    I can't stand when my mom says: "yeah, Liana is a big reader", person: "why don't you buy her an Ebook? It would be less expensive than buying all those books!" Me: *death stare* I want to feel the pages and smell it's fragance, okay?! Technology is taking over the world!".

      I love looking at books, turning the pages, the smell of them, and how satisfying it is when you turn the last page or realize how far you are into the book. I can't stand e-books purely because I can't do any of those things. Same with audio books, but I also find that 1) the readers/narrators read really slow (the one book I listened to was over 8 hours long. It cut off halfway through the book, though, so it was probably close to 15 or 16 hours long) 2) I just love reading words on pages, so audio books aren't for me

    • @hibaalsiyabi7098
      @hibaalsiyabi7098 4 года назад +7

      I actually prefer ebooks , Because instead of turning pages all you have to do is scroll. Also it gives extra information like how many pages left in a chapter , also how much you’ve read with a percentage. Just an opinion ☺️

    • @lils6407
      @lils6407 4 года назад +4

      @@hibaalsiyabi7098 To be honest, one of the reasons for me not to get one is I would read for hours, and I am worried about getting optical migraines... I have history with those, so it's really annoying. I get the satisfaction from the ebook though 😊 I may get one to some point. In the somewhat near future 😂 but still going to take a few years.

    • @lils6407

      @@hipeople9856 I agree with that. And for some reason I don't get any headaches or migraines when I read for hours, as opposed to looking at a screen for half that time. The feeling and the accomplishment of how long you've come since the last couple of hours is amazing. I like feeling the weight from the book too, and looking at my collection, being able to show some close friends and maybe even lend them a few ones if I trust them enough with them. There's a bond, you know? It makes it intimate and private in a way. So I find it fun and entertaining 🥰 Besides, we already do way too many things online. At least I don't need ta battery or a charger to read my book.

    I'm really bad at visualizing characters like when a character is described having a long blonde hair, in my head they would have black hair (for some reason). And when the character decided cut their hair in the middle of the book, "he/she took an axe and chopped off their long blonde hair" I'm like the heck since when do they have blonde hair?

      Sometimes I’ll envision characters how I want them to look not necessarily how the book describes them. Most times it’s cuz I forget the character descriptions but when I do realize they’re not described as the book describes them, I don’t change it cuz I’ve gotten use to the way I envision them.

Secondly, all of the bookmarks I use are handmade. I actually have bookmarks that basically advertise other books cause they are from bookstores (I mean duhh) but I never ever use them. Only the ones I make. And the third bookish fact about me is that I can finish a book in a really short period of time but it takes me freakin ages to find the courage and start reading another book once I finish the last one.

    I don't finish series fast. People are always mad and think that I'm somehow letting the whole fandom down but actually I just want to be in the story's world longer and enjoy the possibilities before the end.
    Also the organization of a series on a bookcase can be the death nell and heaven of book display.
    The extras that publishers add to books, like little flourishes around the edges, and small pictures, textured covers are amazing and make the story that more real and tangible.
    Love the reviews - honest and true to reading and readers everywhere - keep it up!

    First off, I loved this tag! it looks like so much fun, and I guess one bookish fact about me was that I used to hate reading because when I was younger I had dyslexia pretty bad, but over the years, and with a ton of practice I hardly ever struggle reading (unless its like 3 in the morning and then I start reading up the page not down)!

    1. I have no problem flouncing a book if I hate it. If a book no longer interests me, then I'll just close it, set it down, and grab a new one. No use trying to force something.
    2. No matter where I shop, if a store has a book section, I never fail to find at least one book that I just HAVE TO have. Even when books weren't my reason for going to said store in the first place. Especially then.
    3. There's no comfortable position for me to read in. I could be hanging like a bat and it's just not possible.

      For number one, in sixth grade, we *had* to finish our books. If we didn't like it, we had to fill out a slip as to why we didn't enjoy it and we could only do that a couple of times. I usually start books outside of school, so this wasn't really a problem for me because they didn't know that I had started it to begin with. I try to give all books a chance, though, I've only set down a couple books in my life time:
      The 'Magic' series (couldn't get into the plot)
      Wuthering heights (too confusing of writing for me, I could understand it, but it was daunting to my seventh grade self)
      And then this one series about large cats. I couldn't get through the first book and I don't remember the name. Didn't like the story.

