Me: “How many categories of Booktube videos can you fit in one video?”
Jesssethereader: “Hey! Hi! Hello! Yes.”
HAHAHA
Jesse thinking that we won't be interested on those books because they're not that known... HA! If only he knew that if I'm here it's because I'm interested in all what he wants and has to give us 😎✨
I was so happy to finally see your updates on Goodreads. I didn't mind the flood/"spam" at all, I was just so excited to see you on my feed again!! I'm really looking forward to regular your updates, I love seeing what you and my friends are reading at any given time.
Do bring wrap-ups back! It's so fun watching people talk about the books they're passionate about, the ones they loved and the ones they hated and even those that were just fine hhaha, it's also a great way to find new books and recommendations and a reason why my tbr is at around 550 books atm lol 📚
definitely leaning on committing to bringin them back!
Whenever you post I rush to watch, just always a great time here! Also I was watching some of your old videos so happy to get a new one 😊
Same!
aw! that makes me so happy. thank you! ❤️
@@missasissa 😊🙌
@@jessethereader 🥺❤️
Literally what I needed after such a tough week….this week drained me out, even my “therapist” friends got concerned, they’re like “bro this is too much and that is after we KNOW about your life” 😂
No but really, Jesse always makes my days brighter ❤
sorry that things have been rough! hang in there! ✨
@@jessethereader❤ trying my best
Just finished the book; A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. It was probably one of the best books I've read recently. Such a tear jerker, I bawled. Will be picking up more from Backman.
I am swedish so I’ve read his books for years. He is definitely one of my absolute favorite authors!!
I'd love for you to do Wrap Ups again! Book hauls, TBRs and Wrap Ups are the best about booktube!
I just have to say I have been watching your videos for years and I always love how real and relatable you are. You're a lot like me where the over thinking, doubtful, Jimmeny cricket talks really loudly sometimes. Don't let that Jimmeny win. All I have to say is stay true to you, read what speaks to your style, and countinue to share your enthusiasm with the world. Keep smiling my friend. I look forward to seeing more of your journey. Happy reading! 📚 😊
Ahhh Bruce Covilles "Book Of" series! I love those! The Skull Of Truth too!!!!
As for Goosebumps, YES!
I am in LOVE with that black and white stack of books during your book haul!
I like seeing other recs that aren’t the main stream. It’s wonderful!!
I love books hauls. Never apologise for a book haul!
Loved this video, especially when we were just vibing while you built the new bookshelf. Thanks for always bringing positive vibes!
SISTERS GRIIIIIIMMMMMM! Literally on par w/percy jackson
Loved how excited you were about the currently-reading style bookshelf! it was nice to hear a casual opinion about Goodreads vs Storygraph-I am so in between on the debate. Thank you for the video!
THE SISTERS GRIMM!!! I loved that series as a kid!!! 🤩
I really think you would enjoy the land of stories since you enjoyed the sister grimm it’s a middle grade series about two twins getting teleported where fairy tales are real
Leven Thumps....my childhood! I am obsessed with that series! It's about this war in this fantasy world called Foo, which is the realm of dreams. Leven Thumps is the chosen one; however, he's kinda useless because he knows nothing about Foo having been raised by his aunt in reality. Clover is a sycophant (basically like a mix between a house-elf and a cat) who has been assigned to Leven and carries around magical candy. Winter is a girl from Foo with cool ice powers who gets re-born into reality to help Leven. And Geth used to be incredibly powerful in Foo, but he got trapped as a tree when he came to the real world and got milled into a toothpick (or two. Yes, the most compelling character of this series is an angry toothpick.)
In all honesty, this series definitely feels like ATLA meets HP, but I would recommend it if you like both of those things.
Amazing! I definitely want to give it a go!
omg the cats in the bookshop r everything!!!!
I've got a couple of book recs and video ideas, but first: I'm reading House of Dragons which is good so far!
