i hate calling myself a non -reader that is like the saddest thing ever

when i was younger i literally couldn't leave my house without a book like i loved reading

so much i am so over this period in my life of literally not touching a book.

The only two books I've picked up are the new

Hunger Games books that Suzanne Collins released in the last couple years.

I'm obsessed with The Hunger Games, so that's not even very surprising.

But both times when I finished those books, I was back into my reading slump.

Like nothing would interest me.

I couldn't finish anything.

I just was not as into it.

And that is so sad.

So I'm going to fix that in this video.

I am officially going to be entering my reading era again

because I'm going to spend the entire week reading as many books as possible.

And I think by reading as many books as possible,

it's going to show me that there's more out there that's enjoyable that I have no idea about yet.

Today is Monday.

I'm going to make a cup of coffee and we're going to get started with the first book.

Finally, I get to talk about this series.

I have been so excited to talk about these.

First off, the covers oh my god these are the most beautiful books

i own like absolutely in love with these these are the uk covers

and i am just so obsessed they are so pretty

so i started this series about a month ago without giving any spoilers

i wanted to show the aesthetic of the book

because i feel like

when i'm starting a new book

i want to see like the vibe like what am i

getting myself into what world are we jumping in this is

the first one once upon a broken heart first one took me the longest to read.

Then I started the second one, which took me about a week to read.

And now we are starting today on the third book, which I started yesterday and I'm already halfway through.

I love this series so bad.

This did it for me.

Like the last week, I have not done anything except think about these books.

And that's when I knew I had to make this video.

So it is Monday and we are starting with the third book in this series.

I think I'm going to finish the rest of this book really fast.

So let's get to reading.

Guys, it's too good.

I am going to be so sad when this series is over.

It is so good.

You are so cute over there

i honestly don't know which i like more like the second one was

so insanely good but

so far this third one is really good too don't get me wrong i did like the first one also

but i think these two are just on another level just like the descriptions of like the character's hair is

so pretty the main character in this book has pink hair

and i literally want to dye my hair pink so bad just

because of this book like i'm just obsessed like i want to live in this book it's

so good i'm back home

i brought my book out to run errands today like i am

that attached to reading this i really think it'll have a good ending

i think i'm gonna be happy with it

but i'm still gonna be really sad that it's over

and my feelings are all over the place like honestly i think i'm too emotional to be a reader.

It's like so intense every time.

I stopped at Barnes and Noble to pick up another book for this week.

We're not going to talk about it yet.

I'll talk about it later tonight after I finish this.

But I also picked up a coffee and this muffin.

I got a cinnamon muffin.

There's a lot of talk about foods in this book, specifically the third one.

And the way these foods are described sound like the most delicious ever.

Like little treats and cakes

and like just the intricate details makes me want to go to a cafe

and get a little treat right now

so to finish this book i figured i might as well have an iced coffee

and then this cinnamon muffin just as like a little treat

i wanted to show you guys a bunch of super easy

and delicious school lunch and snack ideas i was always

so bad at packing a lunch before school like i did not have time in the morning

so i wanted to talk about a lot of health I'll see you next time

but convenient snack ideas like something you can just grab right before running out the door

but that actually have high quality ingredients that support your energy mood and wellness.

I am like as pink as it gets right now.

I can't do this.

I'm sitting up in my seat.

I cannot breathe that my stomach hurts like i am sweating right now

and i can't i'm like delirious at this point

100

okay we need a debrief i have no words this series was

101

so so good these are the first books to get me out of a reading slump i thought

102

that reading slump was permanent to be honest with you Jax

103

I think I'm in love with him I'm not gonna lie like I was rooting for them

104

so bad throughout this entire series

105

Number one the apples

106

that Jax is eating throughout this series I think it's like a metaphor like

107

and now that I've finished it

108

and like I know what they mean I feel like I need to go back

109

and reread all of these

110

I do have a lot of unanswered questions though Like there are main characters in this series

111

that we just never got an answer for like I don't know where they went

112

it was kind of like a vague like oh

113

and they just disappeared what do you mean

114

that was a main character like what

115

so I think the third book it should have been longer

116

we should have had more like to be honest like 400 pages is not enough

117

but I am happy with the ending I was like I think I know where this is going

118

but if it takes a wrong turn

119

and I'm left devastated I'm gonna be devastated for like a while these books have been really playing with my emotions.

