I DAMAGED MY BOOK! | READER VLOG

[@kaylahdavisofficial]

Damaging a book is like stubbing your toe. It hurts so freaking bad.

[@kaylahdavisofficial]

@Cathildis true

[@Sabrina-rl1xx]

Except the toe eventually stops throbbing. Book damage hurts again and again every time you see it. 😢

[@planetsj527]

Put the pain does go away after a while 😂😂

[@jackdonohue7893]

Sarah Beresford no it doesn’t. Every time you see the damage it comes back.

[@kazzzzzzzzzz6]

honestly jesse deserves a lot more subscribers, his editing and humor is so great i love it

[@AikiraBeats]

Yes he does

[@samanthacespon1344]

So Aesthetically Pleasing the beginning

[@pan-opticon]

If beautiful book covers could make your skin clear I’d be a glass window by now...

[@omarhatem9575]

Wow you have been uploading *alot* lately Keep up the good work! I love your videos.

[@thearabellashow3555]

**a lot** lol you knew someone would say that

[@nihal.k2411]

Cause he was away for a while

[@sabrina-ib3rl]

don’t mind me, just appreciating how much jesse puts in to making his videos so gorgeous

[@pan-opticon]

**sees title** **gasps** **dies**

[@amandareadsss4128]

You being excited about your 'chapstick haul' and then dropping it right on the ground is such a mood

[@alizzi]

I really loved how we got to see this journey in snippets through instagram stories first and now we are kind of getting a narrative for the pictures (if that makes sense). The reading vlogs are everything, they're not only inspiring me to read and write more, but feel like a safe spot I always can come to for destressing, so thank you!

[@chazf]

I want to read Romanov because I’m real curious about that ancient smell 😂

[@madeleineg.k.3119]

Your editing is awesome! (I'm also a little jealous of the spring weather you have -- it's been all over the place where I live😂) I hope you have a good week! Ok a couple more things: 1) this video was so peaceful, and I loved it! 2) Those bunnies were so so cute!

[@erincarlson7803]

Love the spring aesthetic. Killing it❤️

[@howdy_rylee5934]

PLEASE TELL ME A BIG LIST OF THE MUSIC YOU LITEN TO ITS SO CALMINGGGGG

[@lostinabookcase3796]

What's that song?? "Fight all the monsters..." I liked it!!

[@sarahvm5478]

I would love a song list from you! Love your music!

[@jaceyrae249]

Wytheville VA is about 30 minutes from my old home town and I got such good vibes from watching this video. Thank you for that Jesse ☺️

[@joybelle5888]

I live close to Wytheville! It is so cool to see you here/there!

[@lienbackx2572]

Your video's are always so well edited, I love it!

[@DodgerFanAD_23]

Your videos are really calming , and I like you sense of humor 🤪📚

[@maggiespages]

the aesthetic of these vlogs is just incredible

[@aprilbancroft9705]

This brought back memories for when I used to live in Virginia! Beautiful vlog!

[@alexia0707]

You should make a playlist of your vlog songs I love them

[@sarahmirzayee5367]

I wish I could read but honestly school is just telling me "No you don't got time for reading you read that book you gonna fail that test so don't do it!!" I save these videos for the 20 minutes I spend watching TV a day. Gosh I want school to end so I can get caught up on my reading

[@f.a.3081]

I had the same problem and it just sucked so I said fuck it and just started reading. How I do it is basically whenever I have like 15 minutes, I read. For example that could be in the bus/train, in the waiting room when I go to a doctor, during lunch when I finish eating and still have a few minutes, before class starts. By doing this I am able to read and still not fail at school. Of course reading like this isn‘t the fastest way to finish a book, but it‘s still really enjoyable, especially if you miss reading books. :)

[@lu.theauthor]

Me too!I haven't read because school has been stressful with a lot of work

[@oksnariel]

I live in Virginia and have never heard of Wytheville so I looked it up and its over 4 hours away from me haha. I live in the very tip top of VA though so I understand.

