Thanks for all your support!
I feel like we don't give Jesse enough appreciation for the way he edits his videos. It adds a whole other layer to the viewing experience
😭🖤 needed to hear this
Thank You!!-this is what I think, every time I see one of his videos^^
@@jessethereader you are one of the reasons I joined BookTube ❤️ Your editing skills are 👨🍳💋
Keep ‘em coming! And your bloopers make me smile EVERY TIME 💕
Jesse and I don't really read the same types of books. Normally I would've stopped watching, but I keep coming back. His videos are so good. His editing, his energy, his humor.
Yep! 😆👌
You know what has brought me into reading slumps a surprising amount of times. It's actually after having read a new favorite. Because I dread my next book will never give me the same amount of satisfaction as my last book.. It's just like why am I like this??!!
I like to call that having a book hangover. I felt that exact way when I read my favourites.
Yes, exactly!! That is the worst feeling!
Omg!!! You're such an amazing singer!!!! I imagine you singing/reading a book in that voice and my freaking reading slump will be gone forever....
hahaha thank you
Literally, I was like, “WAIT A DAMN MINUTE JESSE-“ 🤣
Almost fell into a reading slump last week because I was trying so hard to finish a book I wasn't enjoying, thank God I realized that I would rather DNF it then risk not being able to read for months (I'd lose my shit without books).
I kind of love that you talk about both bad and good books which put you into slumps and why slumps can be awful but also why they can be good too! Felt so balanced 👌🏾
Just this week I made the connection between my 6 year reading slump and my depression, that was quite a revelation lmao but im finally out of it and im starting to feel like my old self again
that's amazing to hear!
@@jessethereader thank you!
I’m so glad you’re feeling better💗
YES I SO RELATE. I'm 24 and I can't even remember the last time I read books for fun. I've had an on and off reading relationship my entire life for a variety of reasons. Hopefully this reading rise is here to stay for a while!
The Book Thief definitely put me in a reading slump! The pacing of it was extremely slow. It was a good book, but it was so slow.
I JUST finished reading The Book Thief last night. The first 120 ish pages were putting me in a slump, but after the 120 mark i sped through it, finishing it in 3 days. But yeah, im glad i stuck with it because i did end up crying at the end. And now im going to start reading The Shining.
omg your singing is amazing! They both die at the end put me in my first slump ever, it was because I was expecting it to make me cry, so much to the point where when i finished, and didnt cry, I was so disappointed. (I still loved it though) I didnt want to read anything for months. Then I read Addie LaRue, and that book got me out of my slump.
For me it was exactly the other way around! I was really disappointed and bored with Addie LaRue and They both die at the end motivated me so much lol
@@piaw3925 omg me too. And we both have the same name btw I'm Pia too. Anyway I hated Addie altho I did appreciate V.E. Schwab's a bit lyrical writing in that book but that book really gave me a whole month of slump. I was disappointed of how boring Addie was.
I read They both die at the end a long time ago before it became this popular , I didn't expect anything so I actually enjoyed it.
@@ipig2379 Same! I really liked the way the book was written and marked lots of quotes. And funny coincidence with the name :D
I got a book hangover from They Both Die at the End! Some books just stick with me for a while, and that one was CRAZY. Didn't go into a slump because I go into a manic re-reading/examining/behind-the-scenes watching phase every time I fall in love with something, and it didn't help I bought a copy where Adam Silvera discusses how he plotted it. :D
Everytime you said anxiety I felt that
Me everytime I have a slump
Jesse, your voice while singing is a 🎶pure magic🎶!!! Why haven't you told us you can sing?!
ahh thanks! i blame my insecurities hah
I came here to second this. Where have you been hiding this angel voice?!?!
Jesse: I’m a slow reader
Also jesse: I finished the book thief within a day.
Bruh how do you have all those emotions all in one go?
in a reading slump rn so dont know if this is the video for me, am I gonna watch it anyway? yes
aww! hope your slump passes soon.
I'm still in a reading slump after finishing the lunar chronicles in February... It was so good and now idk what can top it😂
hahah such a good series!
