Hey Guys Welcome back to my Channel Today I am doing the Reader
Problems Book Tag you know that I love Book tags I love Watching them and I love
Creating Them so I thought this video would be A fun one to do I've Certainly Had Many Reader Problems in the past so I'm
Excited to See what Kind of Problems this Tag Builds Into and
Stay Tuned to the end of the Video to Watch my review on this awesome Reading Lamp because
One of my biggest Reader Problems Is of Course Lighting I could
Never Get the right Lighting and I'm always hurting my eyes so this is a major Reader life hack I will put the Link in
The Downbar of my Video and if I have a little Review toward the end of the Video After the Tag so Without Further
Ado Let's Get, Into all my reader Problems
Question Number One You Have Twenty Thousand Books on your TBr how in the World do you Decide what to read next
So yeah, I do Feel like I have twenty Thousand Books on my TBr
but
What i usually Kind of do Is Just go by?
Either
Deadlines I have or what I'm Feeling and Usually deadlines win which kind of stings but If I have a book
Review That Needs to come out Soon of Course I have to read that Book first and it's a priority above Others
Even Though that's not Always fun Because Sometimes all you want to do is Read this one Book and
You Have to read Another so it Definitely Causes a reading Slump and
I'm Still working Through that right now yeah so school Books that I need to Read of Course, also come first and then like
Reviews That I need to complete for
Blogging and Everything Because I also blog Separately from Youtube with my local independent Bookstore so
Arcs That Come from that are my top Priority
But I haven't Really Done like free Reading in A long Time so I
Guess I would answer before I started doing the whole blogging Thing that I just go by what I feel
And Sometimes I would start a book and not Really liked it too much and then I just kind of
Drop it and leave it Aside and pick up another Book and Just Test out and then When I finally
Have a book that I'm Really
Into That's what I end up Reading and Finishing and
That that's a Series and I have the rest of the Books of Course I go through all of Those I
Don't have a TV archer Though and I really Think I should Make
One I think that's the Really fun Idea and I love Crafting and diy is so
Come Down Below if You think that'd be A fun Video to Watch like I guess Showing you how I create this jar and I
Guess Taking These the steps so if you want to create one like mine you can do it too I
Think That Could be Really cool so
Comment Down Below if You're interested
so Number Two you are Halfway Through a book and you're not Loving it do you quit or are you Committed so I
Used to Always Commit to books and This, was like for the Majority of my reading life I didn't like a book too
Bad I was gonna Finish that sucker but Now I guess I don't really have as much Time and
Because of my lack of Time I
Know that the Books that I'm Reading I really want to be Enjoying because I just
Simply don't Have Enough Time to Read everything and so
If I'm going to be Reading I want to read something that Makes me Happy and excited and then I'm Passionate About
So i would say I quit the Book but I don't permanently Quit it I'm Always open To?
- Trying to Read it again but for the Time Being I kind of set it Aside and Move on to something Else
Number Three at the end of the Year is coming and You're so close but so far away on your Goodreads Reading Challenge
do you try to Catch up and how yes so
Anyone Follows Me on Goodreads you might Be Wondering like what's up with my reading Challenges and They're
very weird so I
This is A long story, but A couple Years Ago I
Was like Five Books Shy At my Reading?
Or Something I was Reading like 50 Books that years so it wasn't so Bad and Everything I still Read A lot of Books
But I
Did Not Read Enough Books to
Reach my challenge Goal and I did not Change my challenge Scope for the year ended so
What happened is my little Reading Challenge Bridgette's it Said like Freaking Challenge
2016 This May Book Said This Many Books Completed Or Incomplete it Didn't
Show on my Page and That Really Bothered me Because I Participated in The Challenge I just Didn't complete it so I
Learned That Even if I read Books Later on you Can mark Them as Read and the Year 2016 or something even if it's
2017 and That'll Show up on your Reading Challenge
so then I set my reading Challenge For like 30 Books that Year and Thinking that the Books that I read I
Would Put in The 2016 Challenge?
Team No doubt 2016 South the year that this Happened but for example and
It Worked out well and then the Widget showed up all complete and I was all happy because you know
I want to know Complete and Then I
Had The Problem of I was Reading Books for last year's Challenge I didn't Think the next Year's Challenge and again I
Guess i like to Make Problems for Myself and my Reading life and Career Because I
Didn't Change my challenge again when I knew it was Incomplete for that Year?
