Tip: for books like babel, either with many pages or complex, I recommend reading while listening to the audiobook. Makes getting thru it while understanding it that much easier

I really love how slow Babel is. It’s slow but never boring because you’re learning so much about language. I think we just live in a world where people need quick and exciting and that’s not necessarily a good thing all the time in books.

If you’re looking for more general fiction, you should read Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. It’s a bit confusing for the first bit but the end is soo good

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is the book I’m currently reading and I already love it so so much. I love that you pushed through the beginning and ended up enjoying it

That passage that you highlighted from Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow questioning "Why was it acceptable for apparently well-meaning people to see the world in such a general way?" really stood out to me as well. It was definitely a meaningful scene, although I don't know that it contributed much to the overall narrative.

I’d love for you to know I’ve read two books so far this year, which is equal to the number of books I read last year (both last year I had read before though) and YOU GET 100% of the credit for that. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for giving me the encouragement to read books that don’t necessarily have a “point” and as you said “exercise that muscle”. I have really been enjoying reading your recommendations and can’t wait to make my own choices too. I literally put a bunch of titles in a wheel online and when I finish I spin the wheel for my next one.

That is so exciting! You’re on a roll this year.

this video was so well made !! it was so helpful to hear your thoughts on each book especially since you weren’t vague about what you liked and what the books were about. it didn’t feel like any of the scenes you mentioned were “spoilers” and it definitely made me curious to read them myself !!

You should read the Chronicles of Narnia next! They’re easy read, fast paced (since each book is around 100 pages), and I love them💕💗

I've been looking forward to watching this all day. Such a great moment finishing work, grabbing a snack, hooking my laptop up to the tv and finally getting to hit play. Love this video Haley. Started to feel tempted to read tomorrow, tomorrow etc. Also loving hearing about how much you like/don't like books from different genres :) Thank you for another fantastic video!

Honestly Haley is my go to booktuber, since we have similar tastes I always get book recs from her and not one has disappointed me ❤❤❤

Ok. I just have to say: I love reading, but I also love watching KZread. When I found your channel, I fell in love with it. Whenever I watch your reading videos, I rekindle my love for reading! The way that you talk about reading, and just watching you read in general, gives me so much motivation to read! Love you, and thanks so much!!

Hailey literally motivates me to read books! Thanks to her I've literally become a bookworm! ✨ Definitely my go to booktuber!!! ILYSM Haley!! 💕💕

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is the book I’m currently reading and I already love it so so much. I love that you pushed through the beginning and ended up enjoying it ❤

I have recently been in a reading slump, but seeing your videos gives me so much motivation to read. ❤ Thank you so much Haley ❤️❤️

I love your book vlogs 🤩 you’re the reason I fell back in love with reading 🤍

I loved the editing style in this video! A lot of mixed media and just the way you shot things. So creative! Love your videos as always and your thoughts on different books! 😊

I love this new format of video you’re doing so much!! It’s so cute and updated while still keeping all the parts I already loved about your videos.

i love your videos because of the spaciousness and serenity of your house! it’s so colourful and aesthetically pleasing, and i like that you change locations a lot 🙌

Haley,I can see Legendborn in the background. You have to read it ASAP, it's amazing

I have been waiting for Haley to update a new video! Thank you so much Haley for updating! Love your vibe and your cute personality!

inspired by your videos I actually started reading books this month and completed 2 books which feels soo refreshing

Haley is my life, I have watched all her videos and check everyday to see if she has uploaded a new video lol. I've been obsessed with reading and books since I found her channel in the summer. She is literally my favourite youtuber of all time.

It's gotten to the point that once Haley announces that a reading vlog video is coming out I am literally counting down the hours 😭 I love them so much

I feel so motivated to read after watching your videos. I love your channel!

Haley, I am SO inspired by you and you make me so motivated to read!! Love you!

Absolutely loved Babel, it was very much a top book for me, love the writing style. You started talking about Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and I checked my library holds to see when it was coming and realized I read it last month and already couldn't remember reading it. I enjoyed it while I was reading it but already could not remember the story so, not quite a 5-star read for me.