120

Here is my finished series and the first book I finished in this video.

121

I'd like to say I'm a fast reader

122

but I feel like I didn't read that fast because it took me a while to finish it.

123

Usually after finishing a series like

124

that I feel like I would let it like marinate

125

and I would let myself sit with it for a while

126

but I think that's what causes my reading slumps too because after finishing that how am I supposed to move on?

127

How am I supposed to start a new book

128

and like start from the beginning of a new story

129

but in this video i have no choice i am going to start a new book

130

and i'm going to choose it right now i could jump into a new series there are two

131

that have been at the top of my mind recently the fourth wing

132

and powerless but i think we're going to get to those later in this video

133

because i want to read just one book

134

and i think we're going to do heartless i went

135

and picked this up at barnes and noble today

136

because this has been on my to read list for a

137

while my sister has been begging me to read this for

138

so long and i feel like this is a good step after reading this series

139

so i will see you guys tomorrow to start book two i could not sleep less night either

140

because i was way too excited to have my first pumpkin spice latte of the year

141

or because i finished that book last night it was

142

because i finished

143

that book last night cheers yeah today's gonna be a good day last night i finished those books

144

and i cannot get them out of my head

145

so as you may or may not know there's a series called caraval by the same author

146

that ties in with once upon a broken heart

147

and i didn't know these two tied together at all until i already started reading

148

Once Upon a Broken Heart.

149

So I wish I had read the Caraval series first.

150

I'm gonna take a little time to let

151

Once Upon a Broken Heart marinate and like let it settle in

152

and then I'll go back and read Caraval and I'll probably read

153

Once Upon a Broken Heart after I read the Caraval series.

154

I think it'd be too much to like dive into that series so soon after finishing

155

Once Upon a Broken Heart because I really need time to process to be honest with you.

156

So anyway I will be reading care of all.

157

I really want to but not yet.

158

I don't think I can handle it to be honest.

159

So what I am going to be reading next is Heartless.

160

I am so excited.

161

I've heard this book is a 10 out of 10.

162

This is just a single book like this is not a series.

163

This is just a single book and I think that'd be

164

so good and then we'll read another series this week once I finish this.

165

I'm so excited.

166

It's another fantasy romance which I'm kind of learning is my favorite.

167

I want to read this one a little differently because I want to annotate.

168

I should have done this when I read

169

Once Upon a Broken Heart, but again, I'm just getting into my reading era, so I'm figuring this shit out.

170

But I bought these yesterday when I picked up this book.

171

They're little page markers.

172

I wish there were cuter colors.

173

I think I'm gonna make this really simple for this book.

174

I'm just gonna use probably the pink ones because I feel like it kind of matches the cover the best.

175

And I am literally only gonna mark off the pages that I really like.

176

Maybe there's like a good quote, Maybe I'm feeling a certain way.

177

Um, maybe there's a twist.

178

Maybe there's like a really romantic scene I'm gonna mark off

179

that page just with one color

180

and then maybe I'll get a little more intense with the annotating and I'll make like a color -coded

181

Annotating page marker and like each color matches up with like a feeling I'm having when I'm reading

182

We'll see but for now

183

We're just probably gonna use pink and I'm gonna mark off all the pages that stand out to me

184

So I have a very busy day today.

185

So we are bringing everything along with me I know I'm gonna have some time to read throughout my day

186

so we'll make that happen but I'm just gonna jump in.

187

There is no time to process the last series because I think I will be broken hearted if I do.

188

So we're just gonna jump into the next book.

