Thanks for all your support!
I hate it when people ask me "Why do you read books, it's so boring?". It's like me asking them why breathe when you are gonna die anyway?
+Marija Trajkovska LOL YES
EXACTLY
YESS! SAME HERE!
😂😂😂 i get that alot from my classmates. Lol. They ask why i liked reading books and do i not get bored just reading? Nope.😂
ME
My sister always gets mad at me when I'm sitting there laughing/yelling/crying at a book and I CAN'T STAND IT. She's always like, "IT'S NOT REAL." Like, why does it make you angry when I'm happily enjoying my books? THANK YOU JESSE SOMEONE ELSE GETS IT. Or rather, doesn't get it haha. You always understand me!
freeleigh I CAN REALTE SO DAMN HARD WITH THIS EXCEPT MY BROTHERS DO THAT
Lucas no it doesnt matter where im reading. she'll get mad if shes walking by a room im in and hears me laughing. Its not like i ever sit down next to her while shes doing something, crack open my book, then proceed to yell at it for 10 mins straight. I seclude myself and she'll interrupt me, come into the room im in just to tell me "it isnt real". Or ill be crying-silently- and she'll tell me to get over it, or ill just say "awww!" when something cute happens and she'll scoff at me. (The only time its warrented is sometimes i do laugh against my will reading in bed when shes trying to sleep lol so yes in that case she would have a reason to be mad). But she goes out of her way to make me feel bad about something that makes me happy even when its not disrupting her at all. She honestly just doesnt understand why i like to read
I had an entire classroom of high schoolers run up to my desk as I was finishing a book and crying, and they were like, "calm down miss, it's just a book!!" Oh shut up and go do your homework!!!!!!
Kimberly Sutton I would tell them to leave then I would start screaming if they didn’t leave
You tell em :) I love crying after a good story haha
Yessss the judging other readers thing like WHY
Jay G WHY??!!
I got made fun of because I don't buy books I go to the magical place called th library
Because sometimes it’s really stupid
Aspen Culbertson same!! I mean I don’t get made fun of, but even I borrow books from the library instead of buying them because I don’t wanna waste my parents’ money.
Irony
just to clarify, this video was not meant to attack people who do the things in this video. if you do any of the things in this video, then let's have a healthy discussion in the comments about it! i love hearing different perspectives! you've heard mine, now let me hear yours! love you guys. :)
jessethereader you are so awesome!!!
Ur awesome nice video
jessethereader 💕
I dont understand any of these either. My least favorites are spoilers and all the hate.
Love it! This was so amazing.
One time I made a RUclips comment saying I was looking forward to reading a certain series, and someone (FOR NO REASON) responded with a long list of characters who died. OKAY I GET IT THAT YOU DID NOT LIKE THE SERIES PARTICUARLY BUT WHY CAN I NOT JUST ENJOY THE SERIES
Luckily I only read one of the names so that's good
And when I get spoiled I just pretend I never saw the spoiler and go through the book like I know nothing
It actually kind of works
Sophie the Jedi Knight That's horrible! 😱
sometimes i get spoiled and i pretend i didn’t hear it and i end up actually forgetting it lmao
Sophie the Jedi Knight-that is just so rude. Glad it didn't spoil you too badly!
OH WOW I'M SO SORRY
that's sooo bad. my sister spoiled me like twice (for the end if mockingjay & 3rd book/season of got) but then I hadn't read those yet and she blurted it out & even three years later i still remembered the spoilers she told me.
I like "hate-reading" cause I feel like I already started a book and putting it down is wasting my time (even tho Im completely wasting my time reading it ik). And if someone asks in the future about said book, I could give them an honest review about it instead of saying "I stopped half way through cause it was bad" but instead I can be like "it's bad because..."
🙃🙃🙃
yeah, i didn't necessarily mean if you're hating a book you should put it down, because obviously books i've read where i didn't like the first chunk of the book, but the second chunk of the book redeemed everything. i think i was more getting at people who like go into a book knowing they're going to hate it & they hate read there way through the whole thing. does that make sense? i totally get what you're saying though!
