"just one book" haha, good lie 😂

My thoughts: "That guy over there is standing in front of the shelves I was going to look at next. I'll just awkwardly stand here and re-ead the titles of the books on these shelves till he moves on....... why hasn't he moved yet?!"

"WHY IS EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE????? DO I LOOK LIKE I'M MADE OF MONEY??????" "why tf do they have all the other books in that series but not the first one?" "*gasp* those books!! are not in order!! how dare they!!" "*grabs 15 books off the shelves* I WANT ALL OF THEM" "I already have this book...but this edition of it is so pretty..."

"i'll just pick up all of these books and then decide afterwards which one to buy" *buys all of them*

IF THE CASHIER HAS JUDGY EYES OVER A STACK OF BOOKS THAN THEY SHOULD NOT WORK IN A BOOKSTORE

Me: I want this and this and this and oooh this one Also me: I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY 😭😭😭

When I go to the bookstore my main problem is when they have all the books in a series but they are different editions and the covers and the height of the books don't match

I always wonder why there will be like the first and third books of a series next to each other then the second book will be like 20 miles away in no man's land :)

*THIS IS SO ACCURATE I'M CRYING*

"I don't want to buy this and end up not liking it." "I wonder if they'd mind if I just sat on this footstool and read the first 100 pages to see if I like this..."

i might as well buy the whole series... its inevitable, anyways

"I can't remember if I own this one or not" "Why did I come here when I'm on a book buying ban?" SO ME

how about, "why does my favorite book have to come out with a million different covers that makes me feel like I need to collect them all?"

Me: I only came in for a birthday present for my friend, don't buy anything else Also me: *walks out of the bookstore with 5 books and no birthday present*

so. damn. RELATABLE.

As a bookseller I can tell you now that when we ask people for help or if we give a recommendation and you've read the book or have comments we LOVE to hear it. Most booksellers are avid readers themselves and love to hear about people's favorite books so that we can recommend them to other readers (or read them ourselves!) Also we never judge people with huge stacks of books we really celebrate it. One because it proves that people still love and go to real bookstores and not just online, and two, we know those who buy multiple books are real book lovers who will probably come back! Also as a bookseller it is really really hard for me to not go home everyday without buying at least one book. TT_TT The struggle is real!

LOLOLOL! LOVE THIS VIDEO! SO RELATABLE!

"Can we stop putting tiny stickers on books!" That's me 😂😂😂

This video was so relatable! When I worked at a bookstore, I would definitely face my favorite YA books when I would stock! :)

I love these videos, they're hilarious and relatable :) Me when browsing in a bookstore: "Ooh this cover is really pretty, and it looks super interesting!" *checks price* "Ooohkay maybe not THAT interesting" *carefully placed book back on the self*

"Maybe I'll try reading something in a different genre than I'm used to!" [5 seconds later] "Who am I kidding. I'm never leaving this section."

me in my head: sooooo,, I'm just gonna explain to mom how much I've been wanting this book and how much I've been looking for it and how much it means to me and she should understand and say yes to getting it. easy peasy. me in reality: **follows mom around and shows her the book a few times without saying anything and hoping she takes the hint and doesn't ask how much it costs**

The book I was looking for wasn't here what do I do don't panic don't panic don't panic DON'T PANIC I'll just come back another time .... WAIT WHAT IS THIS OTHER BOOK IT'S SHINY MINE

When I want so many books, but I don't have enough money 😫

When my aunt gives me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday I literally forget about the other gifts and give my parents an evil smile. I tell them "So which one of you is taking me to Barnes and Noble? I have list of books that are calling my name so let's get going."

Me in every bookstore ever.

I always put the book back if is erotica and walk awkwardly away 😂

I'm not allowed to go into bookstores anymore, my bank account cries when I do. But no one can stop the Amazon orders!

There's only 1 real bookstore in the area and everytime I walk inside the bookstore just to look around (that's a lot ) I see the lady behind the desk (or something like that 😂) look at me like 'what the ?? She's here AGAIN!?!?'

I sing, "I like big books and I cannot lie. You other bookworms can't deny!" every time I go to Barnes and Noble.

Actual thing that happened: Me: *sees books store* Me: okay I'll just look Me: *runs into bookstore* Me: *fangirls over some beautiful new books covers of my fave series and my friend/parabatai literally has to drag me away from them* Me: okay ONE book Me:I can't choose Me: THIS one Book that I left behind: *puppy dog eyes* Me: puts five books on the counter Bookstore owner: *gives me a look like 'are yuh actually going to read those? Do people your age know what reading is?'* Me: *stares back like 'dude, we do. And yes, yes I am.'*

Literally trying to hold in my squeal when I see a new video from you!! My favorite booktuber 💜

Every time I walk into a book store I’m always overwhelmed with which book to get.

The thing that usually comes through my mind when I'm at a book store is "Why am I here when I have no money?"

One time I accidentally bought Crooked Kingdom before Six of Crows...

