I think it’s also important to allow ourselves to be in a slump, without forcing ourselves to read. Sometimes that can be a good thing. At the end of the day, we read bc we genuinely enjoy it. For me the biggest challenge has been finishing a book. This past month I’ve been reading only 30%-50% of a book and then I get tired of them. So, my personal goal at the moment is to actually finish a book, regardless of how long it will take

[@eleonoragiannetti3603]

yes, unless the slump is because you are mindlessly sucked in scrolling your phone. Addiction can make you lose track of time and most importantly interest on what you like. If you are not invested in what you are reading and/or busy in other thing that is 1000% ok

[@courtgarris1396]

And I know exactly what you mean about WANTING to read a book.....like when I am at work and can't wait to get home to read....that is the BEST FEELING ☺️

[@liliki333]

😮😅

[@jkitsjenna]

Everybody wake up, Sara posted a new vid

[@ALICE_LOUISE]

So true

[@alisonparker2115]

[@unordinarynikki]

[@mayreadstoomuch]

[@jennreadss]

You and Haley Pham got me back into reading after a YEAR LONG reading slump. I thought I hated reading and had so many books I never read. I got back into books 2 days ago and have already finished 1 book and started a second, I’m so excited to read again

[@panicfvx]

yesssss haley is the reason I started reading and Larry and Sarah are the reasons I have continued🥰

[@Hxrshi_08]

Yayyy!!! Year long slumps are the worst!! I feel you bestie! How many did you read in these past months ??

[@itsmeashley2083]

u should watch Destiney

[@shenandoahshelton8115]

Rereading always helps me out of a slump, like a book you can't remember all the details to but you remember that you've loved it before. Then I read similar books and the slumps gone

[@bridgetanyango3377]

I want to try this...I'm in the worst slump

[@courtgarris1396]

What a wonderful way to start my Sunday 😁 and I have you to credit for getting me out of the WORST slump I've ever been in! Between Ghosted, Magnolia Parks and Darling, Venom I have been reading like a fiend! And now I have all of these!! 😊

[@SaraCarrolli]

Yayyy that makes me so happy!

[@skylarl5101]

i was in the biggest reading slump this whole month and i finally got out of it. i’ve never been this happy

[@lizzieseriy521]

Same! I’m so happy I’m out of mine because I’ve been wanting to start A Court of Mist and Fury and there was no way I was going to start it while I’m a reading slump

[@bunny_koo]

They way i smiled when you were smiling reading “The ballad of never after” because SAME I finished the book like two days ago and i still haven’t recovered cuz I’ve just been so in my feelings over this book.. THE ENDING WRECKED ME. when jacks said “Nothing is of equal value to me” i died. I knew the pain was just beginning. And I’m all here for it. Rant over 😂

[@SaraCarrolli]

THAT QUOTE HAUNTS ME

[@allypagley]

I second this! My favorite fantasy series so glad more people are reading it 🥰

[@OKshesagail]

As an ADHD girly, listening to music with lyrics while attempting to read is a WIIIILD CONCEPTB

[@Demi_Dorks]

Can't be more true😐

[@britterapple]

It was so nice to watch someone come out of a slump ❤ it's such a great feeling 🥰

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Sara is genuinely so relatable! I'm glad you are finding more love for reading again!

[@pharmasix22]

I really feel you. I’m on a slump after i read Archer’s voice. I’m soooooo inlove with the characters im not ready to read another book 😂

[@LeliOtero]

I am currently binge watching your videos because you are my absolute favoritee!!! But what just made it 10 times better for me was knowing I'm not the only one who uses Flora while reading. I can literally never get tired of Sara

[@midnightsun40]

Re-reading works a treat for me. I have a stand-alone and a series that I am forever falling back on when I get in a slump or out of the reading habit.

[@lisaslobodianski8223]

The Ballad of Never After was literally my favourite book this year so far. So glad you read it and Jacks is probably my new fav book boyfriend EVER. You said exactly what I was feeling ..

[@jillian.jm09]

You’ve talked about the kingdom of the wicked book so much lately I need to read it!!❤

[@SaraCarrolli]

Yes! The third is sooo good

[@britterapple]

Same!!!

[@hasti204]

You are so amazing. The way you were honest and showed us everyone got distracted by their phone♥️ made me feel so good and not alone thank you. You are my fave since now😂🫂

[@alii3210]

the best feeling when you read a book is when you were rooting for something like a couple or whatever and it finally happend and you can’t stop re reading the lines because it’s just CHEF KISS 😩

[@justynabaranowska9935]

ive just had the roughest day at work so coming home to this just made my night. hoping when i finish this video it’ll motivate me to read the ballad of never after🤝🏻

[@molly_day14]

I’ve been in a slump the whole of March but started Magnolia yesterday and I’m obsessed! Haven’t felt like this for a book in ages

[@vanesa2103]

Love all your long (30min) reading vlogs!!! Keep them coming!!! 💕

[@chloeblanchard736]

Girl The Ballad of Never After left me SPEECHLESS! I'm so excited to read the next one!

