[@myraredfern7587]

[@ChristasCatalog]

Another excuse that I find myself using way too much is "They're changing the covers and I don't like the new ones so I have to buy all the of them now in the original covers to match."

[@booklover5191]

The Bookish Porcupine I could totally relate

[@lo4950]

The Bookish Porcupine i always pull the , ”it's for class....“

[@evareads2817]

Oh yes, me too!:D

[@lillythai7939]

The Bookish Porcupine Lol I just grabbed a box set this afternoon because of this reason 😂😂

[@mariaredondo4096]

Me too!!

[@kcnicole9423]

"I could be addicted to drugs, so this is actually a healthy obsession... right?" is my go-to excuse! I have used a lot of these too though!

[@user-lg7gx9vt5m]

What my sister said in defense of her k-pop obsession.

[@Bookdrogan]

KC Nicole I have actually said those words to my mother...and I'm a grown woman! 😂😂😂

[@kathrynfuller5263]

therapist: and what do we do when we are sad? me: add book to cart

[@ringwraith10]

This is me every time I go out. "What if my car breaks down?"

[@OwlCookie4]

Tera Weigman ....well a lot can happen in two minutes..........

[@rattlethestars6016]

My excuses are "I'm buying four books now, so I won't buy one every week!" "I need to treat myself!" "The book was calling my name and WHY WOULD I DENY IT LOVE?!" "I absolutely have to build my collection" "I know I just got one but it needs a friend!"

[@captnnarwhal9393]

It's scary how accurate this is XD

[@fransiskalintang5890]

i know.

[@mckenzieread]

All very true excuses.. My most used one is "But it might not be here when I come back for it!" 😅

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

yes mine too

[@iKaroliina]

I had free time before going to gym. It's never a good idea to spend time in a book store. I now have 3 new books...

[@jessethereader]

+iKaroliina right??

[@michaelrojas1742]

I always like going to the book isle in Walmart whenever I go there with my mom. One time my mom said: "I don't know why you look at them if you never buy anything." Next thing you know I excited Walmart with three books in my hands

[@michaelrojas1742]

Exited*

[@allaboutroy7399]

Michael Rojas I love the book isle at Walmart! They always have the SAME books and just one shelf on new arrivals and that I already know of from other stores, but I always find myself in that section less than FIVE minutes after entering the store!

[@amiraebrahim1008]

I was abducted by aliens and they would only let me go if I bought this book

"My favorite booktuber has been raving about this book so I had to buy it" That was me when I bought Miss Peregrines, I still haven't read it, I'm going to read it soon, Jesse, I promise!

[@iustinatraistaru7331]

Michelle Smirnova I know. I saw how much Jessie loves Miss Peregrine series and I said why not. And I love it.

[@kakimichii]

Me too

[@sethcosgrove816]

I love it, I'm actually reading book 4 now! Must read series if you ask me.

[@emmabloom1793]

I read it only because I wanted to see the movie, but it turned out to be my all time favorite series and it took me several months to finally watch the movie (I was afraid that it wouldn't turn out well, but after watching it I think the movie is great too)

[@ingvildkvakestad]

Same girl/dude!

[@autumnwelsh8944]

Me: Mom, I need a book. Mom: But I bought you two books three days ago! Me: Yeah well I kinda....already finished them both.... *Mom gives me the glare*

[@stephens42]

Infinetly Autumn my mom is like "Come on you went to the library yesterday"

[@slytherinnam7755]

Infinetly Autumn lol I have the same problem. Literally I ask my mom every two days to go to the library....then I also go to the book store. Apparently "if I'm bored do extra hw"

[@solevlyy]

That's me! 😂

[@edithhoney8073]

[@kazmacdonald2271]

Jesse: "My favourite BookTuber has been raving about this book!" Me: Just ordered Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children because Jessethereader said it was amazing

[@abookishaphrodite5644]

Lol the color ones... So true though- I've bought a book just to read on a trip. I did get to it, however.

[@stephpiano2908]

I get all "it'd be an injustice to the book read it in public", doesn't stop me from buying it THO…

[@75sol21]

"it's pretty, so even if I hate it it'll look good on the shelf." my excuse always.

[@MandiLynnWrites]

I shall forward this video to my mom so she understands how my life works.

[@elisekal8665]

A couple weeks ago I went to London with school and my parents gave me €50 and I ended up spending it on 10! books (it's miraculous how I all got them home) but after the trip my parents where like "where did you spend your money on?" and I seriously was like "Uhhhhh".

[@aleksandra4702]

when my mum asks where the heck did all of my pocket money go and i just say "i don't even know what i spent it on" but i know perfectly...

[@vischekhashivaneshan8841]

wait wait wait so u are telling me, you can buy 10 books with 50 bucks while i have to pay 24sfr for 1 Book in Switzerland?

