Jesse’s Checklist: ✅ Being Attacked ✅ Being Called Out ✅ Being Exposed

[@kello.jello9]

got “you DNF like there’s no tomorrow” which is definitely true, if i’m not enjoying it i’m not reading it right then

[@astoldbykat]

"You Sacrifice Sleep to Read" and with the right book it's definitely accurate.

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

This should have been mine!

[@tay_rizul]

I got the same one and it’s so true! I loveeee reading before bed

[@ndehadlsr]

"You Buy More Than You Can Read" so so true for me.

[@Colaman112]

Same...

[@rastislavsebesta3047]

Same for me

[@ishitaasen3733]

Same

[@stevenramirez8007]

My result was "You'd rather live in books than reality"

[@kzeender]

Okay, that would be my red flag. But that's not what I got.

[@SerenaRosetail]

I got the same result 😂

[@fnw100]

Same

[@stevenramirez8007]

But like, is this really a red flag, tho??? 😂😂

[@josem552]

Who wouldn't?

[@juliaomelchenko1132]

"You'd Rather Live In Books Than In Reality" was my result🤩

[@juliesbooklandreviews]

This was mine as well

[@missathepandabear]

same! And I really can't deny it, I have often said this same thing myself lol

[@jelina5892]

Same

[@weflyyofcourse9110]

I got 'you sacrifice sleep to read' and as a mother of 3 let me tell you - YES. Just yes. Would love to see more bookish quizzes, this was a fun video and I'm so glad I found your cosy channel!

[@Kay-wp8xf]

My result was DNF like no tomorrow, too! I've DNF'd a lot of books recently, and it's been so good for me honestly.

[@VicandWes]

I got “you DNF like there's no tomorrow” but I don't DNF books normally

[@szgatigress4226]

Same here. I don't usually dnf, only when I genuinely don't like it, which doesn't happen too often.

[@jazzie5478]

Me too. And I answered the first question with "Muddle through...", so how does that fit together? 😅

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

Same! 😂

[@estack24]

Same!

[@mariepotter8921]

One of my red flags for me is if they mention any current social media! As soon as TikTok gets mentioned, I turn it down. It’s referenced everywhere, and it annoys me lol 😂

[@LilianaE]

I am the same way! All the hype has the opposite effect on me 😂

[@mariepotter8921]

@@LilianaE right??!!! 😂

[@faithfan27]

I got "You Buy More than You Can Read." "Ah, don't we all? Your bank account may judge you, but I am an endless-TBR enabler, so go off! Those bookshelves aren't going to fill themselves!" This is me. 100%. 😂

[@Hadeshy]

Why do other people get things I do and I got DNF that I almost never do?

[@timelord1040]

I got the "You Buy More Than You Can Read" result, and it's 100% accurate for me, considering I own over 800 books now....

[@choco1199]

📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

[@rjbarnett23]

I took the quiz and got “You Forget (Almost) Everything You Read” which I don’t think is true for the most part. Occasionally if I start a series but new books are coming out I’ll reread it so I can understand the context for the new book. But I can remember the plot lines of books from year ago without having to reread them.

[@Hadeshy]

Omg this is so me i_i

[@joebloe4734]

Same, but like, I'm not sure it's true? When I interrupt my reading, I generally remember what I'm reading when I pick it back up, even if it's been months. I rarely reread, because my memory is too good. Just, my executive memory is awful, and I will forget to read and where I've put my books.

[@francescakyanda9182]

People who remember plot details are elite

[@JessNipper]

So called out by this result: ‘you buy more than you can read’! Too true!!!!

[@becky9194]

I got “you DNF like there’s no tomorrow”. So true - there are way too many books I want to read to waste my time on a book I don't click with.

[@Earl-Grey-Tea]

"you'd rather live in books than reality" so true lol

[@Bear_the_shepherd]

I got "You'd Rather Live In Books Than In Reality" absolutely correct and I'm not ashamed of it! The world is difficult sometimes and my real world problems don't always have a clear ending, I can see how long a book is and I can detatch if i need to. I remove myself from real life problems with books and i remove myself from book problems with real life, that's probably my red flag.

[@chelsey8737]

I got "you DNF like there's no tomorrow" too which is actually really fitting for me because I do butt it makes no sense becaude I answered differently on almost every question??

