Thanks for all your support!
Booktuber's bookshelves give me life.
same lol
jessethereader I can keep watching people talking about books aaaaaallll day!!
I'm one of those people that can't just leave a series.. I. Need. To. Finish.
I'm like that in most cases, but I have really hate how a story is going and I have to buy the books to read them, it will go unread, because books are expensive enough without me wasting money on ones I don't enjoy.
Saaaame
Me too
It pisses me off that things like these are deemed 'controversial'. Like, if I don't like something (A BOOK) how is that anyone's business?
I so agree with this statement.
I don't think there's any series that I'm not planning on finishing (yet). I'm stuck in that mindset of "I have to finish the series or else," even if I don't like the books that much.
Crayonfactory I'm exactly the same, I've got lots of books series as presents for birthday and Christmas so I also feel compelled to read them as I don't want people to have wasted their money. I've definitely been done with books but powered through.
Chloe Styles I know that feeling. My family used to get me books that you'd find in the grocery store and though they're almost always outside of my interests I read them anyway. My dad got me a history book while he was on a trip and he was so excited for me to read it that I would've felt bad if I didn't. Luckily it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Crayonfactory aw it's always a nice thought but grocery store books are...well pretty bad. Oh good you can't let him down so you had to read it. I hope you at least learnt some history facts 😂
Ashley Kendall yeah that's true you get some good books from series but yeah I've found a lot of weird erotic books too, I got one once about vampires couldn't get past the first page 😬
Chloe Styles Yeah, one of the books I got one time I had to refuse to finish because it got very.. explicit. I thought I could just skip that and be fine but this was one of those pages-long obviously no one buys this for the story type of books so I just got rid of it.
3 years ago : Quarantine book * exist *
3 years later : Quarantine came back to life
I was looking for this comment🤣
I'm not finishing the divergent series... I got distracted from reading allegiant by reading other series and at this point I'm just not interested anymore. I already know what happens and I have so many other books to read sooooo ya 😄
ikr I don't want to finish the story either and Insurgent gets a bit boring at times.
I'm not finishing that series either, the first one was good but not amazing, and I got totally spoiled for the rest of the series
EighteenDiamonds agreed, I loved Divergent. But the 2nd book (see? I even forgot what's it called) was just... meh.
I don't plan on finishing the series either, plus yeah i got spoiled!! i read a while back divergent and loved it, then my cousin lent me the 2nd book but i never got around to finish it and since i only own the 1st book i lost interest in the series plus i saw the movies
i have all 3 books but haven't bothered to read any of them and at this point I dunno if i will. :/
Ok, Quarantine!! Who is the author.... Is he a time traveller or what😅😅
Separating the author from the book....
I mean I like John Green, he’s a nice guy, fun and witty but unfortunately his books are not just for me. I dunno, I’m sorry but I kinda found them boring. I tried to like them but I just can’t
I agree with you on that; you're not alone XD
Ravenclaw Nerd you know how you pick up a book bc it’s popular and you heard many good things about it but you just end up forcing yourself to finish it? That’s me with john green’s books in a nutshell
EksDeeDum I loved Fault in Our Stars but didn’t click with Looking for Alaska, at all.
I love The Fault In Our Stars..idk if I should pick up any of his other book. Any recommendations?
@@ender4344 honestly, don't. It's not even worth the hype. No offence though.
I agree! Time is limited, so why spend it forcing yourself reading something you aren't enjoying? I too gave up on the beautiful creatures series (among others...).
Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking this way!
0:21 that book reminds me of something. I can’t but my finger on it but it kinda maybe sounds like what if going on (or was in March).
Quarantine... whoa, 4 years later that feels different.
Jesse, you'll probably be horrified to know I'll probably not be finishing the Miss Peregrine trilogy. Not that I didn't like it, but I've completely forgotten what happens in the second book and I feel too lazy to reread.
+sorry, i cant think of a cool name name That's okay! You could try a recap of book one, but if you don't feel like it, it's okay. :)
sorry, i cant think of a cool name name yeah its definitely one for details that are needed to know in order to continue. If you don't feel like rereading I definitely recommend the audiobook as the narrator is great but if that's not your thing I wouldn't push yourself into reading it without intrest as you will probably end up not enjoying it as much as you'd like.
