For Frankenstein I have to recommend the 1818 edition. It has some more interesting and revolutionary themes within it that Shelley has to tone down for the later release. A good rule of thumb is that if a copy of Frankenstein doesn’t say 1818 on it, it’s the newer edition because the 1818 version wasn’t really being analysed until more recently.
An acquaintance of mine who was a horror novelist told me many years ago that everyone in the genre respected Stephen King immensely, because even though he was the most successful horror writer of the century, he still sat down everyday and wrote like he was starting out and remained dedicated to the craft. He also told me King's editor would still sometimes send back his stuff, saying "Stephen, this just isn't good enough," and he'd rewrite it.
I just think you’re bloody great. You’re cheeriness and enthusiasm about such simple (but fab) things as books, in these crappy times, are so nice to see/hear. Thank you 😊😊
Love the way she pronounces 'books'. Also I think Jen has convinced me to add Jurrasic Park and I am Legend to my reading list. You also might enjoy The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.
I love when she makes these types of videos! She's super interesting 😩! Jen, if you're reading this I absolutely love your whisper, when you go close to the mics. Could we get a full close up whisper video with those mics, pretty please!
I was nearly asleep but then I heard you reading the synopsis for the midnighters and I woke up immediately. The trilogy was my absolute favorite in middle school and over time I forgot about it and couldn’t remember what it was called. I just ordered all the books and now I’m off to sleep again!!
I love these boredom buster videos! I think that some fun ones could be: fave outfits, bands/albums, comics series, cartoons, characters, visual artists, podcasts if you like those! I just love listening to you ramble.
Few book series I recommend: Animorphs The Saga of Darren Shan (Cirque du Freak) Fantastic vampire series that also has a fantastic manga adaptation (the novels are still superior though) Deltora Quest Fablehaven Nightmare Academy And an individual book: 172 Hours on the Moon, great horror novel. From Stephen King, definitely the IT novel.
Hurrah, I love book sounds! For any Frankenstein fans/theatre fans- the National Theatre TH-cam channel will be uploading the stage performance of it on April 30/May 1, it features Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch!
I love Richard Matheson's I Am Legend and I agree that none of the film adaptations have come close to truly capturing the experience of that book. Of the other short stories included in that particular printing of the book, I think my favorite was a story called The Near Departed. For some reason, that one always stuck with me. If you're interested, there's a couple of TV movies that Richard Matheson wrote in the early 1970s that later helped inspire The X-Files and they still hold up today. The first one is called The Night Stalker and its sequel is called The Night Strangler. They're both about a reporter named Carl Kolchak who investigates a number of grisly murders that may or may not be the work of a vampire and/or other supernatural phenomenon. Since you seem to gravitate toward the horror genre, I would recommend you check out Michael Crichton's books The Terminal Man, Eaters of the Dead and Prey. They aren't your typical horror stories by any means, but they might be more up your alley than some of his other works. Also, since you took the time to comment on some film adaptations of Stephen King's books, I just wanted to say that The Running Man is easily one of the worst film adaptations I've ever seen.
Fun fact about Desperation, King wrote a sort of alternate universe version of the story (still centered around the demon Tak) under the pen name Richard Bachman called The Regulators. I love both but Regulators was one of the first King books I ever read and it stuck with me. I highly recommend it if you haven't read it.
You should totally do a boredom busters:cosplay video where you go through almost every cosplay you've done and show off a piece you made for each costume.
I love these videos. My fave ones are you being you, and I feel relaxed and happy seeing people talk about things they love. I cant get into fiction books I get distracted to much. But some of these do sound interesting. Some suggestions for more BB vids. Music. Your fave CDS as tapping on the cases or ipad screen if theyre digital would be *ok hand emoji*. And also cultesc Tv shows. Stuff that isnt "the thing to watch" and dont get recommended much. For example how EVERYONE recommends things like Breaking Bad or whatever is trending on Netflix. As a Brit I feel like we have loads of shows that not eveyone will have seen but are definately worth a watch like Garth Marenghi's Dark Place or Inside No9! I feel like they are your sort of thing if you havent seen them btw. Defintely excited for more chill talking videos, Id listen to you read the Dictionary in all fairness. Thanks for keeping us all entertained and relaxed. Stay safe.
