My tip for a reading slump is watch as much booktube as possible and make a list of everything I want to read 😅

[@SimplySaraReads]

Sophie Monahan lol. Me too! But now my tbr is gigantic :p

[@WitchKittenReads]

Facts! This never fails to motivate me to read more. Although it can also be a time suck.. hehe

[@amusicalbookworm]

I have learned more and more that I don’t need to be reading every second of the day to be a “real reader”! Definitely agree with taking a break from hobbies if you’re just not feeling it!

[@sierrapawanrat3192]

omg your content has been getting me through quarantine. i'm so bored all the time and your videos are so entertaining and relaxing (esp the longer ones!)

[@sarahbookworm5937]

I realize I get slumpy when reading the last book in a series, I think some part of me doesn't want a wonderful series to end and makes me read it real slow and not want to pick it up in fear it will end too fast. I'm not going to avoid finishing series because it's also satisfying when I read a whole series. As you said, "don't force it" so I've come to terms that last books in the series will just take me longer to get through.

[@ReadingRoz]

I always have a similar issue! Right after I finish the last book in a series, I just want the series to keep going, so it becomes so hard for me to pick up another book!

[@caribrown48]

I’m here now. Just finished Kingdom of Ash and I don’t know what to read now because I loved the Throne of Glass series so much.

[@ReadingRoz]

@@caribrown48 I still have to finish the Throne of Glass series. I just finished the Folk of the Air trilogy so I am with you.

[@caribrown48]

@@ReadingRoz Heir of Fire was hard to get through but I'm so glad I stuck with it.

[@marissapender6678]

Believe it! 😂🥰 My boyfriend introduced me to Naruto and it feels nostalgic even though I didn't grow up watching it like he did! Such a good story.

[@Mrs.Moriarty]

When I'm in a reading slump and I feel the need to read (sometimes I do not than) I often re-read my favourites. That helps to go back in the reading mood, cause I now what to expect and that it wil be great^^ Sometimes it also helps whatching Booktube und see People speaking about Books and how they love reading etc. Than I dont have the feeling to loose the connection to reading and books, even if I am not in the mood to read by myself. Sometimes I pick up a Audiobook and that also helps.

[@elmeelee4109]

Roses are too formal for me as well, I prefer wildflowers. They’re so much more fun!

[@cloudsmari]

most of the time when i’m getting into a reading slump it is actually because i am too distracted by my phone. i always think: "now i’m going to read" but end up scrolling my way through twitter or instagram anyways. switching my phone off and putting it somewhere i can’t reach it helped me a lot.

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Good luck with your TBR !! ❤️

[@queenigelkotte]

Love your dress! So excited for this Reading rush

[@jademazurkiewicz2130]

Thank you for brightening all our days! it is so so nice to watch your videos and just escape for a little while!

[@vivianaaustin-knab9784]

Your videos have been brightening my days and keeping me entertained during quarantine!

[@elenathegreat]

I'm excited to read the Glass Hotel. Good luck on your TBR!

[@relc1705]

Thank you for making so many videos during this stressful time, watching your reading vlogs has been really relaxing for me and they also got me out of the bit of a reading slump I’d fallen into- so thanks ❤️

[@nadia___mitchell]

Been loving your content since those freshman year days and still obsessed❤️

[@1DawnMarie1]

All the vlogs and Millie content are keeping me sane, starting week 5 of being in my house!

[@fileanavailable]

“Big pivot.” Me: “PIVOT. PIVOTTT.” 😄

[@umrano]

I’ve always enjoyed your videos and during these dire times your voice is a big soother. I can’t stand vlogs but yours are the ones I watch all the time. So, thank you for taking the time and making these videos for us. Wish you and Clay the best, always 💕

[@baddiemoyd]

YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE KZbin HUMAN

[@sash4204]

ahhhh! fruits-basket is my ABSOLUTE favorite!!

[@marinemmmj]

Loved this Q&A! 💛

[@taylorpaigevlogs6012]

OMG! I love how you went through an emo phase! I started my emo/rocker phase when I was 14, I am now 22 and I am still there.... If anything I have evolved into like 80's glam rock + vintage punk which is not only my favourite fashion but also my favourite music!

[@hp62442hp]

Your videos help me tremendously mental-health wise, particularly during these challenging times. Thank you for being such an amazing person Regan!

[@annebarbaralee543]

Just wanted to say thank you for all the video uploads, especially in light of what's been going on. My sanity (or, you know, what's left of it) owes you a huge debt, seriously.

[@SimplySaraReads]

Gawd! I’m in the middle of a torch in the night. I’m now an ember in the ashes fan girl. Soooo gooood!

[@kaity133]

"bEliEvE iT👍" OMG i love you 😂

[@emilyberardi3126]

When I'm in a reading slump I don't pick up any books that I'm expecting or hoping to be new favorites. Starting a book that I think I'll enjoy but not love is a lot less pressure than picking up something I think will be 5 stars. I'm learning that not every reading experience needs to blow me away to be worth my time.

