ROASTING YOUR BOOKSHELVES 📚🔥

[@alexishurtado6183]

PLEASE do this again! Just rebrand this to “Bookshelf Reactions”. 😂

I second that I loved this video!

I'm with you even a rating bookshelf vid would be nice

[@MKTraxel]

This is the antithesis of Daniel Greene's bookshelf roasts and I love how much I love BOTH versions. 😂😂

[@ira__s]

I know I've watched too many of his bookshelf roasts when you know the things he would roast and comment on when watching this video xD

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Hahaha Gavin and you should roast bookshelves together. Both of you can combine your powers and chargrill bookshelves.

[@Pawaann143]

"It's giving comfort and I love that -- oh my god I'm supposed to be roasting you." It's 3am and I'm trying not to laugh out loud 😂

[@devonmunn5728]

Lovely profile pic. Love how colorful It is

[@ira__s]

Tbh I would be 100% down for bookshelf reactions without the roasting!! A good roast is always fun but not necessary. I also just love seeing different people's bookshelves and collections, so I'm mostly just like you and marveling seeing what others do with their shelves. So no need to try and force yourself to roast things!!

[@Youareanicon]

Thank you for being terrified of my styrofoam head Maxine. I promise she will not haunt your dreams.

[@Matt_IsaBird]

Hi jesse!! You roasted my shelves! yay! (Around 5:18), and in my defense, that elephant deserved it.

[@jessethereader]

😂😂😂

[@DreamAmongStars]

What did Gerald do?? lmao

[@fudgeelizabeth9]

Kathy Reichs writes the Temperance Brennan series that the TV show Bones was based on. The main character is a forensic anthropologist. So, yes, they're mysteries with a scientific twist.

[@PistachioGold]

Maybe you should rename it to a combo of "toast or roast" as Gavin toasts on nice shelves 😂 but you saying "oh no i should be roasting" is hilarious. Also, I can just imagine Daniel reacting to you praising funko pops and double stacking books 😂😂😂 Loved it, pls reconsider making this a series ❤❤❤ its fun🎉

[@naomiwhitlock]

my bookshelves are at 9:02 ! space is definitely tight in the dorm lmao 😭 the frankenstein shelf has other books on it bc those are my other all-time favorites !!

[@hammyyam]

5:28 PIGGY AND GERALDDDD!

[@DanielGreeneReviews]

I’m more than happy to tell you the secret to roasting is to do a shot before you get started. ❤ please do this again!

[@herbybib]

I absolutely love this! What a great start to my Monday 💖 now I want my shelves "roasted" 😅

[@wickerlibrary]

HA the flipping bird was a christmas gift from my roommate she truly loves me lol. but we technically share that bookshelf so the top few shelves are her (and my) childhood favorites. as for the dead plant.... i do not have the heart to throw the corpse away HA

[@CrossfitBooklover16]

6:05 Great roast. The books are backwards because that tells me how big my tbr is.

[@emmal7510]

Kathy Reichs' books were sort of the inspiration for the tv show Bones. Murder mysteries with a strong forensic anthropology element.

[@evieonthetv]

How about doing bookshelf compliments? 😂

HAHAHAHA

[@tine442]

Good idea 😍

[@rachelnorthauthor]

This video was so fun! You should absolutely give Keeper of the Lost Cities a try-the later books do drag a bit, but the characters and worldbuilding are delightful.

[@celticlew39tv]

I would love to see more videos with you reacting to bookshelves. I enjoy all the positive things you have to say about the way others choose to home their books. You are one of my favorite Booktubers and I appreciate the time and thoughts that go into all your videos.

[@melissa-annnelson3667]

You haaaaave to read the Keepers of the Lost Cities!! It’s a long series (and still in progress) but since it’s middle grade you can fly through them. It’s basically wholesome Harry Potter without the terf author 🤗

[@camilaarmani8566]

You are such a cinnamon roll of a human, and I love how kind you are. Please do more of this, I loved it!!!

