Mind Expanding Books To Read This Year

It's my reading rainbow corner! Hehehe, but yes, here are some recent books that I've read that left me looking like the thinking face emoji 🧐 Creating these book reports take a lot of mental energy, but I'm always so happy that I've completed them in the end.

Jenn + Books is such a good combo. I love it when you post book-related videos!!

[@hanna-anne]

One of the reasons I subscribed in the early days!

[@saraalibrahimi6198]

SAME!! We need more Jenn + Books content 😭❤

[@HoaBui-ol7ne]

I just love Jenn’s vibe sooo much and how genuine she is. It means so much more than sharing some outside things that do not last long❤❤

[@ricerice566]

This is one of the first videos of yours that I've watched in years and I'm glad to see your smile again talking about books. I think I'll really check out these recommendations 🙂 Weirdly, this video reminded me of watching my mom who I haven't been able to see for 2 years since I've been living in Korea for the time being. I've been in sort of a rough spot these days, and never realized how much I've been missing passionate, bright people in my life. I believe that's why people are so drawn to you. Thanks for everything you do.

[@sunshine-or1nt]

I finished Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow on a flight, and I was ugly-crying at the end. It's such a beautiful portrayal of friendship, love, and pure play. Thank you for sharing your book recs Jenn! Always love your book content.

[@oliviadekok9982]

It’s my favorite book ever now 🥲 so so good

[@sandrairo]

The first ever video of yours that I watched was a book recommendation video back in 2017. Never missed another video on this channel ever since, but the book videos are extra special to me, love your recs!

[@michawalczyk5242]

The same. And her accent back then encouraged me to stay here for longer :)

I always love your book recommendations. From this one, I’ll be Getting Life 3.0 and Stay True for sure. I wanna thank you for your point of view on friendships, last year I was feeling lost in this area, I thought I lost my first best friend and thanks to you, I learned how to get her back in a more mature and understanding way 💖

[@babygirl608]

Your book recommendations mean the world to me!! That’s one thing that always made me gravitate towards your channel. ❤

[@marccolomayt82094]

[@miya5117]

I love all your videos, especially your book reviews! Thank you for sharing!

[@meeklylife]

I just love listening to your thoughts, jenn

[@fatimaali1026]

New set of my new favorite books! Thanks Jen

[@user-lt5uf5rh6y]

It was very useful and enjoyable to watch.! Whenever I watch your video, I am impressed how well, organized and logically you talk. And today's your hair, make-up and hair styles are amazing. Looks so good on you.!❤

[@milikoshki]

I always like how you talk and think, Jenn :) thanks for the recs!

[@milikoshki]

had to add cuz I commented before the end of the vid- the last book and your approach to parenting! Yes! I so recommend the podcast Hidden Brain- there are multiple episodes about the importance of childhood independence and confidence building via letting kids figure shit out. It's so important!

[@Zetta333]

I love these book/think piece videos!

[@farzanaahmad4595]

FINALLY!!!! Ive been waiting your books vid

[@user-no8lq1ht9g]

I love your mind! These are such smart books

[@gindokki]

I actually just finished reading Stay True yesterday and it’s a truly a gem of a book. You summarised what made it such a wonderful read so beautifully!! Tomorrow x3 is also one of my favourite books ever so I’m so happy to have seen you include it. The other recommendations will definitely be going on my TBR because it’s such a thrilling feeling to embrace all the knowledge that the world has to offer. Thank you for this Jenn! ❤ Enjoyed this video a lot.

[@sierrak1189]

"such a thrilling feeling to embrace all the knowledge that the world has to offer" what a beautiful sentiment

Really enjoyed this video! Out of all the books I have only read tomorrow x 3 so I will definitely be checking out the rest! ❤

[@yasminvanbussel2044]

I was missing this type of video here! Thank you for sharing and keep the good work!

[@fireflythinking1290]

You succeeded in making me interested in all these books and their takeaway 😊

[@smkeong]

Always look forward Jenn new vlog

[@mkoppy]

I started reading Hunt, Gather, Parent three days ago so this timing was impeccable! I'm only 130 pages in but I am deeply interested.

[@anastasiiadots3848]

Thank you! You always have great collections of books to read.

[@pililover111]

Yay!! Another book related video!!

[@Emily31662]

I love your book videos and how you talk about what you’ve learned! 💗😊 sending you love!

[@sarahjane4772]

I literally have Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow on my shelf but haven’t made the time to read it. Now I need to!!

[@Radik-lf6hq]

❤🙇 thank you soo much for greatly expressing and composing this legendary masterpiece video! 🥺❤

[@briannaharris94]

Absolutely loved this video! Thank you for sharing :)

[@deb_step]

Thanks for sharing some great book recs! ❤

[@hyunjukim765]

Hi Jenn! I have been waiting for your contents. I will support whatever you do

[@miilkbun]

hi jenn, i absolutely love your youtube videos, the ones where you talk about lessons you've learned are my absolute favourite! i look up to you so much because of how wise and well spoken you are. i hope to grow gracefully and become more like you when i'm older. also you should really make a podcast, i'd listen to every episode!!