Or read the graphic novels!! it's a super quick recap :)
its funny you mentioned the Beautiful Creatures series, cause I abandoned it for the exacr same reasons. I loved the first book, and I might even go back and re-read it in the future, but second book was too convoluted for me and I didnt like the character development.
sorry, i cant think of a cool name name i DNF mis peregrines' series, too but coz i didn't like it.
excuse me the Quarantine book is so reall in 2020 lolllllllll
Hmmm
Quarantine i see... oh 2020!
I started Miss Peregrines but I'm not sure if I'll ever really finish it
It's worth it for Library of Souls, I promise! It's okay if you still don't want to finish it, just trying to give some encouragement!
ᎪᎡᎢᏚY ᎪᏙᎬᎡᏆᎬ oh really? Like I have hallow city and when I plan to sit and read it I can never really get through it but I've heard great things about book 3 so I'll definitely need to try pick it back up again
I'm pretty good at forcing myself to read series i've started, even if it takes a bit longer to get through. I hated the Matched trilogy, so I bought a book I REALLY wanted to read and told myself that as soon as I finished, I could read that book. I still haven't finished Miss P's yet either, I want to before the second movie comes out.
BoneStudios15 me too! I hardly read the first book and I felt so annoyed all the time, don't know why, didn't enjoy it at all
BoneStudios15 the first and the second books are brilliant but the last one is rubbish.
I actually have the mindset that once I commence reading a series, I must finish reading it. I feel uncomfortable just giving up on something midway.
That's why I'm going to continue reading the _Thrones of Glass_ series.
The second and third books are slow, but if you can get through them the fourth and fifth ones are worth the wait!!!!!
Jon Snow [Targaryen] [DAKINGINDANORF] Personally, I loved the first two books, but I'm a little meh about the rest of them. I still want to finish them because I've grown attached to a lot of the characters and the action scenes are really well written. The biggest downside about these books for me is some of the problematic behavior of some of the main characters. I really don't like the way they act but I still find them worth the read, cause they're still very entertaining.
Yeah, I'm into the last few chapters of the first book and I'm starting to enjoy it more and more now. I think the thing that pissed me off the most about the book was the constant reminder that Celaena is supposed to be the best assassin *_ever_* and how she could do __ if she wanted to yet not actually displaying any behaviours or actions of an assassin. She acts more like a noble lady and is more worried about love and her looks. But once I began to ignore this idea, I began to like the book. Hopefully it gets better.
(I'm putting a minor spoiler alert here, in case you're really cautious about spoilers)
Kind of funny for you to point that out, I never thought about it, but you've opened my eyes xD
Btw, for me personally, I liked the fact that we had a badass female character who also liked clothes, reading and all that stuff. There's nothing wrong with being a "tomboy", in fact I enjoy characters like that, but I also appreciated that Throne of Glass kind of broke that majority of those kind of character for me.
Yeah, I personally didn't find her very badass. Maybe there was a tiiiiiiiny bit of badass in her blood but for me it was barely noticeable. This is probably because I've read books like _The Song of Ice and Fire_ series where even some of the very feminine females, or females who aren't supposed to be badass in a physical type of way are stronger than Celeana. I felt like Celeana was a character fashioned by an author who wanted to please young female readers. Idk?
2020 basically the book quarantine
3:13
I've been forced to separate my opinion of Harry Potter from my opinion of JK Rowling. That series was my childhood and I still adore it, but Rowling is just not a good person (queerbaiting, being a TERF, the cursed child, etc.)
The book quarantine basically explains the 2020 mind blown
For me Delirium was amazing but the series goes down hill from there.
I really liked the second book (Pandemonium), but I agree that the third book is not good and the ending is very unsatisfying. I loved the writing style though, and enjoyed the little poem-like passage at the end (although it doesn't count as a proper ending!!).
I actually didn't enjoy the second or third book. I felt a disconnect from all the characters and it just didn't do it for me. But I agree that the ending is not an ending. I'm alright with an open ending, but it just didn't fit well. I felt like there needed to be another book.
I actually didn't like the first book that much but it was ok so I read the second AND IT GOT SO MUCH BETTER IN THE NEXT BOOKS. I just really liked the characters more and the story and everything. I'm okay with the ending although I agree there could have been better ways to end the story. but I really love that last passage though
Nihenpiaoliang
Yeah the last passage was amazing. I just think the rest of the end could have been a little more closed.
