22 books haha, some signed copies , special editions, but the main ones were Cruel Prince, Shatter Me, The Caraval Trilogy, Dune, books 2 and 3 of shadow and bone, Illuminae, legend born; and a bunch of Disney’s twisted tales
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE READING THE LEGENDBORN SERIES! I know that series are not your fave, but I'm glad to see that you like it. I read it in 24 hours, and I'm excited to read the next. I hope you like the next book, even if you don't love everything about it.
I love your book hauls, especially when you unbox things. Unfortunately I do not live in the instagram or tiktok spheres so I’ll probably miss your next ones if you post them exclusively over there. If you could also put those on here as shorts, that would be the best of both worlds for me 😊
I keep two reading journals. In one, every day I write down what page I started on in each of the 4 or so books I'm reading. Then I write down my progress, like (abbreviation for title of book) page 50, 250 pages to go. I try to read 75 pages per day unless I'm really pushing to finish a book, like I did at the end of 2022. I actually got the idea for my other reading journal from you, Jesse, where I write down the date I finish a book, the title and author, whether it was a reread for me or I read it for the first time, and then I rate it one to five stars for writing style, characters, plot, pacing, world building, and as a whole. I got the idea from your Magic 8 Ball video. Everybody reading this, if you can read, you can keep a reading journal. You got this!
2 videos in the same week WTF!!! That you Jesse for this amazing gift!! 😍😍😍✨ Also, in case I don’t see ya, who’s you all a great year! Even if it’s because it finished or because new one it’s starting ^-^
I literally just freaked out when you said "Dark Room Etiquette" and the queen herself - Robin Roe!!! I read all of her books as an e-verson and asked a friend, who studies in the States, to bring me the physical copies!!! This woman is incredible storyteller and I highly recommend her!!!
One book I picked up in the last week and finished was “What I like About You”. It was gripping, relatable, cute, had pretty setting, and invoking characters. Every character was different but also had a familiar feeling. I’d recommend it! I gave it a 7/10 :]
Literally just bought 2 books on Wendsday. The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and a thousand heartbeats by Kiera Cass. Just finished Queen Of Legends by Frost Kay and can't wait to start a new book.
just finished Legendborn! It was hard to get past the beginning cause it's very world building heavy but it's super great! It's got really good twists.
I am glad that your enjoying legendborn, I really enjoyed the series. It has been a while since I have enjoyed a series. Just because your not reading a series fast enough doesn't mean that your not enjoying it. Don't let people tell you otherwise. You are awesome and a great person. I love your videos.
Oh my gosh I loved Legendborn so much! Im planning on having Bloodmarked be my first read of 2023! I totally agree about the characters being the best!
I am excited to hear that it's taking you a while to read Ledgendborn, I tried to start it a while back and haven't gotten back to it, I may need to give it another try! I recently got Tokyo Ever After, Tokyo Dreaming, and Kate in Waiting in my recent book haul which are some of my favorite books so I am very excited to add them to my collection!
I picked up Wild is the Witch at the library in November and started it recently- Looking forward to what you think of it Jesse, I think you'll like it!
That book devourers box though...I don't go for book subscriptions because the shipping is close to the price of the box where I live, but if I were to I would go for illumicrate. I like their book selections and their aesthetics for what they give you in the box do align with mine, which cannot be said for all the other book boxes.
The journal in the babel box is so gorgeous. I NEEEEEEEEEED that great libraries book pot 😍😍😍 in the opposite about legend born lol. I like the plot and want to know where it is going but the characters are meh to me. Happy new year!!!!!!
Hey Jesse, Happy New Year 🎈🎊🎆 🎉 and I’m excited to see more of content of course all the books you’ll be reading 📖 I’m reading You’ve Reached Sam by Dustin Thao I’m loving it ❤
Great Video Jesse and I’m so excited to finally relax Bloodmarked once I finish the book I’m currently reading it’s by a new author for me ever heard of Sophie Lark? And the book is called Anastasia and it’s a magic twist on the story and so far I’m loving it 😊 Have a Happy And Healthy New Year Jesse see you in 2023 🎊🎊😊
I just finished rule of wolves last night (last in the Grishaverse) and it sets itself up for another adventure but if the series doesn’t continue I’ll be so sad
I read two books that you loved; Why We Broke Up and A List of Cages... I looooved ALoC and HATED WWBU. It's so interesting how different people feeo about different books. Im so excited for Dark Room Etiquette !
I got four manga for Christmas volume 1 and 2 the way of the house husband from my mom Jessie I think you would have it so funny and fire force volume 30 and the duke of death and his maid volume 4
I admit I am a hater of the darkling. But that is not the main reason why I am very unimpressed with Demon in the Wood. I read the short story because it was attached to my edition of Ruin and Rising, and it is my least favourite of her short stories. I was also trying to understand the love people had for his character because I find him very dull. It could have been good, but not with the story she chose. If it was just a story of his training and him and Bagrha trying to get by while interacting with other grisha and how they lived during that time, I would have loved it despite my dislike of the darkling and how much a drag he is to read about. But it wasn't that. Instead, I got a story that was barely a story that was unremarkable and flat, and the only thing I enjoyed was learning how the grisha used to live. When I learned it was being adapted into a graphic novel my first question was why because any other of her short stories would have made a better adaption because there is more of a story to adapt. The only thing I am hopeful for is that this might mean more graphic novel adaptions of her short stories which I will love, I am particularly hopeful for a Tailor adaption which I think gives a real insight into Genya as a character and tells more details with her backstory. But somehow I doubt we'll be getting this.
I spent 300 dollars at barns and noble for their 50 percent off hard covers… no regrets
How many books did you get?! Also what books did you get? 😂🎉😮
@@Faerieshimmer I also desperately wanna know. I'm trying to not spend all my money on books rn lol
22 books haha, some signed copies , special editions, but the main ones were Cruel Prince, Shatter Me, The Caraval Trilogy, Dune, books 2 and 3 of shadow and bone, Illuminae, legend born; and a bunch of Disney’s twisted tales
I went after work with a list from my friend cause she couldn't make it and shopped for myself as well.
I spent only 98 dollars. I should've spend 500 😆.
"Show Daddy a little respect." I'M LAUGHING SO HARD!!! 🤣🤣🤣
And the sheer fact he's wearing a shirt that just says, "daddy" 🤣
I love how much emotion Jesse puts into this! He makes me excited and I don’t know any of these books XD
“And it’s like, how can you be excited for a dark book?” Me: *side-eyes my entire book collection*

