A Small Update and My April 2025 Reading Plan! (Rereading The Will of the Many and More)

Hi everyone! It has been a while. Or it feels like it. But today's video is about my April 2025 reading plan. I have listed 5 books in my TBR pile this month! But as usual, I'm unsure which one or how many I'll get to read. Let me know what you think of these books and what's on your reading schedule next month!

Absolutely take care of yourself and slow down and enjoy some of the amazing things you have accomplished these past 4 years. We will be here for you.

[astevenswrites]

Good for you recognizing the necessity to take care of yourself. Totally acceptable to pull back as needed.

Petrik, your content is always great! Take all the breaks you need. Your health and quality of life is way more important than anything else. 😃 Thanks for the update!

100% take a break if you feel you need it. On the topic of a "fantasy slump", i'd say take a dive into just general fiction/literary fiction apart from sci-fi/fantasy. It always helped me get out of a slump. There are some amazing books out there! Maybe less fighting and fantasy elements, but still great books! <3

Welcome back. You and your channel are an enjoyable presence on YouTube. Your love for the genre always comes through. Glad you're coming out of your fantasy slump. :)

Welcome back! Very much enjoy your reviews, but also glad to hear that you are taking care of yourself. We need you long-term, so pace yourself! I loved the Murderbot Diaries, and I hope you will too!

[puzzlingread]

Definitely take care of yourself, Petrik. You deserve to rest whenever you need or want to. 😊💙

Since November is so stacked (Empire of the Dawn, Shadows Upon Time, etc) I sure do hope James gets friendly with handing out the ARCs for SotF.

[Biskit_Rising]

I’m so glad you’re prioritizing your health! We will still be here enjoying your videos and happy that you’re taking care of yourself after your breaks ❤

[penelopeshah]

I'm happy you're taking a break from posting! You should definitely do it more often. We will be right here whenever you're back. Please don't get burnt out. But I totally understand because that's also how I feel at work right now. This year is officially the year of "exhaustion". Hang in there! Fighting!

[amy_harboredinpages]

Random planned breaks are a good thing, even from the things we love!

[Muz.Writes]

Take care Petrik! The books will always be there when you're ready :) You're doing great!

[cipriansirbu]

No apologies needed, a break is something normal and I fully support you, take however long you need. I hope your fantasy burnout is over, The Will of the Many will help help with that, I'm sure. Already finished two short sci-fi books (War of the Worlds and The Gods Themselves) and now I'm at 30% into Into the Narrowdark and I love it. The only book I have left after that is Wizard and Glass, if I have time, I'll also read Blood over Bright Haven, couldn't get to it last month. Happy readings.

You're awesome Petrik ! Love your content.

Take care of ur health.😊

[joshuawalkerauthor]

Right there with you, Petrik. I’m in the middle of a burnout too, and it sucks but I’m learning less time on social media and more time doing other things is helping me get my mojo back faster than ever. Stay well friend!

Taking breaks is important!
I FINALLY started with Sun Eater. I am about 2/3 through Empire of Silence and while I am not completely blown away yet, I enjoy it and will definitely read on. Next on my list will be A Drop of Corruption. It should be here by the end of the week and I am so excited to read this! I loved The Tainted Cup.
And I should really plan a reread of Will of the Many sometime this year. Usually I do not re-read when the next book of a series comes out but with this one there was so much happening that will probably be very important.

[esmayrosalyne]

You can never go wrong with a good re-read!! And I hope you never feel sorry for taking a step back, we will be here when you are ready! I hope you enjoy all your upcoming reads, happy reading ;))

[treebranch]

I think it’s good to take a bit of a break now and then. Especially after reading so much. You can sit back and ponder what you just absorbed and think about the stories. Plus I’m sure you have other interests and spending time with family can refresh one’s mind as well.

[EmbraceTehMartian]

take your time buddy, we'll all be here whenever you post videos, thank you for the consistent uploading but your own self care definitely takes priority. looking forward to how you feel about the radiant king, seems like a good one

[calumlott]

So glad you recognised the burnout and am looking after yourself dude! I need to get to Endymion at some point as well.
