Reading Rush Day One! _ Reading Vlog

Tonight I'm gonna go at like eight o'clock and then I'm gonna come home and I'm gonna sleep because I have to work in the morning but I'm gonna do daily vlogs I've decided I'm gonna try that out because I already have a lot of footage for this vlog so I'm like you know what let's try something new something I've never done before and something that I will probably fail at but I won't know until I try so let's get a little bit further into wicked Fox now I'm definitely procrastinating on reading right now but I feel like there has been no cat footage in this vlog so montage time so now that you got the actual content that you 1000% signed up for not me my cats now we will read so I was on page 170 at the start of the read-a-thon and I'm on page 206 now for wicked Fox and I was facetiming with Zoe and Hannah earlier and we were talking about this Hannah has started as oh he hasn't yet but my main issue with this book is I feel confused like I'm far into it and I still don't really understand what the plotline is or like who the characters are so I'm having really bad luck so far with my reads for the reading rush it's not that I'm not liking it I just I don't really think that the writing style is meshing with me but I'm gonna keep reading it I do need to finish it so I will definitely finish it I just think it may take me a little bit longer to get through because like I'm not super into it and I find it very dense and hard to read because I'm confused so hopefully some things will be cleared up in the next little bit and I'll kind of understand what's happening and what I'm reading about like I feel like I know where the plot lines going but I'm also like is that big enough of a thing to carry the plot and carry the story forward so hopefully my opinion will change and I'll end up enjoying it but right now I'm like meth again so it's just very mess so far this read-a-thon so since I finished the audiobook that I was listening to I ended up picking another one and that is Aurora rising by amie kaufman and jay kristoff so this wasn't technically on my TBR for the reading rush I almost said booktubeathon again but I have been meaning to get to this and I'm going to be using it for the prompt of a book with purple on the cover even though I do have quite a few things that do fit that this camera driving me nuts with not focusing on me it's very rude but I figure it is since it was going well and I needed another audiobook I would just pick another book to read I don't know I'm being ambitious it's only day one I did do my thumbnail for this vlog though and like it seems like I'm being an overachiever but really I'm just procrastinating on reading because I suck but now I'm going to go to boxing and then gonna come home and go to bed

This evening, I will be heading out at approximately eight o'clock, only to return home afterwards in order to rest as my work schedule the following morning demands. However, I have a new plan – I am going to commit to producing daily vlogs. With an existing stockpile of footage that I previously intended for this very purpose, I feel it is high time for me to try something entirely novel. By doing so, I can gain valuable insight into whether or not my efforts will be successful and perhaps learn from any potential setbacks.

As the day draws to a close, I find myself sitting with my feline companions in the presence of my reading material. I've made some significant progress in completing wicked Fox thus far – though I still hold some reservations regarding its writing style. Notwithstanding my ongoing difficulties in deciphering the plotline and character motivations, I will persevere in order to complete the book as planned. It's simply a matter of taking one step at a time, patiently working through any remaining obstacles until the narrative can be fully grasped.

Although I've made considerable strides thus far with wicked Fox, my experiences with other titles within the reading rush have not been quite so successful. Specifically, I remain perplexed by Aurora Rising – an audiobook that initially proved compelling but has since left me bewildered and struggling to make sense of its intricacies. Conversely, the writing style does not align itself particularly well with my personal preferences.

As a result, I am eager to engage in some montage footage featuring my feline friends as a means of breaking up the monotony of this reading session. This evening's vlog is rapidly coming together thanks to an assortment of video clips showcasing my companions' various antics and activities, such as their playful interactions with household objects.

On page 170, I found myself situated within wicked Fox thus far when I began engaging in an online discussion with some like-minded friends regarding the book. We briefly touched upon its author's work on a more recent title – wicked Fox being one of several books that have piqued my interest. Through our shared conversation and observations about the writing style, it has become increasingly clear that some readers may struggle to fully appreciate wicked Fox.

In light of these emerging doubts and frustrations with wicked Fox, I've come to realize the importance of persevering despite initial difficulties or misgivings. It is essential to stay committed to one's goals in order to unlock the true potential hidden within a particular work of literature. With this newfound resolve, I shall diligently proceed through wicked Fox until its completion.

