i was visiting San Francisco last week and my friends (who are dating) started fighting. The natural response for me was to slip out of the situation and explore bookstores around the city on my own. Books + solitude = peace 👍👍
I’ve debated with myself during pretty much the whole video on whether or not to say this because I’m worried it will sound very weird but I’ll say it anyway: You seem like the kind of soul it would be so easy to fall in love with. A genuinely kind, loving, warm, still soul. Hope this isn’t too weird, maybe just a tiny little bit weird.
me: *just took a stepped in a bookstore my dad: we have to go me: *got stabbed in the heart It was hard and very uncomfortable when I go to bookstores with my parents.. If I’m going alone, I would be hours at a bookstore
If you’re ever in London, make sure you go to Waterstones Piccadilly. It’s 6 floors and one of the largest (and best) bookstores in Europe! Love your videos
1:25 "you are not alone okay if anything you've got me okay" This melted my heart more than any romantic book can. Love from India, Jesse. And if anything, we are here for you too🙂.
So tonight I was feeling really lonely and as I sat down to eat dinner I decided that watching you book shop hop would be the perfect thing to watch while eating, and then you hit us with that shirt and I was just like ... how did he KNOW. So thanks Jesse. You made my evening better. Keep exploring :)
Books speak to me...I never leave a bookstore empty handed though I can’t visit them a lot so a pile them up and end up paying around 70 dollars including my sister’s books 📚...yeah restraint is something I can never have
Literally me, I just went to books a million and ended up paying $60 not including my brothers books........we ended up paying a grand total of $80 altogether It seems we both haven problems 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂😂 😂😂😂 😂😂😂 😂
I love the new style for your videos. 2018 was hard in terms of content creation for me, and there have been so many times I've given up on myself. But then I watch your videos and I get inspired to create. From you I've learned that I should create what I like and not worry about others judging your work. So thank you :))
that's so wild that i helped motivate you in 2018, because i myself was having a really difficult time with creating videos as well. i'm definitely much happier with how things are developing now, but there for awhile i was sooooo lost.
jessethereader it’s good to know I’m not alone, as you say in your video. But yea, I totally understand that feeling, but I think being lost is part of the creative process.
Omg this would be my dream day! I'm actually going to New York in May, and I'm hoping I get to check some of these places out. Anyway, awesome video, and your editing was on point (as always).
i am SO SO SOOO happy you are doing this little new york series thing. i am hoping to go on a road trip EXACTLY like this and im so glad that one of my favorite youtubers is showing me what its like💕
I always said that if i ever went to NYC id go to the empire state building and ask for the 600th floor, but i went in grade 9 (2 yrs ago) with the school and wasnt able to 😭
Thank you so much for this video Jesse!! Always love vlogs as we get to see things and cities which most probably will never visit so it’s amazing to get a glimpse through the videos, thank you!!
This video is so aesthetically pleasing, perfect to watch while winding down after work and organising my own videos, looking forward to the changes this year and wishing you all the best Jesse!!
Jesse, I woke up very sad and anxiety-filled because I have to babysit today and I really didn't want to since I'm tired and not feeling well. I saw your video and clicked on it, and I was immediately in a great mood after the first thirty seconds😊. Just a reminder that your content inspires and means so much to people including me. Thanks so much for being a light and inspiring me when I'm feeling down💗
Thank you so much for all these good addresses! The day I'll visit NYC I will definitely rewatch your video, thank you for doing all the work. So many bookstores *day dream*!
I've lived in NY for my entire life yet I was mesmerized by this video. You made NYC look so beautiful! Now I have to check out Books of Wonder! Thanks! Xx
I love your vlogging style. The editing, the colors, the little doodles, the shots. We can clearly see that you took time, effort, and love in making this! Love it. Looking forward to the next vlog.
Nope not weird,un uh,perfectly normal to be at a book store and think "this place smells great".we readers know the book smell should be in a perfume!also the "you are not alone" made me cry I needed it thank you.😊
