I LOVE thé idea of you doing a non-project video of just one book you are in the mood for and how it went/how you liked it! You deserve some lighter commitment projects (and honestly that’s more interesting to me that 1000 mediocre books in a specific series 😅)

I love the idea of a monthly (whenever) vlog where you go to the library pick a book and read it and review. I think if you already aim for a larger year-long video project it puts too much pressure on you :( just post a vlog when you do pick a book at the library, and maybe at the end of the year if you feel like it do an overall review video of the idea?

Using the library regularly last year drastically improved my reading life. I think it’s because I grab things that look captivating to me at that moment in time and I’m not afraid to take risks. I’m choosing books that perfectly fit my current mood and need, even it’s a silly one. Compare that to my owned TBR (which I’d been trying to prioritize in previous years) where I will sometimes force myself to tackle a book out of a sense of obligation (it’s been sitting there too long) or because it was a beautiful edition or something someone else gifted me/recommended. And then it starts to feel like a chore to get through. I realized this when my overall ratings went through the roof last year…a 4.5 average rather than my usual 3 average. Libraries for the win!

A digital 5-7 quart crockpot will be your friend, Gav. Toss fresh ingredients in, in the morning. Go low and slow and by six you'll have a home-cooked dinner. To say nothing of yummy leftovers... Plus, a seriously easy cleanup.

This was super cozy! also, I am from Uruguay and the consensus seems to be here: on December 8th you put on the Christmas decorations, and on January 8th you take them off (we have the Three Kings' Day, hence why it lasts until after the New Year.

I am glad you are now prioritizing your mental health. I did that last year and it was the best thing for me. I even started eating healthier because of it.

i love the idea of the library monthly pick! i think you should raise the stakes even more by only picking something you've never heard of, chosen purely based on "oh this looks super interesting". libraries have so many backlog hidden treasures, and it can make the choosing even more mood-driven (which aligns with "reading what i want")

Loved this. I think it's a great idea to build time for low-pressure vlogs like this into your content planning to hopefully force yourself to take a breather. If you were able to do a similar video around the end of the month and included that preliminary planning for the next month you could even call it a monthly reset, which people are very into these days. It wouldn't have to be an uber "productive" cleaning reset, but more of a mental reset. Though the main priority should not be to build it into another stressful obligation, but to save space for yourself to take it easy. ❤❤❤

I put on some Taylor Swift or an audiobook & cook quick/easy meals and get the bonus of leftovers for some reliciousness the next day. 😉 We typically take down Christmas decor the weekend of New Years. 🎄 Planning is my love language! 😂 Lol...kitties! 🐾 Ty for pointing out With Ali!

I know you painted your book edges in the past woth acrylic paint, but maybe you could do a video where you do a watercolor edge, where you paint a scene or something with watercolors on the edge? Or revisit book tags and twist them on their head for the short quick videos.
