ROASTING YOUR WEIRD READING HABITS!

[@just_Sasuke3]

I love how his roasting is mostly just aggressively making sure everyone is taking care of themselves

[@Bookdragon11]

I know that is the Jesse-way 😊

[@Tanya_LitLife]

Jesse roasting is like putting a spike collar on a kitten & asking it to attack. Adorable & ineffective.

[@jessethereader]

omg this comment 😂

[@acrimsondaisy5513]

the person who listens to audiobooks while reading their book is on a different level

[@persephonekore7738]

I tried that once and managed to confuse myself cause I read faster than the audiobook 😂 Edit I’ve just seen it’s a different audio books that’s just madness I’d miss both plots 😂

[@ellaadair]

I read The Cruel Prince in my native language which is German. Everytime I finished a chapter I read it again while listening to the english audiobook.

[@lixaroncone8421]

I love doing this. Lol

[@peachiiisims]

i listen to audiobooks on 3x speed and read my book at the same time :)

[@lionmuesli4321]

My adhd brain without meds needed that ironically to focus on them. Lol

[@doveknight]

For people that like to chew thing while they read, if you're interested you can buy stim toys that are made for chewing. Many of us neurodivergent people own chew stim toys. Hope that helps someone! 💜

[@AlexaSmith]

the person who bakes the books literally needs to be in jail

[@codyclaeys2008]

Maybe he was reading farenhight 451 and got confused?

[@LyraValley]

To the person who bakes library books: don't. Sincerely, a librarian.

[@thatcatholicgirl5675]

I’ve been in a reading slump for a hot minute, and Jane Austen has brought me out! Like it was really bad, it lasted for like a whole year.

[@pinkiBaerchen]

I love Jane Austen. Currently reading Emma and absolutely loving it.

[@JasmineLeiLoni]

Jesse, I love you sweet boy, but you could NEVER be the cruel prince. A sweet prince is what you remain to be.

[@isabellajohnson956]

There was this one time my grandma was watching tv and I was reading. 25 minutes into the two hour episode of murder she wrote, I pointed at the screen and said “he’s the killer.” Idk how I came to that conclusion but I was right. 😂

[@ChelSierra_Remly]

In the ice storm of 2009, I was without lights for fifteen days and nights. I read 17 books. (It didn't even put a dent in my TBR pile.) One of the books I read was: An Ice Cold Grave by Charlaine Harris. I knew exactly how cold the characters were in the story when they lost their electricity for several days. I would bundle up and sit in front of a window so that the sun could warm me up and shine on my book.

[@styxthistle497]

I never thought that being told directly by a booktuber that my funky reading habit would break my brain would make my day, but here we are

[@bookandanimelover4life582]

Okay but why is 4:39 so relatable. You always get the best ideas for your own stories when your reading another story and it's not always related to the thing your reading about 😂😂😂

[@Rose-lt6wu]

How is it that no one's ever mentioned that Jesse has a perfect symmetrical face!!! I mean... When he flips the footage, nothing feels different! That's AWESOME

[@leonajeanlunn4302]

I take off the dust jacket when reading but not really because I'm worried about it getting messy or anything. I just hate the feeling of the open book with the dust jacket still on cuz it doesn't fit right and it's just floating around and I just need it off 😂

[@Kin0618]

I do that too, or I tape down the dust jacket.

[@SS-hx6bv]

I love how Jesse sounds like a concerned uncle for his nieces and nephews instead of actually roasting us

[@dfurlz1935]

Hey Jesse I just watched ur reading slump video and I wanted to just tell u that u have an amazing voice thank u for being u and making my day when u post more bookish content have an awesome day Jesse

[@ximenaallessandrij.5972]

This was more like a “let me help you with your reader habits” but hey! I’ll take it! XD I enjoyed this “sassy” book doctor, I’m here for it! 🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Great video to smile while I’m eating :3

[@eireann9239]

Every single one of my books has its own playing card personalized bookmark. 😬 I sharpie the title, series name, and author on the front and the date I got it on the back. And yes, I know exactly how insane that sounds. 🤣

[@birdsandbooks1564]

I am very tempted to do the bookmark thing, except make it that book themed

[@jocelynstokes7223]

Just staring at the 3 copies of Rule of Wolves behind you 😂

[@teritora8650]

I also read and create plot ideas. It’s like filling up your plot inventory and remodeling it a bit to fit your creations.

[@nola3963]

Lmao when you broke character in the middle of the roast 🤣👍🏼❤️

[@Anghrae]

Every time I am reading a book and its time to finish for the day I look at how long is the next chapter, just to see if I wanna quickly read it... Let's say it often doesn't end on only one chapter :)

[@GenLP73]

I do this! I thought I was the only one 😂

[@mariepotter8921]

Hope all is well!!! Listening to Simon snow, and LOVING IT!!! Love ya!!!

[@felicitypevideos4224]

That’s my all-time favorite series :). Have fun!

[@thatb1h855]

carry on is a brilliant series!!