Totally my problem. I checked a book out of the library last week and didn't remember I had already read it until I started reading it again.

long slow fantasy books with a big ol’ climax are my favorite type of book. it took me forever to get into them but now when i read anything else i’m like… mmmn does not hit as much! slow buildups inched their way into my heart without me noticing and now it feels like they’re never going to leave

Haley your videos give me so much serotonin! Thank you for making my day, loving your vids ❤

I am so happy you posted! I have been looking out for a new video! Keep doing what your doing! ❤

Thank you for this - I have had Babel on my bedside table for over a month now and it is just so hard to get into!!!!! But I felt like that about The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and that turned out to be one of my all-time-faves so I know I should push through! Going to order a hardcopy of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tommorrow and get the audiobook of Lessons in Chemistry. This video was a match made in booktube heaven for me 💗

I love your book series so much!

Haley, I come back to your channel then and again and each time youre more eloquent!! Love you girlie, keep up the reading and your cute life

you should do a video where you go to local bookstores and ask the employees to show you their favorite book and then read/give us your review of each book!

Can I just say while I’m decently early and here you are an amazing person and you genuinely make my days better. You also give me good books to read ❤

Goodness Haley! You can really influence people, because you really got me into reading!! Your reviews are so interesting, i found so many nice books to read! I was also wondering, which Kindle do you have? love you!!

A book I highly recommend reading is Red Queen if you haven’t read it already! It’s a fantasy book and kinda of love? If you enjoy the first book the second book is kind of slow but you get to meet a lot of new people

So glad I found this video (and your channel!!) I’m also trying to read more genres this year!

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. There are a lot of books out there that most people haven't heard about that should get a lot more exposure. The last one I read was When Dying Is Not a Problem and I really enjoyed it.

ELEPHANT HOOVES! love you haley and can't wait for new book recs this year!!

I've missed reading vlogs!! And I love the new editing 😆

I love how you are supporting Mai your sister 1:56

keep it up girl! youre one of my fav booktubers❤❤

i love your videos sm!! always adding to my endless tbr 😪

It's great to see you "branch out" of your usual preferred genres. It shows that you can always find something new in reading that you didn't think you would like. :)

Oh my gosh I absolutely love these videos! I try to watch them as sooon as I can!!! Loved ❤❤

It’s a great day when Haley posts!! This editing is amazing

Great video! Crazy difference in reviews people have for Babel! Some people absolutely loved every part of it and some people couldn't get through it at all!

Amazing to find this video. I recently bought Tomorrow and Babel and literally just started Babel. So happy to see your reviews of both in one video

I loved the percentage bar editing,so engaging while the video clip is on time lapse.

I absolutely love R.F. Kuang's books, and I'm reading the poppy war rn, and it starts off slow, and there is a lot of battle, and then back to slower but I absolutely love it. and sometimes I just need time to digest what had happened, I love it!

honestly the last half of 2022 i started just reading books that i randomly find at b&n and have found some really nice hidden gems that way! i always love watching your vids tho cuz it does feel nice to read books that a lot of others have read too so i can understand

I just started reading while listening to the audiobook and it has changed my life! I read the Harry Potter series in January and my god it’s changed my life. Love these types of videos because I’m a book nerd now. Babel sounds so intimidating so idk if I’m gonna commit to that but I wanna try the other 2. But I was curious if you have a top 3 book series recommendation?

Haley, I probably wouldn't have picked up Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow if it weren't for you. It was seriously a beautiful novel. Thank you for all you do!

I used to love reading but stopped for a long time because I didn't know what to read. Your videos have inspired me to start reading again and given me so many good suggestions. Thank you!

I know there’s a million comments saying the same thing, but I will always wait until Haley’s and Rachel’s recommendations rather than most others as they have the most similar taste to my own. So Haley if you’re reading this just know millions of others as well as myself value your videos and you sharing your opinions online greatly. Thank you ❤

Not millions. That was a gross exaggeration with disturbing implications actually. Most people make their own decisions about how to read, aside from a small percentage of easily influenced younger readers looking for a role model figure. It’s fine. But it’s not millions and would be swift like in affect in not greater if that were true which means the market would’ve noted it after video releases. And then we’d have to question what happened to free thinking and inclusive reading because there’s not much here for Black and/or queer readers/authors to start

Haley, U JUST MADE MY DAY