I loved the Delirium series, but I can also see your point and I was a bit disapointed with the ending because I expected a bit more but I found that as you continued to read the rest of the books, you could find out so much more about the backgrounds of the characters. The writing style was great and I loved the creativity and the poetic feelings, especially in the first book. In my opinion, I did not enjoy Pandemonium as much but I found that the first book was better and I think that nearly all the characters were great and well established.
I don't think I will finish the Miss Perigrinne's series because I read the first book and it wasn't really my style. I had a hard time putting myself into the story.
Matteah Davis yeah totally agree.
Matteah Davis me too
I will try to finish though because Jesse loves it
I'm not even halfway through the first! Much more I need to read so it kinda dropped down the priority list lol.
You should at least try to finish. The second and the last book will give you shocking revelations and more plot twist. And as I know, there will be new series about Miss Peregrine and the peculiar children and will continue their peculiar story to US.
I didn't know why everyone hated Orson Scott Card until I googled "Why Does Everyone Hate Orson Scott Card".......now I know
Kaitlyn Carroll I didn't know why everyone hated Orson Scott Card until I saw a comment that said they didn't know why everyone hated Orson Scott Card until they googled "Why does everyone hate Orson Scott Card" and figured it out, so then I googled "Why does everyone hate Orson Scott Card" and now I myself know....
LOLOL
I know-he thinks people should never be allowed to write Fanfiction! He needs to do everyone a favor and leave this world
Skeeter Jeff woah. Isn’t that a bit extreme???
Same...
Honestly its not worth it to finish the Beautiful Creatures series aha def not worth the time!
I totally agree
For me it's the Fifth Wave trilogy, but I'm still not completely sure yet if I ever will continue with it, but I do know it won't happen anytime soon. I loved the first book, but then I didn't pick up the second book immediately when it came out and I forgot a lot of stuff about it. I still have some hope that I will finish the series, but again, I don't know when that will ever happen.
Saaaammee
I'm not finishing the Selection series! I read the first book, and a little bit of the second, but it didn't grab me in any way.
Jessica Tran don’t worry there’s nothing to miss anyway
Jessica Tran awwww I love that series. it's my second favorite
Jessica Tran it's my fav series, but i know the story and series isn't for everyone!! :-))
I agree with you. I loved the first three books but then I started reading The Heir and I didn't like it as much as I loved the first three books. I didn't even know that it wasn't America and Maxon's story before I started reading it. I'd love to know more about America and Maxon but Eadlyn, I just think that she's annoying. Its been months since I started reading The Heir, I haven't finished it yet and I don't know if I'm going to.
Those were the First YA books that i read, and i hold them close to my heart, but i tried Reading It again and It was mehh
I really liked Eadlyn though
I am watching this in 2020 when he talked about quarantine I releated to the book so much stuck in lockdown
Beautiful darkness just confused the hell out of me. It felt random and I was soooo mad because the first one was so promising!
Now. I can relate with the first book in the video
So the series I don't see me ever finishing (but I might change my mind) is honestly any of Cassandra Clare's books. I don't know why per say... I read City of Bones and I enjoyed it a lot and I have the first of the other series... clockwork... something? I couldn't get into that and by the time I could get my hands on the second book to City of Bones I had lost interest. I couldn't understand the hype and didn't want to read it anymore. It makes me slightly sad because everyone on Booktube seems to love it but I just couldn't get myself to continue.
I love reading the comments on these types of videos, so many different perspectives
Don't feel bad about not finishing series you're not enjoying! I used to be the same way and force myself to finish all series, but I feel a lot better after throwing away that mindset. Thanks for sharing!
I'm not finishing the Queen of the Tearling series because I thought the first book was hecka boring and bland, so I can't see myself enjoying the other books.
OMG You reorganized your bookshelves!! I love how they look
I think I won't finish The Throne of Glass series. The third book started pretty slowly and I have attempted to read it 3 times but I don't have an interest in it much. Also I don't ship Celeana and Dorian.
Understandable! That series is a bumpy ride.
yeah, I couldn't get pass the first book of that series
The main two ships are Rowaelin and samlaena
Jenna Poole I know! I turned out absolutely LOVING the books once I got passed the 2 one though.
But reaaad it it's amazing the third book starts slow but after like page 200 it gets so much better give it another chance u won't regret it.
I wish my list was as short as yours. I have a major problem with finishing series. Some of them I do still want to finish, but its been so long since I read the beginning books that I'll have to re-read them.
0:33 The plot in this book seems oddly familiar... did it just predict 2020?