I always have to finish books I'm not enjoying just because I have to know what happens and I always have hope that they might get better! They usually never do though lol but I still need that closure!
Valaeth Artist I'm the same way. Once I get into a book, I want to finish it no matter how I feel about it. Like you, that way I can have a full review of the book and can give an honest reason why I didn't like it. Plus, sometimes books have slow beginnings or a bad scene or two but get better.
Sometimes it's a "it's so bad it's good" kind of thing. Like watching really bad movies. Quality and enjoyment are different things :D
That is so true!!! Like, sorry to all those Twilight fans, but im a Twilight hater and i read the series just so if someone is like "Twilight is better than Harry Potter!" (Im a #potterhead) i can be like no and this is why..... ( the first thing i usually say is Edward is 100 and something years old and Bella is like 17. Then i go on and on about how wierd i find it that vampires SPARKLE in the sun!! Like shouldn't they just burn into ashes and DIE!!!)
I sometimes like to hate-read books, mainly for when I write a terrible draft for one of my novels, I could look at the bad book and think, "hey, if this garbage was published, maybe my writing isn't as bad as I think."
You ideas good actually xD
I think similar.
If After and the Kissing booth on Wattpad got published (and even movies) than my shit can, too.
People Judging others based on their reading tastes BUGS THE HECK OUT OF ME!!
You do you and let me do me, please and thank you ;)
Sam's Nonsense yes i agree i hate romance and everyone judges me like are u a girl who hates romance what the heck YOU can't shame other readers..
yes!
Same here. You'd think real readers would be happy that other people are picking up a book and reading it, instead of being all snooty about the content of the pages.
Not only that but also how many books we own, the size of our tbr... I just HATE when someone tells me "Why are you buying books? You have enough already! And you have at least 200 books on your tbr!" SO WHAT? 😅
PREACH!!!
Preach Jesse! 🙌🏻
YES!!! I HATE SPOILERS TOO! I finally got my friend to read Harry Potter after years of trying to convince her to pick it up and she is loving it... and then one day at school this boy spoiled a ton of the deaths for her! 😡😤😫😵
I hope she turned him into a toad.
Unfortunately she wasn't able to... too many witnesses
Darn
He needs his lungs Sectumsempraed.
I remember one time I was at the library and they had a display in honour of the 20th anniversary of the first book, and people got to write what the books meant to them. A lot of people were idiots, and were writing things like RIP this person or That Person dies. I luckily had read all the books, but I had to try and make sure my sister didnt see because she hadn't, and let me tell you, it is a little hard to cover up a whole wall lol
The spoiler thing!!! OMG I can't handle spoilers
There is this boy in my class at school and whenever me or one of my friends cry while reading he says 'it is just paper' 😂😂😂
I would says to him that " and now there will be blood, your blood "
I used to "hate" read the acotar series by sarah j maas but then i realized, reading an 800 page book because you "hate" it is just not possible. i was super invested man, and i was definitely not "hate" reading those books at all lol. now i just embrace it and accept that i'm trash for the acotar series and will read any subsequent novella that comes out like the trash person that i am
ah! i love that you're trash for that series!
lol acotar trash all the way
#ACOTARTRASH
SuperHappyNotMerry old comment but I’m trash for it too 😂
I love that series! Let's all be trash!
So I was in the girls washroom in school, and I had kept my book Queen of Air and Darkness on the (dry part of the) counter. A girl who was talking to a bunch of other friends asked who was reading that book, and I replied that it was me. SHE SPOILED THE WHO BLOODY BOOK!! Also my best friend was reading a book earlier in the same series (City Of Glass) and she spoiled it for her too. Lord of Shadows was spoiled for me too, by another classmate by telling me who dies.