So this Year I am Working, on last Year's Challenge and so I don't even I think I finished last
Year's Challenge But I haven't even Set a new one For this Year I
Know it's a lot that's A lot, it's a long story but. I don't really know how my reading challenges are Gonna Work out
But I hope They do because I feel very
Satisfied When I see A completed Reading challenge so this Year I might even Put. Just like 5 Books
you Know I read more Than 5 Bucks This Year of Course but that's Just like and
Yeah I don't even Know what the Question, was but I?
Try to Complete my Reading Challenges and if I don't i finish them the next Year and then Cause Problems for Myself in Definitely
Number for The Covers of a series you love do not Match how do you cope um
How do I cope I don't I
Can't Think of a series that I love that the Covers don't Match thank God but I guess I guess what I probably
Do is i put the Covers that Match in A row and then A cover that
Doesn't Match Have it like Facing Outwards to ward
I guess the viewer of my Shelves so that
It Almost Looks Like They're Different Series and I kind of ignore that they're Supposed to be the same so
Yes that's a good way of Coping but I don't know I'm Just so Thankful but None of my favorite Series are Like that
Number Five Everyone and Their Mother Loves the book you, really, don't like who do you Bond with over Shared Feelings
Uh-Huh I
Think There's Always People on Booktube that aren't going to like one Book i mean I think you'll always be able to find A fellow
Book Cater for Glover Or Whatever
So i'd probably
Just search the Community Sure yes Look for Batteries of a Book
I don't know I'm Pretty Easy to please With Books so I'm not like
Well I hate that Book so much or Anything I just kind, of like yeah that was an ok, Book, so?
Probably That
But I also have some Friends in School that like to Read and they Are much more Judgmental of Books than I am like so
My Friends hate This Election and it Breaks my little Heart but I probably
Have them Read the book and Know that they're Probably I'm Just like it and then be like
Oh isn't that Book Terrible but I guess that's how
I'D go about it number six is you are Reading a book and you are about to start Crying in Public how
do you deal I
Take Deep Breaths like Lots of Deep Breaths and I tell Myself
It's not real and then a part of my brain Goes no it's real other Pretty rooms like some real Lot
Of Stuff Going on in There I don't know I guess I do want some Deep Breathing and
Kind of Take a Break and
Maybe Get on my Phone
I guess that kind of ruins the Reading Experience
I'm not gonna lie I remember that in Eighth grade I was on this Field trip to big bend it's This National Park in Texas
And it's Gorgeous There but it's a really Long Bus Ride from Where
My Videos so it was like eight Hours or something Crazy with a, bunch of Kids Middle School Boys
Think About that it was Terrible but I
Had A Fuckin Thing I think it
Was one of the Thunder Bass Books and I literally Almost Started sobbing
It was so Sad you know Sara Joint mass is writing Is incredible so i'm like about to stop but I'm like, no it's
Not Really Happening Just Take A Deep Breath like don't think about it Look out the Window it's pretty
Rocks I don't know it's a desert I
Just Kind of Try to Talk Myself Down and Be like don't think about it don't think About it think About it
Wait until You're in your Tent and you Can cry, alone
That Was big bend Number seven Is a sequel of a book you love it Just
Came out but You've Forgotten A lot from the prior Novel will you reread the book, skip the Sequel try
To find Us an Office on Goodreads Crying in Frustration um
Probably Crying Frustration and Honestly it happens to me Actually A Lot because sometimes you
Don't even Like have the Money to get the next Book in The Series and Then
You're like Great I forgot everything it's Been What a year Two years
oh my gosh it's more Than two years like Fifth Wait for me
I had the Infinite See you still haven't Read it and I don't know how I'm going to Read that Book ever but
It's just so much stuff and i'm Still Gonna Read it I just don't know how it's like a really good Reading
Life hat Bro my slow Readers out There Or readers With not enough Money to get the next Book Immediately when it Comes out Is
To go online and There Are Websites That Actually like Summarize Books and not like
Spark Notes Or Anything Kind of Summaries but like why a books a bunch of Book bloggers out There
I just like This
Is what's important for you to now going Into the next Book and they have like?