Following my engagement with wicked Fox and other titles that have not yet resonated with me, I took some time to delve deeper into a new audiobook titled Aurora Rising by amie kaufman and jay kristoff. Due to a prior commitment to another title being read simultaneously – albeit one which is not part of the reading rush – I initially found myself unable to dedicate sufficient attention to this latest selection.

In the interest of fostering growth, I decided to make use of Aurora Rising as an opportunity to hone my listening skills and better comprehend its intricacies. Its dense writing style has proven challenging, but with each passing minute, I am growing more accustomed to deciphering the author's intentions and uncovering the underlying themes.

Throughout this evening, my focus will shift from reading to engaging in a series of exercises that aim to enhance my overall skills as an audio narrator – such as developing greater familiarity with various narrative styles, adopting different vocal tones for diverse characters, and cultivating a deeper connection to the words being read aloud. These skills will undoubtedly serve me well when pursuing more substantial commitments within the realm of audiobook narration.

In light of this newfound dedication and focus on my craft, I shall dedicate myself to mastering Aurora Rising while maintaining unwavering commitment to its eventual completion.

With that said, I have now set aside a considerable amount of time for my vlog preparation. It is high time for me to work diligently on editing the footage together with an assortment of images and captions that reflect upon the book being discussed in this particular video – though it seems my focus keeps drifting back toward wicked Fox.

I've found myself frequently distracted throughout this conversation by a multitude of distractions, including my need to go boxing later this evening. At present, I will be taking a brief pause from recording before deciding where my next step should lie and how best to proceed with capturing an engaging video that effectively conveys the essence of wicked Fox.

Moving forward, it is crucial for me to establish a clear structure and pacing in order to keep viewers engaged and entertained while conveying my thoughts and opinions about this particular book. With that said, I shall strive to find that perfect balance between content delivery and presentation.

Tomorrow, I will be entering a state of heightened alertness as the evening draws to a close – driven by my need for rest after a productive day spent producing daily vlogs and engaging with various literature titles within the reading rush.

When it comes to embracing change or venturing into uncharted territory, it is always wise to trust one's instincts. With this in mind, I have come to accept that the creation of these daily vlogs will be an ongoing process – not without its accompanying challenges but also offering opportunities for growth and self-improvement.

As we approach the end of my reading session, I take a moment to consider all the progress made thus far with wicked Fox. It has proven to be quite engaging at times – though I still struggle with some aspects of its narrative style. Nevertheless, by persisting through these difficulties, I have gained a greater appreciation for the author's work and an improved understanding of the book itself.

By focusing on various other audiobooks such as Aurora Rising in the coming days, I aim to explore new genres, expand my knowledge on literary themes, and further hone my skills within the realm of audiobook narration. Each of these titles presents a unique set of challenges – be it deciphering complex narrative structures or navigating authorial intent.

With that said, it is now time for me to draw this reading session to a close. As I prepare to engage in another round of vlog preparation and editing later on, I take a moment to reflect upon the progress made thus far – while also looking forward to tackling new challenges and opportunities presented by an ever-evolving literary landscape.

Throughout my engagement with wicked Fox, Aurora Rising, and other titles within this reading rush, it has become increasingly evident that embracing change can often lead to personal growth. As I continue on this path of self-discovery and exploration, I will remain committed to the development of new skills – including those related to audiobook narration.

As we draw closer to the end of my current vlog session, I find myself pondering the potential benefits and challenges associated with these daily vlogs. By embracing change, I have come to understand that growth often lies at the heart of overcoming our limitations – whether they be inherent personal traits or external circumstances.

The following morning will bring a new set of opportunities for me to explore, learn, and grow within the realm of audiobook narration and literary appreciation. As I embark on this journey, it is essential for me to maintain an open mind – willing to confront my preconceived notions and push beyond established boundaries in pursuit of knowledge.

When the time arrives for completing this current reading session, I am confident that I have gained a deeper understanding of wicked Fox and its underlying themes. This newfound comprehension will serve as a solid foundation upon which I can build future perspectives and growth – driven by an unwavering commitment to self-improvement and an unrelenting passion for literature.

