how I read 16 books a month! 

You cannot beat me. I can read a book in a year.

why are people complaining about how she read 16 books in a month, when people out here can watch 15 episodes of GoT in a day! lol jeez

Me: How i read half a book in a month :')

Summary of tips: 1) Bring your book everywhere with you and look at it just like how you look at your phone to avoid public interaction. 2) Read a book that you're interested in. You'll generally stick to it. 3) Don't watch TV or do other shit. Read instead. 4) Read different types of books that don't overlap, so you can read more than one book at a time with ease. 5) Don't force yourself to read shit you don't like. The end. These are really good tips and I don't understand all of the hate.

Usually when I read, I have to read a sentence twice before I move on.. I hate it so much because it makes me so slow but I do it so I can understand the book

I don't get the hype about reading a lot of books at the same time. To me reading is about enjoying one at a time, in order to really get into it... #justmyopinion

I don't think reading is all about the amount of books that you've read, but the amount of enjoyment and knowledge that you've gained from reading 📖

WOW, some of these comments are so hateful. Everyone should read as fast as they want to and as much as they want to. She's not saying that everyone has to read like she does, she's just saying how she reads. I read very similar to her. No, its not a race or anything...but I have SO MANY books I want to read in my lifetime, and reading is my favorite thing, so that's what I do every evening after work. Some books go faster than others (depending how into them I am). And some I don't remember well, although I think that's because they just weren't memorable. Do you remember every single TV episode and movie you've watched? I don't watch very much TV anymore, I've pretty much replaced TV with reading. People always ask me how I read so much, and its that simple...I don't sit around playing apps and games a lot, I don't spend loads of time of social media, and I watch Netflix maybe 2 hours a week. Sometimes not even at all. Depends if I'm into a show or not. So my time is spend working, with my family around supper, and reading. When you read 3-4 hours a night, its easy to finish a book, especially if its short or YA. That's what I like to do. You read what you want to and how much you want to. As long as people are reading, even if its just a book a year, I think that's awesome!

I feel like reading that fast isn't enjoyable :(((

Good for you! Reading is so good for you 💁🏼

These are some of the most vicious comments I have ever received and this is a BOOK video. I made this because it was requested. People realized I read a lot and wanted to understand how I did it. I didn't make this to "brag about myself" if that's all you think it's about find a new video. I also appreciate the comments telling me I'm lying or not very intelligent, because of how I look. If that's how you think you lead a very sad life. I will be stopping comments in the near future if these continue.

I have such a problem reading a third of a book, putting it down, and then picking up a different book!

tip #6: have lots of free time

Yesss, me too. I read 15 books a month, pretty much every month. And I used to follow about 20 tv shows, which is waaaay too many. I dropped all of those and now I watch like 4 tv shows, 2 of which are in between seasons. And now I'm obsessed with reading and it sometimes takes way too much time, and I only get like 3 hours of sleep. So I gotta work on that.

There's some good tips here. Assume a reading speed of 250 words a minute. Say a book can typically range from 60,000 to 100,000 words. That's 4 to 7 hours or so, on average, to read a book, or 64 to 112 hours to read 16 books. With about 720 hours in a month, assume there are 480 waking hours. That means at an average speed of reading, 16 books a month would take about 14 to 24 percent of one's waking time or about 3.5 to 6 hours a day. GS says she's a fast reader but not a speed reader, so cut that in half to get a rough idea of her number of reading hours. I wonder if she has any tips on how to concentrate and focus.

Ok can we talk about the fact that she is so beautiful. Girl you slay.

If I really like a book I can also read it in a day. I am relatively fast reader. About 320-350 words per minute. Sometimes when I really love a book I stop and think about it a bit more. Sometimes I am even delaying finishing the book as I want to be entangled in some world for extra time. I usually also read few books at once.

i dont feel like we should base reading choices on goodreads reviews like that. maybe thats just me

I can see how fast you read just by the way you speak so quickly x) Sorry to see people leaving bad comments :( Keep doing what you love

i read an 800 book in a day it's all about how much you like the book sometimes i spend a week on a 100 page book because i simply don't want to read it

I think the best tip you gave is picking books you are really into and will love to read. I definitely read much faster if I'm really into a book and often finish them in one sitting.

