ROASTING TERRIBLE BOOK COVERS #3 | INTERNATIONAL EDITION

[@Sophie_likes_reading]

There is a pun in the german title of twilight because Bis with one s means Until making the title until twilight or something and biss with two s (bc there’s one a little faded s) means bite so bite at twilight because ya know vamps

[@anasofiadelrio5638]

I also noticed that, and laughed so hard.

[@cuteclau]

Hey, that's cool. I don't know any German, so I completely missed it. Thanks for mentioning it.

[@ximenaallessandrij.5972]

MY GOD WITH THE INDONISIAN COVER!!! Like excuse me?! Why does it looks like a stained glass from Notre Dame? It's SO ellegant and beautiful and everything is right on that cover! Got obsessed with it!!! 😍😍😍✨

[@srijabiswas4989]

Jesse *earnestly* requesting people to hire him as a neck model was my highlight of the day. PS - the covers of the international editions of Twilight has left me even more traumatized than the books itself

[@books_and_baubles8329]

Plot twist. Those covers were to turn people off from reading that book😮

[@pdxdonut]

You could do a whole video on international Harry Potter covers.

[@kati5243]

YES Omg there are sooo many gorgeous book covers around the globe 😄 I need him to react to all of them 🙏

[@ximenaallessandrij.5972]

8:44 Idk how to explain the satisfaction hearing that being said so fast gave me, but props to Jesse!!! 😍✨

[@BrebearMckae]

The black and white for night circus is important bc everything IN said circus is black and white- and attenders occasionally wear red if they're like super fans. Hence the colors on the covers being mostly those colors.

[@twistedtulip3901]

I was looking for this comment! Yes, this.

[@Sysimarja]

I love seeing the different editions from around the world! Finland used the Swedish cover for TFIOS and I was very confused when I saw it the first time, after already having read the book in English 😅

[@eht367]

I actually like the vintage Night Circus with the Jesse triggering font 😂 Rather than vintage books, it reminds me of vintage cartoons that I used to watch like the animated Pink Panther show.

[@darasapundzhieva2189]

Here are my suggestions for the next episode: 1)Any Victoria Schwab book (Bulgarian editions are stunning) 2) Any Rick Riordan book 3) Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes (please, roast the Bulgarian edition, because it needs to be roasted) 😅 5) Any Karen McManus book (especially One of us is Lying) That’s all from me 😅😊

[@mixedberryfebreeze3844]

Jesse, I love this series, every time there's a new one I smile. Thanks for being you:)

[@enyas.6662]

I love cover comparisons! It's so funny to see German editions in your videos lol (I'm german-speaking)

[@mean_fairy]

Hello! I hope you all have a great day as well! Thanks to your intro I've realised that I am really in a very happy palace right now and I wanna say to everyone "be brave!" Dark times are not forever, take your time, everything is going to be good again! I'm sending all my love to you all! Lots of huuugs and thank you, Jesse, you made the day even better with the upload!! ❤️💛❤️💛❤️

[@keanucool6723]

I live in the UK this is the first time I've seen some of the UK editions in the video. A few of the us covers are the same in the Uk like the twilight covers, fault in our stars and night circus.

[@oliviacornwellauthor]

I love the unhinged-ness of these videos XD I've yet to read Night Circus (definitely on the TBR), but a lot of these covers make me want to read more, and just collect the pretty covers. Also I'm here for the Twilight cover that looks like "Wizard of Oz meets Stephen King" XD But dang, Cruel Prince got served some gorgeous covers across the board! Just... these videos are always such a solid reminder of HOW IMPORTANT GOOD COVERS ARE (a rant I could go on forever) XD

[@darasapundzhieva2189]

The Bulgarian fans have been summoned again by Jesse simply mentioning the Bulgarian edition of the Cruel prince 😂😂 Thank you, Jesse ❤️

[@dreamingbymyshelf]

No kidding, when the Stephenie-made Twilight cover came on screen I had just taken a sip of my tea and nearly spat it out. HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?!

[@anipirosmanishvili7555]

Didn't expect to see the Georgian edition of the Night Circus!

[@rusojanjalashvili3437]

Samee, I had to do a double take😅

[@AndiBfishbowlwoman]

Holy cow, those Twilight covers. I sometimes wonder if reading a book with covers like these have an effect on how the story hits for the reader. Like do they feel like they're reading a sexy or adventurous or thorny book, just based on the cover? 🤔

[@whiteraven562]

what kinda mood would that british cover put you in i wonder

[@arintakusuma2960]

yes that indonesian cover of the cruel prince actually had me on chokehold bc of how gorgeous it was!! you should check out the indonesian version of once upon a broken heart and the ballad of never after, i have both on my hands already and i still can't believe i get to hold something so beautiful in my life 😂

[@thestainedbookinurshelf]

The Swedish title had me dead 💀 “sooner or later, I’ll explode” like who thought of that 🥸

[@christie-annedear6729]

My favourite thing in a long time is the confidently referenced *Cirque du Lait* (rather than Soleil). I would visit the Milk Circus 😄 Also LOVE this video and concept!

