I READ BOOKTUBER'S WORST BOOKS OF 2023 ft.

[@tiachu]

oh my god??!? 😭😭 I’m seriously soo honored to be included in this video AHHH ♥️🥹 I also wish you could read a 2023 fav so we could geek out together instead of being equally frustrated w Kathleen as a character HAHAH. what a fun video, looking forward to the favorites one!!!

[@Lumors]

Sooo... will you collab? 👀

[@YW2324]

Oh hey I just subscribed to your channel 😁

[@PokhrajRoy.]

0:36 Jesse collects Booktubers like Infinity Stones.

[@eht367]

I'm so sad Night House was bad! The description gave me "Goosebumps, but for Adults" and I was excited for it. Oh well, one less book on the TBR! ALSO, your library has a DRIVE-THRU?! 👀

[@YW2324]

It seems interesting 🤔.

[@gabbyreads]

Oh my gosh whaaaat!!! 🤯😍 I’m so honored to be included in this video, I’ve been watching your channel for so long, this is so exciting!!! 🥹😍 also hahaha I’m so sorry you had to read The Night House because of my video hahaha 😂 but I’m also glad you felt very similar to how I felt, that book is such a hot mess 😂

[@YW2324]

I love your videos too ❣️❤😅

[@Kissinglife-Tina]

Jo Nesbø is one of Norways biggest authors, and he’s mainly a thriller/crime guy, most known for a long-ass series about a cop solving shit😅 Haven’t heard about this book though, so I did a quick search. Night house got five stars from a lot of norwegian papers. Our country is so small, I think the reviewers are scared they have to face the authors at a release party😂 Oh, and I found out the book IS supposed to be set in the 70’s. I hate settings from the 70’s. It’s too….brown🤪

[@amandap7733]

I love the idea that Norway is like highschool and reviewers are afraid to bad talk someone because they'll see them in the cafeteria the next day.

[@Kissinglife-Tina]

@@amandap7733 You’re on point! I just realized there’s no star or dice ranking in the papers here anymore. It’s just the written reviews. Wow😂

[@wickerlibrary]

i loveeee seeing some good library appreciation

[@YW2324]

Yesss ❤

[@a.p907]

I once read a book that combined amnesia and time travel in the same plot so I know exactly how you feel when you say, "It feels like fanfiction".

[@janenightreadsandwrites223]

I have never seen a mini dishwasher like that. Very interesting

[@kadencestevens9757]

I literally had that same thought 😂😂

[@SydBookWorrom]

Looovveeee seeing some of my faves on one of my fave’s channel!😍

[@missasissa]

So exciting to see you are familiar with Gabbyreads! You and her are my favorite booktubers! 😊

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Nice to see Gavin featured here! He did a video on your first video.

[@YW2324]

I love his videos too 😅😊

[@shaykininmybooks]

Did I just see a drive thru at the library?!

[@erinmariecece]

I came to the comments looking for someone else to mention this 😂

[@WickedWestBooks]

Libby is one of the absolute top tier apps to exist. Library in my pocket, yes please.

[@carissadallke1345]

One of the best finds I found in the past couple years!

[@spindlesending]

Complete side note: that Arkansas hoodie is great! Love the color and orange details.

[@Foonislin]

I love the element of having to find the books at the library dude it really is a challenge nowadays I can never find the ones I want to read😢

[@reneeelich4893]

I love that you are using your library, that's so nice to see!

[@Foxheartbooks]

My favorite thing about this video is finding out that a countertop dishwasher exists 😮

[@Abigael317]

My favourite thing is learning that a countertop dishwasher doesn't need a sink attachment, just a pitcher of water!!!? Where does this come from? I need all the details so I can maybe get one!!

[@Foxheartbooks]

@@Abigael317 They have them on Amazon!

[@scoobydont]

You have the best vlogs and the loveliest vibes, so comforting 😊💛

[@naastyaaaaaaaaa]

I'm not mad you're making videos about 2023. I still LIVE in 2023. Aging out of YA is not going smoothly y'all😩

[@Gabbysreadingwell]

These reading vlogs are always so fun! Also those shots you took of the snow falling were absolutely beautiful.

[@megantempleton5814]

Love the hoodie! Hello from Springdale!

[@livlives2160]

I love when we get to see nature clips while seeing you read, reading outside is one of my favorites

[@ChanelChapters]

I’m sorry - is your library a DRIVETHRU?!? THATS SO AWESOME

[@BuntinCozymysterylover]

I love this video so much! I'm gonna read the second and third books in the Finlay Donovan series, so I'm really curious to see how I feel about them! Also, I love the snack time of your reading vlog! I wanna try those gummy candies! 👀✨

[@clairebaker2413]

u always bring up my mood and help me out of a reading slump !!

[@elskabee]

I love how everyone seems to collectively agree that the Finlay series is going downhill but refuses to stop reading it 😂

[@ultimateMtrenchlover]

The little lego building scene so cute !!

[@peach5327]

Loving all these vidoes! So glad i joinined your channel!

[@jessethereader]

🖤🖤🖤

[@BrandontheBeldam2993]

Out of these three books, the only one that peaked my interest was The Night House. My library has a copy so I May read it at some point, but my expectations are severely lowered with how the book is written.

[@hayashaikh8159]

8:28 Fav clip from vlog. Also, loved the vlog. 💙

[@emmal7510]

Haven't read any of those books, but I have read a couple of other books by Jo Nesbø and, unfortunately, the dated attitudes aren't unique to that book. A few might be the fault of things not translating well, but probably not most of them.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Enjoyed this video! And that you use your library so much :)

[@ravent3016]

Thanks for the honest, thoughtful reviews. You are brave. ;) (The white peach candy is def, better than the watermelon. FYI, the lychees is also tasty.)