Throughout the journey ahead, it is crucial for me to prioritize my dedication to audiobook narration – fostering an environment where I may continue to learn from both my successes and failures. As such, I shall remain focused on these goals, continually pushing myself beyond established boundaries in pursuit of growth and self-improvement.

With that said, the journey ahead will undoubtedly present numerous challenges but also provide a myriad of opportunities for personal growth – driving me further toward mastery within the realm of audiobook narration and literary appreciation.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhappy reading rush welcome to reading rush day one so it is presently 12:30 in the morning and I haven't read anything yet but that is because I've just been watching YouTube videos and I didn't really realize what time it was and I was going to try and fall asleep but I'm very awake right now I don't really know why but I'm in my pajamas which is this legend by Marie Lu t-shirt that we got a book on that I like live in because it's so comfortable but I wanted to go over my narrowed down TBR so I narrowed down my TBR to four books I'm going to stack the challenges and if I can read seven books that would be awesome that's obviously my ultimate goal but I'm not going to put too too much pressure on myself to actually do that so the first book that I'm starting off with is wicked Fox by cat show which I'm using for the challenge of a book with a nonhuman character then for the other challenges I have wicked like a wildfire by Elena Popovich which I will be using for the challenge reading a book with purple on the cover because it is a very very purple and also the challenge of a book that I meant to read last year next I have the wedding date by Jasmine Gilroy which I will be reading for the challenge reading an author's first book and I think that was the only challenge that I was doing for this one and finally I have the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone illustrated edition so my plan for this one is to read it for the challenge of a reading a book and I'm watching the movie adaptation and I'm also using it for the challenge of reading a book in the same spot the entire time and also the challenge of reading a book worth of five words or more in the title so my plan is to read it I figured out if I read it three chapters every night I'm gonna keep on almost calling it the booktubeathon but through no reading rush then I will be able to finish it and I'm going to read it in my bed here it's going to be my before bed book so I think that will be fun but I actually could have stacked these further like I could have used this book for so many of the challenges like I decided to kind of challenge myself and try it with the four books and see how I go and go from there and if I can read more that would be awesome but I'm gonna kind of take it easy and just have it be more of a fun reading week because I feel like every year for when it was the booktubeathon I would always read seven books and I would read a book a day and I would put so much pressure on myself to do that that like it was enjoyable but it also wasn't really enjoyable so I want to try and be more lackadaisical about it and have a bit more fun with it this year so I'm going to start off with reading my three chapters of this book right now and then I'm probably going to go to bed and I will have to eat fries a little bit more in the morning good morning oh so it's 9:00 in the morning I just got up not that long ago but last night I didn't get my three chapters of Harry Potter time so I'm off to a great start but I was sitting there listening to the Harry Potter soundtrack well I was doing it in like it was great I just was very distractible last night so I kept on like checking my phone every two seconds and like doing this and that so it just ended up taking way longer and I was like I'm just gonna go to bed and I will finish the chapters in the morning but I'm unlike the first little bit of chapter 2 so it is what it is we'll see if that is a good decision to use that as my bedside book or not it's gonna be interesting but I'm going to go and get dressed and fix all of this and then get a coffee and then come back and read some of this because I don't think I'm gonna stay in bed and read but if I do stay in bed and read then I'll read Harry Potter but wills my camera died while I was filming that but I kind of started to get ready but I'm going to like actually get ready and like put on a little bit of makeup and stuff and today other than reading I'm going to be a video planning because that's something that I've been meaning to do for like months now but I want to point out some stuff so then it's easier when I do actually go to film which is what I'm planning on doing for the rest of the week so I can just really seamlessly go through the videos and get done as many as possible as quickly as possible so today is just going to be kind of a little bit of a more relaxing day I work tomorrow morning so I'm