I love the fact that you review books whilst having a different concept of video each time. It’s so much more engaging than just sitting down and reviewing them!
@@Iamjames1985 You would be shocked at how much a person can read when they don’t spend their time hate watching RUclips videos and combing through comments like seriously what are you even doing with your life?
next time you do this to get rid of confirmation bias you should have a friend find what the ranks are and then after reading the books you have to guess which one is higher or lower rated
“normalize being morally reprehensible” thanks for the validation bestie 😂 this is the most thorough and well-articulated roast of a book i’ve ever seen in my life holy hell, i’m crying 😂😂
also i had to do some digging because GoodReads’ user interface is a steaming pile of hot garbage, but the lowest rated book on my physical TBR is Treacle Walker by Alan Garner (3.19⭐️) and the highest rated book is Know My Name by Chanel Miller (4.72⭐️). Interesting that both of our top spots were taken by memoirs.
Carmen Maria Machado graduated from the Iowa Writer’s Workshop at University of Iowa in Iowa City. I currently live and study English & Creative Writing here! I had the pleasure of meeting Carmen on campus and she is brilliant. In The Dream House is spectacular. So glad it’s the highest rated.
not that i think you need anymore books but i just read “The Five Wounds” and “As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow” and had to recommend them to you in the hopes of completing your library! the first is an incredible character study, since you have an affinity for character-driven books. and the second is a digestible young adult novel that handles very important and persistent issues in the world (despite being historical) in a very accessible way.
i'm so glad i've found your channel! english is my second language, and thought i know it quite well, i can't put my mind to using advanced vocabulary, even though i know it, and just listening to you describing books blows my mind with your choice of words. I've recently really got into reading again, and i feel like watching you in addition to that will do me good
Very much think that In The Dream House deserves such a high rating - absolutely devastating writing. It hit me like a ten-ton truck. Everyone should read it.
OMG When Carmen Maria Machado was the highest rated, I knew you would recover from your previous reading trauma, because Her Body and Other Parties lives rent free in my head for not only its amazing ideas and storylines, but Machado is like the Bob Ross of word painting.
'Insatiable' in the corner with gratuitous debauchery Jack: *_The Buffet_* 'In the Dream House' in the corner with heartbreak and beauty Jack: ✨a little car!✨
I don't know what people say but jack has the best relatable quotes Dude how are you reading so many books here I am trying to get through the same book for the past 2 weeks
i enjoyed very small elements of insatiable-- like the depiction of BED/self hatred felt very real, like the interiority of it, the way insecurity can veer into self-absorption. the like sheer hatred of everything/bitterness that comes with things like that... but that's a generous reading. but the sex was abysmal fr!! [also i did the google thing too. very disappointed she's using a penname & doesn't just have the most iconic name ever]
Ahhh I see The Discomfort of Evening on your TBR list! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts 😁 I’d never heard of it but found a copy in a charity shop one day and I was super intrigued.
I like the feeling of used books. It’s beautiful to see that somebody enjoyed it so much and somehow freeing too to not be so uptight about the book staying as it was,new.
insatiable has been on my tbr for yearssss simply because i love the cover. this is my sign to stop buying books based of their looks 😭 i’m taking it off my tbr as we speak
In The Dream House really is beautifully written. I listened to the audio book and Carmen's voice makes it even more wow. Definitely gonna listen to more of her work
I recommend In the Dream house to anyone going through a break up (I read it while going through a breakup!)- despite the heavy topic of abuse/DV i think theres a lot for anyone trying to separate themselves from a relationship.
denial is a river in egypt with that thumbnail & i love it edit: i laugh, but i was just the same with colleen hoover books i read verity in one day, liked it then i read it ends with us and I wanted to forget every word ... then I read the extra chapter of verity bc i didn't learn ... and it ruined whatever i first liked about it
I really love your channel because you are open to reading such a different array of books. This reason is also why you stand out a lot from other book influencers. I’ve gotten back into reading and have added so many of the books you review to my Want to Read list on GoodReads. Thanks for that! 😅
The highest rated book in my tbr is Heaven's Official Blessing by Mo Xiang Xiu lol. Lowest rated is Exciting Times by Noise Dolan! I feel like I should do a reading of these two and make a super weird comparison!
The highest rated book on my TBR is Know My Name by Chanel Miller with 4.72 and the lowest rated is tied between Catherine House by Elizabeth Thomas and Lizzie by Dawn Ius with 3.11, but I do not think I am in the headspace to attempt any of these right now 🤣
rewatching this after the wattpad video. the way i snorted so hard when you mentioned "periodic table"... never thought it would affect me so deeply :')
Invisible Life of Addie LaRue made me feel cheated of the time it took to read that book because I'd heard that it was so good and that there was a completely unexpected twist ending but it delivered on neither, very YA in its lack of/claim to depth, idk maybe I would have liked it when I was 13 (and reading Twilight)
hello im a 3red year in an irish secondary school and i finished my mocks recently. Guess what in my English paper it had your face and a quote from you!
