sienna while you pick them a guy in a black jacket notices a hand poking out and you have to shoot him too and then others see you and now the government is looking for you -I hate when this happens
the moment you said 'it's got to hook you, and then reel you in', ive been realized that im reading book in a wrong way. lately ive been forced myself to read a material that had been recommended by my friends and i just go with it bcos it's a classic and literature and it suppose to make me feel smart and cultural while reading it. but at the same time im not enjoying the book. i guess i need to put it down and find another one that really entertain me.
it also helps if you're not forcing yourself to read it for those reasons. i forced myself to read most classics during school because we had to, but once i didn't have to anymore, i actually picked them up on my own lol also, let's not forget that most people don't read through certain classic or nonfiction books like through those normal fiction books haha
All the books you describe always sound worthwhile, but now I realized, it might just be your descriptions. The enthusiasm and the unique details you remember are everything.
OMG “Pachinko” was such an amazing book, especially since I come from an Asian background, it really opened up my eyes to the historical connections😭😍 I would’ve never guessed that you would recommend such an amazing book! Plus, I’ve never been this early on your channel, and I’m proud😂 I also recommend Demi Moore’s memoir, “Inside Out” if you have not read it already!
I read Pachinko a couple of years ago. I'm not Asian, but getting to Jenn's point about enjoying reading about places you're familiar with, I was living in Japan at the time and had visited South Korea. A year after I read it, I got to visit Jeju Island with my work and I was ecstatic because that was the island the family originated from. It was also very interesting to read some about Japan's history and the racial history there, even though I loved living there and really enjoyed the people and culture.
I love how when I think of Jenn I think of a sweet girl, but watching this I can see her depths really well (not that you cant usually see how smart she is). It's also insane how I want to buy each book she talked about
Eman Elshboia i am interested to read however i find myself to get bored easily. As Jenn said, gotta find the right book! But weird enough for me, if i read the book through a screen (phone/laptop/pc) i read it super fast. 😳🧐 if its a solid book itself, i get bored....
I’m obsessed with curl up club! I absolutely love the concept and the aesthetics of the feed/stories ♥️ deffo what we need in our lives, especially during this time! Can’t wait to read Pachinko because as a European I’ve always wanted to know more about this sad part of history. Thanks for your recommendations ♥️
Hi Jenn - I loved “Maybe you should talk to someone” by Lori Gottlieb. It gives a raw and honest voice to the personal experiences of practising therapists and what really goes on in their minds when they are in therapy sessions with their patients, while juggling with their personal lives in their own realm as well. it helps that Lori brings in hilarious elements to her writings too! The book was a total winner for me.
Also, I just listened to Demi Moore's biography "Inside Out". It's amazing. Raw and beautiful. I could have never imagined that I would relate to her on such a deep level.
I had to read it last year for summer reading for school, and i didn’t expect it to be as good as it was!! It was surprisingly funny at times and i finished it in one weekend, couldn’t put it down!
Love when Jenn recommends books either in her favorites or in these type of videos. She has a way of describing them that makes you want to read everything!
I don’t read, but i play your video while i do my morning stretch. Somehow just listening to how enthusiastic you are about the books sounds very uplifting to me ☀️ Please continue to share what you love whether or not we like it, because thats what makes me love you and your energy so much ♥️
I just finished "Memoirs of a Geisha" and it was phenomenal! A fictional character, but based on the real hardship of training to become a geisha. Set in the early 1900s, all the way through life in Japan in the second world war, simply amazing.
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison! Also one where you feel like the protagonist is speaking to you in her childhood years. 1960s, fighting against Eurocentric beauty ideals & what it means to be beautiful as a POC.
Darn it Jenn! It’s 2AM in London and I can’t stop watching your videos. I need to be up at 7am to finish my grammar practice before my live lectures! I love your videos, I only recently found out about you and don’t usually watch youtubers’ channels but your content always has this peaceful and calm vibe (probably all the white colour in the background) and you’re so smart and sweet.
