Haley is my motivation to read when I'm in a reading slump!

Couldn't agree more!!! She even introduced me to some of my favourite books!!!!!!!!

ME TOO! i didn’t read for like 3 years then started watching her and now i acctually want to read

Before 2023 I have never picked a book. After discovering this channel I read 33 books this year! Thank you for being my motivation!

[@mindfullviewer4248]

Thats great!

The fact that all the book girlies posited today and I got 3 books at barnes and noble today makes this the happiest day of my life

[@limedovahkiin2806]

The reading room at night is most definitely a vibe. Love it. How people can read with music that has lyrics is beyond me. xD I have to have either complete silence or instrumental music when I'm reading or I don't retain a thing!

[@Akuliszi]

At the beginning of December I had 20 books left to hit my goal. I hit it only because I started reading some comics. Is it cheating? Maybe. Do I regret it? No. I've started a great series that i'm continuing now.

[@DimitrisChrrr]

Omg which one? Give us recs!!

[@ilvdrwng]

I don’t think it’s cheating. in my opinion, comics are still books. Same with novellas, I don’t think it’s cheating when your last books are novellas

[@Akuliszi]

@@DimitrisChrrr It's a manga series called Drifting Dragons; and it's about dragon hunters that hunt dragons for meat. It's pretty funny, and dragons are pretty. I'm not sure if I want to watch the anime, because art style looks weird in it, but we will see.

[@lifecolors4250]

Nah it's not cheating

[@DimitrisChrrr]

@@Akuliszi that sounds interesting, thanks, I’ll check it out ☺️

[@Hiimnathali]

Please make a series on reading every Harry Potter book! I too, upon reading the first book, was not immediately obsessed but as I kept going, I wanted to punch my past self for not reading it sooner. It gives me such a warm, magical feeling. I literally feel homesick to a place I’ve never been ✨🧙‍♀️

[@mary.feehan]

Haley you encouraged me to read more and i read 50 books in 2023 because of you. Love you happy new year x

[@AvReeces]

Literally because of her I read over 50 books this year and started an aesthetic reading journal which I’ve always wanted to do! Your videos are so good, and you are so inspiring!

[@AvReeces]

I liked my own comment 😂

[@σκοτάδι-υ7σ]

I don’t know if you’ve ever read this, but Ms.Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is a great fantasy romance, whimsical, and fun, it’s also a little bit thriller, and has a great vibe. Sort of high school aged characters.

[@NyxAlohi]

I finished 85 books and my goal was 70 soo very proud considering the fact that this was my first whole year of reading and just reading but loving it

[@pruthviv7768]

I have read 60 books this year because of you Haley. Most of them are from your recommendations. Keep recommending more. ❤️

[@starsandsuch7778]

Haley it’s thanks to all your amazing recommendations (emily henry, abby jimenez, lynn painter, hello stranger, etc) that I hit my goal of reading 40 books this year!!

[@OliviasInsomnia]

Haley!! A book that I think you will highly enjoy is Renegades by Marissa Meyer! I noticed that you have the book and I think you will really enjoy it as it's a fantasy/sci-fi book that has a no spice romance! I love this series so much and I know Sara Carrolli also did, and I just really want to see you try out this book because I know you'll love it ❤❤

[@Eddie_TaylorsVersion]

i LOVE that book sm marissa meyer is such a good author

[@cosma2720]

Just watching Haley read brings me in the mood for reading

[@LourdesOcc]

I love your videos 🥰 The song you were singing was maroon by Taylor Swift 🤎

[@lylasversion13]

We are so lucky! Hayley, Destiny, AND Sara all posted!

[@nathanielluscombe5277]

If you want a great no spice fantasy romance, I HIGHLY recommend By Blood and Blade by Anna Augustine. One of my favourite fantasy romances ever. Also A Thieving Curse by Selina R Gonzalez.

[@TheHumanMarvels]

A book can hold a lifetime of lessons through someone’s experiences. I never picked up a book until I understood that concept. Second thing i learned from books was learn from your mistakes. Don’t fear mistakes.

[@breaavril]

i will never get over your reading room it's beautiful omg

[@sarahliefer]

I am just starting to get into reading (I’m 26 and I haven’t read many books besides for school growing up), and Haley you’ve made me want to read!! I’ve now read Red Rising and am starting the second one in the series ☺️ excited to be a reader girl!