Almost Every Book out There at least like the really
Popular Typical Way Books that you've Read so that is like my lifeblood I've Done it Probably only like three or four Times but
Literacy Helps so much you're like
Oh my Gosh I forgot that even Happened so Definitely Check this out I might try
To See
If I can find some online and leave them Down Below but They are my Saving Grace Number eight you do not want Anyone
Anyone A Borrowing of your Books how do you Politely Tell People nope when, they Ask I
Definitely Had A problem With this more Middle School because that's When I had the most like Reader
Friends They Always want to Borrow my books and A lot of mine were Signed
And the first off I Keep my books in Really good Condition like
I'm super
Adamant About Them Singing and Like the Condition that I buy Them in The Bookstore and When I go to the bookstore I have to
I look so weird When I get out the Bookstore I'm Gonna Buy a book, Because I check Every Corner of the Book every
Like lying Every This There Can't Be Any wrinkles There Can't Be Anything Wrong With Aerials of a literally to not Buy the Book
so i want my books to Stay in Perfect Condition and I've Loaned People Books in the Past and it come Back in
My Heart Terrible Condition
Is so heartbreaking Is it's like Dude You Just ruined Like my beautiful
Like Practically New Book that I just got from Barnes & Noble and Literally it Looks like I just like
Got it from a thrift Store in Horrible Condition With Thank you thank you so much
so
So Yeah I Definitely get Salty
When People ruin my books so I don't want Mountainy Morris then I get like it's Hard
But A friend ruins your Boat, be like, oh?
Nothing's Wrong but Really so much is Wrong and they They
Don't know They're like Nonetheless Or that they Just Totally like Sacrifice your Book
You're Like Really Butthurt About it and They Just Literally Think, oh Whatever it's a book so I
Just don't Loan Books out even My mom my sister Afraid to Borrow Books for me then what am I, oh
No Seriously you Can Borrow it Just Take Really good care of it
When you're Reading it you Can't drink Anything when you're Reading it and you can't leave it on your bed you can't leave it Anywhere
You Have to very Carefully put it back on the Bookshelf like
There There Like Terrified of me so i just tell people like, oh I don't really
Loan out Books Cuz I've Had some Bad Experiences in the Past and A
Lot of Them are signed Or something like that so i tried abused nice as i can while, also being like
Strong Because I've, also Had People did I Say that and They're like, oh?
I won't do Anything and you're like I know you'll Probably ruin it
Your eyes might not be able to Detect the little
Little Defects On a book but to my eyes
Number nine is Reading a, dd you picked up and put Down Five Books in the Past Month how, do You get
Over your readings Up I
Don't Entirely I think it's Really hard to get Rid of One
Fully But I think There's things that you can do to Work Through them I have a whole Reading some Video on how to Read
More and Get on for Reading Some and I'll link that down Below but
It's Just I try to stop Watching so much TV
I try to put Down Any Books that I don't like and only Read Books like I do like but I guess
You're Having A hard Time Finding one Like that there's not much you can, do so how do you flips Help A lot for me
They Get all like the Video I go more in Depth
Number Ten There are so Many new Books Coming out that you are Dying at to read how Many do you actually Buy um
Depends on the Time of the Year if it's Around my Birthday I Buy a lot
If it's Around Christmas I Buy A lot but if it's any other Time of the Year I probably
Won't even Get to Buy a single one so I
I Definitely Feel like A lot of Books do Come out in The Fall my Birthday Is in August and
Christmas Is Christmas you know December so i usually get much of my fault Books I always go to
A book festival that happens in The Fall where i live and
There's All These Amazing Books that I went by and a lot
of Them Are
So my Parents Are Kind of to Buy them all for me and I get them signed and Then I wrapped Them in Christmas Paper
In October and We Stack Them up and my parents closet and then when the tree goes UP and Around november
We put Them all under the Tricky so kind of A weird System but It Works out Really?
Well and then it like Makes Gift-Giving, Really, Easy, Because my Parents are like
We Already Butter oliver gifts in October and They, were all booked so now we are covered she?
Was like Twenty gifts under the Tree?
We're Good
so number Eleven Is
After You've Bought the new Books you can't Wait to Get - How Long do they sit on Yourself before you get to them
Oh my Gosh I'm Too Ashamed to even Probably Guess
When I was Younger I don't have Such a, giant Tbr Pile I would Say They Probably lasted like
Max One Month Pushing it Two Months of Bright Get to Reading them that's what that was Terrible?
Oh my Gosh i'm Such a book Hoarder I have ten Books that I haven't Read
Middle School me Could only See Myself Now I swear I
Have like 150 Books on my TBr I
Think I
Did a TV of Shame Tag and I think I counted them all which Is my lord that took a long Time to film so
I would guess Now I don't even want to Say like a year I
Haven't Even Gotten To with my giant TV Arra like that Literally tells you that I haven't Gotten To books that I've Purchased
Literally When I was in Eighth grade?
Like that Is that is Terrifying I have had I mean I met a junior in High School right now so
11th Grade and in Some of Those Books I've got in Eighth grade Maybe even Seventh grade so if you Think About it
78 each A 9th and 10th and 11th at is four Years on my Shelf
That Bestop wasn't even There Four Years Ago I move Those all that is Just?
