I’m sooo happy you liked A Good Girls Guide To Murder!! It was the first thriller/ murder mystery I have ever read and I loved it!! The second and third books in the series are amazing too!! By the end of the trilogy you will be so attached to the characters. Holly Jackson has another book that just came out called five survive. It was good and is worth a read but compared to her other books it’s not as good in my opinion. Hope you have an amazing Valentine’s Day!!❤❤😊
This video shows that how different people have different opinions and I like that idea. For me the good girls guide series was one of the best series I read last year.
I loved good girls guide , I followed along with the audio because it has full cast and the podcast in it which brings it to life more I’m currently reading/listening to the finale of the series
If you want a translated novel about a cat and an owner, please please please read The Travelling Cat Chronicles. It is beautiful and emotional and definitely worth your time!
I enjoyed Good Girl’s Guide to Murder but also find the criticisms very valid! There are some points when I was so mad at Pip while reading yelling at her and thinking the scenario or circumstance would NEVER happen!! But it was also a lot of fun reading and loved Pip’s notes sprinkled within it!
I love seeing Emma here!!! I love her so much. I also have kingdom of little wounds and am very slowly making my way through it and literally all my tabs are just for "illness", "death", "weird", "gross"...... 😅 can't wait to see your opinions on all the books haha and now on to watching!
The first book of a good girls guide to murder was good but not amazing for me but I was invested so I read the second and third. Those two are significantly better (and darker) I felt like pip and the side characters were a bit 1-dimensional for me but Holly Jackson really fleshed everyone out in the later books, I loved how pip developed and the way the author depicted her trauma was disturbing and devastating and I definitely understand how she ended up the way she did. OH AND I ALSO LOVE THE PARALLELS SHE MADE BETWEEN ANDIE AND SAL WITH PIP AND RAVI IN THE LATER BOOKS. one thing I didn’t like however was how random pip and ravi’s relationship felt in the first and second book, but in the third I really like the way she wrote them, I don’t know how to describe it without spoilers BUT IT WAS GOOD. the series as a whole isn’t realistic at all but it was enjoyable, a faced paced read and emotional read. Edit: Also the things that seem cliche and out of place all tie together in the second and third books which I really like.
I can finally complement the gorgeous idea that Jesse had for his bookshelves! I know it can be weird but I'm really in love for how it turn out, like clean and solid, so him! IN LOVE 🥰✨✨
@@jessethereader yeah I know, I’ll enjoy it as long as you leave it 🥰 Hope one day you mix the naked books with books turned to see the beautiful edges :3
Started watching your channel back in 2017, and you were my first booktuber whose recommendations I absolutely fell in love with, and emmie is my recent favorite. It's amazing to see you reading emmies recs. It's like I've come a full circle
You made the last two months better for me! I have been dealing with the death of someone really close to me as well as dealing with problematic family members.
My days always get better because of your videos! Thanks for being authentic and honest, it gives me a comfort since I’ve been watching your channel for so many years
Great video Jesse 😄 I took all of the covers off of my books last year…it only lasted two days before I put them all back. I also once turned all of my books around so they were facing pages out which was difficult when I was looking for something but I kept it for a few months.
These types of videos are always so interesting! I have a good girl's guide to murder on hold, now i'm looking forward to reading it after hearing your thoughts :D
I flipped when I saw you read AGGGTM, which is maybe the first one you and I have in common! *Total honesty right now, I thought you had read it because of a UA-cam video I did RIGHT BEFORE you put it up on Goodreads, hahaha!* I feel like you and I could just gab about it and have such the same opinions!🤗
If you want to get into translated literary fiction more you should definitely try the travelling cat chronicles. Most wholesome and heartbreaking book I’ve read
The second and third books of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder go way more in depth with the characters so I really recommend reading them! I personally thought the third book was the worst out of the 3 but who knows, maybe you'll like it more than I did. What I will say though is that it gets WAY more intense later in the series
i loved reding a good girls guide to murder up until abt the last 50 pages. it was relatively well written and even though it wasnt realistic it was good, but the insane amount of plot twists at the end rly annoyed me. it was like almost resolved like 15 times and then went back on what it said.
I think my least favorite was Aristotle and Dante, it SURPRISES me how many people love this? Even if you ignore the trainsphobia (for utube), which I don't, there were so many editing mistakes that kept taking me out of the story? I'm not a harsh critic when it comes to grammar and editing mistakes, but actual book critics usually are, and the combination of those and the problematic story line like jump scared me because of all the praise lmao
