trying to get out of a reading slump 🥲 [ reading vlog! ] 📚

[@beautifulmama862]

I so needed this video...I've been in a slump on and off since November and its making my depression worse and I just feel sad.....thank you for sharing this ❤

[@desireehicks6228]

The book series the naturals git me out of mine at the begining of the year that i had after readding iron flame

[@benedictaagha277]

Start with a 5 star re read love. I swear it cured my book slump. I havent read a book since October and finished 4 in jan.

[@daniellewibalda]

This video and all the comments made me feel so much better about being in a reading slump the past few months. I'm glad I'm not alone in that

[@SarahsCozyCorner]

30 MINUTES OF RACHEL THIS MORNING?? What a treat 😍😍😍

[@sharonlovesbooks]

Up until September last year I was in a reading slump for around 2 years where I didn't read hardly any books. Last year from September I started reading again and I managed to read 41 books in 2023. I think the best thing with a reading slump is to let it pass, they are horrible things to go through but like everything else it will pass 💕

[@abbeyfrancis4390]

Same! But I only properly started again in December and I’ve finished 5 books since.

[@hannahcoombes6257]

this is helping so much right now because I am in a slump and I need motivation. Thanks Rachel

[@christyxmuk]

3:12 that's so true!! once i pick up the book, i read for 1 hour+ but then actually picking up the book is so difficult... the book is by my bed side table and i know i can just reach for it but something in my head always says just go on your phone instead 😒 its not even like my book is boring either! my book is interesting and im liking it too 😔 (it's archer's voice)

[@tianamoore6672]

I’ve been in a slump since November 😔. Your videos are the most inspiring, motivating things to watch. Are you going to be doing a 2023 wrap up! I’ve been so excited for it!!!! Much love ❤❤❤

[@macaylahbortner913]

I love incorporating both the audio and physical reading experience into my books when I can! It does something to my brain that helps me focus & remember more of what I’m reading, and I just feel like it makes my reading so much more enjoyable!

[@lizbeth.lowpez]

As someone that works in a bookstore: Young Adult feels weird sometimes because technically the age range is 13-18. Which is very broad and a 13 year old is definitely not on the same level as an 18 year old.. but it is what it is 😭

[@AshleyJade18]

"Everyone's slump is different" ... True, because how you described your 'slump' sounds like my regular reading habits... For Example: It takes me 10 ish days to read a standard rom com or thriller = 10 hours on my Kindle and i am soooo content with that. 😍💖

[@whatslilareading]

omg perfect timing, i’ve been in a pretty bad slump for most of January😭 i’m gonna watch this right away, thank you Rachel!🩷

[@MariaClara-kv7sg]

Almost 30 minutes of Rachel!!!! I'm so happy ❤

[@EmmieK]

Currently also in a slump and I always get anxious that it won't go away, so this video is right on time!!!

[@halliesmolinske]

I’m just starting to get out of a slump I’ve been in since late October of 2023. I’ve wanted to read again but nothing was catching my attention. Like you said it’s been nice to not force myself to do it and that helped me so much! I’m now wanting to read and I love it!

[@bookthoughtswitheilish]

Audiobooks and crafting is the best! I love love love listening to a book while updating my reading journal 💕

[@medmariajourney3192]

I’ve been in a reading slump since October and it’s so bad 😢😢 usually I read 8-12 books every month but since October I couldn’t read more than 2 books a month so that’s making my depression so much worse. Thank u for this video I really needed it ❤

[@OnniesJournal]

Ugh. I have been in a reading slump this month. It's been awful! Glad I'm not alone. Winstonnnnnnn!!!!! You're so toot! ❤

[@Taabea]

Your dog is the CUTEST thing ever 😭😭

[@jessica_kate]

Hi Rach loved this video ❤Giving me motivation to get out of my reading slump. Just wondering how and where you listen to your audio books?

[@wonderheythere]

The white top at 9:00 is so flattering!

[@kiarablanche1702]

I’ve been in a reading slump since the start of the new year! As someone who normally reads about 10 books a month I’ve only read three this month and haven’t felt like picking up my books at all!

[@marynbooks0622]

The outfits!!! Omg!!! So cute ! 🤩 🔥

[@abbeyfrancis4390]

Girl you gotta get out the slump, Magnolia parks is out on the 13th! ❤ (I started them cause of you and I read all 4 in January 😂)

[@abbeyfrancis4390]

Love that you listen to audiobooks too! I know people that are like ‘that’s not actually reading, that’s cheating’ etc. but that means I can physically read and also listen in the car and at work

[@sarahbisso6777]

so funny! I started to learn to crochet this month and I've been in a reading slump bcs of it. I just crochet all day lol

[@emmaskapetis7603]

This video is so relatable. I was in such a bad reading slump last year and it was taking me a month to finish books. Iron flame got me out of it in November but it comes after I finish a book until I get into the next one.

[@tiffanyleigh7114]

I would love to see a video on how you annotate your books! Love your channel btw 💛

[@Showtunediva]

I think I will be hitting a slump soon because I have been reading non stop based on recommendations I’ve gotten from you,Destiny, Haley and Sara since Jan 1st. Thanks btw. You guys are amazing. ❤

[@awildernessofbooks]

I’m loving your videos. My five year old is loving the show “Izzy’s Koala World”. It’s safe to say we’re both in our Aussie era and it’s bringing us so much joy!

[@wiktoriawiktoria0912]

i think the fragile threads of powers is supposed to be more of a continuation (with a little twist and new characters etc) to the shades of magic trilogy rather than a spin off but i might be wrong but i’m soooo excited to read it!!!