[@magsbookshelf]

Shikamaru and Kakashi are also my crushes. *swoons*. You said “Believe it!” since Naruto says that ALL THE TIME but Shikamaru says “What a drag” and that is totally my go to. Lol.

[@ZeeZeeDreaming]

Good luck with the Reading Rush!

[@TheBookishMom]

Having a list and calendar helps me so much. I have to write it down to keep myself on task.

[@blnortega]

I too fell into a slump. I'm about to finish Call Me By Your Name and am planning to read Scorch Trials, Alien: Phalanx, The Paris Hours, and Little Fires Everywhere next! Very ambitious plans for this week.

[@readsandeats2263]

Great video. Your tips about slumps was very good.

[@daynejespersen3023]

Little Witch Academia! Yes Reagan, it is the sweetest, you're going to love it.

[@queenigelkotte]

IM SO HYPED FOR THE GLASS HOTEL

[@sarwashreethapa1288]

I loveeee youu so muchh btw. You brighten my day haha❤

[@darianasarca4287]

i watched naruto shippuden a few years ago when i was going through exam related stress and the whole ambition message helped me so much i just love it

[@imdcathsmeow]

You're gonna love Little Witch Academia!!! It's basically Harry Potter + Disney + Anime

[@shreeeeeeeeeeeeee]

I agree! It’s a gem!

[@emilyprior474]

happy easter!

[@sirJenr]

Naruto is probably one of my most nostalgic comfort re-watches. But I've actually been rewatching another childhood anime favourite Cardcaptors and I highly recommend it if you want something cute, slice of life-y but with magic!

[@mm4ever2005]

My tip for overcoming a reading slump is to reread one of my favorite books/series. Most of the time it helps reignite my love of reading and my desire to read.

[@kiannamoss4896]

I usually read a graphic novel or two when I'm in a slump. The art work really helps me get back into it.

[@kaceerose4498]

I also chose bookshelves over a dining room table 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@kaity133]

I finally watched Broklyn Nine Nine because of you! It's so funny!!

[@czejuliejulieannmarietoril5299]

Please make a video of tier-ranking book series you've read 💕

[@naplover405]

I LOVE Little Witch Academia. It is so cute and so good!

[@nerdyshitwithjess6893]

I just read Dangerous Alliance the other day and it was fantastic!! Our main character is a delight to read and I was completely sucked in all day. Hope you enjoy it as well 😊😊

[@alejandravelazquez3452]

An anime taht I think you will love is "A place farther than the universe"!! It is so cute and the storylines are beautiful!!!!!!

[@tiffyvariedad6958]

Can you do a book recommendation video based on anime (but no manga)? Love your videos.

[@operativealyssa]

I love your dress! 😍

[@nicolekaiser8333]

"ms. frizzle is my style icon" SAME

[@nina_gc]

Have you watched Demon Slayer? Highly recommend it if you are in search of new anime to watch. Also your bubbly personality makes me feel less depressed about being stuck at home so thank you ❤

[@annadelphia]

Ah, I remember my blue eyeliner emo phase well. I did move onto black (like the rest of my wardrobe), but I also thought that my mom's green concealer stick was great eye shadow. High school was rough.

[@KeepCalmwithBooksandCoffee]

Anberlin! I still love them.

[@yusimirizo9221]

Yay!

[@JenniferPappas92]

Got SO excited when you mentioned the Fruits Basket reboot 😍😍 Also, unpopular opinion: I prefer dubs 🙈

[@a.pop_07]

I need to watch the new Fruits Basket! By far my favorite manga but haven't read or watched it in about ten years! Same goes for Naruto. Hearing you talk about them sure brings up a lot of good memories 😊

[@perpetualpages]

Believe it!!!!! 🍃🍃🍃

[@christinahasd]

Always, thought you remind me of graveyard girl, must be because you both are from Texas. Also, on March I read fantasy for the first time after seeing your video for beginners. Binge read the while series of a darker shade of magic. Best decision of the month.

[@jessicaobrien6748]

Fruitsbasket!! Yes!!!!!

[@cath.is.an.erizen]

When I'm in a reading slump, I actually watch booktube videos, specifically reading vlogs, because it somehow pumps up the reader in me.

[@meganmcmillan5493]

Oh my god Fruits Basket was something that my sister and I used to watch as a kid - it's the most adorable anime

[@enlosmargenes]

Choosing a bookshelf over a dining room table is the most bookish thing I’ve ever heard someone say.

[@NTHEPAGES]

Adding Dangerous Alliance toy TBR!

[@saravallejo3399]

I convinced the hubs to watch Fruits Basket. It was so nice seeing the updated version! Also, I know I'm an outlier, but dubs all the way! I'm a TV knitter and dubs let me knit. And, currently, play Animal Crossing. :)

[@karlamijic8409]

I was in a reading slump for 3 months, until I found that the cure for it, at least for me, is Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. It is a bit insta-love and rediculous, but also so sweet and cute, and it is set in Paris.

