I just found your channel today and subscribed! Thanks for the recommendations!
I love the way your channel has changed and evolved. Your videos that have been focused on food, family, books, and mental clarity has genuinely helped me tremendously during quarantine.
Awww thank you, Heba! I'm glad we're growing together.
Yes mine too! You’ve really guided me through thus pandemic to feel happy and sane

here's some help, maybe? btw ur welcome ☺
I really love your book-related content! I've always really admired your diverse taste. You've inspired me to work on reading more in 2021 😅📚
I just read a book called my dark Vanessa. It's about a child that has a relationship with her teacher and didn't realize it was sexual assault. It is a very tough book to read but I recommend it.
I want to recommend the book “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” to everyone. This book had laughing and crying at the exact same time ❣️
Ah saaame! I can definitely see how the writing can be somewhat annoying for some people but as someone who’s withdrawn from the world as a result of depression and anxiety, I related so much to Eleanor and her inner monologue, no matter how unreasonable and cringy she may be.
Oh myyyy! I recommend this to everyone. EVERYONE. ❤
Oh my goodness, I just finished this book and absolutely loved it!! I'm not sure what to read next because I could not put that book down. Any other recommendations?
I got this on Kindle whilst it was on offer. Awaiting my new kindle to arrive so I can get stuck on. Super excited to read it as it’s been on my tbr for a while!
I read this book last year and just did not get what was amazing about it, but seeing your comments about the relatable themes of anxiety just helped me realise why it touched so many people
"Cinder" is such a great book. It's a furturistic version of Cinderella 💃
hey jenn! have u read the Becoming memoir by Michelle Obama? i just finished, it´s fantastic. also super random rec but if you´re looking for fun and light reads i reaaally recomend the Heartstopper graphic novels by Alice Oseman! love ur content :)
I have read Becoming! UGH, it totally made me fall in love with Michelle. Also I'll have to check out Heartstopper. Thanks for the rec!
I just finished reading “the Silent patient” in two days.. I couldn’t put it down..
It's absolutely G R I P P I N G !
i read this while waiting for a connecting flight and almost missed the flight because i didn’t realize they had changed the gate!
I literally had my mouth open for legit 5 mins with that twist.
Stayed up til 5AM to finish the book! 😂
I have ordered it today, will be delivered on 26 December l guess,so excited to read🤩
yes yes yes everyone should watch the "Social Dilemma" on Netflix
“I Love Yous Are for White People” by Lac Su is a good read, it’s about being an immigrant and growing up with clashing cultures.
Jenn literally has the best book recommendations, can’t wait to read these ✨
Another book video!😍 Thank you Jenn, you truly changed many lives and you even inspired me to start my own UA-cam channel!🤗
“The Best We Could Do” was my required reading for my English class~ love my professor for this!!!
I’m glad you said that about books It’s true young people don’t think it’s important to have an actual book in their hands. just like they don’t understand that receiving a card on your Birthday or a holiday is so much warmer.
That thumbnail though looks so chic and stylish ♡
Do you have a Goodreads Jenn? If not you should totally make one. I'll love to see all the books that you read in a month. 😊
I do have one! It's @imjennim. I keep it on the lowlow though. Hehe.
Hi Jenn!!! What are some of your favorite podcasts to listen to? Will you do a video on your podcast recommendations in the near future?
I read The Best We Could Do in a coffee shop and had to go into the bathroom to cry. So good!
Always love your books recommendations videos! Added them to my wishlist.
Recent book I love is Know My Name by Chanel Miller. It is heart wrenching story of Chanel as a sexual assault survivor in overcoming and surviving her life. I got so any insights on how we can reach out and help sexual assault survivors bcs the law and system might not be unforgiving.
Hi Jenn 👋
Not sure if you’ve dabbled in pan-African literature, but I’d highly recommend the following books:
1) My sister, the serial killer - by Oyinkan Braithwaite
2) The hairdresser of Harare - by Tendai Huchu
Easy, universally relatable, realistic fictional novels that are real page turners! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So happy I got to be a part of your November Book Discussion with The Best We Could Do and hear the amazing stories of everyone else! It's so important to get the Vietnamese perspective and like you said, how war affects future generations.