Another thing I don’t get is why people ask “can I spoil that book for you?” Like seriously?? Obviously you can’t! Another friend of mine read the entire plot of City of Ashes to spoil it for my friend mentioned earlier who was reading city of glass.
Also some people ask “why do read such big books when you can just see the movies/tv show??” It’s pissinggg.
Also some people distract me when I’m reading so that I stop reading and talk to them. I get it, they want my company, but can’t they see I’m reading??
Sorry this comment is so long I just had to say all that. I know it’s confusing and doesn’t make sense.
that's horrible. I can't understand why ppl do these things
@@ender4344 ikrrrrrrrr!! I'm glad someone understands. Also, this comment is so old I forgot I even wrote it 😂
Mtheamazing lol
The « hate reading » thing I kinda get it. I don’t go into a book knowing I won’t like it but when I start a book I don’t enjoy, I need to finish it just to see if the reasons why I don’t like it will disappear even if it rarely does.
+SamDojtez ahh that would make sense
I never openly judge or shame anybody for the books they like but I do set my level of friendship with people a bit based on their fav books, like if somebody likes many books that I personally find to be offensive I do adjust how close that person can get to me...like it's not pure judging or anything but I think your fav books also says a lot about your character. But again I never shamed or talked down anybody for their book tastes
That's an interesting way to look at it!
P.S. I love that book! This would be really important to me too if i had friends that did read, liking a book that praises abussive relationships or any other kind of bad thing can say a lot about the person's standards and what they consider normal.
Yes, if my friend openly admits that she/he (let's be real, it's mostly a she) likes Fifty Shades... I might reconsider our closeness
Zam Hashi
It's like if the book is problematic. Like a romance that normalises an abusive relationship.
I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who think that an abusive relationship is "cute".
I hate being spoiled but sometimes it can't be helped when my favorite character is involved. I have to know if he's gonna be okay or if my heart's gonna break.
*pauses video*
*likes*
*plays video*
thanks for that like :P
jessethereader no problem! your videos are the BEST
I stopped reading because of this video. 😂❤️ I see a Jesse video, I stop everything and watch. ❤️❤️
Kaitlin Elisabeth me too! He is so funny!
Same here 😅
Kaitlin Elisabeth haha at first I thought you meant you stopped reading, permanently
Claire Guthrie goodness no. I took a small reading break for the video, then I went back to reading. 😂😂
I've been reading on my laptop's kindle app lately so it makes sneaking in videos easier, but yes Jesse is keeping us from reading :P
"A part of me just doesn't get why somebody would be upset by somebody being happy about a thing, and wanting to destroy that thing" YESSSS PREACH JESSE
For Game of Thrones I only tweet during the live show! There is just something satisfying and fun when tweeting and reading tweets while watching a new episode!!!!
@Loati that's brilliant!! Someone needs to make this happen!!!!!
Readers can like or dislike any books they want...
BUT IF YOU DONT LIKE MISS PEREGRINES IM COMING FOR YOU BRO😂😂😂
XD
Dang.
Dont kill me!!! It just wasnt the book for me😂. But i loved the movie though😂. Lol
I really want to read it, but I'm broke... :((( And my library only has it in Dutch, not English and I love reading in English!
FireBow You might be able to get it on kindle (ebook) or on Amazon, since i believe it isn't too expensive and should be available in English😊
Lol I only do the hate reading thing on wattpad or of I know someone who's read the book , but it's on sad books that I know will piss me off or make me cry like on wattpad *"The Heartbroken Heartbreaker"* that book crushed my soul.
I feel very bad were I recomend a book or a series to some that I know, and then they end up hating or not loving it. I feel sad because I wasted someone's time and or money.
Preach Jessie, I don't understand that either!🙋
nobody:
jesse:
*is relatable*
Yes Jesse....
Being a Game Of Thrones fan is really difficult
i lovveee this kind of videos and i can relate so muchhh. please continue making these videos!!
