Yes! Old people make me cry! You’re right. I cry every time I read A Man Called Ove and also when I read A Christmas Carol. I’m basically screaming the whole time “HE WANTS TO BE GOOD!! HE USED TO BE GOOD!! WAHHH!”
@Nicole Wyrick That’s another amazing call! I loved that film! I read a Christmas Carol every year and last year I went to see A Christmas Carol in London (The Old Vic Theatre) and went to Charles Dickens’ house AND watched that movie The Man Who Invented Christmas. ALLL AMAZING!!
A Christmas Carol is definitely my favorite book. I could spend all of December watching adaptations and listening to audio versions and never get sick of it.
Self analysis on someone who’s favorite book is A Little Life: You may be the type of person who finds the character building as the most compelling part of a novel. You will not turn down a well written book just because of it being sad. You love seeing the good, bad, & the ugly in a story.
Thank you! I'm sick of people reducing a little life to a sad book when it holds so much more than that! Ironically it was the book that made me feel the most hope for a character and left me with a need to reread
I didn't need a psychological evaluation, Jesse... But you're right on a lot of things, I'll give you that. Love these kinds of videos, thank you for being so kind!
The way I found out about Perks of Being a Wallflower fits what you said. I had a computer in middle school that was just for typing because I had a hard time writing. I left it in the classroom while I left to go to the room next door and when I came back someone had typed on it "You're a wallflower. You see things and you understand." I thought it sounded like a movie quote so I looked it up and found out about Perks of Being a Wallflower. I adore both the book and the movie. I never found out who typed that on my computer but I'm so thankful for whoever did.
My favorite book (even as an adult) is " A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. I think it has strong themes of family love but also found/adopted family. It has some lovely ideas about how science and faith can coexist, as well as the subtle fear of same-ness and lack of individuality. Logical but retaining a sense of whimsy and wonder 😀
1984 is on the way, have you heard of the devices they are making that monitor brain wave activity to tell if a worker is paying attention when working or on something else?
I'm the person who said Daisy Jones and The Six and everything you said was spot on! Seeing that my answer was included in the video made me so happy, this video was so fun!
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi is my absolute favourite book of the year so far. It really helped me remember what made me fall in love with reading in the first place. I think me loving this books means that I was dragged, kicking and screaming, away from the childhood playing pretend phase of life. And despite the fact that I mostly love the adult life that I built for myself, there will always be a part of me that will want to gather my childhood friends and run through the park pretending to be on a grand adventure.
A Little Life is one of my favorites, and you definitely got that right! If a book can make me laugh till I cry or cry till I laugh- that means it works lol.
I love this video concept. Unexplainably I felt calm and inspired watching this. Great script or spontaneous monologue or whatever inbetween. My love goes out💕
I LOVED Dasiy Jones and the Six, you are soooo correct I love the deep-drives into characters and that book does it perfectly. Great video💕 (just subscribed☺️)
Spot on with The perks of being a wallflower, A Man called Ove, A little Life, Kafka On The Shore and A Monster Calls I love all of those books and when people ask me I usually tell them one of those. 😊❤I think what all these books tells people about me as a person is I like to feel things and like to feel them hard and in full swing.
Mirrored by Alex Flinn is my favorite book. I actually have psychoanalyzed myself on this 😂 It's modern Snow White told from the pov of Celine (Snow) and Violet (evil stepmom). Both bullied at a young age for their looks, except Violet grew to be bitter and resentful whereas Celine was still kind and compassionate. As someone who was bullied growing up I saw myself as both characters but the book is a reminder that I can choose who I want to be.
"A Little Life", "The Raven Cycle" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" - all of these are amongst my favourite books and you got so many things right! Also, what you said about "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue" sounds exactly like what I am internally going through right now and that made me feel motivated to pick up the book, thank you! P.S. The Pink Venom improvisation at the end of the video made my day.
