I can’t speak for everyone but just reading the comments I know I speak for many - you don’t owe us anything! It’s super relatable that you have different priorities and go through slumps. Also you could make completely book free content and I’d be so excited to watch it! I have a lot of family in the UK and miss them and England so much, your videos help me feel connected to life in the UK so if you just showed your life minus reading, that would be ok with me! Hang in there and give yourself grace, you’re managing so much! ❤

Hi Jodie!! Hope this helps ~~ sounds awkward but personally I just love seeing you share bits of your daily UK and bookish life. Just the day to day video diary of your life :) nothing crazy or over the top just enjoying your cozy energy and life so please don't feel pressured. This video was really nice to watch.

Could not agree more!

I totally understand the book slump due to attention span! What got me out of the slump honestly was deleting TikTok and not using instagram reels. After a couple days and sitting through a movie or two with no distractions I was able to sit and enjoy what I was reading without feeling bored or overhyped ❤❤

There’s definitely not enough time in the day/week! Please remember that you have a full time job & sometimes it can’t be expected of you to be posting content. I’ll always come back to your videos because I really love watching them & I completely get how hard it is to balance work and YT💗

I find your videos so cathartic so don't worry about the chaos! Reading Faebound and I'm about 1/4 through and really enjoying it. Loving the combination of Fae and Elves though these aren't very nice elves imo!

you vlog was so calming loved it!! im new to booktube !! so this was such a vibe

Don’t worry too much about it Jodie, getting used to a routine after a job change can be tough! Definitely give yourself grace for it 🖤 Looking forward to the Flame and Shadow vlog! I loved reading CC over Christmas 😊

Honestly Jodie, any content from you is amazing. I know how you feel about the big reading slump! I'm currently reading The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin and I'm loving it, it's got me out of my reading slump after having a massive book hangover from Silver Flames! Looking forward to your House of Flame and Shadow vlog!❤️

Girlie! I am in a slump, too. I have been able to kind of combat the slump by reading Mangas. I don't know if that would help you. I know there are some cute fantasy type genre ones. I just found myself really struggling to keep my attention when I open up chapter books. Especially the long ones. Which I adore fantasy... but this slump has been defeating me. Then, I decided maybe a Manga will help me feel connected to reading still, but not bogged down so much by the attention keeping that chapter books require. I think rotating Mangas [or Manga style reads] in my tbr is going to have to be a must from now on. ❤😅 I hope you're having a wonderful day. PS I loved the clips of your book by the waves. I love reading in nature, near nature....immersed in nature. It helps center myself and just calm the chaos in my busy mind.

The cup of tea as you are are talking is giving me anxiety. It keeps almost spilling. lol

I find it so annoying that books are released in hardback first here in the UK and then we have to wait for a year for the paperback. My CC1 and 2 are in paperback so I want CC3 in paperback too! I wish we were like Australia where they get the big paperback editions!

I love these longs vlogs/reading vlogs/hauls from you!! Perfect for watching when doing my morning/evening routine. 🫶🏻

I'm trying to get out of a reading slump that I've been in for the majority of January- I tried to read The Night Circus, and I DNF'ed it at 58 pages. I was so disappointed, so hopefully February will be a reasonable reading month ❤❤

Omg yes the end of Empire of Storms is just torment 😭 Love your long vlogs, thank you for creating this, even though its been a struggle, it was a pleasure to watch ❤

Hi! I just wanted to slay that I love your content, even when you're in a slump. Give yourself a break. It seems like you've started some new things and you've got to figure out how to make time for the old and new. Life is like that. It'll come together in the end, right on time.❤