I am definitely not going to continue The Maze Runner, I felt like the writing style wasn't for me and the plot was interesting but something about the way it was explained and put out just bored me.. I enjoyed Miss Perigrine's Home For Peculiar Children, the concept was interesting. but at this moment I have a lot of other books that i'm way more interested im, so I'm not sure if i'll continue the series or not.
I don't think I'll ever get around to finishing The Mortal Instruments series, which is probably blasphemy, but you know what? I honestly didn't really like City of Bones; the story and the characters fell really flat for me. Maybe one day? (Although I've gone this long without it so I'll probably survive!)
And hey, everyone's allowed to have an unpopular opinion! :)
I have never read the books and with the fandom and drama surrounding the author I don't really have a desire to read them. But, I find myself liking the Shadowhunters show in a guilty pleasure sort of way lmao.
I've never seen the show, either! I keep seeing it on Netflix, but I guess my interest just isn't really there. Maybe someday!
I actually like the Cassandra Clare's books, I have read all of them and liked all of them. But the thing was, is that the chapters that did contain good content were buried between chapters that dragged on and on without progress.
And this might come as a shocker to you, but really I would say the series really isn't worth trying to force yourself to read because the books were unnecessarily long. If some of the chapters that just dragged on were taken out, then I would say the series was worth reading.
I'm sorry if this is confusing. I'm not a "let me explain what I mean" type of person.
I totally understand that, Maria. One thing I've noticed this year is that I'm just not as willing to force myself through books as I used to be (and that's okay, too - changing reading tastes and all that). I think the important thing is just knowing what we do like to read. I know lots of people love Clare's books and that's great - I have no issue with that at all! :)
+Noveltea Corner
And I totally agree with you. And you shouldn't have to force yourself to read something you're not interested in, because that just takes away time that you could be spending on books you are interested in.
I just finished the first Peculiar Children book and was surprised at the maturity in the writing, it is better than I thought it would be :)
I don't think I will continue Dorothy Must Die: I liked it a lot at first, but really the world didn't seem that developed to me and I had no emotional attachment to the characters.
Ellie Shuert I get you! Plus after book one SHE DIDNT EVEN KILL DOROTHY
I know where you bought that shirt! I was at Target the other day with my boyfriend and I really wanted him to buy it but he said it looked like bathroom tile. I'm so glad you own it, it looks great on you. I'm gonna buy it for him for Christmas and tell him my favorite book tuber wears it and so should he.
Jesse says bout quarantines idea being interesting....
Me watching in 2020: really?
I feel the same way as Jesse about separating the art from the artist, or book from the author. Except, I don't feel bad that I can't separate the two. Because because the 2 go hand and hand and I wouldn't want to support someone that wouldn't treat or support me the way I wanted.
Who else clicked this video in 2020 and the first book he shows is quarantine.........
I like how you reorganized your bookshelf!
Don't kill me but I'm not gonna finish The Throne of Glass series. It's not that I don't like it, but I only read the first book way before it was popular on book media and I don't feel like rereading it.
I DNF book one of this series and have no interest in picking it back up in the future. On the other hand, I'm desperately waiting for "A Court of Wings and Fury".
I mean, that would have been an opinion one would have been flayed over-well, when you posted this-but now it’s kinda fallen into a bin and nobody likes the series anymore.
idk if it's just me but I feel like we're seeing more of your bookshelves and they're beAUTIFUL AND I LOVE THEM
I was really worried you were going to say Falling Kingdoms. So ahh... have you continued on with them yet?
Jesse ,you're my fav book tuber
I'm not planning to finish Miss Peregrine's Home. I don't know, it just wasn't for me. I think the first book was okay (three stars), but I've tried twice now to read the second one but I just can't. I just lost interest.
That's okay! At least you tried reading them!
jessethereader And that's the first book you recomended that I didn't like. I loved This Savage Song, More Happy Than Not, Dash and Lily's and a lot more. ;)
Jesse your bookshelf is amazing!!😻😻 so many amazing books!
The divergent series. Ever since my friend spoiled it for me, I feel like there's no point on reading them 😪
haha understandable! sorry you were spoiled though.
Omega Life - there really isn't... Like, after the first book the series kind of goes downhill
Preach it ! That was awesome I give you props I can't steer away from series once I start I feel such a strong connection and obligation just to finish even if I have to skim through chapters and the worst is when your already hearing negative things about a book ahh ! Book struggles happy reading
Not pertaining to the video buttttt:
THANKS JESSE FOR MAKING ME READ ELEANOR AND PARK AND HAVING MY HEART BROKEN WITH THE ENDING😂😭
omg that ending!