gonna have to go to bed early and I'm still trying to decide if I'm gonna do daily vlogs or just a week-long vlog but oh no I guess you will know when you see this what my decision was but yeah I'm gonna get ready now that whole clip I felt like I was forgetting something and I just remembered what it was but I wanted to listen to the audiobook for the wedding date while I'm doing my makeup so I'm gonna do that so while I was doing my makeup I listened to the wedding date I resisted the urge to watch YouTube I've just been so lazy lately that I'm like while I'm doing my makeup and stuff let's just rewash YouTube videos that I've seen a million times so I'm garbage what else is new but I'm on chapter 5 so I am 50 pages about it's 47 pages but like I'm drowning up but into this and it good so far I like the fake dating trope that's coming up that's one of my favorite tropes but I got a package in the mail with book snake the icon on it so I wanted to unbox that for you look at how fancy this is it's so sparkly it also smells really good and I don't really know who why buy cool oh and it came with a little like tarot card sort of thing oh I like oh there's stuff underneath that's why it has a smell so the book is kingdom of souls by Rena Baron it's quite big actually but there's a bookmark in here I believe oh pretty book snake living its best life truly books snakes leather ring in to ball yard books there's also a voodoo doll which is kind of freaky so that creeps me out a little bit there's also an old book scented candle and then the final thing is a bath bomb so it is oat milk and honey but it's like malleable which is weird I think it may have just broken on transit but that will be fun to use and relax lift if you wanted to pause and read the synopsis it's about witch doctors and magic and stuff like that and it sounds really cool so thank you so much for the package I'm excited to read it hello everyone I'm outside obviously it's very sunny out right now but I just came out here to have some of my coffee it's really nice so usually during the summer and like July and stuff where I live it's so humid that you can't go outside it will just be you will like melt by it's actually kind of cool out today so there's a nice breeze going on so like I'm not dying of heat I'm not melting like the Wicked Witch of the West which is beautiful so I'm going to probably finish my coffee and I'm going to read a wicked Fox while I'm doing that because I haven't dealt into this yet or it'd be read-a-thon so I'm excited hello so it's been about I think only like an hour so since I updated last I've had lunch since then and I haven't read any of wicked before I was going to but then instead I ended up well what happened was I realized oh I have a video that's going up so then I had to like keep an eye on things make sure the video went up okay all that stuff and do like the like tweeting and stuff that goes with having a video go up so I've been listening to my audiobook and I'm actually host done it I don't have very much left at all so like this is how far I am I read this and then I have this left and I don't love it so far like I don't know I feel like I'm not really connected with the characters of like I would like to be a bike I do like the fact that it's dual perspective but I just don't think I'm enjoying it as much as I thought I would but I want to see how much I actually like how long I actually have left in it so I have an hour and 37 minutes left in my audiobook so I think I might honestly just take the next hour and a half and do some stuff while listening to my audiobook because I mean might as well finish my first read why not get ahead of the game and finish my first read on day one that sounds great to me so I think that's what I'm gonna do I might do my nails and then maybe plan out some videos but I'm listening to it I don't really know we'll see how it's gonna go but I'm definitely going to finish this up so I finished my o first book for the reading rush read-a-thon now I'm out of focus like why would you focus on the background when clearly I am I can't with myself sometime so I finished the wedding day and I also did my nails so that's fun but I gave this a 2 out of 5 stars I didn't care for any of the characters like the main character Alexa was good I liked her but drew I did not give a about like he was very flat he had nothing going on super one-dimensional and for me if I'm reading a romance like I need to care about the love interest you know I can't just be like oh like whatever all I feel like I knew about him was he was high and the other thing about him was like he was a pediatrician and that was cool other than that I was like I don't know what setting you apart from every other love interest or every other male character that I've read about so I was just kind of like men I did enjoy be social commentary that was going on I thought that was well done but like I thought that the wedding was going to be a bigger part of the story and it wasn't so I guess I just didn't really get what I feel like I signed