I personally ate up the book "The silent patient" by Alex Michaelides in one day bc i just could not put it down. I don't think it's very broadly known, but definitely worth the read. It's pretty short, but the plot is interesting and you really get sucked into each of the characters, trying to understand them and relate to them:)
I was JUST looking up book recommendations and suddenly I get a notification from one of my favorite TH-camrs with BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS? The universe truly works in mysterious ways 🥰 hope you're doing well! Thanks for the lovely book content 💖
Oh my god girl, I'm in the middle of making a book recommendations vid AND THESE ARE LIKE HALF MY RECOMMENDATIONS. pachinko is BOMB. and I LOVE Higashino Keigo. I better do some more research lol.
Hey Jenn - Congratulations on the launch of Curl Up Club - your passion for books and gaining knowledge is easy to see. You just radiate and become so enthused when you talk about your reads of the day/week/month/year. 'The Devotion of Suspect X' is one of my favourite reads and other titles from by Keigo Higashino are also very good x Looking forward to seeing what other recommended reads come via the Curl Up Club x Hope all is well and stay safe and healthy x :-)
Currently reading Little Fires Everywhere! My recs: 1. Circe by Madeline Miller 2. Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak 3. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Yesterday I finished Patti Smith's Just Kids. It's a memoir about her time moving to New York in the late 60s and 70s, her meeting the love of her life, the struggles of an artist. It really moved me. She doesn't hold back, is incredibly poetic and describes so many interesting people that were around in that time. Highly recommend. Feel like you would enjoy it.
I read Dark Places thanks to your recommendation and also got super hooked into Gillian Flynn stories!! I’m so glad that the book made it on your list again here!
I'm a Japanese studying abroad in Canada. I think I really need to read "Pachinko" as a Japanese who loves Korea. I always study English by watching your videos Jenn. Thank you so much for all the fun and amazing videos :) My dream is speaking English like you!
I recently read “The Realm of You” and it was hauntingly beautiful. I read it in one sitting. *trigger warning: there are graphic depictions of self-harm as this book explores themes of mental illness
Sarah Schopick if you are not triggered by graphic descriptions of self harm etc. i’d definitely recommend checking out the book “a little life” by hanya yanagihara. i personally loved it but i know many people that dislike it, but it’s definitely worth checking out!
I've never met a girl who like 1960s like me! So happy we have a common interest ! Also you should watch the detective X's movie in Japanese version. It's gonna make you cry!
just want to say i appreciate your videos/ energy so much! i always watch one of your videos when i’m feeling kind of gloomy to cheer myself up & get back in the right headspace! :-)
Thank you for making these videos, they really inspire me to read more especially when I get lazy. Also your point about books that make you empathize with both sides, I have to agree! Those types of characters can really make a book interesting.
I love Jenn's book recommendation videos, she just has a way of making every story sound so interesting, even books that I would never think to pick up on my own
Financial goals: be able to afford both a kindle and hardcopy of a book! I haven't read it yet but I'm looking to purchase by Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino after reading her piece in the New Yorker. I think you would enjoy "In The Woods" by Tana French, for a good thriller/mystery, which I read for a British lit class in college and truly enjoyed it.
Definitely "the courage to be disliked." It's my life-changing book, and it is an enormous bestseller in Asian countries! The author states clearly "anyone can change, and be happy from NOW." He even denies trauma and talks so much more about life. I think you'll like it too bb
Hi Jenn!!! I think I’m going to start reading little fires everywhere!! My book recommendations for you are: 1) A Thousand Splendid Suns: a historical fiction novel about two women living in Afghanistan. It’s by the same author as Kit Runner, but I actually enjoyed this one much more. I just felt a connection to the two women and I felt so much pain reading about their struggles. The book literally made me sob!!! It was amazing. 2) Where the crawdads sing: a fiction story located in North Carolina, about a girl who lives alone in the marsh. You get to witness her grow up and tackle all of life’s challenges, like losing her family, love, bullies, and learning about nature. There’s also a murder mystery, which i think you would love!!!
we have the SAME taste in books wow. I loved pachinko so much and little fires everywhere is so good. i'm reading americanah right now and it is also AMAZING!