Aww! You always make me smile with your comments, Helen! Music and TV shows are great ideas, I 'll make sure to try and remember to do those soon! Thanks so much for watching and for leaving such lovely comments! Keep safe!
I have been watching you since the beginning and we have actually messaged before but as watching this I am smiling from ear to ear when you first mention End Games and then I was hoping you would then bring up the.... and yep you did Midnight!!! You mentioned those books in one of your library videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️😉❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐💐💐💐 Much Love!
I dont think you understand how much i LOVE the way you say "oo" words. "BOOks" "COOkies" My brain melts with joy lol. Also i loved Dragon Teeth. Listened to it on audiobook. Id recommend Prey if you havent read it yet. Its one of my faves of his.
Oh memories! I've read the midnighters, I remember I loved that serie but not the end lol. Anyway scott westerfeld is such a great author. I hope that netglix will buy one dzy the right of the uglies series. Thank you for these good advices!! I love how you can get bargains with recent english books (get one and the second is half price). We don't see that often with french books... I love going to book shop when I'm doing citytrip to England.
Jen! I have recs for you! I think you’d enjoy! 1) 172 Hours on the Moon by Jason Harstad, 2) Out by Natsuo Kirino and 3) Night Film but Marisha Pessl ☺️ I adore books videos so this was fantastic!
Lovely, my favourite content! Btw, Jen, did your mum like the new Lee Child book you had got for her at Christmas? I am his big fan but this last one is not my favourite. As for the themes for the next video - hairstyles are great, also - movies? TV series? cosplay creating? All the best, keep safe!
The film of Dr S is much more true than The Shining, though due to how the shinning ended, the final third of DrS tends to differ. Also, running man is the Arnold swartzenager (sp?) movie, but that is VERY different than the book. Finally, I highly recommend The Long Walk. Forever been my favorite King novel, and it’s one of his darker ones. Also Salem’s Lot and Under the Dome are great.
Jenn, Congratulations on the braids! I still adore the way you pronounce "oo" sounding words like "books" and "tools." "Glossary" is the word you were wanting in regard to Frankenstein, I think.
Oh wow, I picked up IT after seeing the first part of the new movies. The book is....ya you're right, a bit of a slog that's for sure. Also, the Shining is one of my favourites as well! Amazing choices!
The Dark Tower was a really enjoyable read, a true magnum opus. I picked it back up recently after reading it as a teenager and realizing it hadn't been completed at that time. However, it does get pretty insane towards the end. I thought all the meta-stuff was funny, but it might put some people off.
Hello! 1st of all, braiding your own hair is no small feat, lol so congrats on that lol (I've never successfully done this lol.) 2nd, I think Sophie (ASMRplanet) has that shirt too!! I feel like you 2 would have some amusing conversations together:). 3rd- random, but I thought of you- have you read the comics that the Netflix show "Locke and Key" are based on/have you seen the Netflix show? I am quite curious for your thoughts/opinions on it. 😁 Anywho, thank you for another wonderfully relaxing video! ❤
I love her accent. But when she says books it reminds me of Mel B from Bo’ Selecta! 😂😂 Lewk! It’s my new Bewk! You just have to Lewk for it! It even comes with a free Bewkmark! Ya Bastard! Awooh! (Thumbs Up if you got the reference!)
" I remember somebodies tongue falls off in this one. I dont know why that stuck with me". To be fair, i'd be much more worried if that didnt stick with you.
Have you read any Joe Hill? He’s one of Stephen King’s sons and I’d put his writing on par with his dad’s, who also happens to be my favourite author ❤️
Also, I can tell you from personal experience that if you've been saddled with a surname like, say, "Finkelstein," and you get tired of the kids in elementary school calling you "Frankenstein," that whipping out the fun fact about Frankenstein being the scientist NOT the monster doesn't help in the slightest. Not only do they NOT stop calling you Frankenstein, they also may decide to beat you up for being a smart-ass.
Oh! "Frankenstein" is sooo underrated. Deep below the surface, it's really about individuals who bring a life into this world, and either abandon it completely or do a horrible job raising it. The book highlights the horrifying consequences of such actions. Also, when you're done with the book, might want to pick up Mary Shelly's "The Last Man." Very first Apocalypse novel of its kind. Far from perfect. The title gives it away, and in the very first sentence of the novel; we find out exactly who the last man left on Earth is. Also, the book takes place hundreds of years into the future. But technology of all kinds has remained stagnant since the 1820s. So a few problems, but it is the very first such novel. Then again, considering humanity is decimated due to a planetary pandemic outbreak, maybe not the ideal novel to read at this particular point in time. Sorry Jen.