The silent patient is definitely a must read!! Finished it in 1 day- Love your book recommendations 💕
Hey Jenn - I love talking about books and other things I have read too! I look forward to this month's December pick and discussion :-)
I understand the cognitive dissonance with you promoting your book club and posting videos, but you shouldn't feel hypocritical with content like this! It makes sense to meet your intended audience where they'll consume your content. It would have been ironic, for example, if you wrote a book about why people should read more books and consume less television and internet content -- similar to how The Social Dilemma was presented on Netflix :)
Loving your book recs as always. Can't wait to check out Brave New World and Chaos!
i read the silent patient and it’s handsdown one of my favourite books!! just soooo good and easy to read!
I am American and didn’t really know much of the Vietnam War and that could be to so many different reasons and the first is being young and not caring about history BUT... if you haven’t watched it yet Jenn watch the Ken Burns Vietnam War Documentary. My husband was watching it and I couldn’t stop watching. Let me warn you and say it is SO LONG. Like 18 hours long but you learn so much about so many points of view in the war. Heavy watch but it really is a brilliant one. Thanks for all the recommendations!!! ❤️
i really wanna start a reading habit but whY is it so hard 😭
Where is your cardigan from? It's AMAZING!!!
Hope Macaulay :)
@@amyqi thank you!!
I added the info in my description box now. n_n
@@imjennim thank you!!!
Claim your “here within an hour” ticket right here
Im reading “small great things” now and honestly the first few chapters had me emotional!!! Not sure if u read it already😅 But im really looking forward to read new books now ahhh
You should check out a book called Number Games by Zachary K. Hubbard, super interesting!
hey Jenn!! would love to see how you organise your book collection along with some tips and tricks for organising in general 👀
I aspire to love books as much as Jenn does 💕
Another good read is "Before I Go To Sleep"! Probably my favourite book ever. It was a rollercoaster ride from start till end and the plot twists- oh my they were intense. The author writes it in a very captivating and easy-to-read manner and this was the only book that made me intentionally stay up to read. 10/10
May I ask a quick run down of the synopsis? Thankyou if you spare me some time ❤️
@@tranlenamphuong6192 Hi! It's about a woman called Christine who wakes up every morning with no memory of who she is. Through labeled pictures and the help of her husband, every day she pieces together her life and learns of the accident that made her this way. Trust me, best book ever.
i highly reccommend island of sea women by lisa see.
“Set on the Korean island of Jeju, The Island of Sea Women follows Mi-ja and Young-sook, two girls from very different backgrounds, as they begin working in the sea with their village’s all-female diving collective. Over many decades-through the Japanese colonialism of the 1930s and 1940s, World War II, the Korean War, and the era of cellphones and wet suits for the women divers-Mi-ja and Young-sook develop the closest of bonds. Nevertheless, their differences are impossible to ignore: Mi-ja is the daughter of a Japanese collaborator, forever marking her, and Young-sook was born into a long line of haenyeo and will inherit her mother’s position leading the divers. After hundreds of dives and years of friendship, forces outside their control will push their relationship to the breaking point.”
WOW! I'm downloading this book now!
If you like Pachinko, this is definitely great book - more tears though
I’m not a frequent user of Facebook or Instagram. Are there any other ways to join your bookclub?
I'm 100% here for being critical and questioning about the media we consume-keep it up! It makes my heart sing to hear you using your platform to have these conversations we don't otherwise really have a venue for. Bring on the self-aware influencers who are willing to talk candidly about it.
I trust your recommendations so much! I get so excited when you upload videos like this! It’s like going in a virtual bookstore hahahaha thank you so much for this 😊❤️
Thank you referencing immigrants/ immigrant parents,etc. My friends who escaped the hellish environment of Vietnam at the time- don’t know why that isn’t spoken about more. My parents are survivors of WW2 Japan bombing, and YES! my mother, it has scarred her and angered for life. Unfortunately I have inherited her temper and anger... Again, thank you for bringing this to your platform.
I have read silent patient and the story is just a roller coaster ride!!!!! Loved it
Also a video of your all time fave books!! The ones you can't live without would be an amazing content to look forward 🧡
Ohh i love this girl . She is my inspiration ❤❤😭😭
Always love your book recommendations!