+jessethereader
Yes! I couldn't read another book for a while! I cried so hard!
Jenna I LOVE THAT BOOK! It tore my little heart to pieces 😢
I just bought Eleanor and Park a few days ago but I haven't picked it up yet. I'm now very scared. 😂😂😂
WELL THE FIRST BOOK AGED PRETTY WELL THIS YEAR
Is the author of the book Quarantine a seer?!
He literally predicted 2020
LOL
That’s exactly what I was thinking while watching. 😂
Merry Christmas Jesse!!! Thank you for lightening up my days with your videos, even if they're controversial ones! :D
merry christmas to you! thanks for commenting on my videos.
MERRY X-MAS BOOK FRIENDS 🦄
merry christmas!
XxStrawburryCakexX ! merry Christmas
I'm watching this in quarantine 😂😂
Definitely not finishing the Dorothy Must Die series. I couldn't even get through the first half of book one, I was so bored and the author made sly jabs at groups of people who haven't done anything wrong (i.e. pregnant teens), and the main character was awful.
Ditto! I loved the concept of DMD, but the writing was lackluster and story was rubbing me the wrong way. I managed to read the whole book, but it put me into a reading slump & NO to finishing the series!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one! I was so excited to read an Oz retelling, which made me all the more disappointed :(
Why your videos are so good? They makes me feel happy.
ah! thanks so much. your comment made ME happy!
You're welcome :D
mortal instruments DX i read the first two but never managed to convince myself to read the others
that's okay! they're not for everyone & I even struggled my way through a few of them.
jessethereader that makes me feel so much better not finishing them :3
I read the first two and I didn't like them that much but then I read the third one and the rest of the books and oh my God, let me tell you I love that world! 💜📚
Yeah I totally understand why you didn't enjoy the first two books (those were the hardest to push through in my opinion) but the third one is sooooo much better. If you ever want to pick them up again, you should just dive straight into City of Glass.
I can't finish the beautiful creatures series too!! It just feels droning on and on and I can't bring myself to complete it! And I absolutely LOVE Ms Peregrine's home for Peculiar children!!
What's the deal with Orson Scott Card?
stratchic he's a homophobic asshole, who used to be a board member of some nutter right wing "traditional marriage" board that actively fundraised and donated money to organisations that help imprison gay people in third world countries. They also contributed to and funded anti-gay marriage rallies and court appeals to reverse gay marriage and whatnot.
He had some pretty strange views on war, government, he compared Obama to a Hitler or Stalin type dictator....
Welp Throwing his book away.
M_29a he's not really as big in the YA mainstream community. Because his fan base have aged considerably since then but you may have heard of his biggest hit novel, Ender's Game.
well I know what to use for fire starter now
0:32 was pretty much pretense for 2020
You should donate those books, maybe someone will enjoy reading them.
WHOOO JESSE I FINISHED THE FIRST BOOK OF MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN TODAY...I am in love with it so farrr. I can see why you love it so much. Ready to get the next two books:)))
Great video though. You're so animated and it makes the videos really enjoyable to watch!
I'm not gonna be finishing the Dorothy Must Die series. I just can't get over what the author did and the second book was just kinda a disappointment.
I can't get through the first half of the first book, it had me in tear of boredom!
NerdyAwesome she stalked (and sent death threats I think)to a person who gave the book a bad review.
Kaulana Peters SERIOUSLY?!
Hey Brekker! From what I can remember. This all happened just after the second book was published.
Hey Brekker! Nice username btw.
I love hos little out tro song he sings. Jesse is adorable.
*his
In a way, Quarantine sounds kinda of like Gone the book, but I could be totally wrong!
Its very different from that one actually. I did read the second Quarantine book, it was okay. I thought the first one was better. I mainly read them for my yearly alphabet challenge (needed books that started with Q) But the Gone series by Michael Grant is way better than Quarantine.
while jessie talked about it, quarantine reaaallllyyyyy reminded me of the plot to a netflix original series called between, in which a small town gets infected by a virus that kills everyone older than like 22 i believe and the government (wait for it) quarantined the whole town and left those who survived to basically fend for themselves... its a really interesting series and it holds an uncanny resemblance to the little bit i heard of the plot to this book, quarantine. hahahaha
xx
Carol Sargologos That's exactly what I was thinking of! 😊👍🏽
noooo!!! not Quarantine!!!!! I loved that series! the first and second books are the best. the third was definitely heart wrenching, the final ending was a little bit disappointing, but I definitely don't regret reading it. I even got my dad to read them. so sad you won't be finishing it!
red queen, I tried reading the second book & it was so boring
I'm glad you mentioned that about the Shannara Chronicles. Terry Brooks is really hit or miss. I could not get into the word and the void, but I really enjoyed Armageddon's Children.
never read allegiant. I was spoiled and i just didn't care..
