CHILLIN IN BED TALKIN BOOKS

[@jessethereader]

I have no idea why the saturation is NUTS for the first 3 minutes of this video! I'M SORRY. I'M STILL AN EDITING NOOB. It makes me look like I have a real bad sun burn, we'll just act like I do have a sunburn.

[@bat5092]

[@katchuuu8000]

That makes two of us I'm bad at editing too

[@samanthaharrell4212]

*when you love your own comment* It’s ok Jesse, we love you too ❤️😂

HOW DO YOU STOP READING A BOOK IN MARCH BRUH

[@emmmabooks]

every heart a doorway is amazing i hope you continue with the series!!

[@TheBookGoblin]

What blend of coffee was it? It's relevant to establish whether the coffee was more important than the _WHOOSH_ or not.

[@itsmist-er]

You're so right...

[@digitalbookbath]

you’re asking the real questions

[@evermoremystic17]

Amen!

[@filipatavares2196]

I swear the first 20 seconds had me dying! But yeah your "whoosh" is legendary it feels weird watching a video with you not 'whooshing' 😂😂😂

[@jumana6783]

Filipa Tavares same😂😂😂😂

[@amandamarie410]

"If you're not gonna go all in with the WHOOSH don't do the whoosh at all"

[@laurengroves663]

"it's also hard to bye chu on my bed." Totally misheard that as "It's also hard to bite chu on my bed" 😂😂😂

[@rumple7232]

For me it was bite, chew.....😂

[@rumple7232]

Also, hi fellow oncer!

[@nataliehock1606]

I thought I was bie chu

[@abigailscorner902]

Is that- No it can’t be- Jesse is FINALLY READING STARS ABOVE

[@hannahscottp4389]

Abbie Is here OMIGOSH! YOU'RE RIGHT! *Gasp. . . I'm reading that too!

[@abigailscorner902]

KZbin fan girl no way

[@abigailscorner902]

KZbin fan girl are you enjoying it

[@mireillek2841]

Chilling in bed and talking bout books is the best thing ever! And your whooshes are legendary :D

[@merphynapier42]

The last story in Stars Above was the best one in my opinion! It was the one that made it all worth it.

[@hibaz5157]

Exactlyy

[@yusurkassem4174]

Yesss true

[@syndicateci526]

in order to overcome that TBR-pile-anxiety, I usually set a limit for myself; so for example I aim to have no more than 7 unread books on my shelves. And if I violate that I would like punish myself by not letting myself read the books I bought extraneously, until I finished the books I bought before them. Although, this may or may not be problematic if you are a mood reader.

[@oceans2mountains2]

I really like your shirt/sweater thing! Also, I love rain and reading during rain.

[@feliciya7152]

Oceans2mountains Yes 😂👏 reading when it is raining outside is the best. Thunderstorms are even better. Except when you are afraid of them I guess 😅

[@artemisnightfeather2634]

Feliciya oh my gods yes thunderstorms are amazing to read in

[@ashleyjoyes4425]

Oceans2mountains yeah me too

[@madelingarcia2915]

Oceans2mountains SAMEEEEE

[@nickia7578]

Rain is the BESTTTT + a good book? YESSSSS 😩 I just want to do that all day every day

[@iKaroliina]

I have 235 books on my bookshelf. 141 of these books I haven't read yet... And I still buy like 3 books per month but I read like 2 books per month... So this pile is constantly growing. Also many of these reads are rereads #NoRegrets I want to get rid of my old books but I can't abandon my old Twilight books that I have both in English and in Estonian. I can't get rid of books that sre nostalgic to me.

[@vanessahansmann2465]

This video is so comforting for some reason and idk it might be the bed but I like it

[@SamanthasBooks]

I'm currently rereading Fangirl :D I flip flop between wanting to get my TBR down but then also not feeling like reading any of the books I own, so then buying new ones and then also leaving those on my shelves for years too lol

[@pattsalas9666]

Rainy days are just perfect to read😅 I love this chill video 💜

[@jianinglin9410]

reading in the rain, curled up in you're bed, with a cup of tea is da BEST !!

[@jesse2767]

YES! I am also like that! I hate it when I get so stressed out over unread books, its so frustrating. Still happy that someone feels the same way and can relate to that. If you only get stressed out about all the books you need to read you will not enjoy reading that book. But as you say, it's not a first world problem, we have much bigger issues than that.

