I love how inclusive Jesse is :”3 ‘cause everyone he’s like “oh, tell what do you guys think about this book” or “did you like it?” Etc. And it’s just so cute because he makes me feel part of it, even if I will never read those books, it makes me happy ^-^ 🖤✨
i also read to paradise. almost wanted to dnf it because of the heavy usage of slurs in book 1 but i powered through. honestly i love book 1 and 3, book 1 wasn’t really a unique story/concept but i was invested. book 2 dragged on a little bit but i love the topics that they discussed. book 3 was the most interesting, hard and confusing part. there’s just so much things to talk about but i loved it. all of the books connect through similar themes/topics in each story. it’s not a book that i really love or recommend but it got me thinking about various discussions. i didn’t love the repeating names tho and u shouldn’t really compare it to her previous works.
Yeah I totally agree because I also ALMOST dnfed. I had to force myself to finish the rest of the 720 pages and although some parts were really good, it's just okay. I gave it a 4 (rounded up from a 3.8) and I do like the vaster scope from A Little Life (which I absolutely adored and is my favorite book of all time) but books 1 and 2 were eh, just simply alright. Book 3 was the best one, but overall the book could've been cut down. But the writing is absolutely beautiful and amazing, and some of the storylines were crafted really well. Hanya's writing was the main factor I gave it a 4, it's just something that never fails to amaze me and make me feel every emotion possible. (To anyone who wants to read Hanya's writing, this one. Read this one. Do not start with A Little Life. And if you do want to read that book, look up the tw's and prepare yourself. I'd say it's worth it, but not if you aren't in the right headspace.)
@@genevieveking5078 totally understandable! It's definitely not for everyone, but I do recommend looking up the trigger warnings for The People In The Tree's!
It needs to be said: Jesse, your editing got SO good!!! The ✨aesthetic✨ is so gorgeous! I love it! Your content always been cool and fun, but men, your editing took it to the next level
I felt underwhelmed by daisy jones and the six and boy o boy the joy your vlogs bring to my life... I literally woke up from a nightmare and this just makes me feel so calm and a little life is one of my fav books of all time so I'll be reading it for sure but I'm waiting for the price to go down hehe
I am reading Descendant of a Crane by Joan He. And I am feeling that same way. It is just not completely doing it for me, but for some reason I am waiting for it to get better 🤣 I don't want to DNF either
I think you should do the bookstore puzzle, even though it has more pieces, I think it will be easier to do because of the art style. I have been doing a lot of puzzles recently and listening to audiobooks and I love it, so thinking about what puzzle to do next is becoming a skill lol
Reading vlog!!! Thank you for making alot of content. Your channel really helps me out When I am in a dark place. As a puzzle girl book store puzzle! Have not read that book sadly only have energi to read school stuff.
My first read of the year was a crime thriller called The Chestnut man. While I wasn't really underwhelmed by it, honesty Crime fiction is not a genre I reach for a lot, it was difficult to get through. I nearly DNF'd it halfway through, but it really picked up near the end and there was a side plot and character that had me really invested and I pushed through to see how that part concluded.
This was so fun! I like the blooming flower puzzle. It’s so pretty and unique. I read the Cruel Prince trilogy recently and was very underwhelmed by it.
A book I was underwhelmed by or expected something different from was The midnight library, by Nick Shadow. It’s 3 short stories that at first I thought were connected, but they’re not. The first one was gripping, horrifying and I wanted more. Then the other 2 seemed cut short.
I have not read to paradise but I read a little life and hated it lol. Her writing is lovely but it is so so overwritten and it could have been cut down for sure! Why are your bookshelf organisations are always the best thing?! Such beautiful footage and editing. Different book again, but by one third I wanted to dnf that book as well (but was doing a buddy read). I also felt a bit iffy about the descriptions of Black people and Black culture in a little life... and even about LGBTQIA+ characters in general? You tap in the puzzle pieces with such tenderness it's kinda adorable. I have never seen someone do a puzzle like that (to be fair I have only seen kids do puzzles)