Book recs: Saint Death by Marcus Sedgwick if you want to feel something and Book by Robert Grudin if you like sentient footnotes and a mid-book Q&A with the author.
Video ideas: The first one is a reading challenge where you read some books from a Battle of the Books list. I did BoB all through middle and high school and thought you'd enjoy reading some of the books chosen. The second idea is for everyone to submit the craziest first lines of a book that they've heard. Jill Bearup did this on her RUclips channel and the results were hilarious!
I loved the video and I hope you have an amazing week!
I was feeling so low and I cannot tell you how happy I got when I saw your notification 😭💛
aw! hope you start feeling better! sending positive thoughts your way. ❤️
"Kappa" sounds interesting! I had no idea about its storyline, but I’d love to read it now!😆💚
Love the new haircut! And I'm currently only reading two books: Welcome to Dead House and The Thursday Murder Club.
I really like the "grab bag" for description of this videos :3 it reminds me of Aggie's magic bag from Halloweentown ✨
I love the Sister’s Grimm series! I read it in middle school and I was having serious nostalgia vibes hearing you talk about it. Might have to do a reread :)
LEVEN THUMPS? OHHHH MAN you unearthed a buried memory! I have to dig around to find my copies of that series, I remember loving them but that was probably more than a decade ago.
OHMYGOD THE SISTERS GRIMM!!!! I have the whole series burrowed away in my attic collecting dust and I’m inspired to read them again!
I was listening to you talking while doing chores and couldn't recognize it was Japanese kappa that you were talking about because the way you said "kappa" was just so cool.
the edgar allen poe collection looks lovely!
Yayayay, recent reads and book shopping and current reads, my favorites!
all the things!
I have the Billy Bookcases for my read books, and then I have 3 bracket hung shelves by my desk for my TBR. I find this really helps me stay organized with my books. I like having 2 areas for my books and that why I dont have to look through my bookshelves to find books that I havent read. Also, since the bracket hung shelves are much smaller.. it helps me not buy too many books. It forces me to read whats on my TBR and I know how many books I have to read before i buy more.
Ahhhh your videos are such a serotonin boost for me, and this is basically a three-in-one. Got to be my new favourite for sure. Thanks for everything you do xx
I want spine and floating bookshelves like yours!
this was so much fun, would love to see more like this
Love the grab-bag format! Really enjoyable to watch. And you can never have too many shelves lol - if I could bend space I'd cram more in my place as well.
I'm actually in between books rn, but I just finished The Wonder by Emma Donoghue and just... oh man. It was so well written but also left me with such complicated emotions dkfjhg. I'm considering We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson as my next read 😄
I'm soooo happy that you uploaded. I've been in a massive slump lately and your videos always help me get back into reading , so thank you for that. I'm gonna watch some more of your videos and get back into reading. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead❤
“Fake ikea wood” so true boo so true 😂😂
I had SO much fun reading Leven Thumps when I was in elementary school
I'm always happy when people talk about lesser known books. The sisters grim sound fun. I will definitely give them a go😊
I am sooooo interested in the Edgar Allen Poe books. I just wanna pick up graphic novels lately. Plus, I just remember loving the raven 🐦⬛ when I was young and never going much further than that at the time. I am more into books now as an adult & I recently moved to VA where his museum is located!🤞🏼 I go soon. Thanks for the great content 🥰
recently i read an arc of there's always next year by hanif abdurraqib and it was predictably PHENOMENAL. they can't kill us until they kill us is one of the best essay collections in existence and this new collection was similarly great, would definitely recommend even if you don't care about basketball (i barely know anything about basketball and some of the essays still made me cry over the sport!)
ive been wanting to get back into reading in the last few weeks but never had motivation (because mental health problems). but you always get me into a books mood lol thanks i think i can do it today
I'm reading The Troop by Nick Cutter. I just started part 2 and I am liking it so far. I am not sure if I would recommend it knowing the type of horror it is supposed to be. :)
Thanks for this video Jesse.
