Immediately going to the comments to see everyone else freaking out about your bangs 💇‍♀️

WE LOVE THE BANGS

me: *has read 33 books so far this year* also me: *will watch this video with undivided attention anyways because anything Regan posts is amazing*

If you get overwhelmed by size of books when you're starting out, temporarily switch to ebooks. Seeing a % of progress is less overwhelming to me than not being able to physically see tons of progress in a physical book.

I am afraid that if I start reading in the subway, I'll get so absorbed that I'll miss my stop 😂

I’m actually listening to an audiobook of A Torch Against the Night while I knit a blanket for one of my friends ❤️

I read significantly more when I’m reading more than one book at a time. It also makes it easier to put down a book I’m not enjoying when I have another option I know I’m liking.

I listen to audiobooks while driving and cooking dinner. It helps a lot and I often don’t want to get out of the car because I don’t want to stop the book

The BANGS!!!! They look so good on you Regan!!!!

It's so true about DNFing! I wish I would've learned to DNF books I just didn't enjoy sooner. The last time I read a book I wasn't enjoying, it put me in the longest reading slump 😣 Also, love the new bangs!

Scheduling the time to read and audiobooks changed the game for me. I literally doubled my monthly number of read books, which is good not for the number but because now I have access to more stories I would never have the time to get to before! Doing dishes were so boring but now I’m actually looking forward to that moment just because I’ll encounter some of the characters I’m reading about. And for that I’m thankful

Audiobooks have been the number 1 way I have been able to read so much more recently. I used to be able to read about 1-2 books a month when sitting down and reading, but with audiobooks so far this year I’ve already read 12 books (in 2 months!!!!) 😱 I’m absolutely amazed. I listen to them while cooking, cleaning, driving, getting ready for the day, brushing my teeth, after I get out the shower 🤣 literally any mindless task and there are so many once you look for them!! Totally recommend audible to anyone wanting audiobooks at really affordable prices!!

I've got a better tip: Don't be bothered by how much you read. I've long thought, since I love reading books, that the more I would read, the happier I would be. It turned out I was wrong. Life is not a race, y'all. Just take a deep breath and enjoy the blue sky once in a while, you know?

My tip: set a daily goal! It can be 10 pages or 100 pages, put keep reading constantly.

I have found that mixing up my genres has helped me a lot.

I love these tips!! I just got back into reading. As a child I was a huge bookworm. I have read maybe six books so far this year and it’s become a part of my day. Whether I read fifteen minutes or an hour I have made it part of my day.

Additional tips: keep books in the bathroom! I will often start books that intimidate me there. A few pages at a time seems doable until I become invested. Novellas and comics can also be a great way to get in some quick reads that can pack a punch. Thanks for the video. ~

My biggest reading tip is probably to figure out what genre/type of book gets you out of a reading slump. For me, though I usually read fantasy, it’s a quick, fluffy romance. Whenever you’re feeling slumpy, pick up that genre and it helps prime the pump, if you will

All good points! It’s hard for me to dnf a book I’m not enjoying, but I’m working on learning to accept it & move on. One hint I like to do to help me read more is reading sprints!! Every time someone I’m subscribed to posts one, I add it to a playlist to read along with when I have time to read. 🤗

Audiobooks are such a great way to read more ! As you said, you can read easily while cooking, doing your chores or even when playing games (I love to listen to an audiobook while playing animal crossing). It's also such a great experience, if you haven't tried audiobooks yet : just go for it !!

oh man! you look like a protagonist from a 90s tv show!

I love buddy reading! A friend and I got through one book by just trashing it. It made it fun and we didn't have to DNF it. Making a cozy spot that you want to enjoy with a book also helps. Pre covid I went to coffee shops to read while drinking a coffee. This can be recreated at home with a little creativity

Read during mindless tasks: I excel at that one. It's been a long time since I had breakfast without reading at the same time. It's actually really nice, it makes you eat more slowly and that' great. Commute to college was filled with reading too and my tbr thanks me for that 😉

make read books part of your routine, like a habit is so good, cause everyday you want to read and when you don't read you miss it, a thing that help a lot to read more is read 2 or more books at the same time

These are such great tips!! I love giving out reading advice on Booktube, I think it's so important to help people learn how to get into reading!!! That's basically why I started my channel.

A habit that helps me read more books is to have different boks for different hours during the day. For example, when I wake up during my breakfast I pick a book about self help or fairytales- something that motivates me and brings me posititity. On my way to work ect I have a fiction book (and I always have a book with me wherever I go). Oh, and when I want to finish a book until a spesific day, I count the unread pages of the book, and with a calculator I find how many pages I must read per day, so I can reach the goal (a reading tracker on my bullet journal helps me with this).