189

i didn't have too much time yesterday to read

190

but i think i made up for it last night

191

and this morning because i am definitely over halfway through

192

when i first started reading this book yesterday it was good

193

but i wasn't like immediately hooked

194

but i decided to stick to it i'm like i'm gonna keep reading i've heard it's really good

195

and i'm so glad i did

196

because it did get really good it wasn't until page like 120

197

that I was hooked not that the first 120 pages weren't good

198

but like it took me until

199

that point until I was like okay I can't put

200

this book down like I am really obsessed

201

this book is literally the Alice in Wonderland Queen of Hearts villain origin story

202

that is literally what this book is I don't know honestly with these fantasy romance books I don't know

203

if I can handle an ending

204

that isn't good like I think I'd be devastated forever um

205

if it wasn't we are on chapter 34

206

and to be honest it's gone by really fast like 300 pages is pretty crazy

207

I honestly think I could finish this tonight

208

if I like really put my mind to it

209

because that's my goal like I'm trying to read as many books as possible in this video

210

so we're getting these done left and right.

211

This book has my emotions all over the place.

212

i don't even know what's going on i feel sick reading this right now like something really good just happened

213

but i know in like a page

214

that could change i can't do this look at these bookmarks like oh my god please tell me

215

this ends good honestly guys i'm mad at everyone in this book right

216

now like are you kidding me

217

it's all just like a lot to process just don't agree with the decision making in this book

218

and it's making me angry like honestly all of the characters are like making me angry except one there's one

219

that i like i feel like alice in wonderland in itself

220

is already like a trip the riddles the rhyming the way the characters talk

221

and in the book it's just like that too

222

i can't do this um i can't do this right now are we serious

223

i literally i can't i'm gonna cry right now I refuse to accept this.

224

Well, I finished.

225

I held back my tears.

226

I'm not gonna lie.

227

I am a wreck after reading that book.

228

Oh my god.

229

Are you kidding me right now?

230

My emotions are all over the place because wow.

231

I feel like I need to watch Alice in Wonderland now, to be honest.

232

Like, I know the Queen of Hearts character and she's always super angry, super mad.

233

She has this temper where she doesn't even think

234

she just goes into this like blind rage you know we learn in here it's because she's heartbroken

235

and heartless and like

236

when you read this book it all like gets put together it's like one thing after the other

237

but also even to begin with she already was kind of this like mean spirited person

238

that's kind of what i got from it like

239

when i first read the first couple chapters i'm like damn

240

this girl is like mean the way she would talk about people like she already had this kind of like

241

Root of being not the nicest person like it all escalated one thing after the other

242

She just became more and more into that character that we know.

243

Wow Yeah, I didn't know I needed this in my life, but it was really good

244

Wow, that was so like evil to do to me because i'm gonna be thinking about this book now for so long

245

And every time I watch alice in wonderland now i'm gonna like

246

Have this at the back of my head

247

that book last night destroyed me like more than i even anticipated to be honest i woke up this morning

248

and i just laid there in bed and stared at the ceiling because i was like

249

it is day four and we are at another turning point in this video

250

because i get to choose the next book we're going to read this week.

251

And I want to move back into a series.

252

These two books have been at the very top of my to read list over the last couple months.

253

So what I like to do before starting a book is I look at the aesthetic of the book.

254

I literally want to see like the vibe that this book gives.

255

I want to see like the world I'm going to be stepping into.

256

And between the two of these, I feel like the fourth wing is like the perfect book for fall.

257

Whereas powerless might be better to start now summer going into fall i don't know why i'm kind of feeling

258

that way so i think we are going to read powerless first

259

i just can't get over these these are so pretty

260

so we are going to be starting with this one first based on the aesthetic

261

that i've seen of these books i feel like this would be perfect to jump into after what we've read

262

so far in the last two books it's like very much about royalty and princesses and queens.

263

I don't know.

264

That's kind of the vibe I get from the last two books I read.

265

So I feel like this one is perfect to go into next and then we'll read

266

The Fourth Wing.

267

I think I'm making the right decision.