[@littlecupofsuga4459]

This vid was so relaxing! I really loved the music :) for anyone who wants to know, the song at 8:00 is called 'Forget about yourself'- by The Eastern Plain and the song at 10:38 is called 'Call it a day' - by Tommy Ljungberg. I loved the music so much I searched for it lol, anyway here you go enjoy.

[@8mdg8]

Esma Yaakoub thank you very very much!!!!

[@zeryyyyy6835]

Lol it was raining all last week in the uk where I live but this week it is lovely and warm

[@TayanaZook]

WHO ELSE LOVES HIM BTW I'm a KZbinr too!

[@lilyroset1494]

Saw this and followed ❤️

[@styxthistle497]

Now where have I seen this comment before...

[@left125]

Thorne of Lacuna She posted a similar comment on Christine’s and Hailey’s channels

[@mahomiesknees1240]

Haven’t u posted this same comment before on this channel Do you just want people to follow u I’m so confused Stop plugging

[@thegoldenchild740]

Subscribed to you

[@Spicy-Raven]

8:00 what is that song??? I LOVE IT

[@AishaDT]

Forget About Yourself - The Eastern Plain

[@veran4367]

The music you're using sounds amazing! I can imagine it's very nice to listen to during reading, not really distracting. What are the songs called? Btw - I really like your little filmed parts in between, the ones with the music, it somehow adds something to the vlog and I like it :)

[@jeffblimisinahurry]

Much Ado About Nothing is such a great play! Although I do recommend seeing/watching it somehow rather than just reading it. The story is much more entertaining and easier to understand when you watch it performed rather than reading it to yourself. :)

[@leslieisepic]

Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite comedy by Shakespeare (also 10 Things I Hate About You was inspired and retold from this play). I read this back in 12th grade for Drama.

[@HEMoniz]

Jesse your presence instantly increases my mood. Stay happy and positive❤️

[@RebeccaMarrion]

I just wanted to say I'm new to your channel and too booktube but I'm so glad I found you I love your videos and spending time with you. Your so funny and kind and you make me smile thanks for being so amazing 💕

[@adinarizwan6509]

His videos are amazing....and the beginning was so beautiful!!!!

[@4846brianna]

Im like conflicted because sometimes breaking a spine or bent pages is beautiful in its own way. It shows its been loved and carried around. Its kinda like another story. But like perfectly un ruined books are just as beautiful it's hard

[@nihal.k2411]

When i read a classic, i like it to be a little old looking, cause you get that old feel from it.

[@katierose9501]

That intro was so aesthetically pleasing ohmygod

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

You need to visit Williamsburg.

[@sjoukjevandenberg7227]

I love your videos.....and the “chapstick haul”/ beauty guru moment was hilarious!!!!!!!

[@arn2317]

This was so pretty! I love your editing!! I have the same STAR LABS sweatshirt 😅😅😅😅

[@HannahReadsFiction]

I understand the pain of accidentally damaging a book, I did something like that with my bass last night and accidentally nicked it on my music stand, but you can’t really notice it. Chapstick haul needs to be a thing now!

[@louisity]

Love the editing!!! Love the inserted sound effects.

[@saraha198]

this video is A M A Z I N G !!! good job Jesse👏👏. you always come up with great ideas for your videos and I really admire your hard work and the effort you put in your videos💛💛💛. keep on the good work💛

[@Universeofka]

What song did you use in this? It’s so chill, I love it!! Also you know you’re in the US when a super small town has a wallmart and a starbucks in it. Loved the starlabs sweatshirt! Oh and you should try to iron the dust jacket. Just put some parchment paper over it and dont let the iron get too hot!

[@misty31d47]

I felt so bad because I kicked my book off the armrest on a chair with my foot by accident. RIP book 📖

[@legallyfinn3816]

Why yo foot on your armrest

[@misty31d47]

Because my legs kept cramping probably idk but why not 😂

[@legallyfinn3816]

Misty 31 :D fair enough

[@legallyfinn3816]

Misty 31 :D they should make a leg rests so you don’t misuse the armrest 😾

[@misty31d47]

@@legallyfinn3816 well it was an old leather armchair and I had socks on so...😹

[@lniemi9792]

I had to order Romanov even though the shipping costs were CRAZY. I love Anastasia retellings and I can’t wait for it to arrive so I can get into it!!!