[@bat5092]

EXTRA EXTRA VIDEOS SO EXTRA EXTRA

[@pippinhart7340]

I love it when booktube videos are casual. It feels like everybody has to stand formally in front of a camera, talk in lists, have everything planned. But this has a vloggish charm I think book tube needs more of.

[@BethanyAngharads]

I'm so in love with these styles of videos where people just sit down, and chat. They seem so pure and true to self.

[@laneyliberty]

This is what I needed today!

[@axdja]

BrieTheHuman Agreed.

[@Bella5429]

loved this video 💕 right now i have two big piles on my desk of unread books and i just want to read half of those books soon, this way i can clear some space on my desk too!!

[@Merrymaidenart]

dhampirvonnie I have the same problem but I know I'll read them and make space and then reward myself by buying more books than I started with and have even less space

[@internetslothh]

diggin’ this more chill style of video, jesse! also, i totally relate to loving to read when it’s rainy lol. there’s something so calming about reading a good book with a hot drink and listening to the pitter patter of rain on your window :-)

[@DearlyFrances]

I told myself that I wouldn't buy ANY new books until I have finished reading everything on my tbr pile! I feel like a book has feelings. They are brought to our shelves with the anticipation of being read and it hurts me seeing a book not read. I think this is a good way to not only save money but also have more space for the books that be near and dear to your heart. In the future, I will keep a limit of 3 unread books on my shelf. As with audiobooks, they dont up not physical space so I'm okay with a lot of tbr's in that pile. Much love Jesse!

[@withcindy]

i love these type of chill chit chat videos! and YES to a darker shade of magic. i'm glad you're finally finishing up the trilogy!

[@nalini_coors]

I really loved the style of this video. Your videos always brighten up my day

[@bookboop]

So many feels in this vid :) 1. It was so chill I felt cooler watching it 2. I feel a primal call to read when it rains 3. Unread books on my shelf taunt me..... 4. I LOVE the sweatshirt. There was a time in my life when I listened to the Fantasmic soundtrack on repeat and I can still sing along word for word. I just revealed too much about myself......*face palm* regrets...

[@k-0316]

There are so many great uploads popping into my feed today, what a blessing.

[@arianairizarry3744]

I really like this style of video, it's more chill and relatable. It feels like you're just talking to a friend. You should do more videos like this that don't really require a lot of script, just talk about your recent book feelings.

[@floriebner3327]

I have already read "Under Rose Tainted Skies" and for me personally it was an eye-opening experience, as I got to know and learn a lot about mental disorders and the detailed writing really helped to understand the main character's struggles!

[@VinoVenitas]

I loved your energy. And I can understand the need to reduce your unread books. I always try to devour the book as soon as I get it.

[@18thdandelion]

Hi Jesse, your video is awesome with or without the whoosh. I also have this growing anxiety recently about my never dwindling pile of books. I am holidaying in Scotland now and have since purchased 10 books! Can't help myself. Current reads are The Hazel Wood and Voyager.

[@saturnsfalling9140]

I love reading while it's raining. For me it's so calming.

[@emilyeileen7]

I totally agree with you on King's Cage! But one day I just sat down and read all the pages, and I think it became more suspenseful the faster I read it. But it still wasn't the finale I wished for...

[@ayyy8057]

HE DIDN’T DO THE ‘WHOOSH’! OH NO, JESSE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY AN ALIEN!

[@lina5699]

A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC. YES. THAT SERIES IS SO GOOD

[@deargoldrush]

i do care about my unread books... I just try to hide most of them, so i don’t have to stress about it xd

[@katsugoii]

honestly, jesse. you are SO hilarious and entertaining. you’re just chilling in bed???? talking about books???? but i’m so INTRIGUED because you make everything so interesting 😭 wow

[@sydneyhamill9095]

I really appreciate this calmer approach to talking to your audience. I adore your usually high energy videos as well, but something about the conversational approach in this video really struck a chord! Can't wait for more videos like this!❤️❤️❤️

[@MSC444]

LOVE the laid back chill video idea. I’ve only watched a few minutes of it but i already want more vids like this lol

[@oceans2mountains2]

I only kind of care about unread books. It goes back and forth for me. One day I'll just think "I'll get to them one day" and the next day they're haunting me.

