[@BookishRaider]

"I'm weird, what do you expect?" That's a perfect line that sums me up.

[@everythingart7566]

Catherine Benson he said it as soon as I read this

[@lilsyy]

Yep same

[@aloleelibros]

STANDALONES ARE LIKE THE WORST AND BEST. This is so relatable

[@janinecurty4757]

Your bookshelf is the most beautiful I've ever seen

[@carahamelie]

Im really bad with mental character obsession. I make up characters in my head, and then if I'm not happy with them, i try to change my mental image... but it doesn't work very well.... or I get annoyed if I don't have a clear mental image of a character. OR if I see an actor or actress as the character and i don't like that actor or actress... but i can't stop thinking of them as the character. thats happened to me before too. I just get weirdly obsessive about that sometimes... i have always wondered if I'm alone on this. haha

[@larissazingg9422]

No, you are not alone with this problem. I can't finish a book if I'm not able to get a clear mental picture of (or not feeling a connection to) at least the main character. Also I hate it if I'm unable to envison the world a story is taking place in. It's like trying to board an airplane to an amazing holyday destination and not having your ticket (if that makes any sense to you?) And actors or actresses in book to movie adaptations, who do not look anything like the picture in my head are the worst!

[@JulEnglefaris]

Carah Amelie THIS. And the actress for Cassie in the 5th Wave ruined my image of her

[@thegalaxydonutshow]

Kaorisity I hate it when you have a mental image of the character and the actor that plays them in their movie COMPLETELY ruins it. My mental image of Sirius Black from Harry Potter was more like Snape....

[@kalicrusilla5529]

EXACTLY, ITS SO ANNOYING BUT I OBSESS OVER IT ALLLL THE TIME

[@monicasing6235]

Carah Amelie omg ahh this is sooo my problem. Literally made me not like ginny weasley as much as I should

[@Libib]

The #1 thing that makes me a bad reader is finding time to read! Even though I'm bored with nothing to do at times it can still be hard for me to force myself to sit down and read. Great video and it really made me think of ways I can improve on my reading!

[@Michelle-je9jk]

Libib same!

[@tanviohol6807]

How can u call yourself a book lover then??

[@BonesandBooth92]

IM EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE HAHA I read so quickly usually in 1 or 2 sittings bc i HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS then im mad at myself for not reading slower! ESPECIALLY w series tho!! i cannot leave a world until i know every single detail of every last book in it!! I stretched out lord of shadows to 5 days tho which absolutely never happens 🤣

[@likelylili7216]

freeleigh haha. For books it's either I stretch it out or I read It super quick.

[@sercemwksiazkach3446]

freeleigh I marathon series too and I prefer to read in one sitting. BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS A GOOD THING. For example, when I'm reading in the evening/at night (as always basically) I feel like I wanna finish a book, and it ends up with me putting an all nighter. AND THE NEXT DAY FOR EXAMPLE I GO ON A TRIP IN THE MORNING. And guess what I do the next day? ... Yes, you guessed right. The cycle starts over and over again. I felt this lack of sleep when I was at my grandma's house last week. I finished three books on these four days, and slept... Not a whole lot. I kinda regret that

[@BonesandBooth92]

Isabelle_ Depending on how quickly i zip thru books i usually have to read them again bc i missed so many details the first time! (i say that as if i wouldnt re-read it anyways 🤣) Or like for series i cant separate the details of each book bc the second i finished 1 i immediately picked up the next one haha

[@likelylili7216]

freeleigh hah me too. I always need to reread books after because I get so excited the first time and miss a lot of detail or I forget it a lot easier

[@caitlin3912]

freeleigh teach me how you do it, master

[@Xk8rsx]

I have the book buying issue, I end up buying more when I have no room-guys I DO NOT EVEN HAVE A BOOKSHELF! Like there are times when I go into a bookshop and stand there for like ten minutes holding a book and having an internal argument with myself about whether or not it's a good idea to buy it. And I end up doing it. Most times. I need help.