[@minameme2197]

Lotta Niemi big book store chains often offer to order books for you and u can save tons of shipping! It’s what i have been doing for a looong time, because i’m cheap

[@lniemi9792]

Mina Meme Nice! I live behind God’s butt in northern Europe and there’s only one small bookstore in my town. I’ve asked them to order books for me before but they just order from Amazon and make me pay for it so I figured I’d just order the books myself haha

[@real_jjk4647]

Who else loved the lip balm haul with the swatches and stuff?? XD Also, Jesse please put the Alex Rider series on your TBR list (I'm sorry! I know you have a buttload of books on there already, but please read this series when you can!)Also, if you need video ideas, you could review them. I would love to hear your opinion on the books! Keep Reading! X

[@claraswearingen8390]

This is just what I needed on this manic Monday. I love all your videos Jesse they make my heart smile.

[@krissyn.3366]

Ok, so this is my favorite vlog of yours so far! You seemed very relaxed and comfortable. Your sense of humor shines through in a natural way. You got some beautiful outdoor shots. Great job Jesse!!

[@xhebax9004]

Try ironing your book where it is damaged. I have tried it once and it worked, but just put a some sort of layer (fabric/napkin) between the iron and the book to prevent any ink leaking. Also, your vlog is stunning; I love it!

[@jaziybabe]

Definitely read Much Ado About Nothing! I think it might be my favorite Shakespeare (I haven't read all of his plays but I have read a few) its so funny!!! I would also highly recommend the No Fear Shakespeare editions. They have original text along with common language and its so helpful!

[@georgia8911]

My family stopped in Wytheville on our way down for vacation! It’s actually where my grandfather’s family is from! So cool that you stopped there 😁

[@BreakevenBooks]

I love finding random bookstores in my travels! It is one of my favorite things to do when visiting a new place.

[@katiesbooksandstuff1711]

I have family in Virginia! I visit every summer.😊

[@ItsDaniDee]

the beginnings of your vlogs are always so aesthetically pleasing...it's wonderful and I appreciate it. I wish I had those filming/video/editing skills.

[@immortalazure]

I am terrible at pronouncing things especially place names. Great video, really enjoyed watching it.

[@witheredahlia]

does someone know the song starting from 10:37 ? i love it!

[@aubrievivant7155]

It’s Call It A Day by Tommy Ljungberg :)

[@averygriffith4199]

📚!RECOMMENDATION!📚 Here Lies Daniel Tate is a book I recently read. It is a young adult thriller. OMG it has EVERYTHING. A mysterious protagonist, drug and alcohol abuse, lgbtq representation, everything! The concept is hard to explain but I highly recommend!

[@thedreamerthatdreams]

Which song is that at 8:00 !!? I love it.. anyone??

[@james3891]

Love the Star Labs sweatshirt. I own the same one and I’m OBSESSED with the show The Flash. Favorite character? Caitlin Snow

[@cheyennea.2746]

I did want to read Romanov as it sounded good! Haven't bought it yet but I want to!

[@Callmekatielee]

Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite of Shakespeare’s plays. Read it, and watch the Kenneth Branagh film starring Emma Thompson, which is PHENOMENAL.

[@paigeatkinson6182]

I was going to say the same thing! I adore the book and movie.

[@urmom-ye4cr]

I came here first when he was talking about city of bones.. oh god..time flies... jesse please continue doing vlogs/review or whatever you like and makes you happy,remember that you should be happy making these videos not thinking what makes US happy,just needed to say that.. good luck!