[@ThisIsMeEmna]

this episode was great! hahaha twilight and tfios covers remind us of that era. and I LOVE MY ERA. but yes, the twilight covers had human models and that tfios skull brought death in our hearts WHOAA HAHAHAH

[@Lillyjoy]

Oh I love the night circus so much 😊 thank you for showing all the covers. Your favorites were also my favorites, as well as the one with the hand on the cover

[@laylamoreno5643]

Hey Jesse I’m having a really hard time at home right now. But this video brought me so much comfort and joy thank you 😊

[@enycha22]

next you should review bookish designs, illustration, fanarts or fanedits!

[@emmal7510]

I definitely understand the urge to want that last TFIOS cover. There's something about a truly WTF cover that makes it strangely compelling. I'm currently resisting the urge to buy one I saw the other day while browsing Amazon. And it's not anywhere near as bad. (The Master and Margarita, with an incredibly cute cartoony cat on it.)

[@mavywavy801]

Ngl the German twilight cover makes Twilight look ✨classy✨

[@kiraironskin]

The amount of covers you collected for this video is amazing 😀😀 Please say something about the cover changes of Spin the dawn or Six crimson cranes (both by Elizabeth Lim). Some of them are breathtaking, some just hurt my feelings 😅

[@alexishurtado6183]

I had to see if the cover on 6:15 was real. 😳

[@lizbradley7489]

I love the Japanese cover of the fault in our Stars I love the manga vibes that I got from it I would love to have a fault in our Stars manga or graphic novel please please please I would love that

[@ZuzuNoel]

I had a pink drink at the beginning 😭 I choked-

[@BuntinCozymysterylover]

Episode 3! Yay! This series has made me check on Goodreads for covers of other countries' editions of Japanese novels, too! It’s another really fun way to enjoy books! 😆💚 And, glad you like the Japanese edition of TFIOS! I like this cover, too!

[@devonmunn5728]

To comment about the Thai cover for Twilight I think it actually fits. The series is somewhat suggestive because of the passionate romance between Bella and Edward but of course not overly sexual because of Stephanie Meyer's Mormon beliefs. To quote Kennie J.D. in one of her videos on one of the later movies "Be a hoe, but make it holy" honestly sums it up pretty well

[@xianxian5465]

Yes, Indonesian covers are stunning! You should check Indonesian cover of The Poppy War, Once Upon a Broken Heart, Strange the Dreamers, We Hunt the Flame, Renegades, To Kill a Kingdom, These Violent Delights, The Song of Achilles/Circe, Blade Breaker, and newest edition of Rick Riordan's books... they are masterpieces! 😍

[@ximenaallessandrij.5972]

Now watching his last video and this one in one rush, I 've realized that Jesse it's great at roasting, but covers 🤣 it was so fun, honestly! ✨

[@lifeofbekahh]

the korean cover of twilight is so cool 😊 reminds me of anime, also the french cover of twilight is so pretty

[@aliesha9871]

The first 2 UK editions, I've never seen in my life and I'm from the UK. I once owned the US edition of Twilight but I own the Vintage Classic The Night Circus with the black white and red theme, with the red spine. It's simple, but I think it's one of the prettiest covers I own. It's gorgeous, as Jesse expressed, and I also think the Vintage Magic cover makes me very uncomfortable. Some of the international covers are very beautiful but some are very strange. The Chinese The Fault in Our Stars cover is gorgeous! However, I was disappointed with the book because I thought I'd cry with how much everyone said it destroyed them, but I just didn't really care all that much which is a shame because I really hoped I'd like it. The Indonesian cover for The Cruel Prince is also beautiful, as is the Russian cover. They're stunning! I really love these videos, I always look forward to watching them ❤

[@RobinundCobra11]

Do the every day series from david levithan. (Only suggesting that becaus i love the german cover xD)

[@heatherheatherandpeggy9134]

i LOVE these types of video!!! i was having a rough day, and this just made it a lot better :)) thank you!!

[@TheWordN3rd]

Lol. The texture on the Neck edition of Twilight (don't remember which country it was) looks like maybe they took a photo of a painting. That's definitely the texture of a canvas there.

