    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Kendall Jenner publicly post her "to read" list on her insta after people got interested in the photos she had that had books in them? I can understand the discomfort if other people made a "Kendall read these books" list on their own and critiqued them, but when you post a list of books you recommend for to share publicly to interested people on instagram it comes off as such a weird thing to complain about. You put the list expecting people will read the books and assumingly knowing they will have differing opinions because everyone has different tastes. The video wasn't critiquing her taste in books, it was simply critiquing the books themselves, which is bound to happen. Would she be saying the same thing if Jack loved every single book?

Books, like any piece of art, are so subjective, so I really don't get her complaining about it. If someone, in this case a stranger on the internet, would dislike or even hate one of my favorites, I wouldn't take it as an insult aimed at me because they don't know me at all. They're talking about the media, not me.

      To be the devil's advocate here, the video title for the Kendall Jenner book recommendations is "I read every book Kendall Jenner has recommended on Instagram and her taste is... questionable," which is a clear judgment on her personal taste. I'm not saying Jack was wrong not to like the books or make these kinds of videos (I, like many others, love them), but Kendall is not entirely wrong in her remark either.

      It's crazy to think about this with any other profession. Like, imagine following a chef home and demanding that he cook you another meal because that's his job and you've paid to go to their restaurant so that means that they should expect to cook at a moment's notice. A celebrity being an entertainer or model doesn't mean they can't read a book in a park without any privacy. Yes it's a side effect, and i don't necessarily pity her, but to act like we're entitled to stalk her when she leaves her house and she has no right to complain at all is just a weird mentality to have and to try and justify. Not that you specifically are doing the stalking or are advocating for it, but saying someone can't complain about not having privacy because of their occupation is weird to me.

    Kendall Jenner only wanted to stir the pot and she should be the one to keep her nose out of this channel.
    Jack is not bothering anyone by sharing his opinion about the books that celebrities read, in fact this section brings us closer to the artists' work such as the Taylor Swift videos. It gives depth to what celebrities have in mind, catches their attention and is their philosophy in life.
    Also Jack is being honest and is okay if he doesn't like the same books as her.
    Plus, if Kendall is super concerned maybe we should all just keep our hands away even from writing negative reviews about the books she likes (although we didn't) even from Goodreads because poor her, her taste in books is being questioned by a bunch of random strangers on the internet (/sarcasm).

      Not only are you replying to me but also to a lot of viewers who don't agree with you. Either you're seeking for some attention that, besides this reply, I refuse to give you or you're a very young person who needs to understand that a lot of people will not agree with the Kardashians and we have all the right in the world, including Jack, to have an opinion about their questionable taste in books.
      If Kendall thinks that her book choices are "personal to her" then she should have never made them public in the first place. She could have kept a personal reading journal instead.

      @@RebeDrawsStuff I'm allowed to express my opinions to you and everybody else. You posted a comment publically on a public video, so by your own logic, you are seeking attention and shouldn't be so upset when someone disagrees with you. I also never said in any of my comments that nobody is allowed to disagree or dislike the Kardashians. I just find it strange that people are twisting one small sentence she said about her taste being personal to her and not for anybody but her to make it seem like she's personally attacking everybody who doesn't like the books she likes. I just think you misunderstood what she said and hold a different point of view than you do, and ironically, you're doing exactly what you accuse Kendall of doing. Kinda funny

      @@3vivk the only problem we've got with kendall is the way she doesn't want to be judged for something she put up on social media for millions of people to see and then expected those millions of people to mind their own business when that clearly wouldn't happen when you're sharing your life with so many people...

      @@idknanmolla1710 that's fair, but people are acting like she's done a horrendous horrible thing. Sure, she was being defensive. If I were to post publically my favorite books and someone made a post saying "____'s taste is bad" I can't say I wouldn't be just as upset by it, even though I invited criticism for posting it publicly. I think that's normal. And Jack laughed about it in the beginning and end of his video, so I don't think he's offended. So I just find it strange that so many people are super fixated on this one thing she said as if she's a monster for it.
      IMO there are so many ligitimate things we could criticize the Kardashian/Jenners for. Like their exploitation of cheep labor, cultural appropriation, and stealing from smaller creators. I feel like making every single thing they say and do a huge deal diminishes the fair criticism they get on the important stuff. If me making a meme makes thousands of people hate and say horrible things about me why would I listen when something supposedly actually bad happens? They both elicit the exact same response. I don't think we can blame them for being out of touch when we make every little thing such a big deal.