I love audiobooks for non-fiction and I use them while doing house tasks or getting ready for work. I can't go to sleep before I read at least a chapter (it's always more). I've been doing it since I was 14. I truly believe in scheduling some readings, although I don't really need it because I read everywhere: commute, task, always have my e-reader in my bag, and sometimes physical books. Great tips. I still have a problem with DNFing I finishing a book even if it's just to rant about it. Hahaha. Loved the bangs!

these are such great tips! it’s nice to be reminded of the easy, kind of obvious tips to read more because it’s easy to let life get in the way and cause you to forget them! also i LOVE your bangs!!

I have been in such a reading slump this year! Thank you for making this video! Love your videos like always Regan!!

Oooh the bangs are so nice! also thank you so much for the video, so helpful!

Listening to your audiobooks during your commute is easier said than done. Driving saps up all of my focus. I sometimes listen when I'm doing chores.

I may have to rewatch this video because I couldn't get over how cute your bangs are! Makes me want to get some bangs even more now! Thank you for this video and all of your videos. They are definitely my go to when I am in a reading slump to cure that.

Love the bangs, really suits you 😍 Great video as always 💙

Also your haircut and the bangs look super cute! My bangs are getting long but I don’t know how I want my hair styled yet. I kind of want to try the short length like yours again.

Watching Regan’s videos & her reading vlogs ALWAYS ALWAYS puts me in the best reading mood 😍🥰📖📚💗💗

This is so helpful, thank you! Loving the bangs!💛

I really like the goals tip, and the buddy reading tip. They were two of my suggestions in my tips for getting out of a reading slump video last week.

Personally, my main tip is always to just make reading a priority! If you want to read more, make it a priority over just mindlessly scrolling through social media, or maybe don't start a new tv show right now, choose maybe a book series and after that you can start a new show - alternate! It's entertainment either way! The DNF tip is SO true! Also when reading a series don't be pressured to read it all in one go, you can take a breather in-between installments!

YOUR HAIR!! YOU'RE GLOWING ✨✨

First things first, love the bangs! ❤

I was just thinking about reading more. I feel like my prayers have been heard lool. Thank you for this video Reagan. ❤️ And you look beautiful as always, but the bangs 💯💯👌

Oooo I personally love sitting down and reading, but not when my body is restless or when I’ve been stationed at my desk for a whole day. So I take walks, and the length of the walk is often decided by how good the book is. I can walk for miles, and it is soooo refreshing for both mind and body! 🥰

The bangs make you look so angelic. I love it!

The bangs!! I can’t!! They look so good!!

Audiobooks have been my saviour

Loved the video (and the bangs)! 💜

the bangs suit you so much !!!! you look amazing 💗💘

Omg the bangs i’m obcessed!!!!! YOU LOOK GORGEOUS!!!!!! (Also amazing video you never disappoint Regan!)

Thank you for those tips/your vid!

Couldn’t wait till the end to comment.. The bangs are ADORABLE

You know what keeps me from reading? Your vlogs, cause they are so darn addictive I can watch ten in a row haha.

Omg this is really helpful 📝 tips I've been wanting to read more thanks a lot 📚

Love the new bangs!!

You did it!! The bangs are SUPER CUTE!!🥰🥰🥰

this video is exactly what i needed! Thank you! ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE BANGS! STUNNING!

Your hair! It's so cute and very flattering! Love your shirt also!

The hair! THE HAIR! I love it. You look stunning

I recently made a similar video and we have a lot of the same advice! Audiobooks doubled my reading and made me go from 0 nonfiction books to like 12 a year! Also, love the bangs!!

OMG I LOVE THE BANGS

This is very helpful thanks! 😀

Enjoy the video. Love your bangs too

Love this video! Can we expect you to do a review of A Court of Silver Flames?

Took me way too long to figure out why you looked different aka bangs lol!!! Dye job too with darker highlights! Love it....so much colour in your face and that shirt colour goes well with your skin tone! Totally killin’ it! Had to watch the video a second time cuz was distracted the first time! LOL

the bangs!!!!! so pretty 💜💅

ive been in a reading slump for multiple years, and im trying ot get out of it, so i will try your tips

You look beautiful with bangs!! My audiobook sweet spot is contemporary 🥰

LOVE THE HAIR!!! P.S. love the time stamps!

Those are such great tips. It took me a long time to realize it is ok to DNF. A tip I have is to always carry a book with you. You never know when you will be waiting in a line or at the doctor's office. I use those times to read.

