10 Books You Need to Read 📚

[@imjennim]

Happy Sunday everyone ❣️ I’m hoping to cross off 50 books by next year! How many are on your list? Also send me any book recs!

[@eday.395]

40 🙈💖 Great video 😍

[@sunnis0107]

Jenn Im The Miracle Morning and The Atomic Habits.

[@lottie5596]

I highly recommend 1. Haruki Murakami 2. The Awakening, Kate Chopin (my favourite classic! So beautifully written) 3. Little Women and Good Wives (the perfect cozy winter read)

[@sabrina611611]

eleanor oliphant is completely fine - gail honeyman was such a great book. cannot emphasize this enough.

[@Himichi]

Please read Circe by Madeline Miller if you like Greek mythology. It’s an awesome historical fiction book.

[@bshayeralkhalifa3149]

“ being busy all the time doesn’t mean you are productive “ ouch that’s really hit me in the bone

[@honey77777]

Bshayer Alkhalifa I felt so attacked lol

[@CallMeRose]

Just if anyone’s curious.. I believe 10,000 hours is approximately 416 days. Meaning these Outliers spend a whole ass year, one month, and two weeks becoming perfect.

[@fish-fy5sh]

the whole day, every day??

[@porto1st]

Thats if you spent every minute of every day without stopping to eat or sleep. Realistically, you would spend around 2 hours a day. Thats 5,000 days to complete 10,000 hours. 5,000 days is almost 14 years !!!!

[@daniellesongano9636]

I agree with Apollo. The 10,000 hour practice is not done every hour of the day. Realistically, this would take about 10 years. Malcolm Gladwell cited examples. He said that violinists would spend 4 to 6 hours a day practicing and in about 10 years, they would master their craft as they have practiced it for 10,000 hours. So did Bill Joy and Bill Gates. The Beatles also reached the 10,000 mark approximately during their 7th year, only because they performed and practiced in Hamburg for 270 days, 8 hrs a day. So no, the 10,000 hours cannot be realistically done in a year.

[@slaterbaez]

well if they just do like 3 hours everyday that’s a little over nine years

[@4maybeso]

Everybody should read "Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World - and Why Things Are Better Than You Think". EVERYBODY. Please. Just do it.

[@zackylageudaychannel9327]

Hi

[@normagruden]

I read it and actually didn't like it lol but I totally see how somebody would, I think everybody should give it a try :)

[@stefaniewongsw]

I enjoyed the book! Especially grateful for the aviation disaster stats bc I was going through a particular hard time of anxiety before my vacation back then; I also like how they reiterate that smth is better doesn't mean that they're no longer bad, which is a great thing to bear in mind when it comes to humanitarian or other issues that are worth and still demand concerted efforts

[@KanwarAnand]

4maybeso roger that

[@voldemortthenoselessfreak2126]

If someone is interested in Self Help Book i highly recommend: "University of Success" by Og Mandino. i just enjoy reading it because of the narrative and some short story that the author use to describe and explain things in life. the writing style is also fantastic. I'm not that much into self help books, but this book is different.

[@graciellavs]

10 books recommendation from Jenn Im: 1. Essentialism by Greg McKeown 2. Daring Greatly by Brene Brown 3. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell 4. Irresistable by Adam Alter 5. Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari 6. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Fiction) 7. Final Girls by Riley Sager (Thriller) 8. Hunger by Roxane Gay 9. Becoming by Michelle Obama 10. Dry by Augusten Burroughs

[@stllfrhh]

i'm not a book person, but i absolutely love listening to your recommandations and how passionated when you talk about one book and another. you kinda have this talent to make me want to read a book !

[@diannecaresosa6244]

Hi, Jenn! Please give tips on 1) how you manage to read regularly despite your busy schedule and 2) how you read effectively (e.g. do you write notes or highlight?). p.s. love these vids thank u 💕💕

[@Cherry-on-ice]

Dianne Caresosa I agree! One of the things that I find difficult is definitely how can I apply what I’ve read in my life. Would love to see a video 🙌❤️❤️

[@harumie6207]

Honestly I've dealt with this too. But I found that just finding a little time to carve out during the day is so helpful. Recently, I've been reading during my lunch break. It takes me longer to finish a book, but it's also helped me get back into reading. Making the smallest amount of time for yourself is super helpful!