If you like the author and the writing and superhero’s should read Renegades by her! I personally like it better then lunar chronicles!
@@darkroseguild4685 I love the Renegades!! That trilogy is actually what made me read the lunar chronicles!
I still have to finish the Lunar Chronicles, been stuck in Winter for so long, don’t want it to end yet I guess.. Have you read Heartless by Marissa Meyer? Cause I was emotionally wrecked after that one.. will never look at the Queen of Hearts the same way
@@blue_hour_appeared not yet!! Heartless and Guilded are on my TBR!
Added The Book Thief to my to read list....Jane Eyre put me in a slump when I had to read it in high school. Maybe I didn't give it a fair enough chance but it was a bit of a snoozer for me. Now that I am a little older I should probably read it again and give it more of a chance, but with so many other books still to read and reread I am not sure if it is worth rereading a book I just didn't like.
that's understandable!
I full on hated Jane Eyre in school. Slow, boring, hard to read, hated the characters… didn’t want to read for ages after that!
Thank you SO much for that ending of you singing 😍😍😍 AAAAH!!! Best complement 🖤✨
These videos always cheer me up so much - you're just so much fun to listen to, and the editing is just amazing. Thanks so much!!
Your humor comes across as so authentic, and I absolutely love your content!!!
okay that last "anxietyyyyyyy" was a major mood.
but jesse, and i say this with the most care in my heart: you look like you have joined the mafia. its definitely a Look. maybe not the Look for me, but a Look. hope you're enjoying it😂❤️
Omggg the editing! The content! The singing! I love you Jesse 💜 I can't get enough of your channel!
Ahhh you’re such a good singer!!! Also I absolutely love you videos. The editing skills and your personality on camera are just amazing! Keep it up! 💗💗
“Ninth House” out me into a deep reading slump because for me it was super slow and nothing was happening for so much of the book. I was also unaware of the triggers going into it so it caused some panic attacks. I did end up DNFing it, but still.
Your energy is really contagious!! Remain the same.
This was so interesting to see! How books I loved, gets someone else in a reading slump.
:D
I've read 30 books this year so far and I've had to put a few down to prevent a slump
that's awesome! proud of your for being able to put books down that you know will cause a slump!
@@jessethereader thank you! Also, your videos inspired my reading binge this year. I've watched you for quite some time and realized that I needed to prioritize things that make me happy and reading does that! You're an OG youtuber for me.
You not having black book shelves is really making me realize how much time has gone by since I started watching you. Love youuuuu
Omg! I was so! Blown away! By your singing voice!?!
I would love to hear you sing more, such an unexpected treat!!
Also, I feel like I am Number Four put me in a slump I never truly recovered from. I remember pushing myself through it cause a cousin suggested it and I was like "I have to get through it" but in the end I really couldn't.
I had exactly the same experience with mistborn. I typically read quite quickly but it still took me ages to get through despite loving the book. I finally read books 2 and 3 at the start of this year and they were definitely worth it
So true. I'm reading Red Seas Under Red Skies currently. I love the characters, plot and the first book. But I'm a mood reader and not vibing with the fantasy world right now. So I may set it down for a bit. I am thinking of starting My Dark Vanessa tomorrow and come back to it.
Sounds Like Ur a merphy Napier Fan, are u?
@@zainabahmad8546 definitely!
Can we just talk about how good Jesse's singing is for a sec? Like omg you're so good!!
Currently in a slump but hopefully I'll get out of it soon. When I get in a slump I always default to my favorite book series! I read it in slumps and when I'm sad and honestly it helps me. It's called The Mistmantle Chronicles by M.I. McAllister. The series is being reissued on purple house press and it's only the first two.
ooh! i've not heard of that series, but it's nice that you've found a series that can help you get out of your slump!
@@jessethereader it's been my favorite series since 6th grade. I probably recite the whole book! I once did a seven page book report one it once!
ENCORE ENCORE I LOVE YOUR SINGING JESSE ITS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!
