AUGUST READING VLOG: A WEEK WITH ME YAPPING & READING & SNUGGLING NIGEL [CC]

[@jacks5007]

Once, in a random home improvement subreddit, someone posted about their "study", which started a debate about what constitutes "a study" and the consensus was it is an office with more than one bookcase. If a musical instrument is added to the study, it becomes a "conservatory". I'm a fan of making up words to fit needs so libroffice works for me but I thought others might find this debate about what makes a study as amusing as I did lol

[@JessOwens]

Omg wait, let me find my clarinet so I can call it a conservatory!!!

[@MargeauxsLibrary]

Your vlogs are my favorite!

[@MariahRayneArt]

Your excitement over a jar is so real. Me every time I can keep the packaging of something and reuse it.

[@DM_Morrow]

Jess and the jar rant makes me feel so validated!! I keep jars and put everything use in them (mostly food). They be some good ass jars!!!

[@JessOwens]

YES! WHY GET RID OF A GOOD JAR?!

[@dimerymichaels3539]

Me too!!! I have a box of jars and I pick one out when I need some storage ❤

[@gloriaboakye8980]

I don't know if you'll see this (I'm catching up on vlogs backwards lol) but I looooove these vlogs. They are probably one of my favourite things to watch on KZbin atm. Yours specifically. I'm so glad Olivia (I think ?) suggested you film weekly vlogs. You may feel that you don't have anything to show us but so far everything you have, including mundane stuff, I've loved, especially because you always share your struggles which I can really late to. ❤❤❤

[@frankistansbury7114]

You’re vlogs bring me so much joy LOL the jar thing had me

[@JessOwens]

🩵🩵🩵 I love a good jar

[@twilighterification]

Loved this vlog. You're a real one Jess for being so honest about life. I also struggle with doing what I'm "supposed to do". A therapy day for me is a right off 😅

[@chellyfishing]

Over 1000 pages is waaaaay too damn long for a single book to be. Jail!!! Jess, so many things you said in this vlog hit SO hard. Not to armchair psychoanalyze but do you have ADHD? I want to say “don’t be so hard on yourself” but I know it’s not that easy. Nigel really just has the best face omg. What a little prince. What would we do without dogs??

[@JessOwens]

Life without dogs??? Can't imagine! And I have been talking to my therapist about possibility of ADHD and every week it seems more likely LMAO.

[@chellyfishing]

@@JessOwens I’ve been trying to get a diagnosis for a hot minute and the way you spoke just reeeeeeally put me in mind of a lot of the things that helped me realize I probably do have it, lol. Good luck with yours if that’s what it is.

[@self_appointed_wisdom]

My brain works very similar and I'm diagnosed ADHD as well ❤

[@MaryJoHeadrick]

I'm SO excited that the new Amari book is out!!! No idea when I'll read it but I LOVE that series!

[@questionthat]

Nigel was giving the best side eye during your workout. So cute! Oh! And if you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend getting a small power scrubber for your tub - one with an extender!

[@JessOwens]

Oh I need one so bad!! And he is king of side eye!

[@self_appointed_wisdom]

Jess! You are my spirit animal lmao 🤣 I love listening to your videos while I work. You crack me up. Because of your recommendations, I'm officially reading my first Brandy Sandy -- Tress of the Emerald Sea. I love it so far 💚🤗 Don't forget! Youre supposed to do a vlog reviewing Brandy Sandy with the blunt bang wig! Don't think we forgot, from the livestream 😂😂😂

[@anix670]

Excellent vlog, youre doing so much content stuff and progress👀❤

[@dimerymichaels3539]

Thanks for all your honesty!! I can’t imagine content creating. I get anxious posting on instagram or TikTok and I don’t even try to make things look nice or well-edited. I don’t have any followers and it’s still just extra work and time. I even get bogged down just watching all the content I’ve subscribed to. It feels like work sometimes which is so stupid because it’s passive and I enjoy it. But I feel like I comment stupid things, but when I don’t comment I feel bad! 😅 I think anyone brave enough to be online is great and anything you provide is great and I wish it wasn’t stressful! ❤❤❤❤ Also always appreciate Nigel and the reminders to drink water. 😂

[@vashawnloves]

The way I howled when you shimmied when you were talking about the bed😂😂😂😂

[@JessOwens]

HAHAHAHA

[@fishbowlwoman]

You deserve all the fanfic for surviving The Book That Would Not End! 🎉

[@BookmarkChronicles]

Mhmm did we start the binding vlog yet?? That's a good jar!!!

