I can't stand when my mom says: "yeah, Liana is a big reader", person: "why don't you buy her an Ebook? It would be less expensive than buying all those books!" Me: *death stare* I want to feel the pages and smell it's fragance, okay?! Technology is taking over the world!".

Am I the only one who imagines basically every female character as... well... me?

I really like book unhauls and negative reviews. That's when I know I can trust a booktuber.

I'm really bad at visualizing characters like when a character is described having a long blonde hair, in my head they would have black hair (for some reason). And when the character decided cut their hair in the middle of the book, "he/she took an axe and chopped off their long blonde hair" I'm like the heck since when do they have blonde hair?

I've only listened to audio books when I'm driving because I didn't know what people did with themselves when they weren't driving. Like stare at the wall or finger paint or something? Next time I'll try out your Candy Crush method! Thanks Jesse and great video :D

We all secretly read children's picture books...don't lie.

One bookish fact about me is I will walk and read. If you don't move I will run into you because I can't just stop reading at any random spot. :-)

when I'm reading if a sentence goes to the next page I will keep reading the book until a page ends with the full sentence on one page at the end of said page

That John green convo...the awkwardness THE REGRET lolol

1. I hate eBooks, i will never ever read a book on a device unless its like, wattpad 2. I get forehead deep in the fandoms, so much that it might me bad for my mental state 3. I've only just started collecting my books AND I HAVE NO WHERE TO PUT THEM

1. If I know there's gonna be a movie adaptation of a book, I watch the trailer first to see if I'm interested and then I will read the book before seeing the movie. 2. If I physically fit the description of a book character, I imagine myself as that character. 3. I love alphabetizing my books on my shelves. It's kinda therapeutic :)

i visit goodreads literally every hour just to scroll through my to-read list thinking "I'll read you someday... just you wait"

1. I've read The Hobbit 6 times 2. The Kane Chronicles are my favorite Rick Riordan books 3. Fanfiction is my lifeeee

I love that you had a Lemony Snicket picture book!!!!!

i never do fancasting - it really doesn't even come close to my mind

I read the acknowledgments in every book because I don't want it to end 😭😭I love when books have maps too because books rarely keep the reader updated with the concept of time and how long it takes them to get places and how many days are passing.. Etc etcAnd I can just stop reading in the middle of a sentence sometimes and not even care because I am hungry or something I need to do is weighing on my mind so I stop reading go and do it and then when I open then book my eyes usually go right to the sentence I left off on ! 😱😂😂 Those are my 3 bookish facts about me ☺️☺️

Don't let other people stop you from posting unhauling book video! I seriously enjoy unhauling videos. as for 3 bookish facts about me: I love night reading, I'm a book blogger who enjoys both reading blog posts and watching booktube videos, and I read everything (even the ones that aren't in my comfort zone) :)

"uSE YOUR IMAGINATION, KIDS!" senior quote

I'll start watching your review videos! I got spoiled once by someone else's "non-spoiler review" so I tend to stay away. I'll trust you.

The Chaos walking series could possibly be my favorite series ever

I love your videos! Please do more unboxings. Don't listen to the haters! Also I think your reviews are the best. Honestly you're just really cool and I wish I could met you.

Jesse: people r so mean True fans: *get the guns!* who is so dumb to hate on him?!

Yayyy, you did it! This was really interesting! Also, picture books are weirdly soothing. Like they're just such lovely simple stories and they often are so stunningly designed and illustrated, so no judgement here!

I've just recently found your channel and have watched like all your videos these past couple of days and I just have to say - you're like one of the most likeable people on youtube! I just get so happy listening to you and your silly personality just brightens my day! Stay awesome

Always look forward to the book reviews!! Especially loved the Cassie Clare ones!

I can relate to so many of these bookish facts about you. Also usually fan art helps me to build the characters in my head if the fan art looks similar to how I would’ve pictured a character. Love this video 💕

you wanna talk about John Green selfie regrets.... I actually DID take a selfie with him..... then I accidentally deleted it from my computer. #rip also your candy crush/audiobook fact is too real.... I am constantly lying in bed listening to a book and playing 2048+ on my phone

First bookish fact: i got a book signed by its author but it is towards a friend of her who is a philologist (professor) and then her frien signed it too saying it is now her turn to give it away to somebody so she gave it to me as a birthday present back to when I was nine years old. Secondly, all of the bookmarks I use are handmade. I actually have bookmarks that basically advertise other books cause they are from bookstores (I mean duhh) but I never ever use them. Only the ones I make. And the third bookish fact about me is that I can finish a book in a really short period of time but it takes me freakin ages to find the courage and start reading another book once I finish the last one.

OMG the rate at which you're uploaded videos is amazing!!! You're my favorite KZfaqr and I love you so much!!!

I love children's picture books too! They have some of the most beautiful illustrations/artwork. I have to opposite problem when it comes to predicting books, TV shows, movies - I almost ALWAYS know what's coming.

Your reviews are the best!!! They're not too long, but they're still so informative!