[@CapturedInWords]

It takes me SO long to finish series. I can completely relate with getting tired of being in the same world, even if you're loving it. I think this problem stems from the fact that I just have such a big variety of books that I want to read, and I want to read ALL OF THEM.

[@CapturedInWords]

Another thing I'm bad at is being caught up with new releases! There's just so many older books I want to get caught up on that are amazing, but I end up missing out on amazing new releases!

[@momosquad23]

+Captured in Words same! I tend to wait so long, that the hype for good books die out before I finally think hmmm. I'll give it a try. its what I ended up doing with hunger games and I slowed down with the movie hype. its like being popular makes me think meh

[@Geseekah]

you should read warrior cats :)

[@ItsLizzLizz]

When you like the video before even seeing the video

[@likelylili7216]

Elizabeth Bravo haha yes

[@ItsLizzLizz]

Lydia Fuoh dedication

[@silmarwen9971]

All the time ahaha

[@shelbyleewiggins7700]

basically me with every booktuber video that I have ever seen

[@wherestephaniereads580]

Same here.

[@gel_pen]

I do all the things on this list XD..... We can all be bad readers together 📚

[@likelylili7216]

Clodagh 1912 yes, I do all the same stuff too

[@duffymarie3322]

100th like

[@aideeng8259]

I'm really bad at remembering what happened in previous books in a series and always have to look up a summary before starting the new book!

[@Skylinersontape]

Saaaame

[@lilyroset1494]

1: I am really bad at reading standalones 2: I am really bad at reading series Then watcha gunna do ?? 😂 Love you Jesse ❤️

[@mariavalie8434]

Okay, based on the points that you have made in this video about you not finishing series or taking too long to finish series because you just get tired of the same world/same characters, MY question is, JESSE . . . (suspense music) How long did it take you to read all seven Harry Potter books?

[@lindsaybuckles1543]

Great vidio Jesse! I also miss prounounce characters, places, authors, and tittles.

[@milenapierotic2585]

Lindsay Buckles same here😂😭

[@BooksStuffbooks]

"Today I'm basically going to drag myself" ok, but me everyday

[@zainabsafi4213]

I refuse to call chaol 'kale'. whenever I try to read his name as kale I can't take him seriously. I ALWAYS read his name as 'kowl' or 'chowl'. yes, I am an idiot. anyway great video Jesse!

[@johannahall2143]

Zainab S saaaameee

[@gabilewis7699]

Lmao me too

[@victoriasmith490]

Me too! This is exactly how I read it!

[@acelgas3virtudes]

was anyone else just looking at his sleeves the whole time?

[@delrostory]

I always give books second chances. I hate to stop reading in the middle of the book just because I can't keep up with the plot anymore. I just need to finish it until the end, it'll drive me crazy otherwise. Hi from Paris, France 🇫🇷👋🏽

[@jahnaviippagunta7011]

Delrostory omg same 😂

[@mariakellermann539]

I'm Brazilian and In my opinion ur channel is the best 💙

[@paulinasantos4106]

Madumek oh me too, I really love his videos

[@mariakellermann539]

Paulina Kayse Ikr! We have some booktubers on Brazil, but his channel is the best 😂 he is so funny!

[@PeoplepersonOG]

Madumek Tbm. O conteúdo dele é muito criativo. Eu me identifico bastante.

[@mariakellermann539]

not today Siiim, gosto muito de alguns canais daqui, mas o dele cara... É perfeito, ele é engraçado, mas continua tendo um conteúdo muito bom. amo ele

[@crayonfactory6340]

I don't have that problem of not wanting to get to the end of the book because I get antsy to finish it and see how everything ends or works out. My worst reading problem is probably spoiling myself by doing stuff I know I shouldn't do (ex: flipping to the end of a chapter to see how long it is and accidentally seeing a spoiler, checking social media when I follow people who read books I want to read, and especially checking book wikis. I got spoiled for Lord of Shadows by checking the Shadowhunters wiki because I forgot what happened in Lady Midnight and needed to refresh my memory).

