Thanks for all your support!
Idea: Go to the bookstore once a month and pick one book based on cover and title alone, read it that month.
Or a library could work. In case you end up disliking the book :)
sarah bakri very true!
I think I might try that sometime. Thx😉
That's literally what I do every time I get a new book 😂
Basically how I buy my books lol. Most of the books I love aren't that popular so I hadn't heard much about them when I read them
“Read your friends favourite books.”
But non of my friends read! 😞
Zoe Bourne ahhh same here...the struggle is real😭
My best friend does read but I usually hate the books she loves😂
I tried to get one of my friends to read, but she takes a year to finish a book.... I guess it’s something.
Maybe read a booktuber’s favorite book?
i read that as "none of my friends are real" and was like honestly same
THIS HOODIE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL ON YOU🌊💞I MEAN JESSE AND BLUE 😂😉
I read aloud sometimes, or put on different voices for the characters. But that is only when I'm alone and know there is no one to question what I am doing.
Pick a book blindly at a bookstore. This works better with a friend - though be careful if they're feeling sadistic on that day, you never know which area they'll lead you to. But it's fun ;)
I dont have any friends that read ITS SO FRUSTRATING. I would LOVE to do that xmas exchange where u give each other ur fav book BUT NO *sigh. At least theres booktube!
freeleigh I'll be your friend just becoz of that profile pic😊
Something I like to do to "spice up my reading life" is to buy books one at a time. I frequently get bored seeing a stack of books on my shelf so going to the bookstore directly after I finish reading a book helps to keep me excited about finding new things.
When I went to the library and i told my friend that she could pick whatever book she likes and I'll read't and holy moly i loved that book 😊
Library* :)
Sophie Gómez exactly 😊thanks
That’s a great idea!
What was the book?
4Finnessa into the water
When you're first comment and you want to say something clever but instead you just be like: hi...
KSchell13 lol so true
Hi there👋
Genre word counter 😂😂❤️❤️
As to what I do to spice up my reading life: I read a lot of friend recommended books and then fangirl with them about it. Also once in a while I love to try new genres and new writers.
Haha ;) Yes same! :)
I'm actually doing one of your suggestions and am excited about it. I chose a book because the title seemed interesting to me and the spine and cover gave nothing about the story away. It's called "The Iron Ring" by Lloyd Alexander. All I know is there is a boy, girl, horse, monkey, and bird in it.
I read up to 3 books at the same time to spice up my reading life. Like I am reading Harry Potter 5 and Magnus Chase 3 and Wandmaker 1 at the same time.
SHRELP YES i do that too! Usually its a new release, an old favorite (or 2), and a classic 😁
SHRELP
Wow, that's too complicated for me..... I like to focus my full attention on one book. But well done for doing that!
Thank you Elvie for the compliment!
That's a great idea!
SHRELP :-)
What I like to do is switching languages of the books I read. I live in Czech republic, but it takes some time for books to be translated to czech, so I pick the new ones as soon as they are released, but I also read some in my language. And it’s a whole new experience, when you read in different languages!
agreed plus you can read books from authors whose books do not get translated and they always offer something new
so true. i loved lunar chronicles and it was interesting to read because of random digital text, comms and scribblings on walls were in appropriate fonts.
I was actually watching one of your videos when I got a notification that you just uploaded how nice
"Read outside your comfort zone"
*50 shades of gray whispering in the bg*: "he-"
NOPE
I do the reading a book without knowing anything about it all the time. I finished ready player one on Friday and I didn't even look for the blurb. I didn't even realise it had one until I finished the book and started looking in the front of it for the publication date! XD
Matt Sandell it's Napstablook from Undertale
I love reading my friends' favorite books. It helped me find an amazing series in a genre i normally dont like
This is literally what I needed right now trying to get through a HUGE book 😭💖 YAS JESSE ILYSM
Love books told in verse! Yaaaaay!
Jay G Nice!
I love it when books have a different element about them. That's what makes the Illuminae Files so great!
