oh my god??!? 😭😭 I’m seriously soo honored to be included in this video AHHH ♥️🥹 I also wish you could read a 2023 fav so we could geek out together instead of being equally frustrated w Kathleen as a character HAHAH. what a fun video, looking forward to the favorites one!!!

0:36 Jesse collects Booktubers like Infinity Stones.

I'm so sad Night House was bad! The description gave me "Goosebumps, but for Adults" and I was excited for it. Oh well, one less book on the TBR! ALSO, your library has a DRIVE-THRU?! 👀

Oh my gosh whaaaat!!! 🤯😍 I’m so honored to be included in this video, I’ve been watching your channel for so long, this is so exciting!!! 🥹😍 also hahaha I’m so sorry you had to read The Night House because of my video hahaha 😂 but I’m also glad you felt very similar to how I felt, that book is such a hot mess 😂

Jo Nesbø is one of Norways biggest authors, and he’s mainly a thriller/crime guy, most known for a long-ass series about a cop solving shit😅 Haven’t heard about this book though, so I did a quick search. Night house got five stars from a lot of norwegian papers. Our country is so small, I think the reviewers are scared they have to face the authors at a release party😂 Oh, and I found out the book IS supposed to be set in the 70’s. I hate settings from the 70’s. It’s too….brown🤪

i loveeee seeing some good library appreciation

I have never seen a mini dishwasher like that. Very interesting

Nice to see Gavin featured here! He did a video on your first video.

Did I just see a drive thru at the library?!

Looovveeee seeing some of my faves on one of my fave’s channel!😍

Libby is one of the absolute top tier apps to exist. Library in my pocket, yes please.

So exciting to see you are familiar with Gabbyreads! You and her are my favorite booktubers! 😊

These reading vlogs are always so fun! Also those shots you took of the snow falling were absolutely beautiful.

Complete side note: that Arkansas hoodie is great! Love the color and orange details.

You have the best vlogs and the loveliest vibes, so comforting 😊💛

I love that you are using your library, that's so nice to see!

I love when we get to see nature clips while seeing you read, reading outside is one of my favorites

u always bring up my mood and help me out of a reading slump !!

Haven't read any of those books, but I have read a couple of other books by Jo Nesbø and, unfortunately, the dated attitudes aren't unique to that book. A few might be the fault of things not translating well, but probably not most of them.

I love how everyone seems to collectively agree that the Finlay series is going downhill but refuses to stop reading it 😂

I love this video so much! I'm gonna read the second and third books in the Finlay Donovan series, so I'm really curious to see how I feel about them! Also, I love the snack time of your reading vlog! I wanna try those gummy candies! 👀✨

Enjoyed this video! And that you use your library so much :)

My favorite thing about this video is finding out that a countertop dishwasher exists 😮

I love the element of having to find the books at the library dude it really is a challenge nowadays I can never find the ones I want to read😢

I love that you do this without seeing their thoughts first!

I'm not mad you're making videos about 2023. I still LIVE in 2023. Aging out of YA is not going smoothly y'all😩

Love the hoodie! Hello from Springdale!

I’m sorry - is your library a DRIVETHRU?!? THATS SO AWESOME

Loving all these vidoes! So glad i joinined your channel!

8:28 Fav clip from vlog. Also, loved the vlog. 💙

Out of these three books, the only one that peaked my interest was The Night House. My library has a copy so I May read it at some point, but my expectations are severely lowered with how the book is written.

Imma need that dishwasher linked bestie

Good to know I ain’t missing much with the Finlay Donovan series 😂 hated the first book and was curious whether the rest were better

The little lego building scene so cute !!

Thanks for the honest, thoughtful reviews. You are brave. ;) (The white peach candy is def, better than the watermelon. FYI, the lychees is also tasty.)

Hey jesse i just wanted to tell u ur my fav booktuber ur vids always inspire me to pick up a book. Ur absolutely amazing and i cant wait for the next one i wrote this as ik watching this vid best wishes and be safe ❤

Your library is so cool!

Love watching Jesse trying to convince us he doesn't own a shrink ray.

Jesse, where can I buy a dishwasher like yours? You could give an affiliate link if you have one!

I enjoyed this cause deep in my heart I'm nosy AND petty lol I like the balance of talking and aesthetica

Hey, we’re all guilty of invoking the previous year. It’s ok.

There are 3(!) more Finlay books contracted after the 4th. So 7 in total. I was going to read the 4th but now I’m just like that’s too much for me.

Im rereading once upon a broken heart im excited to read the once upon a broken heart series

Okay but now I want to try the candy…

Love Gabby's and Tia's videos 🫖☕📚🔖

I feel like the whole Finlay Donovan Series would've been so much better if there wasn't any romance in it at all...even in the first book it was already annoying

The Night House is the first and only time in my life that I've returned a book to the shop and got my money back after reading it, because I was so pissed that I spent 12 quid on it.

You should definitely read cursed by Marissa Meyer soon! It is an amazing duology so good! If you haven’t read her other books you should definitely read them. You should read the renegades series which is sci-fi dystopian and so good! You should also read the lunar chronicles which is sci-fi fantasy and also amazing! You should also read heartless it’s a retelling of Alice and wonderland it’s so good but also a little sad. All of these are some of my top favorite books and she is a go to auto buy author.

the cover for Once more with Feeling gives me Jacqueline Wilson vibes >.>

I have never so far read any series that the squeals are worse then the first book, but I’ve not read too many books.

if i remember correctly (not sure from gavin or kayla) but finlay donavan was going to be 6 books???

Oh No, The Dead Romantics was in my top 5 best of 2023 reads!! 🖤

Ok I actually bought the Jo nesbo book and now I don't want to read it. Oh well I guess the little free library it goes

the dead romantics is one of my all time favorite books It hurt so much to hear that she has it in her worst books of 2023 video included aaaah pain :(((( florencebenji will always own my stupid little bookish heart hihi 💌💞💖

Not Jesse "never" finishing a series but investing himself in one he doesn't like😂

❤yay library ❤

I also didn't enjoy Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun....BUT I will be reading the next book in the series 😅

I read a river enchanted and a fire endless 5/5 stars , I almost cried at a fire endless , Jesse thank you for convincing me to read a river enchanted and a fire endless they were so good

25:24 Cute haircut

The cutest boy

I don’t understand why snow means you’re stuck at home? We get a LOT of snow here, but we just go on living our lives. 🤷🏻‍♀️

When you said montague twins, I threw up. IT'S SO BAD. THERE IS NO PLOT.

I hope it doesn’t come out wrong, but why put yourself through this purposely? I hate the whole “my worst books of 202-“ videos too. I’m super interested in people’s favorites, but I don’t need to waste time on the 1 stars. Just a thought.

"What about her is so magnetic?"