[@kureru3522]

Thank you for admitting that you are bad at finishing stories! I’ve always be super self conscious about it, even books that I loved, because I get distracted with another book, or more likely, youtube, instagram and you name it. Knowing that it happens to even a super reader likes you makes me feel so much better about it!

[@kureru3522]

I also get these frenzies when I’m buying more books that I’m actually planning to read, but it’s ok cause I mostly buy them second hand, so the money goes to charity, and if I end up not reading it, I can donate it back, so there’s that.

[@Kitkatscanread]

I totally feel you for some of these!

[@cambriaagpaoa6411]

So relatable!!! love your channel Jesse

[@gloryfolaranmi3688]

you are so amazing and strong you inspire me

[@RiyaDoshi]

jesse: chaol (shows a picture of kale) also jesse: the archived (doesn't show a picture of chives) me: okay jesse

[@tamaracantor]

Happy birthday!!! Love ur videos so much❤️

[@bethanyfisher5048]

omg I love watching your videos because you always say things that I thought was just me like stopping reading a book cos you know a favourite character will die and you're too scared to lose them yet - and when I at last read that part I cry or have to take another break until I continue on with the book because the heartbreak is real

[@jackiewilliams7188]

I second everything you said about taking notes! I want to take notes so my channel will be more than just unboxings, but it can be so hard to just stop reading in order to take said notes!

[@carolinereadsbooks4444]

This is like the most relatable thing I've ever heard in my life haha I love your videos Jesse!

[@margaretbaldwin4416]

Omg I get this so much!!!! Like no matter how good the series is, I just get tired of it and then I'm mad at myself for being tired of it so I set it aside until I'm not tired of it anymore and then I just never pick it up again!! Like I really wanna finish it but I also don't want to enjoy it less than I did when I started!! This happens to me with so many series I just wish I could stay committed for longer

[@tesszalutsky5624]

Love your videos!!!!

[@martiebum7075]

THIS IS SO RELATABLE. I JUST CAN'T

[@kaymarie5140]

Youre book shelves look AMAZING !!!!

[@shannongoad4964]

Luv all of your videos...

[@unnamedcryptid2827]

Omg the second one is so relatable!! I had to take a break in the middle of the Harry Potter series, which is my favorite book ever.

[@miippi]

I totally understand not finishing a book so that the charecter may live. I started reading "The Velveteen rabbit" like 10 years ago. I have since then, read it I think twice, and I always stop at the same time. When The boy is sick and they need to burn The Velveteen rabbit. Cause if I don't keep reading, The rabbit doesn't get burned, and another toy lives.

[@danylj959]

I almost can't marathon a series because I will get sick of reading about the same characters and/or world just like you! You're not alone!

[@FirstPrince1992]

I agree with your first two points, especially when it comes to series. I don't want series to end because I've grown so attached to the characters, and if I try to read a series straight through I get tired of the world for awhile and need a break. I tend to read one or two books in a series, read something else, and then go back and read a couple more from the series. This not only helps me to stretch out the storyline, but also keeps me from growing tired of the plots in series.

[@ryannehelms3260]

I love stand-alones and series. Stand-alones are good for a quick and satisfying read but series are good for a long emotional rollercoaster that destroys you when it ends because you've been on it so long. So, yeah. Books ❤ Gotta love em.

[@harshirajupet5350]

I was watching another video but as soon as I got the notification I clicked

[@skeeterjeff5862]

I love your videos-hope you have a fabulous day

[@harjotsamrax]

Loveeee youuuu !

[@mjop6187]

wow. what you said about the ending part and books series, I can't agree more!!

[@haileyleland2969]

Honestly same Jesse. Happy (late) birthday!!

