Love this! Very relatable. I'm glad KZbin put your video on my feed - even 5 years later.

You may have read Dolores Claiborne by now, but if you haven’t, you absolutely should. Incredibly moving story with a really different narrative style for him.

I hope you return one day. KZbin is like screaming into a storm, it's difficult to be heard, even as a commenter. Whatever you're doing now I hope your life is good for you.

I love Kings of the Wyld and have read it several times, yet somehow I didn't know there was a second book until a few weeks ago. Due to my absolute reverance for KotW, once I found out about Bloody Rose I had to read a few non-spoiler reviews before I decided to pick it up. I think I was worried that if Bloody Rose didn't measure up it would somehow tarnish its predecessor and leave me unsatisfied and disappointed. However, that was not the case at all. Event though the first quarter was a meandering, somewhat uneventful introduction of the band, the rest of the book more than made up for it. Poignant yet heartwarming, somber yet joyous, Bloody Rose is not Kings of the Wyld... Kings of the Wyld was a story about a band that gets back together for one last battle, Bloody Rose is about a family. Fantastic read. Glad you liked it as well. ❤

I've finally gotten a library card and am getting all my TBR that I don't already own from there instead of buying them, with the exception of new releases that the library doesn't have yet.

Me watching this while I already finished it

Borrow, borrow, borrow, support your local libraries!

I really enjoyed this. So poignant even 4 years later. Great video.

I love this video, Finally someone who is a social media said what needed to be said.

Awesome review!

I’m on my third (🤦🏽‍♀️😄) back-to-back re-read and re-listen of this series! The audiobook has a full cast of characters and it’s amazing! AIDAN is my favorite! If you haven’t already , you should also read the prequel novella “Memento”. I liked that one a lot, too! AIDAN is still being AIDAN, of course!😆

What’s the new Chanel ? :)

🖤

Looking forward to seeing you on your new channel and a new adventure ❤❤

Thank you for sharing the new channel. I understand you wanting to start fresh after everything you've been through.

Glad to see you back and can’t wait to follow the new channel ❤

I've said it before, I'll say it again. I'm excited to see whatever you've got coming.

I have only seen like 1/1000 people who actually liked book of night 🤣

I feel like EVERYONE is unhauling book of night lol

Glad to see you’re back and hoping for more regular content

I just got done watching a video about someone getting rid of a bunch of their kid’s toys and now that I’m watching this one I’m in the mood to declutter. Nothing in my house is safe today lol

When you unhaul books - do you donate them, or sell them? If you sell them, where do you sell them? I'm moving from MN to NH in a couple of months and I know there are a couple of books that i'm going to have to unhaul - but they're nicer books and a couple are signed so would like to make a little bit of money back on them lol.

Nice to see you again Jes 💜

it’s so so lovely to see you again!! i’m so happy that you’re back 💌

Glad to see you back! I also just want to take a moment to appreciate your Rammstein shirt. 🖤

Welcome Back! If you are reading, maybe sharing a reading update of your fav reads. Or Tag videos, I love those.

🖤

It’s so lovely to see you again ❤❤

i´m so happy to see your beautiful face again :-D i get why you left and i hope you are having fun coming back... how about a tattoo tour... if you are up to sharing

It is so wonderful to see your face 😊

Happy to see you back!!

I’m happy to see you back 🥹

Happy to see you again! 🥹 Also, this gives me hope that I may one day actually come back. 😂 I relate SO much to what you’re saying too. Being on the internet is harder than it used to be and the pressure to be perfect & speak on EVERY social issues happening just tore me apart. I never understood people getting upset about not speaking on something, especially because it’s not like all of us have a huge platform? LOL. Where is this energy for celebrities?? The standard is unreal. But also, sometimes I just didn’t feel knowledgeable enough to or didn’t want to talk about it in that space. I have my personal life for that. IDK. I have complicated feelings about it. 😅

Happy to see you back! Hope you are doing better now! Take care! <3

I have a whole Monday morning routine, mostly where I bump into walls because it's early and I'm grumpy but I also listen to a specific podcast while watching the episode of early 00's reality TV it's about and drink my coffee and yell at the little to GET UP. And you just threw off my entire routine with your lovely face. How dare you. I've been very YT absent and don't know how to comment properly anymore. Maybe you coming back will wake that muscle memory back up. ❤

Welcome Back Jes!☺❤

Is this...not...how absolutely every romance story goes? Becaaaaaauuuuuuuuse....... I want to see an AI do a thriller. I want to see how many genre attempts it takes before someone lets out a breath they didn't know they were holding.

Oh I see you read it. 😊

Have you read King's recent novel? I recently got it, but haven't started it yet.

Your glasses are adorable Jes.

even in that condition, that rage book is worth hundreds easy. great collection. i am just now realizing there is a face in the cover of dr sleep, never noticed that before lol

I love how you are doing the voice-over audio after you shot the video and you say things like “ahh” once you get the book back in place on the shelf. So funny. You must buy It….

Matt Haig has been very vocal about his depression on his IG. Mostly when the book came out. I haven't read it yet. Thanks for the recommendation.

You really know how to recommend an audiobook! Project Hail Marry was my best read of 2022, and since I heard how good audiobook is, I am itching to listen to it. Great and really useful recommendations, thank you!

Finally got time to catch up. And I am so happy to see you back! Super excited for all the videos you planned. It will be awesome to know you better, to meet your pups, see new house and hear your oppinions on all the books! I love watching vlogs, so you won't loose my views for sure. Good to know you are feeling better. And you look as beautiful as ever! I also usually set my reading goal for 50 books. It's a nice and achievable number to me. Happy reading!

::scoots romance out of the way:: These books sound so good! I hadn't even looked at the synopsis for Fairy Tale because I'd been so disappointed by King for so long but you may have talked me into it. Even though it sounds like I might cry. I don't know why I haven't read more Andy Weir after loving The Martian so much. I held off on that one because SCIENCE and then he surprised me. I need to get on it. Midnight Library also sounds like a book that will make me cry. A lot. ::side eyes::

I really need to read Ali Hazelwood 🥲

my top 5 fav of last year are The Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson, Fevered Star by Rebecca Roanhorse, Shades of Rust and Ruin by A.G. Howard, Babel by R.F. Kuang and Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young. The Wolf and The Whale is def in my top 10... i´m glad i read it after you are recommending it for years...

I’m SCREAMING 😂
