You’re fine, she looks like she faked reading the books anyway. Slaughterhouse 5 is not at all about aliens lmao. The alien abduction is just a set up so that the real topic of the horrors of war in a kind of absurd way can be expanded upon. The way she reviewed it sounds like someone who just read the first 3 chapters.

I'm reading the hunger games for my thesis and I'm so slow due to making annotations, totally understand how it frustrates you.
I don't think I've ever read (and finished) more than one book in a day before! A readathon does look pretty wild. I've tended to sit and think about the books I've finished for a while after reading them - but it's probably redundant given that the value I gain from the book is often whilst I read it, either for an escape or for entertainment, and when I am looking back on my notes and highlights much much later. So as long as I make sure I actively make notes on books I like, then it's probably worth getting through more of them if I can. Really awesome video Ruby. I loved the blue hour and candlelight in the evening 💫
I love how Ruby is enjoying herself and her books' company.
I love the clip of you and your mom reading together!! So adorable🥺
the most amount of books ive read in 2 days was 5, but this is a new level... a reasonably sized book takes me like 3 hours if its longer anywhere from 4-6 hours
this inspired me to read more books!
Omg I was having a reader's block for so long and this video couldn't have come at a better time! Thank You so much Ruby ❤️❤️

it's great to see your family reading along with you. My parents never read a book. They are too busy living their life and they only finished associate's degree. not a good school, either. They never showed me what a great "model" is as a young child. My dad just punished me physically (got bruises) if I didn't get good grades. I actually started doing more when they lost interest in my grades and progress. I think that's what a true parenting is. Believing your child and showing a good model of reading/studying in front of them.
I'm still on Little Fires Everywhere, just about to finish. I'm so in awe at the character development!

Next, I read nearly half of a series, but it turned out to be cliche and depressing, so I stopped after five books in that series. Then, I read two books from my childhood that I adored.

Writing about the books you have read is a bit of a tiring job but it really makes life easier. Even more if you don't have anyone you can discuss the book with. I have a lot of friends who read but they either read classics or romance while I focus on YA so we are all at a loss when it comes to discussing books. In that kind of situation, writing helps a lot.
I love your readathon vlogs!
