swapping my SCREEN time with READING time 📵📚

[@wings9177]

Her maximum screen time was 6 hours.... my MINIMUM is six hours 😭😭 my maximum was ten hours I need to smash my phone right now immediately

Mine was 12h and 46 minutes. That's not the maximum, it's the average

My max was 18 hrs 💀

Mine when I deleted KZbin was like 1-2 hours per day and then with KZbin it's 4-12 hours per day 😭😭

bella - swapping screentime with reading time me * with embarrassing amount of screentime already, watching her do that and adding another 50 minutes to that* - hmm interesting

[@dawn3927]

LITERARILY LITERALLY

[@ramirez4630]

My screen time is 9 hours or more per day, I’m really ashamed 😂. Anyway i think it’s probably ‘cause I didn’t have a phone for about 2 months and I received the new one just less than a week ago.

no way, I thought great expectations was his best book :o

@@throneofpages well i haven't read that one yet, I've heard that it's one of his best! I got through Oliver Twist, Nicolas Nickleby, The Pickwick Papers, A Christmas Carol (which was good), Bleak House (dnfed) and one or two more, but I don't remember the titles now. I'm definitely not giving up on him, but after my first experience of loving A Take of Two Cities I just can't help being underwhelmed with his other works

Well done for getting through this challenge! All year I’ve been making a conscious effort to pick up my book rather than my phone. I’m still averaging just over 3 hours of screen time a day so there’s more improvement to be had!

I’m making this challenge and my Monday screen time for last week was 9 hours!!! I don’t know if I can read that much but at least giving it a try

Omg! I’m so intimidated to read the first book. Your reaction just made me so excited. I have left this book to be my “hibernation” read 😅shit I can’t wait now.

[@mickaelaamberskinner142]

for one, i love this idea of a challenge! you are certainly not alone with having the need to always pick up your phone (calling myself out lol) you’ve definitely inspired me to try to do this as well. during your weak moments, you still pushed through and i congratulate you for that. but don’t be so hard on yourself when you’re trying to read in 6 hours, that’s a lot! don’t feel pressured because of the camera. listen to your body and take that needed break to watch Gilmore girls!! haha. i love your honesty, it’s so hard to find genuine people to watch and enjoy their content. thank you for sharing, and you did awesome girl!! 🎉❤

I’m glad you enjoyed the new Sarah J Maas book. I’ve been so nervous to pick up those books because I’ve heard not so great things, but based on your reaction I may actually grab them the next time I’m book shopping to see how I fell 😊

[@SpectrumDelta]

I dont know if you decided to pick one up yet, BUT Throne of Glass is my favorite series, by her and in general. Its more high fantasy where Crescent CIty and A Court of Thorns and Roses are more romance. I have not read Crescent City, but even so, I highly recommend TOG.

I DNF’d House of Sky and Breath like 6 months ago because i was so very bored (about 300 pages in) but you really make me wanna pick it back up lol

At my worst, my phone usage a day average was 10+ hours (and that being mostly social media like Twitter and Facebook, not even watching youtube). I had a BIG problem, lmfao!

Commenting at the end : I loved your video! The books you've read seems so interesting, especially Emma and Spy Family so thank you for sharing.

On the list is "Beautiful world, where are you" (soooo hard to get through.. I don't get the hype - maybe the ending is it?) and "before the coffee gets cold" - kind of cute, but still also don't get the hype. But I'm going to try to finish those two and then..