Jesse, you have such a good singing voice! Also, your videos always put the biggest smile on my face. You're so funny and your editing skills are incredible 😊
Ohh! I flew through the Mistborn series (was able to finish the whole trilogy in 40 days). It is many pages though.. agreed
Sometimes when I read a book and it’s amazing like 5/5 stars, I have no motivation to pick up another book because I feel like they will never reach up to that books amazingness (is that even a word?)
Queen of Shadows also put me in a slump. I'm ride or die for the character you mention and I refused to read Empire of Storms until after Tower of Dawn. It just felt my boy got done dirty and I didn't want to accept it then lol.
Amazing singing! Bloopers were hilarious! Sorry to see you didn’t love The 5th Wave (it’s one of my all-time favorite books), but I hope if you reread it you like it!
How is it possible, that I watched you since like forever (I'm talking about, you had 1 shelf hahha) and I didn't know that you can sing this good? That actually sounded so good, it made me stop what I was doing and just listen
Yass A new Jesse vid! Luv ur vids!
Now how did I not know you had a singing voice of an angel?! You sound so good. You are a brave man. If I even mention the words "reading slump" I fall deep down into the reading slump void. I've been trying to read some of my dnf's lately but most of them are still garbage and I can't make it past the first few chapters. The struggle is real.
Great video! Now we want the books that got you out of the slump, the escalator books if you will
That voice is really good. hoping to see a mini concert vlog one day :D songs that fits perfectly to your fave books :)
Love the editing on this video!
Jesse can sing!! I'm here for it! You have an awesome voice!!
Currently in a reading slump after reading It Ends With Us for the exact same reason you were in a slump from the book thief!!! I don’t want to move on!!!
Jesse's been holding out on us!
You have a beautiful voice 🥰
In a huge reading slump right now l. Thanks for the awesome video Jessie totally agree with all the slow mo zone feelings and not feeling like yourself. 😂
your shirt is so cool!!
I had major slumps after reading the HP, PJO and the HOO series and The Book Thief and Heartless. I’ve noticed it tends to happen as well with autobiographies. It’s the connection with the characters for me.
If there’s a book I’m not exactly liking because of pacing I try to push through and have a mandatory break before I move on to a different book. I always try to have an open mind but it can be hard sometimes lol. But because I’m still young I have confidence that I’ll find tons of books that I WILL love, I just have to keep reading.
Everyone’s reading journey is unique to themselves and if you need breaks or if you find books that don’t fully resonate with you, that’s fine. You will eventually read something you really enjoy. 😊
P.S. I really like your singing voice! 💕
Omg Jesse your voice at the end is beautiful wtf 😭
lol i forgot that i even left those clips in at the end
@@jessethereader thank you for leaving them in , my ears were blessed
highly recommend checking out the graphic audiobooks for mistborn! they helped me get through the series in like 2 weeks
The anxiety part is such a mood, honestly. 😅
'The Fifth Season' and 'A Memory Called Empire' both were just so good i couldn't see how anything ever could top it.
'To The Sky Kingdom' this was my first time reading anything that had been translated into English and i had a hard time with the cultural changes. But it encouraged me to keep reading translated novels and now i have quite a few with more in my tbr. But as a disclaimer i don't recommend reading this book there is a lot of controversy surrounding it that the author took a BL story written by MXTX and made it straight.
I just got out of reading slump and almost forgot I was reader, but life got in a way and the name of the wind series definitely put me in a slump because I didn't know the drama surrounding it and the non-release of the third one until I was already so invested in. Also, life and school got in the way but now I've finished all my reading for school, and life has slowed down a bit. I can enjoy my reading rise.
you sing so good. the book thief is one of the books I got for my birthday
I feel you on taking a long time to get done with a book Jesse 😅😄.
Also, I heard this advice from Merphy Napier where you read a much shorter book beside the chunky one. If you read one book at a time then read a shorter one after the chunky 😁.
Oh my gosh I FEEL you with the Mistborn thing! 😭✋ Like it’s Brandon Sanderson (one of my two favorite authors) and it’s WONDERFUL but it’s LONG and I am also a slow reader.
