TwirlyButera You and Jesse are sooooo relatable. I prefer talking in school or texting. Because in school, you are forced to be there. So awkward silences are excused. Texting, I can just say 'Bye, I have to do something.' But calling someone means you have to have an on going conversation.
TheDiamondKid Yes, whenever my phone rings I'm like "did something urgent happened, is someone like dying?" but then I pick it up and it's just some random conversation that could be easily done through texting and ugh If you wanna talk let's either meet up or you better type, nothing in between. I can't read a book if I'm holding my phone blabbing with you.
Yes, there's so much pressured involved. To avoid awkward silences you have to keep thinking ahead to find things to say. When you text, even in a fast conversation you have time to confortably think before hitting 'send', and best of all, you can edit stuff.
I love when you make these skit videos! They're just so relatable 😂 The netflix thing constantly distracts me, because I know if I start watching a show I won't dedicate time to reading haha!!
this is my life story. i pick up the book and then I start reading and mid paragraph I think about something and i forget whatever I just read and it's torture. i'm just a distracted person in general, it doesn't help lol
This is me when I find something a book that I relate to , then I start making connections to my own life. I somehow end up closing the book , and ranting out loud to my self about whatever thing that caused me to be distracted. I'm a mess 😂
That is so me!!! (.... I was reading.... then I got a text.... then I got a UA-cam notification.... then I went to the "recommend for you section".... fast forward 20 minutes... and now I'm here...😂)
Hahahaha, love this. Yep often feel this, want everything to be perfect when I finally start the book - not hungry, drink at hand, comfortable (this takes ages), and silence for miles. Then want the right vibe/mindset, often people have to tell me to start the book, like what am I afraid of? - heartbreak, crushing of dreams, death. Pretty much, but there is also so much to gain!
I do this sometimes honestly The thing with me and reading is that is hard to make myself start to read, but after I get into it, if I like the book, I can do it for hours
You just understand me so much! I'm such a huge distracted reader, and it's so frustrating, because my mind thinks like it does, like it will forget that I"m supposed to sit here and read the book, and be okay with that. I try to put my phone on silent, and out of reach, that way I can't be deserved when I read.
The distraction I face the most is when I'm sitting in bed reading and I accidentally take a nap instead! It happens to me all the time, and I can never get any reading done!
I couldn't stop laughing. I get distracted all the time by everything and it's not just when I'm reading but when I'm watching a movie a series and it's just like in this video.
These videos are amazing, and I actually got distracted from re-reading Queen of Shadows by this beautiful skit video! These make my day, or night in this case, brighter. Love your videos Jesse.
Omg this is SO me. The two main distractions for me are my phone (social media man, it's killer) and seeing other books that I want to read as well. The struggle is SO real
Finally someone that understands! Every time I mention this to my friends they are like "How do you get distracted and start thinking of other things? That never happens to me!"
Haha this has been me recently! I have been in a mini slump and every time I pick up a book, I get distracted, then I go look at my shelf and think about all the other books I want to read haha
Me, because I’m a very easily distracted reader, and I have to say to myself, “Book. Read. NOW.” One thing that I find helps with immersion and getting less distracted is reading along to the respective audiobook sped up to your reading speed. You soak in everything a bit more; and once you’re into the book, you’ll find it easier to read it even without the audiobook.
OMG that's so me!!! I'm always coming up with stuff I have to Google *right nao!* when I'm reading. It's especially hard being a writer and having everything spark ideas for that plotpoint or character arc I was working on (Or give me new ideas to add to the "will write someday" pile of plotbunnies that almost puts my TBR to shame.) BTW, you broke me at "donut". (I happen to be in my grad class on break atm, and not randomly cackling like a crazy person in front of everyone is so hard right now.) 😂😂😂
"I wonder what the sequel of this book is going to be like" that's so reall like bro I'm not even half the book and already thinking about the next one
when I get distracted I continue reading, just not actually reading and then I'm in the next chapter but have to go back because I've been blanking out
I left my husband and son in the other room to come read with no distractions, and now I'm watching a video about being a distracted reader. Jesse always brings the truth with these videos!
I love these videos so much! They are so creative and fun to watch! I loved your old videos too, but you seem so happy when you film these they just really stand out!
I can literally read while a group of people are talking and be invested no joke I don’t get distracted easily when I’m reading a good book for example the hole miss peregrine series 🙂 I love those books so much !
I can be reading and getting really into it and think nothing can distract me but then someone texts me and I start looking at every form of social media I use then 2 hours later I go read again and the cycle continues :)
"Everyone knows i'm terrified of talking on the phone" omg me
Hahaha right? I'm always like "Why are you calling me instead of texting me? Why are you doing this to me?"

