Jordan Sorrell I’m sorry the same comment repeated 3 times. I was having network issues

[@toniobagaye5297]

I'm so jealous of you right now... I wish I could unread those books just so I could read them again !!!

[@harmonizing8627]

Currently rereading "an absolutely remarkable thing" I fell in LOVE...

[@ryanwolf1582]

I'm reading Six of Crows and I'm really excited. i love your videos they are so funny!

[@user117-ella]

I read the cruel prince two days ago and I literally devoured it. I love it so muuuuuuuuch

[@julies.5886]

Todays mood just went up after I saw your notification.

[@zxyllia5964]

The entire illuminae files trilogy is another one you can read super fast x

[@lucagiordano7807]

[@ciarawhite1700]

1) the editing really snapped 2) im in love w your eyes (and you) 3) you’re so valid

[@yoongisenpai1597]

Jesse! I'm such a huge fan of yours and I honestly bought some of the books you're recommending. I didn't know your an ARMY! OMG

[@jaymesays6437]

His videos always give me such a calm vibe. Like a summer day, and I have a big TBR stack with plenty of time to get through it.

[@Phoebieify]

I really enjoy your channel, and your opinions about books are spot on. I would love to see you do a "reading booktubers favorite books" video! That would be so fun to watch!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I got a copy of the devouring gray too and I’m so excited to read it!

[@maudhaugland5822]

I devoured Nevermoor and the sequel Wundersmith by Jessica Townsend, and even though I am a bit older than the target group, it was SO AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!! I completely fell in love with it and waiting for the next book is torture! I also read The Perks of Being a Wallflower in just one day and adored it, so I really recommend that one as well!

[@meeyaalvarado4976]

I HEARD RIVERDALE AND STRANGER THING, i love it

[@lydia5635]

Books that were mentioned in this video: - the devouring Gray - the shatter me series - every heart a doorway - every one’s an alien when you’re an alien too - the cruel prince - a short history of the girl next door -

[@HannahReadsFiction]

Your Hannah Montana references made my Monday so much better. I’ve been wanting to read more books about faeries since reading Lord of Shadows, but I need to attempt to finish some more books off my TBR pile before I get Cruel Prince.

[@Rajaas_Reading_Corner]

Hey Jesse, I think you are really great at explaining and recommending books, and you would really reach out to younger kids to promote reading with books that I think we both think they would love to read. I believe that younger kids and our generation would be really grateful to a kind and understand book-tuber like you for spreading the love and respect for reading.

[@rachelolsen8774]

I got that notification and smiled. Ur positivity and energy is so contagious!! I love ur channel!

[@emilijaposkute2131]

Okay its 01:38 at night but I think your video is a good finish to my day😂💞

[@sjanienepost7093]

Emilija Poškutė 1:08 here but I agree

[@katelee8116]

i am sooooo waiting for your review of "Kingdom of Ash!!!" i literally just read just to watch your book reviews.

[@kaitlynfarrell160]

I’m currently devouring Fahrenheit 451!

[@m.k6419]

Hope ur having even more fun in Japan!

[@BreakevenBooks]

Those bookshelves looks so organized and nice 😍

[@samanthajungers8442]

I finished A Darker Shade of Magic today after starting it yesterday. Very quick read

[@rachelwood4744]

Your energy makes me want to read every book in existence. . . NOW! 😂

[@wolfdolphin7197]

Great video!! I was wondering if you have read P.C. Cast’s novel Moon Chosen, it’s in the series Tales of a New World. The books following it, so far, are Sun Warrior and Wind Rider. It’s a great series and if you haven’t read it you should give it a try.

[@andreaschafer3450]

I have read that too! It’s a great series.

[@idagortler2773]

I love your chanel so much, i'm a reader from germany and I always watch your vieos and always end up with 1 or 2 new books I want to read :) I hope I can buy new ones soon 😊

[@rodrigoaguilera420]

I am reading The Chamber of Secrets!!

[@thearabellashow3555]

I have a book series for you to read if you haven't yet, you should read *The Testing* series, it's amazing! I have read these books twice since I found out about them and I fell in love automatically! It's more of a futuristic book but in a completely different way. The main characters name is Malencia Vale and she studies really hard while she is in school so she can get into The Testing and go to The Univercity if she passes the test. Turns out, the test is deadly, and only 20 out of (I think) 120 kids will make it out....but what happens to those who fail?

[@makaylah_smith]

They all sound great!! A book series I would recommend is The Shadow Children by Margaret Peterson Haddix! It's based in the future and families are only allowed to have two kids, but some have three ( and they are called Shadow children because they must live in the shadows). It's every good and I read it really fast because the books are easy reads but it's amazing!!