up for so it was pretty mediocre for me but even like the steamy scenes they were like I didn't care for the writing so I do have her second book but I think I may actually return it I got it not too long ago so I can still return it so I think I'm gonna do that because I just don't think her writing style is really for me at which sucks but this was just a med book in my opinion but I haven't really read anything physically today other than Harry Potter earlier so I'm going to sit down and read wicked wicked Fox why did I say wicked Fox you're gonna read wicked Fox for a bit I think I'm going to set a timer until 7:00 and then read this and then dive into some Harry Potter and I don't know how Harry Potter is gonna go like I'm kind of stressed about that but I'm going to boxing tonight I'm gonna go at like eight o'clock and then I'm gonna come home and I'm gonna sleep because I have to work in the morning but I'm gonna do daily vlogs I've decided I'm gonna try that out because I already have a lot of footage for this vlog so I'm like you know what let's try something new something I've never done before and something that I will probably fail at but I won't know until I try so let's get a little bit further into wicked Fox now I'm definitely procrastinating on reading right now but I feel like there has been no cat footage in this vlog so montage time so now that you got the actual content that you 1000% signed up for not me my cats now we will read so I was on page 170 at the start of the read-a-thon and I'm on page 206 now for wicked Fox and I was facetiming with Zoe and Hannah earlier and we were talking about this Hannah has started as oh he hasn't yet but my main issue with this book is I feel confused like I'm far into it and I still don't really understand what the plotline is or like who the characters are so I'm having really bad luck so far with my reads for the reading rush it's not that I'm not liking it I just I don't really think that the writing style is meshing with me but I'm gonna keep reading it I do need to finish it so I will definitely finish it I just think it may take me a little bit longer to get through because like I'm not super into it and I find it very dense and hard to read because I'm confused so hopefully some things will be cleared up in the next little bit and I'll kind of understand what's happening and what I'm reading about like I feel like I know where the plot lines going but I'm also like is that big enough of a thing to carry the plot and carry the story forward so hopefully my opinion will change and I'll end up enjoying it but right now I'm like meth again so it's just very mess so far this read-a-thon so since I finished the audiobook that I was listening to I ended up picking another one and that is Aurora rising by amie kaufman and jay kristoff so this wasn't technically on my TBR for the reading rush I almost said booktubeathon again but I have been meaning to get to this and I'm going to be using it for the prompt of a book with purple on the cover even though I do have quite a few things that do fit that this camera driving me nuts with not focusing on me it's very rude but I figure it is since it was going well and I needed another audiobook I would just pick another book to read I don't know I'm being ambitious it's only day one I did do my thumbnail for this vlog though and like it seems like I'm being an overachiever but really I'm just procrastinating on reading because I suck but now I'm going to go to boxing and then gonna come home and go to bed this is when I wish that I could listen to audiobooks and drive at the same time because I have like I'm gonna be late but if you have like a 20 minute drive to the boxing gym but I just can't listen to audiobooks and drive at the same time I feel like I have to focus so much on driving so I'm gonna listen to some shitty music instead Andres Jim oh and definitely be late but I will get there so I'm just going to close out today's vlog really quickly it's 10 p.m. so I'm gonna try and go to bed I work out 5 in the morning but I'm feeling really awake so you'll see it tomorrow cuz that took going but if anything I'm gonna read some of Harry Potter before bed because that's what I should be doing but I also should be sleeping because I'm gonna be grumpy tomorrow if I don't so sleep is my priority but I finished uno book today so I finished my first book which I'm really excited about which was a wedding date by Jasmine Gilroy and I gave this 2 out of 5 stars and it completed the challenge of reading an author's first book so I'm doing really well happy with how things are going and we shall see tomorrow how they continue to go because I think it's just gonna get worse and go downhill from here but we shall see I'm sorry I could not not crack my knuckles at that moment but thank you guys for watching today's vlog I hope you guys are excited that I'm gonna be doing daily vlogs I hope they turn out but we'll see so I will see you tomorrow byehappy reading rush welcome to reading rush day one so it is presently 12:30 in the