I once saw a paragraph from the book The History of Love by Nicole Krauss online. I loved it so much that I bought the book without knowing anything about it and it is now my favourite book ♥️ Doing things like that can be so much more fun than reading a book you already know the plot of
To spice things up, I found the 3rd book in the Shatter Me Series, Ignite Me, on sale. Without thinking I bought it, couldn’t remember anything about it and I listened to the audiobook for book 1&2 in just a week. Best thing I have ever done in my reading life is jump into a series without hesitation... Thank you Jesse for giving us more options!😊❤️
Well going back to older books you loved is sometimes a perfect way to change a reading routine
I totally enjoyed the Illuminae Files when I first started the series and like, the format was definitely one of the main reasons that made me love it. Its unique take on storytelling was just so much fun
One of the things that I do to spice up my reading life is I request for a book every year on Christmas party, because we have secret santas and we are able to put up our wishlist on the things we would like. Mostly, my secret santas are the ones who don't usually read books during their spare time.
On the wishlist, it usually goes like this:
"A book of your choice (must be a fiction novel written in English; not from a series)."
There are times that I got even more specific, and there are also times that they give me books that come from a series--and some aren't even the first book of the series (which is very troublesome because I have to go and look for the first book/s)! But I enjoy it nonetheless. It creates diversity in my "mini library" here at home. 😌
Omg the editing is everything 😂😂😂
There was a book on the school shelf called Carlos Is Gonna Get It. The cover just had the name, black paper dolls, and doll heads. Ended up being a great book, especially reccomended for angsty adolesince like me.
books yes books
listen to songs that remind you of what's going on in the story to help set the mood. for example, video game soundtracks while reading high fantasy, or piano music in a contemporary (especially a super sad one)
A cool book I recently read with a different format was the princess saves herself in this on by Amanda Lovelace. This was beautifully written and was told completely in poems. I don't normally read poems but this was beautiful and very page-turny.
I love when you do this kind of videos! They’re so light, funny and useful! Thanks, Jesse :), definitely I’m using these tips
Fluffy: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. So much fluff and the book will just make ya smile.
Fruit: Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare. Because I have to include a Clare book and the scene where Mark asks for a plate of strawberries is precious.
Eyeball: The Retribution of Mara Dyer. There's this really creepy and frankly disgusting scene I'm thinking of and you'll 1000% know what I'm talking about if you read it.
Camera: Weird association, I know, but Caraval by Stephanie Garber. It is a favorite of mine and I would love to take a picture of the beautiful setting.
String: Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco. A STRING of murders. Get it?? Haha.
Healy Gier I know which scene you're talking about with Mara Dyer but honestly the whole book was filled with grotesque and creepy scenes which I think is why I enjoyed it the least out of the trilogy. And the fact that I didn't understand why anything was happening half the time.
I'm tempted to make a TBR based in the points you mentioned in the video.
I'm looking forward to reading books from my friend's favorite authors.
I relate to this on so many different levels
I love your channel
Last year I did the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge and dannnnng I read way out of my comfort zone and loved it!
Even if readers don’t do the whole challenge just looking over the prompts and going yes! I’m gonna read something that fills this cause I can.
For me it was also a great way to record and organise my reading so I did finish the challenge - I’m not doing it this year cause i have wayyyy too much on my plate - rather I’m reading series that have been on my bookcase for waaaaaay too long or really take my interest (series and standalones) I’m also doing one readathon every two months to shake it up!
that genre word counter made me laugh so hard. :D
I like to do reading challenges! They help me read books that I wouldn't have chosen normally in order to fit the challenges. I've found some books I've really enjoyed that way that I know I never would have picked up otherwise.
I started reading in verse...Loved the books Solo by Kwame Alexander and Saving Red by Sonya Sones.
Thank you so much! I always stick to contemporary and fantasy as well, but I’m trying to get into more classics and maybe some nonfiction? This is super duper helpful!
I always read books I know nothing about! I love it!
Watching your videos is my spice.
Thanks Jesse
So helpful
I like to go to garage sales or thrift stores and pick up old books that have once been loved, I think that's an interesting way to spice up your reading life.
i started reading some philosophical classics and it is more enjoyable than i thought it would be!
You should definitely check out the series Story Thieves. Once you really get into it, it gets crazy. I still haven't read the 4th book yet, but it's written as a choose your own adventure story. It's pretty wild
That hair flip in the beginning though 😂
I once read a book told through post it notes left on a fridge. It was really interesting to read
I love your shirt...
ALSO, I personally like to go to a bookstore and I have to buy and read the first book I touch. So I basically only know what’s on the spine of the book. It’s quite fun because I always try and pick a title or author I know nothing about. This way I can’t judge the book by it’s cover either because I can barely see it :)
That was INTENSE.