Omg you totally described what I’m feeling reading Mistborn right now. But idk if I love it, I mean it’s entertaining but draining
Not Jesse singing Baby 😍 you sound so good!
I've been looking for an adult fantasy book recommendation. Thanks, Jesse!
I’m trying to get through Mistborn for the 1st time this month and LOL. The 24 hour audiobook is 💀
The first time I tried reading Mistborn I gave up and then got rid of the book. xD But I recently rebought the book wanting to give it another go! Good Luck!!
@@artbyamyk1000 thank you! I think the audio will hopefully help me push through 😅
It’s worth it in the end! The trilogy only continues to get better too!
The audiobook narrators do a fantastic job! They're very good books and the characters go through some amazing growth!! Good luck and welcome to the cosmere!
Oj, I get those slumps from time to time... I hate them! The last one came about after I read like 5 books in two weeks, and the last one was so good, that I couldn't seem to get interested in any other book in my TBR pile. It's past now, thank goodness. Loved your vid.
You’re the best!!! Love ya!!! Hope all is well
jesse your singing is SO good, what?
Really digging the shirt!
I love your singing at the end😊
What you said about The Book Thief is what I felt about Flowers in the Attic 😅
Omg your singing is fantastic!!!
Bestie we share the same feelings for the 5th wave it also put me in a reading slump! You better donate that one for someone else to enjoy ❤️
I totally get you about the book thief... it was my favorite book when I was younger, I kind of want to read it in English now... but I'm so afraid of grabbing it again
i love the outfit !!
The Hunger games put me in one because I read them back to back so quickly
that makes sense!
@@jessethereader then I got into a other one after reading the ballad song birds and snakes in like two days
the singing at the end ....... amazing
I completely agree with The Book Thief... it broke my heart, and it took me a while to recover and pick up another book.
i've been in a reading slump since february 😔 a lot of it is from being exhausted from school and just not wanting to do anything, a toxic relationship, and just not being interested by anything, but i really wanna get out of this slump, i think i might try to reread an old favorite since the fear of the first book ill have read in months being bad is real and i don't wanna be disappointed 😅
I go through the same of what I’ve seen from a lot of people; after reading a REALLY great book, it’s difficult to pick up something else. One, because I don’t want to leave the world in which I’ve just been so immersed; two, I’m scared of being disappointed by a new book, because there’s no way it can compare to the amazing read I just finished!!! BTW, since you did like Sanderson, I’d recommend reading Warbreaker when you have a chance, or an inkling. It’s a standalone, and I loved the story; I’m hoping to do a reread sometime soon. Ish. That TBR pile is staring me down, though…
The Clockwork Princess put me in a reading slump, because I knew it would be hard to find another series that resolved things for me as well as that one did. BTW, your voice is amazing at the end. Are you a trained singer?
Jesse sing out at the end is bravo😊👏🏻
I love that you show that you can love a book but it atill causes a reading slump, I feel that most people think that if a book caused a reading slump then you hate the book... I'm currently reading Mistborn book 3, and I absolutly love love love it, but I *feel* you with why book 1 caused a reading slump for you, its slow progres! But I did want to say, at the back of each book they do have an overview of the previous book, so you could read that rather than re reading book 1? Anyway, great video as always!
Jesse when is your book-related album coming out? like damn (and yes this is about that blooper)
i’m so glad that i read the ACOTAR and TOG series’ when i did, because i don’t think i’d like them as much now if i were reading them for the first time
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue had me questioning if I even liked reading. I went in knowing how hyped up it was, and I had to PUSH myself to finish it. I think I gave it 2 stars on Goodreads…
Oh god, this is so validating. I really disliked it and was super disappointed because I loved Vicious but I could jot get into this one at all. Nothing happens ans the vibes weren't exactly urging me to stay either so I DNFed it at like page 120 or something
This manga sires is not done, but when I was up to date on it I got into a reading slump. The sires was D Gray Man. This sires is just so filled with sorrow and grief. You watch these characters go through these sorrowful things and they are in a very toxic situation. The characters have so much depth and react to these situations in such a real way. I could not move on from this sires for a while after catching up.