[@francescakyanda9182]

“You DNF like there’s no tomorrow” and proud of it! If I don’t wanna read it or I don’t have the energy, I’ll put it back on my TBR or ditch it completely 😌

[@megankelly2048]

I also got “You’d rather live in books than reality”! It’s very true. I love enemies to lovers, touch her and die trope with good plot line. I want the angst and spice with adventure and great quotes!! 🥰🤓📖📚

[@hayashaikh8159]

Your reaction to that result was so valid. I was like , hunh- that’s it? 😂

[@cloudprince0]

I got "You buy more books than you can read' and I've never felt so attacked in my life. Love it

[@lilysdreamworld6386]

I also got "You DNF like there's no tomorrow" which is so ironic cause i don't think i have ever dnfed a book

[@augustpiccolo]

I took the quiz and I got I DNF… they’re not wrong

[@girlwithoutafairy]

This gave me "You DNF like there's no tomorrow" I don't. I think i can count the number of books I've DNFed on one hand.

[@Elizabethb619]

I got the same result as you... but I also don't DNF super often?? 😅 I also answered some of the questions differently so I'm not sure how they came to that conclusion lol

[@livvypassion]

I got "you sacrifice sleep to read,' and it said "we'll sleep when we're dead, am i right?" and YES that is SO ACCURATE. When i first saw the title i thought of all the times I stayed up till 3am to finish a book... 😅😂

[@amandawarren9941]

I got "You Forget (Almost) Everything You Read," which is true and why I reread books I loved all the time.

[@annmoore321]

I got “you forget almost everything you read”. Nope! Not even close. 😂 I think it’s because I clicked on an answer that mentions my love of rereading. I don’t reread because I forget things. I reread because I remember details about a book that make me long to immerse myself in it again.❤

[@touche5616]

I got this one too, and I don't reread ever. I think it was because I selected that I soon forget about books I lend out. I guess I can't expect a silly quiz to be accurate.

[@user-xm2we5fe7y]

DNF like there's mord tomorrow. I don't feel like I do it too often, I either have to force myself to read it or forget to pick it up again, but that's what you get studying philology 😅

[@carolineknightley6405]

Pretty accurate bookish red flag quiz result for me 😂 Totally being called out: "You'd rather live in books than reality"

[@dianaisme]

My result was "You DNF Like There's No Tomorrow" aswell. I do dnf alot but I don't know if it's alot

[@im_just_vidu]

I relate to you about loving quizzes and getting called out

[@HieiIsMINE]

Mine was "We'll sleep when we're dead, am I right?" And I feel called out!

[@sdg3639]

I got ‘ You Sacrifice Sleep to Read’ ….which is accurate, unfortunately. Yes to more Bookish Quiz content!

[@andieland1923]

My result was that I'd rather be reading than be in reality and I'm like...yeah? Isn't that true for every reader? That's why we read.

[@jenniealba75]

”You’d rather live in books than in reality”. ❤

[@breeeeeaaathofthewild]

I love taking these quizzes too! even when they're terrible 😂😂 also your channel makes me laugh and smile, thanks for that 💙💙 I got "You'd Rather Live In Books Than In Reality"

[@mindofprentiss]

I got “You DNF like there’s no tomorrow” but the reality is I don’t dnf even when i hate what I’m reading lol 😅

[@PokhrajRoy.]

This was a quick turnaround from that community post.

[@choco1199]

What did it say? 😯

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@choco1199 What were the subscribers’ bookish red flags?

[@josem552]

The come back to it later vs muddle through is the hardest for me. For example, I couldn't muddle through Dune and I finally read it after two attempts but I also think that I wouldn't have read many awesome books if I hadn't muddled through them. Ahh it's so hard to choose hahaha

[@dobetterwithchristian4472]

I too got "dnf like there's no tomorrow", and while I dnf a bit, I muddle through way more. Especially if it's an audiobook. Just crank up the speed and find out how it ends.

[@jaziybabe]

I got “you buy more than you can read.” And I just started cackling because yep 🙈 the 250-300 unread books on my shelves would agree with you…I refuse to face that reality that probably will never get to all of them 😅 so yes, I feel attacked!!!! (And these videos or fun, do them if you enjoy them 🤠 not all the time, but they are a good, fun break to mix things up here and there)

[@stephaniegraves5379]

I got you sacrifice sleep to read which is very true

[@HieiIsMINE]

Whenever I get to a spot that's emotional or confusing, I'll pause and have a conversation with myself about what's happening and where I think it's going. Then jump back in. 😅 If someone is in the room when it happens, they are unintentionally drawn into this conversation.