[@cmondya4919]

I love this concept, find it so fun ! ^^

[@immortalazure]

This is so cathartic to watch. im so glad im not the only one icked by typeface and looove harmonious covers.

[@WigglePup]

Here are my suggestions: The Survivors series by Erin Hunter, Reckless by Cornelia Funke.

[@ebonydarknessdementiaraven4610]

I'm from the UK and I have never seen that cover of twilight in my life cuz wtf is that 😭😭also I'm in love with the German twilight its giving dark academia, intellectual, classics like omg

[@LunaHiw]

Okay, so I do have some info on the Swedish edition, if you're interested. The title in Swedish is "Förr eller Senare Exploderar Jag", which translates to "Sooner or later, I'll explode." I mean... it explains some of the elements, but I can't tell you the rest.

[@ceylamin1670]

I love your Videos! And yes some of our German Book Cover are ... different :D My little Recommands would be The Bone Ship - The Tide Child Trilogy from RJ Barker Stormdancer from Jay Kristoff Inheritance Trilogy 1: Eragon from Christopher Paolini aaand Ferno the Fire Dragon from Adam Blade Yes I'am a mostly Fantasy Reader :D

[@Cookie-iz8bz]

“Blink twice if you need help!” Had me dying

[@bettyreads222]

Lol there is an emo version of Rob Pat it's his Batman 😅 appreciated the giggles this brought me just now as the chronic pain is a bit much today.

[@KorokSeedss]

12:01 The scene style actually has made a comeback!! I’m a scene kid myself XD

[@books_and_baubles8329]

More book cover videos like this please ❤️📚

[@mimirudollfie3532]

About to go to work but had to have my Jesse fix before I left. Great video!!

[@Bongobert]

The german twilight books actually have a pun in the title. Bis zum morgengrauen means "until dawn" translated with the bis meaning until but they put a second s to make it biss which translates to bite

[@valeriadentis1630]

Another italian cover that I never, ever, saw as an italian! Where are these covers coming from? :D Love your videos!

[@lisajenny9]

This was so entertaining!!! Thanks Jesse!

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

I can't breathe from all the laughter 😂😂😂😂 you are a legend, Jesse!

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

The Font in Our Stars 🌚🌚🌚

[@lilacsack6391]

You forgot the Japanese Twilight editions! Along with their MSpaint looking anime covers, they got creative new titles such as "Whom I Loved was a Vampire" and "Give me a Cold Kiss"

[@seapotato2782]

"When are we getting the debut of emo Robert Pattinson?" *The batman has entered the chat*

[@lost.in.prose.]

The fault in our stars takes me back to Jesse's first video! ❤🎉🎉

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

Is it even a Jesse video if it doesn't have a chaotic intro? *violent mug tapping ensues*

[@MushuOfShopia]

I love when you upload!

[@Mihopps]

Maybe take a look at the german covers for the Iron Fey series. I love the story and that we have it completely translated but the covers are… interesting. (Also the titles? „Summer Night“, „Fall Night“, „Winter Night“ and „Spring Night“ why??)

[@yehwellwhatever]

The Swedish cover of TFIOS was actually what made me buy the book and binge read it in like five hours straight. I’d seen the US cover beforehand and that cover hadn’t made me want to pick up the book at all.

[@emelie_bb]

regarding the Swedish edition of the fault in our stars, the title in Swedish is "sooner or later I'll explode", which makes the cover make more sense (I don't like it though)

[@Neon_Lightning]

I only ever had the US versions of Twilight, I have legitimately never seen a UK cover in any of my local book stores (I’m a born and raised Brit and I didn’t even know there was a different cover)

[@kamalikatalukdar6070]

Absolutely loved this video . My book slump is an all time high right now so it's great comfort seeing this type of video topic . Never judge a book by its cover but damn those book covers be looking fine❤😂. I'm working a lot on my laptop for my assignments so the issue of the perfect font comes up often .😅 I definitely have a few pet peeves in relation to fonts so thank you Jesse for making me feel normal about it❤. About the twilight covers ... Honestly Stephanie Meyer 's original cover before the US edition came out represents the state of my preparation for exams 😂😢 and wtf was the last one 😮 i nearly closed my phone because of that . The Indonesian covers are winning the game ❤ Definitely agree , the Arabic edition of TFIOS is a bit spoilery but maybe it's because it's obvious to us who knows the story by heart . The original cover will always be my number one because of the sheer nostalgia. It's such an iconic cover ❤. The Chinese edition and the Japanese edition are my favourite ones too❤.

