Thanks for all your support!
Hot take: being an adult who mainly enjoys and reads ya and/or middle grade does not make you less of a reader.
Oh thank you!!!!! SOOO MUCHH!!!! That's me!! I'm an adult who loved YA nd am always criticized!!
Im a YA, but Im into middle grade reads recently.
True words, I still read children books some of them are really good and imaginative.
I’m fourteen and love YA books, but I also love reading adult books, especially Stephen King’s books.
Evil Chaos I’m not an adult myself but I’m in middle school, yet most the people in my ELA class read books owned by our teacher and out school. Then you’ve got me reading Carry On and the Monsters Of Verity. I tend to stick to certain genres. (Historical fiction, fantasy, mystery, and horror). Then you’ve got my friends reading cheesy romances. I’m literally the only person who’s read certain books and it kills me not being able to talk to someone about those books 😂
I, too, wish we had a blockity blockity button in real life.
Its called murder
Ya I need one too!
Billur Aral that took a dark turn
@@billuraral1870 uh
@@billuraral1870 I know I've tried it 🥱
I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I read “reacting to hot cakes” and I was like: ok that’s different but it’s Jesse! I support everything he does. I wouldn’t mind if you react to hot cakes 😂
I love this comment lol
Val Sangster I did it too! 🤣
lol
I wouldn't even be surprised
I do this all the time!
Val Sangster
I’m Surprised I didn’t do that! 😂😂
Seeing characters with ADHD and dyslexia in percy jackson is definitely one of the factors that caused me to latch onto it more than I ever did harry potter when I was younger.
Same.
Same for me! Since I have ADHD and I read the series when I was young it really made me feel special and like I could be a hero too. That series will forever hold a special place in my heat
@@nyx_iridescent9206 That's so wholesome 😊
Leela Whittlinger, Awww thank u ☺️
I love Harry Potter so much, but I think I love Percy Jackson just as much because of the more recent series, like The Trials of Apollo or Magnus Chase, because the characters are more diverse, and therefore easier to relate to.
“You’re a book-reading unicorn” -Jesse 2019
XD loved that part
Make that into a tshirt
Like if you’re a book-reading unicorn 🦄🦄🦄
"theres no right way to be obsessed with books" I love that
I refuse to choose between my queen Hermione and my baby Nico
It's like asking which one of your children you love the most. And I consider myself a good parent which means that I love them equally.
(But like now I can't stop thinking about how passionate discussion would both of them have on the topic "he just doesn't see ANYTHING").
@@Damayanti-ml4rp that's so true, I love all my children equally. I can also totally see a discussion happening and wouldn't mind reading a crossover fanfic about it btw
Omg same. I love them both soooo much.
(Btw I love your profile pic)
@@annag1740 love yours too
@@lifewithcita thank you 😊
"You are entitled to your...onion"
Made me laugh so hard😂
hey when does he say that? time stamp please?
@@saumya9173 It's when he's talking about the John Green hot take, around 8:22 to 8:27
Cat Carstairs
Same! I died! 😂
LMAO SAME
"oftentimes when people post hot takes they're just a bit bored and want to cause some controversy and get some drama on their feed" ok but that's twitter in a nutshell. that's why i stay far away from that place.
Twitter is just an online Burn Book! 🤣
“percy jackson is better than harry potter” i’m SO GLAD i’m not the only one who thinks that. don’t get me wrong, i love harry potter and it will always hold a special place in my heart, but percy jackson is the series i will always hold dear
Same! I thought the exact same thing!!!^.^
For me it‘s Charlie Bone. I read it as a kid and loved it. I am more attached to the HP movies than to the films.
Me too!!!!!!!
Me too 💜
Me too !
Percy Jackson definitely tops my favorite books list. Mainly because it’s centered around Greek mythology.
Yeah....same
Yessss
Same!! Plus, The portrayals in the books are on Point!
Sameeeee
@@ozwithnolastname doesn’t matter because rick describes and develops characters in his own way and I like it better that way too
Starting today when I introduce myself I shall say: "Hi my name is Jess and I'm a book-reading unicorn."
"You're more than good enough. You're valid. You're important. You're beautiful." -Jesse the Reader
BEST QUOTE OF THE DAY THANK YOU
Yeah I needed that
@Alexandria Muse yes. Yes we can.
