[@RexReadsStuff]

[@jessethereader]

PRAISE THE LORD ABOVE xD

[@michaelaporee260]

omg same

[@nicojones9411]

THIS IS MY DREAM. God I love Victoria Schwab

[@tashapolis]

You could have broken out into Hamilton lyrics about 10 times in this video!!

[@gracehzhuang]

I CANT WAIT TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON JULIA VANISHES!!!! (:

[@anniev.2641]

I just finished The Raven King and I'm having the biggest book hangover ever. That series was the end of me... I've never read something that perfect since Harry Potter.

[@GoldyEl]

This Savage Song was as close to an original idea as you can get! Beautiful writing as always from Schwab and the way she incorporates the monsters into the world and what they are MY GOODNESS it's clever - definitely pick it up soon, I need people to discuss the wonder of that book with!

[@plutoparadox]

Oh my goodness, I love A Separate Peace! It's probably my favorite classic, it changed me so much as a person...

[@aa-cx8wb]

yeeees, I loved loved loved a separate peace. it has this enthralling atmosphere that I can't really fully explain, and I am so happy that booktubers are reading it, because more people should know about this book. it touches on such important topics as friendship, innocence, guilt and war, and it's got some unreliable characters. anyway, hope you enjoy it as well Jesse

[@trinityp.5212]

dystopian books are my favorite!

[@KelseyReads]

Their Eyes Were Watching God was such a trip! So in high school when we had to read it, we had a project at the end. My friend chose to put songs along with the characters, and now whenever I hear At Last by Etta James, I think of that darn book .

[@mdelaney4619]

a separate peace is one of my favorite classics!!

[@RachieSSays]

I picked up Marked girl and Queen of Hearts. A Separate Peace is beautiful. I read it in 10th grade and fell in love with it. One of my favorite classics to date. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did Jesse!

[@kevinkelly_]

I really wanna read Queen of Hearts!!

[@CharlotteEdmonds626]

I love your shirt! That's my favorite Harry Potter quote. And I loved the marked girl trailer!

[@HannahCassieBooks]

I cannot wait to read Savage Song! The fact that it has no romance is just so so appealing to me :)

[@OliviaWilliford]

I love A Separate Peace! I read it my sophomore year in high school, and I loved it!

[@jopodie]

i had to read A Separate Peace in my high school literature class and i absolutely loved it. Its one of the few books from that time still to be found on my shelf. A great read.

[@Katesbookdate]

Queen of Hearts sounds SO GOOD

[@kimberlysreads]

I really loved Queen of Hearts. I read it when it first came out (in paperback version).

[@literabby]

Ugh.. I LOVED A Separate Peace, it's so beautiful and real and heartbreaking, can't wait to hear your thoughts

[@carmenmetoyer1148]

AHHHHH A Separate Peace is so good!!!

[@HollyByGollyBooks]

I hate watching videos on my phone because by the time I comment and want to fangirl about all of the books I saw, I've already forgotten most of the book names lmao. but SO MANY good books in this haul!!! I'm soooooooo looking forward to This Savage Song, NO ROMANCE!? That seriously never happens. I'm so excited right now lol

[@annakathrynbaxter1020]

I'm so pumped for This Savage Song bc NO ROMANCE FINALLY!!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

The Forgetting sounds amazing! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!

[@palestblue]

Rook sounds so awesome!! I think I will have to give that a try, too! :) Thank you so much for this wonderful haul video, so many great books!!

[@hardbackhoarder]

I don't want to pick up Savage Song until I see more reviews on it because I've been very ehhhh towards it so far. Can't wait to see what you think!

[@annameyers4618]

i cant wait to hear your reaction of a seperate peace. i loved that book

[@anna--emilia]

I'm super intrigued about the Savage Song, Schwab has yet to disappoint so I'm hoping this will be as good as her others!

[@LadyxGreyWolf]

Rook starts off pretty slow, but about halfway through the pace picks up and it gets really interesting!

[@samdailey4854]

Rook does sound really interesting. And I had to read A Separate Peace my junior year of high school (11 years ago) so I don't remember it all that well but I do remember finding it interesting.

[@teatimewitht6937]

Every time I watch your videos, my TBR grows. 😪

[@yaoilover2145]

Hey I'm a new subscriber and watching all your videos in the last week has got me back into reading and picking up books. This week I have picked up 12 books, 6 comic trades and 6 manga. Thanks for inspiring me and happy reading!

[@paigebrown7285]

I'm reading A Separate Peace for summer reading for my English class!

[@JohannaSusanne]

I need to pick up This Savage Song. No Romance?! I need this. :D

[@FableForager]

I just picked up Rook as well! Can't wait to finally get a chance to read it. I hope you enjoy it!

[@chelseahui3902]

OMG can't wait to hear your thoughts on Queen of Hearts!!!

[@cyriellejeanne7855]

Rook and This Savage Song are SO AWESOME

[@ReadBooksRead]

Every time you do the SWOOSH at the beginning it scares the crap out of me!! Great video though 😜

[@DebleenaBiswas]

i will be doing my june haul as well. i am so guilty since i could not read as much because i had my college exams.. i loved your haul soo much.. i want to read alice in wonderland everything 😂😂😂 its always facinating to dive into that world.. 😍😍

[@2write2sing2dance]

I picked up RED QUEEN and I'm thinking of getting A COURT OF MIST AND FURY too.