[@purplebuddietia]

I think many people manage to read so many books because they make sure to make reading a daily part of their lives or at least a major part of their weeks? Like I’ve heard again in again that always carrying a book with you allows you to pull it out and read during times of you day when you aren’t doing anything. For example, when you’re on the train or if you’re in school waiting for a class to begin, or during your lunch break. Also, a big one that I’ve seen is that people who manage to read a lot of books listen to a lot of audiobooks because it allows you to multi task. So, when you’re cleaning or walking around or cooking you can read. For your last question due to what I studied in university It became natural for me to want to annotate some of my books. To do this, I just am more of an engaged reader and I am actively thinking of what is happening instead of quickly trying to get through the book. Along the margins you can write little notes about what you find interesting or funny or something you’re analyzing about the characters or situation. Also, you can underline quotes that you find you want to remember or that stick with you or seem important to you. One thing that you need to be careful of is writing too much and distracting from actually reading. Read the book and only underline or write notes when you REALLY feel like you should or else the whole page will be filled with tons of notes and underlined sentences and it’s distracting when you look back over the book. Also, sometimes I’ll just put a little dash or Star next to something interesting in the margin instead of underlining so it doesn’t get too messy on the pages. I hope this helps!

[@imjennim]

The moment I got my Kindle three years back, I've been an avid reader. I think it's because it's so lightweight and comfortable to read on. I also take it with me everywhere. I especially read a lot on the plane when I travel and before I bed I squeeze in at least 20 minutes a night. On the Kindle, there's a feature were you can highlight passages. This year I'm highlighting and then writing it down in a notebook.

[@carolle6158]

[@yordankatodorova6203]

Stephen King - The Institute (2019) This is the last King book and this book is breath taking from the beginning to the end. Highly recommended!

[@imjennim]

Oooo I'm adding to my list! Thank you!

[@hellomarijke]

Agreed! Really loved it 🥰

[@KanwarAnand]

Yordanka Todorova damn ok

[@mcbrian-channel]

Let me borrow your book.. Hehe.. joke.. 😊😊

[@kallistoindrani5689]

So true, loved this book!

[@CuteJcruz19]

Know My Name by Chanel Miller! It's such an important memoir that talks about sexual assault, oppression, and what it's like to grow up Asian-American :)

[@JulietteTLin]

YES!! Love this book!

[@dokidoki719]

I am half Indian, and India is in Asia but I am also half white and her memoir is very important and was needed but her childhood and even her life prior and after her assault was something only a very privileged person can experience. I didn’t find it to be the norm of Asian American experience. Maybe only the select few but not everyone. Even then the book I loved.

[@CuteJcruz19]

E L I totally agree and I think Chanel writes a little bit about her privilege but her insecurities being asian and the ways that her mom would try and console her rang universally imo

[@dokidoki719]

Nicole Yes, I agree I never felt that she was trying to brag about her life. But when she went to study in a different place so that she didn’t have to face people who knew about her assault I found it was not something that everyone could do. I left a tenure track job because I was sexually assaulted but I didn’t have the money to reinvent myself or goggle a river to grow and cry beside it with the wind blowing in my hair. Had to stay in the university town working a public job where I would have to meet my students. I found that part to be a little gimmicky. Maybe she had to find a coping mechanism and of course it worked for her. But many people especially because teens are reading it think this is the definitive experience of rape, it is often not. Her suffering was immense but her wealth, supportive family, and her nationality protected her from other extremely harmful consequences. Like take me for example, I am half Indian who was assaulted by a white man, I didn’t die but the man who did this escaped unscathed because of his race and class privileges. But I also wasn’t burned or killed off like so many of thr victims in India, my class and citizenship protected me from those consequences and my family didn’t think it shameful when I took legal step. You get what I mean, these things are a result of intersections of many social structures. Chanel knows this and she wasn’t being obtuse but people reading her book don’t get it. Sorry for this long comment I absolutely agree with you.

[@breaunagrace2268]

I read 80 pages everyday. This is my target

[@veenarani5413]

My goal was 100 and I read 89. I feel a bit disappointed because I fell into a reading slump near the end of the year which is why I couldn't finish my goal. I read more in 2018 as my goal was only 90 books and I read about 105.