I feel you on underwhelming books. I read Bone Crier’s Moon in January for my book club and it left me so disappointed. It was everything I love in books on paper, but it wasn’t executed well in my opinion. So many frustrated notes were taken 😭🙈
Loved seeing this vid! I really wanna read this book at some point (one of my most anticipated reads for the year); loved “A Little Life”, didn’t like “The People in the Trees”; and the concept sounds really cool, can’t wait! Do the book store puzzle!
Blooming Books puzzle is so cool! But, Bookstore puzzle!!! I love reading while playing Jesse's Vlog! It's my favorite time ♪ Thanks for the great videos, Jesse!
i had the same problem, Last month I read "Kind of a Big Deal" by Shannon Hale I wanted to dnf it so bad but I had 100 pages left and I thought I saw some potential but I just didn't like the ending and it wasn't a cohesive story overall. The stories she gets put into was the part I loved but I feel like that was the only parts I really loved about the book.
I loveeee Jesseee!!!! Hes so hilarious and i dont even think he's tryinggg 🥺🥺 when he got excited and then asked himself if he's okay LMAO 💛 PROTECT JESSE!!!
this one was a big letdown for me after loving her first 2 books. i just didnt get the 3 different stories as 1 novel. it didnt make sense as a whole book and shouldn't have been pitched a novel imo
LMAO this is a mOOD. but I would say a good call is look up the trigger warnings for A Little Life, it's really really emotional and touches on dark subjects that are hard to handle and definitely not for the faint of heart. If you do read it, I hope you enjoy it :3
I was recently underwhelmed by The Box In The Woods, because I really enjoyed the first two books in the Truly Devious series and this one was disappointing.
The book I completely was overwhelmed by was city of bones. I read over half the book and there were some plot twists I wasn't suprise by and I only thing else happening was jace and clary snapping each other I DNFed it
The trust Fall 🤣 What was that song in the beginning btww loved it 🌸 And well u should definitely go for the blooming books puzzle ✨ Love and power to a j from a j 🌻
I've had similiar feeling about The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah that I read recently, also wanted to dnf it but made myself get to the end, and I was really disappointed by it cause I had big expectations for it
You should do the blooming books one! I also now know for sure you don't have pets. There's no way I could leave a puzzle on a coffee table for months without it being destroyed by the cats! lol! I have been struggling for months to read Witches Steeped in Gold. I really wanted to like it but I don't. I'm about 100 pages in. I should just DNF it, but...I don't want to. I have been reading other books that I know I'll like hoping I'll have enough energy to get back to it. Maybe soon. We'll see. I just find myself going, I know what all these words mean, but they don't make sense. I feel like you're supposed to know the magic system going in as there are no good explanations and I feel like I'm missing a ton going on because of it.
I have read it, and oh boy I have opinions on it... The only redeeming quality is the writing. And that's where the positives ends because there's literally nothing more to it. If I haven't picked up the audio halfway through, this would have been the first book I DNFed EVER! (Yes, I've never DNFed a book because I'm always scared that it just might get better... Also OCD about unfinished things lol).
I DNFed The Unspoken Name by A.K. Larkwood. One of those stories where the mc knows nothing about the outside world and then with a bit of training becomes a skilled assassin. Also the synopsis says nothing about this but apparently the mc is a grey humanoid thingy with tusks? No idea why but I did not enjoy it at all
I'm feeling the same way about Plain Bad Heroines at the moment. Something about that book just is not clicking with me but the writing is so beautiful, I cannot bare to dnf it! 2022 in general has just not been great for me so far in terms of reading. :/
If it helps about your teeth I had a cavity filled two days ago and it was a possible thing that I might have to have a root canal... dentist said if I ended up needing one they would just do it in the middle of me getting it filled and I guess tell me afterwards??
Honestly, if I can't find the book I went inside to buy I just leave and then order it online because I'm always too scared to ask for help and I'm scared that I'm annoying the person even though it's kind of their job to help me.
I love how inclusive Jesse is :”3 ‘cause everyone he’s like “oh, tell what do you guys think about this book” or “did you like it?” Etc. And it’s just so cute because he makes me feel part of it, even if I will never read those books, it makes me happy ^-^ 🖤✨

