one of the PRETTIEST books i've ever seen... | DOUBLE BOOKISH UNBOXING

[@claragee8619]

I literally gasped SO LOUD when I saw that A Marvelous Light had a clear dust jacket. Like that book is so beautiful, but that dust jacket made it a THOUSAND times better!!!!

[@teresaneves8839]

Wow! A Marvelous Light is so beautiful, I don’t think I’d be able to read it, I’d have to frame it and buy a second copy hahaha it also sounds super interesting!

[@etherasmr4720]

One thing he glossed over: the ornament is a quote from Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune! Recognized that one. :)

[@rainydaysreads]

I'm so jealous! That book jacket is beautiful!!! One day I am going to get one of those boxes.

[@caitlyn.m.t9618]

Death and Fortune is such a fitting name for the book. I read it myself and I truly loved it.

[@deszra]

W O W i thought the normal copy of a marvelous light was alr one of the prettiest books i've seen BUT THE CLEAR DUST JACKET??? color me green with envy, my goodness

[@barbarawilson9862]

Jesse! Two, count ‘em, two videos today?!! I’m overwhelmed. In a good way. I love watching you unbox Illumicrate. Their bookish things and their work of art books are just awesome! I am currently reading My Plain Jane. I needed a fun happy book. Loving it so far. I read Jane Eyre back in my teens. Appreciate the humor so much in this loose retelling. 😆😍

[@francescakyanda9182]

that book cover snake is getting their coin and I respect the hustle

[@amanekabbaj]

Those books are beyond beautiful! I’d need two copies, one for reading everywhere I go and one to stare at on my bookshelf!

[@Xatalla]

Wow! That Nemesis mug leaves me peanut butter and jealous, oh my goodness it is so beautiful. and that book cover (both) for little thieves? AMAZING

[@Romey301]

I literally NEEDED this Jesse, the over dramatic Jesse saying this as I’m working into my 12th hour today , this is exactly how I feel . Lovin it

[@nikolm.1592]

The way I get so jealous every time I watch an illumicrate unboxing but at the same time I don't want you to stop

[@irinalysak4920]

I'm currently reading I Was Born For This by Alice Oseman and loving it so much!!

[@raabiarashid2803]

You are unintentionally entertaining. I never get bored while watching ur vids!

[@penciltwirler]

I'm almost done with Little Thieves, it's great so far! 😀 Also love The Scorpio Races, it's one of my all time faves

[@vaniamehra2075]

I’m currently reading The Night Circus and I am absolutely obsessed. I am loving the book so much. Also wow those books are so pretty!!

[@wanderer4775]

Honestly Illumicrate keeps hitting it out of the park every month! The way I oooo and ahhhh when I unbox mine is hysterical

[@sternentalerswald]

Omg, that book tin is so beautiful! And it was the first time I actually recognized an artwork because The Scorpio Races is one of my absolut favorites! You should totally read it! (I guess I'd just recommend it to everyone^^)

[@Chloe_-uk6vt]

Just watched most of the video, the editing is really good and I loved this video. The new books in the video seem really interesting.

[@Lillyjoy]

My favorite thing was the sticker sheet for Nevermoor! The art is so nice :)

[@purplexzombie3371]

Oh my actual great giddy aunt. That second book is....ten types of stunning. Even if the book wasn't my style I'd need that cover

[@BuntinCozymysterylover]

3:16 I love this (≧▽≦)b! LOL And "A MARVELLOUS LIGHT" is soooooo beautiful! I screamed!

[@ashidotayo6478]

The Scorpio Races book tin is so pretty. I have read this book years ago and remember enjoying it.

[@WiseDragon50]

Awesome boxes!!!😍😍😍😍love the pin banner and bookmark case the most ❤ 🔥

[@missingyouale]

i'm currently reading library of souls and i'm enjoying it so far !!

[@BrandontheBeldam2993]

I started Serafina and the black cloak today, hopefully going to finish the series before I return them to my library.

[@gabriellaarchive]

wowowowo illumicrate boxes look so funnnn

[@nicole38568]

I'm currently group Buddy reading 'One of is lying ' with others on Instagram 😂 I love your reaction on each book. It's honest stunning these edition are

[@MrRorosuri]

i adore A marvellous light . it's one of faves of last yr

[@Jetainia]

I almost didn’t watch this yet because I didn’t know if you had the Jan one and I didn’t want to be spoiled, glad I did though because I love your illumicrate unboxings (and may have been trawling KZbin to find other unboxings after watching all of yours). Technically I’m currently reading four books, The Wicked King, Priory of the Orange Tree, The Never Tilting World, and We Hunt the Flame because I started reading the Folk of Air trilogy and then realised that I didn’t know three of the fandoms in the Jan box and decided to read them all in a week.

[@bella_9822]

I love the intro! You are so funny!

