The comment to destroy all comments.

[@NataliahBeliebah]

mHsanhsanbsshd almost pissed myself this comment omg

[@darryldonnelly5363]

"I'm supposed to last another 8 hours what's gonna happen to me" is the exact same way I feel when I walk in to work 😊🤪

[@tracygraves8025]

My favorite thing is how optimistic you were in thinking you could read 9 books in 24 hours

[@NewClassic100]

The way you talk just tickles my brain in all the right ways as an ADHD person ❤

[@newlynova]

adhd4adhd ! finally good for something ~

[@theres_no_guarantees]

Words can't explain how funny I find you

[@brittanynorthrup]

the balance of excitement, chaos, and pure regret is masterful in this 24hrs vlog

you in the middle of the night is me trying to stay awake through the last thousand words of the fanfic bedtime story i chose, very relatable

[@jvstingraves]

I have ADHD, anxiety, and my undergrad in Geography so hello kindred book spirit! Loved this video and I’d totally try this too but it is impossible for me to not get distracted, so props to you. We ADHDers are weird magical sprite creature things. 😂✨

[@newlynova]

we have the same life truly hahahha

[@frikkin]

I played sims 4 for 24 hours once and it is one of my biggest accomplishments, followed by my 12h long teen dystopia movies and shows marathon

[@TamilaSushkova]

A) Your editing is impeccable, teach me your ways B)The way you talk scratches an itch in my brain (I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I strongly think I have it) C) Darrow being 16 also constantly threw me off as well when I started Red Rising (haven't finished it)

[@maddylovesbooks]

see as a scientist girlie i loveeeeeeed lessons in chemistry for the scientific dialogue like FEED ME

[@Abby-xg7eu]

i think watching this cured my reading slump because i have such an urge to go read now

[@ailienphanwagar3372]

the way you describe things is just so satisfyingggggg

[@unnamed4327]

"That bitch is rolling in her grave, I feel bad for her" had me fucking cackling :')

[@Critterkeeper_]

THE MARKETING FOR LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY THANK YOU I stopped after 30 pages because of the graphic sa and I know trigger warnings are up to the reader to check but I didn’t expect it from a pretty pink book with a cartoon

[@thaliawalia]

this as so brave i tried doing this once and quit 2 hours in. also if ur interested in trying another historical romance i highly recommend the lady’s guide to celestial mechanics (titles are only similar bc all historical romances sound like this) - it’s a lesbian romance about two female astronomers so it’s got the sciencey angle and does a good job of balancing that with the romance. the book also deals with the fact that the agency of a woman at the time is completely tied to her finances. it was also swoony!!

[@callieconover8356]

you are truly built different. Congrats for doing what no one has yet been strong enough to!

[@artsy._.]

I was gonna say I wish I had the determination and brainpower to do this to get out my reading slump… but as I continued to watch the better I felt knowing I’ll never experience this sort of self torture. But hey!!! Kudos to you!! I would’ve cracked and taken a nap after 6 hours lol

[@caitlinjolly3332]

The graphic audio for red rising is absolutely amazing

[@thakatspajamaz]

Howlers rise up!! Hic sunt leones!! We got another Red Rising fan, lads!!!

[@lalalsm]

You speak in the exact tone that my adhd brain thinks, i love it

[@structureoflight]

had to pause this video bc I laughed so hard at "I'm a woman firmly outside of stem. I majored in geography. Give me a map and we're golden, I know everything about maps" that I started to cry and my vision blurred + I full throttle laughed really loud despite the late hour. congratulations on being the funniest person in the world.

[@laurenchenoweth7]

the editing on this video is masterful

[@tatiannamunro714]

I’m here for the chaotic content!

[@storiedpanic]

tbh if I did this, I would only be able to read one book

[@irahann432]

I loved this so much I want more, but because I appreciate you I will not ask for more videos that involve making you suffer 😂 You made me happy. I hope you’re happy too ❤

[@nimsnook]

the chaotic energy in this video is magnificent

[@mallikaroxmysoxoff]

“we have bunsen burners and cauterized missing limbs” 😂

[@raheli.the.reader]

As someone who is currently 14 books behind on their goodreads reading challenge and has Golden Son on their most immediate tbr list, this video hit hard. Stop reading my mind, please

[@amara_0501]

watching this now and seeing the book tent on head parallel between your icon and past you at 12:30 is hilarious

[@Atari2OO6]

I’m so glad i decided to check this video out from Tictok!!

[@ideknic]

love your personality

[@dawnslight98]

I've been too sad to read and honestly that just makes me sadder.

[@newlynova]

it's ok, just do whatever you have to do to survive. NO guilt allowed. i have rotted for full years before don't worry you're not alone

this was so fun but i need to know what kind of eyeliner you use because it stayed on like a champ

[@newlynova]

i use the rare beauty liquid liner!!

[@Alliappalachian]

Such a good video!

[@cz5981]

loved this video! i know i could never do a 24 hour reading challenge LOL

[@JesusVazquez9724]

For Red Rising, I think hes 16 in Mars years which is like 26 in earth years. I was thrown off too but they also talk about gravity sometimes and it reminds me that Mars works differently than earth lol

[@NextgenTraveler91]

No its Earth years, but the reason why he is 16 and married is because the Reds were genetically modified to live shorter lives. His life expectancy is only like 35, so technically he is middle aged, so it's not that weird lol.