[@ravensandblots]

Reading should not send us to the hospital! Love this! I do have to say I take off the dust jackets, and if I’m bored I will read the end to see if it’s worth it 😂

[@hama9o623]

I got roasted way too hard hahahaha love your videos 10:20

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

I always find the approximate halfway mark before I read these days. I also find the end of the current chapter. And I put separate bookmarks at each of those spots. (I also have a third bookmark that actually goes wherever I actually an in the book, just in case I am forced to stop in the middle of a chapter or something; ssooo, when I actually am at the start of a chapter, I bookmark the end of the chapter where the next chapter starts. Lol!!!) It helps me motivate myself to feel accomplished, rather than overwhelmed. So I keep reading. Every time I can check one chapter off as completed, and also see myself actively getting closer and closer first to the halfway mark and then to the end. It lets me know I'm not just wasting my time, I am actually getting something done. ^-^

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

(Because a lot of the time these days, I don't even get to finish a whole chapter at a time, it can be so easy to feel sometimes like I'm not actually making any progress..even when I am...just sslloowwwllyyyy.😅😅😁👀 Loll So, doing this, has really been helping me not just let myself give up on reading entirely around all the other life/stuff going on around me right now. ^--^💖)

[@lizbradley7489]

Reading a paper copy of a book and listen to the audiobook at the same time

[@lixaroncone8421]

Yup I love doing this

[@Leticia-vo6xn]

"so what you're saying is your tbr is trash. noted!" LMAO

[@rainydaysreads]

I sit cross-legged on my bed and that's the only way I can read. I'm hoping to get a bean bag soon to help.

[@geminithetwins]

Is it weird that I never use bookmarks? I just know where I left off- sometimes I maybe read one page twice- but that's no biggie!

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

I used to be able to always remember where I was a never use bookmarks too! Then my brain got old and decrepit or something and now I have to use bookmarks or I will never know where I am without them. 👀 😅🙃🤣🤣

[@RandomWriter9110]

My weird habit is checking how many pages and how many chapters a book has before reading it. It's a dangerous way to live, considering I can accidentally catch a line on the last page and ruin something for myself, but I still do it! 😅

[@Booklover-coffeelover]

Books are like oxygen to me. I'll read everywhere, even on the bank queue, just to gain courage to get along with everyday activities.

[@lisathebookcat4669]

I also plot the best bookmark for my current reads. The fastest speed I've been able to read is 2.5 and audiobooks help me focus on my physical copies (and read them faster).

[@simply_angeliqueACNH]

I can't sit in complete silence while reading. i always need music or random talking in the background or one of those ambience videos ❤

[@faeriefire78]

I have a weird habit of checking to see how far along I am in a book a few times per reading session, even if the book is awesome, and have to remind myself that enjoying the process is the goal so chill out. My weirdest one is something I only caught onto recently; Whenever I'm REALLY loving a book, and I doze off, I end up snuggling the book or Kindle against me like a teddy bear. Didn't even realize I was doing it until one day it dawned on me. I guess an amazing book is my emotional support animal? 🤷🏻‍♀

[@thestudycruise]

Are we book twins? Cuz SAME!

[@faeriefire78]

Twin! 🥰

[@kanashiiookami6537]

For the people who need to chew on things in order to concentrate, there's a company called Chewigem that makes what they coin as Chewelry (chewy jewelry) from food grade silicone (if I remember correctly) so you can safely gnaw on something cute or stylish to your heart's content. I've heard loads of great reviews and praise, though, sadly have yet to own/try any. But it's something to keep in mind.

[@Lemonade_Stand_]

You can just buy baby teething toys.

[@kanashiiookami6537]

@@Lemonade_Stand_ depends on how hard you gnaw on things, I would think. They're meant for baby jaw strength not "I chew through pencils/pens" but it's a great suggestion!😁

[@Flowerydulce]

Your videos always make me happy! Been following you for years and helped me cultivate healthy reading habits! Thank youuu Jessie 🤗

[@yellowshimmer9198]

My weird thing about me when I read my audiobooks is the narrator for some reason has a lot to do with how much I like the book l. I’ve returned too many audiobooks bc I can’t focus bc of the narrators voice. Another habit I have is I love to get audiobooks of my physical books so I can follow along and focus better ❤️

[@tayloryoung9455]

For every book I finish, I add 2-3 more to my tbr 😭

[@mugglepuff]

I move around a lot when reading. I have read upside down before.

I don't know about others, but when I take my kindle into the bath with me I use one of those waterproof bag things that allow you to still use your touch devices. (it's like $11 on amazon) It's designed to be underwater for hours, I think it can protect my kindle from a few second accidental dunk if/when I drop it. 😆

Man my dude has been killing it with the content

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

I don't get removing the dust jackets to read a book. Because books are meant to be read, and therefore they will probably be somewhat damaged in the process even if you take care of them. I don't mind if my books get damaged in the process as long as they're still readable. So I don't mind things such as cracked spines, which I know bugs some people. Sometimes there is a slight tear in the dust jacket at the top or bottom of a hardcover, again I don't mind. I feel like some people may see this as a weird reading habit, but I see this as reality. A habit that I have that I do see as weird is the fact that I read when I game. I will be on the laptop playing a game, and I will have a book with me that I will be reading as I play. It is actually one of the reasons I get through books so quickly. Another reason why I do is that I read as part of my breaks. So if I finish a task, I reward myself by reading a chapter or a scene or a selection of pages from a book.

[@AsuraSantosha]

Commenting a year later is crazy but Im curious if you read that True Biz book from book of the month? It was recommended to me but I'm unsure. On another note, love how Jesse tries to roast and just turns into the "book doctor". Lol

[@coral54hgmb]

I guess the weirdest thing I do is just not use a bookmark (I just remember the page) but that’s VERY tame compared to all these

[@thomascampbell350]

[@rosalieramos5526]

Here's my weird reading habit: I hate other people spoiling a book, but if I am really enjoying a book, I will read anywhere from the last sentence to the last chapter of the book, to make sure it ends well. (It probably comes from the trauma of reading Where the Red Fern Grows at 13, and then sitting on my toy box, absolutely sobbing, at 3 AM, after I finished the book.)

the mirror one tho, sometimes I be reading in my room where there's a big mirror and when something crazy or really good happens I find myself looking up and seeing my reaction, and I like it because it feels as if there was someone else that feels the same way I do about what just happened in the book and we can be excited together, but it's really just my reflection😭.