i’ve read ‘a little life’ last year, recently finished ‘to paradise’ and i’m gonna read ‘the people in the trees’ this month 💀
@@adonissabinorio2639 oh bestie- I'll pray for you 😩💞 I haven't read the people in the trees yet, but IM SO SCARED TO START.
I might read The People In The Trees. A Little Life sounds too dark and sad. I have a limit with how dark I am willing to go with books.

The puzzle with blooming books is prettier to me, but I also love the bookstore one.

We are SO SO SO SO SOOOO close to 400k subs love you Jessie been here for….. too long….
id love a tour of your space. it looks cute.
Blooming Bookstore puzzle next! An underwhelming book I read recently was The Bone Witch.
I love a good bookshelf organizing. It can be so overwhelming to do tho

A bike desk totally multitasking so cool
You should do the blooming bookstore puzzle
11:31 I love how you edited this part❤📚
Your editing skills are really fun! Like what you did with the bookshelf.
Ok before anything else I just wanna acknowledge how much I loved how you edited this video!!
I love the 2010s realness your aesthetic serves.
The book title puns make me unreasonably happy haha😂
Another great video! Can't wait for more to come 🙂
Loved seeing this vid! I really wanna read this book at some point (one of my most anticipated reads for the year); loved “A Little Life”, didn’t like “The People in the Trees”; and the concept sounds really cool, can’t wait! Do the book store puzzle!
I just started listening to, To Paradise. This is my first time reading from this author so I'm interested to see how this book works for me.
Blooming Books puzzle is so cool! But, Bookstore puzzle!!!
I love reading while playing Jesse's Vlog! It's my favorite time ♪
Thanks for the great videos, Jesse!
Jesse, your editing is incredible 👌🏻👌🏻💡💡 I have been loving your latest videos

The cluttered and messy look on your shelves work. I personally really liked it.
Thanks for another great vid Jesse!!
Blooming book puzzle! 📚🌼💕
Please do the bookstore puzzle!! 😍
You're so close to 400k. Congratulations 🥳
The trust exercise part took me out 😂 one vote for the bookstore puzzle

We have the same cover for More Happy Then Not in Russia
Love how cozy and calming this reading vlog was! I was just wondering where you got the puzzles from ? 😊😊
I may not have read A Little Life, but I got it because I like books that emotionally devastate me in a series of gut punches.
OMG I'm reading "A Little Life" right now for my book club, and I love it but it's a sad book.
Blooming books puzzle👍
Gee wiz bless you Jesse!!! That was a sneeze and a half!!!!
I loveeee Jesseee!!!! Hes so hilarious and i dont even think he's tryinggg 🥺🥺 when he got excited and then asked himself if he's okay LMAO 💛 PROTECT JESSE!!!

I will stand by the fact that more happy than not is still the best adam silvera.
Do the blooming book puzzle!
this one was a big letdown for me after loving her first 2 books. i just didnt get the 3 different stories as 1 novel. it didnt make sense as a whole book and shouldn't have been pitched a novel imo
I really was underwhelmed by Ruin and Rising cause everyone told me it was the best book in the shadow and bone series but I don’t really think so ….
Bookstore puzzle! I might pick uo 'To Paradise' as audio book ...
PS: loooove your reading vlogs!!!
The book store puzzle.
I’ve had a little life on my tbr but I cry when my favourite character stubs their toe so idk if it’s a good idea 🤣🤣
LMAO this is a mOOD. but I would say a good call is look up the trigger warnings for A Little Life, it's really really emotional and touches on dark subjects that are hard to handle and definitely not for the faint of heart. If you do read it, I hope you enjoy it :3
I was recently underwhelmed by The Box In The Woods, because I really enjoyed the first two books in the Truly Devious series and this one was disappointing.
I am always so impressed with your editing skills :D
Blooming books!
Pro tip, always take Tylenol before the dentist.
0:23 JESSE CANYOU NOT LMAO IM EATING BREAKFAST
The book I completely was overwhelmed by was city of bones. I read over half the book and there were some plot twists I wasn't suprise by and I only thing else happening was jace and clary snapping each other

Where are your bookshelves from? I love them!! I've been trying to find something exactly like them, but having trouble.
