A book that I think you’ll love and I definitely recommend is “The Cat Who Saved Books” by Sosuke Natsukawa. It’s about a boy called Rintaro who loses his Grandfatherand, his grief process, and how a talking Tabby Cat called Tiger suddenly appears in his bookstore to ask Rintaro to help him through different “labyrinths” to save books. (That description wasn’t great but it’s about books and loving books and the power/ impact a book has and has a talking cat- need I say more?😂😅) It’s short, sweet and filled with so many life lessons and advice that you can apply to your own life.

Quote of the Day: “Not that I need a guide to be a bibliophile.”

We need a pt 2 for fiction books that are about books! One of my favorites is The Shadow of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, it has a place in it called the cemetery of forgotten books

Morris: “Everyone’s story matters.” Studios dealing with the Writer’s Strike: (nervous laughter)

We Stan Show and Tell for book. We need more of it.

The book of books was a PBS special and you could go online and vote. That is how they came up with the top 100.

With the puzzle book you can always photocopy a page at your library so you can fill it out and not ruin the actual page😊

Loved this! Jen also is still on youtube I love her channel! She also has a book called the bookshop book where she goes over different bookshops, interviews authors and there are pictures inside as well!

The unpacking my library book is a must get for me, I just looked it up and apparently its a series with a lot of different professions and there book shelves. I have to get the artists and there bookshelves and the writer one for sure.

Many picture books are perfect for children and adults. So many have such a great message and lessons we all can learn from. Morris Lessmore is STUNNING in the illustrations and message! One of my favorites!❤

I have the Bibliophile and Book Love. Those are the kind of books that I like browsing through endless times ❤❤❤

My favorit book about the love for books is „The cat who saved books“ by Sōsuke Natsukawa. Still in love with this one.❤

There's a really cool bookstore in Fargo, ND that's really cool. Zandbroz is downtown and it's way more than a book shop. There's a great section for tea and mustard, and another section for skin care. And in the back there's a huge room full of vintage first editions and leather copies. You'd love that store!!

Whenever I'm feeling lazy or getting caught up with work or life and need motivation to get back into reading, I come back to your videos Jesse. I love your passion for books and I love to read, I just need a reminder and believe me I added these books to my wishlist. Thank you for the continued motivation.

The cat that saved books is really fun!

That first 20 seconds was a whole vibe and made me go hug my shelves.

Love the jacket

Cooking is usually fairly forgiving. Baking is the thing that needs more precision. (Though, generally, not quite as much as you'd think.) You might want to look into tips on batch cooking things that can be combined into a variety of dishes. Or do what I do and just eat the same thing for dinner four days in a row, because that's how many servings the recipe makes.

I also love to collect books about books, or books about reading, or books about authors, or books about libraries or... well, you get the idea. I have filled up about half the length of a shelf with them, but I was surprised at how many you mentioned I'd never heard of before. I also like to buy books on trips, they make much better memories than a touristy tchotchke, although my book buying on trips doesn't have a lovely theme or focus like yours does. I loved Bibliophile. I read my library's copy but I'm hoping to have my own copy some day.

I do not enjoy cooking at all and hate the process of cooking so I feel you on that - still cute books!

The absolute best (fiction) book about books I’ve read is The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. What a gorgeous ode to books, readers, and libraries.

My most important lessons on cooking have been: 1.From my former French roommate: A.) If you feel like something, just go for it. Worst case, you'll know what to do differently next time. Don't get intimidated by perfection. B.) Always keep the following at home: salt, pepper, thyme, cumin, garlic, onions. C.) Roasting veggies in the oven is always a good idea. 2. From my grandma: you can alway add salt, but you can never remove it. I hope this helps!

Oh boy. I really LOVE these kinds of books

I read "Weird Things Customers say at Bookstores" the other day and it was fun. I can find some of the things costumers say amusing, but when they were actually super rude to the booksellers? Not so much! That was nasty to read. It's incredible how booksellers are able to keep a straight face with everything that people say to them (especially the rude stuff, there's no excuse for that!). There's a volume 2 out, so I'll be reading that too. I've also read "The Bookshop" by Jen Campbell and also recommend it to anyone that loves books and bookstores, especially. It makes you want to have your own as you discover so many interesting bookstores!

Oh that i will judge you by your bookshelf i saw some of those pictures on a Facebook group about reading i didn't know it was a book i will have to check it out

such a cute and amazing books, i absilutely love them, i dont have any of them but already edded them to my wishlist

I liked the Intro séquence in this video. It was rather poetic.

Great video. From the title I was expecting to hear you talk about novels with authors or librarians (and their books) as main characters. That could be another interesting angle if you read enough of those 😉.

Bookstore Trip? That sounds like great fun!

Can we have more videos of Jesse singing? Like maybe bookish covers of songs? (Make sure to put them on YT bc not everyone has Bookstagram & BookTok!!)