[@saiyuriinuzuka6400]

But Tennessee is beautiful too! But you can see a good bit by driving through. :)

[@MadinaMakulbekova]

Your videos make me feel so calm and happy :) and also motivated to read books! (and maybe even make videos myself)

[@m.k6419]

Ok but we all gasped when we read the title of this video😂

[@kaitlin4176]

I had to read Much Ado for my year 10 English class and it's actually one of the stories that got me into more classic literature, would recommend as it's not too heavy :)

[@pan-opticon]

Me: **dreaming **0:17** peacefully** Me: **turns over in bed and thinks I’ll have a good sleep** Alarm: *-bOi WaS shE Wr0nG!-* Me: **falls off bed slamming my alarm on the floor with me cause y not?**

[@lemoncandyx]

You are such a mood, i love watching all of your videos again and again, they always make my day so much better^^ thanxs for that Jesse

[@shahadzubailah8423]

As always you upload vlogs with great content. Fantastic!

[@megancastleman5331]

Everything about this video from the editing to the filming was AMAZING! 🤩🤩

[@cecelialefgren3208]

I have to have chapstick too! I like Burt's Bees though. Also, Virginia is beautiful. I love visiting.

[@mariekjanssen]

I am definitely planning on reading How To Make Friends With The Dark!!!!

[@eggdubu]

Have you read `girl in pieces’ by the same author, Kathleen Glasgow?

[@timelordess1]

Star Labs jumper. I want one. Also such an aesthetically pleasing vlog Jesse!

[@EmilyCheetham]

Jesse try taking the dust jacket off the book and put the white side facing up/cover side facing down on an ironing boarding without letting the iron stay in one place iron the cover for a few seconds. If need be turn over and iron again. As long as the iron keeps moving and you don’t do it for too long (no more than 5-10 seconds then the iron shouldn’t make any mark on the cover. Iv flattened things with an iron before.

[@Zleatherman_34]

In a reading slump lately trying to get into a book that'll suck me back into the wonderful world's I know

[@bbekka145]

A Star Labs sweatshirt!!!! That makes me so happy! Ahhhh that makes me love you so much more!

[@silviac.1554]

a little bit of me dies every time i damage a book

[@debralavoie9095]

Such a beautiful video!

[@climbinguphill]

Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite Shakespeare play, highly recommend at least watching an adaptation of it!

[@LanaJean1996]

Much ado is my fave Shakespeare, you should read it or at least give it a go for sure 😊

[@kharagillock8467]

Yes writing. I almost gave up on my story cause its not really the most originall story ever but its not exactly the same as other books but it finally has that somewhat contemporary feel to it with a little bit of fantasy

[@meg3734]

I saw the title and gasped really hard. Damaging a book is like walking against a door it hurts so much

[@tydei5533]

You have such a calm aesthetic it’s amazing

[@belovedbenton]

I love Much To Do About Nothing. It was my favorite Shakespeare novel that I had to read in high school. You should check it out

[@bgchaz]

I was going to tell you how to pronounce that, but you got it. It was great to meet you in Dallas at Christine's book signing and have a short conversation with you after the signing and pictures were taken with her (Still haven't found any of your lost books). I totally meant to get you pulled in beside her to take a picture with the three of us, but maybe next time. Happy reading.

[@mayczii]

Beautiful content, each video you are getting better and better. Keep it 💞

I freaking love the Romanov family. I was named after the mother and Anastasia so I feel connected

[@crunchyycarrot359]

lol jesse said chapstick 13 times in this video.... lol love him

[@sophiacailan7305]

Ascetic goals! But man damaged books not fun! Happens to me sometime because of my backpack! :( But I guess is shows how I love them lol

[@hannahcurran3838]

The song at the end is Call it a Day by Tommy Ljungberg! :)

[@bigonbooks4736]

I literally just found out about "Romanov". I LOVE Anastasia/Romanov fiction/non-fiction...I hope you do a review of that. I'm going to read it but I want to hear your thoughts, too.

[@greerpatterson9752]

Omg you have a star labs jumper!!!

[@laceyridenhour3897]

I recommend watching one of the film adaptations for Much Ado. They are both very good and plays are so much better as a visual medium!

[@maisieella8455]

I love your channel so much💓