[@yourewelcomebooks]

That one line '....What I want to do is take my bra off and go lay down" I felt that in my soul. There is no better feeling in the world

[@JessOwens]

NO. BETTER. FEELING

[@tsrad4747]

Hi Jesse! I was wondering if you’ve had a chance to create a video about your top 10 or 5 favorite books or series of all time. I’d be happy to watch it if you have, and I’d be excited to see it whenever you get the chance. I love your channel! ❤️

[@JessOwens]

Hey! I haven't because I start to make the list and then i can never decide on just 5 or 10 LOL. One day!

[@tsrad4747]

@@JessOwens LOL I feel you!

[@emilyhall7810]

Pillow cases are also the part of bed-making that I dislike. I have delayed it so long before that I just throw a clean blanket over the naked pillows until the next day.😅

[@JessOwens]

I have done this many a time!

[@noelanikaanana]

I need to start way of kings this month, meant to do it 2 months ago but every time I pick it up I put it back down 🙃

[@JessOwens]

you can do it!!

[@lyndf4487]

Are you reading Bones fanfic lol.Been there done that...I'm excited for the new Amari book.

[@JessOwens]

No I am not but wait a minute...I should be

[@hdestiny95]

I love that myprotein iced coffee 😋

[@rachaelgudgel8074]

You take the time you need for yourself! We will all still be here for you no matter when you post! Well, I will be here for sure 😁 You got this. 🫶 And Nigel is the most handsomest boy in all the land!

[@JessOwens]

THANK YOUU🩵🩵

[@DoubleA-ou7pj]

For content creation, do like some of the other ones. Book hauls every week- film you opening packages and going to the bookstore. Talk about the books in a different video. Unhaul them in a different video. You don’t even have to read them. Some just buy them for the content and then get rid of them. And the shorter videos are better in my opinion. No longer than 15 minutes. If you want to do more than that then you can 🤷🏽‍♀️ oh and some people just talk about the same books that they already read over and over again.

[@CarraRenee]

Nigel is too freakin cute!🥰🥰🥰 I don't understand how or why ppl read Brandon books. They always sound boring until the last 100 pages.

[@JessOwens]

Don't ask me why I'm reading them LMAO

[@HungryEyes-sl3mu]

Proud of you for powering through Words of Raidiance, I still haven't picked Oathbringer back up. If you're planning on doing a review of these books I'd suggest milking it, sit down do your entire review, and then break that b!tch up into like three pieces (then you have 3 videos torelease for the week). Also, I seriously hate pre-ordering through B&N, their policy seems to be to ship out on release day and it's infuriating because we all know they already have the books ready for shipment in the warehouse. I like to use the Talenti Gelato jars for nut storage and keep the plastic take out containers (like for miso soup or curries) as food storage containers in the fridge.

[@JessOwens]

Yes, we are reusing good containers!! Oooh, I never thought of splitting the video into 3 parts 😲

[@RobinReads]

Why is it every vlog I see, I feel like I’m telling you to throw away a jar?! 🤔

[@RobinReads]

Walking and yapping was nice. So glad Olivia is back 🙂‍↕️

[@JessOwens]

I don't know because THAT'S A GOOD JAR

[@danimorin6283]

i have never had one interest in reading brandon sanderson. His books seem so pointlessly long, and kind of boring.

[@JessOwens]

and you are wise because they are so goddamn long lmao

[@hearthhobbit]

Filming is hard! 🥲 Hang in there! Bones is so good! I haven't finished it either. I'm glad Nigel is feeling better