[@newlynova]

facts all of the gravity discussion is very much like an oh.. this is in space !! all of the time

[@miraculous_posts1810]

Ye -you look like u major in geography

i need to know what you mean by this actually

[@kadenworkman1276]

why did this make me want to do this?

YOU’RE DRINKING SOL TI!!! Are you from San Diego?!! 😁 Thats my go to drink!

[@newlynova]

i so wish but no, i filmed this in south carolina and just moved to wisconsin!

[@andreal7441]

not that i suggest you ever do this again (LMAO), but i think from what i've seen with other people that do this, it helps if you have an e-book or audio book for those later hours to help keep you awake, the e-book for the screen and the audiobook so you can do other things to keep you awake while you listen. Although honestly I cannot say i would ever recommend you doing this again in good conscience lol

[@laurapacheco3616]

need to know where you got the tomorrow x3 sweatshirt 👀

[@newlynova]

bibliostyles!!! i am a big fan

[@ice_wolf9048]

I would love to do this 😂

Has anyone every told you you look like 90s Linda Hamilton?

no i've never gotten that but lowkey i think you're right! very flattering lol!

Oh my! I’m so hyped new bingeworthy book tube channel found and subscribed🥹💖

[@caitlingee]

This was completely unhinged and I loved it.

[@abigailmanry1822]

You are stronger than me because I will not do a strict 24 hrs. I will sleep when I'm tired and watch Heartstopper when my heart calls for it

[@NextgenTraveler91]

Darrow is married at 16 because the Reds were genetically modified to have lower life expectancies. Before his carving he would only live to be about 35 before dying of old age, so 16 is middle age for him. Would be like one of us getting married and having kids at 50.

[@newlynova]

ya i've heard this and get it conceptually but it still feels like it was retconned to make sense retroactively. i don't really mind, book still bangs, but on a pure conceptual brain development level idk about that one hahaha

[@ama_niac4532]

This is the most relatable "I have been reading for hours and not really working properly anymore, but I am not putting down the book because stubborn" mood ever - big slay, so valid, I love you and your editing is supreme

[@newlynova]

[@em_overlover]

planning on binge watching all of your videos, was disappointed to find only 4. i love your personality!!!!!!! i can’t wait to see your new vids 😭😭😭

[@jamieb2289]

Okay, no lie, I think about the Owl City-Taylor Swift situation all the time and nobody else in my life gives a shit. I felt so VALIDATED when you brought it up! We as a whole just moved on from that too quickly, I feel like it deserved more conversation. 😂😂😂

[@newlynova]

facts I think about that cover at least once a week

[@mad.sbooks]

Your jokes are exactly my sense of humour- loved this video so much! Congratulations on finishing 💪

[@LizApizaa]

I know you just tortured yourself for 24 hours, but I still need you to put out more videos because I am living for these! I already watched the 4 videos you have put out twice! GIVE ME MORE CONTENT

Good god I've been waiting for this video!!!!

it has been in the tank for a while hahaha, hope you love it!!

Yeah, the US cover of Lessons in Chemistry is terrible and gives off completely the wrong vibe. Sorry ...

I'm starting graveyard shift tomorrow so I have to be able to stay awake from 11 pm-7:30 am and this video is giving me strength :')

This was so chaotic and I lived for it.

[@jeehan8980]

have you read war and peace? if not will you ever read a book like that, it’d be interesting to see how much time it’d take you to finish it

[@newlynova]

lmao i tried once! i spent like 8 hours researching the best translation and then read like 2 chapters. maybe one day

[@amyate7]

[@kennedykelly4019]

the taylor swift break is so real

[@galnaresc]

okay but what brand is the eyeliner it held up incredibly

[@dorian_notgray]

Damn I felt that about the small print. I legit will close a book and see if its available at the library to read as an ebook so I can make the text bigger rather than risk a migraine (I have chronic migraines) from reading the small print 😅

[@austen_ily]

Me next me next I wanna pick a weekend and also read while rotting

[@tannerv259]

I just finished red rising yesterday 👀

[@bdgy1275]

how do you read so much so quick 😭😭

[@newlynova]

well in this case it was all that i did all day which definitely helped hahahaha

[@choicethings]

I’ve been binge watching all their videos because they make me so happy 😆 I know this is old but PLEASE don’t judge historical romance based on this book it is not a prime example. If you haven’t, try Evie Dunmore. Her heroines are never not aware about how hard the times are for women and it makes the books so much better.

[@dorian_notgray]

I know given that this video is four months old that you might have heard this already, but the US Marketing for Lessons in Chemistry actually royally pissed off the author Bonnie Garmus because the cover makes it look like a romcom, and that is most definitely not what the book is about. I highly recommend you look up the UK cover which she loves a hell of a lot more because it more accurately portrays what the book is about!

[@meganhood9956]

I’m sorry but I was led here before you posted your next video after this. I’ve already seen this one and I’m an obsessed fan that is demanding more so I have a torch and pitchfork to virtually threaten you to provide another now my queen 😂