268

I also wanted to get some new page markers to annotate this book.

269

I really wanna match the page markers to the color of the cover.

270

So since this one's purple, I'm gonna be using the two purple shades in this page marker set.

271

I think this is so perfect and so cute.

272

I love the two shades of purple in here.

273

i am on page 81 and i feel like this book

274

so far has been really good like i have not been bored whatsoever

275

but i feel like now it's finally like starting

276

so i've been pretty locked into this book

277

so far especially since it's the beginning like it was a little bit confusing

278

but i feel like that's pretty normal especially for like a fantasy book i've found there is just

279

so much to explain and so many like things going on

280

that i have to really sit with it

281

and think about it for a minute and i'm like wait what

282

so i feel like the beginning of any like fantasy book

283

at this point is like just a lot to take in at once

284

there's this map in the beginning of the book

285

and i literally flip back and forth to this map like on every page

286

because i'm like okay wait what are we talking about i need the visual the characters are really good

287

i like this book because it has two perspectives

288

so it switches off almost every chapter between the two main characters

289

so it's really good so far i'm on page 81

290

and i feel like now it's like finally picking up my goal is to read at least another hundred pages

291

so i get almost halfway through the book

292

i am sitting here just melting over this book right

293

now like i can't do this my goal for tonight was to get to page 400

294

so that tomorrow morning i can finish this book i think it's around 500 pages

295

So I would knock out those last hundred pages in the morning

296

But i'm on page 432

297

and I cannot put this down I cannot I have these little page markers as i've showed you guys

298

and i'm kind of marking off the pages

299

Marked off quite a few and the last couple pages.

300

I have put

301

Four page markers on each page

302

Like you guys I can't do this.

303

I can't do it.

304

I am screaming right now i was like i have to talk about this

305

because i'm sitting here on the couch and i'm just like rocking back

306

and forth i'm like

307

if my neighbors could see me i look insane

308

i can't do this right

309

now i mean oh my god let me show you this there's three page markers on this page

310

that is crazy if

311

that doesn't convince you to read this book

312

i don't know what's gonna convince you they're having this scene in the rain right now

313

and when i tell you it is my dream like that is my dream date

314

We'll be right back.

315

well you guys I did it I finished powerless

316

and for the past hour while I've been getting ready I've just been letting it marinate

317

because oh my god this book was crazy I did not know how this book was gonna end

318

because there was just so much going on

319

because throughout like most of the story yes there were complications there were like intertwined relationships there was like things

320

that weren't being said but it was also just so good

321

and like just so amazing

322

that I looked past all of those complications to just enjoy like the good

323

that was happening but then at the end of the book everything went crazy

324

and like all those complications got like extremely heightened

325

I have to read the second book now basically it's just insane this book was

326

so good at the end like now

327

that i've finished i feel bad for every single character like i can see everyone's perspectives

328

i understand where everyone's coming from it's honestly all just brutal

329

like it's just all brutal to be honest with you like you know

330

so far during this video

331

i have not had to force myself once to read reading has been the highlight of my day every day

332

this week

333

and this book especially like i was loving this book as you saw

334

this book took the longest to get through so far in this video

335

which makes sense because there was so much in here like worlds were being built in front of my eyes.

336

I'm so wrapped up in it.

337

It is crazy.

338

These are the main books in the series.

339

We have Powerless and then next is Reckless and then last is Fearless but there's also ones that go in between these.

340

So there's one, 1 .5, two, three and then 3 .5 just came out.

341

So I have two choices.

342

I could either jump right into book number two

343

which is reckless look at this cover i mean these are just the most beautiful covers ever

344

but i could either jump right into book two

345

or i could read book 1 .5 it's right after powerless

346

and it's called powerful

347

and this is told from the perspective of one of the other characters in the book

348

she was a big part of the story

349

but she wasn't like a main character to where we really learned about who she was

350

so that sounds pretty good i did like her character in the book

351

so i'm like i could read her perspective and more about her

352

and i think everything would tie together even better

353

but i honestly just want to jump right into reckless like i need to find out what's happening

354

i need to just continue with the story i can't go

355

and learn another perspective yet so i think we are gonna read reckless next

356

so this is what we are gonna be starting today

357

and it is day six so we only have today and tomorrow to read as much of this as we can.

