I definitely want to work on a consistent vlog schedule! They're some of my favorite to film. Yayy, I will be looking into reading sprints 🥰 thanks for your support 🫶
Love all your videos. I love the TBR’s, end of month wrap up, etc. I would love to see more reading vlogs especially if it’s book clubs or read-a-thons. Maybe monthly check ins on how you’re doing with goals, etc. Vlogs about trips to the library or how you make time for reading. For ne working full time plus a part time to cund my book buying hobby, I like to watch videos on how other people make self care or hobby time. 💕love your chnnael and so happy i found it!

Thank you so much, that means so much to me! 🫶 I was thinking doing more weekly vlogs, but then I may end the video with an unfinished book. Does it bother you if reading vlogs include not fully read books? Monthly check ins is a great idea! Maybe I can integrate that with my monthly journal set ups or give monthly tbrs a try. Thank you for all the suggestions!! 🖤 I can't wait to try some new stuff. So happy to have you as part of my channel and community ✨️
One of my goals is to read more from my physical shelves and visit my library more too. I am SO interested in reading sprints. Vlogs and bookmark crafts sounds fun too. More day in the life stuff, bookshelf tour, favorite books of all time. Love that stuff. Can't wait for the 4k Q&A ✏

I think that will end up being an every year goal for me 😂 I will definitely look into reading sprints!! It's something I really want to do so I am so happy there's interest in it 🖤 I may try weekly vlogs so it'll integrate more day in the life and I have a more set schedule for filming vlogs specifically. If I go into a vlog just winging it I tend to drag it out for a couple weeks and completely forget what footage I took until I go to edit 🫠 but if I did weekly ones I would likely end up not finishing every book featured in it. Does it bother you when reading vlogs end with an unfinished book? And I for sure want to do a bookshelf tour once I actually have nicer book shelves lol. I have like 4 random separate ones all around my house and then multiple piles on the floor 😅😅 Thank you so much for your support, vita!!! 🫶✨️

@@WickedScorpio This all sounds fantastic. No need to overload or stress yourself out about the vlogs. Just whatever works best for you. I don't mind when books aren't finished - just leaves we wanting more and knowing what reviews are to come! 💖
Omg i seriously am such a library fan and that is such a great goal!!! Stat videos are some of my favorites and just motivate me so much!!! ✏️❤🎉

I am obsessed with all your plants🌿 I love seeing everyone’s stats and goals because they’re so individual to each person! 103 books is so impressive and I love storygraph so much for all of their stats categories

Yesss stats are so interesting to me. Storygraph is so great, and so much more aestheticly pleasing than goodreads 😂
yay I love stats videos!! so glad you did one. I'm the same with having a physical tbr. I never want to not have books on my shelves that I havent read. I also am trying to be more active on bookstagram, it feels so overwhelming sometimes, but I love the feeling of connection. YESSS monthly wrapups are so tough to film!!! I've also been trying to get creative with how to do them I would love if you did reading sprints! would absolutely be there. so excited for all your channel goals 🥰

I never used to like stat vids but now im obsessed lol. IG definitely feels overwhelming sometimes. There's just so much to look at 😂 I also thought about filming the first half, halfway into the month, then the last half at the end. Still in one video but splitting it into two filming sessions may help. Idk 😅. Yay I'm definitely going to look into sprints.
I did a similar wrap up, because I also love looking at the stats, it's fun and helps to make the goals for 2024! Some of my 2024 reading goals were to annotate and track more of my reading, along with branching out with some of my reading picks.

Yesss year wrap ups are so fun!! Annotating more is a great goal. I always feel like I'm connecting more to the books that i annotate. Trying new genres is always a good one too. I definitely want to find a good balance of that
Yes to borrowing from the library! It has saved me money on not purchasing a book that I ended up not loving 😅 Would love to see reading sprints ✏️💗

I fall victim to a good cover way too often 😅 not this year! Especially with new releases coming out only as hardcovers at first. No thank you, my ass is going to the library now.
💚🖤✏️Reading vlogs are my favorite.

I find vlogs to be so fun and relaxing! They are less "formal" feeling. I definitely want to try more weekly vlogs in addition to themed ones. The only thing with a weekly vlog is that I may end the video with an unfinished book, and I'm not sure if that is a huge pet peeve people may have.

@WickedScorpio Some of the KZreaders I watch don't finish a book sometimes. Sometimes, they finish it in the next vlog they do. I don't mind, but if you'd like to know just do a pole that way you know to read a short or long book in your vlogs.

I did the same thing in Goodreads where I wasn't picking the right edition and had to go back and fix it 🤦♀ My main goal this year is to ACTUALLY participate in the booktube community! Lol I need to just get over my feeling of talking to the void and film because I enjoy it. I would love to see your recommendation for book clubs! And would def participate in reading sprints

I am literally only ever logged into my bookstagram now, my personal might as well get deleted 😂😂 making a reel is something I want to figure out how to do too lol. Yay I'm so glad there's interest in sprints! I can be so technologically challenged, so I really appreciate that! 🥹🫶
I hope you get some great reads this year. Pie charts have more calories than bar charts by the way!
