The author of Powerless, Lauren Roberts, stated that she drew inspiration from both The Hunger Games and Red Queen. She kind of describes her book as a blend of the two!
Oh did she? Well I guess it was just too similar to the point where scenes were literally copied then 😂 Loved the banter but just hoping for some originality in the second book!
This was such a fun watch! I don’t read YA all that often anymore but I’m very excited to read Divine Rivals and hoping to get to it soon. I love Crooked Kingdom and hope you also enjoyed the rest of the book 😊
I just stumbled upon your RUclips channel and I’m loving your content!! You have such a fun and cozy vibe. Fantastic work, can’t wait for upcoming videos! 😊
Wow that looked long! Definitely understand the book fatigue after non-stop reading- I just took a long 13h flight where I pretty much did the same thing and to say my eyes were tired is an understatement! As always I loved this video and really appreciate all the new and different content you're bringing out! I hope you can get a nice rest and get back to reading when you feel it's right
This is the first video I see from you and I just wanted to say that I really like the way you explain things and talk about books and the vibe your video gives off
Hi i love all the reading content you're putting out!! I can't wait until you start reading Brandon Sanderson books! I'm finishing up his Skyward series. I can't recommend them more a lot of fun.😊
I miss your workout vlogs sm !! Hope they make a cb soon, that’s what made me love your channel! But I love the way you pivoted into booktube 😭 love your content ❤❤
Thank you so much!! Tbh I prob won’t do fitness specific content moving forward but you’ll always see a piece of it when I do my introvert diaries vloggy videos ❤️ glad to hear you’re liking the book videos too!
24 hours of reading is no joke. Every time I see groups doing readathons I don't participate because I'm only going to be able to finish one book maybe unless I read a bunch of graphic novels. It's a rare book that can have me forgoing sleep to finish it the last book that had me doing that was Small Spaces by Katherine Arden (middle-grade horror, I had to find out if the kids were gonna survive). Well done on taking on this reading marathon! I hope your eyes get some rest :D.
totally! and that's why i decided to do the timer method vs the all out no sleep method. i'm not sure i'd even be able to concentrate on anything at that point :P thank you so much!
I def have good days and bad days! since this was more of a challenge, I had my mind more focused and determined than normal 😂 mainly for me, my biggest tip would be to just put your phone very very very far away so you don’t feel the urge to grab it lol! That’s what usually distracts me.
i think your expierence with powerless just goes to show the effect social media has on discovering books bc i hate when the hype around a book changes my expectations for it
Heyyy Jamie! I have a book recommendation based on the first one you read here. I recently read Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. He's also a mystery thriller writer, and Odd Thomas also breaks the fourth wall while he tells the story. I highly recommend it. It was a solid 5 stars for me. The book is fast-paced and crazy. 😁❤️
So I know Jamie has moved on from workout content which is great for her but she motivated me so much in my fitness journey. If anyone knows more RUclipsrs who workout from home and document it please let me know!
Hi!! Thank you so much :) welcome to the fam ❤️ I actually just got it from Amazon, it came in a bundle package with the kindle so it’s one of the kindle brand cases I guess!
I haven't ever read for 24 hours "straight", but I hear that eye strain is lessened by reading from Kindle instead of physical books. But who knows, maybe that's just the internet's attempt to get me to buy a Kindle lol. Also, your cats are absolutely beautiful!
I am interested in reading the Divine Rivals books, but I am curious. What is the spice level of them? (Maybe compared to Fourth Wing) I also saw so many of these books that I want to see how you feel about them and I was just hoping you would pick them. I’m sure you will get to them soon.
THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! let me know what other reading challenges you might want to see ❤

Hey , Jamie I suggest you do a reading challenge were you let your favourite book yoitubee choose what you read for the week 😊
That would be so fun!
This was so fun and cozy! Love the fort✨🤍⛺📖📚 That was Impressive! SOoo much reading 🤯👏🏻😅 the Huffy cam was really fun too😁

Omggg Sage responding to Huffy was the cutest!! I need to make some granola bars. The last ones I made were very chewy and I loved it!
She is so vocal 😂 homemade granola bars sound so yummy!
This was such a fun watch! I don’t read YA all that often anymore but I’m very excited to read Divine Rivals and hoping to get to it soon. I love Crooked Kingdom and hope you also enjoyed the rest of the book 😊

thank you!!! YES I’m getting to this soon I promise 😂
WHY DOES CROOKED KINGDOM LOOK LIKE THAT😭 thats a gritty book and this cover is giving happy vibes hahahhahahha
LOL I KNOW, it’s like the indigo special. I think the design is cool, but definitely doesn’t suit the book
Such a crime isn't it, I thought the same
I’m so glad that you loved Ruthless vows! I really enjoyed it 💜💜💜
It was so beautiful!

