My roommate and I used this to study for our college finals, we would love more. And different background noises like rain would be awesome, the crackling fire was so nice.

[@hell0imamanda]

I really like this style of video, it makes me feel like I'm reading with someone :) Also I read about 35 pages, clearly you are a much faster reader than me lol

[@mayra000]

I’m reading “the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo” and you should definitely do more videos like this I enjoyed it.

[@chiharo8468]

That was absolute heaven! Please make more of these. I love watching these types of videos (study/read with me)

[@Ghostly-00]

That's how it goes sometimes lol

[@abigaillrodriguez6400]

Funny thing is I've been looking for this for a while. When I was in school I would watch real life study videos and it honestly helped me so much, and it inspired me. I'm so happy you made this and I honestly think this will help me with a slump I've been slowly getting into!! ❤

[@adelaideisbooked6600]

I just started that! How are you liking it so far? I'm only on like page 20 or so lol

[@essxsolo]

@@Raven_Nivhaar I'm now at page 400 and it's super crazy weird, still don't know if I hate it or love it though lol

[@Raven_Nivhaar]

@@essxsolo lol well that's interesting. So far I can't tell if the kid is dreaming or if anything is ACTUALLY happening :P But again, I'm SUPER early into the story. Hopefully it ends up being a book you love, rather than hate, not only because the former is much more fun, I'd hate to dedicate the time to reading an 800+ page book only to hate it.

[@taylor197]

I’m currently reading my most anticipated 2019 book, ‘Ninth House’ !! Absolutely LOVING it so far btw!

[@ellabradley4219]

Why did this make me smile? Its just you look so content and happy when you were reading

Zoe, this was so nice. Helped me get through a few chapters, and the companionship made me feel less alone. Please do more videos like this.

[@alyssam2602]

This was actually helpful. I get sleepy reading some times no matter how invested I am and when this came out i didn't have a lot of time to read. I am reading the sixth book in the Keepers of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger, and it kept me focus to look up and see someone else reading with me. I don't have a lot of friends who love reading, and I don't have anyone that would just sit and read with me, but it was relaxing and soothing with the sound of the fireplace. Please do another one like this if possible. I love all of your videos Zoe! Keep up the great work!

[@nelblack4829]

Yes please can you do this again it was relaxing and i am actually sad that it finished early and also you read way to quick like am a slow reader but this was fun and interesting so do more please 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️
