Swapping my Screen Time with Reading Time

[@nolahelene9703]

wait you planned to read 6 hours and then actually read for 6 hours?? my respect...

[@Zooeyharrysver]

Ikr

[@thunderorlightning7272]

my screentime is reading time. fanfiction is a commitment

[@lex7176]

i read dial A for aunties because of you! definitely one of my fav recent reads. the combo of genres actually worked so well and didn’t feel like anything was forced. the humor and seriousness was definitely well balanced :)

[@JustAli]

Agreed! I was surprised how much I liked the combo of genres. A super fun read

[@kingtoph86]

0:34 my average screen time is 9 hours 🫣

[@nolahelene9703]

really cool video by the way, I love the way you talk so passionately about the books and their characters :))

[@sarahdenton7559]

When I watch these kinds of videos I always feel so guilty for watching the video instead of reading 😂 Great video btw! You’ve been one of my top KZbinrs recently. Ahhhh I just love your channel!

[@mary_book]

Omg!!!! I LOVE swapping my screen time with reading time videos! I watched your first video a hundred times! I love reading soo much! Your videos are so cool Ali! Greetings from Germany

[@JustAli]

Awww thank you for your kind comment!! Glad you're loving the videos❤️

[@MaddisonAria]

I always loveee these kind of videos!! like am obsessed! Fun fact, you brought me back into reading! I’ve been watching you for almost one year now and I still get excited every time you upload a new video!! I’m a really slow reader and I struggle to read for a long time or to start, so this kind of videos really motivates me! :D my current read is All your perfects by Colleen Hoover! Have a lovely day! ❤

[@JustAli]

Aww thank you for your kind comment! I hope you love all your perfects. I haven’t read it yet but I want to soon!!

[@karentochsreadingcorner]

I really want to do this video but I am on my phone for like 6-7 hours a day so I am scared lol. Love your glasses picks!🤓💝

[@NatashaW1]

Mine yesterday was 15 hours.... Mine today is just short of an hour (mainly from when I left my phone on when I fell asleep) 😭

[@aestheticcontentforyou]

I love the selection series! I can't wait for you to read the rest, you're going to love them!

[@Ems.nail.studio]

Reminders of him was SO GOOD. I was crying at work reading it

[@reneegrace4626]

When I’m in a book slump your videos make me want to read so much🥰 love your videos thank you for doing what you do❤️❤️

[@kimberleykhoo]

I love dial A for aunties!! I’m Singaporean Chinese so I love the Indonesian and Chinese dialogue and I love seeing other people love it!!!

[@Joshua-Gerald]

I would love to try this challenge! Sounds so fun!

[@laurennicole9160]

i love these videos!! also i’m envious that you can read while propped up on your shoulders! mine scream when i try to do that hahah

[@graceallsop8705]

your reading challenges >>>>

[@SandeeLawunsathien]

love your vids so much Im out of my reading slumb because of u! ❤

[@thethriftyfawn]

Really love this screen time swapped with reading time concept! I would most certainly enjoy watching another one in the future, if another one was posted. And... really want that reading chair too! Would love to know where it's from/what brand it is! 😄

[@maditate9392]

i love your reading vlogs!! please do more of them, you're so good at them

[@aestheticcontentforyou]

I love the concept of you annotating the books for your giveaway!

[@lonzamae6131]

I love david levithan's books! I highly recommend "Everyday" by him as well. It's one of my favorites and it's a trilogy!

[@sasysuen13]

I just finished reading The Spanish love deception today and Omg the hype is so true! so good 🥰 i loved it

[@lovescvffeexbooks9247]

my favourite type of videos. enjoyed it so much!!

[@Rriiikko]

my average screen time is like 9 hours … cause i watch youtube or netflix on my phone 24/7. some days screen time is over 11 hours

[@cantdoacateye]

HAIIII!! IM SO GLAD TO BE EARLY!!! (Ive been hooked on your channel ever since you went to New Braunfels and I was able to go to all the stores you reccomended)

[@JustAli]

Ahhh that makes me so happy you were able to check out the new braunfels book shops :)

[@emmehuntt]

The selection is becoming a movie ❤!!