Your vids make me smile 😁🙌🏼 I'm naturally smiley but I smile more when I watch them and most of booktube
I couldn't and will never be able to finish the Grisha Trilogy, mainly because I just couldn't force myself to get past Mal. Mal was an awful character who seemed entirely one dimensional and when in the third book we find out that he had been a big part of Alina's fate all along... i just couldn't finish it. I couldn't.
I HATE MAL. I completely feel you on this!
Yup. I _adored_ SOC and CK, and liked KOS, even though it’s less highly rated, but I just couldn’t finish the first trilogy, and I still am not sure why.
OMG, I had no idea about Orson Scott Card! I never read Ender's Game or the rest of the series, but I really wanted to. Thank you for opening my eyes.
this is probably a super unpopular opinion but i read the first like 4 books of the mortal instruments series about 3 years ago and haven't read any more since and really don't want to so
enkoorsss same I got to like the 3rd book & stopped reading, it got so boring
Hi Jesse! I've just seen your Christmas Songs Book Tag you posted two years ago, and you mentioned The Mistborn Trilogy. I'm curious to know if you saw polish covers for this series. I think they are the most beautiful and amazing!
The author of Quarentine predicted 2020...
forgive my blasphemy but i would rather not finish The Raven Cycle series. i put it down when i was in the middle of The Dream Thieves about half a year ago. should i continue?
#UNPOPULAROPINIONS IM NEVER FINishing the Throne of Glass series because I hated how the second book went/ended (also Celaena was annoying imo) and I don't care how hot this elf guy supposedly is, no
Literally no one agrees with me and I get crap wherever I go 😂
Ramen I totally agree, I stopped too
Dana Naca - yayyy I'm not alone lol
I actually really like TOG but I have REALLY popular opinions like you. Like I don't like Percy JAckson and Harryy Potter lamo
Ramen I honestly didn't enjoy the first 2 books in the series but I decided to push on and when I got to the middle of the 3rd book, it got SOOO much better
hey it's A!
Your so right it's amazing. Then the fifth book... no words
Quarantine does seem very interesting, I'll have to research them.
Finally, I'm not the only one who prefers the shanara Chronicles show vs. the books.
I did finish the beautiful creatures series, but I honestly couldn't tell you what happens after the first book.
Great video!
❤Nicole
Throne of Glass cause I don't enjoy the characters.Same with her other series.
Her characters are pretty awful. I love the plot though.
I loved Divergent, but after getting the ending of book 3 spoiled. .I couldn't bring myself to even finish the series. I only got through the first one, which was good but, I didn't see a point in finishing it after already knowing the outcome. As for Beautiful Creatures, it's one of my favorite series. The book definitely has it's moments, but it's such an amazing series as you continue to read through the books
I'm not finishing the Passenger series by Alexandra Bracken. I really didn't like the first one and I just don't care what happens to these characters, so I won't read the second one.
Sarah's Nightstand I finally found someone that agrees!
Yes! We are in the minority, lol!
Sarah's Nightstand completely agree...I couldn't even get halfway through that book
Sarah's Nightstand yeah, I'm not sure if I want to, it didn't blow me away
Agree. It was kinda boring, I'm not invested in the characters and the time travel logic was just weird.
the same thing happened to me with the first book you talked about (difference series though) but after about 3 years of not picking up the sequel i went ahead and read it along with the next 10 books in the series (still more to be released!!) and its now my second favourite series of all time! i now can't imagine having never not read it !
One series I won't be finishing is the Lord of the Rings because I simply could not get through any of those looooong descriptions XD
OhSoAbby i still need to finish the third one and it has been almost a year
Maria Likes Books Should I give it another go?
Emma L. Did you like the first two?
Maria Likes Books Ok I'll try to get to it in the new year!!