[@BrandontheBeldam2993]

I got "You forget (almost) everything you read" which is a weird result for me. Because it feels like my brain is like a information inferno, things go in, they processed and they're quickly incinerated. In the case of books I've read though..even years ago, If I reread them, the information is always there like a steel trap. I do love a good reading date with meeting someone at a park and just bringing a meal and reading together.

[@stasishuleva1149]

Same Jesse got the same result and as a moody reader I wouldn’t say I dnf books I just set them aside for like me in 4 years

[@RDWheat]

Book Riot quizzes are so fun! My bookish red flag is that I'll breeze through most of a book I'm enjoying, then slow down or stop near the end because I don't want it to be over 😅

[@xEmmaberryx]

I got “you DNF like there’s no tomorrow” which is just a call out at this point. Last year I dnf'd a few books in a short space of time, and I just dnf'd a series I was rereading. The series I just wasn't reaching for books 4 or 5, and I want to make sure I'm reading stuff I want to, rather than sticking it out for the sake of completion (I did enjoy the series when I was 16/17, but at (almost) 26 it isn't my chosen genre anymore).

[@the_reading_apprentice]

My result was You forget (almost) everything you read: Good for you! You can enjoy books more than once. You reread books you forgot you read before and enjoy them again the second time around. Red flag? More like a blessing! Honestly, pretty accurate for me.

[@thebookchatter3074]

“You DNF like there’s no tomorrow”. I don't though. I am rarely a quitter 😅

[@pi-nn5qg]

Jesse either ghost you for months or he makes u obsessed for him in few days man is uploading like woooooowwwww😅

[@ophelia4979]

I got the "You'd rather live in books than in reality" and well that's kind of true if it's a great book, others, I prefer reality, hahaha

[@fishbowlwoman]

I got the DNF one, too, but in my case it’s totally accurate! 😂

[@kathleenbarron6001]

"You Buy More Than You Can Read" was mine. Which is very accurate.

[@jasmin2186]

I got "you dnf like there's no tomorrow" and since i actually started doing that at the tail-end of last year I'd say it's correct 😊

[@sarahno899]

More quizzes please 😊

[@kaleighmagnant]

"I buy more books than I can read" ain't that the truth 😂

[@alyh3721]

I didn't know you were still making videos! I remember your vids from many years ago :)

[@136bluemoon]

Just found your channel. You're love for books is just the best! Love your reaction to everything- just so honest. I am a library addict. I'm slowly going to check out 50 books at one time (that's the full amount; I know, right? It'a not enough!). But, then I'll ask for interlibrary loan books and since those show up at random, I'll only check out 40. I'm allowed 10 interlibary loans.

[@Qrtze.e]

LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AHHH

[@Kiwichook.]

I got - you DNF like there’s no tomorrow! FACTS 😂

[@the1disaster]

I also got "you DNF like there's no tomorrow" but for me it's actually accurate lol. I am very quick to DNF books, my logic being that if I was meant to read it, I'll keep thinking about that book later down the line, which I take as my sign to give it a second try. If I DNF and forget, I probably did the right thing

[@tonichantelle9661]

i sacrifice sleep to read....this is soooo true then i wonder why i am always tired and grumpy! haha but i mean I have to adult and work so when re my babies meant to get attention but of my precious evenings!

[@millieb3823]

I got the same Jesse aha but honestly i do dnf, not often but just when I know it isnt going to work out...i have too many books to be stressing over ones i dont like hahah

[@LyraValley]

I got "You dnf like there's no tomorrow" and I really don't. Last year I dnf'd like two books from fifty-ish.

[@blueeyestyrantdragon]

I somehow got “You DNF like there is no tomorrow” and I rarely DNF a book, i probably dnf a 2 or 3 books last year and one this year

[@szgatigress4226]

Mine was: "You DNF like there's no tmrw" but I only have 11 dnfs over the course of almost 10 years now. I commit to books, soooo that one was actually the opposite

[@clarah4917]

I got "you'd rather live in books than in reality" understandable

[@queenkim8631]

My result was "You'd Rather Live In Books Than In Reality" True😂

[@LilTheLah]

Yay, a new bookish quiz! My result was: "you'd rather live in books than in reality". Not sure if that is a red flag per se but it is accurate for sure. Thank you for always sharing these fun quizzes!

[@pamelakibildis1177]

My Results: “You Buy More Than You Can Read” Which Fits Me Perfectly Lol 😂

[@vvivacious101]

I also got - You DNF like there is no tomorrow. Which is accurate but surprisingly I answered the first question with muddle though cause I’m no quitter because I’m in that position with my current read and so far that is my approach, even though usually I can DNF like there is no tomorrow.

