting up a goal based on page numbers gave me anxiety and tend to stressed me out, reading with time based goal is better for me because no pressure for the amount of pages i should read...maybe you could try someday :)

[@HaileyDanielle]

Times are definitely better than page numbers for me! I think I definitely prefer to just read with no requirement haha.

[@milliesabine2107]

I also started Firekeeper’s Daughter, near the end of February, but I only got about 50 pages in before I DNFed it for other books. Maybe this will convince me to pick it back up again soon

[@babybat8897]

Always look forward to your videos!

[@HaileyDanielle]

Aw thank you so much🥰

[@flobi2306]

Write an email to Audible. I had the same problem. They told me because I cancelled prior to buying a book, it's gone. They still replaced the credit. Try at least 🍀💖

[@HaileyDanielle]

Thanks for this advice, nice to know!💕

[@pratimadumpala59]

Pleaseeee try reading Infernal Devices. I don't really read fantasy but Infernal Devices has to be the best ever.

[@HaileyDanielle]

Definitely planning to!

[@bookitwithwendy21]

Love your Channel, you are adorable! Thinking about seriously starting my booktube channel this week! I'm just intimidated by the editing process! Any suggestions are welcome!

[@HaileyDanielle]

Aw thank you! I guess my main suggestion is to be yourself and read what YOU want to read, whether it’s hyped or not. I also think thumbnails are huge so try to get your thumbnails looking nice, people don’t click near as much if the thumbnail is low quality or not unique!

Anyone else experiencing black screen for a minute around 20 minute mark?

[@HaileyDanielle]

Oh no!😭 It was me just explaining this salad Im obsessed with right now and how I make it lol. I don’t know what happened to it, but the footage is gone now, I’m not sure why it showed up black :(

[@kaylicavagnaro6977]

@@HaileyDanielle aww! Well I’m sure your salad is great 😂

[@booksalicia1763]

I’m reading City of Bones rn hahaha and I’m definitely going to pick up the 2nd book afterwards

[@TheBibliophilePuzzler]

I usually read at least a book a day, so I am getting a consistent average of 353 pages daily.

[@bookishhufflepuff872]

I'm proud of myself if I can just read 50 pages a day or really any pages at all. I have such a short attention span so after just a couple of pages my mind is somewhere else and I have to put the book down.

[@Becksnnc]

I'm exactly the same. Even if I'm enjoying the book I have to pause and do something else. I can't even explain the feeling but I just can't sit and read for long periods of time.

[@bookishhufflepuff872]

@@Becksnnc exactly! Sometimes I do get sucked in and can read for longer but that’s usually only when I’m towards the end of the book. Otherwise I can only read for like 15 minutes maybe before I have to do something else.

[@HaileyDanielle]

I think I’ve conditioned myself to read a lot lol, my attention span has been bad lately bc of tiktok tho not gonna lie😭

[@Mano-Wan]

Right there with ya when it comes to TikTok! 🤪 Love your VLOGS(even if all the books are YA 😉)

[@HaileyDanielle]

Hahaha YA is so not me, I have no clue how that happened BUT it is what it is

[@mattkean1128]

191 pages a day is massive 😵‍💫

[@HaileyDanielle]

Putting a set number on myself definitely took its toll😅

[@kirstyroberts4530]

yayyyyy you posted this just at the right time :)))

[@HaileyDanielle]

💕💕💕

[@gusarapii]

I’m amazed lol, for me reading 100 pages a day is already exhausting

[@HaileyDanielle]

Yeah, I’m taking it a little easier now😂

[@zohraibrahimi2726]

When you finisch the series of cassandra clair you should watch shadowhunters on netflix. Its the series of the books

[@HaileyDanielle]

What the heck I didn’t know this??? Very cool

[@maria-pn5fr]

@@HaileyDanielle the show is honestly really bad compared to the books hehe

[@nicolezinn3878]

I loved Firekeeper’s Daughter but didn’t know it was supposed to be a thriller. Ha ha!

[@HaileyDanielle]

It really doesn’t feel like one!

[@jennifers4142]

I had the hardest time reading Firekeepers Daughter! Didn’t get all the hype at all.

[@HaileyDanielle]

Yeah..putting it down for now😅

[@dudamartins1245]

i really thought firekeeper's daughter was a fantasy book because of the cover

[@HaileyDanielle]

Definitely gives that vibe!

[@SidniePaige]

not you kinda influencing me to pick up ya fantasy again too 😳🤔

[@HaileyDanielle]

It’s like…kinda good😂 Trope-y yes but enjoyable!

[@joe_now_here_]

I can't read if there is a page quota, it makes me lazy. This is coming from somebody who can finish a book in a day. If there is a target.. no, no, I won't even touch a book. Or look at them. Hahaha

[@HaileyDanielle]

100%, seems to ruin the experience😭

[@joe_now_here_]

@@HaileyDanielle True 😂

[@emilyayers7471]

I don't think I'm ever going to get around to Cassandra Clare's books, it's just way too much for me.

[@HaileyDanielle]

I completely respect that😂 If i hadn’t enjoyed the first one I might’ve called it quits on such an intense undertaking.

[@lyss5268]

Audible is ridiculous… so expensive. I prefer kobo.

[@HaileyDanielle]

Never heard of it but I’m gonna look into it now!
