hi all!! in Japan right now so won't be able to respond to comments right away. I hope you're all doing well. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY READING! I want to know. :)
I'm Reading 'Fear the Hunted' by Jinn Nelson. It's about an orphan girl who obtains a magic sword and incites a rebellion against a tyrant king. Next, I'm going to read Dune
Sarah Faith I’ve seen it. I plan on reading it for sure. I just didn’t mention it 🙂 I’m kind of considering it a part of my Lunar Chronicles read even if it’s not related.
Hey Jesse, I think you are really great at explaining and recommending books, and you would really reach out to younger kids to promote reading with books that I think we both think they would love to read. I believe that younger kids and our generation would be really grateful to a kind and understand book-tuber like you for spreading the love and respect for reading.
I devoured Nevermoor and the sequel Wundersmith by Jessica Townsend, and even though I am a bit older than the target group, it was SO AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!! I completely fell in love with it and waiting for the next book is torture! I also read The Perks of Being a Wallflower in just one day and adored it, so I really recommend that one as well!
I lOVED a short history of the girl next door. I was blindsided by the sadness but it was amazing. I've never heard any booktubers talk about it before but i'm glad you liked it too!
Okay, you *need* to read the Skulduggery Pleasent series! Its kind of fantasy, mystery, jam-packed with end-of-the-world senarios. It is more aimed towards young teens but really anyone could enjoy these. I am currently *obsessed* but I don't want to say too much cos I'm basically a spoiler despenser lmao!
I really enjoy your channel, and your opinions about books are spot on. I would love to see you do a "reading booktubers favorite books" video! That would be so fun to watch!
I have a book series for you to read if you haven't yet, you should read *The Testing* series, it's amazing! I have read these books twice since I found out about them and I fell in love automatically! It's more of a futuristic book but in a completely different way. The main characters name is Malencia Vale and she studies really hard while she is in school so she can get into The Testing and go to The Univercity if she passes the test. Turns out, the test is deadly, and only 20 out of (I think) 120 kids will make it out....but what happens to those who fail?
They all sound great!! A book series I would recommend is The Shadow Children by Margaret Peterson Haddix! It's based in the future and families are only allowed to have two kids, but some have three ( and they are called Shadow children because they must live in the shadows). It's every good and I read it really fast because the books are easy reads but it's amazing!!
Your Hannah Montana references made my Monday so much better. I’ve been wanting to read more books about faeries since reading Lord of Shadows, but I need to attempt to finish some more books off my TBR pile before I get Cruel Prince.
I've recently read 'The Raven Boys' and I couldn't stop reading. All the mystery was amazing and I lived for Gansey and Blue. Also, that feeling when you see a book you love on someone's self... =] =] =]
'The Last Namsara' written by Kristen Ciccarelli was a super fast read for me! It captivates you and drags your feelings in the dirt (in a good way). I defiently recommend this one to dragon lovers and adventure seekers!
The Key To Extraordinary by Natalie Lloyd is a very fast read with an amazing, unique main character and heavy themes of friendship and family, especially family traditions and legacies. There are also some friendly ghosts. (Not scary ghosts. This book is very not-scary.) It's amazing and I read it in only a few hours.
I can confirm that you can devour the shatter me series really quickly! I read the whole thing in less then a week ( Including the novellas besides shadow me.) so I could watch the amazing booksplosion live-show live!
The Cruel Prince is a book that I honestly can say lives up to ALL the hype. I slowed myself down while reading just so I could make it last longer. Not everyone’s cup of tea but definitely mine.
Books that were mentioned in this video: - the devouring Gray - the shatter me series - every heart a doorway - every one’s an alien when you’re an alien too - the cruel prince - a short history of the girl next door -
ok, so this is your best video, ever. There are so. many. memes. SO. MANY. MEMES. I LOLED SO MANY TIMES (and to answer your question, I´m currently rereading Neverewhere by Neil Gaiman, and also Rovdjur (a swedish book) by Caroline L. Jensen)
2 recommendations. The chronicles of Narnia are super easy, I started to love reading because of these. The world is beautiful, the characters lovable and frustrating at times (Susan....) and the growth the world has, seeing it in its most beautiful and most horrible moments makes you sad but extremely happy when things get right because you love the land. Also a really short book, Clockwork by Phillip Pullman. It’s creepy, easy to read, it got me out of a reading slump and the story just keeps you on and on. It got me in the edge of the seat even tho its like 110 pages long and it has pictures and the words are huge. Both, the chronicles of Narnia as a whole and clockwork are beautiful books.
The second book in the Wayward Children Series is my favorite! I put them both on my favorites list of last year they are perfect quick reads to get you out of reading slump or to knock off a book for a readathon! Great Recommendation!!
I devoured Keeper of the Lost Cities book 1, it went by so fast even though it was long! I also completely devoured Everything, Everything, having read it in one day. Chronicles of Vladimir Tod was a book I read really fast, and Scythe by Neal Shusterman (which I am rereading right now)
I love your chanel so much, i'm a reader from germany and I always watch your vieos and always end up with 1 or 2 new books I want to read :) I hope I can buy new ones soon 😊
I stopped doing my homework to come watch. My list called "Books I must read because Jesse the Reader has read them" is growing every video. Thank you Jesse!!!
I’m flying through My Sister, the Serial Killer. Chapters are short. Text is grim but nonchalant somehow... Anyway, I’m 50% in, and only picked it up yesterday. I can feel this as one of my top picks of 2019! 🤗
I can relate to when you're reading a book and you look up and its like,midnight.I have started reading a book at 8pm and I finish it and I look up and its 3am...I just don't get how you do it but im not complaining
Have you ever read any of Harlan Cobens books? The ones I've read so far are AMAZING!! I love the plot twists and characters! So far I've read "Home" and "Gone for Good". My big sister let me borrow a couple of his novels she has, it's nice to have a sister who loves books as much as I do 😂.
Hey Jesse 😊 I want to ask you how you take notes of books you are reading and what you are writing down. Like, are you analyzing the writing style or the story? Because I have no idea how I should take notes for a review 😅 I only recently found different booktubers by accident and your channel and videos are a great inspiration for me to read more different genres and write reviews (and maybe even write a story myself) so that’s why I wanted to ask you ☺️
this is a great question.. kinda wish jesse responded but i can tell you i just annotate my books... highlight things that stuck out to me... write down the names of the characters and their relationship to the main character as well.. that works for really big books... just have fun and when you're done.. you can go back.. see what you highlighted and then write your review based on that..i hope that helps
So I’m a new viewer (hey there) and I just saw that you have the Legend trilogy on your shelves. Those are literally my favorite books and I hope you even read them because I haven’t meet anyone else who has. I cried at the end. Im ready for Rebel.
I read the first book in Shatter Me series. Wasn't a fan but my friends would never let me DNF it. Also, my subcribers have asked for reviews. Seems like, I definitely have to continue.

