Not us posting THE SAME vlog on THE SAME DAY 😏😍 Syd 🤝🏼 Meg

@sarawithoutanH 6 месяцев назад

Omg I watched yours earlier and then saw this and I was like wow the girlies are synced!!! Also you've both inspired me to do this vlog

@Maddiereads8 6 месяцев назад

When I saw these both in my feed I thought you’d done a collab!

@kellymanfredini3835 6 месяцев назад

Haa haa. I thought it was hilarious.

@BRhymesss 6 месяцев назад

Everyone’s screen time is so much lower than mine what’s wrong with me honestly

@Alex18630 5 месяцев назад

I loved Night Film. Definitely recommend reading and listening at the same time, cause it’s mixed media (the book I mean)

@camfan54lisa 6 месяцев назад

I like to read and listen at the same time! I often put them on the wait list from my library. It's definitely cost prohibitive without the library!

@CH-jj8wk 6 месяцев назад

This is what I do!

@ke_nickie 6 месяцев назад

i’m so shook at your screen time meg!!!! girl i am in the 8 hours+ over here 🫣🫠

@DEBateBookz 6 месяцев назад

I literally need to do this 🙈 my screen time atm is actually ridiculous and my tbr is ridiculously long

@cat.book.nook. 6 месяцев назад

Noooo I was really really hoping for you to read A Curious Beginning. 😅 I've read all 9 of them in the last few months and now I'm hungover with the knowledge that I'll have to wait for the next part 😭

Me, a millennial, hearing you discuss millenial being the older generation: what do you mean I’m a 30 year old teenager

@a.b.2405 6 месяцев назад

Lmaaooo I still feel like a teenager!

@kellymanfredini3835 6 месяцев назад

I'm Gen X so I guess that makes me elderly 😅

@cierrakoverman6826 6 месяцев назад

As a fellow millennial, I love this comment 😂

@chloestarshine 6 месяцев назад

Same, as a 31 year old I have more in common with Meg than this idea of what millennials are like haha

@twinny555 6 месяцев назад

I loved that clip “It’s almost time for Meg to serve” 😂😂😂

@marianabarreto677 6 месяцев назад

no way i was just searching for "swapping screen time" earlier today and thinking wow there is no new megwithbooks content for me to watch i'm so bored what is life

@KittyxKult 6 месяцев назад

You manifested this lol

@kaciegreen5648 5 месяцев назад

Genuinely had a moment of curiosity like "I wonder if I could do this," looked at my screen time, and started rethinking my life 💀

@paperbacksgalore 6 месяцев назад

the 'a curious beginning' TEASE in this video was a CRIME (jk loved this vlog)

@sarreptitious 6 месяцев назад

The audiobook narrator for the Veronica Speedwell series absolutely MAKES it for me

@libraryofkaris 6 месяцев назад

i'm a millenial and i disliked how to kill your family too 😂 i gave it the same rating as you and had the exact same opinions. i don't mind an unlikable character but being inside her head the whole time and hearing all her opinions became INSUFFERABLE. i think listening to the audiobook made it more intense. i thought the ending was SUCH a cop out as well it was very annoying.

@RonnieTheReader 6 месяцев назад

Night Film is a book I read almost 6 years and still think about. It’s something I constantly wish I could read for the first time again

@mekiiiiiiiiii 6 месяцев назад

I absolutely hated „how to kill your family“ 😹

@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm 6 месяцев назад

I don’t even want to look at how many hours I spend on my phone daily 😬😬

@jodieneary9960 6 месяцев назад

As a millennial, How to Kill Your Family was awful. It was marketed for people who might only read one book a year 😅

@aylah.astrology 6 месяцев назад

you could do a video with your most anticipated book releases from your fave authors (katherine arden and bride for example! just find a 3rd one) 😉

@carolinesch. 6 месяцев назад

I do a lot of work on my phone, my 10+ hours could never

@marthauhlig 6 месяцев назад

same!! I was looking at my hours this past week and I spent more than 10 hours on my phone every day lol Wednesday and Thursday it got to 15 hours, I could never do this challenge I don't think hahaha

@CH-jj8wk 6 месяцев назад

On the audiobook issue: I am not the biggest fan but as an ADHD lady, I have to say that reading with the audiobook at the same time is a godsend for bad brain days and it also means I read at the speed of light, which keeps my brain occupied and therefore semi-functional.

@eleonoragiannetti3603 6 месяцев назад

Whenever I do this challenge it's a punch in the face because it makes me realize how much I am on my phone daily!!!But I only cound "mindless scrolling" as screen time, I would not add the time I use my phone while doing something else .... it s called having fun while being productive, right?

@7GeorgeB1 6 месяцев назад

NIGHTWATCHING IS SO GOOD! THE BEST THRILLER I'VE EVER READ SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU READ OMG

@kirsty2299 6 месяцев назад

Isn’t it amazing!!!