Do your books have only 10 pages? Then I can do that too.

I feel like you're forgetting that some books are worth spending a lot of time on. No joke, it took me two months to read Wise Man's Fear, despite loving the story. Focusing on how many books I read, for me, kinda ruins reading. It makes me not want to challenge myself and read something a bit tougher, or something I might need to take breaks from. If that's not something that affects you, then that's great! But bear in mind that some books are worth their time.

These tips/advice really helped. I really enjoy your videos!

I read the School for Good and Evil series from 12PM to 3AM. My eyes.

These are such good tips! I always forget to fill "empty" time with reading, and this video reminded me to do so! Thank you!

thank you so much for this! its super helpful x

These are great tips and make perfect sense! Thanks!

when I enjoy books I fly through them. reading hollow city again and started reading it this morning. almost finished

Good content! Thanks for tips. What do you think about reading, listening and taking notes at the same time?

Thank you SO MUCH for making this!! RU-vid's algorithm read my mind... I've been wanting to be more efficient with reading and am really busy, moreso than I've ever been. This really helped and gives me more motivation!

Speed reading is good for college and textbooks. However if you want to read literature I think you should take your time, specially if you're reading a dense book like, for example, Brothers Karamazov or Siddhartha. In those books there are passages that you want to dissect, delve into, meditate on, analyze, however you want to call it, in order to get as much as you can from your reading or get as close as you can to what the author intended to communicate. IMHO if you read literature fast you don't know how to read literature. Enjoying literature fully (and all fine things in life, like wine, good food, fine art, classical music, etc), requires patience or time. You don't rush through the Louvre, unless you you don't know how to appreciate art.

Please tell me what are the book which we can better make our reading fast

what kind of books do u like?? i have trouble finding books i like...i can read fast as well

Do u plan ahead with a monthly list? My best is 10 books a month but that happens infrequently though. So I'm planning to reduce the time allocated for tv shows to read 10 a month. Anyway thanks for sharing!

I love your videos so much. Thank you for making this video! I love you!

Quick question : How much retention do you get with a rate like that? I personally think when the speed increases, the retention decreases as well, think quantity versus quality, unless you have an outstanding brain, which can't be acquired in a how to video.

Reviews don't matter. It's just about how you like the book, turn to the first few pages and read them.

1. Always have a book on you 2. Read multiple books at a time 3. Read what interests you 4. Be naturally a fast reader

Great vid thanks for the tips!! I know lots of people say you talk to fast but I love it! It really helps me focus on what your saying, I can process things quicker and it's easy to keep up so keep doing what your doing!

This video made plenty sense! Thanks for the tips, it was helpful. 😊

Since 2015 i have one Book and i did not finish yet ! But in heart i like to know more through READING however, procrastination has defeated me, is there any advice to overcome this problem ? By any one

How long does it take you to read something like Game of thrones or Stephen King's IT that is over a thousand pages long?

I ENVY YOU. it's difficult for me to finish a book in a week or a month. I think I need to change my habit and enjoy my book. you're cool!

Does anyone know any booktubers that would be helpful to someone with A.D.D. or those who struggle with reading? Thanks

I like to read but many times I just feel its better to watch a movie then reading so I end up watching 4 movies a day back to back rather than reading, wht can I do then ?

my sister said she cant read more than one book at a time, i was like uhhh dont you watch more than 1 tv series? its the same thing.

I tend to take longer the more I enjoy the content just to really focus, envision and feel immersed in the world

how do you read a 500 pg book in one day, and comprehend the key points? & do you take notes as well?