Readers unite
Some readers hate on the book they are reading because they might have to read the book for school, university/college, work ect. When I was younger I would hate the books I would have to read for school.
this is one of my fav. videos ever not only in your channel but on youtube
YES EARLY!!!!
Jesse, thank you infinitely for that sequels video. I just finished Warcross, and that video was more helpful than you know.
Sophie the Jedi Knight uhh same here! I need book two!!!
I actually ask for spoilers and read the last page first. Just because I hate surprises and I like trying to put everything together and try to guess all the plot twists. But then again that’s just me.
Oliver Kelsey I dont actually ask for them or something, but i do like to read the last sentence, or the last paragraph (thats just exciting. and the last sentence rarely gives away a lot) and it never ruins a book/movie for me if i know something happening. Actually in one movie i knew how a character was supposed to die and everytime they did the thing i was super engaged like „Noo, this is too early. is it happening now? Whew, they made it.“
I love your rants, Jesse 😂
This is so relatable! I think it is sad in general that some people feel the need to put others down. And yes, I HATE spoilers, I don't even watch trailers because I want to know absolutely nothing. And as a person who is OBSESSED with GoT, the struggle is real. I am so afraid of season 8 leaks.
Yesss I hate when people tweet or instagram the author of a book hate, it's just crazy. But oh well people will do whatever they want
HAHA I relate so hard. especially for #2, we should all be one happy family!
also do you plan on making a ship of the dead video when it comes out?
of course! i'm so excited for ship of the dead!
People who spoil other readers just noooooo
For all your things, I was all "Yes to that...and that...and this...and. . ."
I think it's great when people enjoy reading. (Period.) If they LOVE what they read, all the better! I don't care what they're reading, I just get a little thrill when they read. (I also feel especially thrilled to find boys who love reading. Love you, Jesse! 😀😍❤)
You are such an adorable bean, Jesses. Love you!
Yes so relatable Jesse!
AMEN JESSE
I absolutely love how much you post 😍😍 every time I open RUclips I see something new from you and it makes my day
I was reading pjo and looking for fanart and then i saw those spoilers and even spoilers for hoo
*plays a sad song*
I do the first thing
To lessen my TBR pile
And why not admit it?
To tell my friends
Jesse.........PREACH !!!!!
This was a fun watch. My friend introduced me to a lot of books, but never ended up finishing the series. That's how I found you, and other booktubers. That is how I get my discussion on via watching a review video and then commenting.
Yessss, preach Jesse because I don't get any of that either, especially the judging.
I definitely relate
YOU HAVE THE LUNAR CHRONICLES ON YOUR BOOKSELF 🤗😂 I LOVE THE BOOKS!!!!
I literally love you Jesse
Yes, I feel ya Jesse. It's so hard to avoid spoilers online ;)
My Best friend only reads Bestsellers and I read book I enjoy. It doesn't matter to me how popular they are. And she says I'm weird because I also read book which aren't famous🤔
Melissa XoXo I also read books that aren’t famous! I think it’s great because we’ve read it before other people😄
Same! My favourite author is Algernon Blackwood, who wrote supernatural stories (including some great horror tales) back in the early 20th century. He's easily the most talented writer I have ever read, but almost nobody talks about him. It makes me kind of sad that people would rather just grab whatever book everyone else is reading than look for something a bit different. If you look beyond the bestseller list, you can find writers who really connect with you!
You mentioned that so let me tell you jesse, i'm currenty watching season 2 of game of thrones and i promise i know every single person who is going to die in the next seasons :)
+Paulina Lysko oh wow!
This video is so true! I get so much judgement because my favourite book is the fault in our stars, like just let people like what they like!
The satisfaction of finishing a book, sometimes when I am reading a book and I don't like it very much, sometimes I will get rid of it, other times it's that feeling of having finished yet another book in your collection that keeps me going.
a little random but his eye colour matches his shirt 😂😂
"You like romance? Oh you must be pathetic and single!"
My friend actually got this one.