[@claire4518]

lmao and satisfying... sometimes you just could stop wondering where is that cover of the book coming from

[@estefizamora]

My copy of "the fault in our stars" is in spanish and is exactly like the american version: the blue background with the black and white clouds (i'm from mexico, btw) 😅

[@pamelakibildis1177]

Great Video Jesse Those covers were interesting Lol 😂 but I’m with you I loved the Indonesian cover for The Cruel Prince absolutely stunning 🤩 Have a Wonderful Day tomorrow

[@lenastorm6280]

15:48 The I in Prince also looks like a sword.

[@lauravsthepage]

Isnt the Night Circus described as black and white and red? Or am I tripping? Edit 1: Oh and I 100% did not order The Night Circus from the UK to Canada just for their nicer looking edition… actually yes I did. Edit 2: how dare you point out the edition text at the bottom I never noticed that.

[@VC-cx8gf]

4:42 "when are we getting the debut of emo robert pattinson" we got that its called The Batman

[@aisling_90]

Jesse, we got Emo Robert in The Batman 🦹🏻‍♂️

[@giselas2413]

Really would like you to do carry on series covers there are so many good international ones

[@the_reading_apprentice]

The Dutch Night Circus cover made me think of Kaz Brekker for some reason - and while that’s probably not what they want, but I’m not mad about it

[@gabriellabatel]

haha, fault in our stars spoilers...I get you, jesse!

[@aniruddhajadhav3312]

Hey Jesse I love your editing, can you tell me which app you use?

[@jessethereader]

thanks! i use final cut pro.

[@mynameissami]

“What in the Ed Hardy?!” I am literally deceased. 💀😂

[@EoinWalsh]

You should read the Spanish love Deception as I’m interested to hear your thoughts on it. The book has MANY mixed opinions, and personally, it wasn’t terrible, but it is famous for a certain line that is laughably bad.😂

[@destinyangelxx6034]

please please please take a look at the swedish version of the secret history! i need your reaction XD also other swedish covers to look at would be circe, red white and royal blue, book lovers and the summer i turned pretty.

[@AninditaDas-hk8sm]

lemme tell you jesse, your bookshelf is most definitely NOT LACKING BOOKS

[@Julia-lg7dt]

Actually John Green loves the swedish edition. Look it up. And the title is not a direct translation. For some reason it’s called ”sooner or later I will explode”. Hence the granade I guess.

[@FaithMurri]

No, I'm with you on the stacked name thing. I was literally thinking the exact same thing before you said it

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

12:35 that edition of tfios is giving historical fiction, definitely not YA contemporary

[@EoinWalsh]

OMG YES, THE KING OF READING IS BACK.

[@patax144]

I am just laughing at some of the translations like in portugese "it says it is the stars fault" which is not what the title was meant to say

[@athenalester7594]

Fun video! Thanks! Also, I may have missed this, but did you take all the dust jackets off your books? What did you do with them?

[@kayleytucker8014]

You should look at the empress of flames by Mimi Yu. The cover it was originally supposed to be vs the cover that it is now… its really tragic

[@sarahhulse9979]

Ooh first comment!!!! Love you Jesse!!! You’re so funny!!! I turned 22 today!!!!

[@katsch_0724]

Happy birthday!! :)

[@ADHDK1D]

I'm from the UK and have never seen that addition of Twilight here

[@anahisebrooks5065]

English version of Night circus is giving Twilight zone

[@novemberninth4392]

You have no idea every time I see Indonesia's Twilight cover in my bookstore and I went "oooh, what's this pretty thing? Oh it's Twilight."

[@SerenaRosetail]

I think u should check the editions for Winger and also Shadow and Bone personally

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

I'm assuming the green tint on that one Twilight cover was somehow supposed to be a like....twilight hours lighting? Or something?? (Or maybe it was drawing inspiration from the first movie?😅🙃😂😂) I would imagine they left her eyes brown specifically so she could be identified as Bella though .. because Bella having brown eyes was kind of a thing. ? But, who knows! Lol

[@Fruits0Basket0Fan]

My favorite cover of The Night Circus is actually the Japanese one! It's really beautiful and ethereal.

[@colleensnyder8943]

Afternoon entertainment I needed….😂

[@aaliyah.ally05]

Guess my homework can wait for a bit longer...

[@isaa1782]

Ngl I always liked the German twilight cover. It makes the book look way more classy than it is. And the pun in the tile is funny

[@wordstowordlessthings]

if you did vlogs reading the twilight series, i'd watch the heck out of them js

[@amandacosta6759]

I actually love that Russian edition of the night circus!

[@angrybirb8928]

Fun fact! Since the style you called Anime was done on the Korean cover, its likely manhwa! Essentially the korean equivalent of manga!