[@emmakate9753]

That last one though! I feel exactly the same way!!!!!!

[@CharityRogers1331]

You are my inspiration!

[@purnotakabir]

I’m proud of barely having any books in my tbr pile sooo yasss

[@juliagrace4032]

Almost dropped my phone I clicked so fast

[@likelylili7216]

Julia Grace lol

[@fallingpetals15]

I love your channel ❤

[@bookjunkie409]

I can't marathon a series either! I get caught up in that book's story and I don't want anything else to happen yet. I get it!!

[@enkoorsss]

wow oh my gosh me too with the getting tired of the same world over and over

[@francescaandlaurie5311]

ly Jesse! X

[@sabrinaz6045]

oh no.. this was too relatable LOL!

[@emilykathleenreads]

I always spend too much money on books but it definitely goes towards a good cause. I also start a new book if I fancy a break from the one I'm reading! Love these sorts of videos as it makes me realise I'm not the only one!x

[@jenniferkrentz542]

JESSE YAS THIS VID WAS SO GOOD! Im bad at keeping up on new releases and DNF'ing books

[@lupitagalvan4756]

You are so cute!♡ I literally stop what I was doing so I could see your video!

[@emilyloveslondon4041]

I love this video I feel so much better now! As booktuber and blogger I do all those things so nice to now I'm not alone! You should do a companion video for tips for these issues!

[@mariadumitru3962]

Aww, I know, the thing about the endings.Sometimes I am anxious to continue reading a book, when the characters are happy and a plot twist needs to happen.

[@gemmaellis3403]

Jesse I'm always like this with books... I have to take a break with books in a series, it's only very rare that a fly through the whole set of books

[@kotalaning6999]

I... do... everything... that... you... described... Especially the character attachment. I also get attached to many characters and that also happens with me and movie/tv show characters. Any character death just results in my crying for hours upon end

[@TheTimeLordWhoLived]

I'm actually so happy that I'm not the only one that struggles with finishing books. 😅 THANK YOU!

[@MistbornTaylor]

*Jesse:* I like series because you stay with the characters longer *Also Jesse:* I don't like staying in the same world or with the same characters for too long. _Jesse_

[@danaecaster1554]

Buying way to many books in book hauls, I have had to take a brake from a series I love because it got overwhelming as well and I am super bad at knowing I want a series but I wait till all or most of it is out to start hauling them which makes it a bit more difficult to get them in hard back love the video and you!!

[@camilariomayor7196]

Your pronunciation problems are the most relatable thing!! 😂😂😂😂 i struggle with the same issue don't worry. Love u! ❤️❤️

[@mewmewgail4901]

omg I can so relaite!

[@larav.2082]

You're awesome!!!

[@adoringfiction5871]

Okay, your shirt really reminds me of the A List of Cages cover and I loved it. I'm a bad reader because I read really slow and sometimes it takes me forever to read a book that I really like

[@latesummer93]

I have problems keeping up with and finishing series as well! It's rare that I binge a series - I tend to feel like it takes up more energy. So, I read a book and then switch to either a standalone or another series. And I'll read a few books before even thinking about going back to the original series I started.

[@h.gspurs2160]

Happy late birthday Jesse!!!

[@LibriLabra]

OMG pronouncing author names, book titles or even getting the character names wrong. I feel you Jesse, I feel you!

[@Riven_27]

The first one is super relatable

[@kobijade]

I am with you! I can not read the rest of the series after the first book for all the same reasons

[@cutelittlebitt]

You are Awesome ☺️

[@daniellewagner7140]

I get super terrible reading slumps and it's sooo annoying! It usually happens after I finish a book and it's super annoying when I finish a book in a series cause i don't want to read the next book for a few weeks!

[@IvyLilley]

You should do a video showing us EVERY book in your physical TBR pile right now!

