@@Lavenia12 she doesn’t go into detail bc that’s not the point of the video. it’s a challenge, not a spoiler filled reading vlog. she probably doesn’t give more than a general explanation bc a lot of people would say she spoiled the books.

[@skyjan163]

@@Lavenia12 well reviews are not explanations of the books themselves, they’re how she felt about the book. and i don’t think the point of wrap ups are to really explain the books either. more like just to show what she read and what she rated it. i think if you want to know more about the book itself, book-specific reading vlogs would go into more detail

[@avy466]

I’m kind of a slow reader, and I constantly see comments on bookstagram about how people are “lying” when they say they read 20-30 books a month and I find that honestly stupid. The amount of books a person is able to read in a day, week, month, or year depends on so many things like their reading speed, their passion for reading, the amount of time they have, the genre of the book they’re reading, the length of the book, whether they have kids or not, whether they’re self employed or not, and so many other factors that go into it. Just because you see a person that says they read a lot, it doesn’t mean that they’re lying. You wouldn’t call someone a liar if they said they watched 4 seasons of a long series in 1-2 days, would you?

[@kyndal5899]

that’s so crazy that people don’t think you’re reading the books, I read pretty fast and can finish a book in 2-3 hours. Literally the other day I read hunting adeline (700+ pages) and finished it in about 4 hours because of how invested I was.

Personally I feel like starting at midnight one night and finishing at midnight the next would be the best way to go about a 24 hour challenge. Like set a alarm to wake up the night you start like at 11:30 then get started reading so your only going through half the night at a time.

[@kiersyndewein1627]

I've Heard is better to start in the morning because if you start at night then you've already been up for 12 plus hours so you'll technically be up for 36 plus hours rather than just 24 hours. So you start in the morning when you wake up and then you go till the morning the next day is 24 hours versus starting at night when you've already gone about your day.

[@Intro_Liz]

[@michellealexandra1480]

Crazy how people think it’s impossible to read that fast. I’m a fast reader myself but that is primarily due to conditioning wherein I’ve conditioned myself to learn how to read faster through my 17 years of consistent reading. Anyone who reads fast can completely understand your reading speed and accept it for what it is. I can’t even listen to audiobooks and read at the same time because even with 2x speed, the narration is too slow for me. I’m sorry it came to a point where you have to justify yourself on your platform doing what you love, but we’re here for you bestie. Thank you for being so consistent and real with us 💕