[@TheCamillion]

So many interesting books in this haul

[@ericreads8033]

I AM OBSESSED.

[@booknerd0802]

Jesse you always inspire me to read new books.

[@4everAFIfan]

Their Eyes Were Watching God was a book I was required to read in my sophomore english class! It was really good in my opinion. I hope you're enjoying it!!

[@susiek9569]

I really loved Queen of Hearts!

[@Overatedbeauty]

I LOVE THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD!!!! ONE OF MY FAVS, YOU WILL LOVE IT! AND THEIRS A MOVIE THAT WAS ALSO AMAZING!

[@nicnovel8907]

I picked up A Court of Thorns and Roses, I like it so far but I'm waiting to love it!!

[@bridgetcones]

It takes a while to get into but keep going because the second one is a million times better!!

[@nicnovel8907]

+Catrin Savannah I seriously can't wait! ACOTAR is just starting to get good! ^.^

[@lilshawty7615]

That book was good. But trust me if you don't LOVE this book you will honestly 100% LOVE the next one, a court of mist and fury

[@kaysiajorja6176]

okay so I really really need this savage song now

[@sandyreadsalot]

The Forgetting sounds really good! I was able to get a copy at BEA so I'm excited to read it! :)

[@kaitlinharbour2151]

instead of creating a book tag you could do a bookmark tag as all readers have tons of bookmarks some with special memories. I don't know, in my mind it sounds like an interesting idea

[@MsMegsc]

a separate peace I can't fully remember but I do remember I liked it, I read it like 14 years ago lol

[@JuliaLeighE]

Lol both classics you got were ones I read this year in school! I enjoyed both, Their Eyes Were Watching God was a bit tough. A Separate Peace was good too! It's an easier read, but I really enjoyed it!!!!!!!!

[@Joe_Maysky]

I think you will enjoy A Separate Peace! Read it in 10th grade English and it impacted me a lot about my ideas of friendship and loyalty. Also jealous about This Savage Song!

[@michaelaporee260]

Au separate peace is amazing

[@linkookie4723]

Humm Cinder is a dystopia placed in Beijing.. Rook sounds amazing tho

[@kristenbooks]

I had to read both of those classics for school. A Separate Peace has always made me think of Dead Poets Society (DPS is definitely better IMO tho), but it's been 8 years since I've read it so I don't remember everything about it at this point. And I enjoyed Their Eyes Were Watching God. Not something I'd pick up on my own, but it was one of the better books I've had to read for school. If you're curious to pick up other classics after you read these, some other 20th century classics that I love are: -And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (reads as easily as a modern book, with a really interesting mystery. Her other books are awesome as well.) -Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (Really interesting early dystopian novel) -1984 (Another early dystopia. It's a toss-up as to which of the two is better) IDK if you've already had to read those for class or anything, but if you haven't, they're worth a read.

[@FictionalSarah]

I need to get This Savage Song! I'm going to see Victoria Schwab in August and I'm so excited. I just bought a Gathering of Shadows for my e-reader too :)

[@savannahrose4836]

this month I got , The beginning of everything , To kill a mockingbird, the BFG , IN real life , and The child pirate.

[@jenniferchambers844]

The savage song sounds interesting!

[@purplepuppy2387]

I love love love Thier Eyes Were Watching God, I read it earlier this year and it completely changed my views on love and life and adventure

[@reillysreads4539]

These books seem so awesome! I'll have to hop to the bookstore and record a video real quick... :)

[@crayonfactory6340]

I'm planning on going a book shopping spree soon with the book store gift cards I got from my graduation party ^^ I'm not sure what all I want to get but hopefully I find some good new books! At the very least I'll probably use it to buy old books I haven't gotten to buy yet (*cough* the Harry Potter series *cough*)

[@theyabooklover1989]

Fun fact about Queen of Hearts: I met Colleen at BookCon, and she told me that she was interested in telling a story about why someone could become so mean, and she decided love was the only answer. And she and her husband were going through a period of infertility so she poured all of her anger with that into the book.

[@mikebadussy]

Just finished A Darker Shade of Magic today, and I have to say, I'm impressed with V.E. Schwab's writing. Thanks for introducing me to her. Will be picking up This Savage Song.

[@haleylgarner]

There are so many books in this video that I cannot wait to read! I can't wait to see what you have to say!

[@foxclouds]

I read Rook last year and really enjoyed it. As a matter of fact I picked up my own copy only this week! But I chose a hardback as it is nicer texture :)

[@Bibliosaurusrex]

Not only are most dystopians in the states, but just most books in general 😅 it's a bit strange seeing as tons of other countries are sUpEr cOoL aNd DeSeRvE MoRe LURVVV¡!¡

[@teatimewitht6937]

Hmm. After writing my Mystic Chronicles series, might have to write a dystopian trilogy that takes place in England/Somewhere in Europe (I live here and it's easier to write about a place you live in).