[@cardanswifeyy]

the feeling u were describing like enjoying the book but not feeling it.... so so so relatable! i had a slump like that for two or three months this year it was horrible😭

[@majoenrigue184]

The way I’ve been in a slump since January😭 THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@sweethrtx]

The realistic content is everything :) 💌📚

[@kristinaanxo]

the way I binged read once upon a broken heart and the ballad of never after in 3 days after seeing ur goodsread review!!!! I was obsessedddd and now I’m also chasing that feeling 😭😭😫😭

[@marissasalguero386]

i really needed this video since being in a huge slump after reading better than the movies. that book was just so good, I haven't found another that has interested me until I watched this video♥♥

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Also, can we all just admire how pretty Sara's outfits are❤

[@katebrock2513]

The definition of “it’s me, hi. I’m the problem its me” 😂so felt

[@cambriasipprell]

waking up to a sara video is my favorite type of day

[@-appa-2314]

Watching sara's videos feels like a reward

[@HeatherrrocksBooks]

Omg so I’m currently in a slump so I totally understand how you felt during yours! I love seeing you get so excited over reading - it’s making me want to pick up a book. I think you should continue to do more reading vlogs cause it was so fun to follow along with you! I felt like we were besties lol

[@lexiearrieta]

Everytime I get into a reading slump, I watch booktuber videos like yours, Haley's, Destiny's and a bunch of Fantasy booktubers cause I love fantasy. Also if Im in the middle of a long book and stop reading for a while, I watch spoiler-free reviews to get back into the rhythm of finishing it.

[@SG-kt3vj]

I really don't know what to suggest for you to get out of your slump....bc I watch you guys and BOOM the books appear in my hands! THANK YOU ❤️

[@larimartt]

I truly understand you, I've been in a slump the whole month and the only things that I'm reading are college related... I don't even have the urge to pick up a book, but hopefully this video is going to give me the motivation that I need

[@kierstenhaught7347]

I am in my first trimester of pregnancy and I have symptoms but my biggest one is reading slump…I am so sad! This video is helping me though❤️

[@joellestewart1190]

I had been in a reading slump for about 2 months. It was partly because of the book i finished previously, but a lot was going on in my life. And instead of pushing myself to read something else, i just let myself not read. Reading is supposed to be enjoyable, and at the time it wasnt, it was tasking. A few days ago i was really bored, so i picked one up, and I’m back to enjoying them again! But this go around, I’m actually going to read for enjoyment only. Instead of saying,”I’m going to read this, this, and this, in x amount of time.” I’m reading whatever I want, when i want! Which i dont know why i didnt before, but i am now!

[@melodysonataa]

i get how u feel at the beginning of the video, u read a really good book and u feel like nothing can beat that book! i just finished a trilogy last night and now i feel like nothing will ever beat those books!! but i have a book i wanna read so im gunna start that soon!

[@lilso8411]

i actually love sara’s vlogs 🫶🫶

[@fionaminkus7985]

I can relate to you currently. Wish you the best Sara. May the force of books be with you 😂❤

[@emzzz_]

i have been in a book slump for 3/4 months now and these videos really help because it motivates me. i’m currently reading defy me (last book of the shatter me series) and i’m loving it ❤

[@ahd3379]

i feel like you should do a 'if you liked this book, then you'll like this book'! it'd be really useful because i'm also in a slump and i need book recs similar to books i loved, like magnolia parks, the silent patient, addicted/calloway etc, i would eat that vid upppp

[@tanyaroberts919]

I love the ballad of never after 🎉 it was so good! So excited for the next book. I'm in a slow slump after reading Chain of Thorns...😢😅 I needed this haha!

[@sofiademitri3178]

loved the video, I also go on my phone all the time when i’m reading, but something that really helps with that is leaving it turned off and far from you💗

[@mariamsabry7096]

I'm in an endless reading slump too but I don't even have time to read because of school but watching ur video is giving me motivation to make time for reading and I love ur vids so much ❤

[@mzrazx]

the way you were so happy about the ballad of never after was so cute😭

[@emilyruddock506]

i have most of the twisted set and the ones i have read i absolutely love and most of the time they get me out of a reading slump

[@whatslilareading]

binging sara’s videos as a new fan >>

[@AdriannaPaige]

i love using flora to help me read, clean, study, etc. something about the plant dying just does something to my brain, it doesnt work all time bc i still end up going on my phone 😔 but it’s definitely been helping

[@sinead5494]

this is so helpful I’ve been in a slump for months

[@maddie3099]

I just finished the first Caraval book and I definitely recommend it especially if you loved Once Upon a Broken Heart! Immediately started the second book because the first one was so good 🤩

[@samyaahmed_]

the magnolia parks collection sitting on your shelf is SO PRETTY i need to buy n read the rest

[@elizabethmoore7849]

The throne of glass series are so fast paced and got me out of a reading slump

[@clary1120]

One of my biggest tips of getting out of a slump is rereading my favorite books, or at least parts of it!! Adore youu Sara!!! Love this video!! 💕

[@katerinaj.wilson8445]

oh my gosh i’ve read like 2 books this month. i needed this video😭

[@samhern785]

bestie the blue set is STUNNNNING

[@SaraCarrolli]

ITS SO CUTE

[@neystevens]

where is it from??