Love this style of video! Editing was superb and it contained all the bookish content my reader soul needed.
Glad the bookshelf didn't win in the end 😂
Currently reading Murder in the Family because it's written in a mixed media style which I absolutely love. So far so good! But like with most mystery/thriller novels, the ending will be what makes it or breaks it
Currently reading Divine Rivals. I thought I wouldn’t like it. But, it’s a quick read and I’m excited!
All your shelves are amazing! Loved the sit down chatty bit while you built your shelf. Now I want the TBR shelf and the floating shelves. What size floating shelves do you have? Totally agree. We should be getting regular Goodreads updates.
I always only had the green Bruce coville as a child so that story on the cover was always mysteriously incomplete to me. And yes we are interested in random book hauls
Great video! And we lovee hearing the niche books!! For me im still reading frankenstein and i do reccomend it, at the moment i lovedd like 5 star loved the start of the book...the middle was about a 3 star and were picking up a bit now im near the end :)😊
I love this video, all the categories I enjoy with booktube in one video. I 've been in my psychological thriller era now I'm getting back into reading. I recently finished Grimms Puppets by Tom Prater and Home Before Dark by Riley Sager, both of which I gave 5 stars, and 56 Day by Catherine Ryan Howard which I gave 4 stars.
Wow, I bought that same Poe book a very long time ago! Great reminder for the new Fall of the House of Usher show on Netflix too.
I just finished a cozy witch book, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches which was ok and now I'm reading The Near Witch by V.E. Schwab.
Always love your update vids 😁 You have a unique way of uplifting my mood, even when it's already good to begin with. I'm currently reading the Vortex Chronicles series bundle by Elise Kova - which is a sequel series to the Air Awakens series - currently on book 3. Also reading The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon. Both are pretty good imo.
Sister's Grimm is amazing!
Hey. Wow. This was a ride and I’m all for it. Just a few things, when shopping second hand, please look out for foxing- a book mold. There is false information that it’s ‘just ageing’ so people dnt take it seriously. But no, I lost 80% of my book collection last year - over 150 books (I’m a big time second hand book buyer) and it spread to so many new books, and the older ones and a few rare books where unsalvageable. Minor foxing can be treated with clove bud oil. But it’s something I won’t shut up about because ppl still be selling books with mold on them. Makes me so angry .
Second, loved the on floor chill while building the shelf, had some relaxed and chill - less ‘on’ for the cam vibes. Was so nice. Would love to see more on floor and chat vids.
My thoughts on the shelf, might want to put felt fabric or velvet down on the shelves to prevent paper tearing when sliding the books in and out of the shelves.. (i could have worded that better sorry), as some paper is kinda thin. Is be so scared using it lol. But it looks pretty. Well done on building it.
Thank you Jesse
ooh! thanks for all the tips!
That is a really cool bookshelf.
So happy to see more videos 🎉. Just finished Mexican Gothic 🍄, 50% through House of Salt & Sorrow 🐙 and about 20% into The Girl Who Drank the Moon 🌙. I’m loving both so far ❤
Current reads: Just finished The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty (physical book) and Got Your Number by Mike Greenberg and Paul Hembekides (audiobook); just started Shakespeare's Sonnets (physical book) and Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann (audiobook). I enjoyed The Rabbit Hutch, although the large cast of characters was at first a bit overwhelming, I like how it all tied together in the end. I highly recommend By the Numbers (a nonfiction book) to sports lovers. I just started Shakespeare's Sonnets and Killers of the Flower Moon today, so I can't give too much feedback on those just yet.
Hey Jesse, so my book I’m currently reading Hate List by Jennifer Brown and it definitely hits in the feels ❤ but I love to read books that make me feel something . You should definitely make a video of un hauling books because I find them super helpful just so I know what to watch for ❤ 😊 I’m proud of you for building your shelf it looks fantastic 🎉
Seven Wonders is the most underrated middle grade series in the world. It filled the Percy-shaped hole in my heart. I picked them up immediately after finishing the PJO series and the vibes are similar!
