hi maya! i also have mix feelings about the The Love Hypothesis. at the time i liked it but then looking back it, some scenarios just felt off. but from what i read online, TLH was supposedly a starwars fanfic which later got turned to a stem romcom novel so that’s probably why it felt very wattpad style 😂

Ive been in a reading slump too because of finals and school projects, but this video just made me motivated lol

Hi Maya, solo leveling is actually a manhwa. Which is basically Korean manga, solo leveling is one of the best manhwas I ever read, and I encourage you to continue reading if you can. (P.S. There is actually an anime in the works for this)

oh my goodness, love the reading vlog. I've been getting back into reading for pleasure as well. love to see you getting out of a reading slump. ❤❤

Oh, The Love Hypothesis is a great book! Adored it mostly. Romance is always good for getting us out of a slump. 😅

Love the chill reading vibes of your new videos !!😎🌊 Would love to recommend the “These violent delights” small series by the TALENTED Chloe Gong, Like a Romeo and Juliet situation with Monster, Gore, gangs, jazz and the most insane enemie to lover trope all set in 1926 shanghai. Literally amazing ❤

Girl I totally agree abt The Love Hypothesis. I would give it a 3/5 as well. It is a simple fun read, which can be nice sometimes, but the characters lacked depth and the conflicts were kinda trivial imo. Personally I think its overhyped, but I think that's because it was an easy ready & it became popular for non-readers. Maybe that's a good thing tho, cuz sometimes books like this are a nice way to get into or back into reading.

I miss reading so much but I haven’t had a book get me hooked in so long

i liked the love hypothesis overall. But my go to recommendation is always The Hating Game. It's my favourite romance of all time.. (if you can get past how often she mentions her height lol)

more reading and day in the life of a writer vlogs!!😍

i'm also in a reading slump right now but i have to say if you enjoyed the darkest minds movie you're definitely gonna love the book. i watched it last year and fell in love with the whole story so i ended up buying the 3 books and now it's one of my favorite series ever

The love hypothesis is what kinda got me into reading for real. (I’m on the Star Wars/adam driver side of the internet so I knew about it dropping while she was working on it) Love her even tho it’s cringe at times lol.

i used to love reading in middle school (esp since it was when all the iconic dystopian books came out) and then I stopped reading on my own. I picked up a book last year and it took me 9 months,,,girl thats a whole pregnancy💀 but now im on my third book of the year wooo!! (its a slow process)

i recently got back into reading and going to the library (along with my best friend) i’m more of the horror young adult or romance. my favorite series so far are the Fear Street Books by R.L Stine. I’ve read three of them so far and just bought two more. They’re all amazing in my opinion. A romance book i finished was A Quiet Kind Of Thunder by Sara Barnard. Which was beautiful as well. I also just got into Darcy Coates books and i own two of them. She is also a horror author.

OUUU UPLOADING ERAA IM HERE FOR IT

hi maya, i honestly feel the same about the reading slump cause bruh I've been in a reading slump for a month now after reading fantasy my whole life so I sort of switched it up to some Nicole Yoon books ( the sun is also a star) , I didn't really like it but it got me up and going plus love the aesthetic btw

i’m here for the reading vlogs because i know i’m going to need more recommendations

Assassin blade is SOOOO GOOD trust the pacing is good and each novella is like a fast story and interesting plot. I loved it more than throne of glass and it helped me understand references that were made in throne of glass

I love your vibe

How did I not find your channel sooner! I love your videos girl! ❤

obsessed with these types of videos of yours! and your hair look so good!