About the john green hot take: I've heard a lot lately that "all his books are the same" and "all the love interests are just manic pixie dreams" and it started to affect my opinion but thinking about it now as I'm older, his books were exactly what I needed at the age I read them. Not every book needs to be held up as a classic
I vould write an entire essay about this!
I reread all my john green books last week ans honestly, i didn't love them as much as i used to. But i think i read TFIOS and PT at the right time when i first read them
Honestly I loved the sarcasm and humor in Percy Jacksons more.
I also related to the characters more
“I’ll be ur google” jeeeezzz ty
"Synopses these days are FILLED WITH SPOILERS"
I literally went "I know right!!"
The amount of times I have spoiled myself with the synopses is unhealthy and rage inducing
7:52 this was the equivalent to a hug and a "it's going to be okay" from jesse and for that... thank you!
"I'm weak for books, beautiful books " relatable
"You're entitled to your own onion" - Jesse
Damn I have a test tomorrow but I should stay true to my priorities
Haha I have _two_ tests today
Lol test gang
How did they go? :)
My hot take is this:
Every male character in the Throne of Glass series is the exact same person.
Karkat Vantas AGREED
I haven't even read this series but that's just hilarious 😂
@@NilaR93 Let me save you the trouble. They're all brooding, stoic badboys who are extremely possessive over the main character, and get jealous when any other man so much as looks at her. They also sometimes act abusive towards the main character. Their bad behaviour is excused because they have a tragic backstory, or because that's just what their species is like (ew). They're also overwhelmingly arrogant and annoying, as well as sexually aggressive. Dorian isn't exactly like this, but as of the end of Empire of Storms (where I quit the series), it was where he was headed. The only character who was remotely tolerable was Sam Cortland, who was a character from the prequel novellas. But he's dead in the main story.
@@karkatvantas9557 I had absolutely no plans to read the series, but now I kinda want you to write a summary of it for me 😂 ah hate it when the backstory becomes the shtick for a character 😑 thanks for the heads up! And also the very entertaining review 👍🏾
Except Dorian (in the first 5-6 books)
i didnt skip the ads so you can buy as many editions of your books as you want 😂
That’s sweet. My New Years resolution is be more like this random person online! Have a good day
Now I finally understand what a hot take is 😂
Same.
My hot take: E-Readers are superior to physical books in almost all ways BUT I still prefer physical books better and always chose them over e-books.
Hot take - e Books are superior to physical book in almost all ways. I prefer e-books. Except when the power goes out!! Then I get bored!!!
Physical books are ten thousand times better than e-books. Maybe that's because I, personally, can't read e-books. I always read the first sentence or paragraph and I just never come back to it again. And audiobooks just don't do it for me. So physical it is!
I like both- Harry Potter and Percy Jackson
Like of you feel the same
Harry Potter and Percy Jackson are really close for me, but Harry Potter has the nostalgia factor
Yessssss
KENJI FOR PRESIDENT, YES!
10/10 would endorse
1:37 I respect you for having the 10th anniversary edition of City of Bones and the original.
It's hard for me to choose between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson because HP is what really got me into fantasy and that is now my favorite genre. But I love PJO so much, more than HP. (oof, yes, I said it.)
But both the series are so different and I love them both for different reasons. I feel like I'm cheating on HP with PJO sometimes but oh well.
But yeah fine whatever I choose Percy :')
“Listen up muggles!” Jesse 2019
This is my favorite thing he has said/written all year, Jesse you really make me laugh
One of my best friends didn’t like to read and one day we went to a book tasting thing at out school and she found a book she liked, then a few weeks later she asked us for help to find books with a similar to genre and I felt so happy that she found that she didn’t hate reading
I feel like I have the same opinion on the Percy / Harry one as you, but they’re just switched around.
Since I read Percy Jackson before I read Harry Potter, I have to say that my favourite will always be Percy. I usually tell people that Percy Jackson was my Harry Potter because I grew up with it coming out every year, whereas when I read Harry Potter, they were all already out.
BUT that is not to say I think one is better than the other! I just have more personal connection to Percy, probably because of when I read it.
I think they are both phenomenal so yay everyone for having their own opinions!😁
Hot take: The Jacob and Emma pairing is the equivalent of Steve Rodgers going back in time to be with Peggy in Infinity War.
You mean Endgame.
Jesse: *starts ranting about overused sayings*
Me, a dumpster-fire writer: *nervous laughter*
Although I love Harry Potter, I will always be a sucker for Percy Jackson no matter his age or the series he appears in. I will read anything Percy Jackson related .Even a Cooking book or a guide to PJO's world. Hold on... THERE IS ONE!
