My goal was to read 5 books this year. I was in a reading slump of 5+ years, I used to read at least 100 books a year and with my ADHD getting worse over time I stopped reading. 🙈 So far I've hit 5 books! I'm so proud of myself and can't wait to keep reading more 😄

Hi Ali! I wanted to give some book recs so... here they are 1. The serpent and dove series is one of my faves. It's set in France when the church was the government and people believed in witches, except the witches were actually real and there are chasseurs (witch hunters). You follow the story of Louise Le Blanc and Ried Diggory. They are forced to marry and so on, and THE PLOT IS CRAZY!!! You do need to keep in mind that all three books are basically consecutive, so where the first book ends, the second book starts right away. Due to this, there are SO MANY cliffhangers. 5-star series for me!!! Also, the books are like 550 pages each so.... good luck!!! 2. The Plated Prisoner series by Raven Kennedy is a 6-star series for me!!! It follows Auren who is called 'the king's gold favoured'... like she is LITERALLY GOLD! The books are so crazy and there is a kind of love triangle... it's hard to explain, so it would make me so happy if u read it!!! 3. Twilight. It's self-explanatory. Maybe you could do a Twilight reading vlog to see your thoughts!!! 4. On the edge by Joanna Mazurkiewicz is a romance between a rich, Scottish man named Dexter and a nurse who is a pole dancer in her free time named Sasha. This book is SPICY, like spicy from the first sentence. If you are in the mood for a really spicy romance... this is it. 5. I just saw My Fault by Mercedes Ron on your cart and I would just like to say I LOVED this book! It is definitely and bad boy-good girl romance an if basically finished in 1 sitting. I hope you enjoy it! Anyway, those are my book recs! I hope you take them into consideration for some of your next reads! I love your book videos, they are such chill vibes and always get me in the mood to read!

I’ve read the Everyday novel version, and thought it was a really unique premise. The graphic novel sounds really intriguing I’ll have to find myself a copy of the graphic novel soon. On another reading note, if you love ebooks, Immersive Translate should be right up your alley. You can use it to translate the ebooks waiting in your TBR list that’s written in another language. Are you a manga fan? There’s also a cool feature, where you can get accurate translations to the manga you’re currently reading, which is a total plus.

When I’m behind or getting behind, I always read poetry books, novellas, or graphic novels/comics. I know some people would kind of consider that to be like cheating, but honestly it helps so much. Often times I can read multiple graphic novels/comics in a day, a novella takes like 2 days, and poetry books could be anywhere from an hour or a few hours depending how long the poems are.