This is literally my dream. I love the Huffy side quest cameo! 😊
YOU SHOULD DO IT TOO 😂
I'm gonna need you to share tips to focus on reading looool. I get distracted every 10 minutes and that makes me read at such a slow pace. 😭

Hats off to you!!! 🥳🥳🥳📚 I LOVE the new shirts by the way! And this made me even more excited to read more Rebecca Yarros after I finish Iron Flame. 🤩

I love this! Looks like you had a blast! ❤
Thank youuu!!! I did 😂😂
Amaziing challenge!!! I'm currently reading divine rivals...can't put the book down 🥰🥰🥰 and can't wait to dive into Ruthless Vows 😅

Ouuu will add to my tbr, thank you!!
@@jaimefok You're welcome❤️
So I know Jamie has moved on from workout content which is great for her but she motivated me so much in my fitness journey. If anyone knows more RUclipsrs who workout from home and document it please let me know!
Justina Ercole is great for sound workout advice :)
@@jaimefok thank you. Im looking for someone who does challenges like you did. You motivated me so much and I’m looking for that.
OMG I NEED to know where your hoodie is from! it's soooo prettyyyy I love it!
which one? :)
@@jaimefok the Tairn and Andarna one 😍
@@helenazimmer643 it's from the Etsy shop called Beary Cute Prints!
@@jaimefok thank you so much!
I really want to make a fort now and read/video games and snacks...best
DO IT, it’s so cozy!
this was the firt time i saw someone critical of powerless
LOL everyone else I’ve seen is just absolutely obsessed with it!
Awesome blog‼️💯 that’s a cool cover of Crooked Kingdom
Thank you so much!
Oh my, it looks hard 😳 You did amazing 😍
Hard but fun haha! Thank you ❤️
Your videos are always amazing, girl!!
thank you so muchhhhh❤️❤️❤️
I trust you more than any other booktuber rn because of your powerless review. It was SO HYPED and it did not deliver for me.
I think it was a fun, tropey romantasy read but I really don’t understand why it’s being hyped over any other romantasy! Just had nothing new in it 😂
Hi jaime! First video I’m watching from you, and I’m obsessed. You’re such a great energy to watch! I love the kindle case, where did you get it?! 🎉
Hi!! Thank you so much :) welcome to the fam ❤️
I actually just got it from Amazon, it came in a bundle package with the kindle so it’s one of the kindle brand cases I guess!
New subscriber and feel the same way about Powerless. She did really good on the banter though! I gave it 3 stars, which is still good!
Welcome to the fam! ❤️
YES- I’m waiting for more. The banter will keep me going onto the sequel but I’m expecting some creativity in the plot!
Aw! a fort I can't build one. My cousin was always the best at making forts. I might just buy a tent.
haha I def needed help from huffy 😂
I just finished Ruthless Vows yesterday, i thought it was so good as well . Have you read any of her other books ?
IT WAS SO GOOD! I haven’t read anything else from her, but just added all her books to my goodreads TBR 😂
@@jaimefok lmao I love that and probably should do the same 😂
Please do a challange were you read as many pages for how mutch you pocked uour phone up , i got this idea fork Sarah carolli
This is a good one too!!

@@jaimefok u seem so cool n kind thru ur videos , n ur cats are sooo cute
@@rokayaenafielmetni5232 thank you so much! my cats are literally my life lol, i love them so much
I haven't ever read for 24 hours "straight", but I hear that eye strain is lessened by reading from Kindle instead of physical books. But who knows, maybe that's just the internet's attempt to get me to buy a Kindle lol.
Also, your cats are absolutely beautiful!
Interesting!! I do like how the kindle feels on the eyes in general, so I’d believe it!
I am interested in reading the Divine Rivals books, but I am curious. What is the spice level of them? (Maybe compared to Fourth Wing)
I also saw so many of these books that I want to see how you feel about them and I was just hoping you would pick them. I’m sure you will get to them soon.
Divine rivals is zero spice, since it’s YA!
You should let your cat pick the books you read
LOL! I’ve done a bit of this in my sequels video!
I'm jealous🥲.I'd like to read books but finals are coming so I have to study a lot (unfortunately)😒
i took a HUGE reading break while i was in university - didn't start back up again until i graduated and started working lol, so totally understand!
I'm busy reading Britney Spear's new memoir, and I'd love to see you read and react to it!❤ I'm not sure if you're a Britney fan lol.😂
I’ve been interested in that one for sure! I have so many books to read but maybe I’ll do a memoir reading week some day.
@@jaimefok you will make my heart very happy😅😅❤️
I have never clicked so fast lol😂❤
HAHAHHA YES ❤️😂
The fort is cute. The cats look comfy. I guess you didn't get a workout in? Huffy's granola looks yummy.
I did a workout in the mornings before reading started for the day :)
Hope you enjoyed all the books and didn’t give you a reading burnout
I’m still going strong 😂
❤
I have dyslexia and adhd so in 24 hours I can only read one book 😭
One book in 24 hours is really impressive!
I don't have these things and would probably only read one book also haha
👍😄
So much reading puts the mind into non reality fantasy mode and away from real life which I suppose is the purpose of it but can be overdone...
