My review for The Magicians : "23 minuets. It took me 23 minutes to be degusted by the misogyny enough to put this book down and never pick it up again." so the second you said you can tell it was written by a man i was felt so validated lol
FYI.... Sometimes the magicians show gets very dark. There is an infamous brutal rape scene that many ppl were upset about. Still makes me wanna throw up when I think about it. Also, they use the "rape makes women stronger" trope which I really despise. Ugh.
I love the black nail polish. I'm in a complete panic over elcetion results and knew I just needes some distratio, and what would be better than binge watching all of your videos that I have missed of the last couple of months.
Im so happy you enjoyed The Heart Principle, I read it when I decided to take time off college and I related to the character so much. You should try reading her two other books, I love The Kiss Quotient the most.
Your sweater looks like the perfect fall sweater!!!! Love it!!!! The very first video I saw by you was an unboxing from a few years ago and I just thought omg this guy is hysterical I love him!!!!
Love the nails!! My one star prediction is anything by Colleen Hoover but specifically Ugly Love. I don't really read that genre of book anyway so I never would read one of her books, but I think I would hate it even if I did try one.
Since you enjoyed The heart principle you should really read her other books The kiss quotient and The bride test. They are all loosely connected to each other and the characters appear in the background of each others books. I have loved all three of them and I am very picky about romance. Can’t recommend enough!!
The magicians is one of my favourite shows ever. The mental health question was never satisfactorily answered tho. All the characters have trauma and dissociative disorders. Addiction, attachment, avoidance etc. it is all fictional tho so 🤷🏽♀️
generally as a reader I agree that the book is better, but sometimes the adaptation is great or more fun or whatever, I think its fair to want to watch it instead that being said I have neither read that book nor watched the show so idk
That’s insane my boss left work for a week to go to Missouri to do the lighting design for the woman in black so I’m pretty sure it’s the same production you saw
Not the loose booty retelling 😂 For me, the book on my TBR I'm most nervous to read is 'When the Moon Hatched' by Sarah A. Parker --- with the way people I talk to are so split on either loving or hating it, I feel it's either going to be a 1-star or a 5-star
I checked out the show years ago but the characters are unlikable. Sometimes it gets too dark. Still traumatized by the rape scene. Also hate the "rape makes women stronger trope".
This video could not have come at a better time! I've been considering getting The Magician's ebook from Libby for the past few weeks, I was starting to lean towards snagging it but after hearing how the characters can be frustrating I don't think I will. Also love your nails! Do ypu have a favorite polish?
I haven’t read the series but I’ve watched the series and I feel like you will have a better time watching the series. Is it the best series of all time no but you may have a fun time!
A 1 Star Prediction? I honestly don't think that I really have one. Not from the top of my head at least. But maybe I am really just too open minded by now. My entire reading taste is mostly within fantasy but over 2024, especially this last bit, I've opened up to romance. It's fascinating, because I used to dislike it a lot and now I'm trying out different authors/writing styles to see what fits to me.
If you don't like the way that it is written, do not continue the magicians books. Personally for me, I loved them to pieces. I also recognise that my love is very subjective because it is purely about the writing and the feelings that these books evoked. The tv show is very different, to the point where I don't compare them. A lot of people though hated the ending to season 4. I personally thought that whole season was bad from start to finish but apparently that is an unpopular opinion. If you do continue the tv series I felt the need to give a heads up about season 4 because there were very good reasons why people had an issue with it.
We love boys with painted nails here 💅😊
😊
Yes! And the first sweater with black nails was just pure dark autumnal vibes ✨💜
Yes, agreeee!!
the fact that Merphy ends up loving the magicians after predicting it to be a 1 star read while you ended up hating it is so funny to me
My review for The Magicians : "23 minuets. It took me 23 minutes to be degusted by the misogyny enough to put this book down and never pick it up again." so the second you said you can tell it was written by a man i was felt so validated lol
Yeah it’s a trilogy with a hero’s journey. He starts out a dickhead 😂
omg, dont tell me that 😭😭 Ive been wanting to read this for like 5 years
YOUR NAIL LOOK SO GOOD! You should definately paint them more often.
Ah yes, _✨Booty and the Beast✨_
Love that story!
😂😂😂
The scream i scrumpt when Jesse said hes reading the Dragon's Bride
I LOVE the Magicians tv show and I hated the book. If you enjoyed the story but didn't like the writing. I highly recommend continuing with the show!
The Magicians is my favorite tv show of all time! Please continue it’s so so good
I was exactly the same with liking the show and not the book for The Magicians. I feel like such an imposter. I'm usually book over show!
FYI.... Sometimes the magicians show gets very dark. There is an infamous brutal rape scene that many ppl were upset about. Still makes me wanna throw up when I think about it. Also, they use the "rape makes women stronger" trope which I really despise. Ugh.
Ew eugh thanks for the info, I’ll steer clear. Hate that trope 🤢
You are so sweet, Jesse. Love your vibes
that pumpkin halloween house was crazzyyyy 😍 🎃
I love the black nail polish.
I'm in a complete panic over elcetion results and knew I just needes some distratio, and what would be better than binge watching all of your videos that I have missed of the last couple of months.
Lolol the dragon bride cover makes me giggle
You are brave to read 1⭐️ predictions! Glad you enjoyed the last one at least!
a fantastical video idea and a great video overall... also I only got to know about The Magicians through the tv show. love it to a million deaths.
Aaahh it’s so cool to see Don’t Let the Forest In at B&N! It’s not out here in the UK until January! Such a hyped release for me!
Im so happy you enjoyed The Heart Principle, I read it when I decided to take time off college and I related to the character so much. You should try reading her two other books, I love The Kiss Quotient the most.
I watch both you and merpy so I’m glad she got mentioned. Love your videos as always .📚❤️
I love her!
The sweater is giving Vector from Despicable Me and I'm here for it
Your sweater looks like the perfect fall sweater!!!! Love it!!!! The very first video I saw by you was an unboxing from a few years ago and I just thought omg this guy is hysterical I love him!!!!
2:23 OMG I SAW THE MOVIE VERSION OF THIS YEARS AGO AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE BOOK EVER SINCE
I haven't read the books but the TV show The Magicians was so good! And the characters are likeable and fun.
Love the nails!! My one star prediction is anything by Colleen Hoover but specifically Ugly Love. I don't really read that genre of book anyway so I never would read one of her books, but I think I would hate it even if I did try one.
I love your painted nails!
I really liked The Magician's TV show, although I didn't fully finish it and I never read the book so I can't compare haha.
I can't with The Magicians for the same reasons. I get it.
Since you enjoyed The heart principle you should really read her other books The kiss quotient and The bride test. They are all loosely connected to each other and the characters appear in the background of each others books. I have loved all three of them and I am very picky about romance. Can’t recommend enough!!
I have the same mummy mug! I love Target's mugs. Great video, Jessie!
Love both movies and the book Woman in Black. I DNFd the Magicians
The magicians is one of my favourite shows ever. The mental health question was never satisfactorily answered tho. All the characters have trauma and dissociative disorders. Addiction, attachment, avoidance etc. it is all fictional tho so 🤷🏽♀️
The Heart Principle is something I really want to read!!
generally as a reader I agree that the book is better, but sometimes the adaptation is great or more fun or whatever, I think its fair to want to watch it instead
that being said I have neither read that book nor watched the show so idk
Your nails are such a slay