i love ur reading and writing videos!!!❤😊 I am also in a reading slump myself 😅

Maya omg i have to share my goodreads review of the love hypothesis bc this book was a nightmare and i agree with you! (spoilers for anyone else tho) this book was not all it was cracked up to be. From the beginning, i actually thought it was going in a pretty good direction. Adam's jokes about the Title IX made me giggle. In my opinion, for a fake dating trope to work, the stakes need to be MONUMENTAL, especially as grown-ass adults who have no business fake dating anyway lol. Adam's reasoning for the fake dating was to convince the school that he'd stay with them and also get his research funds released. Okay GREAT! Olive's reasoning was to convince her best friend that she was over someone and allow Anh to move on with said someone. Less great, but her desperation to be a good friend lowkey made me care and therefore want the fake dating scheme to work out. So A+ to miss hazelwood for that. It was downhill from there, though. Olive's mindset is one that i strongly dislike in main characters. Or at least how it was presented. Anytime she would deny herself being the main character she would say things like "unbelievable. Impossible. Could never happen to me." i really hate reading things like that. Like we KNOW you're the main character girl just act like it or don't say stuff like that lmao. Also, Olive would sometimes make these little realizations in the book that would later amount to absolutely nothing, like the author just writing things to write things. For example, Adam offered her a protein bar and olive specifically points out the fact that its covered in chocolate. but THEN WHAT? Adam said he didn't like chocolate. so now I'm left to wonder why he has it. did he lie about not liking chocolate or did he bring it just for her?? probably the latter, but why would you leave me wondering? Another example is Olive 'realizing' that Adam was the guy from the bathroom a few years ago. disliked this part because it wasn't triggered by anything (ie, adam repeating something he said that day, etc). THEN, it wasn't even confirmed to her. As readers, we knew from the get-go, but for Olive to say "omg it was him" with nothing to actually back it up was unfulfilling. In the end, I was left more annoyed by Olive's realizations than swooning over them. I DESPISED the spice scene, it felt forced particularly because as Olive and Adam's "relationship" continued, there wasn't enough development for me, no real feelings, therefore the spice felt unearned. even worse were the times Anh basically forced Olive onto Adam, it was too weird!! the spice scene was ridiculously uncomfortable because all throughout it, Olive wasn't even SURE she wanted to be doing it in the first place, so it made me uncomfy the whole time I was reading it. A TikTok user pointed out that Olive might be Demisexual and therefore had issues with the way that Olive's thoughts towards sex were portrayed as "not normal." It was an interesting take that I wanted to note here. other bad things: - adam calling olive a smartass every. two. pages. - undeveloped side characters, Anh and Malcolm were so shallow :( - tom - the readers knowing that the tom altercation was recorded before the characters found out. i wish i could've experienced that discovery with them rather than figuring it out beforehand so easily

I had read the love hypothesis and i agree with everything u said.I was looking for a romance between two grown people and ended up feeling like i was reading a highschool romance.They weren't mature at all in their behavior,expressing their feeling an also the spicy scene(dk felt like an exhibition if u know what i mean,wasn't natural at all)not what i was expecting.

Hi maya as someone who has read 'Lore' and enjoys it, it is a bit of slow at the beginning but once it picks up it will have you hooked.

Oh man I read shatter me 7 years ago from a friends recommendation and it was hard to tell if I liked it or hated it then. But at the time I needed to get past my internalized judgement towards liking “teen girl” things. We just need to enjoy what we enjoy ❤

Maya is one of my favorite KZfaqrs

I love Maya's style! She's how I'm trying to dress

was just thinking abt how i missed ur vids HIIII MAYA 🫶🏾🫶🏾

yesss new aot watcher! you're in for a wild ride

SOLO LEVELING IS SO GOOD

I’ve waited for you boo🥹❤️ If not I didn’t know your house, I would have had brought a basket of cameras for you😂❤️

Congratulations on your new management 🎉❤

“This is gonna be so cute fun and fresh.” 😂🤣

the moment i saw the book i lost my mind i love that so mouch love the plot and everthing about

Girl I haven’t finished this video but same with throne of glass series. Throne of glass. Flew through it. Couldn’t love it more. Fast paced wow wow. Right after? It flatlined for me. But thank you because what you said about world building. I had a 2 YEAR reading graveyard and I didn’t know what was up. But when you said it, I realized I don’t love waiting for the world to build anymore. Must be why contemporary has been what got me out. I can just jump into it. Let’s get to characters doing stuff you know