@@deadeaded Ask someone what the novel is about. Guaranteed that you if you ask 100 people, *maybe* one of them will tell you that it's about irresponsible parenting or child abandonment; maybe. The rest will say it's a classic monster story with the vast majority thinking the monster's name is Frankenstein. That's why it's underrated. "The Picture of Dorian Gray" suffers from the very same issue. It gets dismissed as a good, classic horror. Dig deeper into the story, and what you find is a horrendous cautionary tale that many would use as a How-to Manual to live their lives. It's the only novel that seriously made me re-consider my very negative beliefs regarding censorship. That novel is truly dangerous. No one under 30 should read it. Thankfully very few bother to scratch the surface of it. It _is_ a cautionary tale. But many decide to enjoy the very thing such tales warn against. "The Prince" by: Machiavelli is a perfect example of what can easily happen to a cautionary tale. It's been used as a How-to Manual by every single ruthless dictator on the face of this planet for decades upon decades. Caused countless deaths and suffering. The author would be horrified if he knew what those men did with his book.
NGMonocrom it’s not underrated, one of the most praised novels ever. Also it’s a meme at this point to insist people don’t know the man is Frankenstein, lol. Basically everyone knows that I think some people keep saying it at this point because they think it’s funny. Anyone who has actually read this ultra famous classic knows it is actually about reckless parenting and abandonment, that’s the thing about classics most people don’t get around to reading them because they have already heard/watched so many interpretations of the story it’s very uninteresting to them at that point. I personally think it is in fact worth the read and praise it gets, and the book is by far the best telling of Shelley’s story and people would enjoy it if they sit down and actually get through the setting of the novel. It is is no way, form, shape, or by definition of the term underrated however lol
Can we just take a moment to recognize how ON POINT Jen’s makeup is today?
Can we take a moment to stop saying can we take a moment?
Hard no
A video idea: top 5 Stephen King books you like with tapping, page flipping and plot whispering:)
Yes yes yes yes
Why not the whole collection?
Me: *relaxed about to fall asleep*
Jen: "In the rural mountains of West Virginia"
Me: *wide awake* I LIVE THERE!
For Frankenstein I have to recommend the 1818 edition. It has some more interesting and revolutionary themes within it that Shelley has to tone down for the later release.
A good rule of thumb is that if a copy of Frankenstein doesn’t say 1818 on it, it’s the newer edition because the 1818 version wasn’t really being analysed until more recently.
Jen saying books is a muscle relaxant on its own
An acquaintance of mine who was a horror novelist told me many years ago that everyone in the genre respected Stephen King immensely, because even though he was the most successful horror writer of the century, he still sat down everyday and wrote like he was starting out and remained dedicated to the craft. He also told me King's editor would still sometimes send back his stuff, saying "Stephen, this just isn't good enough," and he'd rewrite it.
I just think you’re bloody great. You’re cheeriness and enthusiasm about such simple (but fab) things as books, in these crappy times, are so nice to see/hear. Thank you 😊😊
I used to watch you all the time and just rediscovered your channel, just as relaxing as ever !!:)
I couldn't help giggling at "It started with rumors from China about another pandemic". Love when authors unintentionally predict real events.
Love the way she pronounces 'books'. Also I think Jen has convinced me to add Jurrasic Park and I am Legend to my reading list. You also might enjoy The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.
My heart I can’t take it! the way she says books is honestly so cute. 🥺
What a genuine, down to earth, lovely and funny girl. I could watch her videos all day x
I love when she makes these types of videos! She's super interesting 😩! Jen, if you're reading this I absolutely love your whisper, when you go close to the mics. Could we get a full close up whisper video with those mics, pretty please!
I was nearly asleep but then I heard you reading the synopsis for the midnighters and I woke up immediately. The trilogy was my absolute favorite in middle school and over time I forgot about it and couldn’t remember what it was called. I just ordered all the books and now I’m off to sleep again!!
I love these boredom buster videos! I think that some fun ones could be: fave outfits, bands/albums, comics series, cartoons, characters, visual artists, podcasts if you like those! I just love listening to you ramble.