[@krishafyme]

@@vischekhashivaneshan8841 in India averagely books costs 500 rupees and over a 1000 for hardcover, so I have to but paperback

[@vanshika2912]

Krisha Joshi I get you, in India, hardcovers are WAYYY TOO EXPENSIVE. so i somehow convince my parents to get me paperbacks (from amazon instead of bookstores) I probably own one hardback.

[@Books-and-coffee0]

Literally every single time I went on trips with school. Even when it was just a city 50 klm away I spent all the money I had in books. But as others have mentioned most books are really expensive in my country so I always opted for the English paperbacks.

[@jackiechild7693]

Like half of these were just related to colour😂😂😂 (loved it though, all these excuses were so good and I'm definitely gonna use a few😂💖💖)

[@jessethereader]

+Jackie Child i was trying to make it a running joke, but i'm not sure if it worked lolol

[@jackiechild7693]

jessethereader it worked great... I laughed every time😂😂💖💖

jessethereader the I'm sad and books make me happy is so true and the i started reading it in the store and it was closing so u had to buy it one is so true to p.s ily pls reply

[@elvie2230]

Yeah next I thought he was going to say, " It's stripy" or something!

[@branm.4661]

You forgot "I'm already ordering one so why not get the rest of the ones I want." Yea I spent $50 on Amazon yesterday. Great. More to add to my TBR!!

[@afternoonsunjeans9180]

I spent €79 on Amazon today, and, honestly, that was my exact excuse along with "This one is out of print and just a few used copies are left" and "They don't want money for deliver, NO MONEY FOR DELIVER" and "This one is so pretty and it's already on my list, so why not?" and "I just read the reviews and it is so great, I have to have it" and "Who the fuck needs their Christmas Money, right, it's over anyway"

[@annap8824]

I also buy books just because they are on discount. Every. Single. Time.

[@jessethereader]

+Ella Gudiño Farber thanks so much! 💙

[@OneSongProductions]

Great video! I have said every single one of these excuses to myself a thousand times. I also work at a bookstore, so the 'but i have a discount' excuse is used daily.

[@Bookdrogan]

omg same! I get a great discount so it's sooo hard to say NO

[@purrhaochi]

Thanks Jesse for giving me believable reasons to buy books! Now I am ready to face all accusing human beings☺️❤️

[@HannahBihnana]

the colors, all the colors. also, it's true about the colored edges, I have 3 books with black edges, one red, and one pink for this very reason.

[@gracesingsalot7398]

“I was feeling sad and books make me happy.” Literally my excuse to my mom for never leaving a bookstore without a book

[@saturnimors]

"It's blue, I love the color blue." "It's yellow, I love the color yellow." "It's purple, I love the color purple." "It's red, I love the color red." "It's black, I love the color black." "It's brown, I love the color brown."

[@carla538]

Your videos are so relatable, it's so entertaining to watch.🤗 I definitely use those excuses a lot.😂 Many of my family members are always saying "are you ever going to read all your books?" And I always answer "just you wait, I will read them all!" 🙌🏽

"Who can resist a good bargain?" ME EVERY TIME I GO ON BOOK OUTLET

Okay. Sooo... - the first book you showed was the one I am currently reading. - you mentioned the smell of a book, and this is actually one of the things I like the most about books I. AM. SUBSCRIBING. RIGHT. NOW !

[@anaayana7378]

" I was buying it for my friend's birthday but now I am gonna keep it ." 😂😂😂😁😀

[@PersonWhoAsked]

2:57 i relate all too well with this one flashback to how i saw the next book of a trilogy, became overexcited, had to keep my hands off of it knowing i was getting it for my birthday, and proceeded to keep asking about it for the next 3 days leading up to my birthday. even though my dad got the book pretty late and it was already night time, it was worth the wait. just need to wait for next book to publish next year.

[@PersonWhoAsked]

btw the trilogy is the woven kingdom series by Tahereh Mafi

[@sageloki1155]

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

Your videos are always so fun to watch, especially ones like this. I use the excuse that I have to get the next book in series right away, even if I haven't read the one(s) before it. One time, I used the excuse my friend offered to buy it for me.

[@july3817]

I wanted to support the bookstore hits different this year

[@katsuki_fan2465]

The fact that you were holding a Cinda Williams Chima book at one point made me extremely happy!!!

I sincerely appreciate the fact that you changed your shirt and book between each excuse.

Me Always! My most recent trip: I went to Barnes & Noble to buy a book as a gift for someone and decided I had to buy myself one as well as a reward for quitting smoking for one month (which was three months ago) Also, I had to have it because one of the blurbs on the back said for fans of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and I LOVED that book.

[@ErinRogoff]

I go to my local Barnes and Noble every time I get a paycheck. I set a budget for myself, but I don't always pay attention to that . . . and the booksellers know me on a first-name basis. Love your channel, Jesse!!