I thought I would hate the Young Elites series because I didn't like how the covers looked, but then I randomly decided to give them a try and I actually really liked them!
This also happened to me for The Hunger Games. I hated the concept of the book but then my friend finally pushed me to read them and they quickly because apart one of my all time favorite series!
I really liked the concept of the video! You had some awesome ideas and now I'm really tempted to (finally) buy Illuminae and some graphic novels and I also want to go into books without knowing a lot about them more often because I hate when the description gives so much away that you can guess pretty much the whole plot...
You are my favourite youtuber! Your videos always brighten my day!
Thanks for the ideas! I really want to start going out of my comfort zone and trying different genre books then ones I usually read. Great video. ❤
Your hair when you do the woosshh! Is the reason I pressed like
so INTENSESESESESEEEESE
I really do love word counters
I need this! I'm currently in my worst reading slump ever! 2 months and 3 weeks! 😁
You should read Thornhill by Pam Smy. It’s a middle grade story told from 2 perspectives; one through diary entries and one through illustrations. I read it in about 3 hours and loved it!
Join a book club! This usually makes you hit like half of your points at once, but it has the added benefit of having a deadline and comes with built in people to talk about the book with.
Sometimes i go go my local library and ask someone random to pick a book out for me. Ive read so much great stuff this way!
Something I do to spice up my reading life is reading indifferent languages, my mother language is Dutch but I read mostly Englisch so a dutch book can be nice at moments.
I love your energy in this video!
Pause right at the beginning 😂😂 Classic Jesse
He looks like an American Phil Lester and i love it so much
DUDE I LOVED THIS
The first book I read without knowing anything about was Wold Blue Wonder by Carlie Sorosiak. I wish I'd had a warning that I would cry but at the same time I'm glad I didn't.
I let my mom choose my books sometimes. She knows what I like to read and is usually a good judge of if I'd like the book or not.
I watch your videos to stay on reading 💕
This was really relatable and helpful so thanks!!💕🙌🏻✨
I'm surprised that you didn't say that we should read Miss Peregrine's home for Peculiar Children
When I’m trying to find books it depends on how many fun ones I can find by thinking “how can this story go in a very exiting direction” or “does this have a chance of being boring” a mood reader is in the house.
Watching this on my birthday.
I don't know if you've read anything by Ellen Hopkins but her writing style is pretty unique she's always a good read in my opinion
THAT WAS INTENSE JESSE. THANKS FOR THE HELPFUL IDEAS ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Hey I love reading
I’m always in love with your videos 💕💕love you
That was really good advice, I'm going to try to spice up my reading life😄😊👍🏻
I Love this vedieo it's creative🌸
Love your shirt
YAYYY JESSE POSTED
I was thinking I'd just sprinkle *pepper* all over my books... glad I watched this first.
I NEEDED THIS IN MY LIFE THANK YOU.
So can we call you spicythereader now?
GENRE WORD COUNTER 😂😂😂
There's been a few times when I've been at a book store with a friend and instead of me picking out a book I let them pick it out for me.
I have two difficult tests tomorrow yet here I am. I'm going to go study now, promise
the genre counter tho.
Seriously thought your hair was spiked for a second and was like, "Whoa, someone is spicing more than his reading life!"
Yeah, I agree with reading something without knowing anything about it. I saw someone reading hollow city and just off the title and cover I thought it was a dystopian.
Try reading "House of Leaves" and the series "The Familiar" by Mark Z. Danielewski and the book The Mystery.Doc by Matthew Macintosh
1.Read a book with an interesting format.(Books that are told through texts, pictures, comics, messages)
2.Start reading books from new genres.
3.Read books you know nothing about.
4.Read your friends' favourite books.
5.Read books you think you won't like.
Notification squad ❤️❤️
1:43 you know that mug was empty😂
I tend to buy a few random books if I can't find something in my own TBR pile. I work in a bookshop :P
This was super helpful! I let (ha! More like "forced") about 3 of my friends read this really good book I loved and now we fangirl together at lunch. And one of them has an older sister who saw them reading the said book and now the older sister and I are friends because she wanted to borrow the book from me as well XD Thanks Jesse! Hehe
Books!!!!! 😂
If you like books in different formats, you should read '13 minutes' by Sarah Pinborough. Brilliant book with different formats such as text messages and reports scattered throughout.