A nice intro to romance that’s a lil spicy is the kiss quotient!! And the other books in the “series”. They can all stand alone! Also the Chloe brown series by Thalia hibbert. Can also all stand alone :)

"Hi hello how are ya?" My new way to greet❤

I was at Coachella… weekend 2 tho when he brought out zendaya!!!😢…. His show was sooooo amazing… not that familiar with all his music just a few songs and omg he puts on a show!!

I feel the same way about book tubers and how they read a 10 books in 24 hrs but it's fascinating to watch ,I also feel like manga and graphics novels doesn't count either they are just guilty pleasures

I saw shatter me in your book pile. I could only get to the middle of the 3rd book before I dropped it (maybe I’ll go back into it idk)😅. The book is good I’m just not that into dystopian books and prefer watching shows in that genre. I’m also don’t really like the main character(Juliette) but that’s just my opinion. Overall I think you’d definitely enjoy this series based on what I know about your preferences on books😊

Solo levelling is soooo goooddd😩😩😩

Love your reading videos ! Can we get some day in my life vlogs or shopping hauls ?

Happy Friday🎉❤ Btw you should read loveless or radio silence by Alice Osman, they are so good

I haven’t read the love hypothesis but I have read Shatter Me and if you love books where the love interest will destroy the world for his lover, you’re gonna like that. Ik there are a lot of books in the series but my favorite was Destroy Me which Warner’s point of view

Comfort KZfaqr ❤❤❤❤

STOP Solo Leveling is so good! I binged it last summer the story really sucked me in

Hi Maya good morning happy Saturday morning and happy weekend and I hope you having amazing weekend and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

omg!!! I just started the Shatter Me series and its so good already!!!

I read love hypothesis and I loved it, I finished it in 5 days because I was so intrigued by it. I hope u like it too cause I really do. The author also announced she's making a movie based off the book.

I need you as my friend fr

dude i finished the throne of glass serious a few weeks ago and ur gonna absolutely lose your mind when u finish the series!!!

You should make a goodreads!

Attack of Titians & Demon slayer eatssssssss but if you haven’t you should read Verity by Colleen Hoover I’m not done reading it but it’s so good

Hi Maya I love you much and also love how much you have grown as a person... and also I have been watching for years now , and also I'm south African

You’re making me so homesick reading at my favorite park 😢

hi maya, loved this video

I think the reason I’m in a reading slump is because I’ve still yet to find my favorite genre. I’m not really into sci fi/fantasy books like you are and am currently struggling to find a book that really sucks me in. I tried reading song of Achilles but found it really hard/boring to understand about 200 pages in. I am currently reading yolk which is a sort of coming of age book and I like the realness from it 👍👍👍

I love going to that Barnes and noble it’s so clean and new

If you haven't already read Dance of Theives that's fantasy romance with fake dating in it. I really enjoyed it and they were my favourite YA couple I read last year.

all im saying is 'the seven husbands of evelyn hugo' contemporary romance with TWISTS v v different vibe but its w.

i've been in a reading slump since the beginning of the year and it's so frustrating. i would love nothing more than to read all the books on my bookshelves, but i can't find it in me to pick anything up.

A Saturday upload☺️

I read TLH. I agree some of the parts were quite childish and it took me forever to get through them. Chapter 16 did feel a little misplaced and I skipped a bit of it because that's just not how I envisioned them at that point in their relationship. The ending was the part that irritated me the most because the issue really didn't need to be dragged out that much. But I definitely feel like Olives inability to communicate and be honest is her big flaw and the basis of the story.