[@sophianowack]

I love this video concept!!

[@delia9529]

Here's an idea. How about a vlog with the entire Miss Peregrine series. It also has romance and the supernatural.

[@riddles610]

I totally agree with you about ‘Him’. I’ve read the sequel and it’s just as Wattpad-y. They’re so physical and they hardly communicate!

[@paolamarquezgarrido2508]

Aaaaaaa I love this dinamic! Thank you so much!

[@em._.345]

i looove this kind of video🫶🏼 my screentime‘s about 3h a day:)

[@suspirinicolo]

I just started following you on printerest and i love your videos they are ABSOLUTELY amazing have an amazing evening!

[@awpageofabook]

I need to do this, my screen time is ridiculous!

[@ohmygodrachel572]

Really love your energy and vids!!!!!!! ❤

[@LolaArch_]

[@sincerelymadigrace]

[@Fictionaldairies]

oh God, as of now I am reading Reminders of him and now I am way more excited to complete that!

[@laurenbosworth546]

The selection reminded me of the hunger games combined with the bachelor! I loved it!!!

[@tomodinoo]

This is such a good idea!

[@noony8360]

love this video and when i read the selection i instantly read book 2 but now im not sure if i should read book 3 or the novella first but i remember a couple videos back you were saying you want a way to communicate with us and you can try discord you can make a server where we can join and we can all talk to each other its like a group chat but its free and i think your going to love it

[@mariaialcantara]

My screen time is usually 5-7 hours 😅 But I’m definitely trying to get off my phone and read more. I just finished Me Before You, and I highly recommend!

[@mayamaceko2804]

I read on the train the most haha so relaxing if there are no kids on it

[@haledidem7795]

i was waiting for this video!😆

[@elainakasper]

i just got out of another slump but I try and read as much as I can all the time I’m on the 3rd selection book and omg-

[@paimon2532]

Bro this is so… I’m speechless ok but this is so idk but I think it’s good for you!

[@maryblairpultz5988]

your dress on Monday is so cute!

[@JustAli]

Thank you!!

[@alihnagrandos]

girl one day last week my screen time was 15 hours, to be fair i did read on my phone for a long time but still….

[@sistersgroup7134]

This is such a great idea!

[@dreamer626]

I read the most in the early mornings like from 7am to 9am and before bed!

[@12speed]

I'm getting a book published.. "Band Practice" will be on the Amazon in a couple of weeks..

[@46bigguys]

I like to read at like 3 AM I do a lot of really late night reading

[@dagmardinjens6939]

This is a sign! I really have to get of my damn phone!😅

[@evadomasikova7097]

OH MY GOSH ALI POSTEDDDDD

[@Nothing6nothing9]

Today I spent 14h and 40 m and it's only 3:40 pm. I listen to music while sleeping so it's on the whole night.

[@frieda6455]

i loveeeee your videos so much ❤️

[@yelenabelova2795]

My favourite time to read is during school bc I don’t have to listen to the teacher if I’m reading

[@ashleybatacchi7344]

After the cheat sheet by Sarah evans im reading reminders of him so excited 😆

[@MillisThings]

Oh wow! I read reminders of him before the cheat sheet! That’s cool!

[@elainabooks]

The one is even better

[@belindagarrido2116]

Yasssss I also just did this too!!! Really helped with my mental health

[@JustUrAveragePotterhead]

U should def read stargazing by Jen Wang, it's a tearjerker but it's so good+it's a graphic novel

[@bellaswan531]

my average screen time when i dont have school is literally 17 hours

[@elisazouza]

I need to do this if I could wake up early

[@somiayasser]

I want to do this but my screen time is currently 11hrs a day so I’m not so sure 😀

[@noorschapter6540]

Guilty 🫥

[@Joejpg]

HELLO ALI HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY LY

[@JustAli]

THANK YOU!! ily2 :)

[@CHENF0RDS]

i cant read for 10 hours but i can scroll on instagram for 10 hours 😭

[@chajsni]

Ive been wanting to read The Selection Series for soo long now. Does the first book ends on a cliffhanger???? I hate that honestly

[@noony8360]

yes it dose but if your going to buy it get the first and second book so when you finish is you can read the second book instantly but the books are really good but now i cant get the third books nor the novellas because my mother has told me to read all my books that i still haven’t read which is actually good since now im actually reading books ive wanted to read

[@mary_book]

You HAVE to read the series!!! I read them in summer and they were FANTASTIC! I love them sooooo much!!! I read 1,2 and 3. book 4 and 5 you don’t have to read ✨💗

[@chajsni]

@@noony8360 yea i totally understand you. Books are really expensive especially in my country. Hence why ive been contemplating to start on such a huge series.