Your videos are my happy pill and its my birthday so nice to see a vid ftom you. I so love Namia and yeah I like giving advices but not unsolicited! 😁😁😁
The Miracles of the Namiya General Store is one of my favorites if not, my top 1 favorite book of all time!!! I’m so glad you love it!!!! It’s definitely ‘underrated’ in the book world but I think it holds a great reputation given that there are 2 adapted movies (Chinese and Japanese)! I’m looking for similar books but so far I haven’t seen one 😔
my favorite book i think is the hunger games mostly for the nostalgia and feelings i get from the series. it definitely screams mental health issues though as does my other favorite book: my heart and other black holes
My favorite book is the outsiders. If that doesn't tell you anything I love being an emotional wreck I cried way to much for that book. if I wasn't crying for a sad part you would find me crying happy tears (the time Darry and ponyboy finally admitted that they didn't hate each other In the hospital) if you look at my copy of that book you will find a million random tear drops all over the pages😂
Picking a favorite book is so hard for me😂, but I will say that one of my faves is The Giver by Lois Lowry and The Call Of The Wild by Jack London. Those books touched my soul and made me reflect in a lot of ways that I just love them❤📖📚
Love this video idea! However, possibly strange question -- I love those book paper roses in the pot behind you. Did you make them yourself? Or did you buy them somewhere? I'm getting married later this year and I'd love to have paper roses like that in my bouquets
someone gifted them to me, but I believe you can find book / paper roses on etsy! I'm also sure there's bound to be a tutorial on youtube! Hope that helps & congrats on your upcoming marriage!!
I love book of the month but I had to end my subscription for the time being because I didn't have the money and I didn't want to keep skipping a month. Plus bookshelf room was a factor too hehe
Kafka on the Shore is one of my favorite books (not number one, but perhaps top 10), but that was kind of spot on. I felt so attacked hahaha xD Never expected that when clicking on this video xD Do I wanna know what you would think of me that the Outlander series is my number one of all time ^^
Actually I understand why you would have that interpretation on a person whose favorite book is The Perks of being a Wallflower… BUT! It is my favorite book as well but I’m just the exact opposite of Charlie or a wallflower whatsoever… I just can’t explain why it’s my favorite….
This sounds like the time I tried to be a fortune teller to my friends, not necessarily untrue but also very philosophical. Not you saying you’re gonna roast people. 😆 I have five favourite books. The first one (Die Insel ist zu klein für uns vier) says that I am really fcking nostalgic because that is a book I read in primary school, the second one (Stranger Than Fanfiction) says about me that I like fanfiction, I liked Glee, I wanted to become an author or actor when I read that and I like sunglasses, the third (I Wish You All The Best) says that I was a queer nonbinary teenager, the fourth (Can’t Take That Away) says that I am the queer theatre kid (or at least I aspire to be known as that one day) and my most recent favourite (A Marvellous Light) says about me that I am still queer and like complex magic systems with subtle discussions of what intelligence is and complex characters (with development). So all in all that says about me that I am a queer nonbinary nostalgic teenager with a love of theatre, fantasy, complex characters with lots of character development and a complex magic system (which a preference of contemporary or fantastical). Not too much, tbh.
Geekerella is my favorite book I guess because it a fairy tail that can happen in real life and I think it's said I want to just go out and do something that I want to do for a long time and except that pain geeky is normal and fun
I don't know how people can choose one favorite book...I need categories to narrow it down lol. Like, my favorite classic (The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho) or my favorite middle-grade (Percy Jackson in general lol) or my favorite literary fiction (The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller). Otherwise I'll just stand there, floundering, until I get more specificity!
Doubt anyone here knows about one of my favourite books. Classic favourite: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. Modern(ish): The Awakening of Miss Prim by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera.
