I always prefer balanced out reviews & I always try to bring well rounded thoughts to the table. (even if i'm not good at describing the good & the bad XD)
*Spoilers!!* FIrst, I personally thought the book was so slow and repetitive. Yeah I get why it technically was but it seems inbetween the days the main character went there and the days repeat it felt like it was a filler to an anime. Which I HATE. Like move on to the plot please. Second, the pacing didn't do it for me. First, it was interesting then once he went to the island it got boring and fell flat. (As stated from above.) Then the ending was just meh. It wasn't memorable or anything to All I remember was he went on a ship or a boat and sailed off and that's it. Third, I still think it is weird he is in love with his grandpa's EX. Like What? The book had an interesting plot but I expected something more from the book and something different. Wasn't what I thought it would be. I wouldn't say I hate it but I don't believe the hype of it. I gave it 2 stars. 💁
Reasons I'm here watching this video: 10% curiosity about books I've actually read/have interest in 90% admiring Jesse being the king of sass as usual...
I haven't watched your videos in years because I kind of stopped participating in the book community because of school and seeing this pop up in my feed is refreshing, it makes me consider being active in the booktube/bookstagram again.
I read the whole thing cover to cover, and I didn’t totally enjoy it. It was sudden and dark as well as had some moments where you were strangely confused. However, it did introduce some fascinating charecters and concepts, so it is worth reading :)
I was anticipating this video! It wasn't that long ago that Jesse did the worst books of 2018. This year really flew by. I'm really happy with how his videos have evolved over 2019- the editing is amazing and the content is so perfect!! I'm looking forward to the new year. I pray that God may bless Jesse and everyone in 2020 and that you all may read to your heart's desire!
Thanks for the library shoutout Jesse. Really love it when youtubers encourage this :) I've only read the last one you mentioned. I can see your points and only slightly agree with them. Also, fun fact. That story was going to be a trilogy but ended up being cut down to a duology since plot things got pretty much resolved by then. The third book would have been unnecessary.
Mystery Thriller recommendation? I got you Jesse. Here Lies Daniel Tate by Christin Terrill is about a boy posing a another families missing child. It has everything. Family values, murder, violence, romantic elements and more. A great intro to the teen thriller genre. I also recommend The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Conney. In this book a teenage girl discovers that she is the missing child on a milk carton. This book is older but it has aged well. 10/10 recommend.
I completely agree with the thought that I have to "enter" the world I'm reading about. I wasn't too feel like I'm there, but just add a silent observer. :) Oh, and just found your channel. Love it. Great job.
Read "Good Girl's Guide to Murder". It's a mystery novel, and though it sounds really bad from the title, it was so hard to put it down. Loved it so much. The sequel comes out this spring too.
I'm so sad that I didn't like Ari & Dante as it was a book that had been on my tbr the longest and everyone seems to love it, I also didn't like the witch doesn't burn in this one by Amanda Lovelace even though I loved the first and third one in that series. I love your videos Jesse and Happy New Year!
Mystery thriller that I really loved were from Paula Hawkins, Harlan Coben ( I loved his newer ones a bit more), B A Paris, Agatha Christie, and Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough ( Author of Cross her Heart. This one was better than ChH for me). Hope this helps 😊❤️
I might check them out at some point but I realized yesterday I needed 2 more books to reach 50 this year so I was looking for something I wouldn't be able to put down. One down now and one more to go though!
Some mystery/thrillers you can check out: I Know Who You Are by Alice Feeney The Woman in the Window by A.J.Finn The Taking of Annie Thorne by C.J.Tudor The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides And of course, any Agatha Christie book if you're into murder mystery.
Gilliam Flynn and Ruth Ware are where it’s at for thriller. Also Verity by Colleen Hoover and Mud Vein by Tarryn Fisher. Thriller doesn’t always pay off.. so that’s something to note about the genre. It will often leave you wondering.
I didn't read anything this year except for two books from scythe trilogy and skyward, so I don't know what to comment here,, but I'm watching this because your editing style is so great 👍🏻
I love how even though you aren’t a huge fan of these books, you don’t tear them apart. You’re amazing at critiquing in a healthy way and I Stan that 💙
First! Also hey Jesse!! I sent you a DM of my miss perigrines fan art I hope you like it:) I’m a huge fan of your videos and because of you I now know about one of my fav book series ever! Miss perigrines I’m also looking for the book Geekarella. So I’m into kinda romantic cute books especially rainbow Rowell so which rainbow Rowell book do you suggest I read???❤️
A very captivating series of mystery thriller books are the works of Stieg Larsson, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There's quite a bit of exposition until halfway through the first book, so you just have to battle through it, but the latter part is chockful of mystery and action, way better. I'm also new to the genre, but that series hooked me. Talking about hooked, yesterday I finished Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor in a day, it was literally glued to my hands!😍 It's so good!
I didn't read any bad books in 2019 BUT that's because I pretty much only read the Mistborn Series and an Unkindness of Magicians. It was a slow reading year but at least I liked them all... This year I plan on reading much more though.
Maybe it’s weird, but I don’t have books that I hate or unlike, because if I don’t love it I will just feel neutral about it or it’s just a good book and not something I adore...
Best Mystery Thrillers: .Turn of the Key - Ruth ware .The Honeymoon - Tina Seskis .The Trap - Melanie Raabe .Now you see her - Heidi Perks (also known as ‘Her one mistake’. .Sleep - C L Taylor
I read all rights reserved too but I put it away 50 pages before the end (and finished it half a year later) because they just kept adding problems and it never seemed to get any better or at least any way out. I thought it had too many problems that I could deal with my just not reading that book so I didn’t. It just wasn’t it for me.