1) if there are two pages left in a chapter, (side by side), I would quickly glance at the end of the sentence of the second page to see what happens (just a glimpse!!) 2) I don't usually fancast the book characters either but for some reason i have a set of characters in my head that are already 'casted' for the main characters. 3) i like to read the book nude and without the cover. ;)

DUDE. Same with the fan casting. I rarely picture actors (unless they are explicitly mentioned in the book, which actually happened to me once recently) when I'm reading. Even writing. And it's not that I don't know any actors, because one of my weird talents is remembering actors' names and what movies they're in. Imagination for the win!

I love book review videos! I'm also obsessed with bookstagram and recently have starting bookstagramming. You were one of the first people I followed. I love your channel!

When I'm reading I tend to count how many pages each chapter is so I can mentally prepare myself for long chapters. I sometimes skip around in intense scenes on accident and then self- spoil plot twists. When reading, I pretend the book is a movie I'm watching so I can imagine how things are happening in my head and will sometimes cast myself as a character.

The Harry Potter and the last one are soooo me! The books did not get ruined whatsoever! And whenever people post things like "I wish he/she played this character not the actor/actress that got the part" I'm just sitting here like "well, I don't even imagine real people as the characters sooo"

I don't finish series fast. People are always mad and think that I'm somehow letting the whole fandom down but actually I just want to be in the story's world longer and enjoy the possibilities before the end. Also the organization of a series on a bookcase can be the death nell and heaven of book display. The extras that publishers add to books, like little flourishes around the edges, and small pictures, textured covers are amazing and make the story that more real and tangible. Love the reviews - honest and true to reading and readers everywhere - keep it up!

I loved this video! A bookish fact about me is when I was younger I read all the time at school but was bullied for it. This put me off from reading in front of people for years but now I carry a book with me wherever I go and don't care what people think!

You are one of my favorite booktubers/youtubers I really love you as a person and your videos! 😊

I also read before bed! I like listening to music while I read. And I really like when the song fits the scene in the book I'm reading (:

You are literally becoming my favorite youtuber , not just booktuber but in general 😻😻😻😻😻

Omg loved how you did the blooper thing

The Candy crush-thing is so true, sometimes when I'm playing the game I can hear the audiobook I was listening to while playing that particular level, even though I'm not listening!

never clicked a notification so fast. I LOVE CANDY CRUSH!!! PICTURE books are da best jesseeeee mortal instruments!!! airport bookstores are so overpriceddddd soooo bookshelf problems 😂😂 no such thing as too many books my favorite videos of yours are the tags. they are hilarious!!!

So many of these are me as well! Brilliant video Jesse, super fun as always! :)

I can not believe I found only now! I mean your videos are awesome, even for me, who is trying to write stories. Love your energy. Thanks for being there. :)

I'm horrible at imagining how a character might look so I always fancast them. When I try to imagine them they change so much in my mind that I get stressed.

I hardcore relate to so many of these. Book maps =

One of my favorite videos by you, Jesse! ☺️

The book I've read the most The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. (I have read it like 14 times+)

Just wanted to let you know that I really love the way you do book reviews with the non-spoiler part first and then you tell us to leave when you get to the spoiler part. In addition to that though, if I see that it's a book I haven't read or have no interest in, I'll probably scroll past the video (not just you, I'd do it to anyone.)

Reviews are some of my favorite videos to do, too and I love that you do so many on your channel. :) I totally get you on the stress about adding new books to your shelves and constantly having to shift. I had to do this yesterday and yea...never satisfied. Never satisfied. Haha.

The intro literally scared me as I was staring off to space!

The only that I won't regret this year is subscribing to your channel, u are just awesome 😻

First off, I loved this tag! it looks like so much fun, and I guess one bookish fact about me was that I used to hate reading because when I was younger I had dyslexia pretty bad, but over the years, and with a ton of practice I hardly ever struggle reading (unless its like 3 in the morning and then I start reading up the page not down)!

Love your videos Jesse!! You are amazing!!😍😍😍😍

Hi I just wanted you to know that I'm going to play this in a Reading class I'm teaching as an example of how to talk about yourself as a reader. Keep up the good work!

Loved this video! You're such a fun guy it makes me so happy

bookish facts about me: 1) I love to listen to the rain when i read! if it isn’t raining, then i put on a soundtrack of rain in the background 2) My favourite book is “The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein and I’ve read it 9 times 3) My favourite harry potter movie is the chamber of secrets but my favourite book is the prisoner of azkaban

I understand how you feel about series! I hate starting them because it's almost like you have to commit to reading the next five in the series

I'm good at starting a series, good at finishing a series but HORRIBLE at reading the second book in a series. The amount of series that are just sitting on the 2nd book and growing old (to the point where I feel like I need to reread the first because I remember nothing) is ridiculous! Frustrates me so much because I know I'll love them.

I don't intentionally fan cast books-however if I'm reading and there happens to be a certain tv show I'm obsessed with at the time, characters from the show will be the characters in the book. I was obsessed with Teen Wolf while I read Red Queen and now half the characters in the book appear to me as characters from Teen Wolf

I did the same thing with Harry! I started reading the books like 3 months before The Order of the Phoenix was out and I STILL LOVED THEM

I play either Candy Crush, Spider Solitaire, or computer pinball while I listen to audio-books... obsessively And I love to read children's books out loud. The best ones always have such a great rhythm.