25:30 no. You are not alone. The smell of a worn in book is also delightful.
When Jen was discussing the Midnighters trilogy, was I the only one who picked up that it's eerily similar to the Plot of Persona 3?
Way late, but yeah, I caught that too. I wonder if the Persona team got inspiration from this series, since I believe The Midnighters came out first.
Tysm for this video Jen!! I’ve been looking for more books to read, and I do love any kind of reading/book asmr
Few book series I recommend:
Animorphs
The Saga of Darren Shan (Cirque du Freak) Fantastic vampire series that also has a fantastic manga adaptation (the novels are still superior though)
Deltora Quest
Fablehaven
Nightmare Academy
And an individual book: 172 Hours on the Moon, great horror novel.
From Stephen King, definitely the IT novel.
Stand by Me (The Body) is up there with Misery as far as Stephen King movie adaptions for keeping true to the book.
I really like the awesome way you pronounce "books."
Her Robin video was great, Nami will be amazing! I love the hair play/hairstyle videos there so tingly
Hurrah, I love book sounds!
For any Frankenstein fans/theatre fans- the National Theatre TH-cam channel will be uploading the stage performance of it on April 30/May 1, it features Jonny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch!

I am legend is an amazing book..Just brilliant
It was a book too?
Needful Things is another good Stephen King one

As for the themes for the next video - hairstyles are great, also - movies? TV series? cosplay creating?

If you like Horror 'different' kind of books. I definitely recommend 'Hex' bij Thomas Olde Heuvelt. It's SO good.
Spooky eyes for spooky book reviews. The light makes your eyes look like those of a cat from time to time ;)
I would love a manga version of boredom busters!

The braids are very cute! 😊
13:50 lol shame. I love blue moon. Get that orange slice out of my beer though,
20:07 i felt the same thing! kubrick's take was just so...different? really disappointing after the book
Grats on the French Braid!
I would love to see you do a video as the Wicked Witch from.Hansel and Gretal!!

I live in WV and the second book caught me off guard!
nice job on the braids
Two of my favorite things Jen’s ASMR and Stephen King books in one video. Am I dead is this what heaven is like because if it is sign me up
Yay, i can't wait!
Also, first
Hello! 1st of all, braiding your own hair is no small feat, lol so congrats on that lol (I've never successfully done this lol.)
2nd, I think Sophie (ASMRplanet) has that shirt too!! I feel like you 2 would have some amusing conversations together:).
3rd- random, but I thought of you- have you read the comics that the Netflix show "Locke and Key" are based on/have you seen the Netflix show? I am quite curious for your thoughts/opinions on it. 😁
Anywho, thank you for another wonderfully relaxing video! ❤
I love her accent. But when she says books it reminds me of Mel B from Bo’ Selecta! 😂😂
Lewk! It’s my new Bewk! You just have to Lewk for it! It even comes with a free Bewkmark! Ya Bastard! Awooh!
(Thumbs Up if you got the reference!)
hair looks lovely :-)
Am I the only 1 that’s happy about being like RLY early???
Wow, that Midnighters book is the exact same premise of the 2006 video game Persona 3.
I would absolutely love one of these for your favorite comics/graphic novels and I would definitely not be mad if you tapped on them as well.
You’ve done convinced me to by books and video games today.... Rip to my bank account lol
Ahhh Yes! Great time!
" I remember somebodies tongue falls off in this one. I dont know why that stuck with me". To be fair, i'd be much more worried if that didnt stick with you.
Jen excuse me but you.look.amazing. thank you for another video xx
Anything by Micheal Crichton is awesome ✊
Have you read any Joe Hill? He’s one of Stephen King’s sons and I’d put his writing on par with his dad’s, who also happens to be my favourite author ❤️
I’m 32 and decided at this point I will never be able to French braid my own hair.
Also, I can tell you from personal experience that if you've been saddled with a surname like, say, "Finkelstein," and you get tired of the kids in elementary school calling you "Frankenstein," that whipping out the fun fact about Frankenstein being the scientist NOT the monster doesn't help in the slightest.

So Midnighters and Persona 3 basically have the same plot?
Have you read the boy on the bridge? Sequel? Prequel? To the girl with all the gifts?