[@katyronan]

Literally everything you said in this video applies to me as well! Sometimes if it's at the end of a series I take a really long time to finish it because I don't want it to be over, I do the same thing with TV shows I take forever to finish them because I want to be able to binge watch the next season later and I don't want it to be over! I just stopped in the middle of the last book of a series that I really enjoyed the world and the characters of, but I was just craving something different and I had to pick up a totally different genre. I'm going to try to force myself to finish that serious! I will get it done! It will be finished! it will happen!

[@planetswithfaces5881]

I love you Jesse also great video

[@violatardisaur8994]

i relate a lot to the first one! i just don't want the stories to end :(

[@leongeunice1]

I totally can relate the following through the series. I started reading the 1st book of the mortal instruments series in 2013 and then after finished reading the first three books. I took a hiatus and started reading the 4th book until the 5th one in 2015. And now I'm sort of taking a time off for the final book. Don't get me wrong, I adore the series; but as you said Jesse, we can get overwhelm of the same thing for a time.

[@christinaodonnell7862]

I'm the same! I have a category on my goodreads called "Didn't Make It" for books I have started but never finished.

[@MissScrabble308]

I can never marathon series because I get tired of being in the same world all the time, so I get you!

[@kelandhershelves]

I'm guilty of all of these things! Especially buying too many books at once. I'm moving soon and trying to figure out bookshelf placement and packing up all my books is a giant hassle! But totally worth it!

[@e4syrevenge]

Totally get it. You know what would make me extremely happy? You reading and reviewing The Raven King😍

[@rebelbelle1388]

I read the last few pages of a book before I start it. That way, I know how it ends and I don't have that anxiety you're talking about. If I start reading a series, and the last book is out, I'll look up the wiki to see who ends up together, who dies, etc. That settles me enough that I can read the series or book slowly, and really enjoy it, knowing that I'm already at peace with what happens at the end.

[@karinh2501]

I totally understand you in all the points you've mentioned, except the taking notes part. ( Never even tried ;)

[@MrRorosuri]

I'm not the only one that does this . phew The characters become real people/beings when i'm reading and it hurts seeing them suffering

[@torontotom3168]

Great video!

[@aasthasarma2144]

So relatable !! I could literally see myself on screen as weird as it sounds !!! 😂😂

[@kirstyalexander5747]

Jessethereader I love your videos u make me smile

[@midnightmoonlight8612]

I relate to the second problem so much! A great example of this is throne of Glass. And the mispronounciation. Once I have it a certain way in my head there's almost no chance of correcting it.

[@dimitramantzeri6287]

The last one ... you just summarized my financial problems. Some people spend their money on clothes and cosmetics. I spend them on books and that's how I always end up broke. Broke but happy, having all the time in the world to pet my little babies 😍

[@pixireads]

I am also bad at taking notes while reading when I fully intend to write or film a review for the book. I have at least at times remembered to bookmark a spot when listening to an audiobook, a quote or something exciting just happened, but most of the time I'm doing something while listening or am so absorbed I don't think to make a note or add the bookmark.

[@vibeatles]

I can relate of everything you said!

[@andreeawaldorf5726]

Same with series, no matter how much I love them I need a break from the world and the characters.

[@tamaracantor]

"I know it's weird, but I'm weird" Meeeee❤️

[@sirih4085]

I have 8 series that I LOVE SO MUCH that are lying around waiting to be finished because I'm at the last chapters of the last books and i don't want these series to end 😢😢

[@SamanthasBooks]

I'm SO bad about taking notes too!

[@zuzanalukyova4328]

Omg I can totally relate to everything you said in this video! And same, I pronounced Chaol as Kale too even after I've heard so many people (even Sarah herself) say it as "Cha-ol". I just couldn't help it 😁

[@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks]

Dude I feel you. I almost wasn't a reader because I hated so many endings.

[@venisquxxr8214]

I can hardcore relate to the 'hard time finishing series' with every single series except for 3 (Maze Runner, Shadowhunter Chronicles, and Harry Potter)