[@elliaschutz50]

So I’m a new viewer (hey there) and I just saw that you have the Legend trilogy on your shelves. Those are literally my favorite books and I hope you even read them because I haven’t meet anyone else who has. I cried at the end. Im ready for Rebel.

[@jopeyk8869]

Ellia Schutz I love does book too but wait is there a follow up to them?

[@elliaschutz50]

Yes!! Marie Lu is releasing the fourth book, Rebel, in October 2019.

[@jopeyk8869]

Ellia Schutz yesssssss now I’m really excited and really looking forward to it!!!!

[@Summers.Little.Studio]

Have you ever read any of Harlan Cobens books? The ones I've read so far are AMAZING!! I love the plot twists and characters! So far I've read "Home" and "Gone for Good". My big sister let me borrow a couple of his novels she has, it's nice to have a sister who loves books as much as I do 😂.

[@taylerpryer4987]

I lOVED a short history of the girl next door. I was blindsided by the sadness but it was amazing. I've never heard any booktubers talk about it before but i'm glad you liked it too!

[@tarabagel1600]

Okay, you *need* to read the Skulduggery Pleasent series! Its kind of fantasy, mystery, jam-packed with end-of-the-world senarios. It is more aimed towards young teens but really anyone could enjoy these. I am currently *obsessed* but I don't want to say too much cos I'm basically a spoiler despenser lmao!

[@zeee9522]

Sadie was definitely a quick read for me because it's so captivating!

[@unabashedlyanne4527]

I devoured Keeper of the Lost Cities book 1, it went by so fast even though it was long! I also completely devoured Everything, Everything, having read it in one day. Chronicles of Vladimir Tod was a book I read really fast, and Scythe by Neal Shusterman (which I am rereading right now)

[@sayxri7001]

Please do a bookshelf tour! ;;

[@hiitsabbi]

Ahh I read “A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue” and absolutely loved it!! I also noticed the book “Sadie” in the background, also loved that😏

[@climbinguphill]

I read Gentleman's Guide in two days and Sadie in one night. Amazing books!

[@thedreamerthatdreams]

I m interested in choice of your emoji..🤣🤣🤣

[@thomasray]

The Key To Extraordinary by Natalie Lloyd is a very fast read with an amazing, unique main character and heavy themes of friendship and family, especially family traditions and legacies. There are also some friendly ghosts. (Not scary ghosts. This book is very not-scary.) It's amazing and I read it in only a few hours.

[@navyav.720]

I read Legend by Marie Lu in one sitting. It was really good!

[@SheIsAnOpenBook]

The second book in the Wayward Children Series is my favorite! I put them both on my favorites list of last year they are perfect quick reads to get you out of reading slump or to knock off a book for a readathon! Great Recommendation!!

[@davinarobinson8024]

'The Last Namsara' written by Kristen Ciccarelli was a super fast read for me! It captivates you and drags your feelings in the dirt (in a good way). I defiently recommend this one to dragon lovers and adventure seekers!

[@samanthasheffer2545]

I can confirm that you can devour the shatter me series really quickly! I read the whole thing in less then a week ( Including the novellas besides shadow me.) so I could watch the amazing booksplosion live-show live!

[@aliciacroft]

Currently reading Daisy Jones. I read all these except the first and last - and agree with the recs, I may pick up the last one thanks!

[@entrenchpodhost]

I just started Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak who’s my fav author 💛 third Zusak book I’ve read-pumped.

[@yoolkiie]

It's been a long time since i have speed read a book but it was back in the beginning of 2017 and the book was Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell.

[@JacobMinger]

Honestly you had me at Riverdale meets Stranger Things with The Devouring Grey. I’ll be reading that once I finish The Lunar Chronicles.

[@JacobMinger]

Sarah Faith I’ve seen it. I plan on reading it for sure. I just didn’t mention it 🙂 I’m kind of considering it a part of my Lunar Chronicles read even if it’s not related.

[@EmilyCheetham]

If you enjoyed the the devouring gray you might like Garth Nix trouble twisters series.

[@mischarowe]

Thank you for the book recs. I've never read Every Heart a Doorway or the Shatter Me series but I'm seriously hyped now. Great video.❤️

[@poolygaray]

4:04 i love how he realizes this so easily ❤️

[@megankleynsmith2459]

Definitely A Monster Calls

[@elizabethhanantaylor6332]

The Cruel Prince is a book that I honestly can say lives up to ALL the hype. I slowed myself down while reading just so I could make it last longer. Not everyone’s cup of tea but definitely mine.