I really liked A Good Girl's Guide to Murder because the trope that you disliked (understandably so) I thought was actually done well, in like a silly goofy kind of way. It reminded me of Pretty Little Liars, so even though I'd never read it before, it had this nostalgic air already about it. Though, I haven't read the other two yet. I do have a copy of the second book though...
What did you do with the paper covers of your books? How do you store them??? I really like the look but I have no idea what I would do with the covers
Amazing video as always 😍 the way you speak is so nice Please save yourself the trouble of reading the rest of the gggm trilogy.... loved the 1st books, the 2nd was meh and the 3rd was just so disappointing...
first video i saw of yours. but I love the things you say. video is def energetic, editing slightly chaotic. but I'm a loud person too. so hey, it all good
Last week, I went shopping and fell in love with a cute little plant. Bought the cute little plant, obviously. Now I saw the same cute “little” plant in your video and realised how absolutely huge that thing can apparently get. Which also explains why I’ve had it for a week and it already looks bigger. Oh boy…😂
Just subscribed! It's so interesting to hear different people's perspectives on books. This was a really fun video to watch despite the fact that it reminded me how much I have left to learn about video editing. 😅
i’m not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but there is a manga adaptation of “she and her cat!” it was based off shinkai’s novel and illustrated by the artist behind “blue period”, yamaguchi tsubasa. the book follows one woman through a year of seasons of her life and is all told entirely through the eyes of her cat iirc-rather than the switching pov format. it’s available in english, so if you ever do want to approach the story in another way, i’d see if the adaptation looks interesting
I bought The Kingdom of Little Wounds along with other books that I thought would satisfy my fairy tale retellings... But... I DNF it as soon as I read five pages (?) and it was such a waste for me. I even love the cover. But I knew from the beginning it was not YA.
Oh god, I /hated/ Kingdom of Little Wounds. The fairy tales and pure spite kept me from just abandoning it to my DNF pile, but it was a close one. It's so good to hear others felt the same fiery rage at subjecting ourselves to that. 😆 If you want to get into translated books and you don't mind reading them digitally, you should read Clear and Muddy Loss of Love and/or Lord Seventh! They have all the political intrigue, messed up people dealing with ✨life✨, and backstabbing I was hoping for in KoLW without all the weird medical facts we absolutely never asked for being dumped on the reader.
God I hated good girl's guide to murder, maybe because I actually read and watch a lot of crime stuff so it was so infuriating. It went down too fast, she had too much plot armour, it was just too easy for her. I just don't get why people love it.
I would like to personally extend my condolences for the suffering you’ve now endured😂
i cant believe this hi everytime i see u anywhere on youtube im starstruck
Pm I pal
Jack, Emmie, and Elias: *makes videos on terrible books to warn people against reading them*
Jesse: *now look at me and this opportunity*
a jesse and jack crossover is the content i need!
i love me some jaaaaack
Now you said it I won‘t die peacefully if I don‘t see it happen
i love how artistic and uniquely styled jesse's videos always are. can't wait to watch this one!
thanks grace!
I’m sooo happy you liked A Good Girls Guide To Murder!! It was the first thriller/ murder mystery I have ever read and I loved it!! The second and third books in the series are amazing too!! By the end of the trilogy you will be so attached to the characters.
Holly Jackson has another book that just came out called five survive. It was good and is worth a read but compared to her other books it’s not as good in my opinion.
Hope you have an amazing Valentine’s Day!!❤❤😊
I am such a AGGGtM fan and recommend it any chance I get at it. Sadly, Five Survive was a huge letdown.
@@theelizaaguilar I totally agree. Like I’m glad I read it but it didn’t have the depth that her other books do.
Ooooh I love this idea! It's amazing how so many people can read the same book and each will see it differently depending on personal context.
right!!
This video shows that how different people have different opinions and I like that idea. For me the good girls guide series was one of the best series I read last year.
I loved good girls guide , I followed along with the audio because it has full cast and the podcast in it which brings it to life more I’m currently reading/listening to the finale of the series
dare I say- books without covers are STUNNING! it's such an awesome idea- they look so much better!
haha it definitely grew on me, but i’ll probably end up putting all the covers back on 😅
I agree
If you want a translated novel about a cat and an owner, please please please read The Travelling Cat Chronicles. It is beautiful and emotional and definitely worth your time!
oooh! thanks for the rec!
7:54 I agree omg the no covers look is a vibe™! especially with the red rose garlands at 15:05 😻
I enjoyed Good Girl’s Guide to Murder but also find the criticisms very valid! There are some points when I was so mad at Pip while reading yelling at her and thinking the scenario or circumstance would NEVER happen!! But it was also a lot of fun reading and loved Pip’s notes sprinkled within it!
8:06 I LOVED this series
I love seeing Emma here!!! I love her so much. I also have kingdom of little wounds and am very slowly making my way through it and literally all my tabs are just for "illness", "death", "weird", "gross"...... 😅 can't wait to see your opinions on all the books haha and now on to watching!