[@chajsni]

@@mary_book omg you are a saviour!! Thank you so much i will run to the bookstore now!!! ❤️

[@noony8360]

@@mary_book i will

[@suspirinicolo]

You should definitely do a video about how you annotate

[@giovannxgio]

mine is..12hrs

[@elisevdberg]

'Him' has a second book called 'Us' and a novella called 'Epic' if you are interested in a sequel!

[@juliew5358]

i just checked my screen time- to see if this would even be reasonable for me… and my average screen time is a little over 9 hours a day… my jaw is DROPPED

[@camillevallee714]

I feel like it's most difficult and impressive a book that make you cry of happiness for the character than a book who make you cry by sadness. I don't know if you understand what i said (sorry i'm not english ^^')

[@JustAli]

AGREED!! I understood perfectly and completely agree :)

[@kaitlinbell874]

when i read the selection i pictured ali as america for some reason.

[@nataliesanchez9938]

I read the most in school and before bed

[@ibrahimlovesblink]

i really love ur looks

[@arielmarie8493]

I am currently reading a book by a german author. But i honestly dont think it will be translated to english. He is a pretty small author but its such a great fantasy series 🙈

[@ariannarichardson9132]

my average is 7 hrs, but it used to be like 10 hrs so i'm just glad it's gone down lmao. trying to get it to at most 4 hrs average but we will see. also, im currently reading good girl bad blood, the sequel to a good girls guide to murder

[@isabelletheangel]

i just looked at my screen time cause i’ve been wanting to for a while and keep forgetting and how did i get to 12 hours yesterday???? i could never read for that long😂😂

[@starlenee777]

Please do book review of Shadow and bone series or dan brown books or elif shafak books ?

[@ImTheOnlyRealBanana]

Help my screen time is like 11 hrs……

[@juliette5167]

I'm currently reading book lovers but I don't like it so far? I've also read people we meet on vacation by this author and I'm not a big fan of her. Am I the only one? I saw everyone hyping up her books so much on TikTok... and Ali you really made me want to read the selection now lol. I already have it so I might put book lovers on hold and start reading the selection because of you. btw I love these videos, you should do them more often. love xx

[@melanymunoz800]

hii! can you please read a book called “then she was gone” it’s about a girl named ellie and she disappears it’s kinda disturbing but it’s interesting to read

[@nanu_13]

In The Selection there is no love triangle. There is only Maxon (and some other guy who can't understand that his ex doesn't want him anymore...)

[@rubikastrun3277]

Hey Ali... I just wanted to ask you, what's your profile on Goodreads?

[@JustAli]

Here’s the link: www.goodreads.com/user/show/138801181

I'm like 13 hours on my phone but I read on my phone so it makes sense😭😭 I need to lower it 😭

[@tyler_readsnrambles]

if i ever do this challenge, i could be screwed 😵 my screen time has been SO awful lately. average is around 4 hours, but some days it could go up to 11 hours 👀 like um how do i read for 11 hours 💀

[@lilacnovaz]

my daily average for last week was 5 1/2 hours 🙂

[@ginaward6370]

I love video I love and if I have wait for my ride I before I go to bed I have hang bag say go away im reading and pink head bands that say go away I’m read

[@albamoser1284]

you might love the A Court of Thorns and Roses series if you loved the love-triangle in The Selection :) It's also not too spicy until the 4th book or so (the last one (as of Sept 2022) is VERY spicy, I fee like - loads of sexual tension)

[@JustAli]

Oooo adding it to my TBR ✍🏻 it sounds like I would love it
