*BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO ARE YA & ARE FOR AGES 13+ | THE INTENDED AUDIENCE FOR THIS VIDEO IS 13+
The new bookshelves in the background make it look like Jesse broke into someone's house to film
LOL. it's definitely taking time to get used to them.
When Jesse asked
“If anyone wants to have a tea party, and read dark academia”
I am all about that tea party.
☕️🫖 your videos always make my day! 🤟
Those bookshelves are gorgeous! I’ve watched your videos since I was 16, and my love for your videos has grown ever since. Hope you’re doing well Jesse.😊
ahh thank you so much. that means so much to me!
I'm Australian, which means Spring is spooky season 😂 Which I suppose is accurate with all of the wildlife getting even more angry 🌷🐨🦘🦅🐍🦈🪰💐
U forgot the drop bears 🤣

"i don't need reminders of what i look like." excuse me jesse, you are BEAUTIFUL??
fun duology recommendation, that i haven't seen anywhere! The Queen's Rising Duology (second book: The Queen's Resistance). It is a calm fantasy, with scenes that literally left me SHOOK!! the romance is more evident in book two, cause the love interest is given his own POV chapters, but the entire duology is about self-recognition, and Brienna (main character), finding where she belongs. it may be a little slow at the beginning, but as soon as pg 58 comes... *choo choo* climb aboard the adventure express! if you want, you can read the first book on it's own, but my favorite is Queen's Resistance! ENJOY!!
"I can never have too many beautiful journals" - Jesse George 2021. I can relate, I literally have a tub filled with journals, and a drawer filled with journals.
And here I am thinking that nothing can make this day any better! Thank you, Jesse! Love love love your videos❤️🌺❤️
ah! thanks so much Julia! :D
This is a compliment: you add caffeine personified. Also, if you are looking for educational historical fiction, “We are Not Free” by Traci Chee is awesome!
jesse: i hope i don’t break this
also jesse: literally twirling the dangly thing of the book mark around
Me - about to sleep
* Notification pops up*
*Jessethereader has uploaded a new video*
Me - clicks faster than Riptide could kill monsters
omg go to bed haha
THIS are the plot twist that I love: the ones that just make things longer and beautiful and makes me happy :3
Those edges are in another level! 😍😍😍
Books give a whole new meaning to “edges snatched”! 😂 Who else is a black female book lover? 👀
ayyyyy I am!
Something just hits different when booktubers tell about the summary of a book rather than me just reading it myself that makes me want to read it
That defy the night package was honestly the best PR package. So excited for that book!
One of my favorite memoirs is In Order to Live by Yeonmi Park. It is about how she escaped North Korea and her struggles making it to South Korea. Also Under the Same Sky that follows Joseph Kim who fled as well. Both of those were amazing!
CONGRATS ON 400K!!!! ❤
Your unboxings always make my day better!!! They are my favorite!!!
I always get soo excited when you upload a new videoo :) And I really do love the white bookshelves, it brightens up the whole "image" so much :) Plus I'm pretty sure the black shelves needed a looot of dusting ^^
I haven’t even watched yet-*grabs out everlasting long TBR* LETS DO THIS!
XD sorry if i added any to your everlasting list!
This video came at the perfect time today🧡I've been soo anxious and your videos are the only thing calming me down aha ☺️ thank-you Jesse
I absolutely loved Cursed Bunny. One of my favorite reads this year!
i just love the way u edit ur videos. it’s so satisfying fr
thanks so much!
Your video just reminded me of books that are lost in my TBR Village!! 😅😅 Also I have been drowning in Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. I am halfway through. It's getting interesting! I can't seem to read any faster though. I feel so exhausted sitting around and doing nothing all the time !!!
I really need to get back to Sanderson! His books always take me FOREVER, but they always end up being worth it. :D
@@jessethereader hehe so true!
Great video Jesse. I always enjoy a good unboxing and bookhaul. The book that I'm currently reading is called Paris is always a good idea.