Just found your channel from this video, and you are really sweet and encouraging! I used to read a lot when I was younger and want to get back into it. This encouraged me to dust off some of the books I have been wanting to read for years but have just been too lazy.

How are you ? I Hope you are fine, i want to share a problem that i speak and listen english but i cant understand english books but i know vocabulary , can you help me Thank you

Not only are you a fast reader but a fast talker. 500 pages in 1 day?! U go girl! (also lovely hair🔆)

Thank you so much for this video, I love reading, but personally I struggle with reading quickly, and this has really helped me. Love your channel! Also, finally someone on RU-vid doesn't talk super slow!

I love reading and I have since I was 8 now I'm 11 I think I could read sixteen books in a month considering the lord of the rings is not one of them! I used to read around 6 books at the same time I gave that up about a year ago but watching this I wonder if I should reconsider?

Do u know how can I add you in Goodreads

I read really fast too(avg. 100 pages an hour), so I am normally so absorbed by one plot that I read it until it's done, but I have been known to start multiple books when I have a hankering for one genre. Downloading books on my phone is my salvation, because I no longer have to carry 3 books in my purse and have to worry about finishing them. My biggest suggestion for reading fast is an addition to one of yours: once you find a genre that you enjoy, look for series in that genre that have a lot of books already released, or is already finished. That way, you don't have to wait a whole year to read the next book that you finished in an hour or three! :)

This was really helpful! Thanks so much!

do you read the book from cover to cover ????

The important thing is not how many books you can read in a month but what you get out of them :)

i remember i would read a shit ton in middle school and ninth grade (not 16 books a month lolol but still a lot) but when i went through sophmore year, i would get tired to the point of sleeping in the car while my mom drove me on my way home from school, and i would only have energy to read what i needed for english class, and rarely anything else. plus now im writing for fun and that takes up a lot of time as well, even if ive written 235 pages already. im taking advantage of summer now and reading as much as i can, since i know during junior year i'll be really busy with 2 AP classes. i miss being able to read so much, even if i still read fast, but you inspire me to try harder, so thank you

how do u deal with tough vocabulary??my problem is the vocabulary, i read an unusual word and find its meaning in the dictionary,the process takes forever to read,if u could kindly help me!!!!😰😰😰😥😥

What do you get out of this much reading? And suppose you stuck on a line or word which you have no idea what it means, how you deal with that? What advice would you give to slow reader like myself to speed up the process, I have been trying to read this one book for months and still couldn't make it to half.

I love reading! I usually read multiple books to- I like to have a fiction and a non fiction option :)

I'm a fast reader and can read a book in a day but that was when I had more free time. Wish I was still a teenager or a student, because now when I do have free time I am too tired to be able to focus on reading, so my tv shows watching has gone up. Which I am okay with because when I have breaks I can catch back up. I used to say so much that people should watch less tv to read books, and although that is great... in a busy adult life it makes sense why some people will choose a tv show over a book, as books tend to require a lot more energy. That being said when I do get time to read I read like a crazy person!

How many books have you guys read so far this year? I've read 68 (:

Me:*reads a 650 page book in six days and is proud of myself* Me after watching this: *feels bad*

But what if you have 4-5 hours of dance after school and you get home around 9?? And then you don't want to stay up?? I CAN ONLY READ IN THE CAR OR BUS AND ITS JUST A FEW MINUTES

I have a question!. I've seen many videos of these particular topic and I appreciate yours because it is simple and goes to the subject right away. thank you!! but muy question is: how do you read 3 or maybe more books at the same time? do you have a schedule to pick one..? or what? this recomendation is the most given in the comunity of booktube and I always have that question. Thank you very much!

Get it girl! I live for reading Im seriously the biggest nerd!

Thank you!This really helped

Grace Stella --- This is more like you explaining WHY YOU READ and HOW YOU STRUCTURE YOUR READINGS so that reading lots AND at a high speed is possible for YOU. Thank you for your video, well done!