*finished watching video* That's not me..... *checks bank account* ......maybe that's me

SENPAI UNDERSTANDS ME also WHY IS EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE LIKE DUDE.... and WHY IS THAT ONE SERIES MISSING THE THIRD BOOK LIKE DUDE. and dont get me started on everyone putting the best books on top of the shelf. like im teeny tiny tweensy what do you want me to even do bro BAIIII CHUU

My thoughts in a bookstore sum up to one continuous stream of "buy it buy it buy it..."

My mind I NEED THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND THIS AND ALSO THIS AND THIS MAYBE THIS *walks out with 1,000 books and no money left*

Everytime I go I think. will my dad get mad if I buy 10 books hahaha

it's like looking in a mirror wow

Can I just say I just found you... And I'm in love you have so many books and my heart is like going crazy that room is like a dream room to me.. OMG

I'm watching this in a public space and I'm having trouble containing myself this is so accurate😂😂

i can honestly relate to this haha

I have that problem of "BOOK IS TOO HIGH UP" every day... 15 and 5 foot 2. It's not a good combo.

"This looks interesting" ..."Oh wait, it's erotica, LATEERR!" Love you Jesse

this was very relatable! I constantly want to give recommendations to random people! love the vid!!

"$50 $50 $50 you can't spend more then $50 because the other $50 is for sa- OH MY GOSH IS THAT-- IT IS I NEED TO GET!!!"

*So many books, so little money.*

The whole "That bookseller better not ask me if I need any help because they are asking the wrong person. If anything they need my help," has actually came out of my mouth. Every time I go to BAM and they have a new worker who asks if I need help I get a little annoyed. Don't they know I'm a regular here? Poor things.

This is so accurate I can't even process

I love ur taste in books, the City of Bones and Shades of Magic Series are one of my favorites!!!

Me:Why does this bookstore not have the book i wa- ooooh this one is so prettyy. And that one. Oh and this one sounds promising. A HARDCOVER AAAAAHHH Bookstore owner: Why is that girl hugging books?!?

Its 01:38 a.m here n.. I was studying.... But when.Jessie uploaded... I NEEDED a break

Me: agreeing with all of these points Also Me: maybe I should go to a bookstore... I only have to get one book Me, but Later: I CANT WAIT TO READ THE SEVEN BOOKS I JUST BOUGHT

When they finally have the 3rd book of a your series in stock, but see someone bent the cover and the first few pages as they put it back In the shelf😭

I AGREE. But I have some things to say tho. If you're in a bookstore, please PLEASE DON'T REARRANGE THE BOOKS LIKE YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE. Take it from me, I've been working in a bookstore for almost 2 years now, and it might not seem like it, but we do have a system. so pls pls don't. Aaaaand we are also massive booknerds, so don't expect you're talking to someone who doesn't know their shit xd yes, I might know nothing about dutch literature(I'm dutch, work in a dutch bookstore) but I DO know a LOT about fantasy, Y/A, and childrens books. We only want to help you find the best book we know, so yes, I'm actively selling V E Schwabs serie bc it's my favourite serie. I can't see in your head if you already read it or not :( But otherwise: YES YES YES. I have to leave my wallet at home so that I don't buy new books every day :')

I always take pictures of books to buy at a later time when I have money 💰😊

Did I just see Rick Riordan books? He was just holding the Son of Neptune in hand!!!

GOSH IT'S LITERALLY ME IN A BOOKSTORE

It's really funny cos I hate stickers on books, yet my job is to put stickers on them 😂

"imagine if this bookstore caught fire" its a horrible thought but yikes imagine

I work at a bookstore. I can confirm that all of these thoughts go through my head every shift.

I LOVE THESE SKETCHES!

Your bookshelves are glorious!

"How easy would it be to steal this because I'm broke..." DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NEVER STOLEN IN MY LIFE

Omg, I love your skits! I was so excited when I saw this in my subscriptions list.

Love your videos! Always entertainingly real and insightful!

after millions of years, jessthereader finally uploaded a video.

The thought I get on a bookstore is that should I buy the 1st book on my TBR list or the 100th one, first.

Its so TRUE!!!! You should do a part 2, I love this!

THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAV VIDEO FROM YOUUU

"WHY ARE BOOKS SO EXPENSIVE IN AUSTRALIA?!" is basically what I'm thinking whenever I'm in a book store lol

I'm with you when it comes to erotica, I just run from it hahaha.

This is so relatable! Especially with the 'recommending books' ones! BTW - I've totally recommended books to strangers, especially when they already have the book in their hands. Why not just tell them how much I love it!

I feel like Jesse you pretty much hit the nail with all of the thoughts that go through my head at a bookstore

Literally me

ahhhhh I love this video. Unfortunately, I live in Australia and a $50 gift card will only get you 2 books in total :( Why is everything so expensive in Australia?

When I am in a bookstore I am taking so many pictures from books to remember getting them later

I love how much time you take into writing your videos

can I live here?! ≧﹏≦ Can't relate more,this is me when ever I go to the book store 😂❤

THIS IS SO FUN AND EXTREMELY ACCURATE YESSSSS JESSE