I read Gentleman's Guide in two days and Sadie in one night. Amazing books!
I m interested in choice of your emoji..🤣🤣🤣
Jesse, you are just too good to be true man. Love your vids. You're so energetic and funny and you always seem to put a smile on my face. 😄
YES I see the House of Hades in the background
My favorite book!
Love your channel by the way!
Ahhh I saw you, Natasha and Christine in the disney visa ad, you guys were so cute!!!!
I spit my water when he said “shpooky”. He’s the best🥰
Todays mood just went up after I saw your notification.
Currently rereading "an absolutely remarkable thing" I fell in LOVE...

Jordan Sorrell omg, same! Except I’m on the 3rd book of the heroes of Olympus Series (the spin off series for Percy Jackson and the Olympians series)
@@Slow_Internet oh sweet
Jordan Sorrell I’m sorry the same comment repeated 3 times. I was having network issues
I'm so jealous of you right now... I wish I could unread those books just so I could read them again !!!
I HEARD RIVERDALE AND STRANGER THING, i love it
1) the editing really snapped
2) im in love w your eyes (and you)
3) you’re so valid
Okay its 01:38 at night but I think your video is a good finish to my day😂💞
Emilija Poškutė 1:08 here but I agree
I've bumped into three people and stumbled upon two videos that referenced Hannah Montana today. Am I missing something here?
i think miley cyrus dyed her hair blonde and posted some instas referencing hannah montana so people got excited thinking hm was coming back
Honestly you had me at Riverdale meets Stranger Things with The Devouring Grey. I’ll be reading that once I finish The Lunar Chronicles.
Sarah Faith I’ve seen it. I plan on reading it for sure. I just didn’t mention it 🙂 I’m kind of considering it a part of my Lunar Chronicles read even if it’s not related.
Everytime I hear about the Shatter Me series I think of X-Men Rogue. Anyone else?
Anyone?
No?
Just me?
Okay.
H. Stryker
Nope. It was probably the first thing that came into my mind when I first saw it to be honest, lol.
Your energy makes me want to read every book in existence. . . NOW! 😂
Sadie was definitely a quick read for me because it's so captivating!
His videos always give me such a calm vibe. Like a summer day, and I have a big TBR stack with plenty of time to get through it.
Hey Jesse, I think you are really great at explaining and recommending books, and you would really reach out to younger kids to promote reading with books that I think we both think they would love to read.

