HI LOVES. So, since I filmed this video, I have indeed finished reading Tress….. and Mistborn is for sure the better book for me hehe. Sorry for the switch up! 😂 this is why we need to finish books before commenting on them lol oops Hope you all are having a lovely weekend! ❤

[@jaimefok]

I’ve also read Funny Story now by Em Hen, and while I loved it- Happy Place still wins for me!

[@allybrown2093]

If you want to try a Stephen King novel Fairy Tale would be a good one! It’s a fantasy novel but still very much his writing style

[@jaimefok]

This sounds really cool actually!!

[@paytonouber6448]

I second this!

[@gujadhurgeet8530]

This book is just amazing...im currently reading it...just cant put the book down 😊

I`ve read almost all of the Jane Auste`s books and i`d recommend you to try again. I loved her books some time ago (it`s just an easy reading light books with good endings, but sometimes we all need these). Pride and prejudice is also one of my least favorites of her, but i remember really liking Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion and Mansfield Park Also as always thank you for the new video!

[@jaimefok]

I think my issue with it was they kept addressing everyone by their last names. And I couldn’t keep track of who was talking to who, because in the family scenes- they all had the same last name 😂 so I was frustrated at that

[@paytonouber6448]

I liked this one. I thought you were going to try out books from people’s favorite authors when you did the poll. It would be fun to see a video like this but doing your thoughts on movie/tv adaption vs book. Also, funny to see how your thoughts have changed about Tress since you finished the book. I love Jane Austen but I can’t sit and read her books, I have to listen to them. It helps me hear the humor more. She is so witty!

[@jaimefok]

Glad you liked it and that sounds like a fun idea!! Ohh audiobook may work better for Jane Austen, you might be onto something!

[@selcanqurbanli]

I actually reaallly liked the "Love Hypothesis" I dont know maybe the vibe or something else I binged that book and gave it solid 5 stars, and after reading that I ordered almost every book from her (exept check n mate and bride) I reaaalllyy loved her writing style cause its so silly and bingebale. And the fact that she is familiar with science world, as a master student I can see myself in the some part of the world that she wrote about so yeah, maybe its something personal idk.

[@jaimefok]

Her writing is HILARIOUS! I think her humour is one of the best parts in her books. And almost everyone I know LOVED the love hypothesis!

[@milenealmeida7150]

Emma is actually my favorite by Jane Austen. It's just so much better than every other book by her, I think you should try it!

[@jaimefok]

ok good to know!!

[@juilie3287]

Love the concept, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Have a great week 💖

[@jaimefok]

you too!!

Interesting video. The author I have read the most from is Yasmine Galenorn. She did a series called The Otherworld Sisters of the Moon series. It was 21 books long plus some short stories. I couldn't actually pick out one of the books as best or one as worst because there are so many

[@jaimefok]

That is a lot of books for sure!

[@amygray510]

I really want to read poppy wars trilogy.. just ordered them they should be here tomorrow 😊

[@jaimefok]

DO IT!!!!

[@laurenleighross]

Ok maybe unpopular opinion but I think one reason so many people stan Jane Austen is for the nostalgia factor of when they were younger and read her for the first time. I read P&P for the first time as an adult, and it just wasn’t hitting for me.

[@jaimefok]

Ohhh- you have a good point there actually!

[@Yaelpodeh]

Cant choose a fav book but I LOVE guillaume musso and you should definitely try reading his books too

[@jaimefok]

I’ll look him up!

[@mighty_scrap]

Have you ever tried his brother, Valentin Musso? I took his book at the library by mistake and i was pleasantly surprised.

[@jaimefok]

@@mighty_scrap i have not!!

[@geraldineleon735]

Dawn Brown is forever my favorite though right now I'm more into fantasy and Throne of Glass has my heart 😅 Find a bit funny how you don't like smut but Acotar series is quite heavy 😂

[@jaimefok]

I love ACOTAR for the story hahah. It’s also why I didn’t really like ACOSF compared to the rest of the series 😂

[@geraldineleon735]

@@jaimefok totally agree, love it but got me uncomfortable 🤣

[@ekstanding]

I need to give VE Schwab another chance cause I've only read Addie LaRue and at this point it's on sight for that author. I thought the concept for that story was good, but the execution was so poorly done that it's resulted in years long beef. Like I read it over two years ago and I still feel angry when I think about it 😂 I also haven't met too many people who are on team "Addie is a bad book" so I know I'm in the minority here, but I didn't care about the stakes of any of the characters, especially Henry (or Harry, whatever his name was). The only reason it survived my donation book purge is cause it's pretty on my shelf, but it's easily the worst book I've ever trusted tiktok on 😂 (in my opinion of course)

[@jaimefok]

haha I loved addie larue, but her darker shades of magic world is miles better for me. I'd say give it a try! The magic system and world are one of my favs.

[@ekstanding]

@@jaimefok I will add them to my long TBR 😂