[@typeonereader]

I love that you do this without seeing their thoughts first!

[@bex262]

god your library is gorgeous!!

[@emmal7510]

Love watching Jesse trying to convince us he doesn't own a shrink ray.

[@isabellavalentine7268]

Imma need that dishwasher linked bestie

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Hey, we’re all guilty of invoking the previous year. It’s ok.

[@ExploreDevonshire]

Good to know I ain’t missing much with the Finlay Donovan series 😂 hated the first book and was curious whether the rest were better

[@tendoheart9928]

I feel like the whole Finlay Donovan Series would've been so much better if there wasn't any romance in it at all...even in the first book it was already annoying

[@chargalbreth3052]

Finley Donovan is alot like the Stephanie Plum books. You read them knowing that the plot lines are unbelievable but fun.

[@Lia23235]

The Night House is the first and only time in my life that I've returned a book to the shop and got my money back after reading it, because I was so pissed that I spent 12 quid on it.

[@thatdamfangirl]

Your library is so cool!

[@Abigael317]

Jesse, where can I buy a dishwasher like yours? You could give an affiliate link if you have one!

[@purplexzombie3371]

I enjoyed this cause deep in my heart I'm nosy AND petty lol I like the balance of talking and aesthetica

[@dfurlz1935]

Hey jesse i just wanted to tell u ur my fav booktuber ur vids always inspire me to pick up a book. Ur absolutely amazing and i cant wait for the next one i wrote this as ik watching this vid best wishes and be safe ❤

[@GlitterEnby]

Yay! Library field trip!

[@butzichen]

Not Jesse "never" finishing a series but investing himself in one he doesn't like😂

[@shawnieadams1319]

Oh No, The Dead Romantics was in my top 5 best of 2023 reads!! 🖤

[@lunawolf6288]

Im rereading once upon a broken heart im excited to read the once upon a broken heart series

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Okay but now I want to try the candy…

[@SkyeGames97]

I have never so far read any series that the squeals are worse then the first book, but I’ve not read too many books.

[@ElleBeeBooks]

There are 3(!) more Finlay books contracted after the 4th. So 7 in total. I was going to read the 4th but now I’m just like that’s too much for me.

[@chelsey8737]

Woah thats a crazy amount of books, esp since its all hinging on an utterly ridiculous set up. I feel like people will definitely tire of it by book 4

[@YW2324]

I mean the Murder of Mr whickham, in it they talk about how homosexuality was a sin. But that took place in 1820 so thats understandable. Thats just the author writing things that happened and that were talked about in that time period. Highly recommend that book by the way. Jane Austen characters in it too

[@LaraYorulmaz]

the dead romantics is one of my all time favorite books It hurt so much to hear that she has it in her worst books of 2023 video included aaaah pain :(((( florencebenji will always own my stupid little bookish heart hihi 💌💞💖

[@Ms.SpookyNerd]

Love Gabby's and Tia's videos 🫖☕📚🔖

[@juliacash8135]

You should definitely read cursed by Marissa Meyer soon! It is an amazing duology so good! If you haven’t read her other books you should definitely read them. You should read the renegades series which is sci-fi dystopian and so good! You should also read the lunar chronicles which is sci-fi fantasy and also amazing! You should also read heartless it’s a retelling of Alice and wonderland it’s so good but also a little sad. All of these are some of my top favorite books and she is a go to auto buy author.

[@awhimsyreader9015]

He actually has read TLC there are reviews of the books on his Channel from a couple years ago

[@laurenbrender3671]

the cover for Once more with Feeling gives me Jacqueline Wilson vibes >.>

[@laurenbrender3671]

also that peach candy is legit one of my favourite Japanese candies.

[@queenkim8631]

I also didn't enjoy Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun....BUT I will be reading the next book in the series 😅

[@YW2324]

Ya ive seen many saying they only liked the first one

[@BookJedi84]

Ok I actually bought the Jo nesbo book and now I don't want to read it. Oh well I guess the little free library it goes

[@lunawolf6288]

I read a river enchanted and a fire endless 5/5 stars , I almost cried at a fire endless , Jesse thank you for convincing me to read a river enchanted and a fire endless they were so good

[@YW2324]

In the Finley Donovan series

[@Youareanicon]

When you said montague twins, I threw up. IT'S SO BAD. THERE IS NO PLOT.

[@jessethereader]

OOH, interesting! I disagree, I thought there was a pretty solid plot in my opinion.

[@erinasarutobi2206]

if i remember correctly (not sure from gavin or kayla) but finlay donavan was going to be 6 books???

[@socialbianca]

❤yay library ❤

[@imaginepageant]

I don’t understand why snow means you’re stuck at home? We get a LOT of snow here, but we just go on living our lives. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@carissadallke1345]

Maybe the event was canceled

[@rubyanddelilahandnani]

I hope it doesn’t come out wrong, but why put yourself through this purposely? I hate the whole “my worst books of 202-“ videos too. I’m super interested in people’s favorites, but I don’t need to waste time on the 1 stars. Just a thought.

[@danid7367]

It's just an experiment. Sometimes the worst books for someone are the best ones for you

[@genevieveking5078]

Jesse likes to experiment more than me. I usually just stay away from one stars on booktube.

[@rubyanddelilahandnani]

@@danid7367right. Ok. Maybe it’s because I spend money on books and I can’t afford to spend it on bad ones 🙃.

[@rubyanddelilahandnani]

@@genevieveking5078same.
