Brittany here's my advice: if you want to take a break, take it. take your time because then there's gonna come a point where you're not gonna enjoy it anymore and your break will be much longer. we literally support you and we will be so comprehensive if you need a break or not. enjoy yourself & what you do. don't feel pressure, if you're not feeling like doing something, just don't do it. do other things and you'll eventually come back if you feel like it. maybe you just need to push back from booktube to settle yourself again and sort things out and thats okay. I really hope that im explaining myself but what I mean is, girl, don't feel pressure for doing something you dont want to. we will understand any choice you make. haters can leave right where they came from. take your time. being a booktuber must be a great responsability but enjoy yourself & be happy :) ps. you're of my fave book tubers and girly we stan you. have a nice day and be safe :)

Absolutely. I was going to say the same thing. And personally, taking a break from things (when possible) always helps me. I totally get that having a channel can make someone feel like they need to read all the time and create a lot of content, but then it also feels like a chore and takes the fun out of it. And it isn't fair. Also, there are still a lot of videos that can be done without reading a lot at the moment. Favourites, tier lists, recommendations, ...anything. As much as most of us love reading vlogs and wrap-ups, we love it more when the people we watch feel happy creating the content for us =) There are enough reasons to be stressed at the moment. We should all take it easy.

as someone who had a ROUGH booktube/reading slump moment in march and april, i 100000% suggest taking a break. don’t set dates for it, just take it, and you’ll know when it feels right to come back. it seems like a bad idea, or scary before you do it, but the amount of creativity and excitement for reading and filming that comes back naturally when you aren’t trying to make it work or work through a slump is shocking. i’m seriously a huge break advocate now because it helped me so much during that time. also, this is low key prime time to do it because we’re about to get into spooky season/holidays and i swear there’s always so many videos ideas that stem from that. i definitely think you should!!

There's absolutely no pressure on you to be constantly reading. We're all readers at heart and that doesn't change just because we aren't doing so constantly 💕 As Jem Carstairs once said (though this is a bit edited) "Whatever you are (whether you are constantly reading or not) all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a (reader) you are a (reader)"✨

I just want to let you know that I don’t just watch you because you read books. I just love you as a person and find you entertaining to watch. I think it would be a good idea for you to step away from “bookish” videos if you’re feeling uninspired. You could literally make videos about your everyday life and I would watch it. I think most of us here would agree. So just so what makes you happy girl, we will all support you regardless! 💕

The past few months have been so unsettling it's affected a lot of people's reading so you're not alone in feeling slumpy. It's difficult not to ba hard on ourselves and get annoyed when we fall into reading slumps but we shouldn't - it is just a part of being a reader. Sometimes we fly through books. Sometimes finding the motivation to read is hard! However, it doesn't make us any less of a reader. Take care ❤

You do you girl. I don't know if I'm right, but you already seem so stressed. I think it is fine to take a break, booktuber or not. Even if in the middle in the Reading Rush you feel like you need a break. Take it, as long as you need to. Take a breath and do what feels good for you.

I think you should definitely let yourself take a break if that's what you feel like you need to do! Your viewers who want the best for you will understand that you need time to take a step back and let your creativity and passion for reading to refuel. As a reader it is so common to go through up and down reading moods where you're really excited to read and other times where you're just not in the mood. No matter if you're a booktuber or not you should never feel like you need to force yourself to read, you never want it to feel like a chore and not taking a break now could mean you severely burn out later on which is definitely not ideal. Always here to support whatever you decide to do!! xx

I'd suggest: All Boys Aren't Blue by George Johnson, Warriors Don't Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals, Becoming by Michelle Obama, We're Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union (she talks about racism, colorism, and her rape and a lot of it was really eye opening), White Rage, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria by Beverley Daniel Tatum, Stamped from the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi, Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, When They Call You a Terrorist by Patrisse Khan-Cullors, Hood Feminism, Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race. I listen to a lot of nonfiction on audio if I can I use Libby/Overdrive I'm not doing the reading rush, I have too much going on right now but it's great that you can combined challenges and stuff.

The audiobook for Becoming is narrated by Michelle Obama herself and is absolutely phenomenal. I recommend reading along in the physical book while listening to the audiobook, which is what I did, because there are a couple of pictures in the book and it made the reading experience even better.