Edit: Also the things that seem cliche and out of place all tie together in the second and third books which I really like.
Omg the description of 'the scream' in book two has still stuck with me as such a striking representation of trauma MONTHS after I read it
The thing with the a good girls guide to murder trilogy is that you get SO much more character growth and work in the 2nd/3rd book
I can finally complement the gorgeous idea that Jesse had for his bookshelves! I know it can be weird but I'm really in love for how it turn out, like clean and solid, so him! IN LOVE 🥰✨✨
thanks so much! it's definitely not staying this way, but it will be like this for a little longer.
@@jessethereader yeah I know, I’ll enjoy it as long as you leave it 🥰

@@jessethereader you both are❤️❤️❤️
You made the last two months better for me! I have been dealing with the death of someone really close to me as well as dealing with problematic family members.
i'm so sorry to hear that. hang in there!
My days always get better because of your videos! Thanks for being authentic and honest, it gives me a comfort since I’ve been watching your channel for so many years

This made me laugh so much, and was just what I needed today. Thank you.
I'm glad!! Thanks for watching. I hope you have a great day!
Great video Jesse 😄
I took all of the covers off of my books last year…it only lasted two days before I put them all back. I also once turned all of my books around so they were facing pages out which was difficult when I was looking for something but I kept it for a few months.
I already knew you really like Emma as a booktuber so happy that you include her here..😍😍😍
she's a lovely human!! i want to go to a cafe with her and talk all things books.
Love this series! It was a sweet opening, but the content was spicy! 🤣
Also, I love the string background! Great work👍✨
this is the first video of yours ive watched and wow your energy is literally so contagious i love ur content already
tysm! 🖤
These types of videos are always so interesting! I have a good girl's guide to murder on hold, now i'm looking forward to reading it after hearing your thoughts :D
I've watched emmie's experience with the kingdom of little wounds and the dread upon seeing it again is severe
I flipped when I saw you read AGGGTM, which is maybe the first one you and I have in common! *Total honesty right now, I thought you had read it because of a UA-cam video I did RIGHT BEFORE you put it up on Goodreads, hahaha!* I feel like you and I could just gab about it and have such the same opinions!🤗
Your shelves look gorgeous! 😍
ty!!
I watched this video and i never got bored , I love the energy on and the end was the best thank you for making it 😁 i really enjoyed it
i love how calm and comforted jesse's videos always make me feel
🖤🖤🖤
I really enjoyed this video! Jesse's delivery of "I'm smarter than most you and you need to listen to me, okay!?" had me laughing so hard 🤣
LOL :D
If you want to get into translated literary fiction more you should definitely try the travelling cat chronicles. Most wholesome and heartbreaking book I’ve read
I don't think I've ever heard you sing, but you have an amazing voice
Love your videos as always! I honestly really like the books on your shelves without the book jackets
Thanks so much!
@@jessethereader you’re welcome!
Huge fan of loving books that others hated XD
He's so creative, how could I not being his fan?
Love this idea. The first two are on my to read list. Enjoyed this video🙌
Jesse, you have such a lovely singing voice! ❤
I LOVE your bookshelf (books without the covers)🤩🤩🔥🔥
thank you! it's grown on me quite a bit. i'm not keeping it that way for tooooo long, but it's a nice change. :D

These video are so fun to watch! Also I agree on GGGTM, also I read the rest and it’s so worth it!
Thanks for making Monday better! I just got A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder but I’m trying to finish Chain of Thorns first. 😅
I think my least favorite was Aristotle and Dante, it SURPRISES me how many people love this? Even if you ignore the trainsphobia (for utube), which I don't, there were so many editing mistakes that kept taking me out of the story? I'm not a harsh critic when it comes to grammar and editing mistakes, but actual book critics usually are, and the combination of those and the problematic story line like jump scared me because of all the praise lmao
You might like The Cat Who Saved Books! Its really cozy and slice-of-lifey with a little bit of whimsy
I really liked A Good Girl's Guide to Murder because the trope that you disliked (understandably so) I thought was actually done well, in like a silly goofy kind of way. It reminded me of Pretty Little Liars, so even though I'd never read it before, it had this nostalgic air already about it. Though, I haven't read the other two yet.

