"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: eneveryone it's haley and today i'm going to be doing my official bookmas 2020 announcement so you guys probably know by now that bookmas is happening because i've been talking about it a lot on my instagram but also in videos in general but bookmas is off to a rocky start so if you guys just want to skip to me talking about what bookmas actually is and what the topics are going to be i'll have a timestamp in the description down below so you can skip over this but basically yesterday was my first day of officially filming for bookmas i do 31 videos this year at least i'm doing 31 videos so that's obviously a lot of work it takes a lot of time and december is kind of closer than i like realized it was to be honest i feel like i was really prepared i started preparing in september but now i'm like wow i have like a week and a half to go before i need to be ready for this so i had my first filming day and i filmed four videos and all four of them there's no audio because i have tried i tried so hard to prepare for anything that might happen any like technological difficulty because that's the last thing that i need and i have had so many of those this year like i feel like it seems like i don't know what i'm doing but i try so hard to have a million fail safes in place but still like things just keep happening so my microphone stopped working and i realized that upon importing those four videos and realized that it was also true of the two videos that i had filmed the day before which was my announcement video and a book haul so and the bad thing about the book haul was it was due to the publisher the next or the sponsor rather the next day so that's today i just filmed that just edited it edited it just sent it off but i slept three four hours because i was trying to manage that so i had a little mini breakdown on instagram but i'm sorry for showing you guys all that i feel like for the most part i'm like oh it's fine and i wouldn't normally show you guys that but the best part about this is for some reason i was like oh i'll do like a little follow me around filming day on instagram so i did that and like i was not expecting it to have the climax that it did let me tell you like oh my goodness i thought it was just going to be like a boring little this is what a bookmas filming day might look like but no there was some excitement in there all right so yeah basically i'm trying to make up for those four videos i know it doesn't seem like a lot probably i mean i lost six total but i know it probably doesn't seem like that much to before behind but when i have 31 to do total they get eaten up very quickly because it's one video per day so i really have to try and be on top of things and be productive with it so it really does like throw a wrench in my plans but we are back we are re-filming everything and yeah it's it's gonna be great i will say i was supposed to do a november wrap-up right before bookmas actually starts i'm not sure if i will actually be able to do that i'm still going to try to get it filmed and planned but i don't know if i will be able to get that out before bookmas so i might have to do that in january which i won't call it a november wrap-up dental but anyways let's get into the bookmas announcement that's enough of me whining i'm sorry for complaining i know there's a pandemic going on it's just like life just keeps on being like here's a million things to deal with i also just wanted to really really quickly because this video for some reason is ages long for an announcement video but i talked about this on instagram but i just wanted to say thank you guys so so so so so so much for all of the support so many of you guys messaged me and commented and i couldn't respond to all of it but i read every single one and they honestly meant the world to me like it kept me going man because i'll tell you like it was hard at times so thank you very very very much for that i am super super super excited that bookmas is here i can't believe it's here already it's charlie's first bookmas so he is obviously super excited side note if you guys remember if you've been here for a long time when a couple years ago i got this wiener dog stuffed animal and i was like one day i'll have a real one look it that day is here how lovely i am going to try and take a picture of him with but if this is your first time but it but if this is your first book miss bookmas is an annual video-a-thon that i do basically like vlogmas but i in the past last year i did the 21 days of bookmas i've done the 12 days of bookmas and i think only once before i've done a video every single day of december hello editing haley popping in here because i was thinking about it and i don't think i've actually ever done 31 videos before last or not last year but the year before i did 24 videos like i did it all leading up to christmas and then the other year i think point is i think either the closest i've gotten is i skipped christmas day but i for some reason think that year i did 12 days before script skipped christmas day and then did until the 31st so i don't think i've actually ever done the entire month before so no wonder we're out here struggling i've never done the same topics for some reason i just switch it up every year and this year is no different i do have a lot of different topics and i actually asked you guys for a lot of input for those topics and i'm really happy with what we've come out with there are a lot of new ideas that i think are so much fun and i'm really looking forward to getting to but yeah so for the month of december i will have a new video going up every single day from december 1st to december 31st and basically the video topics there are some christmasy ones in there but for the most part it's like a giant end of the year wrap up as well as a looking forward to 2021 and next year obviously that's 20 21 that was redundant but i feel like i kind of have fewer christmasy videos this year