I recommend the Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami (A famous Japanese writer) I feel like there’s so much philosophy in it, and he is known to make his stories very dream-like.
Valley of the Dolls is one of my favorite books. I actually tried to read it one time and only got 28 pages into it before deciding to put it down and pick it up at another time. Then when I did pick it back up I read it so quickly! OH MY GOD! I *L O V E* Edie! I was so not expecting that! I've never read any books about her before, so I'll definitely have to add that one to my wishlist! I absolutely love the movie Factory Girl, which is about her. It's not considered a great film and it's not acclaimed or anything, but I first saw it when I was 12 and have loved it ever since. (That would be 12 years ago, by the way.) Jenn, have you seen the film Belle De Jour (1967)? I feel like you would like it, considering where our interests overlap!
Thank you! You’re the only person I trust for book recommendations. Most of my “to read” books are from you ☺️ Recommendations: - The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon (There’s a tv show, too.) - The Designer by Marius Gabriel
omg i absolutely can't wait to read all these recommended books!!! i've loved reading since young but life got in the way and i gradually spent less time reading, but i'm hoping to get back to it during this period hehe
I totally recommend If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha!! Incredible writing and pacing by a debut Asian American author taking a hard look at contemporary Korean society through the perspectives of 4 young Korean women, each with their own private struggles.
Unnie! Since it’s quarantine i started reading a lot of books! But my eyes get strained a lot since i read through phone! But I’ve been enjoying all the books u recommend especially PACHINKO!!💕
I really loved Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan! As an Asian American, I've had a complicated relationship with my immigrant mother and this book really delves into both sides of the child of the immigrant and the mother's journey to come to America. I don't know how to explain it but I feel like it helped me mature and try to understand my mom instead of pushing her away and stuff. I highly recc to everyone!!!
Read the Silent Patient! It's a psychological thriller and you would definitely love it. It's my favorite thriller! My fav book I've read this quarantine is woman at Point zero.
“Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine” by Gail Honeyman. And a powerfull korean women life story: “The island of sea women” by Lisa See (your are going to want to go to Jeju). By de way, do you have a Goodreads account?
Im so appreciative of your videos because you motivate me and inspire me to live an active, healthier life especially in quarantine!! Bc time is still going by very quickly for me, even without reading, which is not good for me haha.
Kazuo Ishiguro is an amazing writer. One of the few authors that writes in a way where you can be completely wrapped up in the book and simultaneously reflecting on your life --- Never Let Me Go is one of my favorites :))
the timing of this video though!!! i've been wanting some good new book recs (and my type of fav books are similar to yours!) thanks for this video jenn
This is going to hurt, telling stories from the perspective of a former frontline doctor in NHS. It is going to make you laugh so hard and also sad in the same time. Worth a read! x
Currently BOOKed with some of my favorite reads 📚 What are some of yours?
Into The Water by Paula Hawkins is super dark and suspenseful. you should check that one out.
Celeste Ng!!! Girl you need to read her book Everything I Never Told You! 😭😭
A Map of Betrayal by Ha Jin! Super interesting book, kinda slow paced but it's pretty substantial and I love it so far 🌸
It ends with us by Colleen Hoover!! It’s amazing
The Kitchen God’s Wife by Amy Tan is one of my faves!! It’s so heartbreakingly honest and insightful and I love a good mother daughter story!!
You know Jenn is a true businesswoman when she knows how to sell every single book she mentioned just like THAT
Jenn- 'This book kinda shows how difficult it is to dispose a body'
Joe Goldberg- 'Hold my books'
Rozat 1213 exactly what i thought lol
"This book shows you how hard it is to dispose a dead body"
So don't kill people! Because it's hard afterwards! 😂
LOLOL! It's one of the MAANY reasons not to!
I found this book had many loopholes to be honest, Malice by Higashino is much much better!
can't you just like... go to the countryside and throw them into a lake?
sienna while you pick them a guy in a black jacket notices a hand poking out and you have to shoot him too and then others see you and now the government is looking for you -I hate when this happens
Honestly, when i feel depressed, anxious or bored i just reread any of the Harry Potter books to comfort myself. Lol.
🙌🙌❤ ... ALWAYS!!!