The Infernal Devices trilogy out me into a bit of a slump last year, because I just loved them so much. And then I read a thriller and a romance after I thought I recovered, and I didn't like either of them. And that put me in a big slump for almost a month
Queen of Shadows put me in a reading slump too the first time i read it bcs of where the story went with the characters.. it was so frustrating!! the re-read was better bcs i knew what to expect this time around, but heart's been broken so many times with this series..
SAME with Mistborn and Throne of Glass! I'm planning on rereading the Final Empire and finishing the trilogy, but i'm scared!!
DUDE U UNDERSTAND MT MISTBORNE PROBLEM!! Took me months to get through the first book and the second book has been sitting on my side table for three months. It’s just…. So much. I wanna get into the cosmere because I’ve heard such good things about it, but…. It’s just so much and it took me ages to get through the first book….
Not me, expecting Jesse to rant about books he didn't like and put him in a slump and then he goes on with favorite book after favorite book lol (you have such an amazing voice, wow)
How do you recover from a slump caused by technology binging? Like, I want to read but my game... and RUclips... and Twitch... and Help, Jesse!! Also, your singing is AMAZING!!!! PLEASE SING MORE!!!!
You explaining The 5th Wave is EXACTLY how I feel about Legend and I just realized it…
A Conjuring of Light by VE Schwab had the same effect on me as Mistborn had on you. It was just so must bigger than I'm used to and it took me 1.5 months to read which is rare for me, but I was loving it as I was reading it but I was also dreading picking it up because it was so big I was just so intimidated by the book. But having finished it I'm so happy because it was SOOOO GOOD
His singing voice omg🥰 I keep listening and repeating
I can’t even say what causes me necessarily a reading slump.
There was a Uno reverse happening rather recently. So, I was pretty stressed out because I was working on three term papers at the same time for my hopefully 2nd last semester at uni, right? And I didn’t think I could really get to read books.
But then suddenly, I had the giant urge to escape. So I worked on my papers at day and took flight into the world of fantasy worlds at evening.
Aaaanyways… Your singing voice is so beautiful 🥺
Chaol Westfall Defense Squad always!!! I completely agree with your thoughts on queen of shadows and empire of storms
Fellow member of the Chaol Westfall Defense Squad!!
@@beccaferrell1334 This just made my day! So so happy to find a fellow Chaol lover 🥰🥰🥰
Bro your voice 😭 I love it ❤❤❤
Ah, the good book hangover slump. Probably the best of all possible slumps. (I still need to read the third Mistborn book. I love me a big book, but I find Sanderson a slow read.)
I've had several books put me into a slump because I really, really want to read the sequel right now, and that's just not possible.
It's the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day for me. *Screaming and Crying* Every page was a struggle to go through and that's when I realised, romance was not for me and even after attempting to read romance novels after that, that fact still hasn't changed.
I'm currently reading ACOTAR and I'm having difficulty reading on the first part of it. I loved the ToG series so much that's why I give this series a try.😅
I got into a reading slump last month with ACOTAR but because of all the hype surrounding it I didn’t DNF it. But I’m glad I didn’t! I ended up really liking it at the end!
im so sad that you get such less views T_T you put so much effort into your videos and the editing and they are all so gooooood >
it’s okay 😭 it’s probably because i haven’t been as active as i used to be, but hopefully it’ll pick up again in the future 🥲
The Book Thief is one that I still haven’t finished - it’s just sitting in my Kindle/book app and I haven’t finished it. I agree with the slow pace and I think it’s one that I’m just not enjoying as much in ebook format, because of the pacing and type of book. I almost wonder if I had a physical copy if it would be easier to pick back up… right now to immerse myself back in the book is just not happening yet 😖😖
I've been known to read several books at once. Not literally all at the same time, but I'll start one on one day, then another the next, and then another the next, and I'll go back to the first one and just keep reading one or the other depending on my mood. That's great because it means big long books don't inhibit my reading progress as much, but it also frequently leads to me having piles of books I'm only five or so chapters into and it gets out of hand.