One thing I don’t understand about some people is how they hate books they’ve never even read. My sister hates Harry Potter and she’s never even read them like that’s sad
Most of my class hates Harry Potter and they haven't even tried them. The books are awesome!!
YES POINT THREE!!! I COMPLETELY AGREE!!
It hurts my soul when I see YT videos that legit just bash on a series or books and it HURTS.
yes, yes, yes yes!
An extension of the people who 'hate read' books.. I totally agree, but I also don't understand people who are aware they aren't going to like the book but read it and then go and troll the community of people that love the book and either a) post spoilers of major plot points or b) attack other people's feelings about the book just because they don't like it and it's an otherwise very popular franchise. It's a-okay not to like a book and to have your own opinion of why you didn't like it personally, but don't deliberately do it just to have ammunition against those people that do... rant over :D
Fantastic video, Jesse
Exactly! People always ask on Facebook book groups, "I'm reading this book and am just struggling to get through it. How to you get through a book that you're not enjoying?" And I always respond with, "I don't." There's no point in reading a book that you are not enjoying! Reading is supposed to be pleasurable!
*Sees Lunar Chronicles in the background*
*Dies*
I do sometimes read books that I think I'm not going to enjoy for two reasons ; the first is simply that I might be wrong, I find that books are often surprising and I actually think that none of my favorite books have very interesting synopsis, the second is just that I find it interesting to try to understand why I don't like a book, be it the characters, the writing or whatever so I'll know better what to look for in the future but also to not repeat those elements in my own writing. Also I'm like that with movies as well but I really don't need a book to be great to read it, I can always find (little) things I like even in books I hate, if that makes any sense. For example, I absolutely hate The Perks of Being a Wallflower because I find the main character to be extremely biased so I didn't get to experience the world or to think what I wanted of the other characters, I was told what to think and that is something I can never live doing, be it in real life or in books but I still think that the story was good and I know the book helped a lot of people that have experienced the same things as the main character so I'm glad I read it anyway. Hope I could help you a bit !
+Morgane KRAUTH thanks for your input! loved reading this comment & hearing your perspective! :)
jessethereader You're welcome ! And thank you always for your videos, I really love them !! :)
You are officially my favorite person on the internet 😂😂😂
Your book shelf is absolutely amazing and your eyes are very pretty! Just like to compliment people! Have a great day! 😁
#relatable 😂💖
I really understand how many people buy books they hate just to have something bad to say about it ;))
Preach my friend, PREACH!
I've had people/readers judge me for how fast I can read but tbh im like that because i dont read 24/7 someone will like complain or judge me for not finishing a book in a day that how bad it is. Oh i've also had people judge me for how long a book is and for what book like dude wtfrog
Totally relatable. I also hate when people are reading a book and they are hating it but they keep reading and every time you talk to that person they say something like “Yeah, I am hating this book”. Well then, stop reading that book. I also can't understand when people spoil books. It annoys me the worst. They make reading 400 pages seem not quite as enjoyable. Love your videos. Hope you have a nice day!
Inella Lifestyle Exactly! People always ask on Facebook book groups, "I'm reading this book and am just struggling to get through it. How to you get through a book that you're not enjoying?" And I always respond with, "I don't." There's no point in reading a book that you are not enjoying! Reading is supposed to be pleasurable!
Maia Sitter Totally agree. If you're hating a book, stop reading it 🙄
I don't like unfinished books so if Im hating it I skip generously to the end, and if by a miracle its good or makes sense I might reconsidering rereading more parts.
Oh mah lord, never been this early before. Notification squad, where you at? 🔔
PREACH, JESSE!!!
I agree with all your points especially the judging part. Let people read what they want and you read what you like. What tends to drive me crazy is when people go crazy over bashing books and then insisting people need to read a certain book even when they know that person isn't into certain ones.
Me laughing, yelling, crying at the same time
People: are u mentally stable
I start laughing at a book
My brother: what’s so funny?