I tried to read The Love Hypothesis but it wasn’t interesting to me like the other rom coms i’ve read so far. Idk maybe i’ll try to pick up where i left off and continue to read it😭😂

Try “Year of the Reaper” by Makiia Lucier - it’s a stand-alone with a Male main character and it’s reeeally good. It was may Favorite book for March

i am completely with you on the love hypothesis... it kept me entertained but the characters/plot were so childish 😭

mayaaaa😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Shatter me will 100% get you out your slump!!!

do u have a goodreads/storygraph?? i'd love to follow!!

maya i love your book girl era

My book recommendation to get out of a slump is the book Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert.

Maya just finished six of crows and let Me just say I’m in my fantasy era

ICL you make me laugh so much because everything you were saying about the book was facts, I think the reason I was able to enjoy the book a little bit more than you was because I just pretended as if they weren't the ages they were supposed to be because it just didn't make sense any sense why they behaved like that. Honestly, I really hated Olive as the main character because she was soooo jarringggg like all she did was lieeee back to back to back. Like you actually have a chronic issue and the sunshine aspect wasn't even there in her character at all; and the best friend was moving so weirdly likeeee ,if she said she's over him then she is and if you still feel like maybe she's not then the best thing to do as HER FRIEND, is to lay off a bit and stop constantly asking and talking about it. like my dayyssss she was actually so selfish but yh she definitely rubbed me the wrong way. AND yes you are so right about the smut scene in the book because I was so confused, like I didn't get how they were able to do all that while she was visibly so upset about what had legit just happened to her. It didn't any sense like I had to go back to see if it was just me that witnessed what had just happened previously. YUPPP AND THE MISCOMMUNICATIONNN WAS MAD LIKE IF U ACTUALLY JUST OPEN UR MOUTH but it's like every time she opened her mouth all she could do was lie. and personally I hate it when the mcs pretend as if they don't rate each other (always in fake dating situations) even after everything and will always be like we were never actually dating like stfu🙂but that's the end of my rant

hey maya, where did you get your necklaces from they are so pretty

MAYA I lOVE YOUUUUU 🤍

Now read The Spanish Love Deception lol

New camera?

I read romance to get out of slumps and I didn’t hate the love hypothesis!! Her other book though with the similar cover is trash

omg reading vlog! also do you have a goodreads account?🤭

u are 100% correct. I hated the love hypothesis until the last few chapters where the actual romance came in. but it’s a really good pallet cleanser book when u are in the middle of a long fantasy !

manhwa - korean

but i have to say if cutesie not your vibe probbly going to hate it and i do get it some of the characters are qustionable

If you're busy and not a fast reader, the answer is Audiobooks. Unfortunately not everyone can do audiobooks. Otherwise I'm assuming it's having time and being a fast reader, which I am not, so I'm all about the audiobooks. Fun reading vlog, sorry you are not enjoying the books you're reading right now. Reading slumps are no fun!

The book is most likely a manwha because the protagonists name sounds korean

My name mabatho have 💜

READ SHATTER ME NEXT PLEASEEEE!!!

for shatter me, i just wanna say that book 1 is the worst in the series, so if you don't love it, i would still recommend trying out the rest of the series!! also i literally hate the love hypothesis even though i read a lot of romance books. it just genuinely sucks.

To read faster, set a goal like 50 pages a day.

giiiirl just so you are aware all of those cartoon covers are hidding smut. btw i was just wodnering if you had a goodreads or storygraph account

Love hypothesis was not a good book super boring the spicy was so random and not that fun but if you ever in another reading slump and you need a good romance book I recommend "marriage for one by Ella Maise" literally the best book I've ever read trust me

im also in a reading slump which in hand puts me in a writing slump. but, i started reading children of blood and bones on kindle and it’s good. dystopian/fantasy vibe. ive read the first 4 chapters and im waiting on the physical copy to come in so i can continue reading (bc i hate reading on smart devices)

i’ve been waiting for this moment… because right now it’s free time in my class and i got a whole 30 mins to finish this. 🥹 oh and i miss youuuu!!! 🤎