[@SaraCarrolli]

@@neystevens cotton on!

[@lismaryarandamartinez]

Thank you for being so real about this and really showing how it is to be in a reading slump

[@skybrookey]

Love that youre using a focus app! you should try forest instead. There are cuter trees and you can track anything with subjects. Loved the video

[@yanelyxr]

bestie the slick back pony is such a slay🫡!

[@SaraCarrolli]

Omg thank u bestie 🤭

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I get so happy when I watch Sara’s videos❤ I’m wishing you so much happiness and good reads!

[@radostgancheva9122]

I get so excited every time I see Sara has posted a video! ❤

[@korilakkitten]

HIII SARA, thank you so much for uploading. Im in a reading slump rn but your recommendations always help

[@nathalievega4413]

I’ve had so many reading slumps, you are so right about one book ruining everything else. I liked mile high but I loved the second book the right move so much more so I think I know what you’re saying.

[@isabelletheafoland]

I have been in a reading slump lately too and this video made me pick up a book!! Thank you Sara :)

[@AleenaSaf]

I was literally gonna continue binge watching your older videos but you uploading today changed the game bestie 😩✨

[@14.ankitadas76]

I genuinely love your voice so much its so calming! One of the main reasons why i love you so much ❤️

[@MalloryJPage]

the ballad of never after is just 😭😭😭 perfection & pain

[@chapterswithchrissy]

sara!! i love your blush it looks so pretty :)

[@SaraCarrolli]

ILY!! Thank u 🥹

[@imeneblm7024]

Literally this morning I went on yt and I was like ‘it been a long time sara hadn’t posted’. So happy right now😁😁

[@gigistewart4507]

sara you should do a video of swapping your screen time for reading for a week!!

[@TorturedFolklore]

I think it’s tough these days with booktok. There’s is expectation to read soooo many books monthly that I can see why people getting into these so called slumps. When really reading only a few books or a couple a month should be normal. Maybe it’s just me that thinks that. Don’t beat yourself up too much. Sometimes after you read so much, giving yourself a break is necessary. When reading becomes more of work versus enjoying it that’s when the fun is taken out of it.

[@mollyshaw5411]

i can relate to this so much cause i’ve been on a reading slump for like 3 months😩 also SARA THAT BLUE SWEAT SUIT LOOKS SO CUTE ON YOU😍😍😍

[@SaraCarrolli]

THANK YOU!

[@cschaubhut]

this was so realistic, THANK YOU for sharing this 😭❤️

[@yaelmayer]

The way I immediately ordered My Dark Romeo after watching this video... so excited to read it!!

[@juliakoczor]

how did u find it?? i just finished it and it was NOT what i expected at all AHAHA

[@jasmineijo]

Video ideas: another blind date with a book reading challenge, reading books outside of your norm, reading random books you’ve never heard of before. I feel like everyone is recommending the same books these days! Some hidden gems need to be uncovered 💎

[@marie-claireee]

Lol the phone is literally me and I love how when you started reading Fantasy you said it’s too much for you to understand and now you are literally perfect at explaining any fantasy book 🫶🏼🤍

[@katrineserop5500]

JUST CAME HOME FROM MY WALK, AND THIS IS THE FIRST NOTIFICATION I SEE ON MY SCREEN! CRYING OF JOY❤️😭

[@maiadb9037]

one thing that always helps me whenever im reading and i constantly go to my phone is hiding your phone or just putting it in a place where you can't see it as you read, like a drawer or in another room, hope this helps!

[@saraonashelf]

What i do during book slumps is revisit my favorite book. I have two from middle school that i love dearly and relate to. Ive read them so much its nearly torn but i dont have the heart to replace them. I only read them now for book slumps and i find that 90% of the time it works.

[@ju8858]

It’s so nice to see that reading slump is something that happens to everyone and this video is so real for that ! Also i really want you to read the first game of thrones book

[@armyst_0797]

Thanks for uploading this video sara😭💖🫂 I'm in the reading slump tooo and its taking everything in me to keep going 😭truly thankful.. sending you lots of love 💖💖

I came back to this video after finished The Ballad of Never After because the first time I watched it I didn't even want your reaction as a spoiler 😂 im so glad you loved it because I'm dying right now waiting for the next book 😫😫

[@Olive-vf8up]

I was in a book slump for 3 months, and all of a sudden I just decided I really wanted to read.

[@bellahewish9955]

[@TuesdayBarron]

this vlog makes me SO happy because i am in the biggest reading slump ever (crown of midnight is killing me unfortunately) and i was planning to read once upon a broken heart next, so hopefully it'll pull me out!! 💗

[@shriyapatel63]

this video couldn’t have come at a better time, since finishing love and other words i haven’t been able to get through a single book. reading slumps are the absolute worst😫

[@user-lo3zy2pu9l]

Magnolia Parks is my new favorite series of all time. Nothing is going to top it and now im always going to chase that feeling. Its awful!!

[@ishitavinodnair6269]
