I recently started college, so having things to do in the back of my mind and being stressed about them is SUCH a mood, along with the reading slump! I'm just getting back into reading, which is great because it's been my coping mechanism since I was very young

[mariafatma]

SJM books always pull me out of reading slumps. Last year I was in a huge slump and I randomly decided to reread the TOG series and by the time I was done reading Kingdom of Ash I was excited to read books again. The same thing happened this year too. I was not motivated to read at all but then I reread the ACOTAR series and once again I was back on track. These books are my happy place.

God's I feel you I started with assassin's blade last year and read Throne of glass too this year in January I read crown of midnight, heir of fire and Queen of shadows 😂😆!!!! And in Feb the whole acotar and in March crescent City . And one thing that I have noticed about sjm is that I just don't realise ANYTHING like even my own emotions become secondary . So I read Empire of storms this month and since reading QoS I've come across SOO much sjm hate, but the factor still remains that whenever I am in a off modd for d past 6 months I would just pick up QoS or acomaf and I'd be back on track Its so good to see your feelings towards it .
Btw I watched all your Booktalks too after every book and you're SO damn relatable 😆😂

The first 30 seconds of this video has been me the whole week! 😂

[nicholleurcuyo]

I love your videos so much, I really enjoy watching them 😁 For me August was a difficult reading month because I was in a slump, I don't know why I didn't have energy to read 🙈

[KeeleyJo]

I’ve started rereading Throne of Glass so I can finally read the last two! The first book is actually my favorite.

[melannymarin]

I really love these random videos ;) and... Run BTS = Free therapy !!

I think we're about the same age, so I definitely feel you on the existential crisis. I think it's just part of being in your early-mid 20s, I swear I have an existential crisis once a quarter or so

[Sharifa]

I can relate to your intro 😂 I set all these wonderful intentions for the month like exercising and reducing sugar intake, I did absolutely none of it🤣

Your rant at the beginning… RELATABLE.

[mootopia]

I've felt exactly what you're describing at the beginning of the video! I used to become so overwhelmed with stress and anxiety over the things I thought I "should" and "need" to be doing, that I just wouldn't do any of them at all. UNTIL, I learned about "should" statements and how they cause unnecessary stress on your mind. Now when I know there's something I really wanna get done it's "it might be a good idea to do this" or "I really wanna do this first" and it makes the task way less daunting. Maybe that could be of some help to someone?

[cutiee]

Ash you are not alone going through this. I am literally in the exact same boat and its not ideal

[areyoustillreading]

What editions of throne of glass are those?

I didn't realize you were writing a book. That is exciting. I will keep it on my radar. 😊

[charityyoder]

Gosh I feel this on a level.
School started back up and I don't really bring school stuff to work so I ended up working overtime while trying to squeeze in homework around my work schedule. I left one night and mentioned homework. The people I had been working with had no clue. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[aveldlay]

I guess Sarah J. Maas is your remedy now :D But that's ok, everyone has its own cosy books. And for them there is always the right time ;)
Greetings from Poland, anyway (and sorry for my english, I 'm still learning and sometimes make very, very stupid mistakes xD )

[Parishi_]

Hey! As a student, I have like a lot of schoolwork too and what you're feeling is definitely relatable! 😂

[ashreads]

the existential crisis is relatable lol

[JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I love that cover of throne of glass 😤

[danamonsees-cns]

Have also been in a weird reading slump in August! Semi-coming out of it but everything just feels weird haha. This video was my energy exactly

Sorry about your crisis 😅 but where did you get your shirt??? I love it!