Breaks my little bookworm heart that your book videos don't get as many views, but please don't ever stop making them! I've been following you for years and love to see your book picks and to hear your thoughts!
this came at such a great time ! i am trying to look for books on self-compassion, identity, gender and sexuality, and radical theory. does anyone have any book recs for these topics? + bonus points for bipoc, lgbt+ authors!
the courage to be disliked !
really good one i personally loved it :)
Yay! More book recommendations!!
The Silent Patient was one of my favorite reads this year! Your book videos inspired me to start my own booktube channel where I talk about books 📚 thank you for inspiring me to read again! Hopefully I can do the same for others
Pachinko by Min Jin Lee 😍 your recommendations are always amazing
Currently reading The Orphan Master's Son -- OMG i can't put it down!! During quarantine I found myself diving deep into rabbit holes online learning about North Korea and how secretive and isolated it is, and I am truly fascinated (and often horrified) to learn more about what goes on there. This book is a pullitzer prize winning novel based on very real phenomena in NK. I'm almost done with it and will probably end up re-reading it because it's that good!
I recently read the book "in order to live" by Yeonmi Park. She is telling her story of how she flew from North Korea. I could not put that book down.
Jenn, ❤️ I love your content. You have inspired me to actually start my own UA-cam channel. Thank you 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Such a cute colorful sweater!😍😍😍👌🏻
I thoroughly enjoyed this! And what you're wearing is gorgeous Jenn. This is a crisp video and I'm so in love with your background. Your book recommendations are mostly similar to my own. Silent Patient is a masterpiece!
Thanks Henry! N-n
I keep buying your book recommendations then not reading them lol. You should make a video on how you stay so motivated everyday to care for yourself and others
jenn u should write ur own book. i honestly think that your opinions are so true and so relatable. maybe write something that u want to spread to the world!!! i’d love to read it :)
I want to join your book club but I don’t use social media 😔 but I am still going to read some of your recommendations thank you!
Jenn💛 can you create a video showing us how you write your book reports?! I’ve been starting to do it for fun myself and would love to see how you set it up!
Hi Jen! When do you make time to read a book? Is it typically when you’re eating, or exercising? Trying to train my mind to stop saying I don’t have the time for them when really that’s just BS lol. What’s your secret?
luv u btw! ❤️
*jenn! Also-do you have a new code for BOTM for this month?? :( I really wanna sign up but the code expired! Thanks!
"Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo"!!!! It was also on BOTM. So good!
I loved that book so much that I read it twice back to back. LOL! Evelyn Hugo is my alter ego! T__T
7:29 "we think 2020 is crazy", the sixties were 60 years ago, so I think a better comparison will be when it's 2080
and the secrets of 2020 are accessible to the public ;) I firmly believe the world only gets more "chaotic" with the advancements of science and technology, parallel to more thirst for control and power
I love that you love books!!! I was so lucky to have mom who loved to read she made sure all of us kids went to library at least twice a month. I still love libraries and book stores. Have a fabulous week! Cute sweater!!! ❤️
Saving up for a Kindle! Jenn is such a reading inspiration 👏
Jenn thanks for recommending the Social Dilemma, watched it right after you mentioned it. A great watch to keep you thinking and open your mind. Just want to say the opening gave me lots of anxiety though, talk about gloom and doom! But once I was in it, I couldn’t stop watching, just wish it was longer so I could have heard more about every one of the interviewees’ have to say. Great to see there is something being done about the negative impact social media is creating.
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
Book by Lori Gottlieb
It is a memoir where Gottlieb, a therapist, portrays a difficult time in her professional and personal life
my favorite book is "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" by Ocean Vuong. like "The Best We Could Do", it also touches on the intergenerational effects of the Vietnam war and the yearning for connection that affects immigrants. it's so beautifully written :')
this is the only video where i will actually read the books recommended cuz jenn's book taste is exquisite
can we talk about how the thumbnail looks like a vogue cover like wow
Omg thank you so much for recommending such interesting exciting books, youtubers always recommend self-care and “table” books that only have a pretty cover. As a book worm, I am thrilled and totally asking for all of these for Christmas
I listened to The Silent Patient last year & it was intense, loved it! It’d make a great movie I think, which is funny bc the author typically writes movies
Jenn, please do a winter look book! I love your style! 😍
Amazing video. Sister. Keep it up. Really appreciate your hardwork.