I expected to be hurt and called out because Jesse said he would roast us but I guess he's too polite to do that so he complimented and flatter us instead... 😅
1984. Yes! Not to be a brag but I think I'm intellectual and I don't understand most of society's norms, I think most of them are stupid (like saying you're fine when you're not)
I feel like your reads for my favorite books (Addie LaRue and The Raven Boys) weren’t very accurate to me, you hit on a few things especially for TRB, but in general weren’t super accurate. I think it’s because what you focused on were not the things in the books that were my favorite parts and/or the characters I related to the most. Like for Addie LaRue I related a lot more to Henry than I did to Addie so your analysis wasn’t very accurate because it related more to Addie’s character. Though there was a few things you said that I felt. Your analysis for TRB was more accurate but I feel like my love of TRB reflects my views on friendship more than anything else. And I’m not quite as adventurous as I would like to be but I am a little weird lol
Jesse: "I'm going to ROAST you all based on your favourite books."
Actually Jesse: _spends 15 minutes providing wonderfully in-depth book horoscopes_
"Book horoscopes" is what I thought, too.
Jesse the book oracle
Yes! Old people make me cry! You’re right. I cry every time I read A Man Called Ove and also when I read A Christmas Carol. I’m basically screaming the whole time “HE WANTS TO BE GOOD!! HE USED TO BE GOOD!! WAHHH!”
Well, if you ever want a good cry, read "Tuesdays with Morrie"
I cried so much reading that book...🥺
@@silviathelibrarian3884 I’m with you!! Great call.
@Nicole Wyrick That’s another amazing call! I loved that film! I read a Christmas Carol every year and last year I went to see A Christmas Carol in London (The Old Vic Theatre) and went to Charles Dickens’ house AND watched that movie The Man Who Invented Christmas. ALLL AMAZING!!

“I wear sandles in the winter time I’m so unique” I don’t know why this made me laugh so hard 😂
Perks of being a wallflower holds a special place in my heart because many of us can relate to the MC.
You're right about titles being a callout!
my favorite book is Dracula and I adore drinking bl- !
I mean what, who said that, nvm
LOL

A Little Life and 1984 are some of my favorites and I'd say it was spot on 👌
Do y think we gonna live like 1984? I see that we kinds heading that way.
@@AGULL Yess I think so! It's scary and fascinating at the same time
1984 is on the way, have you heard of the devices they are making that monitor brain wave activity to tell if a worker is paying attention when working or on something else?
@@arimcphail4124 No, I haven't but figures 🤦🏻♀️
A Monster Calls made me cry my eyes out, on the train
, after I finished it! It was so good yet so sad.
That book is the closest a book has ever come to making me cry
I'm the person who said Daisy Jones and The Six and everything you said was spot on! Seeing that my answer was included in the video made me so happy, this video was so fun!
You NAILED Kafka On The Shore!! Also you have to do a part 2!!
Please include Truly Devious series in your next video!! ❤
your channel makes me so nostalgic 😭
A little life is spot on!
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi is my absolute favourite book of the year so far. It really helped me remember what made me fall in love with reading in the first place.

2:43 This is why we love Jesse XD one of the funniest youtubers in my opinion

I love this video concept. Unexplainably I felt calm and inspired watching this. Great script or spontaneous monologue or whatever inbetween. My love goes out💕
I am a big fan of The Little Prince, and I really liked when he went to all the different planets the most.
As someone who loves 1984 (and Animal Farm and dystopian fiction in general)-spot on analysis.
I LOVED Dasiy Jones and the Six, you are soooo correct I love the deep-drives into characters and that book does it perfectly. Great video💕 (just subscribed☺️)
I love your rose background aesthetic!
Spot on with The perks of being a wallflower, A Man called Ove, A little Life, Kafka On The Shore and A Monster Calls I love all of those books and when people ask me I usually tell them one of those. 😊❤I think what all these books tells people about me as a person is I like to feel things and like to feel them hard and in full swing.
Mirrored by Alex Flinn is my favorite book. I actually have psychoanalyzed myself on this 😂 It's modern Snow White told from the pov of Celine (Snow) and Violet (evil stepmom).

Le petit prince and kafka on the shore are both my favs and you were very accurate indeed
I love your energy! It makes me want to read every single one of these books!