[@artbyamyk1000]

Yes, please do more bookshelf reaction videos! I love listening to you talk about books and bookshelves. I couldn't roast anyone either. I just want everyone to be happy. :D

[@meepitydoodle]

we need another one, but make it "bookshelf defrosting", the opposite of a roasting

[@deendrew36]

I love the ever so slight and gentle criticism or observation, and then “boom! Roasted!” 🤣

[@LaraYorulmaz]

the warrior cats collection made my heart so happy. I loved them as a kid so much and I probably will never get over these books. They were my first obsession ahh ✨💖

[@TheBookSkeptic]

Finally I get to be a part of something! ❤ Thanks so much for including my shelves in your roast Jesse! Yep my bookshelves serve for books and any other nick nacks. I don’t have my series in order since I’ve done it before (alphabetical order by author, by genre) but I like to change up the order so the book collection feels new. Yes, Reese’s are my favorite too! 😊

[@tiny.kawaii]

This has to be the most wholesome roast I've ever seen. I love it.

[@RenateeeS]

8:43 thank you for that amazing roast of my bookshelves, I do indeed put a lot of care into my book collection and glad it shows 🤭

[@andieland1923]

@RenateeeS Please can you tell me where you got your shelf?? I love it!

[@RenateeeS]

@@andieland1923 thank you! It's from the brand Xooon

[@PistachioGold]

Its really pretty ❤❤❤ and very clean looking indeed

[@vanitasphobe]

As a warrior cats fan, the people who hate warrior cats the most are the fans themselves 😭 It’s def a “I started these when I was young and now they’re a huge part of me but as I grew older I realized the writing in this absolutely sucks but I’m still fond of them because of the nostalgia” situation

[@BriyleeNova]

That elephant is Gerald!! From Gerald and Piggy! A person of taste!

[@lilysdreamworld6386]

begging you for another installment of this, i absolutely loved this

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

The wooden doll with your face made me laugh so hard 😂

[@Abigael317]

Omgosh Jesse this was beautiful! More toast or roast please!!

[@kirikat9365]

Okay, as an adult Warriors (Warrior Cats) fan, I highly recommend them. Start with Into the Wild, which is the first in the Prophecies Begin series, the first series Erin Hunter wrote. If the first book doesn't hook you, that's fine, but the majority of fans will tell you the first series is the best. It definitely feels full circle by the last book of the first series. After that the other books are good too, but there's a specific order to reading the others. Anyway yeah, please feel free to try them~

[@k49821]

Those books were my childhood! I should re-read them...

[@FortunaK]

I looooove this format!! Please do many more :3

[@linmin7082]

i LOVE this!!! especially love your first impressions raving about the bookshelves and then (maybe) a line 'roasting' before continuing to admire them 😂😂😂 more please!!

[@courtsavage]

OMG! Mine is the bookshelf with the Adventure Time funkos! Thank you so much for picking it and for the roast lol. We love someone who can appreciate Funkos and Adventure Time!

[@blujeangirl32]

You should definitely give the keepers of the lost cities a try! They are so much fun.

[@emmiedeandean]

I thought this was so cute. I laughed at your attempts. Bookshelf reactions would probably be more fitting.

[@eht367]

Okay, but all of these book shelves 😍😍😍

[@derpybird2039]

Please do it again! This was hilarious to watch XD

[@thewannabegamer9]

This was super fun!! I think this is really good for you to get out of your comfort zone (hopefully you like it too) and you get to talk about multiple different things like design choices, book choices, what you still need to read, etc. I’m just feeling like I’m seeing another side of you I don’t get to see in other videos and I’m really enjoying it! ❤ Edit: while I do enjoy the idea of Bookshelf reactions, I also like your attempts at trying to roast something and doing your best 😅

[@bihter3201]

psychoanalyzing your bookshelves sounds good too 😂

[@GildedJulie]

Oh my gosh, thanks for the "roast"! And you're right, gotta make my wooden stickman look more threatening ;D

[@the1disaster]

Hey, I'm the first one you roasted! Agreed, keeping the books in boxes is very Inconsiderate! (Thank you, the move went well, soon I'll get to set the books free on my new bookcase!)

