hi friends! today, we have a 24 hour readathon vlog (aka how much i can realistically read in 24 hours) 🏋🏻✨ featuring a man and his cat, emily wilde's encyclopedia of faeries, and bride by ali hazelwood, plus all the cozy vibes! to push through my TBR, i decided that reading for 24 hours straight would do the trick. i truly just wanted to see how many books i could read in a 24 hour period and here's the result... we have some fantasy, paranormal romance, literary fiction, and manga in this video. enjoy friends!

when browsing for books to read, i always look for book reviews. reading vlogs have become some of my absolute favorite videos to film so i had to try out reading for 24 hours... (spoiler alert: i read 3 books in 24 hours). the concept is simple: you set a TBR and try to read as much as you can in 24 hours! booktube and tiktok have buzzed about these books… let’s see if i’ll enjoy them. the video has a book talk / book review portion as i read the books that is completely spoiler free, as well as live reactions. i hope you guys enjoy this one and come out with one more book to add to your TBR and some good book recommendations for 2024!

    Usually, realistically speaking I read anywhere from 10-100 pages in a regular day with everything else going on in my life, and adult responsibilities, so honestly I'm really impressed! I also loved Bride (though nope to the third act break up, the rest of the book was peak paranormal romance.) 🌕

    If you've not read it before, another awesome cat book is "She and Her Cat" by 'Makoto Shinkai' and 'Naruki Nagakawa'! It's a collection of interlinking short stories about cats and their little lives with their owners, but it's sort of in the view point of the cats, and their views on their owners. It's also translated, so that's really cool, too!

    🌙 I haven't read any of the books that you read in this video, but they all sound like I'd enjoy them. I'm currently reading Addicted to You by Krista & Becca Ritchie. At most I can probably read 200 pages in 24 hours like just a regular day where I'm busy or have to work unless it's like a graphic novel, then I can definitely read more

    🌕 I loved bride too!! I loved that misery wasn't instantly thirsting over a guy that she barely knew and who represented the execution of her people (even if she felt out of place with vampires). I eat up books with fast burn, but this one felt refreshing in the sense of portraying how a relationship doesn't have to be instant "I want to get into bed with him" to still be passionate and sometimes sexy I also loved the side plot, the side characters and the fact that the world building wasn't overly complex. I love when there's a big explanation to everything, but I feel like in this book it would feel out of place

    @MelReads

    3 ай бұрын

    omg yes!!! miss hazelwood executed the slow burn perfectly🧎🏻‍♀️ paranormal romances tend to be so quick with the "you're my mate, i love you, let's go at it," so it was definitely a breath of fresh air to see the characters be doubtful of each other, getting to know who they were outside of their respective species, and to see the bond form over time!

  • @juliacintrae

    @juliacintrae

    3 ай бұрын

    @@MelReads exactly! paranormal romances often forget that relationships between people with different species would not move as fast as an interspecies one. a vampire with another vampire? makes sense. they know each other's culture, they know things that only vampires would know and they understand what it's like to be one. vampire and werewolves are so outside of each other's culture and with, normally, such a harmful history between their species that there's taboos and stereotypes that would make the relationship develop in a difficult way

    I recently finished Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries and didn't end up loving the book as I expected to. I mean I loved the whimsy and the premise, but felt like there was no emotional impact or connection with the characters that would have made me care about their adventures or their relationships. When it came to the declaration of love, Wendell's proposal flew over my head because to me they simply were academic rivals and nothing more. Went straight to the second book though because even if I had issues with the first book I'm curious enough to know what happens next to the MCs. 🌑