  • @HannahBihnana
    @HannahBihnana 8 лет назад

    DUDE. Same with the fan casting. I rarely picture actors (unless they are explicitly mentioned in the book, which actually happened to me once recently) when I'm reading. Even writing. And it's not that I don't know any actors, because one of my weird talents is remembering actors' names and what movies they're in. Imagination for the win!

    Just wanted to let you know that I really love the way you do book reviews with the non-spoiler part first and then you tell us to leave when you get to the spoiler part. In addition to that though, if I see that it's a book I haven't read or have no interest in, I'll probably scroll past the video (not just you, I'd do it to anyone.)

  • @Elizabeth-lv3vh

    I loved this video! A bookish fact about me is when I was younger I read all the time at school but was bullied for it. This put me off from reading in front of people for years but now I carry a book with me wherever I go and don't care what people think!

    bookish facts about me:
    1) I love to listen to the rain when i read! if it isn’t raining, then i put on a soundtrack of rain in the background
    2) My favourite book is “The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein and I’ve read it 9 times
    3) My favourite harry potter movie is the chamber of secrets but my favourite book is the prisoner of azkaban

    • @hipeople9856
      @hipeople9856 4 года назад +1

      1) I love listening to rain as I read, preferably a storm
      2) My favorite book is ... Jk... I don't have one. The top 4 are the HP books, the maximum ride series, the Violet Eden Chapters, and the Percy Jacksons. And like a million more.
      3) My favorite HP movie is either chamber of secrets or order of the Phoenix, and favorite book is either prisoner of Azkaban or order of the Phoenix.
      As you can see, I'm very indecisive

    Awesome video Jesse! Recently I bought a bookshelf from Walmart and failed at building it.... :( I don't know how you and Kat do it! Anyway my bookish facts are:
    1. I have a hard time writing negative reviews on books.
    2. Once I am in a reading slump, I am depressed!
    3. I have a habit of watching booktubers like you, right after I read a book so that I can hear everyone's thoughts!

    @katsuki_fan2465 7 лет назад

    When I'm reading I tend to count how many pages each chapter is so I can mentally prepare myself for long chapters.
    I sometimes skip around in intense scenes on accident and then self- spoil plot twists.
    When reading, I pretend the book is a movie I'm watching so I can imagine how things are happening in my head and will sometimes cast myself as a character.

  • @evelynnlindgren9971

    When I get into a book I really enjoy I read whenever I can. While eating, going to the bathroom, when I sleep (I don't sleep until I finished it!) between classes even if it's just for 3 minutes. In class. Let's just put it out there: when I get into a good book I really like, I read 24/7 (well 3-8 hours because that's the time it takes to finish it)
    Also I'm so bad at listening to audio books. I have this thing when I go to sleep when all the people in the world are lying awake for an hour or so before falling asleep I am not. I empty my mind so fast that I fall asleep in minutes, sometimes seconds and I am not joking. Anyway, when I try to listen to audio books my mind thinks I want to sleep so I fall asleep after a few minutes. Very sad because I remember I enjoyed audio books when I was younger and could just lie awake at night listening to them but no I am like a baby.
    Also I must tell everyone about the book I just read and I'm always so excited and sometimes I don't realize I have told this person about this exact book like five times already. I think I need more friends that obsess about books as I do...
    Anyways! I soooo want to steal your bookshelfs!!!

    1. Bookstores and libraries are safe places to me. I literary calm down even when I'm very stressed after I walk into one. It's like entering a fairy land.
    2. I realized that I prefer middle-grade books to YA because they are often less childish (paradoxical as it may sound), they are not afraid to deal with big themes and they are often better crafted, more challenging and more entertaining than much YA and adult literature. Often the best books are labeled "for young and old readers alike".
    3. I also love children picture books (or when there are pictures in books in general). When I manage to find a perfect blend of fine art and a text - it's like music to my eyes and soul.
    Wonderful video, Jesse, thank you for making my day better

    1. I’m good at predicting how books are going to go (and people’s lives)
    2. Recently just got a bookshelf for all my books after 10 years because I didn’t have enough space in my tiny room (got rid of a lot of my things recently)
    3. I’ve been in a reading slump for the last year or so and barely read as many books as I’ve wanted off my shelf. Hoping quarantine will help with that.