The Devil Makes Three and The Wolf and The Woodsman are STUNNING! I LOVED The Anthropocene Reviewed, and I do plan on going to the Bookspolion live stream!
Your videos always make me feel better :) You definitely fuel my book love even moreee with ur posts!
Your intros are THE BEST!!!! Love you Jesse!!!!
thank you!!
Absolutely loved she who became the sun. That book blew my mind
I saw you mention it on your Instagram when you wear talking about memoirs, but Jesse you would LOVE Crying in H-Mart. It’s so amazing and the writing is fantastic. I’ve been reading it at work when we are slow and I’m in love.
I JUST GOT ON THE ILLUMICRATE WAITING LIST AND I AM SO EXCITED 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
For some reason I find your unboxing videos fun to watch; your videos amazing to unwind to!
thanks so much! :D
Yeah, I went into The Poppy War completely unprepared and oof. I mean, it was a five star read but you definitely need to be emotionally prepared.
I just finished White Smoke by Tiffany D Jackson and now I'm reading The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina by Zoraida Córdova.
I am so excited for Defy the Night 😄 one of my favorite authors for sure!
yesss! i'm hoping to get to it ASAP.
Aww, I loved doing the LOTR puzzle!! Awesome video as usual
I loved The Darkest Part of the Forest too. It is actually my favourite of Holly Black's books, and I wish I saw more people talking about it.
So excited you received the Night Circus box. This is my favorite book it has so many good quotes. I was bummed that I missed out on the box. It was sold out by the time I got it in my cart. Enjoy!
I’m so excited for the Anthropocene Reviewed booksplosion! Finally a book I’ve read 😂 and a video I can watch live! I’m so slow when I read that I never finish books in time for the live show 😂
This is awesome!!!! I just finish putting up outdoor Halloween decorations and now I get to watch this!!! Love your videos Jesse!!!!
nice!
"yes I did have too much coffee before filming this video" bahahhaa ME EVERY TIMMEEEE... the coffee is probably what gives me the inspiration to film in the first place lolol
Omg this video is so hilarious, love your videos, keep being funny 💯💯
Yay, New video!
Also, I just started the Shadow and Bone series and I'm loving it!
yay! i'm glad you're enjoying it :D
I recently got the Tiger's Curse saga and also George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm too. I was able to go to my local bookstore and get ten books including five hardcovers for 39 dollars. It was amazing
Yay finally a book haul!
Thanks for making my sick day bearable Jesse! I love your channel!
oh no! i hope you get to feeling better.
Get well soon!
Aw thanks 😊
Nice haul! I recently picked up Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh, because it's one of my favs. Also People we meet on vacation by Emily Henry, which I'm currently reading and really loving
I have a series curse too! I’ve been focusing on standalones and contemporaries now.
I mean, I haven't read it yet, but a nonfiction I am interested in is Smoke Gets in Your Eyes & Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty. I know you have an interest in books about death, so this may be something to look into. Also, I don't know if you have read it yet, but if are looking for other memories then On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a good way to go, or (another book I haven't read but I am interested in) In the Dream house. The first is by Ocean Vuong and the second by Carmen Maria Machado.
Crying in H Mart is a super good memoir. The audiobook is amazing because it’s told by the author!
i have that one! i still need to get to it 👀
I would recommend Bomb by Steve Sheinkin. It’s a Nonfiction book about the Manhattan Project, but it doesn’t feel at all like a boring text book. It’s really interesting!
Thank you for another amazing video that makes me feel inspired to go read!
Why is Jesse's reaction to the mirror so relatable?
The opening of this video really made my day
I cannot not stop staring at your bookshelves they’re so gorgeous
thanks so much!
Yaaaassss book Haul 🥰📚
:D :D
I'd love to see vlogs for this
acsdal is AMAZING. my most favorite fantasy
Ive read the wolf and the woodsman and i'd highly recommend it ~ the main two characters are really interesting there's a lot of discussion about belief and belonging, and the writing is ☆ gorgeous☆
ahh! this has me excited to get to it.