than usual i do still have a lot but i think in some years i've done a lot of those but i find that the end of the year wrap up is a little bit more helpful and interesting to you guys so i do have some topics that i used to do in years past that i've kind of switched out for other ones experimenting a little bit seeing how you guys are gonna like it if you have wanted to watch the past bookmas videos i do have a bookmas master playlist that i will link down below for you guys as well as i will make a bookmast 2020 playlist so you guys can check that out but without further ado let's just get into the topics for bookmas 2020. so bookmas day one i'm going to be talking about the books that i want to read in december this includes books that i'm going to be reading for reading vlogs because i'm also incorporating reading vlogs into book myths this year but they'll be themed so i will talk about that as i go through the list of days but i have those books and then i also have some random ones and definitely some christmassy reads thrown in there obviously bookmas day two is a book for everyone on your list so the concept for this one is similar to the i pick what my subscribers read next video that i did this past year and what was the other one i think i just called it subscriber recommendations but basically on instagram i asked you guys for a prompt and then i'm recommending a book based on that so this time it's with the intention of it's a book that you want to gift to someone it's someone you're trying to buy for or it's something that you want to include on your wish list i'm really excited about this one i filmed it yesterday and it was fun but we'll film it again and it'll be just as fun bookmastery is christmas book recommendations so i have done this in the past but i do have some new additions and some old favorites that i'm going to be talking about so just some holiday and winter and festive reads bookmas day four is books that i think you should put on your wish list so i wasn't really sure how i was going to go about this for a while i thought about doing just 20 20 releases that i thought were worth the read or doing it just general books but what i decided to do is a topic so like if you're a fantasy lover you should put these or if you love historical fiction so you'll kind of know when i actually do that video but i think it's going to be an interesting way to do that and i'm i'm looking forward to that one bookmaster five is one that one of you guys actually suggested and i thought it was a great idea super excited about it so it is the books that were mentioned on my tbr the most this year so basically i went back and watched all of my tbr videos from this past year every month again and i wrote down which books were mentioned the most so definitely a lot of repeats but interestingly some that i thought i had mentioned a lot i didn't actually mention that much and bookmas day six is of course my top 10 of 2020 so counting down to my absolute favorite book of the year i love doing this one every year and then bookmas day seven is going to be the first reading vlog so this kind of pairs with that tbr re-watch video that i'll be doing on bookmas day five because i'm going to be reading two of the books that i mentioned on my tbr the most this year book miss day eight kind of a little change in tone but it's going to be the worst books of 2020 so the books that i really didn't like that much i feel like i don't like doing that many negative videos for bookmas i like to keep it positive but i do kind of like doing this one it is interesting bookmasting is another one i wasn't really sure how i was going to do it but it is the new releases that i didn't get the chance to get to so i thought about doing it as every single new release that i didn't get the chance to get to but instead i ended up doing it as just like the top ones that i wish i was able to read the reason why i thought about doing it the other way was because i ran into a problem last year where i found that my 2020 tbr video was pretty much the same as those new releases but this year i planned them both out and i don't have that many repeats because it's really hard to not repeat books a lot over the course of bookmas because i have such a small handful of books i'm choosing from but i have been making an effort to reduce the repeats because it does annoy me like i understand it's annoying but it is kind of hard bookmas day 10 is another idea that came from you guys which is a best and a worst book for each month there was also the idea to do a best and a worst for each genre but i think that one would be kind of repetitive but i think each month is really interesting because i could have read like a bunch of books i loved in one month or a bunch of books that i didn't like in one month so it makes me really think bookmas day 11 is the most hyped books of 2020 so the books that you heard about the most in past years i've made my own list and asked you guys for any additions that you thought belonged there but this year i actually decided to entirely leave it up to you and ask what books you heard about the most and i thought that was an interesting way to do it because i always say that in the beginning of that video like what i think is really hyped up might just be where i'm hanging out and who i talk to but what you think is hyped up might be very different but it is interesting bookmas day 12 is my surprises and disappointments of 2020 so any books that i thought i was going to love and didn't end up so they ended up disappointing me or books that i didn't think i would love as much as i did so they were nice surprises bookmas day 13 is my christmas book wish list so these are all the books that i am asking for for christmas although i don't really ask for books for christmas because i just get them myself but if i did these are the books that would be on the list then bookmas day 14 is another reading vlog so i might actually switch this one up and do it as a