Kind of Frightening and I try not to Let my mind go There that is all for my reader problems you Can tell like
Kind of have A Lot and I try not to let Them get to me Because I think They're all Really Funny
so and I love that in The Reader Community I can, be like, oh my gosh that giant TV Although and Everyone's like
Ahaha, like Totally Slugs right and then you Can Say that in the real
World Or in A Non-Reader Community a non-Reader Setting and People will Literally
Be like that is the Most unrelatable Thing that I have ever heard I just Think that's Fascinating and
And i think it's so cool that it's so easy for us to Bond
Over Just like The silliest Things and I love it every Member
Englishmatt This Past Year my english teacher Said i highly doubt that Anyone in Here Reads in Their free Time and
Y'all Just like don't do that Anymore
Like as a generation and
You Just Said he, was like I would be very Surprised if Any of you read much and I was sitting There like?
Don't Say Thing, don't Say Anything, don't Say Anything I think it's so Funny how
There's I Guess This Mainstream Population that doesn't read much or Nearly as much as I thought that the general Population
Did and then
There's This Group of Us and we're like
So obsessed With Reading and so Consumed by it that's all We Talk about me I think
We're Watching like Videos right now Just Talking About
Books and Not Even Books in Particular This is Literally Just about what it's like to be a reader and like my problems that I
Have it's so
so Funny and Silly and I
Just Think it's so Funny that, We find Things like this so entertaining and other People
Would Rather Watch Paint dry and I just it's so Funny so?
Yeah I don't know Where I'm going With that I just Think that that's something so interesting to think About
So thank you for Watching at my book Tag Portion of this Video and I'm Gonna Start Talking About this super cool
Reading Life that I got so first up i'd like to thank the Company that sent this to me I love it so much and
I'm so thankful that I had the chance to try this Product out so this is a Clip on Reading at lamp
Clip Onto your Book and it is rechargeable it's Led and it has Three levels of Brightness Which I love Because if you're Reading
Toward Night you
Don't Really want great bright light you Just want a little something to Help when you're Reading and so it's touch sensitive so
you Tap Once Here
For The first Level of light One More Time for the second Level and One Time for the Third Level and Then When
You're Done you just flick it off I was super Hyped When I saw This as such since it is I was like?
Black in This Thing it was so Funny but I love this baby I haven't used it Actually A lot for Schoolwork Which
It's kind of Random but my friends and I love Going to Study and our Theater
We have This Really Cool Theater and We always go Just Kind of like like little Alleyways Behind the Stage and
Little Nooks and Crannies and it's so just cozy and it has the Best Study vibes Ever
It was Reminds Us to fall even in The spring, We just Always Think it's like the best Fall
All vibes There it's Amazing and the only Problem to say it's Pitch Black Dark
So it's Nice and Cold and Dark and Cozy and We have Lots of Fun Study in There but the lighting is Terrible
I always end up hurting my eyes
Sometimes I use the Flashlight on my Phone I'm like have a friend Sign it on Whatever I'm doing or all kind of like Position
Myself in an odd way to get the lighting right so
Having This light, was A super big, Game-Changer that all my friends were Really Jealous so now
We're Going to find Reading lights of Their Own to do your studying with Which is a really cool other Use for
Reading Lights But I have tried x my thickness Onto Books as
Well to Read and it Works Really Really Nicely?
I do recommend using this Lamp on Hardcover Books Rather Than Paperbacks if you can
Because if You're Like Me and you really Care, about the Quality of your Books something like a clamp
Like this Could Kind, of like Wrinkle a Paperback A bit and bend it Up and
You, don't want that so hardbacks These things don't even Affect if You Take the covers Off and
You Have them kind of neat Good or Whatever
So that it's a really good tip but I have used this on Paperbacks I tried it and it Really
Doesn't Affect it at all like it just so imperceptible
The Little Kind of Bending that you could on the Book but like if you
Don't Care About your Books that much it Really it's like Hardly noticeable so yeah I love this Lamp
I will link in the Downbar below Where you can
Buy Off of Amazon I think it's like Twenty Twenty-Five Dollars Which Is a really good
Deal so I will put that in The Description of this Video Thank you so much for Watching I just
I don't I feel Bad because I haven't Had a chance to Reply to comments very, Well Or very Quickly or very often These Days
But I just want you to know I
Read Every Single Comment I have YouTube Notify me With every Single Comment and I immediately Read Them on my Phone
And i Appreciate them that's so
So much I just Feel like People are always like Talking to me and Stuff About books and I'm Always

Conversations and it Makes Me so happy when I'm at school between Classes to like get a little Thing like