OHMY the reading journal illustrations are so nice 👀
Yes! More Jesse content to finish the year out! Looking forward to 2023 content! :)

Hadn't heard of dark room etiquette and it was available on libby and so gonna dig in bc that premise sounds intriguing!
I finally finished my 2022 reading challenge!!! And yea I got the reward with Jesse's new video!!! Hoorayyy!
Literally just bought 2 books on Wendsday. The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and a thousand heartbeats by Kiera Cass. Just finished Queen Of Legends by Frost Kay and can't wait to start a new book.
I prefer watching book hauls on TH-cam as opposed to Instagram or somewhere like that
I’ve missed the book hauls.
Jesse, you can buy a picture easel to display those ceramic plates. That would look very nice.
The book eaters looks so cool! That’s one of my favorite covers/editions I’ve ever seen
Great haul! Happy reading!
just finished Legendborn! It was hard to get past the beginning cause it's very world building heavy but it's super great! It's got really good twists.

I picked up Wild is the Witch at the library in November and started it recently- Looking forward to what you think of it Jesse, I think you'll like it!
I got The Whispering Dark in my Owlcrate box. It was so good! I really hope you like it.
That book devourers box though...I don't go for book subscriptions because the shipping is close to the price of the box where I live, but if I were to I would go for illumicrate.

11:42 lol, we all felt that
a moment of silence for all the great books with ugly covers pls
I have yet to read a book by Robin Roe.
Thanks for sharing Kelly Andrew!
The journal in the babel box is so gorgeous. I NEEEEEEEEEED that great libraries book pot 😍😍😍 in the opposite about legend born lol. I like the plot and want to know where it is going but the characters are meh to me.
Happy new year!!!!!!
Never thought I'd see Jesse wearing a shirt that says "daddy" in Gothic font, but here we are.
I love your edition of Babel!
I loved Legendborn! And I just ordered Bloodmarked and can’t wait to read it! And happy New Year!