The little prince, Daisy Jones, Perks of being a wallflower, Kafka on the shore- all my favorites. And all assumptions are on point. Loved this video.
Shadow of the Fox and Assassin’s Blade are my favorites!!
Your videos are my happy pill and its my birthday so nice to see a vid ftom you. I so love Namia and yeah I like giving advices but not unsolicited! 😁😁😁
So happy to be one of the first views! Been binging booktube content and this showed up!
I started crying when you talked about A Little Life. I Haven't even read it.
Great video with great books. I can really see the differences and similarities in myself in all of them.
The Miracles of the Namiya General Store is one of my favorites if not, my top 1 favorite book of all time!!! I’m so glad you love it!!!! It’s definitely ‘underrated’ in the book world but I think it holds a great reputation given that there are 2 adapted movies (Chinese and Japanese)!
I’m looking for similar books but so far I haven’t seen one 😔
I love the Little Prince! Read it once in middle school! Still need to read other books you mentioned in the video.
Anne of Green Gables ❤ Finding your place in the world while truly seeing beauty everywhere even through hardship❤
Yes, the last book. Yes yes yes. I lost my dog too early and it still has a strong grip on me. You summarized me
Basically half of them where Jesse’s favorite, sooo did we just get a resume of his autobiography 👀👀👀
Really cool video !
my favorite book i think is the hunger games mostly for the nostalgia and feelings i get from the series. it definitely screams mental health issues though as does my other favorite book: my heart and other black holes
Shadow of the Fox is one of my favorites! And you were spot on
My favorite book is The Mistmantle Chronicles by M.I. McAllister. Not many people know about it. It is being reissued on purple house press.
make a part two of this!!! 😂
Kafka on the Shore is, as it happens, my favorite book, and your assessment was very accurate. :)
Inuyasha ! count me in !
I love Julie Kagawa's stories and animes are amazing.
Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of my favourite books and you're spot on for me. A little toooooo spot on. *insert obvious Big Brother joke here*
Haha I feel called out by your ocean review 😅👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👀
Where are the book jackets ok your shelves?!?😂
Damn itˋs creepy how spot on you were with my favorites The Perks of being a wallflower and Daisy Jones & the Six xD
yeah ok the daisy jones one is very accurate lol its like you literally read my mind....
My favorite books are Number the Starsby Lois Lowry and The Most Beautiful: My life with Prince by Mayte Garcia.
a little life is probably my favorite book of all time. having said that i will not recommend it willingly to anyone or re-read again. haha
Kafka on the shore… mmm.. you’re really weird 😂 the book or the person. Probably both! 😂
Ahhhh! You're an Inyuasha fan?! I love that anime! (I now have to read Shadow of the Fox😅)
Yeah I don’t appreciate the call out for Perks of Being a Wallflower my favorite book. 😂
I totally forget that i submitted an answer on your Instagram..... but that was spot on.
My favorite book is 1984 and I think you were really generous to me
HI!
I love your content ^_^
I am new here.
I enjoy your vibe a lot.
A little life is Boones favourite book
Early Gang y’all’. After this video is done I need to hop back into my book: Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough
My favorite book is the outsiders. If that doesn't tell you anything I love being an emotional wreck I cried way to much for that book. if I wasn't crying for a sad part you would find me crying happy tears (the time Darry and ponyboy finally admitted that they didn't hate each other In the hospital) if you look at my copy of that book you will find a million random tear drops all over the pages😂
This was the most wholesome roast I’ve ever seen and I’m not sure if I’m mad about it or not😂
OOP called me tf out at ocean at the end of the lane 😂
Love these types of videos
"Today immana be dragging some of you through the mud"
he said happily 😂💖
I didn’t expect this video to be serious. Mines A Little Life😢
love this! your channel is amazing! just curious, since you love books if you've ever wanted to become a writer ?