358

it is time to do my final reflection of this video

359

because what a week i experienced a lot of emotions

360

this week i was all over the place every single day there was a lot going on

361

but we have a lot to talk about because I read so much.

362

I've never read four books in a week before so I feel really proud of myself and it was so much fun.

363

Like long story short, I did not have to force myself to read once.

364

Reading actually became the highlight of my day every day this week.

365

It was so much fun to jump into a book

366

and there are some good ones that I need to talk about right now.

367

We started day one with this series by Stephanie Garber.

368

This is Once Upon a Broken Heart and this series honestly is what got me out of a reading slump.

369

I started day one with the third book because the week before I had finished one and two.

370

This series was a 10 out of 10.

371

I love these so much.

372

I would say the second and third are the best.

373

The second is probably the best.

374

The first one I did really like but it took me a while to really get obsessed with it.

375

Like it was about 50 to 70 pages until I was like hooked, but it was still really good.

376

Really pretty.

377

I'm just obsessed with the aesthetic of these books.

378

But the second one, I read this one so fast.

379

This one was really good.

380

Like I was on the edge of my seat.

381

And then the third one, I read this book in like a day and a half.

382

I love this one so much.

383

If I have to be super strict with my rating right now, I would give the first one four stars.

384

I would give the second one five stars

385

and I would give the third one four and a half stars if I have to really be picky.

386

Otherwise the series is a five star series.

387

I loved it so much.

388

It was so good and I'm in love with Jax to be honest with you.

389

Like I don't know what to do with myself.

390

I loved this series so much that I bought this series this week.

391

This is the Care of All series and you're supposed to read this before you read these.

392

I messed up.

393

I really did.

394

I didn't even know these tied in together whatsoever until I was already over halfway through the first book

395

and I was like well it's too late now

396

but I love this series so much that I'm gonna read this series

397

and then I'm gonna reread this series honestly

398

I just have to be back in this world I can't like I absolutely loved these

399

so much so it convinced me to buy these also

400

and my problem is once I finish a series it's

401

so hard for me to jump into a new one

402

so like with The Hunger Games as I went on a rant at the beginning of this video.

403

I love that series so much but every time I finished a book from

404

that series it is impossible for me to jump into anything else and that's what I feared with this one.

405

This series finally got me out of a reading slump.

406

I thoroughly enjoyed it but once I finished it I was like how am I gonna move on?

407

Like how am I gonna now start a new series or a new book?

408

But because of this video I had to start a new one and it forced me to continue my reading era.

409

So next by day two in this video, I decided to read Heartless.

410

This book wrecked me.

411

This is a standalone.

412

It's only one book, not a series.

413

And this was honestly perfect.

414

Like I really liked breaking up the books that way.

415

Like I'd read a series and then read a standalone and then I started a new series.

416

That was like a great way to kind of keep things moving.

417

This book was a 10 out of 10.

418

This is a five star.

419

I loved this one so much.

420

This again took me a minute to get into.

421

I think these like fantasy romance books, there's just a lot going on.

422

There's a lot of details.

423

So like you have to give it a chance.

424

That's really what I learned.

425

Like give yourself the first 100 pages.

426

I know that's a lot.

427

In all of these, I was hooked before 100 pages, but like I have to do that.

428

I think that's my new rule with reading.

429

Like I can't say anything or judge it until I've read over 100 pages.

430

So this book, same thing.

431

It took me a minute to get into it.

432

Like there were no tabs

433

in that first section

434

but then I was obsessed I absolutely loved this book

435

it wrecked me the ending is really tough

436

this is basically like the villain origin story of the queen of hearts from Alice in Wonderland

437

and obviously like we know

438

that character she has like a very bad temper she's like super angry

439

and she has every reason to be I feel

440

so bad I just can't I've always loved Alice in Wonderland

441

so I knew I would really like this book too and everything made sense like all the details intertwine with the movies.