christmas reading vlog i'm not sure because i feel like i don't know when i'm really since i'm doing reading vlogs as a part of bookmas i don't really know when i'm going to actually be able to get the chance to read the christmas books that i have here so i might switch it out but the actual idea that i have like written down for it is to read one of my most anticipated releases for the year in that reading vlog but i also have a reading vlog the next week obviously which i was going to read the goodreads choice award winners or nominees and finalists that i still had on my tbr but i might scrap that one in favor of doing the christmas reading blog i don't know we'll see bookmas day 15 is about all the book 2 movie or tv show adaptations and then bookmas day 16 is about the 2021 book 2 movie or tv show adaptations that are upcoming bookmas day 17 is about underrated 2020 reads so i the way that i'm going to do this one is instead of doing just underrated ones that i have read which i will include some of those i also wanted to include some that i hadn't heard of until they were already out because 2020 i feel like it has been such a struggle for everyone but for authors it's been like shouting into a void to get people to hear about your book because there is so much else that has been going on so i wanted to help out those authors that i really hadn't heard of their books but i think that they sound really good so i hope you guys will like that bookmas day 18 i will be showing you guys all of the books that i read in 2020 not sure if i will include my readings in this video or not will see and on bookmas day 19 i will be taking all of those 2020 reads and i'm going to be tier ranking them so tier ranking is a big trend that into this year and i did a couple of videos on it and i thought it would be really fun to take all the books that i read in 2020 and tear break them because i did like it's a fun video to do so i get weather popular bookmas day 20 is a new one that i can't believe i've never thought of before but it is an end of the year q a so i just asked you guys for some end of the year questions just general life and book stuff and i'm excited for that because you guys had some good questions then bookmas day 21 like i said is that reading vlog that was supposed to be goodreads choice board but maybe for that one i'll do the christmas reads we'll see but that one i'm not sure because on bookmas day 22 i'm supposed to be doing a 24-hour christmas read-a-thon so i think maybe instead of doing that 24-hour read-a-thon i might do just a reading vlog like a week-long one because that might be a little bit easier for me so then instead of the read-a-thon i would maybe pick another christmas themed video like a lot of you guys had wanted me to do a christmas and food video but it would be way like not really as much work wait it would be way too much work for what it's worth so that's why i ended up scrapping that one and i don't really have any other like christmasy ideas per se so i also had the idea to do a video about 2019 releases that i still haven't gotten to so maybe i'll do that we'll see nothing's really concrete with bookmas bookmas day 23 is if you liked this christmas movie then you would like this book or i might do it as if you liked this book then you might like this christmas movie not sure yet bookmas day 24 i'm bringing back an oldie but a goodie which is the christmas song book tag that i created like the first year of my channel so six years ago now because this is the sixth annual bookmas maybe it was seven i don't know but a long time ago bookmas day 25 is a christmas book haul i always like doing a book haul on christmas day bookmas day 26 is a new one that you guys seemed interested in i'm kind of hesitant about doing it just because it's going to be every single book that i've acquired this year so whether it was sent to me by a publisher or i purchased it and i know it's going to be a lot of books and i don't want it to seem like i'm bragging because like there is a global pandemic going on i know a lot of people have lost their jobs and i don't want to see like oh i can buy all of these books so i don't know if that one's going to be in poor taste if you think i should skip that one then please do let me know but like i don't know i'm very torn on it because i think it would be fun and interesting but at the same time i don't want it to seem like i'm like rubbing anything in anyone's faces bookmas day 27 i'm going to be taking all of my 2020 reads again and i'm going to be tier ranking them by their cover i thought about doing this with just 20 20 releases but i think that that might be a little bit too complicated so it felt like better to just do it with 20 20 reads book missed day 28 i'm going to be doing my five star predictions for 2021 so this one i'm not sure if i'm going to do just general books that i have or if i'll do that for 20 to 1 release 2021 releases we'll see and then bookmas day 29 i'm going to be talking about my most anticipated books that are coming out in 2021 and bookmas day 30 i'm going to be talking about every single book that i've pre-ordered which is a lot honestly like it really is because i get a coupon so then i pre-order everything all at once and that way i get the discount but not all like it doesn't the money doesn't come out until they ship so i just i end up saving some money that way and finally bookmas day 31 i'm going to be talking about my 2021 reading resolutions life resolutions mostly just reading and my tbr for 2021. those are all the topics that i have for bookmas now obviously some of them i'm not too sure about i'm still figuring it out but that's why i don't really do it as a formal video-a-thon because i like to have the chance to change things if i really need to but if you would like to participate in bookmas whether you want to do it on your blog whether you want to film the videos or you want to do it on instagram you are absolutely welcome to i would love if you did