How are you? Hope all well 😄.
I❤️ your UA-cam channel.
U are amazing.
Stay safe 🙏.
JENNN I just came back to recommend this assigned book im currently reading called the color purple by Alice Walker. It dives into African American history and is a really powerful and raw book with great character development and I think you'll really enjoy it! the format is very different because its written in the form of letters to god and it really showcases her relationship with god as her only way out of the difficult life she has lived. it is definitely a pretty deep book but its one of the only assigned books that have really opened my eyes and actually got me interested
First things first
I need to read all of the books
Hey Jen - I’d be curious to hear how you deal with the “level of hypocrisy” that you describe midway through this video :) One could argue that almost all of us operate on a level of cognitive dissonance, maybe taking jobs that don’t align with our values or other common choices, and it would be really interesting to hear how you reconcile eggie’s price range/material production with the idea of environmental friendliness and making an effort to not entertain ourselves with ephemeral things.
Does Book of the Month of kindle options?
I can't deal how smart and eloquent this girl is. You can see the influence of heavy reading... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Absolutely loved The Silent Patient!
Will add the others to my ever-growing (😩) TBR list...
I love your book recs, Jenn! The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton was one of my favorites this year. I would recommend "The Travelling Cat Chronicles" by Hiro Arikawa
Recently I’ve been reading a book called “Many Lives Many Masters” The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist. It’s mind blowing and I would highly recommend it.
Jenn, I highly recommend “The Other Side of the Couch: A Psychiatrist Solves His Most Unusual Case”. It was previously titled, “The Naked Lady Who Stood on Her Head”. It’s so interesting to get a behind the scenes look at a psychologist’s experience during therapy and what his thoughts and feelings were throughout. Plus the ways he helps his patients. Fascinating book if you love psychology and mental health.
I’m reading Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and I literally can’t put it down! Really good distortion/thriller novel.
I’ve been really into historical war fiction so I’d recommend The Nightingale, All the Ways We Said Goodbye, and The Alice Network
Ohh more book recommendations! Thank you!! After watching it on Netflix and loving it, I decided to give Queen's gambit a read. I was not disappointed!
Jenn, I love how your eyes light up when you talk about books. And I can tell in the second half of the video that you were able to unwind a bit and venture a little more off memorized or prepared material (I get it, it was sponsored content). Brave New World is one of my favorites! I'm reading The Genius and the Goddess by Huxley right now. It's such a tough read. He's such a Renaissance man sprinkling references to other subjects left and right. I hope to get as good as you are with book analysis and note taking during this read!
Wow this is the first I’ve watched one of your videos since this channel was “Clothes Encounters“ and I’m falling in love with you all over again. 😭💖
yay!! I love jenn’s book recommendation videos, her videos made a big impact in my life as i formed into myself
Hi Jenn! Have a recommendation, Never leave me (Kazuo Ishiguro). It's a novel that a professor of Philosophy recommend me, and I loved it. You can read it like a novel or can go deep and question what really makes us humans.
Your books review videos are def my favourite ! Half of my bookshelf is your recommendations 🥰
Just saw the current Eggie collection and I’m in love 🥺💕💕💕💕💕
전 맨날 소설만 읽는데....! 이제 보니 논픽션책들도 재밌어보여요!! 담에 읽어봐야징ㅎㅎㅎ
오오ㅗㅇ
I recently purchased braving the wilderness by brene brown. I'm excited to finish reading it!
One thriller book that I enjoyed so so much was Night Film. I really recommend it ☺️
Love all of your recos, thank you for always keeping us on the lookout for awesome reads. One thing I wanted to point out is it'd be really great to see less Amazon links and more links from independent bookstores or Bookshop! Think more BIPOC owned shops could use more love (since Amazon already has enough money going their way). :)
3:38 Yes. Our world is also morphing into the world that Ray Bradburry depicted in Fahrenheit 451. Censorship is and will be a bigger issue in the future.
JENN I live for these videos!! I too am an avid reader, and I look forward to your book recommendations so much!!