Me too. I couldn't finish the first book.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's gotten into a reading slump over Beautiful Darkness!! I've tried twice and it reminded of New Moon by Stephany Myer with Bella and her drama queen moping
Omg that Author rant is so true! I got bored with Heir of Fire by SJM but then I watched her interviews and she was so nice I picked it back up(best decision ever)
I am also not finishing percy Jackson because I don't like the writing or Percy
And I wont finish Harry Potter, because I don't like J. K. Rowling as a person
Aspen Copper I totally agree about the Rowling part. Can I ask why you don't like her?
Aspen Copper I like your take! SJM is so sweet but it's nice to see someone else who isn't a big JK Rowling dan. I don't like her as a person either personally. And also I felt like the Harry Potter series dragged.
I don't like that J. K. Rowling can just sell off two crappy scripts and make money off it. Also Harry Potter got boring too, and all of her other books get a ot of bad reviews.

Yeah totayl agree. It's so hard when everyone says it's the best thing ever and you can't get into it :T
Couldn't agree more! Initially I watched the movie first and I literally drowsed off half way, so definitely not planning to pick up the books period.
I wish I had your copies of the Delerium Trilogy! I was forced to get the ones with the new covers. I agree with you on the Beautiful Creatures though.
Unpopular opinion: I have no plans on finishing reading the Mortal Instruments series. I love the first book but I lost interest throughout the year.
Lianza D. Yeah it can be hard to go back into a world you've lost interest in. But if you ever think about picking it up again, it gets so much better, especially in City of Glass (3rd book).
It gets so good and the spin offs! I actually loved infernal Devices best
Yeah, I struggle so much when it comes to getting rid of books and not continuing with the rest of the series. I know one that I recently stopped was the Alice in Zombieland books by Gena Showalter? They're just started feeling really repetitive as the narrative dragged on.
I don't plan to finish the mortal instruments series....don't hate me!!!
no hate here! those books are fun, but totally understand that they're not for everyone.
TheStephano619 what book were you last on? There is one of the books that people get stuck on and it makes sense not to finish.
Merry Christmas! Love u jesse! And I feel the same way u felt in the intro of this video!:)
merry christmas to you!
I've heard Beautiful Creatures is just terrible :(
I liked the first book okay, but the second was a flop for me!
THE MOVIE WAS TERRIBLE! Two thirds of the movie didn't even make any sense. Believe me when I say the book was WAY BETTER than the movie.
But I have read the Beautiful Creatures series. I think it is worth reading. The 1st book was good. The 2nd, meh, not so much. The series did pick up a little in the third book. And I think the 4th was even better. But these are just my opinions.
Good idea on the Beautiful Creatures .... i just finished the last book and wow not really awesome. I liked the first one but the others left a lot to be desired... smooth move Jesse!
Thanks for your opinion on these books series your not gonna read,and I respect you for that 🙂
Thanks for watching & hearing me out!
His bookshelves are goals
I am very glad that Pjo was not in this video
of course not! :)
Mira Hunter sorry But I hate the series like anything. All the characters in Rick Riordan's world are always regretting about one thing or the other. Percy regrets his mum's abduction and blames himself for it, Anabeth thinks she's responsible for Thalia's misfortune of being turned into a tree, while Grover thinks it's his mistake. The series is clearly written for children who are below the age of 12
I respect your opinion. I have a question for you tho, have you only read the lightning theif?
Mira Hunter I've finished it somehow. It's just a rip off of Harry Potter. I'll explain you how.
1. The main characters in the series consist of 2 boys and a girl. Just like HP series.
2. Hermione in HP is the smart one, you know who's smart in PJ.
3. Percy isn't a smart person but is good in battling just like Harry.
4. Grover is timid and so is Ron.
5. Harry has invisibility cloak while Anabeth has cap of invisibility.
6. Smelly Gabe is unkind to Percy just like the Dursleys.
7. Camp Half Blood is just like Hogwarts. Just hidden by mist instead of enchantments.
8. Luke dies a hero despite being a villain in almost the whole story, just like Snape of course.
9. In Sea of Monsters, CHB is at the risk of closing, just like the second book in HP, Chamber of Secrets.
10. PJ series is based on a prophecy made by the oracle. Just like HP again.
Whatever you say, PJ is just a lazy work and Americanised HP version of Rick Riordan
I probably won't finish the young elites trilogy. I didn't really like the first one all that much but still decided to try the second one to give it another chance and I ended up hating it even more than the first one so I will probably not read the last one :(