Picking a favorite book is so hard for me😂, but I will say that one of my faves is The Giver by Lois Lowry and The Call Of The Wild by Jack London. Those books touched my soul and made me reflect in a lot of ways that I just love them❤📖📚
My favorite is Lockwood and Co by Jonathan Stroud. Alright, now judge me I dare you!!!!
Love this video idea! However, possibly strange question -- I love those book paper roses in the pot behind you. Did you make them yourself? Or did you buy them somewhere? I'm getting married later this year and I'd love to have paper roses like that in my bouquets
someone gifted them to me, but I believe you can find book / paper roses on etsy! I'm also sure there's bound to be a tutorial on youtube! Hope that helps & congrats on your upcoming marriage!!
I love book of the month but I had to end my subscription for the time being because I didn't have the money and I didn't want to keep skipping a month. Plus bookshelf room was a factor too hehe
Read one book, Add three to my TBR 🤣
Kafka on the Shore is one of my favorite books (not number one, but perhaps top 10), but that was kind of spot on. I felt so attacked hahaha xD Never expected that when clicking on this video xD Do I wanna know what you would think of me that the Outlander series is my number one of all time ^^
Yayyy part of the early gang now🎉🎉🎉
My favourite currently has to be The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien but I have no clue what it says about me
You're not crazy Jesse, it's definitely Alie-been
The last few seconds of this video🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The Raphael Gomes of books
Actually I understand why you would have that interpretation on a person whose favorite book is The Perks of being a Wallflower… BUT! It is my favorite book as well but I’m just the exact opposite of Charlie or a wallflower whatsoever… I just can’t explain why it’s my favorite….
I mean Station Eleven is probably my favourite. I really don't know what that says about me.
I need a full cover of pink venom from you 😆
This sounds like the time I tried to be a fortune teller to my friends, not necessarily untrue but also very philosophical. Not you saying you’re gonna roast people. 😆

Jesse on lovers of The Raven Boys 😮
That felt both like an attack and a compliment hahaha I feel seen though
Geekerella is my favorite book I guess because it a fairy tail that can happen in real life and I think it's said I want to just go out and do something that I want to do for a long time and except that pain geeky is normal and fun
How do people pick a favorite book of all time 👁️👄👁️ I can't even pick a favorite from what I read last year.
I don't know how people can choose one favorite book...I need categories to narrow it down lol. Like, my favorite classic (The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho) or my favorite middle-grade (Percy Jackson in general lol) or my favorite literary fiction (The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller). Otherwise I'll just stand there, floundering, until I get more specificity!
46 seconds agooo? Too soon. 😂❤
Doubt anyone here knows about one of my favourite books.
Classic favourite: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
Modern(ish): The Awakening of Miss Prim by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera.
basically if you like addie larue you must be a slytherin
I do love Addie and I do do my best to make the most out of my life . I work so I can afford concerts lol
Did you read or like a Little Life?
I expected to be hurt and called out because Jesse said he would roast us but I guess he's too polite to do that so he complimented and flatter us instead... 😅
If I tell you that Midnight Library by Matt Haig is a favorite of mine, how would you judge/perceive me? 🤔
Te quiero mucho
1984. Yes! Not to be a brag but I think I'm intellectual and I don't understand most of society's norms, I think most of them are stupid (like saying you're fine when you're not)
EARLY!!!
10:54
Excuse me there are people who only read dialogue
I feel like your reads for my favorite books (Addie LaRue and The Raven Boys) weren’t very accurate to me, you hit on a few things especially for TRB, but in general weren’t super accurate. I think it’s because what you focused on were not the things in the books that were my favorite parts and/or the characters I related to the most. Like for Addie LaRue I related a lot more to Henry than I did to Addie so your analysis wasn’t very accurate because it related more to Addie’s character. Though there was a few things you said that I felt. Your analysis for TRB was more accurate but I feel like my love of TRB reflects my views on friendship more than anything else. And I’m not quite as adventurous as I would like to be but I am a little weird lol
But your analyses were a lot kinder than I expected, this was a good video!