I just wanted to say that I am so glad that I discovered your channel a few months ago. I don't really know why but your videos always make me smile and it just feels so good to watch a few of them before going to bed. I think that you are just someone that looks really kind and really funny and I guess seeing a "friendly" face is really helping me before going to bed (I kind of have insomnia and it's usually hard for me to fall asleep). Your channel really is lovely and I hope that you will continue to bring some happiness in the life of all your subscribers like you already do! :) Also, this "you are not alone" message at 1:20 was so heartwarming thank you
Awesome! An entire list of bookstores to visit. Also, you both had matching outfits, and I love how the red was that nice pop of color. I loved the color grading choice for the video as well. 😊
Jesse, I really enjoy your content. You have been provided much needed encouragement and laughter on my darkest days. You have inspired me to write with passion. You have helped me to understand that the world has a place for my stories. You are as one of my kindest friends, regardless of the fact that we do not even know each other. I have subscribed today. I apologize for not doing so earlier. Thank you very much for all that you do on the platform!
This video was so satisfying to watch the editing is phenomenal and it was so interesting! Please do more like these even though you're not so confident with filming in public which i totally get, it really pays of. Love you the most!!
Wow I love to see your creativity shining in different ways! This video was a feast for the eyes and a warmth to the soul. I am having a rough time mentally lately so "you are not alone" is something I needed to hear. 💕
Strand is definitely iconic. I visited it two years ago while being in NYC and I remember being really impressed when I found so many books in different languages - pure paradise for me :) Happy New Year from Poland!
Wow with this video and the last episode I've been so impressed. Not that your other videos are bad but these have just been different...like you can really see the passion, time and effort you put into these videos. And those little animations. Can't wait to see your content grow in the new year.
omg the bookstores you visited are all looking so aesthetically pleasing! like this old, and mysterious bookshops you read in fantasy-books. mine are all modern, wish we had an old one here! 🤍
Getting home after a really shitty 2 day travel, seeing a 17 minute video from Jesse and hearing in the first 2 minutes that he got my back. That's definitely a mood lifter 😅
I really like your vlogging style, Jesse! The montages and the music are so relaxing and make your videos so fun to watch. Thank you for taking us with you on your trip! I've never been to New York, so this was a nice way for me to get a peek into the city. :-)
This entire video is literally my dream. Visiting as many bookstores as I can in one day and I'm always interested in visiting local independet bookshops. Also, watching your vlog is very calming and I love your editing it's so good! Your vlogs are awesome and I think you're doing good. If I were you I'll be too anxious just take selfie in a public places tbh.
I never want this series to end... 😅 This is so amazing! In fact, who else thinks that he should make a vlog about going to other places and exploring their bookstores? That would be awesome! ❤
The editing. The editing! You’ve done so well. We’ve got some smooth yet crisp editing for the b-roll/montages and some funny entertainment elevating editing in the talking parts. None of it over the top like what’s becoming a bit overdone nowadays. Just the perfect balance. I’m impressed but not surprised.
This video comes at the perfect time! I am flying all the way from France to New York for the Bookcon in June and I am currently planning my trip. Thanks to you I added a few of these bookstores to my list :)
What an awesome video! Jesse I love your new video/vlog style so much, it's so relaxing for some reason!! I guess I just like listening to lo-fi music while looking at books XD
I've been subscribed to you since I joined booktube yet never watched one of your videos until now and this was one of the funniest and entertaining book vlog I've ever seen! Can't wait to get notifications of new vids :^)
Bookstore hopping is better than bar hopping any day.
Holly Hearts Books Unless you’re dressed for a themed pub crawl and you’re trying to win airplane tickets lol
@Soufflé Girl Unless you're drunk on books.
Yes my lovely! Absolutely 😀
Hemingway, Poe, Bukowski, Faulkner, etc. do not agree...
If only I had friends to do it with
He's the guy you want to take with you when you're out hunting new books.
Jesse i want to hunt books with you xD
@@lacampanella2406 me too
Frankie Marshland my friends cross the street when we come near a bookstore... so I can’t go in
Yes definitely
I am book huntig this month. I haven't access to the Internet but I have a map with All bookstores in my near
I wish I had enough bookstores around me to visit 9 bookstores in a day😂
Same
the only “bookstore” I go to is target 💀
Hah same. The only bookstores I can go to are Popular and Kinokunya. And Popular isnt even fully a bookstore
Hahahahaha Me too!