442

Everything makes sense.

443

Everything adds up.

444

So this book was so good, but it was rough.

445

This was also the first book I decided to annotate.

446

I didn't really annotate it.

447

I just used these like page markers to kind of mark off passages I really liked.

448

I loved doing that.

449

I think I will now forever annotate books like that.

450

It wasn't anything crazy since it was my.. first time annotating it.

451

It's just that like, I would read passages and I'm like, it spoke to me so well that I'm like, I have to mark this off.

452

Like I have to come back to this later.

453

So after I read that, I was like, oh my God, how am I going to move on again?

454

Every time I read a book now, I'm like stuck.

455

Like I cannot move on.

456

I really needed time to process, but I didn't give myself time to process.

457

I was jumping into the next book and now it was day four

458

and I decided to start powerless this series

459

i mean look at the tabs on this book like i went crazy marking off these pages

460

there were some pages

461

i put three page markers on one page like i could not get enough also these covers are

462

so insane i'm obsessed i got the uk hard covers

463

and they're just the most beautiful ever so starting with powerless

464

when i was reading

465

if you watched my reaction on day four

466

I was like wait what this is like very much like

467

the hunger games like to the point where things started happening

468

and I was like I had to set the book down

469

I was like am I reading the hunger games right

470

now like this is very heavily influenced by it there was

471

like one page where the main girl grabs a bow and arrow

472

and I'm like okay guys obviously throughout this video

473

I've talked about the hunger games like more than anything the hunger games is like my thing obviously

474

I caught on to like all those little details that reminded me

475

so much of it and I know how i feel about that

476

but regardless it's really good

477

this series is insane as soon as i finished the first one i moved right into the second one

478

so the second one is reckless

479

but in between these two books is like book 1 .5 it's called powerful

480

and you don't have to read it to move on to book two

481

so i decided not to read it but i kind of regret

482

that basically that book just goes into detail on one of the characters

483

that we don't really know the background for in book one

484

so you don't have to read it but I really like getting those characters develop.

485

I want to know every little intricate detail of their lives so I do wish I read that one.

486

I think honestly I'm going to read that one.

487

I think it would have been better to read it right after this one

488

so it's super fresh in my mind but I think I'm going to start that like this week.

489

I am actually going to Europe tomorrow so I will be buying

490

Powerful there so I can get the UK hardcovers.

491

I might as well.

492

I mean, it just makes sense, but I jumped right into Reckless.

493

This is book number two, and this book is really good.

494

I love this one so far.

495

I am over halfway through.

496

I will be reading tonight, but I know I'm not going to finish this.

497

I'm going on a trip tomorrow.

498

I have way too much to do, so I will be bringing this along with me.

499

I think the second half is going to be even better than the first half, to be honest with you.

500

This series honestly is so good, and honestly, since I've been in a reading slump for so long after reading the Hunger Games series,

501

this would have been the perfect series to jump into afterwards because it's super similar but also it's just really good.

502

I love this one.

503

I am so excited for book number three but I will be reading book number one and a half.

504

That is everything I read this week and wow what a week it was.

505

I honestly had such a great time filming this video.

506

This video was one of the most fun videos I've ever filmed.

507

My screen time on my phone went way down this week too and I really like that.

508

We're not going to be in a reading slump anymore

509

because now I have an insane list of books that I want to read.

510

Let me know in the comments if you have any reading suggestions.

511

I think you can tell my taste from what I read this week.

512

I'm very much into the fantasy romance genre.

513

I never thought I would be this kind of reader.

514

I am into it.

515

Thank you guys so much for watching.

516

Until the very end of this video.

517

I know this was a long one.

518

I really appreciate you guys so much.

519

I love you all and I will see you guys soon.

520

Bye guys!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