[@paulapfeiler4943]

So that elephants name is Gerald. He is a character in the Elephant and Piggie series by Mo Willems. My daughter is obsessed 😂

[@salindrab4493]

I love that and you are hilarious while roasting.😆🤗

[@roorooreads]

This video definitely had me chuckling. It seems like you would have so much for fun just doing a bookshelf reaction video, but I'm not going to lie it was hilarious every time you had to remind yourself that you were supposed to be roasting the shelf 😅

[@invadernav3422]

I'd love to see more of these! I think it would be fun, or maybe another one of the roasts of weird bookshelves for sale.

[@marjoleinx3628]

Loved this! Please do another book toast to get to the bookshelves you didn't see yet❤

[@TyDaisuke]

I just started Keeper of the lost cities in the new year and it is a commitment but OMG IT'S SO FUN AND SO GOOD! I was just pulled into the world and it's reminding me of when books pulled me in as a kid. I am loving them. Go into them looking for a fun story with some mystery and magic.

[@SinfullySarahBookish]

Next time do compliments😊. For some rezon i enjoy when you give them, their very heartfelt😊

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’m so sorry but I was ready to send you pictures of my bookshelves and…then I completely forgot. Maybe I’m not ready to be roasted, maybe it’s Maybelline

[@elliotbunton598]

You really should read The Keeper of the Lost Cities!!!! The series looks giant but for me it flew by SDO QUICKLY! I was near the end and dying for more!!!!! The story will take you through a rollercoaster of emotions that never ends

[@xReshira]

seconding the people saying a bookshelf reactions series would be cool, this was a super fun video :D

OMG Jesse I love your Koss porta pros, I never see people wearing them. Those headphones are so cool they're my favourite !!

i love this idea! please continueeee but also i’m scared to share my shelf because i will be JUDGED😂

[@CelReadsStuff]

This would be me trying to roast peoples bookshelves. But it’s funny watching you try

[@Kriseaf]

You could go all the way and just call it "Admiring your bookshelves" too. :)

[@jenniferrux7722]

I loved this video. Gosh I missed sending in my shelf. I am so proud of my shelf. My brother built it for me. I'd like to see you do this again.

[@abigailburch744]

Please read Keeper of the Lost Cities! They are so good and definitely worth the commitment.

[@nataliabo-balia8049]

I loved this! I thought the “oh wait it’s supposed to be a roast” comments were great and funny. I’d still rebrand it to reactions tho

KATHY Reichs, not Kelly. She is a forensic anthropologist by trade, and she writes crime/mystery books. Very prolific writer! She was one of my mom’s fave authors.

[@oliverharris60]

Argh I didn’t know you were doing this, I’d love to send you my weird shelves for a roasting! Great video as always 🙃

[@shawnieadams1319]

Come on, get your series together already! 🤣

[@mirandoom]

I've been reading the Warrior cats series since the late 2000s and I have some THOUGHTS on the series lol to sum it up though, it's ok? The first 2-3 arcs plus Dawn of the Clans and some of the earlier super editions are decent to good, but the newer books really need more time between books to really flesh them out. That, or they need to be trimmed down to 3-4 books instead of 6. I could definitely go on though lol

[@zixxymwhah]

Came to the comments to write that you should try reading Warrior Cats 😄

[@alexhreads7951]

Prisoner elephant is Elephant from from Elephant and Biggie by Mo Willems. Signed a bookseller who spends way too much time in the kid's section.

[@lendralit1174]

More roasts, please!! (of the bookish sort, and not beef) 🍖

[@flaura_99]

I love that you are so bad at roasting 😂 It gives hufflepuff

[@k49821]

Haha instead of roasting shelves you could do a "what I assume about you" personality analysis or something like that based off of the shelves sent in 🤔That would be fun to watch. Oh my gosh I was commenting this as you started talking about this same idea 💀
