Media Death Cult is pretty much the only one I watch. He covers Science Fiction.

That is so incredibly sweet, thank you <3 my local second hand bookstore is really good at finding books for me for really cheap, so I don't want you to waste your money on what will probably be an outrageous shipping cost. My country's postal service is also absolutely terrible, and I think your kind gift would just languish in a warehouse until the end times. But again, thank you so much!

His poetry is even better: check out Night Sky with Exit Wounds.

Currently no, but I believe we have seasons in our lives where reading needs to take a backseat or we need to read easy books.

I have read this book three or four times. I love the pace and the detail and can’t imagine it being any shorter. I felt the same about her other books. 🤷🏻♀️

A constant struggle for me… just one more chapter! I often read at night. Sometimes you have to just set aside the time or pick a firm stop in the book. Sometimes you just have to pay for the sleep deprivation! Some books are worth it.

Well, this hits home. Been stuck at about 3/5 of the book for about a month. I had even bought the paper copy, since i had heard it was such a good book.
i will definitely finish it, since I paid for it, but so far it is quite muddy and slow. Also I do not love how the characters are developed.

It is acknowledged as a beautifully written book. If it is not to your taste, just read something else.

You can choose books that are less emotionally intense and thought provoking while you are in school. Anything described as cozy or light would work. Also journalistic nonfiction as long as the subject isn't tragic.

You always have the option to combine reading and productivity with audiobooks while commuting or doing chore-type-things. There are so many good books free on the Libby app and at your local library.
Hope this helps!

There's a bunch of decent ones, the two that have stuck with me throughout the years are the Bookchemist and Better Than Food Book Reviews.
Leaf by Leaf reviews a lot of obscure book. R. C. Waldun isn't great too although his channel is not solely for book reviews. My latest favorite booktuber is Man Carrying Thing.

Yes it does and no I don't care, I'd rather read than do chores.

I find that female protagonists written by male authors have the emotion range of a doorknob and no matter who they're supposed to be, they cry at the drop of a hat and have no other coping strategies than that.

Since you already watch Steve Donoghue, I'd just pay attention to the other channels he interacts with and branch out from there. They'll often comment and he'll mention them in his videos as well.

Seconding some of these!
I think Cari can read reads a good mix of YA and adult (more heavily leaning towards adult) and I like the way she formats her channel. She also has such a chill, cozy vibe which I really enjoy.
Uncarley is hit or miss for me, but I think that's just because we have wildly differing tastes - the chaotic energy she has is pretty fun. She's definitely worth a try if you're looking for non-YA content.

They let you just pick the books you want in there!? I’m quite suprised.
I recommend yellow blue tibia, a sci-fi mystery of sorts beginning in stalin’s Russia and taking you up to the chernoble era