[@makayla8956]

I relate to the King's Cage part so much! It actually took me a long time to get through it because it seemed like the same thing over and over. The ending is definitely more exciting though.

[@elrilmoonweaver4723]

I just put everything I am not in the mood to keep going with in a special self called "On hold" and I pick them back up when I get in the mood to read them again. I don't have many books on my on-hold shelf, and those that are are usually 1st books in series I'm meaning to read.

[@imperatrice211]

I'm currently reading The Poppy War, Everything I Never Told You and So Many Ways to Begin and I'm really loving them all 😊 I always have a physical TBR pile on my bed stand with the books I want to read during the month but it really changes a lot from week to week (or sometimes even from day to day) x)

[@caliataryn5759]

I love how you had a whole conversation about “whooshing” 😂😂

[@alliefacio5802]

I seriously loved this video. It seemed very raw and real of you to want to just have a deeper conversation than normal. Loved it!

[@afangirlsbookshelf]

definitely agree with you about king's cage omgggg i'm reading war storm rn and it's like deja vu and i just can't

[@jessethereader]

oh no!! does that mean it’s hecka slow and boring too??

[@afangirlsbookshelf]

it was sooo slow for the first 350 pages and then it was finally picking up but i'm just annoyed because it's over 600 pages and the first half could've totally been cut in half but i was definitely getting bored for a while there

[@immortalazure]

Love this video. chilled! Know the stress of the TBR. I like waiting for the right moment for a particular book though, then I'll really appreciate and enjoy it. And often if its the end book of a series, once you've read it its over, so I like to keep the magic going.

[@sagathestoryteller7920]

Honestly on the topic of unread books, those books are sometimes the only thing that keeps me going some days. Like my mind tells me I have so many stories left to read that I have to keep reading. But I understand how it can be stressful because it can feel like a huge list of things that need to be done.

[@carmenv6928]

Love the format of this video! :D I also recognize what you said about the stress unread books can cause. I have a whole shelf with books I borrowed from my grandma two years back. Even though she doesn't really seem to matter, I feel the pressure building to give them back :/

[@zeina5272]

Hello! I haven't been reading as much these last two and a half years and finding your channel has motivated me back into reading + I've just purchased a few of the books you've mentioned in your recs video so thank you!!! lots of love xx

[@katiesbookcorner]

i want that mug. Also, agreed. A Darker Shade of Magic is a special gem that must be protected.

[@nadiahpattinson3182]

Jesse the books The Forgetting and The Knowing are SO GOOD you will love them they are AMAZING

[@muskansolankey399]

Hi jesse.. Yes i do agree its quite stressful to have so many unread books on the shelf. And it suntyms undermines your reading too.. But then i just cant stop myself buying more books 🙈

[@madiwinter7625]

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THE SHADES OF MAGIC SERIES

[@lilyclarke3308]

I totally understand what your saying about kings cage and its my favourite series. Its a very slow book but trust me the ending is worth it

[@GaiaSteinbuch]

What a great idea for a video :)! I loved Under Rose-Tainted Skies! I also loved A Darker Shade of Magic & the other two books (the second was my least favourite one though). I hope you enjoy the second and third book too :). My unread books don't bother me, I love buying books too much to seriously get my TBR down, and since I'm a huge mood reader, I feel like I need a huge TBR lol. I hope you'll be able to finish some of those books you started, but I totally get about being in the wrong mood to continue a book. I've been re-reading The Neutronium Alchemist by Peter F. Hamilton (The Night's Dawn book 2), for several months now. It's adult epic science-fiction and somehow I only read a few pages or a chapter at a time, then I want to go and read a different book. I've been more into YA contemporaries and into memoirs recently, and not so much into science-fiction and fantasy. The Night's Dawn trilogy is one of my favourite books, at least they were many years ago when I read them. And yet my mood is so not helping in re-reading this trilogy.

[@bettyreads222]

I totally unhauled a bunch of books I hadn't read this weekend as well; it felt so good to take them to the thrift store. So while I still have a bunch of unread books it's all things I want to read and I'll check back in at the end of the year to see how I feel. Sometimes I don't think it's worth it to keep pushing through a book that isn't working for you, go for it. I have 6 books on my bed that I'm currently trying to decide what I'm in the mood for, so I feel your struggle. Really dug this style of video Jesse. :)

[@dreaminginpastels]

Wow, I didn’t even realise how much I needed a video like this until now! It was so lovely just to have you sit and chat with us. Loved every second ♥️ Good luck with your TBR and current reads!