Camile Souza Saaaammmeee.
Me want read book pwease.
I *hate* awkward silences. It's just *ugh*. It's *horrible*. I can't keep up a conversation.
Yes, there's so much pressured involved. To avoid awkward silences you have to keep thinking ahead to find things to say. When you text, even in a fast conversation you have time to confortably think before hitting 'send', and best of all, you can edit stuff.
It's kinda ironic that I just got distracted from reading by a video about getting distracted while reading :D
l123isamuell same what are you reading
l123isamuell same😂 I even forgot to get my book when I got up to get my book
CJ Dangerfield the sun is also a star by nicola yoon. and you?
Me! And now I'm distracted by replying to you. 😂
l123isamuell I'm rereading Percy Jackson for the 80th time :P it's the best
I am currently reading a book and I am distracted by a video about being a distracted reader. I am living the distracted bookish life.
Literally me

Katerina M

Clary Fray OMG I need Jace now!!
Stranger things!
This is soooo me. Especially the bookmark part 😂😂
Rika Lockwood same I have an extensive bookmark collection sometimes it's takes me forever to pick a bookmark xD
And then you find out the cat stole your favorite bookmark and you get distracted with lecturing the cat about stealing bookmarks.....
this is my life story. i pick up the book and then I start reading and mid paragraph I think about something and i forget whatever I just read and it's torture. i'm just a distracted person in general, it doesn't help lol
i hate it when I'm so into a book and then someone disturbs me making me lose where I was reading 😒
This is so me... I'll read the same sentence 60 times and never take it in XD
“Forget the bedsheets... save the book!!”
MEEEEEEEEEEE
I was supposed to be reading right now.. how'd I end up on UA-cam?
Crayonfactory Because you were being a distracted reader. What book are you reading right now?
gods me toooo
Tiffany Warner they didn’t answer which means they couldn’t decide
Two years late but I’m currently reading The Rising by Kelley Armstrong (a reread from my middle school days)
Kira Irwin and I just realized I accidentally replied from my google account instead of my UA-cam account
yay ADHD brain. It just means you're a demi god though, duh!
TheBooksnLooks YAAAASSSS lol so funny because I'm reading the Percy Jackson series and got distracted by this video
This is so accurate it's scary
It's sad how much we relate to this.
This is me when I find something a book that I relate to , then I start making connections to my own life. I somehow end up closing the book , and ranting out loud to my self about whatever thing that caused me to be distracted. I'm a mess 😂
The distracted reader? More like the distracted student because I just stopped my essay to watch this video :) xoxo
I ALWAYS get distracted when I try to read in a car I get really weird thoughts like "I wonder how these plants can live next to all these cars" 😂
Isn't it ironic that I was reading and then stopped to watch this video...
This is so me Jesse, like 100%
You have me thinking about donuts now 😂☺
I don't even LIKE donuts and suddenly I wanted a donut! :/
Totally me!! I peek at the last chapter but I say, "NO PICKING, NO NO DONT DO IT!!!"
the no peaking thing is literaly me. i have spoild myself so many times
omg its actually so sad how much i relate especially to the netflix one and the food wowza
"Everyone knows I'm terrified of talking on the phone."
......why do I relate to this?
"Who's calling me everyone knows I'm terrified of talking on the phone!" STORY OF MY LIFE!! 😂😂😂
Me trying to "Red Queen" right now.
Or almost every single book I try to read.
That is so me!!! (.... I was reading.... then I got a text.... then I got a UA-cam notification.... then I went to the "recommend for you section".... fast forward 20 minutes... and now I'm here...😂)
Great video! 😂 I always get distracted by my phone & end up browsing social media for hours instead of reading. 😅
This is me right now about to read six of crows. I started watching this because I got so distracted
This is literally me more than half the time. Also, I was about to read but I started watching this video. I think this is inception
Hahahaha, love this. Yep often feel this, want everything to be perfect when I finally start the book - not hungry, drink at hand, comfortable (this takes ages), and silence for miles. Then want the right vibe/mindset, often people have to tell me to start the book, like what am I afraid of? - heartbreak, crushing of dreams, death. Pretty much, but there is also so much to gain!
I do this sometimes honestly