just please tag me so i can watch it and also credit me obviously because i created it but like that sounds weird to say but also there have been people in the past who just do it and are just like yes this is something i made which it isn't but i mean whatever it's not a huge deal but anyways i hope you guys are as excited for bookmas as i am this year is going to be really different like not bookmas but christmas in general like usually christmas is my favorite time of year because my family is around and it's like the one time my sisters are home but obviously that's not going to be happening this year so it will actually be a year as of this year since i've seen my sister who lives out in california so that sucks but because this year has been so crappy and like i haven't really been doing 100 great i thought about not doing it but i just think like a little bit of normalcy and a distraction will be really good and i hope that it will help you guys to get into the christmas spirit if you are also going to be struggling with the holidays this year because i know it's going to be a really difficult year all around but i hope you guys are excited for bookmas and i will see you on i mean i'll see you in between then but i will for sure see you december 1st for bookmas day one so thank you guys so much for watching and i will see you then bye youeveryone it's haley and today i'm going to be doing my official bookmas 2020 announcement so you guys probably know by now that bookmas is happening because i've been talking about it a lot on my instagram but also in videos in general but bookmas is off to a rocky start so if you guys just want to skip to me

this one every year and then bookmas day seven is going to be the first reading vlog so this kind of pairs with that tbr re-watch video that i'll be doing on bookmas day five because i'm going to be reading two of the books that i mentioned on my tbr the most this year book miss day eight kind of a little change in tone but it's going to be the worst books of 2020 so the books that i really didn't like that much i feel like i don't like doing that many negative videos for bookmas i like to keep it positive but i do kind of like doing this one it is interesting bookmasting is another one i wasn't really sure how i was going to do it but it is the new releases that i didn't get the chance to get to so i thought about doing it as every single new release that i didn't get the chance to get to but instead i ended up doing it as just like the top ones that i wish i was able to read the reason why i thought about doing it the other way was because i ran into a problem last year where i found that my 2020 tbr video was pretty much the same as those new releases but this year i planned them both out and i don't have that many repeats because it's really hard to not repeat books a lot over the course of bookmas because i have such a small handful of books i'm choosing from but i have been making an effort to reduce the repeats because it does annoy me like i understand it's annoying but it is kind of hard bookmas day 10 is another idea that came from you guys which is a best and a worst book for each month there was also the idea to do a best and a worst for each genre but i think that one would be kind of repetitive but i think each month is really interesting because i could have read like a bunch of books i loved in one month or a bunch of books that i didn't like in one month so it makes me really think bookmas day 11 is the most hyped books of 2020 so the books that you heard about the most in past years i've made my own list and asked you guys for any additions that you thought belonged there but this year i actually decided to entirely leave it up to you and ask what books you heard about the most and i thought that was an interesting way to do it because i always say that in the beginning of that video like what i think is really hyped up might just be where i'm hanging out and who i talk to but what you think is hyped up might be very different but it is interesting bookmas day 12 is my surprises and disappointments of 2020 so any books that i thought i was going to love and didn't end up so they ended up disappointing me or books that i didn't think i would love as much as i did so they were nice surprises bookmas day 13 is my christmas book wish list so these are all the books that i am asking for for christmas although i don't really ask for books for christmas because i just get them myself but if i did these are the books that would be on the list then bookmas day 14 is another reading vlog so i might actually switch this one up and do it as a christmas reading vlog i'm not sure because i feel like i don't know when i'm really since i'm doing reading vlogs as a part of bookmas i don't really know when i'm going to actually be able to get the chance to read the christmas books that i have here so i might switch it out but the actual idea that i have like written down for it is to read one of my most anticipated releases for the year in that reading vlog but i also have a reading vlog the next week obviously which i was going to read the goodreads choice award winners or nominees and finalists that i still had on my tbr but i might scrap that one in favor of doing the christmas reading blog i don't know we'll see bookmas day 15 is about all the book 2 movie or tv show adaptations and then bookmas day 16 is about the 2021 book 2 movie or tv show adaptations that are upcoming bookmas day 17 is about underrated 2020 reads so i the way that i'm going to do this one is instead of doing just underrated ones that i have read which i will include some of those i also wanted to include some that i hadn't heard of until they were already out because 2020 i feel like it has been such a struggle for everyone but for authors it's been like shouting into a void to get people to hear about your book because there is so much else that has been going on so i wanted to help out those authors that i really hadn't