    I can forgive characters that are pure evil, but I draw the line at being annoying.

    I love the fact that you review books whilst having a different concept of video each time. It’s so much more engaging than just sitting down and reviewing them!

    You should do this challenge again, but without knowing which book is which.

    next time you do this to get rid of confirmation bias you should have a friend find what the ranks are and then after reading the books you have to guess which one is higher or lower rated

    the hello kitty part of the video was so random and unhinged but most definitely hilarious😭

    I wonder what the result would be if you did the same challenge, but you didn't know which book was which. It could be interesting to see how much knowing the review score could influence your reading experience

    "I've been bookhauling a little too close to the Sun" yeah, relatable

    Carmen Maria Machado graduated from the Iowa Writer’s Workshop at University of Iowa in Iowa City. I currently live and study English & Creative Writing here! I had the pleasure of meeting Carmen on campus and she is brilliant. In The Dream House is spectacular. So glad it’s the highest rated.

    not that i think you need anymore books but i just read “The Five Wounds” and “As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow” and had to recommend them to you in the hopes of completing your library! the first is an incredible character study, since you have an affinity for character-driven books. and the second is a digestible young adult novel that handles very important and persistent issues in the world (despite being historical) in a very accessible way.

    “normalize being morally reprehensible” thanks for the validation bestie 😂

    Very much think that In The Dream House deserves such a high rating - absolutely devastating writing. It hit me like a ten-ton truck. Everyone should read it.

    I love Jack commenting how bad the book is, like "even drying paint would get bored"

    i'm so glad i've found your channel! english is my second language, and thought i know it quite well, i can't put my mind to using advanced vocabulary, even though i know it, and just listening to you describing books blows my mind with your choice of words. I've recently really got into reading again, and i feel like watching you in addition to that will do me good

    VIDEO IDEA: read one book rated 3 stars, one rated 4 stars and one rated 5 stars. But you don't know which book has which rating. And at the end, you must guess which book was rated what ❤