[@caricakes]

Yes! I read Final Girls because of you and loooooved the twist! If you liked the interesting take on a murder mystery (since like you said, the murder already happened in the beginning) I want to recommend Big Little Lies if you haven't read it already. It's a crime novel but you dont know what crime was committed until the last few pages! Really surprised me and I think I read it in one day :)

This is so random but 10000 hours is equivalent to around 417 days! Anyway lol, I am binge-watching all of your book recommendation videos and I love them so much! I'm absolutely obsessed with your choice in words and the way you explain these books. I can just tell how much you love these books by the way your voice sounds and the look on your face. I am pretty young but also on the more mature side so your videos are perfect for me. One day I wish to grow my love for books as much as you :)

I feel like Jen is more happier and enthusiastic when she talks about books instead of fashion! Which I low key dig. A suggestion for your next video is maybe talk about how you set aside times for reading a book and not getting distracted/not making any excuses when reading please!!! I really want to enjoy books as much as you do 😁

[@saathvika4036]

I have a confession to make. It was one your book related videos that got me into booktube and after all these years I stumbled upon you again.

Thank you so much for these recommendations. One of my goals in life, not just New Years related, is to read more books. I oftentimes find the books on the best sellers list are not really my taste and I get discouraged finding a new book to read but these recommendations sound wonderful and I can’t wait to dive in!

[@pastelarvocado2475]

‘Never split the difference’ is a great book I read in 2019 twice. It’s a book written by a man who previously worked for the FBI and teaches you the basic skills for negotiation, which helped him convince hostage takers to not murder/return hostages.

Thanks Jenn. Your book list has given me a better book choice. Love from Thailand

[@alvinadjoened6741]

it’s always inspiring to see someone who reads so many nonfictions. there’s so many nonfictions i am interested to read but i still haven’t started anything till now. and i also agree on how you think that fictional characters could really feel like a real human being. several people who i consider as a role model are actually fictionals! for book recommendations, i don’t really read nonfictions so i will give you a fiction one. it’s called We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, you just need to read it without knowing anything so could be like BLOWN away by it. maybe just read the synopsis but i recommend you to not do that 😉

[@xiahkixiri]

I actually didn’t like We Were Liars that much, but I was obsessed with the writer’s The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. It’s sooo good.

[@morgandestiny5321]

we were liars blew my mind and i wish i could forget and reread it😅

[@chrissers24]

Anything by Harlem Coben!!! They are thriller/mystery type books, and very quick reads. He definitely keeps you captivated the whole time!! Start with Tell No One, I think you’ll really enjoy it!!

you've inspired me to buy a kindle and start reading more, and this is exactly what i needed to get back into it!! thank you so much for this

[@mariamarkkanen4337]

Another great book from Taylor Jenkins Reid is Daisy Jones & The Six, which is loosely based on Fleetwood Mac, so a rockband in the 60s and how they break up just when they're on the cusp of stardom. A fantastic read, just like Evelyn Hugo, so highly recommend!!

[@laurenquirky]

My recommendations are Passing by Nella Larson, Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Ishmael by David Quinn. All of these books will shake your worldview but leave you more empathic, socially aware, and expose to different experiences and perspectives.

[@pf6790]

Sapiens is one of my favorite books as well! Yuval (check out his old TED talks! anyway) have written a, what I believe, defines a great book - you end up wanting to tell people about it and discuss the content! His ideas about literally ideas, beliefs, stories, fiction is a great introduction of understanding the the concept of 'social constructivism' which gives you a whole new perspective of the world society. I read his other book '21 Lessons' which I think you would love as he hides many small witty quotes from old classics in his headlines which I know you would recognize!

Mesa para una, Caro Saracho. "Table for One". I don't know if the editorial will be making the english version of it. But if they do, you have to buy it! It's about losing the fear of being by yourself, to enjoy being single and to develop your personal groth. Even if women are in a relationship, should read it, because it's an amazing book and the author is just wonderful!

I'm not sure if someone already mentioned this, but if you Loved Evelyn Hugo you should really read: Daisy Jones and the Six also by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