A thriller I really liked is The Broken Girls by Simone St. James. It takes place across two timelines. The first is in the 1950s at a girls boarding school where four room mates get to know each other, become friends, and then one goes missing. The second takes place in 2014 where someone wants to buy the boarding school and a reporter is doing a piece about it. The only reason she's doing this piece, however, is because 20 years earlier her sister's body was found on the school lot and she wants answers. I though this book was really fascinating and I couldn't put it down. On the other hand, it's the only thriller I've ever read so it might be filled with clichés and I just didn't know any better. But I thought it was really good. :)
I agree with you about The Price Guide to the Occult. I was SO disappointed by it. It was one of my most anticipated books when it first came out, but once I read it I was very let down. I love witch books and the missed potential was heartbreaking. Haven't read the other books in your video but all of them seem to have mixed reviews on Goodreads so they aren't high on my TBR haha.
I suggest a mystery thriller manga to read known as Uriah. It’s on WEBTOON . However, it’s quite gorey. Currently, it has 32 issues, and it’s on hiatus, so it’s the perfect time for you to join the hype train.
I LOVED "BEHIND HER EYES" BY SARAH PINBOROUGH. I've read it a couple of months ago and I still think about its ending to this day, but I know it is not for everybody. I would recommend you "Turn of the key" and "The death of Mrs. Westway" by Ruth Ware, "And then they were none", "The Silent Pacient" "Wayward Pines" series
Mystery book set in Victorian times "Fingermith". It's incredible, a masterclass in plot twists and in incredible characters. This is one of the best books I've read this year!
I don't mind much if covers don't match with the story (cause there are times that they happen), but a lot of underwhelmed opinions are seen in BookTube about the Price Guide To the Occult. Plus I supah love Jesse's hair here. Hurrah!!! 👦🧑💖
Total get what you mean about the prologue being better then the book. There's a series called Beyonders (by Brandon Mull) and the prologue of the first book is a m a z i n g. Like the writing style is just brilliant and I was real enjoying the pov of the character. However the rest of the book and the main character just wasn't as amazing (though I did enjoy it)
I highly recommend any book that Emma recommends as far as mystery thrillers go, she’s my go to when it comes to those recommendations, because I don’t know much about them.
Also, I can see someone not liking ARR because there isnt a lot of external dialogue. I'll readily admit that that factor made it a little tough for me to get through, even though I loved the book.
"Turn of the Key" by Ruth Ware is an amazing mystery/thriller book. After I finished reading it, I went back and started the reread right away to catch all the clues I missed the first time around!
So you wanted ideas for mystery thrillers? Well the most recent I've read and loved was Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte, so different and brilliant in the end in my opinion ;) Also The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton was pretty good and surprising. I grew up on Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes so these ones have hints of that but are amazingly different. P.S. I recently started watching your channel and love it
For mysteries I recommend the Lord Peter Whimsy books, both novels and short stories, by Dorothy Sayers and The Farher Brown stories by G.K. Chesterton.
I'm sorry but your Shatter Me books are out of order it's supposed to be as follows -shatter me -unravel me -ignite me -restore me -defy me ( unite me and find are places as gap fillers where see fit according to book) - imagine me comes out in March and is available for pre order. ( which I did back in August)
One of my favourite thrillers is the Unknown Assassin trilogy by Allen Zadoff. It's about a 16 year old boy who works for the so called Program to murder people. It all goes well and he's kind of emotionless until he's told to eliminate the mayor of New York and falls in love with his daughter... I love this trilogy so much and definitely recommend it!!
Sadie if you havent already. It has portions that are from a podcast and others that are from the main heroine. Although there are a lot of disturbing things it goes over, its really like watching dateline and very enjoyable.
Jesse is literally like a hyped up puppy even when discussing things he didn't enjoy 😂 but we all need his passive aggressive positivity
Jesse is the real life Dorian Havillard lol
I’m l the only one who think that every year he look younger??
😂😂 Yes you are right!!! I think that the only thing that changes every year is his hair style 😂😂😂😂
Misaki Ackerman yesss he literally turned from 24 to 19 because of that 😂😂
zeinab walied
Totally agree with you 😂
Misaki Ackerman 😂😂🤍
By the time we get a sequel to that one book that ended on a cliff-hanger he's gonna be a toddler like "wats gud weeder fwamm"
But seriously, I love how Jesse can sometimes TALK LIKE THIS, and then he can also ᵗᵃˡᵏ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᵗʰᶦˢ lmao what a mood
exactly. but im more proud of the fact that you put it in words. that's wayyyyy too great.
Jesse : *makes video about books*
Also Jesse: *talks about eggs for a minute straight*
😂😂😂
I love how happy he is when he says it’s the worst books that he has read😂🤣
me: not shocked by jesse’s worst books list
also me: shocked that jesse hates eggs
Me: :(
Jesse: *_uploads video_*
Me: :)
The mood is so fun, I wouldn't know you were talking about books you don't like
Interesting list! I like that you shared positive aspects of the books as well. I haven’t heard of these ones yet.
I always prefer balanced out reviews & I always try to bring well rounded thoughts to the table. (even if i'm not good at describing the good & the bad XD)
That’s awesome, I really like balanced reviews! Thanks for sharing - you did a great job!
I just love how positive he is even about the books he didn't like. I mean, he knows how valuable books are no matter what😍
Jesse: “Yes, that means you can hate Miss Peregrine’s”
Me: How???!!!
Maria Haro that book got me back into reading along with HP lol
Maria Haro opinions??
*Spoilers!!*
FIrst, I personally thought the book was so slow and repetitive. Yeah I get why it technically was but it seems inbetween the days the main character went there and the days repeat it felt like it was a filler to an anime. Which I HATE. Like move on to the plot please.
Second, the pacing didn't do it for me. First, it was interesting then once he went to the island it got boring and fell flat. (As stated from above.) Then the ending was just meh. It wasn't memorable or anything to All I remember was he went on a ship or a boat and sailed off and that's it.
Third, I still think it is weird he is in love with his grandpa's EX. Like What?
The book had an interesting plot but I expected something more from the book and something different. Wasn't what I thought it would be. I wouldn't say I hate it but I don't believe the hype of it. I gave it 2 stars. 💁
@@tigerxgirl6784 I'm so sorry you didn't like them, because I think they're worth it. But I understand everyone has their own tastes.
Exactly
I love how you review books. It takes me right out of my reading slumps