[@juliapiosik7645]

I've recently read 'The Raven Boys' and I couldn't stop reading. All the mystery was amazing and I lived for Gansey and Blue. Also, that feeling when you see a book you love on someone's self... =] =] =]

[@luanamurray4237]

I’m reading Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix right now. It’s awesome!!

[@googley5]

Please make a Kingdom of Ash book review!!!

[@christian6262]

I’m reading Percy Jackson and the last olympian

[@daniellefranco9296]

That series is amazing

[@christiemcdonald6560]

I also loved Reck’s book. I cried.

[@estack24]

I am a slow reader BUT I devoured The Cruel Prince & The Wicked King by Holly Black. I also speed read the Legend series by Marie Lu, and Fourth Wing. Currently in 2024, I'm devouring The Inheritance Games by Jessica Lynn Barnes!

[@maliatfirst9]

im currently reading This Savage Song

[@cydney1545]

A series that i loved was the summoners trilliogy

[@caiteygoversmith9453]

I just finished listening to The Cruel Prince on the Libby app and I have to wait for the next one to be to listening to it.

[@poolygaray]

2 recommendations. The chronicles of Narnia are super easy, I started to love reading because of these. The world is beautiful, the characters lovable and frustrating at times (Susan....) and the growth the world has, seeing it in its most beautiful and most horrible moments makes you sad but extremely happy when things get right because you love the land. Also a really short book, Clockwork by Phillip Pullman. It’s creepy, easy to read, it got me out of a reading slump and the story just keeps you on and on. It got me in the edge of the seat even tho its like 110 pages long and it has pictures and the words are huge. Both, the chronicles of Narnia as a whole and clockwork are beautiful books.

[@heavendude101]

THE DA VINCI CODE by Dan Brown. The fastest read for me. Followed by THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak. If you read those then you know. Currently reading GHOST STORY by Peter Straub. It's a little slow

[@daiseygabriella3669]

Omg i love ur video so much!!!please try reading the Ash princess then Lady smoke, i really wanna hear ur perspective

[@josephinechloe6210]

Scythe series and stalking Jack the Ripper series are SO GOOD

[@kazrietveld6983]

I am currently reading Cruel Crown by Victoria Aveyard and then I'm going to read Defy Me by Tahereh Mafi (Came out April 2) and I cAn't WaIT (I also got The Cruel Prince and The Wicked King the other day :> )

[@lady18S]

[@xox_angelica_xox__2859]

I can relate to when you're reading a book and you look up and its like,midnight.I have started reading a book at 8pm and I finish it and I look up and its 3am...I just don't get how you do it but im not complaining

[@emmymaereads]

I'm currently reading Nevernight by Jay Kristoff

[@mariachirica4377]

I would totally recommend The Illuminae files. I loved this trilogy. One day I almost stayed up all night to finish one of the books

[@amiliaahlberg9001]

Just started reading shatter me and its frikking amazing🙃

[@myonnareads]

i feel like you’d really love The Devouring Grey it definitely was creepy and great to read around Halloween so you can get spooked :p

[@thebookwormofnotredame]

Funilly enough I binge read both the Shatter Me series and the Cruel Prince one in a few days 🙊 I indeed flew through them!!

[@longliveplanetawesome3223]

I've bumped into three people and stumbled upon two videos that referenced Hannah Montana today. Am I missing something here?

[@SexyGaaHina]

i think miley cyrus dyed her hair blonde and posted some instas referencing hannah montana so people got excited thinking hm was coming back

[@saragoldsmith2913]

I really loved Stargirl and it is very short.

[@Skylinersontape]

Atm I'm reading Obsidio! I read Illuminae and Gemina some time ago so I'm a lil confused still as to who is who

[@tracyswain6868]

Some books i recommend that i devoured Secrets of the tally series by Halie fewkes

[@NO-hb1qh]

I forgot my book at home and had a mini mental break down. "How am I supposed to survive the school day without it?" I wanted my mom to turn around so I could get it but when she did I felt guilty since we were already late. Sometimes I can be so selfish. I feel like a brat. She dropped me off and left me the house key. I had someone pick me up so I could still go to school. This is a problem for me. If I don't have a book I feel like I'm gonna die or something. I'm more attached to a book than my own friends. My mother is so nice but I always get in her way I feel like I'm always ruining something. The book sitting on my lap isn't a book anymore it's just a bundle of guilt and anxiety.

[@zulqaifplus6123]

I read the first book in Shatter Me series. Wasn't a fan but my friends would never let me DNF it. Also, my subcribers have asked for reviews. Seems like, I definitely have to continue.

[@charlielikestoread]

Currently reading Furyborn and listening to Revelation by C. J. Sansom :)