@@jessethereader i hope you do! But ksksdn pls don't worry if you dont \●▪︎●/ (also idk if this bonus or negative points for you but its a standalone fantasy '◇')
*breathing intensifies* This video is such a mooood! What a stunning haul of books, no wonder you were hyped! ...It can't all be coffee...right? heh. Which book are you looking forward to reading the most? The Devil Makes Three caught my eye personally. :)
Brook and going gor water by Robert frost are my favorite poems. He is nature's poet
Im 6 min and 11 seconds in when i realized that I'm smiling cuss your smiling...love your engery!!!
Holy Saints ! Bookish Trading Cards would be AMAZING 🤩 someone needs to start that ! I love your vids so much Jesse, I have been watching for years and you just bring joy to everyone in every video ❤️❤️
right? I have a mighty need lol
I have been reading Bone Criers Moon and I Can't put it down!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
that’s awesome! glad you’re enjoying it so much.
Normally I watch videos at 1.5x speed, but with Jesse's videos I don't have to. He talks fast enough as it is 😂👌
Book boxes are mostly cool art stuff of books Jesse hasn't read yet. And I want the Illumicrate boxes so badly but the waiting list is killing me! I'm currenlty reading The Dark Elements series by Jennifer L. Armentrout.
Know My Name by Chanel Miller and Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson are excellent if you're looking for more memoirs. I also loved She Who Became the Sun, The Wolf and the Woodsman, and The Anthropocene Reviewed :)
i've been wanting to get know my name! though i know it's going to be a tough read.
@@jessethereader it is a tough read but she's a phenomenal writer, it's the most well written memoir I've ever read
I loved my book pot it was my first one but my cat climbed up on my bookshelf and pushed it off. It Broke and now has cracks all over it (I super glued it together) but so sad :,(
This just makes me so happy
thanks for being here :)
@@jessethereader thanks for being the reason it makes me happy 😊
I read The Anhropocene Reviewed last month and loved it. So much that that I'm going to be listening to the Audio book soon. Dare I say, I like it better than Turtles All the Way Down.
ooh 👀 i’m intrigued
Boy you made my day
Don't apologize for the dramatics and the energy for a second
( okay it is 5 in the morning here, but still , ive had a bit of a bad book few hours, a few unfortunate things)
Ah I Missed Jesse videos had studying to do for college
Oo I have an arc of Defy the Night 👀
Loved the video!♥️
Btw in pin in 9:42 says in Hebrew "true", I searched and the author of The wolf and the woodsman is actually German so this is interesting
Thanks for posting Jessie!!! Any recommendations to get out of a reading slump?? Been in a major one recently 😩
oh man! the struggle. what kind of books are you in the mood for?
@@jessethereader anything contemporary lol 😂
You could try The Lucky List by Rachel Lippincott 🌻 It was a five star read for me, and it’s also not too long
your self control to not open those boxes for months, im on the wait list for Illumacrate and if/when I get it im going to open it the second it arrives lol
I’m am currently finishing two series. I just started The Hawthorne Legacy and bought A Vow So Bold & Deadly. I want to feel accomplished! 😆📚🤓 Oh I also just read White Smoke. Torn about how I feel about this book. Had some things about it that I didn’t like but find myself thinking about it a lot after finishing it. Had things that I loved about it as well. I’m still undecided. 🤪
I have been so intrigued by the hype surrounding the inheritance games trilogy! keep me updated on how the sequel is!
@@jessethereader I definitely will. Btw I thought it was supposed to be just a duology. Do you know something I don’t?
6:45
The last 2 lines sound exactly like a lyric from the song Northbound by Grace Petrie. I don’t know how famous she is and the first part is not there but what a coincidence!
Nonfiction rec: Factfullness by Hans Rosling
I rarely enjoy non fiction but this one changed my overall view of the world in a way nothing else has. It basically covers our world view and why it is the way it is.