[@user-xb3xz9eh8x]

AH! He hit the book! 😂 I like your shirt btw :)

[@marisolvallers]

I'm excited to read This Savage Song! It was a great video Jesse, greetings from Mexico 💕

[@safachell4193]

i really enjoy watching your videos jesse 📚

[@annahitarezai3380]

love your shirt always handy bookhaul

[@stevetrowbridge7425]

A YA book with no romance??? Finally!!!!

[@MollieMase]

My AP Literature class read Their Eyes Were Watching God! I didn't finish it because it was the last full month of school and I was a senior so I just wanted to be done. But, I really enjoyed what I read and want to finish it eventually.

[@Ms1112223334567]

If you like middle grade fantasy, I highly, HIGHLY recommend a series called Wings of Fire. It's about dragons and prophecies, and it's pretty hardcore. The characters are wonderful and the themes are wonderful, and you must read it!!!

[@AnnaInReaderland]

Had to read a separate peace for school last year as a junior. It was....interesting.

[@livingamongpages]

I really want to read Queen of Hearts!!! Also, This Savage Song, never read a V. E. Schwab book (shame on me!)! Can't wait to hear your thoughts about those books!! Greetings from Argentina!

[@LibraryFairy762]

I really want to get my hands on Rook - it sounds fabulous :)

[@isabellasorensen7976]

I have to read A Separate Peace for summer reading!! You should do a book talk to help me out☺️☺️

[@kaitlinharbour2151]

love your shirt

[@leilanylopez1139]

Jesse I'm waiting for your book review for A Court of Mist and Fury!! We need to discuss all the 💩that WENT DOWN. ohhh lawwd the feeling I went through. I must know I'm not alone out here

[@cassidy_reads]

I had to read Their Eyes Were Watching God for one of my classes and I actually really liked it! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. I also had to read A Separate Peace, but I didn't enjoy that one haha

[@stephanierodriguez4773]

I've already read Queen of Hearts and it was great and DARK

[@stepcrab]

I loved A Separate Peace! Its a bit of a painful read, but in a good way ;)

[@Beautifulday4makeup]

Ik wil the forgetting ook erg graag gaan lezen. Kon er alvast een hoofdstukje van lezen en ben benieuwd

[@paulamarielatrejo3468]

I now want to read all those books hahha. I actually picked up the twilight saga and I'm currently on the third of the four books :) and I also hope to pick up Everything Everything and Me Before You

[@thecroissantlassie6321]

*pulls out TBR list^

[@SarahTheTrekkie]

This month I bought Rebel of the Sands and Gotham Academy Volume 2. I can't wait to read them. The cover for Rook is so pretty. I hope you are enjoying Percy Jackson?

[@htt8372]

Am I the only one who thought of Marissa Meyers new book 'Heartless'. Which is a FAIRY TALE RETELLING in the perspective of QUEEN OF HEARTS as a KID!!!!😼✌🏼️

[@havenkamps7931]

I think you might really enjoy the monstermologist series by Rick Yancy I really liked them

[@aftersunfilm]

queen of hearts sounds kind of like heartless

[@AllThatsPink07]

Can you do another bookshelf tour please?

[@letitia.mtl31]

You should read When you reach me by Rebecca Stead. It's amazing, I totally recommand it you!

[@MaddyTherese]

Ohhh so there's another queen of hearts book not just heartless by Marissa Meyer

[@mandiconnell3311]

Sometime, if you ever feel like it, you should check out East of Eden by John Steinbeck. It's a very large classic but it is SO GOOD. It's one of my all time favorite books :D

[@zenasarah220]

Such a great haul Jesse!! I loved it!

[@carlywalsh5264]

This month I plan on reading The Heir, The Crown, and This is The End

[@autumnjones4851]

I read A Separate Peace in class. It's okay. The ending made me mad though lol

[@Georgiamarie23]

Will you do a video about the music you listen to while you read??

[@maddiemoiselle9998]

I doubt you'll ever see this comment, Jesse, but my biggest dream in life is to be a published author and you're one of my favorite BookTubers, so I hope that one day I'll be able to watch a video you make about my book, regardless of what your opinion of it is (but it would be amazing to know that you loved it).

[@jessethereader]

i see every comment posted on my videos! would love to read your book someday. keep reaching for your dreams!

[@maddiemoiselle9998]

In that case, I'm writing a book right now so I'll be sure to comment if/when it gets published! And thanks for making my day with this comment!!

[@celine3302]

If you want to get published you could try to publish it on Wattpad, and try to contact a bookstore or a library... I hope you'll be able to publish it, I'm sure it will be awesome!

[@taylorwaddell1333]

Girl, I know the dream! it's mine as well! I can't wait to read your book! I'm hoping to publish mine sometime soon

[@maddiemoiselle9998]

I'd definitely love to read yours if you get published! And thank you! :)

[@AnonGro]

Luckily, This Savage Song came out 10 days ago in the UK! :D HA!

[@teatimewitht6937]

Great, can't wait to pick that up. 😊

[@oliviamarie2262]

Great video Jesse!