I love this video. Always happy to find new avid readers int he world. :)

You bring up good points. I used to read so slow years ago, but now when I pick up a book I usually get through it in 1-2 days, but that usually depends on what you said, if the book has good reviews and something that would seriously interest me. I mean I've readin a 600-700 page book in 2 days b/c it was soooo good and I could not put it down. But as long as the book is good and seriously interests you, you will not put it down and end up reading it fairly quickly.

I like your idea of taking book everywhere. This helped me. Thanks

way to go girl , i also do read way too many books, but i'm more of a collector than a reader i have a huge library of old heavy books mostly are idiologies and political history yet i'm a hopless romantic . and it's true if you want to read more you have to forget something called TV if you miss the news you can read the papers instead.

How much are you retraining?

How can u replace from watching Tv to enjoy reading books !?

I say I read 20+ books a month to brag but its all audio. Its better because I get things done and feel like I'm in another place of the world.

"One year from now you will be the same person you are today, with the exception of the people you meet and the books you read." Choose what you read wisely. Garbage in, garbage out.Thanks, Grace, for taking your time to make this video.

Your life is MY GOAL!

I read relatively quick too. I've been in a slump lately but I hope I can find a book I can really get into!

even during summer vacation i can't read as much as you can on a school month. it's genuinely really impressive how fast you read and how devoted you are to books. thank u for this video and for the tips

I can relate to this so much. If I buy a book I really enjoy I read it in about one or two days but if I have to read a book for school that I don‘t like at all I read it in two weeks or don‘t even read it at all.

Wow, I relate to this book so much. I have a feeling our reading habits are a lot alike. I always carry a book with me and read it while doing things like brushing my teeth, walking, cooking, etc....

Is it enjoyable to read that much? How much do you remember?

Can we agree on something .. she is really pretty

I totally agree with the point about trying to read books you know you'll enjoy, I've bought and not finished so many books that just had pretty covers or good reviews even though I knew that they weren't very me and it took ages to get through them with no real satisfaction

I sure can read that amount but I wouldn't be really grasping any of them/ getting into it. When I read fast I notice I lose track of what I am reading and it becomes boring and too much.

I totally get it when she said she read a book in a day. That feeling when you can't stop reading a book. That happened to me with Everything everything.

I wasnt gonna leave a comment, but i saw yours at the top and was inclined to add my two cents. I thourghly enjoyed your video and recommendations. You have a lovely energy and i like that you read regularly. Its one of the traits i highly value and admire in a person. I am baffled what provoked people to be mean. Maybe its because you seem so genuine or people would like to be more like you and are facing some personal challenges at this time. All the best to you

It was really helpful!!

I read from 15 to 30 books a month and it is not that hard. I always have a book in my phone. My kindle app is a life saver and I also read at night which for me has a lot less distractions and it is more relaxing.

i feel weird... i really like to read but i am also VERY slow reader, i mean, my english teacher knows i love books and once she asked me how many books per month i read and i was so ashamed to tell her the thruth (2-3 books/month) i lied to her and said 5-6... are there other people like me out there? am i weird or is it normal to read so slow even though i love books?

Carve the mark how lo ng takes it????

I read the entire book of Before I Fall in one afternoon when I was ten and I'm proud.

Loved the video. I also love to read. I stopped reading for around 10 years and I've picked up on reading Dec 16 and since then (now June 17) I've read 9 books and I'm oh so proud of myself ❤️

thanks for the tips and insight. i plan to read at least 10 books a month. you inspired me :))

I used to read 3 or 4 books in a week when i was in school, but now it feels wrong, like im not apreciating the book or that i'm reading just to read.

A tip I have to read books faster is to read it online with small text. It helped me read so much faster. When I read physical books I constantly stop and get distracted. It helps with reading books in one sitting or books with over 400 pages.

Thats awesome. I wish i could read this much in a week.
