2:23 I'm sorry when I heard this, all I could think of was this SoC meme I saw. Wylan: How do I defeat my enemies? Inej: Uh... kill 'em with kindness! Kaz: That's an interesting name for one of your knives, Inej.

[@jessethereader]

LOLOL. Amazing!

[@sthirukk]

OMG, that quote on the Percy Jackson tin is Sally's quote, illumicrate being quoting a real goddess here.☺️

nail oil helps hydrate your nails and cuticles usually people use it when using nail polish remover

[@babypigmd9450]

Hey, congrats of 400k!!

[@jessethereader]

ty!

[@catboymreeow6043]

ahhh! I'm so happy about We Hunt the Flame being there! I really liked the story, and can't wait for the sequel. Hafsah Faizal really drew me in with the characters, and it's kind of funny how I found out about her book. Way before it came out my brothers friend told his group chat about his sister's book that was going to come out. Me, loving books, got really excited. I forgot about for a while until the book finally came out, and tried to go in without any bias, and I ended up really loving it! TL;DR: turns out the author is my brother's friends sister and I hope her books get all the love!

[@arushiverma1672]

I just want to say that I know its not a books I've read not so recently video but i just wanted to pop in and say jesse, the way you criticise books and are so honest about them please never stop doing that i love it when you go crazy about the same books I've read but also that i wanna be a writer someday and getting honest opinions on books is really hard these days and i love the way you are not scared to say something controversial or unpopular about a famous book because let's be real we love you jesse

[@JamesLawner]

Loved that book tin and shiny art print, and that book sounds exactly up my alley.

[@eadsk99]

Oh I LOVEEEE bookshelves with knickknacks all over them! I feel like they look a lot more personalized with fandom things, but that's just my opinion. I personally have a billion funko pop figures scattered around my shelves, lol

[@emblogger7658]

Great video! Warbreaker is one of my favorite books of 2020 so far. One good thing that happened this year :D I'm currently rereading the Lunar Chronicles and having the best time with it

[@ava-sj5cr]

I FINALLY BROUGHT SIX OF CROWS (cuz Jesse kept ranting bout it) AND I LOVE ITTTTTTT THANK YOUUU

[@savvyanimates3797]

the book tin shows up Jesse: I need this but I don't like seeing myself

[@jessethereader]

lolol

[@paytafeyd3200]

That is the exact same reason why I wanted to read We Hunt the Flame! The fan art got me.

[@eryng515]

jesse is literally one of the best youtubers on youtube and the best booktuber you can’t change my mind.. like ever 🤩

[@shazmatazz6769]

I SECOND THIS

[@ella_melchionna]

Shaista Kataraki I...third this?

[@shazmatazz6769]

Ella M haha yessss that sounds right!

[@Emma-bz3we]

YES TO THE NAIL THING!

[@alisarobles8000]

I HIGHLY recommend We Hunt the Flame!!! It's soooo good!!

[@catboymreeow6043]

yes!! I agree!!

[@emxry]

Me just waiting for Sabaa Tahir to appear and seeing the mistborn series: Yes- I still need to finish the series though-

[@jessethereader]

saaaaame. may the books find their way to our hands very soon.

[@emxry]

Yess! More books to put on the list!

[@madelinecresho3044]

Omg Jessie is literally my new best friend Kpop and books...... YES

[@TiliaHaggstrom]

The audibooks for Mistborn are great if you want to do an adio reread :) The narrator, Michael Kramer, is one of the biggest fantasy narrators and he does most of Brandons books If you want to eas your way into fantasy read The house in the ceruelan sea!!! Its about found family at a magical orphanage and I honestly can't imagen anyone disliking it. It will charm you and warm your heart

[@BrittvanVliet]

Fanart of the Heroes of Olympus is what made me buy Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. That book is what got me into reading into the first place!