[@morganunraveled]

this is my kind of quality content. i love a chill talkin bout books sesh.

[@deargoldrush]

I’m actually rereading The Raven Cycle! I love reading this series in summer time, y’all these are perfect vacation books, don’t @ me also I’ve finished Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab few days ago and I’m still crying, help

[@LexicalTortoise]

My to be read pile is probably an entire shelf at least on my bookcase. It doesn't stress me out really. I see it as options because I'm quite picky about what I'm feeling like reading next.

[@carolinepaxtonsorensen4867]

I love this video format! You should definitely make more like this. I felt so chill and relaxed.

[@Meggalex]

for a REALLY long time, the idea of having a TBR book pile stressed me out so much that I just didn't have one. I just didn't have any type of system to know what I want to eventually read. The problem with that is whenever I finished a book I would never know what to read next and I would just walk around the library for an hour looking for a book, it wasn't very productive. But as of the end of 2017 (ish) I finally started using the "for later" shelf on my public library app which is an easier way to keep the books I want to read organized but without all the scary pressure of a TBR pile.

[@mihaelaanton9707]

I feel like everyone is stressed with their tbr and so often this leads to reading slumps ( aka the worst ), we should all learn to relax and enjoy our reading experience.

[@Graceisbored04]

OH MY GOSH THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER I CANT FINISH STARS ABOVE EITHER!!!

[@jesst8793]

I love this video! The vibes make me want to sit down, be cozy and read myself! Your opinions are very entertaining and I love getting this little update in your reading life☺️

[@bBooksBB]

I like having a lot of books that I have yet to read because it gives me a lot of options but then it also makes me feel bad because I got them for a reason so I should be reading them rather than letting them sit there.

[@Jazzonic]

My pile of unread books is so large now that if I think about it too much I get stressed out. So I don't think about it. I just display it and make my TBR and hope for the best because my mood changes so much, but I finished King's Cage and the next got me stuck because the intro takes so long to get through, so I don't know how much help that'll be. I finally finished part 1 of the poppy war and I need to just sit and read but I can't get myself to read for long periods of time like I used to. This vid is just what I needed, thanks. :)

[@EmilyCheetham]

It was a tad weighing on me at the beginning of the year when I had a huge pile of unread books. It Im getting/got rid of some (ones I was given and have no intention of reading as they either - didn’t interest me or they are part of a huge fit of books and I don’t want to commit to so many books) and then Iv also read a load of books. So I now finally have 1 book in my TBR list (until another arrives in the post this weekend ). Plus I have a few un-read books in a box packed for moving I intend to read in the future.

[@vilvin2893]

I like this type of video so much! So cosy and peaceful! Wish you were filming them more often!

[@LutherJKanso]

I don't really concern myself too much with TBRs or unread books because I consider reading as something that brings me tranquility and a sense of serenity rather than something that could bring me anxiety or unnecessary pressure. Being a mood reader like yourself, setting a TBR engenders this sentiment of obtrusive obligation upon me, and throughout time it begins accumulating impending portions that I begin to beat myself down for not having picked up the books I settled upon, so ultimately I just go for whatever book I'm in the mood for, whether that be a classic, a middle grade, YA, thriller, you name it. I found that this is the best way for me to not only read at leisure, but also enjoy the act of reading and not think about the other books that I still haven't read, because for as long as I'm living, I have a conviction that I'll read them, as I know they'll be waiting. Sorry for rambling on too long! 😅 I just really enjoyed your video; it was rather pleasing and relaxing, and I wanted to be a part of the chit-chat 😊

[@damaris8401]

I'm the type of reader that when i have a large tbr thats a good thing because it means i have more books to read and i'm not able to get a lot of books throughout the year. And when it's small that stresses me out because then i have nothing to read after that and i cant always go to my public library.