and I also did my nails so that's fun but I gave this a 2 out of 5 stars I didn't care for any of the characters like the main character Alexa was good I liked her but drew I did not give a about like he was very flat he had nothing going on super one-dimensional and for me if I'm reading a romance like I need to care about the love interest you know I can't just be like oh like whatever all I feel like I knew about him was he was high and the other thing about him was like he was a pediatrician and that was cool other than that I was like I don't know what setting you apart from every other love interest or every other male character that I've read about so I was just kind of like men I did enjoy be social commentary that was going on I thought that was well done but like I thought that the wedding was going to be a bigger part of the story and it wasn't so I guess I just didn't really get what I feel like I signed up for so it was pretty mediocre for me but even like the steamy scenes they were like I didn't care for the writing so I do have her second book but I think I may actually return it I got it not too long ago so I can still return it so I think I'm gonna do that because I just don't think her writing style is really for me at which sucks but this was just a med book in my opinion but I haven't really read anything physically today other than Harry Potter earlier so I'm going to sit down and read wicked wicked Fox why did I say wicked Fox you're gonna read wicked Fox for a bit I think I'm going to set a timer until 7:00 and then read this and then dive into some Harry Potter and I don't know how Harry Potter is gonna go like I'm kind of stressed about that but I'm going to boxing tonight I'm gonna go at like eight o'clock and then I'm gonna come home and I'm gonna sleep because I have to work in the morning but I'm gonna do daily vlogs I've decided I'm gonna try that out because I already have a lot of footage for this vlog so I'm like you know what let's try something new something I've never done before and something that I will probably fail at but I won't know until I try so let's get a little bit further into wicked Fox now I'm definitely procrastinating on reading right now but I feel like there has been no cat footage in this vlog so montage time so now that you got the actual content that you 1000% signed up for not me my cats now we will read so I was on page 170 at the start of the read-a-thon and I'm on page 206 now for wicked Fox and I was facetiming with Zoe and Hannah earlier and we were talking about this Hannah has started as oh he hasn't yet but my main issue with this book is I feel confused like I'm far into it and I still don't really understand what the plotline is or like who the characters are so I'm having really bad luck so far with my reads for the reading rush it's not that I'm not liking it I just I don't really think that the writing style is meshing with me but I'm gonna keep reading it I do need to finish it so I will definitely finish it I just think it may take me a little bit longer to get through because like I'm not super into it and I find it very dense and hard to read because I'm confused so hopefully some things will be cleared up in the next little bit and I'll kind of understand what's happening and what I'm reading about like I feel like I know where the plot lines going but I'm also like is that big enough of a thing to carry the plot and carry the story forward so hopefully my opinion will change and I'll end up enjoying it but right now I'm like meth again so it's just very mess so far this read-a-thon so since I finished the audiobook that I was listening to I ended up picking another one and that is Aurora rising by amie kaufman and jay kristoff so this wasn't technically on my TBR for the reading rush I almost said booktubeathon again but I have been meaning to get to this and I'm going to be using it for the prompt of a book with purple on the cover even though I do have quite a few things that do fit that this camera driving me nuts with not focusing on me it's very rude but I figure it is since it was going well and I needed another audiobook I would just pick another book to read I don't know I'm being ambitious it's only day one I did do my thumbnail for this vlog though and like it seems like I'm being an overachiever but really I'm just procrastinating on reading because I suck but now I'm going to go to boxing and then gonna come home and go to bed this is when I wish that I could listen to audiobooks and drive at the same time because I have like I'm gonna be late but if you have like a 20 minute drive to the boxing gym but I just can't listen to audiobooks and drive at the same time I feel like I have to focus so much on driving so I'm gonna listen to some shitty music instead Andres Jim oh and definitely be late but I will get there so I'm just going to close out today's vlog really quickly it's 10 p.m. so I'm gonna try and go to bed I work out 5 in the morning but I'm feeling really awake so you'll see it tomorrow cuz that took going but if anything I'm gonna read some of Harry Potter before bed because that's what I should be doing but I also should be sleeping because I'm gonna be grumpy tomorrow if I don't so sleep is my priority but I finished uno book today so I finished my first book which I'm really excited about which was a wedding date by Jasmine Gilroy and I gave this 2 out of 5 stars and it completed the challenge of reading an author's first book so I'm doing really well happy with how things are going and we shall see tomorrow how they continue to go because I think it's just gonna get worse and go downhill from here but we shall see I'm sorry I could not not crack my knuckles at that moment but thank you guys for watching today's vlog I hope you guys are excited that I'm gonna be doing daily vlogs I hope they turn out but we'll see so I will see you tomorrow bye\n"