Sister Grimm is one of my favorite childhood series!! Currently in the process of collecting the entire series in hardcover.
I just finished "Rivers of London" which was tremendous fun. Starting The Master of Djinn. I read the prequel, which, though very short, was one of my favorite things I've read this year, so really looking forward to this.
I just finished Godkiller as a pallet cleanser before book 3 of Mistborn. It was absolutely fantastic and I cannot recommend enough!
I have really liked stoey graph...in fact im starting to use goodreads less because i love the stats but i still like goodreads for the giveaways, people, and end of year wrap up thing
just finished a book called sweet bean paste, translated from japanese, an ex-con gets pestered by an elderly lady until he lets her work at his dorayaki stand because his bean paste (and his self-worth) needs help. first book this year to have me sobbing hard enough not to see pages for like the last several chapters, but also so fucking affirming?? highly recommend
Storygraph can import your good reads shelves.
And there is a lot of active work (you can join the ranks of librarians to get more insights)
❤ I have to go to bed, too tired to think coherent thoughts about my current read😢 it’s very good- ACOTAR Book 3. I’m excited to finish it. I love Cassian
I've just read 'If we were villains' - SO GOOD ♥
I am absolutely fabulous at putting furniture together, given enough tries.
I had to almost completely disassemble a chair a couple of months ago, because I put the back on backwards.
My recent reads was a complete reread of the Murderbot Diaries, since book seven is coming out. Fortunately, it's five novellas and a not particularly long novel, so it took me three days.
Dude I'm so excited for you to read Skull of Truth; I lived and breathed Bruce Coville as a child, and I can say I like almost all of the Magic Shop Books (with an exception); I think you'll really like Skull of Truth and though it's not spooky, my personal fave of the Magic Shop books is Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher (so if you like Skull of Truth, check it out)
Leven thumps is fun. And don't wait until the end of the series to read that guide. About halfway through is the best place to read the companion.
And the seven wonders was fun. Especially in the first few books. Percy Jackson is better written but yeah they have similar vibes
Ohhh yes, do a book unhaul! And maybe even turn it into a giveaway for your subscribers (with international shipping) :D
Im currently reading “ If we were villains” as welll!!! Im really enjoying so far.
You should read the Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-Time!! It’s what brought me back to reading 😄
I love the new bookshelf 😍 you could decorate it a bit for Christmas too, it's so cute. I hope you like If We Were Villains, it's one of my top books of the year 🤗
I'm currently reading Once Upon A Broken Heart and I fully get all the hype, it's so good 😭 definitely recommend it
yes! love the idea of decorating it for Christmas!
The Sister's Grimm was a part of my childhood. I never finished the series though. I had trouble with finishing long series as a child, and my mum always had to order them in for me, so we often didn't know when the next one was coming out. I'm pretty sure my favourite was The Problem Child
I love this multi-topic video kinda thing! I’m currently reading lost in the never woods by Aiden Thomas, I’m only about 40 pages in but it’s really good. I’m also listening to the audiobook of the Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater which I’ve had going for about a month now 💀
We stan Pagination Bookshop
the best in town! (tho i love all our lil bookstores equally 😭)
THE JUMPER IS TOO CUTE ❤
ty! it’s so cozy.
I am currently reading the Falling Kingdoms series by Morgan Rhodes. I am in the 4th book in the series, Frozen Tides. I highly recommend this series for someone who wants to start reading the fantasy genre, young adult or adult. I think it is a great series to start because it introduces multiple POVs and the complicated world and relationships between characters. It is so entertaining, fun, and full of twists and turns.