I reccomend finishing the series, it just gets better and better.
Love these every time you make them✨
ty!!
"And the book that I choose from her worst list, The Kingdom of Little Wounds"
😬 (Haven't read it, but did see her talking about it.)
it was as rough as she said it was hahaha
What did you do with the paper covers of your books? How do you store them??? I really like the look but I have no idea what I would do with the covers
Amazing video as always 😍 the way you speak is so nice
Please save yourself the trouble of reading the rest of the gggm trilogy.... loved the 1st books, the 2nd was meh and the 3rd was just so disappointing...
I love when you do these types of videos!
first video i saw of yours. but I love the things you say. video is def energetic, editing slightly chaotic. but I'm a loud person too. so hey, it all good
Great video! Love Emmie's videos as well..read good girls guide gave it 5/5 stars 📚☕❄️
WAIT!!! Your singing at the end!!!!! You’re so good!!!!
Your videos always make my days a little better!
that makes me happy to hear!
Susann Cokal's Mermaid Moon is awesome but I've heard weird things about kingdom of little wounds for sure 🤣
Jesse you have made my day so much better. I love your videos 💗
i'm happy to hear that!
Last week, I went shopping and fell in love with a cute little plant. Bought the cute little plant, obviously.

I loved A Good Girls Guide to Murder! It's my favourite crime thriller so far after I was let down by The Silent Patient and Verity.
i’m not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but there is a manga adaptation of “she and her cat!” it was based off shinkai’s novel and illustrated by the artist behind “blue period”, yamaguchi tsubasa. the book follows one woman through a year of seasons of her life and is all told entirely through the eyes of her cat iirc-rather than the switching pov format.
it’s available in english, so if you ever do want to approach the story in another way, i’d see if the adaptation looks interesting
Your book shelves look very cool like this
I should be talking about books but here I am, shocked at how well you sing
tyyyy 🖤
Jesse, love your shirt!!
where did you get your baudelaire kid poster, that’s so cool!!
I was so scared for you when I saw Emma’s worst book
I'm scarred for like me thinks.
I love the bookshelves without any dust jackets ✨
ty!! i wasn’t sure about it at first, but it grew on me a lot.
Anyone notice the Le Sserafim albums in the background! 😍 💕💕
ant ti ti ti ti fragile fragile :D
i'm a sakura stan haha
Loved this video! Kingdom of Little Wounds? HATED
Jesse you should do a class/video on videography and video editing, because your editing is 👌🏼👌🏼....
wow! ty so much 🖤
I bought The Kingdom of Little Wounds along with other books that I thought would satisfy my fairy tale retellings... But... I DNF it as soon as I read five pages (?) and it was such a waste for me. I even love the cover. But I knew from the beginning it was not YA.
VERY understandable! It was a rough read.
still shocked it's shelved as YA.
Oh god, I /hated/ Kingdom of Little Wounds. The fairy tales and pure spite kept me from just abandoning it to my DNF pile, but it was a close one. It's so good to hear others felt the same fiery rage at subjecting ourselves to that. 😆

4:43 that how I felt about Pachinko I just couldn’t finish it 💀💀🙈
oh no!! i've been hoping to get to that one!
Omg I love this video idea!!
the horror on my face when you read the description from the first book 💀
loved this video!!!!!
Your eyes are BEAUTIFUL! Especially with that green t shirt u were wearing in between ❤
thanks! green & blue shirts really make them pop lol
I KNEW YOU WOULD LIKE TGGGTM!!!! it’s the bad taste for me 😝
Hehe jk daddy
I love the girls guide to murder series it was so entertaining the second two books especially
The post-credits blooper reel tho 😂
i found for a good girls guide to murder got better as the series went along! the second one was my favourite!
ooh! that has me excited to pick up the next book!
Here's a comment for the algorithm because I love your videos 💙
ty
I love your singing!!!
Not the milk jellies 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't like A good girls guide to murder
You're not ruining anyone's day. You're just making it way more better. Please know that you're doing greater than you realise 🧡
Huh. That first book is how I could easily describe My Year of Rest and Relaxation which also committed the crime of being boring
Take a shot every time Jesse says “little bird” 💀💀
This is such a fun concept! I would love if it was longer like 5 books 😅
"everone is allowed to have their own opinion on books and criticism is valid-"
*ellisa hates A Good Girls Guide to Murder*
IM SORRY???????
LOL
have you ever read john katzenbach? i'm curious on your thoughts of his work and the way he leads his stories
We love a good crossover episode👀
4:56 God! That's horrible. I need bleach for my ears.
i feel that
For the first book it seems like it was YA solely based in character age or the author being a woman ,cause YIKES.
Oh wow, the historical syphilis book they tried to sell us as YA. Haven't thought about that one in a while.
Also your singing at the end ❤
Came here to say that!
@@Readerchey he’s really good 😊
I love the new bookshelf 💗👌