[@antaramitra8210]

"You sacrifice sleep to read" i feel attacked

[@wickerlibrary]

i ALWAYS stop reading (unless interrupted) only at like a page break, end of chapter, etc. idk i just cannot stop in the middle of a section it just feels wrong (this is also probably why i hate books formatted with crazy long chapters now that i think of it)

[@charlie8379]

I also got the DNF result. I don't DNF!! I One Direction my books - left on DEFINITELY NOT PERMANENT hiatus!

[@katytargaryen3873]

My results were- You Buy More Than You Can Read. Which feels true some. I don't buy often but I will put off reading books I think I will enjoy or take my time reading a book.

[@EHogrefe]

I got „You forget everything you read, (almost)“ I‘m a bit confused as well. I usually have more trouble remembering my the answers to the science test I just studied for, than I do remembering that one book I read 5 years ago. (Like I remember the entire plot.) This quiz was underwhelming. 😂

[@erinsbooks]

I got the same result. And I don't get it either, because I rarely do that.

[@emmadavis9020]

Weird! I somehow got DNF Like There's No Tomorrow....which I don't do much at all. Swore I would get Buy More Than I Can Read, which would've been hurtful but true. 🤣🤣

[@anotheroneofthecrowd9379]

I got “Buy More Than You Could Read” which is equally funny as it is painfully true. I did not read a single book in January, but I bought 43 books 😂😭😭

[@candacecelestine2662]

Apparently, "I Buy More Than I Can Read" 😊❤

[@Mila-tm1ns]

I got DNF. I do soft DNF quite a bit, so I guess its accurate, but it takes a lot for me to hard DNF a book

[@angelamccollister]

I got "you buy more than you can read." Yep, I feel attacked now. Lol

[@sabihasayeed1670]

"You DNF like there's tomorrow. As you should! Life's too short to read books you don't like, so embrace that DNFing soul." This is one red flag I am proud of. I would have to finish the book at all costs before. Forced myself out of that habit. I think that old habit is the bigger red flag hahaha.

[@marenwithanm7091]

I got the same, i "dnf" like there's no tomorrow. Which for me is definitely true lol. Sometimes I even do it by accident. Somehow I just completely forget i started reading a book and never come back to it because I forgot lol

[@janievalgunn]

I got “You'd Rather Live In Books Than In Reality”, not sure if this is a red flag but like who wouldn’t 😂

[@zoea4639]

“You buy more books than you can read” but it’s not my fault that I work full time and also watch tv to relax too…..

[@itsnoterica]

I got “you DNF life there’s no tomorrow” but I literally have such a problem w DNF’ing that I need to actively remind myself it’s ok to DNF 😂

[@nobodynoone4]

"You DNF Like There's No Tomorrow" ... I have literally never in my entire life DNFed a book. (Or, like, three books because of real life issues and I had not time to continue even though I liked them.) But the quiz tried, I guess xD

[@aliciamcdowell4711]

I took the quiz and I got the same results you did about dnfing books and I'm okay with that. Because there are times I don't finish a book

[@mallory4879]

I chose “muddle through because I’m no quitter” for the first question and then my result was “DNF like there’s no tomorrow”…. underwhelming indeed.

[@AvidBookworm]

I got I buy more books than I will ever have more time to read.... which honestly tracks.

[@AliseBrenae]

Omgg, We got the same answer(and I didn’t really agree with it either,I have a hard time dnfing books as well,I just started really dnfing books this year 😢) 😅

[@courtsavage]

I got "You Buy More Than You Can Read" and there is no lie. This is why I am also on a book buying ban lol

[@christinelareads]

I got the same, but I definitely do DNF like there's no tomorrow.

[@ToLiveWrite]

"You Buy More Than You Can Read" 😬 A bit too on the nose.

[@jessicaable5095]

Every single other option feels more true to me. Dnf was the least accurate, but that's the one I got 😭 Seriously, none of my answers suggested that. I literally said I will stubbornly muddle through my books. I said I get lost for hours. How did I not get the "lives more in books than real world" answer?

[@Kate-vc9ci]

I also got the DNF one which didn't make sense because I don't DNF that much.

[@ZmsArt]

“You buy more than you can read” Fair, but I don’t agree with the phrasing ‘CAN’ read. Watch me! Lol