*Its MY OPINION* Vine flashback
Heck yeah
Reasons I'm here watching this video:
10% curiosity about books I've actually read/have interest in
90% admiring Jesse being the king of sass as usual...
The positivity in this video is surprisingly contagious even though he's talking about the worst books he has read this year. Loved it!
I’ve got the flu but on the bright side, I’ve been able to binge watch your videos that I got behind on over the holidays. Yaaaay! 🎉🤧
" and I oop".
It's confirmed guys. Jesse is officially a VSCO.
I haven't watched your videos in years because I kind of stopped participating in the book community because of school and seeing this pop up in my feed is refreshing, it makes me consider being active in the booktube/bookstagram again.
Ohhh I’m so excited for 2020 reading
ME TOO. I'M READY FOR A FRESH START.
If you want a mystery thriller, I read “One Of Us Is Lying” it was a pretty good book
I keep seeing this book and wanna read it ,, but don’t know if it’s worth it !
I read the whole thing cover to cover, and I didn’t totally enjoy it. It was sudden and dark as well as had some moments where you were strangely confused. However, it did introduce some fascinating charecters and concepts, so it is worth reading :)
hannah bentley it’s a good read, but definitely not my favorite
THIS BOOK AND ITS SEQUEL ARE SO GOOD I WANT TO CRY