This was great! I am so glad that I am not the only one who loves airport librarys and doesnt fan cast!

YOU ARE REALLY AMAZING JESSE

Haha, I always have Goodreads open. Always! As for children's picture books, I have kids, so I get to read them all the time. They are usually not even there and I'll still be sitting there reading them out loud.

Awesome video Jesse! Recently I bought a bookshelf from Walmart and failed at building it.... :( I don't know how you and Kat do it! Anyway my bookish facts are: 1. I have a hard time writing negative reviews on books. 2. Once I am in a reading slump, I am depressed! 3. I have a habit of watching booktubers like you, right after I read a book so that I can hear everyone's thoughts!

I love this so much! I find myself having some of these facts in common with you!! :)

I am sooo happy that you are a huge fan of the Ms. Peregrine's series as well! I always feel I'm the only one who loves that series to death ^^,

watching in 2019 for some reason :""D

Can relate to most of these. Especially with the start and finishing series.

I love spoilers. Seriously, I will hunt them out. I like when covers don't match because I think it makes a more interesting shelf. And I always read the last page before I read the first.

I love children's picture books too! And yes I add them to my yearly reading goal on GR

I just found your channel and I love it! Like seriosuly where have I been my whole life

1. I’m good at predicting how books are going to go (and people’s lives) 2. Recently just got a bookshelf for all my books after 10 years because I didn’t have enough space in my tiny room (got rid of a lot of my things recently) 3. I’ve been in a reading slump for the last year or so and barely read as many books as I’ve wanted off my shelf. Hoping quarantine will help with that.

Oh my god ! I just discovered your channel and I just love it so much ❤

love your videos watching them always put a smile on my face lol you mentioned that not a lot of watch your book review videos. unfortunately I am one of those people who haven't watched a lot of them either however the only reason I don't watch them is because more than likely haven't read the book that you are discussing yet. having said that I do watch your book review videos on giving on given books once I have read them

You Are such an amazing Person , who Makes me laugh every time . I Love your monthly wrapups and reviews 💕💐Haters gonna hate

Omg I cried at the end because Jesse was always complaining to me back in the day (lmao three months ago) how he didn’t have a set schedule and now my baby Jesse has grown and and I’m crying

The reason I don't always watch your book reviews is because sometimes it's a book I plan to read soon and I don't like knowing anything about it! Keep making them though!!

SPECIAL DETAILS ON BOOKS AND MAPS ARE GREAT

1) I've got 4 1st Editions of Harry Potter, from my late grandmother, and I got really excited thinking that they would be worth loads of money, I would never sell them but you get my drift, but then found out that its quite common in the later books to have 1st editions. 2) Katytastic was the first booktuber that I watched, but I must say now that Jessethereader is my favourite. I do love all book tubers though! 3) My favourite book of all time is I am the messenger by Marcus Zusak. Thanks for the video Jesse! I re-watch them when I feel sad and you make me smile! Keep up the good work!

models usually work with fancasts more than actors, mostly because models usually have a different, unusual beauty which is how most book characters are. i've seen loads of models that look like book characters.

How have I never heard of this tag?! OMG the bookshelf reorganization thing is so me

Your John Green story is really funny. I'd probably be the exact same way, I'd probably be excessively crying too. He's just so awesome.

Such a fun Channel love the energy

Ahhh I love the bookstagram community as well! :)

Wow so I don't know if I've just been really behind on video watching and haven't watched a video of yours in a while (IM THE WORST IM SORRY) or if it's new but I LOVE YOUR END SCREEN IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL

I love your endtag thing!

I love your bookshelf! I wish i had the same collection.

You are quite entertaining! This is the first video I've watched by you... But now I'm off the binge watch your channel.👍😂

I love your channel Jesse! Ignore those haters, unhaul whatever books you want!!

I liked this video, Jesse. I recently started following your channel, and it's great to learn more about you.

1. Bookstores and libraries are safe places to me. I literary calm down even when I'm very stressed after I walk into one. It's like entering a fairy land. 2. I realized that I prefer middle-grade books to YA because they are often less childish (paradoxical as it may sound), they are not afraid to deal with big themes and they are often better crafted, more challenging and more entertaining than much YA and adult literature. Often the best books are labeled "for young and old readers alike". 3. I also love children picture books (or when there are pictures in books in general). When I manage to find a perfect blend of fine art and a text - it's like music to my eyes and soul. Wonderful video, Jesse, thank you for making my day better

I love your reviews!

The book I've read the most is probably The Fellowship of the Ring (20+ times) for some reason.I just love it so much

Maps make my heart happy too. I love that

One bookish fact about me is that whenever I read I manage to completely block out the outside world. I won't hear anything, I won't see anything and I won't react to anything. It's really creepy sometimes!

I think these facts are very interesting. I also don't fan cast my characters either. And if you ever do an unhaul, I would personally love to see it because I like to know everyone's opinions on books before I read them