A cheeto without the cheese - a toe? Eeew noooo! 😂😂😂❤
I *love* The Magicians streaming series, but don't think I'll enjoy the book nearly as much. I think you'd enjoy the show.
I checked out the show years ago but the characters are unlikable. Sometimes it gets too dark. Still traumatized by the rape scene. Also hate the "rape makes women stronger trope".
This video could not have come at a better time!

I looove your nails!
You should pull a Gav and read the last book in the magicians series lol
I really liked the first book The Magicians but I felt so bored reading the rest of the series, I've literally forgotten what happened 😅
I haven’t read the series but I’ve watched the series and I feel like you will have a better time watching the series. Is it the best series of all time no but you may have a fun time!
Three of my one star predictions are God of the Woods by Liz Moore, The London Seance Society by Sarah Penner, and The Arrest by Johnathan Lethem.
The Magicians tv show as a whole is better than the book series. Sorry not sorry.

TWO HOT DOGS????? 😀😀😀😃😃😃😃😄😄😄😄😄😃😀😀😃
Look I get that the Deal with a Deamon books aren't for everyone but they are very much for me.
No shame!! I wish they would’ve worked for me 😭 I just needed more plot!
I don't want Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier or Journey to the Center of the Earth but i think they are going to be a 1 star for me.

I'm guessing Dragon's Bride is probably erotica. Those aren't always a good place to look for plot.
So glad you enjoyed The Heart Principle! So many people felt let down by it and I feel like I’m in the minority with my 5 star rating 🥲