I always recommend anything by Agatha Christie for mystery, especially Murder on the Orient Express!
Yes! She really is the queen of mysteries. My favourite is And then there were none.
@@jessicaposada6521 I loved that one too!
Well I'm glad none of my favourites were on this list 😅😂
Hey Jesse, it would be great if you make a video talking bout your favorite kpop comebacks this year. I really love when you talk bout kpop. Love u 😘
Thanks for the library shoutout Jesse. Really love it when youtubers encourage this :)

A good book is The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. It is a really good murder mystery
“Is that too much to ask for or should I call an Uber” 😭😭

This popped up as I was searching for a book to read . . . I guess I know what not to read today. XD

Hey Jesse, would you do more reading vlogs in 2020, i loved the ones we got this year and I really want more of them
i'm hoping to do a few sprinkled about with other content next year! are there any specific ones that you liked the most?
@@jessethereader i liked all of them, it just was nice to see a week in your reading life, but i really liked the ones where you did unboxings
Miss Peregrine is also my favorite of all time and so I love you.

I love how relatable of a reader you are💚
JESSE!! You need to read Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris! It’s a really great domestic thriller
jesse is probably the best booktuber i've ever watched because he's actually making book videos, and not blogging about their life😊😅😁😀
I read all rights reserved too but I put it away 50 pages before the end (and finished it half a year later) because they just kept adding problems and it never seemed to get any better or at least any way out. I thought it had too many problems that I could deal with my just not reading that book so I didn’t. It just wasn’t it for me.
These videos are so great and make me so happy! Thank you Jesse!

You’ve got creepy kids and plot-twists but, it looks into why. It’s hard to talk about without spoilers.
Jesse: THE WORST BOOKS I READ IN 2019
Also Jesse: ᵗʰᵉ ʷᵒʳˢᵗ ᵇᵒᵒᵏˢ ᶦ ʳᵉᵃᵈ ᶦⁿ ²⁰¹⁹
I agree with you about The Price Guide to the Occult. I was SO disappointed by it. It was one of my most anticipated books when it first came out, but once I read it I was very let down. I love witch books and the missed potential was heartbreaking. Haven't read the other books in your video but all of them seem to have mixed reviews on Goodreads so they aren't high on my TBR haha.
I suggest a mystery thriller manga to read known as Uriah. It’s on WEBTOON . However, it’s quite gorey. Currently, it has 32 issues, and it’s on hiatus, so it’s the perfect time for you to join the hype train.
Have you ever read the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld?? I'm on the second book, and I'm loving it so far. If you have, what are your thoughts?
I’ve read the series it’s really good
@@shiningstar6649 that's great! I havent gotten to reading the second book, cus I've got to finish other books first, but I cant wait to read it.
Am I early? Is this a miracle?
Also, I love your videos!! 💓💓
And I am reading Six of Crows just because you recommended it and I love it so thank you!
I LOVED "BEHIND HER EYES" BY SARAH PINBOROUGH. I've read it a couple of months ago and I still think about its ending to this day, but I know it is not for everybody. I would recommend you "Turn of the key" and "The death of Mrs. Westway" by Ruth Ware, "And then they were none", "The Silent Pacient" "Wayward Pines" series
It's funny because All Rights Reserved was one of my favourite books of this year 😅
That’s the great thing about reading we all have different opinions some people don’t like one book others enjoy
Same I really enjoyed it!
The Grownup by Gillian Flynn it was perfect for me to see if i would like her writing style! Its like 90 pages! I highly recommend it was very good!
Recs for Jessethereader:
The Forsaken, Lisa M Stasse
The Forest of Hands and Teeth, Carrie Ryan
Mystery book set in Victorian times "Fingermith". It's incredible, a masterclass in plot twists and in incredible characters. This is one of the best books I've read this year!
the one thing I keep thinking how do i make book goals for next year that I will actually follow...
Love your energy for these “negative” videos, it really makes me comfortable with disliking some books that my friends love ☺️
Love your channel sooooo much ❤️❤️💕
I would recommend Here Lies Daniel Tate, its great and has a really good twist at the end, and lots of surprise reveals as well.
I don't mind much if covers don't match with the story (cause there are times that they happen), but a lot of underwhelmed opinions are seen in BookTube about the Price Guide To the Occult.
Plus I supah love Jesse's hair here. Hurrah!!! 👦🧑💖
I recommend booksandlala (Kayla) for thriller/mystery recs!
"is that too much to ask for or should I call an uber?" AASFDHADFK

"Turn of the Key" by Ruth Ware is an amazing mystery/thriller book. After I finished reading it, I went back and started the reread right away to catch all the clues I missed the first time around!
Mystery/thriller recs - This lie will kill you by Chelsea Pitcher
- Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
I just got so distracted because the Leigh Bardugo books moved and were replaced by the Raven Cycle
So you wanted ideas for mystery thrillers? Well the most recent I've read and loved was Four Dead Queens by Astrid Scholte, so different and brilliant in the end in my opinion ;) Also The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton was pretty good and surprising. I grew up on Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes so these ones have hints of that but are amazingly different.
P.S. I recently started watching your channel and love it
For mysteries I recommend the Lord Peter Whimsy books, both novels and short stories, by Dorothy Sayers and The Farher Brown stories by G.K. Chesterton.
I'm sorry but your Shatter Me books are out of order it's supposed to be as follows
-shatter me

- imagine me comes out in March and is available for pre order. ( which I did back in August)
Thank you very much for your very well thought out and respectful opinions.