A lot about humanity and missinformation in our day to day lives. ♥️
Hey I have an idea, what if we turn November into a Catch Up Month, a Readathon where we read all the things we need to catch up on before the end of the year?
I wish international shipping didn't cost so much 😭 these books are gorgeous!
I think you should read “In the Time of the Butterflies” it is a book based on the Mirabal sisters under Trujillo’s dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. I’m currently reading this now and it is very intriguing!
what a perfect time to open youtube
Indeed, it is😅
:D thanks for being here!
Jesse, the book I’m reading well actually it’s a graphic novel and I love DC it’s titled Injustice Gods Among Us .
I am so enjoy your videos... these are so good. So cool.... stay safe buddy...🖤
thank you!
Jesse, I am BEGGING YOU! Where did you get The Night Circus collectors do set? It's one of my favorite books and I am in awe of that set!
i got it from illumicrate :)
Jesse got that good kush in a vial😜😜😜moon flower you say😁😁
I read Among the Beasts and Briars a few months ago. Very fairy tale-esque but I didnt like it as much as I thought i would but that bookmark to go with it is stunning😍😍😍
oh noooo! sad that you didn't like it. i'm wondering if i should still give it a try or not. maybe i'll read a sample and see if i'm into it.
@@jessethereader Go for it! 🙌😁
I swear i have a series curse too. I finally started the Lunar Chronicles books. Read the first 3 in 4 days. 2 months later im only half way through book 4...
a whole MOOD.
I came as soon as I heard! And since you talked about needing time, I´d like to suggest the book How to Stop Time, by Matt Haig. It´s honestly one of my all time favorites, it´s moving and beautifully written. And there may be some tips on how to stop time. :)
ooh! that book sounds really nice.
Born to be Mild by Rob Temple is an amazing memoir. It's VERY British, but it follows Rob as he comes to realise that you can find excitement in the most mundane things, you don't need to go on massive adventures to find joy.
ooh! thank you for this rec!! :D
You should read Know My Name by Chanel Miller, its so goooddd❤❤
Are you going to read Foxhole Court? It's soooo popular now in Russia but I haven't heard much about it from the American booktubers. I wonder how you feel about reading these books if you ever heard of them:)
Instantly went online and brought The Devil Makes Three. My kinda book.
It's simple, i see a notification that Jesse released a video, i click, i watch, I'm happy.
thank youuu!
In the Dreamhouse by Carmen Maria Machado is a masterfully written memoir
Orienting by Pallavi aiyar is the perfect travelogish book for people who love and want to know about JAPAN
Wonderful video! But I also just felt the need to say how sad it made me to hear you talk so down about yourself throughout the video because that is definitely NOT what I see. You’re such a ray of sunshine and such a beautiful human being. You’re so handsome and your smile is contagious. Our eyes and brain have a funny way of distorting what we truly look like. Trust me when I say I do not see you the way you see yourself. You a very attractive and good looking person. Don’t let your brain lie to you 💜💖 I hope you enjoy all of the books you got and I can’t wait to see more videos from you!
21:17 when your the biggest nerd in the night circus...
hey jesse… if you want to break your series curse… maybe you can do a readalong with us??? i know i have several series that i need to finish (some are the same ones you need to finish, like the cursebreaker series), we could all help each other :)
The Illumicrate books and trinkets are getting more and more beautiful. I noticed something when you held up the second pin from The Wolf and the Woodsman. Looked like the Hebrew word "emet" which means truth, iirc. Any idea why the artist used that word?
right?! they nail it every time! ooh i didn't notice that.
I watched the Illumicrate lives on Instagram and they said the pin is meant to look like a coin that the main character, Evike I believe, carries in the story and it meant a lot to the author that Hebrew be included on it. I haven't read the book yet so I'm not sure the significance of that specific word in relation to the story though :)
Jesse, this is your sign to finish the Curesbreakers series👀🙌
TRUE.