Harry Potter was the first series I really enjoyed, I devoured it when I was seven and. Harry Potter has always been there for me, and when my parents were splitting up, I used Harry Potter as my mini escape pod. I even took Hermione as my confirmation name.
HOWEVER.
I recently read Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus and I'm half way through Magnus Chase. The diversity was something I hadn't seen in Harry Potter. I enjoyed reading it so much and it helped me accept me, something Harry Potter didnt really do. The acceptance that Percy jackson had shown people is incredible to me and as a series I think its really underrated. Riordanverse deserves so much more recognition.
So, I think both of them tie as my all time favourite series.
Sorry is this was boring lmao.
I read Percy Jackson after Harry Potter and I still like Percy Jackson better (super unpopular ik) but just by a little but.
I totally see this, I think the Percy Jackson universe is better OVERALL, but my fave will always be the original HP series even though I don't like any of the spinoffs haha
YOU ARE SUNSHINE IN HUMAN FORM
“You’re a book reading unicorn” needs to be a t-shirt
I love how Jesse's own personal hot takes were sprinkled throughout this video. Like I see you.
AHHH MY HOT TAKE MADE IT IN THE VIDEO 😆💜💜
I love the way you edit your videos. They just put me in such an energetic and good mood
On the whole “judging people based on what they read thing” I’m taking a public speaking class and did my open topic speech on why YA and Middle grade books still count as reading I used Eliza and Her Monsters as an example and started getting a little emotional about, my teacher literally didn’t understand why I’d get so passionate or emotional about someone else’s opinions on what I read and I just had to think while I don’t really care what people say about my reading not everyone has that mind set and it might stop them from reading at all I mean just let people read what they want as long as they’re reading 🤷🏼♀️
when you're this early to a jesse the reader video i heard it gives you good luck. so i hope i have good luck today.
HARRY POTTER👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I just started my booktube channel and I am pumped!!
AwesomeBooktube great videos keep it up 👍

“The book hustle” ALWAYS GETS ME. I’m a full time college student, working full time, and a YoungLife leader - I cannot read more than one book a month (at most) 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Reading just one book is great! At least you are reading and enjoying the reader life.
i have 3 copies of the throne of fire [all the same cover] and multiple copies of other rick riordan books in the Percy Jackson Universe too
Sometimes, if you look on the copyright page, there'll be a one or two sentence summery of the book and when it's there, it's nearly always a better representation of the book than the actual summery.
I love your personality and your editing! I’m literally crying with laughter with every one of your vids! 😂😆
Team Percy Jackson 💙⛲🌊
It's just superior and more FUN in every way. Characters, writing style, humor, mythology. 😍💙💙
I read Percy Jackson first, and I freaking love mythology, so I prefer him over Harry Potter.
I hate it when a specific book hits too close to home but I'm also a sucker for books that I can relate with without stressing myself too muh.
"You're a Book Reading Unicorn" dang that's relatable af❤💛💚💙💜
When you said about the Percy Jackson and Harry Potter thing I was holding my Harry Potter book then I dropped it when you said that because I was shocked someone would say that
Well, there are too many people think that PJO is better than HP, just like me. I totally respect your opinion though...
Pjo IS better than hp tho,just my opinion
Idk but the riordanverse has more character,diversity and more Relatible
I love your positivity !!!!
“If only there was a blockity blockity button in real life.” Oh, how I wish their was.
Ella Mel restraining orders :)
I love love love certain books on my shelves that I've only read once. Because it's hard for me to sit through it again. I go back for certain scenes but not the entire book.
Also about two copies of the same book, I have a copy of Hollow City that literally fell apart as soon as I got it. (the glue wasn't in I guess dunno) but as soon as I get another copy of it I'm not gonna throw out the other copy. I read that one first. I taped those pages in. Literally.
Dude I hate when people say that graphic novels aren’t reading! I don’t understand the logic because it’s a literal book with pages and then what are picture books? Not reading? Also buying new releases helps the authors 😄
You’re such an amazing BookTuber!!! I absolutely love your videos! I could be having a bad day, and I’ll watch your videos and I’ll be so much happier!!! Such a fun amazing video!!! 💕💕💕
"Dang me, dudes!" Imma say that now.
"Your entitled to your onion!"