[@candyjill2156]

Its raining in my place too and Ive been reading all day. Just thought it would be cool to watch a bookish video and here you are posting something I really enjoyed! 😊

[@booktalkwithrae]

For me, I go in between being stressed out about my TBR and not caring. I think I get stressed out about it because I get a lot of grief from other people, my parents, my partner because I spend all this money on these books and they say well are you going to read them? Otherwise it’s a waste of money. Then I go into stages where I don’t care because that I think of it as when I want to read a book I have so many options and I’m not gonna sit there being like well I have nothing to read. So I totally get what you mean when you say you go in between being stressed and Non- stressed about it. Also I find right now there’s so many amazing author is coming out with amazing books in series that it’s hard to keep up with the books already on my TBR and adding books to my TBR. More books come out faster than I can read them! So I never actually make a dent!!

[@nadnadnadnad7133]

I personally like to think of my TBR as a lifetime TBR, as in I've got my whole life to read all these books. Much less stressful that way! Also, the last story in Stars Above is by far the best one so I hope you read it soon!

[@Alice-rc2hn]

I'm in two minds about my TBR Jesse. One: its incredibly stressful and seems like a perpetual game of catch up with everyone else who has long since read the books and I feel like I will never finish. Two: I know there are always good books (aka magic portals as you call them) for me to jump into.

[@lenap319]

I got my tbr pile to 5 books and have all of them at home and am reading them now. Feels like i have my life in control

[@fictionalives]

i've recently been trying to finish up all the books that i've been reading for way too long and it's,,, coming along. very slowly. i reeeeally loved this video!

[@angelaporter1809]

I also have a huge tbr pile. I try not to let it stress me. I also have a bunch o unfinished books. I am working mainly on those at the moment. Have made a good dent in it but still way too many.

[@diana-xn4fi]

i love this lol tbh i can't even remember how many books i have started and left unfinished and this reminded me to go and pick them up again so thanks jesse, i guess 😅

[@Caitsbooks]

Im so glad you liked Under Rose-Tainted Skies!!! Not enough people have read it. My anxiety and ocd is so similar to the main character’s (I was also reading during a time i was suffering symptoms of mild agoraphobia) and it is such an important book to me. I wish everyone would read it

[@alannasama777]

Rain reading is the best. My TBR pile is a massive problem. I'm currently reading Smoke in the Sun by Renee Ahdieh, and while I'm enjoying it, it is a slower read compared to Flame in the Mist.

[@lilasmith9679]

I was in 8th grade. The end of the year swiftly aproached and I was reading The Princess of The Midnight ball. Three chapters to go when i had to turn it in. I've now graduated highschool and haven't finished the book. Not quite the same thing but close enough.

[@silverwolfdraws9845]

ive always had a TBR pile, because i keep adding new books to it. so i dont really know the felling of getting to choose a new unknown book of your bookshef right after you finish the last one.

[@JadieRios]

UNREAD BOOKS STRESS ME OUT TOO AND YET I CAN’T SEEM TO STOP BUYING BOOKS

[@emlaur3000]

Coldest Girl in Cold Town is one of my faves!! Don’t stop! I listened to it on audiobook though and really liked the narration. Maybe try that?

[@pestobea]

Please make more videos like this, they’re very calming!

[@BrittvanVliet]

Omg the last story in Stars Above is so good!!

[@queenjazz3029]

I get nostalgic too when I think of the the 10th book in a series of unfortunate events I was at my dad's work he used to do cleaning in a store at night l

[@bookedbynina9013]

you are probably one of the cutest humans i’ve ever seen on youtube

[@lyssakay20]

I just finally read Kings Cage and War Storm. I definitely enjoyed Red Queen and Glass Sword a lot more than these two, but I did like them. The last chunk of Kings Cage is so good! One of my all time favorite scenes from the series is in the last chunk so definitely worth continuing!

[@zeina5272]

IVE JUST BINGED WATCH YOUR RECENT VIDEOS AND U JUST UPLOADED A NEW ONE HALLELUJAH

[@Chloelovestowrite98]

Love this video it’s so nice to watch a chill video where you chat about books you’ve read 😊📖

[@louisity]

I love the chill bed concept and chit chat (and a bit of venting out). Those books I saw in your Lexington vlog lolz!

[@lr7845]

I felt the same way about King's Cage! I couldn't even finish it... but I really should pick it up again!

[@ashleyjoyes4425]

L R yeah me too but i did finish it

[@SarahEsmaeWolfe]

I finished it but I wouldn't say it's worth it. I've lost interest in even reading War Storm but I feel like I should because I'm so close to the end.

[@interludegreywaren]

i love books, i love coffee, i love jesse, i love this editing, & i love this channel. anyone else?