We need a part two!! where you read more than one book of each category maybe?? and as the comments suggest to go into them blindly... and you playing with that remote control car was so random and funny🤣
I think an interesting idea for a video would be reading multiple books without looking them up on goodreads first and then putting them in the order you think they are rated and seeing how you did.
i bought insatiable because I think I saw it as some kind of a woman vs the void trope; i started it and pretty quickly was like "meh.." and put it down. your review only reinforces my decision to give it to a thrift shop lol.
I love that a big difference between the two is that one book he couldn't put down because he loved it so much and the other he couldn't put down because he was making a RUclips video about and had no choice but to continue reading it.
I actually feel kinda bad for him that he had to power through that thing. Giving me war flashbacks to my schooldays where I had to read things I didn’t want to or wasn’t ready for lol
@@MeryKeit Yeah me too. The whole time I was just thinking "Just put it down! The fact that you don't want to continue reading is proof of how bad it is." I just know if he was reading it in his own time he would of DNF'd that book within the first 100 pages.
I read Lapvona in February because of you putting it in your TBR, and I thought it was super interesting! Definitely different from my normal reads, but it was really thought provoking!
I got a little nervous when you mentioned Young Mungo. Mainly because I haven't finished it yet, I've been reading other books and going back to it every so often. Hopefully I can finish it before you make a full review of the book. 😊
Idk why but when he talked about the sponsored part I imagined him saying „today‘s video is brought to you by goodreads“ and it kinda cracked me up after that Tamagotchi-UI joke 😂
You should read some brazilian books, specifically Machado de Assis’ The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas”, Clarice Lispector’s “The Hour of the Star” or Graciliano Ramos’ “Barren Lives”. It’s very good and refreshing
Now I know Lessons In Chemistry has that as the cover inside the hardback I might buy it, as I really want to read it but I hate the cover and hate that the author hates the cover - but I LOVE the periodic table one 😅
The highest rated book with more than only 4 ratings on my TBR is “Cut to Bloom” by Arhm Choi Wild, and the lowest rated book is “Streaga” by Johanne Lykke Holm
If someone at Goodreads is reading this….. please….. make a Goodreads “Spotify wrapped”. I need to know how many pages I’ve read…what my top genres are..plea..se
The highest rated book on my TBR is Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer at 4.63, which is quite good. My lowest rated book is Fierce Reads: Kisses and Curses at 2.87! That is super low. Now I have to read it to see why it's so bad.
Same, looove story graph. I thought, I saw a video by Jake, where he switched to story graph, but maybe in the meantime switched back for certain reasons
Storygraph as a whole is just so much better as a platform even if you ignore that Goodreads is owned by Amazon. I mean, Goodreads is missing user created challenges, a dark mode, the ability to switch editions in the mobile app, the ability to check detailed stats year round, etc, etc. The only reason I haven't moved solely over to Storygraph is that Storygraph currently lacks a Shelf feature. If it ever gets one I'm abandoning Goodreads entirely rather than using both like I do now.
My highest rated book on my tbr is the Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson with a 4.52. Lowest rated is the Magicians by Lev Grossman with a 3.53 (which I was planning to unhaul not because of the rating, but just because I am not interested anymore).
To quote the great Oscar Wilde, “People are either charming or tedious.” I don’t mind if the protagonist is evil, but if they’re annoying I’m probably not finishing the book.
You, my dear sir have more patience than I do. I bought “insatiable” a while ago thinking it was something new, spicy, and thought provoking. I don’t think I even got through 50% of it before I had to put it down for good. The main character was just too annoying and whining for me to continue. I also felt so uncomfortable with the multiple sex scenes, which I don’t think you want to evoke in your readers.
This is incredibly random, but there is an anime/manga called Banana Fish (like the Salinger short story) that is on par with A Little Life to me (so gorgeous but DEVASTATING). Anyways, if you ever need a show to binge and then analyze all the literary references within then I highly recommend it!!
In the dream house is heart breaking but so good. Is there music in the background? It's a bit confusing for my adhd brain. It's like quiet enough that I couldn't work out where it was coming from and tbh I'm still not sure I'm not imagining it's there 😭 Edit; also. In the dream house audio book is incredible. The writer reads it.
@@tracyeke2544 I kept pausing my TV. Now I'm trying to work out what it is. I feel like it's from a Nintendo game, because I thought I'd left my switch docked in the other room initially
I just love that here in Brazil we have skoob, a book platform like Goodreads but with great app and site, it has portugues, english and other languages and I'm super proud of our national book treasure!
The most beautifully written book I think I have read is Shantaram . The first paragraph blew me away And, I have bookmarks all through it for sections I reread. Last paragraph is just stunning too.
I started the video but I went to go get water while the ads play, and came back with no context to 0:40 and started laughing at what he said afterwards
PLEASE READ SMALL ISLAND BY A. LEVI. i read it and rly want to know your opinion. It took a little while to get into the good stuff but once it kicked off it was sooooo good. VERY good character development 😊