Yes! I'm constantly distracted by work or Facebook when I'm trying to read.
yeah...this is me😂it sucks
Yes I totally understand! I usually have to turn my phone on silent so I won't get distracted while I'm reading!
I get this problem a LOT! Most of the time I sit and admire the actual book.
OMG I can relate to this soooo much! Especially being afraid of talking on the phone. . .
"Everyone knows I'm terrified of talking on the phone" :D
Lovely video! So much fun watching it
His facial expressions in this are PRICELESS!
I couldn't stop laughing. I get distracted all the time by everything and it's not just when I'm reading but when I'm watching a movie a series and it's just like in this video.
But what kind of doughnut????
So many questions!!!!!!
Ahh THAT IS SO ME! It happens all the time because I can't focus u less it's completely quiet or I'm in the middle of the book!
THIS IS SO RELATABLE AS USUAL I LOVED IT
These videos are amazing, and I actually got distracted from re-reading Queen of Shadows by this beautiful skit video! These make my day, or night in this case, brighter. Love your videos Jesse.
The pillow in the back says "I read past my bedtime" and honestly, same
OMG I LOVE HOW YOU SPILLED THE WATER
I've never laughed that hard and felt so attacked at the same time
Omg this is SO me. The two main distractions for me are my phone (social media man, it's killer) and seeing other books that I want to read as well. The struggle is SO real
This is actually me. All the time. Every time I try to sit down to read I find something new to distract myself with.
I have 90% of these thoughts! Mainly me getting uncomfortable and choosing music. So relatable Jesse!
I get distracted from reading by my own existential crises :/
I lost it at "forget the bedsheets. Save the book!"
this video feels like jesse has been reading my mind while I was reading XD
It even happens to me when I'm reading a book I'm really enjoying xxxx
The Raven Boys! Thanks for including my favorite video of all time in your video!
Finally someone that understands! Every time I mention this to my friends they are like "How do you get distracted and start thinking of other things? That never happens to me!"
Literally me these past couple weeks
OMG!!!! THIS IS SOOOO ME!!!
This is so relatable lolol
I love these kind of videos, they are always so relatable 😄
Haha this has been me recently! I have been in a mini slump and every time I pick up a book, I get distracted, then I go look at my shelf and think about all the other books I want to read haha
I sometimes relate to this, but not that often. My phone and computer are off and away from me when I'm reading.
The phone thing is so true haha facial expression and everything!
this is my brain while I'm trying to read. I'm easily distracted
Me, because I’m a very easily distracted reader, and I have to say to myself, “Book. Read. NOW.”

Omg Jesse I can relate so bad. My attention span is so terrible that I've had to schedule times in my calendar for reading.
"I wonder what the sequel of this book is going to be like" that's so reall like bro I'm not even half the book and already thinking about the next one
when I get distracted I continue reading, just not actually reading and then I'm in the next chapter but have to go back because I've been blanking out
Yes. Talk about distraction. I end up re-reading one paragraph five times without noticing or absorbing any information from it.
"War and peace" got me like this😂😂😂
THIS IS SO ME **cries**
I love the fact that how you 'accidentally' spill the drink. XD
I love these skit videos so much keep them up it's awesome!!!
This is so so relatable.
Sometimes? Yeah, this happens to me almost every time I'm gonna read
This is me almost every time I try to read a book.
I love these skits, they are so creative and different! Good job! :)
I left my husband and son in the other room to come read with no distractions, and now I'm watching a video about being a distracted reader. Jesse always brings the truth with these videos!
This is ligit me whenever I’m in a book slump
this is so me, especially when I'm thinking about what I am going to eat
"Everyone knows I am terrified to talk on the phone " This is me
this video was so relatable for me because i have ADD so i get distracted very easily while reading
I love these videos so much! They are so creative and fun to watch! I loved your old videos too, but you seem so happy when you film these they just really stand out!
My kindle is open next to me right now 😂😂😂 so glad I'm not the only one who gets distracted
"Forget the bedsheets, save the book!!" I did this when I spilt o.j. all over my hardcover copy of Landline - Rainbow Rowell 😂
THIS IS SO REAL
I can literally read while a group of people are talking and be invested no joke I don’t get distracted easily when I’m reading a good book for example the hole miss peregrine series 🙂 I love those books so much !
That music thing is so me. And I am currently distracted by a video about being a distracted reader
I read the same sentence over and over when I'm distracted too.
Aaahhhhh this is so me! I justify distracting myself by binge watching booktubers, I mean... it's ABOUT reading right? That's ok right???
THIS IS SO ACCURATE OH MY GOD
This is the description of my entire reader life😂😂
I am with you in this Jesse... Gosh! I got distracted so easily while reading when I saw a video of yours titled Distracted Reader... ;)
SO TRUE I blame social media for my short attention span
I can be reading and getting really into it and think nothing can distract me but then someone texts me and I start looking at every form of social media I use then 2 hours later I go read again and the cycle continues :)
Yup. That’s me for sure!
The natural light vs artificial light always gets me 😂
This is me, whenever I try to read during a reading slump