[@catcarstairs8179]

JESSE YOU MUST READ THE ENTIRE MISTBORN TRILOGY I'M ALMOST DONE WITH BOOK 3 AND IT'S LITERALLY SO WILD THE PLOT TWISTS AT THE END OF EACH BOOK ARE JUST AHHHHHHH yeah u gotta read them :)

[@ajg4158]

Cat Carstairs Sanderson’s other books also have great plot twists. You should check them out

[@catcarstairs8179]

@@ajg4158 I know they do! So far outside of Mistborn I've only read his Skyward series but I do want to read his other books too.

[@ajg4158]

Yeah I’ve read skyward and I’m going to be finishing the Stormlight archive(the plot twists oml!) soon

[@lostinfantasy]

Every Sanderson book is great. I've read all of his cosmere books and they are just fantastic. My favorite plot twist amongst them has to be in Shadows of Self.

[@defnenote]

these are my fav videos, something about people getting stuff brings me so much joy haha

[@amycaldon7824]

DEFINITELY Knick-knacks!! Me love those Knick knacks! 🤣🤣🥰🥰

[@j.p.2636]

I only recently found this channel, and I don't know why it took so long, but I just loved this unboxing and the energy that I want to go binge watch

[@Shaegeeksout]

YAS WARBREAKER!! My cat is named Lightsong, and I love that character a whole lot.

[@isabellarobinson7894]

That is honestly the best 😂

[@lostinfantasy]

Lightsong is my favorite character in Warbreaker

[@nakiboy7]

I love bookshelves with nicknacks. Love the video Jesse.

[@LovelessDegrees]

I know what the October book is too and it's one of my most anticipated releases! The Illuminae Files was a perfect trilogy for me :D Uncle Rick and his books are the best!! And yes, Blackpink! I've been listening to them recently and they're sooo good!

[@reikingman3805]

"knick-knackies" a new term for me to use. 💜 I'm buddy reading It with my friend because she suggested it would help me get over my fear of clowns lol. I'm also starting the Hunger Games series for the first time...💜

[@ameliapc3943]

yes same with the nail thing, I think normally I just bite them off or something but now I feel the need to cut them every week

[@michaelaeklova5679]

Apparently, only colored edges are needed for Jesse to fall in love with a book :D

[@alexblack3932]

Every time I feel awful Jesse drops a video you're amazing do you know that

[@kindallhamilton4640]

The second illuminae book is by far the best!😍

[@aspenculbertson3938]

I picked up the Mirror Visitor Quartet because I saw a really good fanart as the characters recreating a scene from Beauty and the Beast.

[@hanthespookydisneyqueen1997]

I love decorating my bookshelf’s I have a bunch of Disney and other fandomy stuff on mine

[@rachelpalmer5185]

I love Knick knacks on bookshelves!

[@lynadahmane753]

God the Illuminae books were just AMAAAAZING. one of my favorite trilogies ever

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Love that it was an unboxing but you also casually talked books all through it too 🙌🏾

[@jessethereader]

thanks Olivia!! 🖤

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

Clutter, I like clutter on my bookshelves. To get a book I typically have to move a few things. The most recent addition is a skeleton bat hanging from a shelf.

[@TheXxmayxx]

READ THE MISTBORN TRILOGY!

[@thenameofthewind7429]

I got through the audio book for Warbreaker super fast! I definitely recommend checking it out

[@shazmatazz6769]

I recently started following Blake and that kid is one of my favourite people on here! He’s so candid about his opinions! Also, I love the friendship y’all both have!

Nail oil hydrates your nails. You put it around them on the cuticles and rub it in.

[@zorahollie8520]

This video really helped me keep my friend that may or may not have been kidnapped off my mind. Love illumacrete.

[@itsmist-er]

Nail oil makes sure your nails are sturdy. It usually just makes your nails stronger and your cuticles moisturized so you don't get hang nails, I think...

[@illumicrate3231]

Thank you for the fab unboxing! Now I really want to see your Rick Riordan collection 👀

[@paginator]

I’m reading All Your Twisted Secrets by Diana Urban. It’s a thriller with a crap ton of plot twists!