[@catwhisperflubbs]

4:28 the taylor swift song is maroon ur welcome

[@sophierays]

You encouraged me to get back into reading after a three years reading slump. I absolutely love you videos they always make my day better. On most KZbin videos i skip ahead but on yours never!

[@eden2hot]

i read 2 books in 2023 and im so proud of myself, i have so much trouble sitting down and just reading. my mind is usually too full and im just thinking too much about random shit, im so glad i read any!

[@lionesslio]

This is so insanely reassuring that you also are not so much into straight up romance books as i have been in that position for a while and was feeling sooo guilty cause it was my entire vibe for ages and still have a decent number of them in my collection that i have yet to read 😅

[@alexiss1457]

I can't wait to watch this! I got my wisdom teeth out, so it's time to rest, relax, and watch Haley.

love your vibe Haley! i’ve been watching for years. you inspired me to read more- and also think about starting a book channel this year! cheers to new adventures! ❤

[@MarrianeFrancisco]

❤ Hi, I've been following you for quite some time. I got to know you when I looked up on KZbin about how to read the bible, and your video popped out. It was very helpful, especially when I needed guidance in my spiritual life.

[@m.k9275]

I lovee the vibe of your library at night! It's so cozy 😊

[@bioenthusiast2652]

ur energy is so positive 💕 and ur so wholesome much loveeeeee💕💕💕

[@logann-mackenziefroste563]

I also read/listened to Finding Me by Viola Davis , Paris the memoir , and the Britney Spears book. I loved the Viola Davis book and I related so much to Paris’ book only because we both have ADHD as for the Britney Spears book it good but Paris’ book was the 💯winner out of the 3‼️

[@jasminegivens-beltran6733]

[@zachzackzak]

The character London Tipton from the sweet life of zack and cody was inspired by Paris Hilton

[@HughDancy-l9e]

Haley can you pls explain how you’re so good at summarizing books for these videos that you read? Do you take notes for all the books you read to help you retain plot and other details better

[@robfab5204]

I wish I could read 90 books in one year. However, one of the differences between Haley and I is that she gets paid to do this, whereas I, a 28 year old with a college degree, work at a grocery store, and therefore can't devote as much time to a hobby. But if I could do even 50-60 books on Audible every year, I'd be in heaven lowkey.

[@heyitsdaliiii]

I just opened my phone and accidentally clicked on the notification without seeing it, seeing that it was your video was the best surprise 😂❤️

I was very unmotivated to read, but when I watch Haley’s videos I get very motivated Book Lovers by Emily Henry is so good!! I made it to page 83 in 2 days 🎉

[@paigeford4371]

Soooo happy I trusted my gut on A Winter in New York! I also got it as my BOTM book since I was looking for a Christmas book. Then, when I read the summary, I was thinking, “Why wouldn’t she just give them the recipe? This is stupid” and you just confirmed I made the right choice.

my tbr for 2024 is 9 books! i'm so excited for this 💕

[@imdoingreatthanksforaskin]

you should do a video going to independent bookstores around texas! like waco, austin, dallas, and houston!!

[@-SummerSong]

Hayley you NEED to read "It Couldn't Be You" by Rebecca Jo Jackson! It is such a fun read. Second-chance romance, small town Texas, sweet and swoony. 5 stars!

[@-SummerSong]

Blurb - Emma has feelings for her best friend's brother, Gabriel, but he is totally off-limits (or at least that's what she’s always telling herself). This hasn't been much of a problem for the past couple of years while he's been living in California and she’s still in the small town in Texas where they grew up together. When Gabe ends up having to extend his visit home, it's not only the most exciting thing to happen in Emma's life in a while, it's also the most confusing. Could she get a second chance at something she might've blown years ago? If that wasn't enough, she's just been through a messy breakup. Oh, and she lost her job. Emma's not sure of what to do next when it comes to her career...or her love life. In this small-town romance, can a curly-haired, charismatic adventurer who Emma's known all her life and Emma an overthinking writer at a crossroad…finally admit what they've been wanting all along? (It just couldn't be each other, right?).

[@Prettygirlsreadbooks]

[@earthfairyedith]

omg Haley I'm sooo glad to hear your review of a winter in new york!! honestly i thought it was terrible too, i coudlnt even finish it. Josie silver is actually such a great author, this was her only absolute FLOP though. I hope you'd give her another try reading "The Two lives of Lydia Bird" its one of my favorite books and I'd be interested to hear your review.