i was visiting San Francisco last week and my friends (who are dating) started fighting. The natural response for me was to slip out of the situation and explore bookstores around the city on my own. Books + solitude = peace 👍👍
that must've been such an uncomfortable situation! glad a bookstore was there to save the day.

You are not alone. Ghost, Angels, and people are stalking you.... .... You're welcome.........

I appreciate how you slowly filmed the bookshelves so all of us booknerds can get a good look at all the books!😂

I went to a barnes and noble today. I think it was my best arm workout ever.
Kawaii Kat that’s a big mood
Lol! U r my kinda person!
mooooooooooooooooooooddddddddd

I’ve debated with myself during pretty much the whole video on whether or not to say this because I’m worried it will sound very weird but I’ll say it anyway:
You seem like the kind of soul it would be so easy to fall in love with. A genuinely kind, loving, warm, still soul.
Hope this isn’t too weird, maybe just a tiny little bit weird.
Laura Abbd weird
Lol nah it's not weird because it's true 😂
It’s not a weird thought, just a very interesting one. I’ll have to agree.
Oh. My. God. I was just watching this video and thinking exactly that! 😲🤯But it's really true, people like him are so hard to find in this world.
Selena Jaksic woah that’s crazy! But yes, I’ve rarely (if ever) met someone who gives off this vibe/aura/whatever you might call it
me: *just took a stepped in a bookstore
my dad: we have to go
me: *got stabbed in the heart
It was hard and very uncomfortable when I go to bookstores with my parents..
If I’m going alone, I would be hours at a bookstore
If you’re ever in London, make sure you go to Waterstones Piccadilly. It’s 6 floors and one of the largest (and best) bookstores in Europe!
Love your videos
WhAT? I LIVE in the UK and have been to London. HOW did I not know that it existed?!!!???!?
I love your editing so much Jesse, it’s so artistic and aesthetically pleasing! I can’t wait for the rest of the vlogs :-)
why did i get emo over the “you are not alone shirt”
thanks for that reminder 💙
I would love to go to a book store in New York
Grace Triplett uGH sAME
My favourite moment in the video: Jesse talking to the squirrel 😂
instantly clicked and now i am here
i should be reading
Huy huy huy
I need to take small breaks when i’m in the middle of reading, so i’m watching this video during a reading break.
Same
"my shirt says 'you are not alone'"
"im also meeting my friend Alana today"
Oh wow
1:25 "you are not alone okay if anything you've got me okay"
This melted my heart more than any romantic book can.
Love from India, Jesse.
And if anything, we are here for you too🙂.
So tonight I was feeling really lonely and as I sat down to eat dinner I decided that watching you book shop hop would be the perfect thing to watch while eating, and then you hit us with that shirt and I was just like ... how did he KNOW.

No matter how many times I watch Jesse's videos, it always fills me with happiness and that I am not an akward introvert by myself.
The editing of this video is beyond spectacular! Jesse, we can tell that you're putting in a lot of effort into your videos and you're amazing! 😻😄

Welcome to trench (sorry couldn't resist)
The ‘you are not alone, if anything you’ve got me’ was strangely nice to hear. Thank you 😊
I love the aesthetic of this video, the music, the scenery, your personality and of course the books!!!
Blind date with a book IS LEGIT THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!! ❤️
All of these bookstores are so beautiful and I'm jealous because there is only one local book store where I live.

Great video Jesse! I totally understand about being directionally challenged because I'm the same way too. So you're not alone🙂
The book you picked up on 6:14 is one of my favorites!
"If anything youve got me. Ive got your back"
It was a tough day. Thank you Jesse ❤️