I didn’t recognize you at first from the thumbnail. Love the bangs! 😍

bang bang into the room, you know you stan it ♪

Thank you for the tips

BANGS QUEEN!!!!

Schedule 20 minutes reading at least 3 times a week after coming back home after work and giving me an amont of books to read in a year helped me so much to increase my reading. Now I read almost every day for more than 30 minutes. It's not a lot for some people but I'm pleased with mt progress.

This hair is EVERYTHING!!!!

It was really inspiring with a lot of good tips 👌

Please do a video on audiobook recommendations!

I can honestly say last year was a turning point for me when it comes to reading. I used to feel pressured to read books because they were so highly recommended by people on book tube and bookstagram...once I accepted that I am a lover of romance and middle grade, I ended up reading WAY more last year.

Not me with 50 books read already this year still watching a video on how to read more 😅 bangs looking good girl 😍

I love audiobooks! Already read 21 books since January 1st and only 6 of them are ebook/paperback, the rest is audio or a combination of audio with ebook or paperback, if I have a physical or ebook I sometimes like to listen and read along. But audio is my main love these days. If I have only the paperback or ebook, I will see if I can find the book in audio to listen to it. It’s just that I have a very short attention span with physical or ebook reading, 10 minutes and I have to put it down. With audio I can listen longer and also while doing something else. Plus I just find that an audiobook read by a great narrator only gets better. A great narrator adds to a book.

My tip is to put post its throughout the book to mark out different sections! It gives u a smaller goal to try to achieve

I'm just here for the bangs 😍

I have always been so bad at DNFing books... thanks for the pep talk!!

Yes, you look beautiful with the bangs!

Awesome video!

When reading books I'm loving, I set myself small goals like reading 100 pages of that book in 7 days and it works. Also reading more than one book can help as well but sometimes I tend to prioritise one book over the others xD.

Your hair looks great like this!

Oh my goodness I got her so early lol. Love love your videos.

My Tip: Don't read the books you think you should read Don't just a read a book because everyone else has read it, or because someone recommended it, or it's really popular, or it feels like "required reading" Those are okay reasons to read a book, but I think rarely can they be the sole reason ESPECIALLY if you're in a reading slump or trying to get back into to reading after a long time. INSTEAD: read the book that sounds fun to you! re-read your favourites, read something short and fun, read a book that really interests you, read a book from an author you know you like! Reading isn't enjoyable if you turn it into a chore of "oh have to read this book because of external reasons", instead I think it should be a book that you have the internal motivation to read

I decided this year my New Years main goal would be to read more but not a set number of books as that scares me. But I love reading but never have read as much as I have recently. I’m in love with Jane Austen fan fiction so have read many of those but also mixing in other authors like Agatha Christie, starting the bridgerton series of books and actually reading the Jane Austen books I have read. I flip between paperback books and kindle and find I reader my kindle a lot faster but then I can often run out of battery so I’m glad I have physical books to read but I need different glasses and often hurts my eyes reading for too long so I change between the too. I also love reading and collecting Barbara erskine books my faves being house of echoes and whispers in the sand. I use you tube for audio books and have found some of my favourite teen point horror books on there to listen to which are acted out x

I suggest setting daily page count goals for every book you read. For me, I find reading 100 pages a day before going on about my day helps me make sure I read everyday and still have time to fit gaming in.

LOVE THE BANGS!!! What style of bangs would you call those/like what did you ask you hair stylist for? I'm considering bangs again

LOOOOOOve your new hair Regan!

I’m really struggling to read, I got to school and come back home and try to finish my work ASAP so that I can read, but by the time I finish, it’s past midnight. Maybe I shouldn’t have picked such hard subjects at school

I really like zooming or FaceTiming with a friend to read together! Even if we aren’t reading the same book, it’s easier to carve out that time when you make it something to look forward to with someone else :)

Your new hair is SO CUTE

You look so cute - those bangs and that shirt are the perfect combination!

Wow, the bangs look so good for your face shape \o/

Reading in the bath with no distractions is the BEST reading time

I am a big fan ❤️

What works for me best is to only buy books that truly intrigue me, plot-wise, depending on my current tastes and mood. I don’t go out of my comfort zone most of the time. That way I read much more books and spend time meaningfully instead of dreading over books I will never end up liking. As a kid and a teenager I pretty much read everything (in English- I can’t even consider it my second language since I devoured hundreds of books in English instead of my native tongue), but as an adult with responsibilities I cannot afford to waste money and time.
