 Hey guys it's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I have kind of like an update video for you guys and some little things like a little TBR a little bit what I've been reading things like that. I've been absent for like two weeks and I don't do that often and it's really weird when I do. Basically I was gonna get on a schedule where it was gonna be Wednesdays and Saturdays I uploaded and I was like okay two weeks like going back to school like two times a week that should be pretty good. Well so that really hasn't been working as you can see. I've only made two videos in September and I've only read one book in September. So I've been in a huge slump reading wise video making wise. I just haven't really felt like myself in a lot of ways to be honest. Yeah I'm trying to get everything back on track so that's what we're doing today. We're gonna address what the hell I've been up to. Basically it's mostly just haven't been feeling like myself, haven't been having motivation to film, to edit, to upload. I did hit 15,000 subscribers so thank you guys so so much. I appreciate that and it was also I turned 17 on the 13th so that was pretty cool as well. Basically it's mostly like mental health is why I've been absent and also like school and things like that. Like get it readjusting to my... I'm in grade 12 so it's my last year high school so I'm like readjusting into that and it's gonna be a time. But if you wouldn't wondering what like the one book that I read in September I'll talk about it more on like my wrap-up and stuff but that is A Large Expansive C. A Very Large Expansive C by Tara Moffi. I did quite like this one a lot actually but I'll talk more about that later. I mean in another video. And then the damn filming this contemporary thought starts but I don't know like I'm probably not gonna get stuff on the day of. I don't know we'll see what happens but I think I'm gonna be reading like a Silent Voice volume 2. I've been reading these they have to do with like bullying and things like that so I'm interested to see what volume 2 is gonna be like. I have this is kind of an epic love story a super diverse contemporary and there's a gay couple is the lead couple. The lead romance a gay couple I'm pretty sure. That comes out in this comes out next month so hopefully I'll get that done. And then I also have People Kill People by Ellen Hopkins. I'm super excited for this one. I love Ellen Hopkins work and I'm just really excited what she's gonna bring to the topic of like gun violence and things like that and I also think it's a super cool cover and I'm just really excited to read it. Those are like the three books that I'm hoping to get to this week. I have like a goal for myself to make sure I read all the stuff. There's contemporary thought challenges. There's all this sort of stuff. I'll link the host's video down below or some info on that in the description box if you guys want to join in on contemporary thought and even though you're probably participating it's kind of late. I feel super weird filming. I don't know. On here and say also you guys have been asking about the reading vlogs so I haven't really been vlogging obviously. With school I'm probably not gonna vlog just every week. I'm probably gonna vlog like every now and then so you'll get a vlog every little bit of I don't know when I'm doing a read-a-thon or when I feel like kind of vlogging but like weekly vlogs won't be a thing for a while again. But you guys really like those vlogs so I'm hoping to like make sure I try to vlog more but like I'm gonna do it when I feel like it or else it's just not gonna turn out well so yes. I've been just thinking about where I want to go with my channel. I've been kind of like I've gotten this like I started watching some videos that were like saying like the cliche booktube videos and to like kind of spread away from that. So like I've been trying to like think about other ideas and things like that so I want to do that but I also still want to do like the main booktube videos because it's still unique because it's still like my opinion my perspective like just like anybody else it's like their own opinion their own perspective so there is that difference in it but like I don't know book hauls I don't know if they're gonna be monthly probably not. TBRs who knows like it's all up in the air right now but let me know what you guys want to see down below but I'm hoping to bring some like different kind of videos on this channel. I'm still gonna be doing like witchy and like journal videos every like every lot every little while but from my book stuff I'm hoping to make it more like not the common booktube videos but I still want to do some of those common booktube videos because like I like doing them and you guys like watching them but yeah we'll see it's it's something I don't I don't know it's I'd really appreciate to hear what you guys would want to see more of on my channel what you think would be interesting to see things like that do let me know and talk to me in the comments I want to get back into responding to my comments and things like that so hopefully that all works out. You guys have it that was my quick little update to currently reading video TBR that kind of thing so thank you so much for watching I'll see you all super soon hopefully and yeah sorry I've been calling for so long I don't like myself for it either but what's she gonna do so yeah anyways if you want to subscribe you can down below or you can check out my Instagram Tumblr Pinterest Goodreads Twitter if you care but I'll see you guys all super soon with a new video bye