@thursday48 6 месяцев назад

If you were to do this again maybe adding all the time for the week and then keeping a running timer would be better so you could in theory have days off or heavier and lighter days

@seouldaydreaming3520 6 месяцев назад

As a millennial who is a fat women, has a chronic illness and loves frogs. I feel personally attacked hahaha

I read Night Film in January and it was 5 stars for me. I loved it.

How to kill your family was very overrated

@ashleyyeoman9872 6 месяцев назад

i could excuse everything from that main character until she hated one direction😡

@ashleyyeoman9872 6 месяцев назад

*sarcasm but nothing but love for 1d*

@mariaduda5747 6 месяцев назад

I was loving night film but the ending really lost me but still the experience of the whole book was so fun!!

@sarawithoutanH 6 месяцев назад

I'm so glad you loved night film! It was my all time favorite when I first read it in 2016 and I've been meaning to reread it.

@louise5493 6 месяцев назад

“It’s almost time for Meg to serve” 😂😂

@marabookstagram 6 месяцев назад

It's been some time since I read Nightfilm, but I remember feeling a little underwhelmed by the ending, but loved it otherwise. Neverworld Wake is a YA novel. It was okay. I didn't love the writing as much as in Nightfilm.

@mickeyhank 6 месяцев назад

A lot of fun, this video, thanks Meg! I was thrilled to see how good “night film” is because I have it, ha ha. It definitely moved up a bunch of spots in my TBR after hearing your rave review of it, though disappointing to hear that the last third wasn’t quite as good. And it’s really cool you learned a lot of nonfiction about Agatha Christie. 😊

@katrinaandallthebooks7993 6 месяцев назад

I liked How to Kill Your family, not a millennial because I’m 2 days too old to be one aka very old🤦‍♀️

@rachellemanning6631 6 месяцев назад

I’ve had Night Film on my TBR since like 2018 and this is the first time since I bought it that I’ve been inspired to read it because man that sounds amazing!

@mighty_scrap 6 месяцев назад

A lot of good points. What I dislike about booktok is the glamorization.. the urge to buy a ton of physical books. We dont gave the same budget that is for sure.

@maddybx 6 месяцев назад

When you picked How To Kill Your Family on tbr cluedo I was like oof 👀 when girlie made fun of people who take a packed lunch to work, I was done byeeeee

@valentineboudaud1887 6 месяцев назад

I wouldn't recommand Marisha Pessl's "Special topics in calamity physics", it's an ok book but it's sooo long and hard to get through and it's trying too much to be the secret history while not necessarily succeding IMO 🤔

@GabrielTheMagolorMain 6 месяцев назад

Ironically that picture on your bedroom wall behind you reminds me of Night Film, and what I pictured. That can’t be a spoiler, no one would connect that unless you’ve read it. I loved that 150 page diversion part, I want to see a movie of that, it was so cool and different and like a maze, but movies. I’m so glad you loved it and am impressed you read it in 3 days! It took me at least a month. That was before I did audio, so it was all physical and I read some books in between. That book has definitely stuck with me all these years so it’s a 5 star for sure. I get the complaints about the ending, but it’s not just a mystery, it’s like an epic story, I don’t see how else it could have ended.

@VeraFran 6 месяцев назад

I'm 20min in and wondering how Megan will feel about Night Film's ending.

@jessicagolden1631 6 месяцев назад

Meg have you read shady hollow? It’s a super cozy murder mystery that you should check out! Love the video as always ❤

@avsambart 6 месяцев назад

I always enjoy vids with this concept 🥰 This video made me realise Meg is not a fellow millennial 😅 the shade Meg 😅 But also so glad you enjoyed Night Film!!

@sarahdreger5031 6 месяцев назад

Petition to read Marisha Pessl’s October release together when it comes out!

@imhistory93 6 месяцев назад

I could really do with doing this 😂 I'm addicted to my phone, I dread to think what my screen time is! 🙈

@anthropomorphicpeanut6160 6 месяцев назад

Depending on your phone model you might be able to see it in the settings 🫠 mine is... Awful

@KittyxKult 6 месяцев назад

My average is about 6 hours a day, but I also listen to audiobooks somewhere between 1-3 of those hours too

@marabookstagram 6 месяцев назад

What were the songs in your video? They were so pretty!

@louise5493 6 месяцев назад

Your critiques of How to Kill Your Family made me realise one of my biggest pet peeves in a book is too much internal dialogue. I DNFd an ARC for Nightwatching (an upcoming thriller) because of the sheer amount of dialogue the character was having with herself, pages of conversation while literal seconds passed in the story of the book, I now realise that is what was bothering me sm about the book🙃😂 I loved this vlog so much!! 💜

@kellymanfredini3835 6 месяцев назад

Did you give up screens or squeeze it in still?

@chelsey8737 6 месяцев назад

I think the true challenge is to swap screen time so you don't use your phone for that amount of time or anywhere near it but you can still use it obviously for necessary things. In reality it seems like people who do this end up still using their screens for very long amounts of time just not at their usual time of day. Often, they all stay up later to stay on their phones or will be on their phone while watching movies, etc.
