For more information about what this is and why I'm doing it, see here: youtu.be/YoIfsM3OCZ8 (and addendum here: youtu.be/JbuEYnDylyU )
If you can't be bothered to sit through all that, here's the short version:
1) I'm going to start doing weekly reading vlog videos
2) Instead of talking about whole books, I'm just going to talk about the pages that I read this week. I'm going to be summarizing the story of the pages that I've read, so there will be spoilers.
3) I'm going to be doing this in addition to (and not instead of) my book review video. The content may overlap. So if you watch both the weekly reading vlog, and the book review video, expect some repetition. (Maybe just pick one or the other.)
4). I'm going to keep track of my weekly pages read for my own benefit.