XD I died
Jesse, your motivational speeches are the best, YOU are a precious book reading unicorn
Thank you for the motivational speeches, really needed that today 😂
Most of the criticism I've seen for John Green books are more about his characterization/apparently he uses a lot of manic pixie dream girl vibes.
My hot take: you shouldn't force yourself to read a book for any reason, read the books you want to read, you have no obligation or at least you shouldn't.
(Cough cough school cough)
eeeeeek. A Jesse upload (the booktuber that got me back into reading) with a fierce yellow shirt ⭐️🖤
2:34 me when all my friends tell me my reading obsession has gone too far
That shatter me book dance with that music killed me!! 😂😂
heres mine: If i read a book that i might not enjoy, i listen to the audio book and if i like the voice, its way better and usually changes my opinion. Example: Twilight series. Audiobooks are my backups lol
😂 “ your a book reading unicorn” omg I love that so much ♥️
I was literally staring at your Collector's Editions of Six Of Crows and Crooked Kingdom do most of the video 😂
I always judge a book by its cover. If it has a cool cover I’ll be more attracted to it. Or what people recommend to me. But I bought one of my favorite books because it had a nice cover....
4:45 That is so true!!! I use to *HATE* reading till I found this one book and fell in love. Then I read another (that was different) and fell in love with that! Now I have dozens of different types of books that I just can't stop reading! I'm a bookworm now!
this is gonna be a tea filled video.
Percy Jackson, always 💙
Btw I love your shirt 💛
Yess!! I was so happy to hear that you loved fangirl but wasn’t the biggest fan of the Simon and Baz parts because I’m exactly the same way!!
You're a book reading unicorn!
Thank you Jesse thank you 😊😊😊
9:30 Same, I got so irritated while re-reading Red Queen when “Rise, red as the dawn” would pop up cause I swear its used in almost every. Single. Chapter. Still love Red Queen tho
Rereading counts as reading, because if it doesn't I've been rereading Library of Souls and A Map of Days over and over for no reason
I read some of my books on my Kindle and when one comes along that I find absolutely amazing I grab a physical copy to add to my future book shelf
Hot take: Listening to an audio book is still reading. This one hits very close to home for me because I am dyslexic and the only reason I started reading was because of audio books.
In Germany, we read English Graphic Novels in school😂 My bookish heart loves it!
I’m reading a graphic novel for school this year it’s so cool. The literature curriculum is so varied and I love that. And once a year, we get a list of 5-20 books and we can choose which of those we’ll read. I feel like the teachers really make an effort to make us like literature
3:15 I have unhauled books because I thought I would never read them again and that's how I felt at that moment... Now I deeply regret it and I want them back 😂 maybe at some point you'll feel like you won't want to reread something, but... don't be so sure about that... except if you didn't like it obviously. That's my opinion on the matter 😅 ... ok bye 😅😅😅
3:44 it reminded me of a quote from inkheart.
4:45 my first book is one of my least favorite books. Thank gggoodd I didn't give up on books because of it :,)
I don't generally keep books I won't read again, that being said I have one book that I can't bring myself to get rid of because it was given to me by a friend who passed away, and everytime I look at it I see her.
I Just came from finishing Carry On and I’m trying not to cry
7:39 - 7:52 THIS IS LITERALLY ME, LIKE I'M THE EMBODIMENT OF THIS. MOOD!
"You're a book reading unicorn"
Jesse, you officially just made my day! Ahahhaha
I barely read anymore, but one of my favourite TH-camrs is jessethereader. Why am I like this.......?!
I read Maus in year 12 (senior year for reference) and it was one of the books we could choose to write about in our final examinations, genuinely one of the best graphic novels I've ever read and chances are I might never have read it if it wasn't in my curriculum
yellow looks so good on you!!!
I LOVED THIS VIDEO
I love this kind of videos!
I actually TOTALLY agree with paperbacks being better. That smooth cover, flexible book, ability to flip through all the pages. I love them so much!
Yes!!! We read Maus in school, however, they took it out of the curriculum a couple years ago :( no more graphic novels in the curriculum. Also I agree about the Simon and Baz parts of Fangirl! Tho I wouldn’t cut them out bc of how they helped her and Levi connect.
I read fangirl a couple of years ago and I have so many good memories with that book.. the nostalgia!! I’m a sucker for nostalgia too for sure (also, gasps, I always include my rereads how could I not)