I also recommend Demi Moore’s memoir, “Inside Out” if you have not read it already!
YeSSS, I think coming from an Asian background makes Pachinko even more impactful. Best I read in 2019! Unputdownable for sure! 💕
She's recommended it I think twice before on her channel. I bought a copy months ago bc she mentioned it. I still have to read it tho 😅
I read Pachinko a couple of years ago.

“Where’d you go Bernadette” was the fastest read for me because it was so addictive. Valley of the Dolls is one of my all time favorites too!
I'm also a big fan of the book, "where'd you go Bernadette"
I'll have to check it out!
@@imjennim the movie was chef's kiss!
Hey Jenn, do you have a goodreads account? I’d love to follow you and see your shelves!
I love how when I think of Jenn I think of a sweet girl, but watching this I can see her depths really well (not that you cant usually see how smart she is). It's also insane how I want to buy each book she talked about
a sweet girl .. who loves her murder stories >:D
I don’t even read books and this is making me want to read ❤️

Aww thanks Anna! n_n
I so admire you. Because of your energy, your confidence, your fluent English
I remember you recommending these books in your old monthly favorites! Great to see that these gems have stuck with you😍
I always click so fast on your book videos. You always have great recommendations and give insightful descriptions. So glad you started a book club.
Hi Jenn - I loved “Maybe you should talk to someone” by Lori Gottlieb.

The book was a total winner for me.
Absolutely agree. This book was so much better than the actual therapy sessions for me. It helped me overcome depression and suicidal thoughts
Also, I just listened to Demi Moore's biography "Inside Out". It's amazing. Raw and beautiful. I could have never imagined that I would relate to her on such a deep level.
Jenn you should read Trevor Noah’s biography “Born a crime”!!! It’s so good, highly entertaining and eye opening about growing up in South Africa
I had to read it last year for summer reading for school, and i didn’t expect it to be as good as it was!! It was surprisingly funny at times and i finished it in one weekend, couldn’t put it down!
Love when Jenn recommends books either in her favorites or in these type of videos. She has a way of describing them that makes you want to read everything!
that intro? jenn, you're on another level!!!
I don’t read, but i play your video while i do my morning stretch. Somehow just listening to how enthusiastic you are about the books sounds very uplifting to me ☀️ Please continue to share what you love whether or not we like it, because thats what makes me love you and your energy so much ♥️
Just ordered 3 of the books you recommended - excited to read them!

Pachinko is VERY interesting, heartbreaking, beautifully written. =)

just last week I was going thru her old book videos to find recommendations for quarantine and she uploads this. talk about perfect timing!
I personally ate up the book "The silent patient" by Alex Michaelides in one day bc i just could not put it down. I don't think it's very broadly known, but definitely worth the read. It's pretty short, but the plot is interesting and you really get sucked into each of the characters, trying to understand them and relate to them:)
I loved this book too. Could not stop reading it