[@butzichen]

I'm finally reading Again but better! So far I enjoy it a lot :) And I loved your video, these unboxings are little bubbles of happiness for me

[@sinonimouz]

i'm sorry i skipped the video at first to see what it looks like 😂 the book is soooo pretty! 💕

[@geminithetwins]

Staying up till 3 am pays off. You get to see Jess's video early.

[@hannahmixon8768]

Absolutely love the Scorpio Races with my whole heart

[@ingvildkvakestad]

I really love watching your videos! Gonna try to read a fiction book again. Have Robinson Crusoe as reading in college. Also a source and source critisism book. Also learned where I am gonna practise being a librarien exited! Gonna pick up a book i soft dnf’ed.

[@kilianlucis]

The Scorpio Races is a beautiful book; don't let yourself miss out on it. It's an all-time favorite of mine, and not really a horse story, so don't let that put you off.

[@danielhand8676]

Where do you get your energy. Love your videos man. Anyway, currently reading A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. Really enjoying the story. Should be able to finished it tomorrow seeing as I will be snowed in. And for me, it is Hot Chocolate one should be drinking while reading. Preferably dark hot chocolate. Cheers!

[@faithfan27]

Those Illumicrate editions are gorgeous! I just finished Wendy, Darling by A.C. Wise which was really good. It's an adult fiction sequel to Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie (which I read before reading Wendy, Darling.) Today I started The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho.

[@taliareads4760]

The Nevermoor Stickers are so cool!! I love Nevermoor ☆☆☆☆☆

[@rynfrogley7239]

I've been reading the Throne of Glass series, and I'm currently on book 5. It's amazing and I love it so much.

[@campbellmason76]

The Scorpio Races is my FAVORITE Maggie Stiefvater book! It is excellent!

[@erinmariecece]

That star crossed lovers calendar isn’t a want, it’s a NEED.

[@hannahatela5918]

[@alicewiegold4425]

All of those books are beautiful... I hope to find them one day Right now, I will be reading Six Crimson Cranes and have been hearing good things about it If you are reading this, if I were to suscribe to a monthly book box in the future, which one would you recommend?

[@Books_Anime_92]

I am currently reading Iron Widow. I got it for Christmas and I have a couple more that I am going to start this month. I would love to have an Illumicrate subscription, but its based in England I don't know how much it would cost to ship boxes to the US.

[@ArchivesOfJina]

I LOVE the Scorpio races!!!

[@Lillyjoy]

I actually tried to read The Scorpio Races in January and I couldn’t finish it because it was too violent for me 😬 but that book tin is very nice

[@annaholle6310]

just finished Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson and if you want a book w/o romance this is the one for you (but as a reader who likes romance I still absolutely loved this!!!)

[@genevieveking5078]

I am not sure I care enough for book boxes. But I like to watch. Gonna read Salt To The Sea.

[@JessNipper]

I’m currently in the middle of so many books 😂 rereading House of Earth and Blood, started A Thousand Splendid Suns this evening, making my way through an ARC of Every Word You Never Said, and have The Song of Achilles on the back burner 😂 mood reader say what 👀🙈

[@sarahlikesbooks2]

Scorpio Races is worth the read! Save it for November 😊

[@booklovershourya1046]

[@vivlehman7673]

I just started reading Furyborn and its so good.

[@ariamai305]

Jesse had you read the book the name of the wind?

[@AnEmbarrassmentofBooks]

Jesse, if you haven't read Nevermoor, do yourself a favor and read it ASAP! It's amazing!

[@THIS.IS.MY.OLD.ACCOUNT-1]

for the November box I like to pretend that the book tin is Ansel and Celeana (assassins blade) and the book jacket is from Harry Potter (when they break int gringots)

[@miraculouslyscatterbrained]

Legit saw the book cover and was like I bet my life that’s Smaug…. Welp at least I was right 😂

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

I also collect stickers in my journals

[@ליהלהב-ל5ב]

[@ksenijakodrun1785]

2:05 😂😂🐴🐎

[@xjupiterchanx]

READ The SCORPIO RACES or I am gonna either cry or be mad at you I really don't know which lol but either way, it was such a good book I read years ago and Maggie Stiefvater is an awesome writer of the YA books!

[@thewitchyreader6131]

Great video!

[@indievariety]

Scorpio Races is... interesting. (Keep in mind I read it like 10 years ago, but I was also a horse girl™️.) If you like Maggie Stiefvater you'll like that book? It's weird and not really about horses. I distinctly remember it spent a lot less time on the plot and more time on the buildip? I didn't like it at all, was not exciting to read. But I also don't like Maggie Stiefvater, I tried a couple of her books

[@hildesavino295]

I am reading The Ivory Key by Akshaya Raman.

[@ksenijakodrun1785]

Yo, beastie, I just started reading The Invisble Life of Addie LaRue, like literally today!!

[@therandomshow_]

Lmao loved this 🤣

[@Colaman112]

Ok Jesse, assignment for you. You're going to get up, walk into a bookstore, buy The Hobbit and read it. Think you can do that for me?

[@Moriarty7755]

Not me realising that The Bear and the Nightingale is not a stand-alone