heard of their books but i think that they sound really good so i hope you guys will like that bookmas day 18 i will be showing you guys all of the books that i read in 2020 not sure if i will include my readings in this video or not will see and on bookmas day 19 i will be taking all of those 2020 reads and i'm going to be tier ranking them so tier ranking is a big trend that into this year and i did a couple of videos on it and i thought it would be really fun to take all the books that i read in 2020 and tear break them because i did like it's a fun video to do so i get weather popular bookmas day 20 is a new one that i can't believe i've never thought of before but it is an end of the year q a so i just asked you guys for some end of the year questions just general life and book stuff and i'm excited for that because you guys had some good questions then bookmas day 21 like i said is that reading vlog that was supposed to be goodreads choice board but maybe for that one i'll do the christmas reads we'll see but that one i'm not sure because on bookmas day 22 i'm supposed to be doing a 24-hour christmas read-a-thon so i think maybe instead of doing that 24-hour read-a-thon i might do just a reading vlog like a week-long one because that might be a little bit easier for me so then instead of the read-a-thon i would maybe pick another christmas themed video like a lot of you guys had wanted me to do a christmas and food video but it would be way like not really as much work wait it would be way too much work for what it's worth so that's why i ended up scrapping that one and i don't really have any other like christmasy ideas per se so i also had the idea to do a video about 2019 releases that i still haven't gotten to so maybe i'll do that we'll see nothing's really concrete with bookmas bookmas day 23 is if you liked this christmas movie then you would like this book or i might do it as if you liked this book then you might like this christmas movie not sure yet bookmas day 24 i'm bringing back an oldie but a goodie which is the christmas song book tag that i created like the first year of my channel so six years ago now because this is the sixth annual bookmas maybe it was seven i don't know but a long time ago bookmas day 25 is a christmas book haul i always like doing a book haul on christmas day bookmas day 26 is a new one that you guys seemed interested in i'm kind of hesitant about doing it just because it's going to be every single book that i've acquired this year so whether it was sent to me by a publisher or i purchased it and i know it's going to be a lot of books and i don't want it to seem like i'm bragging because like there is a global pandemic going on i know a lot of people have lost their jobs and i don't want to see like oh i can buy all of these books so i don't know if that one's going to be in poor taste if you think i should skip that one then please do let me know but like i don't know i'm very torn on it because i think it would be fun and interesting but at the same time i don't want it to seem like i'm like rubbing anything in anyone's faces bookmas day 27 i'm going to be taking all of my 2020 reads again and i'm going to be tier ranking them by their cover i thought about doing this with just 20 20 releases but i think that that might be a little bit too complicated so it felt like better to just do it with 20 20 reads book missed day 28 i'm going to be doing my five star predictions for 2021 so this one i'm not sure if i'm going to do just general books that i have or if i'll do that for 20 to 1 release 2021 releases we'll see and then bookmas day 29 i'm going to be talking about my most anticipated books that are coming out in 2021 and bookmas day 30 i'm going to be talking about every single book that i've pre-ordered which is a lot honestly like it really is because i get a coupon so then i pre-order everything all at once and that way i get the discount but not all like it doesn't the money doesn't come out until they ship so i just i end up saving some money that way and finally bookmas day 31 i'm going to be talking about my 2021 reading resolutions life resolutions mostly just reading and my tbr for 2021. those are all the topics that i have for bookmas now obviously some of them i'm not too sure about i'm still figuring it out but that's why i don't really do it as a formal video-a-thon because i like to have the chance to change things if i really need to but if you would like to participate in bookmas whether you want to do it on your blog whether you want to film the videos or you want to do it on instagram you are absolutely welcome to i would love if you did just please tag me so i can watch it and also credit me obviously because i created it but like that sounds weird to say but also there have been people in the past who just do it and are just like yes this is something i made which it isn't but i mean whatever it's not a huge deal but anyways i hope you guys are as excited for bookmas as i am this year is going to be really different like not bookmas but christmas in general like usually christmas is my favorite time of year because my family is around and it's like the one time my sisters are home but obviously that's not going to be happening this year so it will actually be a year as of this year since i've seen my sister who lives out in california so that sucks but because this year has been so crappy and like i haven't really been doing 100 great i thought about not doing it but i just think like a little bit of normalcy and a distraction will be really good and i hope that it will help you guys to get into the christmas spirit if you are also going to be struggling with the holidays this year because i know it's going to be a really difficult year all around but i hope you guys are excited for bookmas and i will see you on i mean i'll see you in between then but i will for sure see you december 1st for bookmas day one so thank you guys so much for watching and i will see you then bye you\n"
