Love the idea for this video!

The Light between Oceans has been on my TBR for a while. Your thoughts are making me want to pick it up right now!

I really did enjoy it even if it broke my heart!

Loved your thoughts on c.s.lewis's book until we have faces. I was feeling very lost when I was reading it so I quit. Watched a KZread review about the hidden meanings which was helpful. Might have another go at it.

I love that you did this. I'm taking a break from IG and have been off of Facebook for a long time now. I hate feeling like i "need" to post on IG. Im also out of the loop on book happenings tho (the instant ones) but I've got KZread. Lol. It's helped for sure to cut back

Fun video! The light between oceans wrecked me!

me too!!!! it was a wedding gift and it's probably my most used gift! 😆

I read Sarah Dessen back in high school and I liked her books. I have no idea if I'd like them now, barely remember anything about them.

Ooo Ann H Gabhart I want to read her

I really enjoyed this! It inspired me to do the same. I just checked my daily screen times for last week and wrote them in my reading journal. I'm curious to see how I fare at weeks end!

Love that you have done a timer each day 🎉

RIGHT GIRL THE HABIT WITHOUT THINKING ON THE APPS🤣💀 meeeee

❤ great idea! I started monitoring my screen time during Lent and for the most part keep it under 2 hrs a day. I think I may try this for a week and delete Instagram during that time.

@@carmenjanae most definitely! I have also started turning my phone off on the weekends if my son isn't at work (he is an EMT and I worry) Yesterday I did less than an hour and 30 minutes of that was my bible app. I did a lot of reading yesterday and today.

Yes I also watch it while I do laundry 😆

Let’s go! I’m going to start this while I do my laundry! My average is 5 hours a day too.

The Truth About Forever! ❤ I'm just glad you read it even if it didn't do for you what it does for me, but can't wait to ask you about it this weekend! 😁

Ah I was wondering if you included YT in this or not, I also use it in the background so for me it's hard knowing if it should count as wasted screen time or not lol

I have about an hour each day on Instagram or more 👀 not good phew you’re right I get lost in the reels too much 😂

Hi Carmen! I'm new here (came here from Amanda's channel) :) I've been wanting to take a social media break for a while now, and I feel like this video is just another nudge in that direction. I haven't watched the full video yet, but curious if you've noticed the sm break made you less influenced to read certain books and to pick up more books you actually want to read?

Hi! Welcome ☺️🫶🏼 I would say that yes, in a way it did. But I’ve also never been a “trend reader”. 😂 I’m always reading books long after everyone else has read them and most of the books in this video have just been on my shelf for a long time and I’m trying to tackle my physical TBR. But yes, I guess KZread would be the biggest medium that influences what I read, but I didn’t cut that out this past week. I did however still choose books that I’ve been wanting to read myself that I never heard anyone talk about … if that makes sense. :)

My phone time average is HORRIBLE. I've got to do better!