[@MrGioGaga]

to get through a reading slump 1. look at pretty book covers 2. realize this book cover is so beautiful I want to know what's in it 3. try reading it 4. if none works, try reading anything by Grady Hendrix 5. if it still doesn't work watch booktube videos and hope one day you could start reading again like those people

[@thecat_iswatching]

If you haven't tried the anime Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu I really recommend it, it was my entry into the wonderful world of anime. :) For a reading slump I normally pick up a book outside of the genre of the last book I read. So for example if the last book I read was fantasy I pick up a historical fiction or contemporary. Sometimes I feel I'm in a book hangover and just need to refresh my mind.

[@megancastleman5331]

I love your chatty videos! Cant wait to see your reading rush vlog! I just posted my first video (a reading rush tbr) and I hope to vlog too😋

[@elzalarcon]

can you show us the device for your laptop that you use to work from your couch??

[@ItsmeRenataa]

omg Fruits Basket gives me the will to live TT.TT

[@txdave]

can you tier rank every series/ or every fantasy series you have ever read?

[@deb_step]

Hey I love Fruits Basket! I’m also watching the remake and loving it! You should give the anime Carole and Tuesday on Netflix a try. It is a relaxing, feel-good show that takes place in the future on Mars. Two girls develop a friendship over music and start a band together.

[@melissadesantis8808]

I listen to booktubers as I am playing Animal Crossing. I was doing that as i listened to you lol we're def an anime family. I got into it few years ago.

[@NTHEPAGES]

Do you have a link for the table/desk/tray that you mentioned?

[@marcopolo3059]

Whenever I have a major reading slump, I read a cliche romance novel that always ends up being in the 1-2 star range. For some reason, decidedly sub-par romances with no plot and unrealistically attractive characters are really great to get me out of a slump.

[@kcomay3270]

Check out Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson. I loved it, it reads like an Austen novel, good characters and will give you all the feels!

[@nelliandbooks]

I'm journalist currently working from home, I have a dining table and a desk but I still work from my couch 😂

[@morganarosana]

I love Naruto, it's the anime of my life. I think you would like Haikyuu too, it's about this team of volleyball and it's all kinds of awesome.

[@samanthahoover7778]

My boyfriend and I are watching Naruto right now, as well! 🍥

[@singingtiger6488]

Hey Reagan! On which platform are you watching Fruits basket? I used to love that manga and would love to watch the show! Thanks!

[@djamilagina3782]

You really should check Lisa Kleypas book " Devil in Spring".

[@AnuragSingh-xj1oc]

i love naruto too

[@noorallawati5390]

Yay anime recs .. i wanted to watch something and this came in time. Eeeek Naruto 😍 i dropped it at some point cause i was pissed about Sasuke xD but now going to pick up where i stopped in Shippuden then the new one 🤩

[@Booklover90]

I plan on reading The Mortal Instruments whichever book I'm on when it starts, A Keeper, and reread Harry potter and the sorcerer's stone. 😁. Also if I'm in a reading slump, audiobooks help! Also going back to my favorite genre.

[@khalifaal-rowaiei4656]

You say that you are not an artist, but you have the most artistic sense of style in your outfits, you’ve got great taste!!! #booktubefashionista

[@EmmyLou220]

okay, we need an Animal Crossing island tour! 👀

[@ashleystephas8582]

You should watch Swordart Online. It is currently on Netflix. It's my favorite.

[@breebryant13]

Have you watched fairytail best anime ever!!!

[@stephaniewalt]

What's the link for the lapdesk?!!

[@135SlimeyKeno]

Will you do a paid review for a independent fantasy novel by a first time author?

[@CATfaceCutie]

Stay safe

[@christeascozycorner]

little witch academia!!!

[@adrianadakins8024]

Me I need to get up also me sees that raegan posted me clicks

[@panienkashy]

I have the haaaardest time leaving books or DNFing them altogether but what does help is just setting a timer for say 30 mins. I put my phone away and I read until the alarm. If that doesn't work at all and there's no hope, I put the book away and start another one in a completely different genre. I generally go back to the one I'd put away because what I really needed was a change of genre. ;)

[@wallacejames221]

Fun fact: I've watched both the sub and dub of My Hero and I think the voice acting + the voices fit better in the dub. Maybe that's just me. I prefer dubs because I struggle a lot with visuals, so if I have to read + watch I can't do it. It's frustrating, but true.

[@sammi3ko]

I love grav3yardgirl! And you are definitely as cool as her :)

[@espeonforever8]

omg shikamaru is bae

[@alyzzamaebatiles5618]

Hi Regan can you share your Anime Watchlist 😄

[@tijanakovac7865]

Ok so we need a recommendations video titled Regancy Romances.