Long time lurker, but I really enjoyed the vibes of this vid and I'm all for watching videos you've always wanted to make! Also, love the hair! Sending well wishes from Texas :)

The books of books sounds so interesting!

Book Love is one of my favorite books ever! ❤

I also have a habit of collecting & reading about books which are about books or book related. If it's a fiction & is about a book nerd, I'll be interested in it for sure. I like books about libraries, book collections, stories about people who reads a lot, & basically anything related to books. It makes me feel seen & I feel like there are people like me too.

literary starbucks was so cute. as an avid book and coffee lover, it combined my two favorite things

im in love with the lamp on your table must know where you got it.

I love the poetic intro! 🥰😍

Another book about books i would recommend is The invisible libary by Genevieve Cogman. It's about a spy irene and her dragon assistant kai who travel across alternate worlds and steals books for their employer a giant magical libary that connects different worlds.

I love word games. They’re such fun!

We need a book lover show and tell now!

Yessss a new Video🥰

ok but now I want all of these!

I haven’t read any of it yet, but I have a book on books called “How To Read a Book” 😂 it’s about critical reading and someone got it for me a long time ago as a “joke” but I think it’s great lol

I'm opening my own bookstore! Maybe soon I'll be inviting you and your family to come visit my bookstore! 🤞

Omg your voice is amazing Jesse. When is the album coming out?

Really good comic strips books about books: You're all just jealous of my jetpack, Baking with Kafka and Revenge of the librarians, by Tom Gauld. Those books are absolute treasures!!!

Looking at the literary book puzzle book makes me think of the caboodle hidden books game that comes about every December and it is great a bit tricky at times (dog and apple and lollipop man my beloathed these are three different books from the two caboodle challenges I’ve done) but rest assured twitter has your back for once

It is truly a struggle to try and look up 'book about a book that causes madness' ala Vasterien, and it's so had to find that specific niche!

That jacket is everything🤩🤩

As a children’s librarian and a picture book connoisseur, I must disagree with you that picture books only being for children. I think that any reader (no matter their age) can find joy, wonder, wisdom, laughter, and so much more between the pages of a picture book. Authors and illustrators are able to create magic with just 32 pages. Some create magic with no words at all. I have so many wonderful examples going through my brain, but I’ll go with just these. 1. What the Road Said by Cleo Wade 2. In Every Life by Marla Frazee 3. Field Trip to the Moon by J. L. Hare 4. The Book With No Pictures by B. J. Novak 5. Lunch Every Day by Kathryn Otoshi 6. Dear Librarian by Lydia M. Sigwarth 7. Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson 8. The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors by Drew Daywalt 9. Saturdays Are for Stella by Candy Wellins 10. Lost in the Library by Josh Funk

Love this video! But obsessed with your star table lamp in the background!! Where did you get it?

Fantastic video and books. May get the first one. God bless!😮👍

“What are you reading about?” “Books.” “You’re reading a book about reading books?” “You say that like it’s not normal.”

I love your lamp

loooooove this - i have only 1 - book love :)

*Adds all the books to wishlist*

Omg, i want that cookbook to add to my collection! & i bet you make a mean salad 😋

I love Bibliophile and I Will Judge You By Your Bookshelf, you should totally read I’d Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel 🍊

Bibliophile: Diverse Spines is an excellent companion to Bibliophile if it is not already on your wish list.

12:39 OMG I have this in my Wish List.

13:44 You’d really love Jack Edwards and how he decodes celebrities based on their book recommendations.

💕💕💕

I enjoyed this video

Funny how I'm also working on a book on books 😃

11:11 You should have a Google Form for recommendations.

Do you have a book journal or a way to keep information about the books you read?

If you enjoyed Bibliophile, there is Bibliophile: Diverse Spines which celebrates books by BIPOC authors.

Is that Ex Libris by Michio Kakutani, the physicist?

I love the atmosphere of this video! I feel like I'm in a cozy book cafe!✨ "The Mystery Writers of America Cookbook" has been on my list ever since I watched one of your past videos! I wanna get it, and wanna read, cook, and eat! (≧▽≦)b💚

I have a book about bookstores around the country

Now do fantasy books about books! Pppplease!😬😅

13:09 Nosy Parkers Unite. Please tell me you were a Nancy Drew fan.

I hate cooking. I just don't like to do it. :)

Jesse: You mean to say authors aren't epic superhero beings? Also Jesse: No, they're not. Me: No kidding we're not XD

7:18 Anyone who says they’re quirky and weird because they don’t cook unironically like plz stop it’s only embarrassing for you.

now just wait until you start liking books about the dictionary :D

A true reader accepts people who consume a variety of media.

5:08 It couldn't have been nearer to reality! I once spent 90 minutes researching for the first, middle and last names of just 5 characters! 😂 And now I'm thinking of changing the names of two of them🥲. So yes, the struggle IS REAL!
