this video ends when I'm out of my READING SLUMP 📚😣

[@jaimefok]

what do you do to get out of a reading slump?

[@Lonelygravesidewriter]

Listen to audiobooks and wait it out, I'm not sure how effective it is but oh well😂

[@Violet_Purple688]

I read it with a goal. Like 60 pages a day until I feel myself wanting to read more. That always seems to work.

[@jaimefok]

@@Lonelygravesidewriter ohh good idea!

[@jaimefok]

@@Violet_Purple688 that’s a good method!

[@ilse7240]

Give myself a break from reading. The first book I pick up after the break will be the book I'm MOST excited to read and KNOW I will love.

[@Addams8888]

I'm a mood reader so I find picking up a book difficult

[@jaimefok]

I feel this!

[@micklafrance1899]

I'm a mood reader so it's usually a book a day or nothing for months. 😅 Sometimes a quick, lighthearted fanfic or novella helps.

[@jaimefok]

Lol REAL

[@thefitnessfoodfairy3389]

I love how creative you're getting with these book challenges!😄🤍

[@jaimefok]

YAY!

[@shoulddraw]

I`m not leaving comments often, but your videos are always a huge comfort boost for me. Thank you

[@jaimefok]

Omg thank you so much!! Appreciate the comment today ❤️❤️

[@larimartt]

I am so happy that you liked Six Crimson Cranes!!! I love this duology so much, this world is so magical ❤

[@jaimefok]

I can’t wait to read the next book!

[@milanova5061]

This is exactly why I love audiobooks! Sitting down and reading makes me so tired to the point that I lose interest in the book. It can also be difficult to even find the time to sit down to read. I usually listen to an audiobook while doing chores.

[@jaimefok]

@@milanova5061 that’s great!

[@jadelee_jl]

Yes! Another video!. Now you have gotten me excited for Six Crimson Cranes.

[@jaimefok]

YAY excited for you!

[@FutureSakuraStar99]

Ahhh I’m so happy that you read Six Crimson Cranes!! I hope you read The Dragon Promise when you get the chance 😊 Would love to hear your thoughts about it!

[@jaimefok]

Just ordered it hehe

[@HannahlovesStories]

You should definitely read Legendborn soon! I just finished it and it got me out of my own reading slump! Highly recommend 💙

[@jaimefok]

It’s so high on my TBR!

YAYYY READ IT ❤️

[@shelleylawrence8397]

I just keep trying different books until I find one that clicks. Usually in a favorite genre.

[@jaimefok]

YES! I wish I could stop books partway through bc this sounds great

[@juilie3287]

Sorry for being late this week 😅 I really enjoyed it alot, Thank you ❤

[@jaimefok]

YAY! Glad you enjoyed ❤️ never too late!

[@serenity8910]

It's the opposite for me, I've been on a roll reading wise! I read A Study in Drowning, Funny Story, Once Upon a Broken Heart, the sequel and Butcher & Blackbird back to back and I've never read this fast. Five Broken Blades is next and I feel like this reading burst is not ending anytime soon!

[@jaimefok]

Omg that’s AMAZING!! How did you like a study in stowing? It’s still on my shelf 😂

[@serenity8910]

@@jaimefok I gave it 3 stars! I liked some aspects (the setting, the themes explored) and others not so much (underdeveloped characters and plotlines, plot holes). A lot of people say it's dark academia but I disagree. It's more gothic IMO. And there's a big focus on trauma and anxiety. Overall, a lot more deep and serious of a read than I initially thought, which is not a bad thing.

[@selcanqurbanli]

when i was in reading slump i just litteraly cant read anything for weeks so girll! i think you did pretty good job

[@jaimefok]

LOL TY ❤️

[@paytonouber6448]

Reading slumps are such a struggle. It’s hard to know what book is actually going to be good enough to get you out of the slump. I’m currently in a slump from reading a 5 star book and not finding anything that is living up to that one. (But maybe I should check out Six Crimson Cranes) Also, you should save Life’s Too Short for the winter Holiday season. It’s set around that time and would just add to the coziness. I really enjoyed it and almost teared up a few times while reading it.

[@jaimefok]

Definitely check out six crimson cranes, I loved it so much! OHHHH ok will consider saving it haha- it’s so high on my TBR, I might get impatient waiting 😂

[@lydialin119]

Immediately got six crimson cranes after seeing you rave it! I just found my recent five star read - daughter of no worlds trilogy! Give it a try sometime 😊

[@jaimefok]

That’s awesome!! I’ve heard a lot about that one- I wasn’t the biggest fan of the serpent duology by her- think I’d still like it?

[@lydialin119]

@@jaimefokyea I remember you didn’t like serpent of the wings. I think no harm giving the first book a try ☺️ the daughter of no worlds trilogy is free on kindle unlimited~ maybe you can explore the possibility of making a video on KU too if you decide to subscribe? 😆

[@witandlearning]

Reading slumps are so hard! I haven’t read much in days but all my Libby holds are coming in at the same time 😅

[@jaimefok]

Oh noooo!! 😂

[@paytonouber6448]

I swear Libby does that on purpose. It will be nothing for a while and you are scrounging for books to read, and then all of a sudden you are bombarded with every book you have on hold at the same time.

[@Violet_Purple688]

Heyyy Jaime!!! I'm so happy you posted!!!❤

[@jaimefok]

YAY HI❤️

[@Faithful_Fork]

Good morning Jamie 😊😊😊 This is the perfect video for me rn

[@jaimefok]

Good morning!! So glad ❤️

[@meloveschocolate]

I have no clue how to get myself out of my reading slump, I also binged the latest season with a friend this weekend lol

[@jaimefok]

With a friend sounds so fun!!

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Your kitty is so adorable ❤

[@jaimefok]

RIGHT? ❤️

[@ekstanding]

I will say as the one person who said Legendborn I'm not upset you chose Six Crimson Cranes since I've also read everything within that universe and have loved them all 😂

[@jaimefok]

😂😂

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I need to read Butcher & Blackbird 😤

[@jaimefok]

Do it!!

[@myrsini.1208]

Personally, when I am in a reading slump I give myself the time to recover and do other activities and then usually I pick up a book with many short stories, like a Raymond Carver book

[@jaimefok]

I love that!

[@arianevaillancourt]

I loved Six Crimson Cranes. 🥰

[@jaimefok]

IT WAS SO GOOD

[@palkoeszter5766]

I'm currently half way through the second book of Six crimson cranes (The dragon's promise) and I'm loving it so far just as much as I loved the first book

[@jaimefok]

OH YAY! I need to get a copy asap

[@stuartgriffin1001]

I'm glad you got out of your reading slump. And that it was Six Crimson Cranes that got you out of it. I have the book, but have yet to read it. Earlier this year, I was in a reading slump. I tried to get out of it by reading cozy, light books. Then I read The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi. It is the opposite of cozy. It really drew me in. I was invested in the characters. I realized that i need to read intense books that engross me. I can mix them with the cozy books. But just reading cozy books doesn't work for me

[@jaimefok]

Oh that’s great!! Hope you enjoy six crimson cranes when you get to it

i immediately followed you on goodreads because it sounds like we have the same taste in books! i also don’t mind spice, but would prefer less spice in my books. have you read any books from katherine center? i was recently in a slump and her two most recent books got me out of feeling slumpy.