Same!
Hated it

JENN, I live for these videos! You're the best
I was just thinking this and now that you‘re the one posting about it, will definitely follow the recommendations. Thanks. All the love.
Sunday is my fav day cause I know I get to watch Jenn’s video. 😍
I recently read “The Realm of You” and it was hauntingly beautiful. I read it in one sitting. *trigger warning: there are graphic depictions of self-harm as this book explores themes of mental illness
Also, I discovered this book because it was one of the library recommendations on Libby (free ebook app that lets you borrow with your library card).
Sarah Schopick if you are not triggered by graphic descriptions of self harm etc. i’d definitely recommend checking out the book “a little life” by hanya yanagihara. i personally loved it but i know many people that dislike it, but it’s definitely worth checking out!
I've never met a girl who like 1960s like me! So happy we have a common interest !
Also you should watch the detective X's movie in Japanese version. It's gonna make you cry!
just want to say i appreciate your videos/ energy so much! i always watch one of your videos when i’m feeling kind of gloomy to cheer myself up & get back in the right headspace! :-)
ok but I've just rewatched your two last videos on books and now this came out 💜 ily
i've been itching to read! thank you for such a diverse & solid list
Thank you for making these videos, they really inspire me to read more especially when I get lazy. Also your point about books that make you empathize with both sides, I have to agree! Those types of characters can really make a book interesting.
Yes! Love your book recommendations. Stoked for the book club
I absolutely adore these videos! I love getting book recommendations and I feel like I can always trust your taste~
The content, education, inspiration, editing, aesthetic...why is everything so perfect?😳
I screamed when I got a notif for this video ❤️❤️❤️ honestly I live for these book recs videos 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
I love Jenn's book recommendation videos, she just has a way of making every story sound so interesting, even books that I would never think to pick up on my own
Pachinko!! I read it over a year ago but it definitely sticks with me. Currently reading Dear Edward and I’m really enjoying it so far!
If you haven't already, you should definitely give "Educated" by Tara Westover a read! It's one of my favorite books of all time!
Financial goals: be able to afford both a kindle and hardcopy of a book! I haven't read it yet but I'm looking to purchase by Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino after reading her piece in the New Yorker. I think you would enjoy "In The Woods" by Tana French, for a good thriller/mystery, which I read for a British lit class in college and truly enjoyed it.
“but the key is to find the right book.” So trueeee!
JENN LIKED THIS TWEET, GOOD MORNING??!! 🥺🥰
Jenn, your book recommendations are always on point!
Definitely "the courage to be disliked." It's my life-changing book, and it is an enormous bestseller in Asian countries! The author states clearly "anyone can change, and be happy from NOW." He even denies trauma and talks so much more about life. I think you'll like it too bb

we have the SAME taste in books wow. I loved pachinko so much and little fires everywhere is so good. i'm reading americanah right now and it is also AMAZING!
Looking at comments with pachinko lovers who recommends another another book here, now I know what else comes next. Thanks ;)
@@dawnforlife l loved pachinko and americanah- I'd also highly recommend homegoing by yaa gyasi!
@@jesss218 Yay! Thanks!
I recommend the Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami (A famous Japanese writer) I feel like there’s so much philosophy in it, and he is known to make his stories very dream-like.
Valley of the Dolls is one of my favorite books. I actually tried to read it one time and only got 28 pages into it before deciding to put it down and pick it up at another time. Then when I did pick it back up I read it so quickly!

Been in a really long book reading slump. Hopefully this pushes me to get back to my reading

Hi everyone it's your girl Jenn~~~ I love the opening all the time❤️
I definitely need to check these out. I need to force myself to read more books again! Thanks for recommendations!
pachinko is amazing!! it's a great recvomendation - heavy, yet a profound read
Kazuo Ishiguro is an amazing writer. One of the few authors that writes in a way where you can be completely wrapped up in the book and simultaneously reflecting on your life --- Never Let Me Go is one of my favorites :))
Jenn, you always have the best reading recommendations! Dear Girls by Ali Wong is face-hurting, big-belly-laughing good!
I'll definitely have to check out after I do, sounds right up my alley
the timing of this video though!!! i've been wanting some good new book recs (and my type of fav books are similar to yours!) thanks for this video jenn
This is going to hurt, telling stories from the perspective of a former frontline doctor in NHS. It is going to make you laugh so hard and also sad in the same time. Worth a read! x
I recommend A Darker Shade of Magic!! It took me two days to finish it but it's a page turner!
'normal people' was one of my quickest reads and so consuming, read it in one sitting!