[@littlefox9436]

Thank you so much for the Tattered And Torn series recommendation! I’m absolutely loving the first book in the series. It reminds me of the Edens series, but maybe even better. Thanks!

[@ariannevilleneuve729]

As always, I LOVE your videos

[@Intentionally_jodie]

I think rather than putting more pressure on yourself and possibly pushing yourself in to burn out 6 am is early enough just give yourself permission to start whatever you have planned after reading after 6 am . Just give something up or push it back or half the time s your doing things rather than making it even harder 💕

[@_shi._.mee_8181]

Rachel you need to read the dark verse series by runyx. I was literally in a slump and now I can't stop thinking about the first two books. IT'S REALLY GOOD.

[@giovannarodrigues8420]

I'm proud of yoooooou!!!

[@caitlincarter3051]

Your ability to casually power through the world's biggest series when you're slumpy is honestly such a flex.

[@caitlingrace08]

I've been in a reading slump for a few weeks... I started rereading my fav series but now idk what to read😂

[@PinkyMinii]

I live for your videos and I’m in a slump rn and this is so motivating, so thank you 🎉

[@gracepower180]

Ugh I’ve been feeling like this for about a week now! I want to read and I enjoy it when I do it, but I’ve been ‘avoiding’ reading and filling my time with other things. It’s so frustrating! I don’t know what’s happening 😂

[@norah3563]

i really needed this thanks so much for posting!

[@Itsjennycamacho]

Love this! I felt the same way and I reread (listened) to crescent city because I know I love those books so much and it help me so so much also!

[@rivera17alissa]

Ugghh I’ve been in a book slump too! Nothing is interesting to me and I feel like I’m over romance. I want something deeper and more interesting! I need to broaden my genres. It took me forever to read love redesigned too don’t worry lol!

[@prajjwalika]

Rachel trying to stand against our little cutieee breaching her boundaries: DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN Proceeds to say: PLEASE 🥺 (Gurllll)

[@LibrariesandLattes]

I was the opposite, I felt like I was getting into an audiobook slump! I started like 3 audiobooks and couldn’t stick with any. I started a memoir though (We Were Dreamers by Simu Liu) and it’s doing the trick so far!!

[@corriespapertrail]

Slump cure = the seven skins of Esther Wilding

[@frshdumbledore2825]

Perfect end of my day❤

[@KathyDubs]

I try to go work out right after work so that's off my to-do list and then I have the rest of the night to read and relax, lol.

[@elyseirwin2587]

I’ve been reading “Binding 13” based on your recommendation from a past video. I am loving it so far and haven’t found a book I’ve been this interested in for a while. Thank you for this great suggestion. I absolutely love your videos and get so excited every time you share a new video. In your opinion were all the tommen series books good? And have you read any more books by Chloe Walsh

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Great video Rachel!😸

[@natasha.b14]

Please show us more of the reading journal 😍

[@Taumaline]

Where did you listen to house of sky & breath? The audiobook is not on Spotify. I love watching your reading vlogs amongst your weekly vlogs

[@geenalizzi]

I read the first 2 books and first 2 novellas in the shatter me series in the first 2 weeks of January, and then I’ve attempted a few times to get into As Good as Dead -holly jackson, and I just don’t have that “I want to read this” feeling with it, trying to figure out what to do now 🙈

[@lydiaadams8474]

All of your outfits are adorable but where is the coral dress from? I love it! 😍

[@rebeccalindeberg6801]

I was recently in a slump too, i picked up Heart bones (Colleen Hoover) and Loved it !!!

[@alexandraroussin5070]

I’m slumping too girl :/ since I finished OUABH I’ve been in a bad slump

[@caitlingrace08]

As soon as I saw this, I clicked on it so quick. ❤❤

[@kattyrein9900]

Yeah, January was definitely slumpy for me and I hate it

[@kansxlibrary]

Do you need to read the original series before reading the fragile threads of power? I don't want to read the other books but I own this book!!

[@marie-claireee]

I looove small town romance, did u prefer calamity Montana or the Eden’s?

[@JustmissC24]

Literally me rn,I have been reading this one book for like more than a month,and I just want to finish the book 📖

[@Chelseamayxxx]

I so needed this video as I have been in a reading slump with physical books 📚 since Decembers. I 1:36 am reading audio books but not as much as normal. Thank you for sharing this video with your viewers we appreciate your hard work ❤xx

[@mkpl709]

LOVE Winston co-star

[@nataliazielinski8491]

When I originally heard about Betting on You, I thought it was an adult romance. I agree that it felt a little weird reading it.

[@bliss7166]

Where are your cute bookmarks from!?

[@Sof_rha]

I’m in a reading slump rn:( hope you get out of yours❤

[@evaantoniia]

I am somehow struggling through CC2 right now... I don't know what it is with this series for me but somehow it isn't catching me like ACOTAR or TOG

[@ashleyquimby-simoni1142]

Not my American, mom of a toddler self seeing your dog and immediately thinking “SNICKERS!” 😂

[@kinleygirlll]

thank you so much for all you do for us rachel i love you so much

[@pharmasix22]

I’m very much in a reading slump. I only read 2 books in January

[@oukhtysasaaa]

Do you read a lot slower too ?

[@pharmasix22]

I can finish a book in 3 days 😂. Maybe i’m slower reader but my life is busy too. But now i’m at a slump again

[@oukhtysasaaa]

@@pharmasix22 I Hope your slump end fast! And I was asking bc before my slump I could read really fast, but now I’m really slow like idk how is possible

[@M-lu3bi]
