Makes me happy to hear that some of you booktubers are decreasing your reading goals. I know you can read more though. I'm glad you will be focusing more on other goals.

You are so inspiring, Janani. I am Sri Lankan and finally landed in Canada. Loved all your recommendations and I have been following you more than 6 years. I am proud of you and keep rocking. ❤
I’m also currently reading, “All My Rage” by Sabaa Tahir, which I remember you adoring❤ I have found the great importance of reading more diverse books and authors (:
Taylor Adams is one of my fav thriller authors. No Exit and The Last Word are both very intense and thrilling. Highly recommend if you haven’t read them (:❤️
Thanks for sharing your tracker! I do something similar on my Goodreads (for better or worse) and set up shelves for subgenres as well as books poc authored and books with poc characters, since authors don't always write about characters they relate to. This is my way of seeing if the characters are written in a respectful, relatable way or stereotypically with caricatures. Also helps see if the books aged well or how authors' work evolved.
Hey Jananie, from a fellow South Indian, Holly Jackson's A Good Girls Guide To Murder series is one of my most favourite YA mystery thrillers, i hope you enjoy them, the audiobooks are great too^^ its also being adapted as a TV show staring Emma Myers.
Just came across your channel so now obviously binging all your videos lol. I love your notion tracker! Thank you so much for sharing it. I hadn't yet figured out a good way to track my reading, but am definitely going to use it now.
A good thriller series (well it’s more of a courtroom drama) is Steve Cavanagh’s Eddie Flynn series. Do not start with the first book. (That was a debut and his writing evolved a lot since his first book came out). I’d recommend starting with his most recent ones or the most popular ones. You can read them as standalones. (I started with book 6 and I was fine :) ).The author is actually a lawyer in real life and the courtroom scenes in his books are so good. You’ll indirectly learn more about the American legal system. I knot it sounds boring but it isn’t 😁
A recommendation for translated fiction is Elena Knows by Claudia Piñiero, read this book last week and and I already know it’ll probably be my favorite of the year 💛 so much important commentary that I think you’ll enjoy
#7 is so relatable! I often feel like I need to get through books and don't stop if I'm confused or my mind has wandered. I just listened to an audiobook and got a plot point mixed up in my head, but didn't take the time to go back and clarify
I love the notion reading tracker- I'll have to try it out! Do you have any more advice for people with ADHD? I have always struggled with being able to actually sit down and read a book without my brain pulling my focus away. I do this with books that I enjoy and books that are a bit slow. I'm in college and I've found that listening to the audio version of the book while reading along and annotating is more effective for me. It's not the most economical way to do things though, because I would have to buy both versions🥲(if the audiobook isn't on youtube). I love literature classes but my ADHD definitely makes it very difficult. Sorry for the long winded comment ❤
For some reason, I tend to fly through books at the beginning of the year, but then progressively slow down by the end of the year. Audiobooks help me get through so many more books!