[@miilkbun]

when you said to try seek out people and content that feel enriching, to me your channel is the epitome of that. i studied all day for finals today but as soon as i got home and wanted to watch some comfort content, i came to your channel and immediately felt happier

[@hansgabriel3717]

i wish you could do youtube forever, jenn! your videos are timeless

[@Kerokerokero0]

Trick mirror rewired my brain honestly - so glad to see this on here

[@user-ps3fz7od7m]

I love your book recommendations! And we have a similar taste on AI or reflections on gender and society! I've read Life 3.0 three or four years ago but gave up halfway…it's little bit hard since there're too many AI concepts without explanation…

[@hyliandva7933]

Jenn, I love how well spoken you are. Any tips on how to improve that and vocabulary? Thank you

[@schmoey17]

i can't help but scroll through the comments on your uploads and i hope your support system has been there for you. i'm bamboozled by the nosy haters. so girl thank you for these videos. you can tell how much effort you put into them and how much you like making them too. i've been reading essays by robert adams, particularly his collection called the beauty of photography. it's helped me let go of some judgements around why i photograph. a love of what i see can be enough reason to take photos.

[@IamRAEdiant]

I love the tip about consume content that will enrich you. That is what I want to advocate. Being a socmed manager and blogger like me, I just want to tell everyone that social media is not evil. We just have to know how to control what we consume and change perspective.

[@baaatuu]

I love all of these book recommendations

[@Tanyapaperbacks]

I’ve missed Jenn’s book videos. Tomorrow *3 is my favourite read from last year; probably the most thought-provoking book I’ve read in a long, long time.

[@nathai]

I always wait your books recommendation, hope u could update this recently ❤️

[@Anna_Under_Fire]

As always excellent video! Thanks for recommendations.

[@CookieFridays]

I loved your reflections about social media influencers and woman in general, it was very spot on. I think about this quite a lot and it's really sad. I'm someone that has kind of fought against a lot of the societal expectations for women, but I have found myself sometimes not feeling "enough" the more I get lost in social media or in the dating world. I didn't used to care much or focus on these things and I am trying to get back to that place, not basing my self worth on how I'm physically perceived or valued by people/men.~

[@psc8580]

Iove your book reviews. so inspiring!

[@ewaw9649]

Thank you for sharing. I love this video!

[@lexiskey]

I shall put all of them on my tbr! Thank you :)

[@foreverPriscilla]

i love your videos so much Jenn

[@tingaling17]

Thanks for the last book recommendation! I have seen how parents “lose themselves” and there will always be a push/pull to things (there won’t ever be a perfect balance) but I think Asian parents tend to idolize their kids aka their whole world is centered around their children; this is a great perspective and healthier approach!

[@Kevin-nd4ri]

Thanks Jenn. I’ll start with Stay True. 🤯

[@discoveryjo1568]

Your book recommendations video never fails. I'm definitely continuing "Stay True" by: Hua Hsu since I put it on pause last month. Now that you described it, it feels like a great book to read before leaving my 20's, since I'll be turning 30 this month. :)

[@clareyee]

I hope you continue your book club! I just recently discovered it.

[@nikkiguevarra2116]

I missed Jenn!!! My gosh! Finally got a break from work ! Missed youtube

[@foreverPriscilla]

Jenn, how do you feel about screen time for toddlers? I’m curious. Love you much, xoxo

[@isabellafernandajusino5246]

Been waiting for another book video! Thank you! Haha, After I read all the books recommended in previous videos I needed another list to look forward too! Whered you get your top? Its so cute

[@lalunebunny]

Insightful reviews! 😍😍😍🥰

[@iamabbiejoy]

Hunt Gather Parent is hands down the best parenting book I have read. So helpful and inspiring.

[@breathworkfiammazoli]

just love these videos of yours

[@shamCD]

Good job on this Jenn.

[@ruth-uy9hb]

AGHHHH I MISSED THESE VIDEOS SO MUCH

[@hijustine]

[@jessiesim]

[@pamera88]

Love your book reviews❤

[@gm1rv-ame]

I'm not good at reading books but I've wanted to try to read books written in English because I'm learning English. So I could get good opportunity to read English books :) Thank you!!!!!

[@joancerezo1949]

Love your top !

[@LiBsTaRoX]

She took the photo down in the back… :(

[@jellybeansies]

Was it if her and Ben :(?

[@khushipriya4058]

Lots of love from india ❤ Ps: I love books and you are like an elder sister ❤

[@yannisliu5157]

Hi Jenn thanks for sharing .So pretty , i love your outfit ! Do you have the purchase link or brand?

[@kate10662]

My husband and I loved Hunt, Gather, Parent as well. It really makes you think twice about falling into common parenting traps and mistakes in western culture. Also, it's a well-written, interesting book in general.

[@hanago2530]

How do you select what books to read? :) Curious if you have your way or tip!

[@laurencerousseau23]

I loved your video, I hope you will do your book club again!

[@sunepapong1089]

missed you🤧