The entire illuminae files trilogy is another one you can read super fast x
I lOVED a short history of the girl next door. I was blindsided by the sadness but it was amazing. I've never heard any booktubers talk about it before but i'm glad you liked it too!
I read the cruel prince two days ago and I literally devoured it. I love it so muuuuuuuuch
Jesse! I'm such a huge fan of yours and I honestly bought some of the books you're recommending. I didn't know your an ARMY! OMG
I'm reading Six of Crows and I'm really excited. i love your videos they are so funny!
Okay, you *need* to read the Skulduggery Pleasent series! Its kind of fantasy, mystery, jam-packed with end-of-the-world senarios.

i feel like you’d really love The Devouring Grey it definitely was creepy and great to read around Halloween so you can get spooked :p
I've recently read 'The Raven Boys' and I couldn't stop reading. All the mystery was amazing and I lived for Gansey and Blue. Also, that feeling when you see a book you love on someone's self... =] =] =]
Those bookshelves looks so organized and nice 😍
'The Last Namsara' written by Kristen Ciccarelli was a super fast read for me! It captivates you and drags your feelings in the dirt (in a good way). I defiently recommend this one to dragon lovers and adventure seekers!
I just started Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak who’s my fav author 💛 third Zusak book I’ve read-pumped.
The Key To Extraordinary by Natalie Lloyd is a very fast read with an amazing, unique main character and heavy themes of friendship and family, especially family traditions and legacies. There are also some friendly ghosts. (Not scary ghosts. This book is very not-scary.) It's amazing and I read it in only a few hours.

The boy in the striped pajamas was a quick read. I was bawling my eyes out at the end though...
Scythe series and stalking Jack the Ripper series are SO GOOD
The Cruel Prince is a book that I honestly can say lives up to ALL the hype. I slowed myself down while reading just so I could make it last longer. Not everyone’s cup of tea but definitely mine.
Books that were mentioned in this video:
- the devouring Gray
- the shatter me series
- every heart a doorway
- every one’s an alien when you’re an alien too
- the cruel prince
- a short history of the girl next door

I just finished listening to The Cruel Prince on the Libby app and I have to wait for the next one to be to listening to it.
It's been a long time since i have speed read a book but it was back in the beginning of 2017 and the book was Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.
Currently reading Daisy Jones. I read all these except the first and last - and agree with the recs, I may pick up the last one thanks!
“It comes in like a wrecking ball” 😂
So I’m a new viewer (hey there) and I just saw that you have the Legend trilogy on your shelves. Those are literally my favorite books and I hope you even read them because I haven’t meet anyone else who has. I cried at the end. Im ready for Rebel.

Same that's all I was reading during my summer (plus his other books) 😂

A series that i loved was the summoners trilliogy
OH MY APRIL 2ND IS TOMORROW!!! I GOTTA COP THE DEVOURING GRAY!!!
I didn't watch much of the video, but the Wings of Fire series is a devouring read.
I should probably go back and watch some of the video.
Some books I think I devoured are: Geekerella, the book thief, my lady jane, twuthwitch, hot dog girl, royals, caraval and so many more!(:
Please read the strange and beautiful sorrows of Ava lavender, you will devour it but it’s one of those books that hits you hard
I am reading The Chamber of Secrets!!
If I'm not mistaken...every heart a doorway is becoming a TV show
Please do a bookshelf tour! ;;