More books added to my never ending TBR 🙈
what a mood
Current read is Syarduat Thief. So far it is lovely ❤
If We Were Villains is one of my favourite books. I will be curious to see what you think of it, especially when I agree with a lot of criticisms and negative reviews of it. But also there are plenty that I disagree with or don't think that was the point of the book. I have recently read The Complete Collection of Edgar Allan Poe, so it will be great to see your thought on those four short stories. Another edition I have is illustrated but by Harry Clarke, and it is called Tales of Mystery and Imagination. The Morella story and a particular illustration that introduced me to my drawing style. I may actually end up reading that after I finish Penny Dreadful's Sensational Tales of Terror.
I read the Sisters Grimm series recently (I hadn't read them when I was a kid), and I really liked them, especially the fairy-tale aspects. Book 3, _The Problem Child_ , was my favorite. There were some things that I found problematic, however (not "avoid this" problematic, but just "be aware of this" problematic). Namely, Sabrina is villainized constantly when she's either right or needs a little more sympathy given her situation, and then there's also Puck. Now, I love Puck, but the stories treat him in that unhealthy "boys will be boys" way (especially in relation to Sabrina) that was never properly addressed, especially in the long run. These things don't ruin the reading experience, but I wish they had been handled differently. This has been my unsolicited opinion. 😊
My most recent 5 star, and a book I finished a few days ago is Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
I’m currently reading Lemeny Snickets All the wrong questions series and it’s a good time
I also found Kappa very fun and interesting, but I must point out that there is a pretty sad/disturbing underlying fact that gives it a different dimension. The writer, Akutagawa, was apparently suffering from mental illness he believed he inherited from his mother. Therefore, the birth scene in the book is actually also sad... He also committed suicide shortly after this book was published. Hope i did not ruin the fun tho! I think there were some really memorable scenes in the book. I read it a good while ago but I can't get it out of my head.
Currently reading The Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie Holmberg (would recommend, v. cozy with a charming magic system) and Wrong Place, Wong Time by Gillian McAllister (I think there's an audience out there for this and I'm not it. This feels like something people who haven't read a lot of sci-fi/fantasy would find interesting, but for me it feels like the concept is kind of played out and I'm struggling to want to pick it up, even though it has super short pages).
Hey jessie the reader right now I’m reading eclipse from twilight
The only furniture that I have mastered putting together are the ikea bookshelves...because I keep buying more....so I've build to many of them at this point 😅
Just read The Fragile threads of power by V.E Schwab 5/5 stars and now I’m currently reading Sword Catcher by miss Cassandra Clare (really good so far, solid 4 for now)
I just finished reading A Magic Steeped in Poison today, totally recommend it!! It's about tea magic and Chinese culture and all that good stuff, I know its got a sequel, but I am not sure if there are any more than two yet :)
ahh i’m glad you liked it!! i read it last year and it wasn’t my cup of tea 😭
Just finished A Dawn Of Onyx by Kate Golden and it was absolutely amazing! It's definitely your stereotype fantasy book but I loved it.
I have Storygraph and Goodreads and Bookly which is probably too many, I keep Bookly and storygraph updated and then just update goodreads every few months all in one go, not on my phone though I do it on the PC it's quicker and easier to update that way.
I know you've read the first one, But you should definitely finish The Promised Neverland! Beautiful story and wonderful characters. Great for spooky season too!
amazing vid + editing as always! if you're unhauling books in the near future, maybe u could drop them off at little free libraries and pick up new ones!
that’s a good idea! 😊
About to finish Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. It is a 3 star reading for me
I am reading silver nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and enjoying it so far
I'm currently reading, or rather trying to read, The Book That Wouldn't Burn and I'm honestly struggling to get into it. I enjoy girl's POV chapters better but I'm not sure if it is for me. I'm still going to try and push through it, maybe it will get better.
I am currently reading a series of unfortunate events. On book six so far, The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, on chapter 7. ( this book has a lot of chapters within one chapter😂) and I would recommend both of these books
Currently I am reading The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead!