Me: well there is this one character, and she....
Half an hour later:
So that’s what’s funny
Brother: um... ok. Why do I even ask??
All of the things mentioned are just something i will never wrap my mind around hah you're absolutely right!
sooooooooo relatable!!!!! my sister spoils me about everything: divergent, allegiant, mockingjay, CITY OF BONES!!!!!!!! everything
I'm early YASS YASS YASS
Omg I love your profile picture :)
Manou Gerards thanks so much
1st
I agree with you Jesse! I have been so judged by others for having to "many books" at one point, that was all the comments i used on the videos
I mainly watch these videos because of jesse's packed library i just wish i'd have one like that I'd never do homework just sit and read
Can i not just like my comment alone ? ;))
you okay?
Yes i am fine thanks :)) nice meeting you here book friend ;))
Completely agree. I'm not much of a fan of Sarah J Maas books and every time I've given her books one star reviews, I ALWAYS get the fangirls telling me to kill myself...like what?!?! It's a book! It's not real! -facepalm-
Same, the only SJM books I really liked were everything Throne of Glass BEFORE Queen of Shadows and ACOMAF. Didn't care for ACOTAR, hated ACOWAR, and yeah lol. Haven't read much in Tower of Dawn yet, but I heard good things and I love Chaol so... we shall see. I've been told that many times too, but I continue to read them to see if SJM improves. Also, I'm already invested in the story, and ToG is gonna end real soon anyways. And I also keep reading ToG because I love a few side characters (Manon, Elide/Lorcan, Chaol, Lysandra). Don't really care about the others, I used to love Dorian and Celaena and I liked Rowan in Heir of Fire but that's it. :/ Yeah, I think a lot of younger readers (12 and younger) probably read her books and get more offended when they realize other people *gasp* think differently! Lol I don't even say anything back at this point, there's honestly no use.
I finished the new owl crate book and it was CRAZY AMAZING like it was one of those books you read in one sitting
This video is just YASSSSSSSSS!!! Thank you!
Maybe they want to tell the author how bad there book is and if didn't want "hate" they should not have made the book if could not handle it
There's also polite ways to say those things. And the author probably loves their book and spent a lot of their time into the making of it. It's just rude and mean to throw hate at a author just because you don't like their book.
Plus, do you want really want to be seen as an ass on Twitter. Because social media is actually public.
Sofia R so we should kiss there feet even if there books are a piece of trash
Obviously not. If you don't like a book, that sucks, I get it. So write a negative review on Goodreads, film a review on it, whatever. But _don't_ tag the author in said negative review. Authors know to be cautious when looking into reviews because they know negative ones exist. There is no need for you to make an effort for them to see your review. Because what do you gain? You just hurt an artist, that's it. You might hate their work but the thing is, there's someone out there doing this to authors you love. Don't be that person. There's no need to be cruel.
tl;dr: It's perfectly fine to hate a book. It's fine to say so online. But it's not fine to shove those painful words in the creator's face.
Sofia R so what if I or someone hurts there feelings they need to an adult and deal with it.
Amen. Well said on all points!
My boyfriend is currently reading my favorite book series for the first time and GHHAAAHHH it's an exercise in self control to not spoil the next chapter!
DUUUDEEE THE GAME OF THRONES THING WAS SO ACCURATE
I agree. It drives me crazy when people do that
I love your videos sooooooo much!!!
Urrrr!!!! I hate spoilers too!!!! And I am also a fan of GoT so I know how it feels to read or watch spoilers without wanting it!!! It's so frustrating (whenever there is a new episode, my priority is to completely avoid social media. That's the only way)!! The same happens with books! I just can't understand.
Your book collection is my dream
PREACH JESSE
I agree! I also don't understand when people freak out about cracking spines, dog-ears, and writing/highlighting in books. Books are meant to be looooooved!
Preach Jesse preach!!
I am so motivated. Now I am wishing I had such I big book shelf
