romances, flops, and 2024 reading goals ✨ weekly reading vlog: 16

[@maddywilkie]

i think a good way to connect with other booktubers is making a video where booktubers choose what you read 💗

[@jaimeslibrary]

omg i love that idea thank u my love

[@goddessnix444]

you are adorable. i love your chatty rambles. i think you may be scared of long books because you're quite worried about the numbers of books you read and usually big books take longer to read and may not fit into a single reading vlog which you could stress about. please read what you like and stop doubting and planning to read big books. just pick it up. i just finished crooked kingdom and it's not the longest book i've ever read but i've been reading it since december and that's fine. :) i prefer you reading 2 long books and loving them rather than trying to fit 5 short books into a vlog to have more to talk about and end up not enjoying them. your personality and aura is why i watch you loyally.

[@zoeysbooksthings8165]

i’m sorry but you at 29:46 is giving Sophie from Mamma Mia and you are so cute 😭😭🩷 I love watching your vlogs, Jaime!

[@zachzackzak]

Another way to incorporate film would be reading challenges of "trying to read books that give the same vibe as X movie"

[@SophL.]

The movies chats would be so fun!! Giving me Dawson Leery vibes with the love of films 😂❤

[@haileya7803]

Jamie this is literally so cringe of me to write but I just what you to know you’re not alone. I’m and 18 year old college student who’s 4 hours away from my family because I’m dedicated to better my families life so I’m in medical school. I’ve completed my first semester and I’ve got all A’s. I’m proud of my self but it’s very draining. I don’t really have friends, a boyfriend, or family with me. I watch your and many other creators videos because it brings me comfort in my hard times. Seeing you be so real about your struggles and keep trying even if deep down you might not be 100% okay continuously inspires me. I’m not trying to be cringe but I just want you to know that I relate to you a lot and in the end I’m a little depressed rn so I’m in my feelings but I’m very thankful for the effort you continuously put out❤ love ya

[@jaimeslibrary]

never ever ever cringe to be open about how you feel! you should be super proud of yourself, you've acomplished so much. friends and relationships will come when the time is right but you're clearly so self-sufficient on your own and the right people are hopefully just around the corner. thank you so much for your kind words, sending so much love and light right back to you x

[@pixelfull-1]

loved this! I would love the little movie reviews at the end of vlogs, or even separate videos entirely. I am always looking for movie recs!

[@miyaben6601]

I literally can’t watch other booktubers anymore cause no one compares

[@jaimeslibrary]

you're too kind!!!!!

[@Kiki-oo3bw]

SO here for the movies, adding you on letterboxd!!

[@jaimeslibrary]

thank u!!!!

[@Thirtynerdy]

Loved this vlog and the little movie review at the end was fun! I like having your movie wrap up too - always fun to get movie recs 😊

[@phoebsreadss]

I so feel you on finding it hard to just reach out to people. I’m a booktuber and I’m 25 and just feel like I’m too old to be trying to make friends😂 it feels like everybody else has already established who they want to be friends with which is so silly of me so think that way but it’s so hard as an adult!

[@cazluvr]

please continue the weekly movie wrap-ups!!

[@joreneereads]

Your hair looks soooo gorgeous in this video!! Wavy girl dreams

[@jaimeslibrary]

AHHH THANK U SO MUCH

[@chloefrank1309]

Jaime is keeping us fed with all these videos lately, so happy to see you loving your reading!! (except for that one book of course)🫖😆

[@jaimeslibrary]

ily!!!

[@mcknakyli]

please keep letting us know the movies/shows you are watching! i also feel like my reading has taken over my life and i’ve been lacking on watching movies too and wanting to get more into them this year ☺️🩷 love you Jaime!!!!

[@tperlmut75]

Hi Jaime, Happy New Year. This is your channel, you can post whatever you choose to post and I will appreciate and respect your opinions. If anyone gives you a hard time or treats you in a disrespectful manner because of content you are choosing to share, that is someone that does not deserve power to make you feel badly about yourself(don't let them live in your head). I know this is your career so you want to keep your audience, but you are more important than the number of subscribers you have. You deserve to be treated with respect, please let this be the year where you don't settle for less than you deserve (even if that means letting go of negative subscribers) What you focus on grows, no one else lives in your skin. I hope you focus on you, and what makes you happy, because you deserve to be happy. If you are happy with your content your audience will follow and love watching you glow. Your shine is bright and beautiful.

[@jaimeslibrary]

thank you very much for your incredibly kind and generous words. appreciate you!

[@sneeze4254]

This is gonna save me from my winter blues 💞💞💞

[@angelinep9206]

i don’t ever comment on booktube as well 😅 i recently started a booktok account though, as a whole booktube channel seemed too daunting. i really enjoyed the feel of this vlog! it felt real and genuine and i appreciate that 🥰 i also love that you’re from nz haha. i’m from australia and i want to see more book creators from this side of the world!

[@beautifulmama862]

I love the summer vibes considering it's winter here and 20 degrees lol so I'll take it......but thank you for another great video Jaime ❤ I'd love to get to know you more you are truly amazing

[@jaimeslibrary]

thank you so much beautiful x

[@silviamuzzioli]

I love when you talk about movies :)

[@ChanelChapters]

Putting your vibes out there will attract your tribe x

[@pinkpup1404]

[@jaimeslibrary]

[@loverofpages]

I NEED to read some abby jimenez!! This also had me CRAVING summer

[@jaimeslibrary]

THANK U LEA!! manifesting a gorgeous summer for u on the other side of the world in june x

[@lydiamcguire3950]

Tell us about the films you’ve watched and recommend books with the same vibes! I would love that content! 💜

[@jaimeslibrary]

ooh yes brilliant idea!!

[@gunk1152]

I love the idea of movie reviews in your vlogs!

[@Mano-Wan]

Part of Your World was my favorite romance last year and was in my overall top 5 reads of 2023... I LOVED it and it sealed Abby Jimenez as a FAV... I've since read all her books ♥

[@jaimeslibrary]

i always knew u had the best taste x

[@christeascozycorner]

i don't read a lot of contemporary romance, but I FREAKING LOVE PUNK57. there's just something special about that book 🙏 (although every time i think about that book i remember what you say about authors praising their own writing HAHAHA)

[@Rebecca-jz8uo]

Omg yes would love little movie chats

[@nightowlcherry]

this made me miss summer SO much!! the beach vibes were everything, thanks for sharing your little holiday with us and bringing us along 🩷💗 hearing your thoughts about the new year was so inspiring! your weekly reading vlogs are how i started watching you so i'm excited to have those regularly in 2024 🥰 also i'm so here for all the movie content!! bring it on xx

[@jaimeslibrary]

love u cherry!

[@vonhammershark]

Omg I would love if you talked about movies! We love a fellow filmé bro 😍

[@jaimeslibrary]

filmbros? ❌ cinehoes? ✅

[@maddywilkie]

30:10 omg I love this top

[@maddywilkie]

also your hair!? the beach does justice to ur hair, I wish I had the same experience the beach just gives my hair tangles lmao

[@ReaderandWriter.]

With series like Throne of Glass where there are like what, 8, 12 books in a series, let's say. One book apart of your monthly TBR so you can go through said series in a year but have other books from your TBR to read. A Throne of Glass or a Sarah J. Maas video at the end of the year. I would love to see more collabs with booktubers. I would love to see a live where booktubers are talking with their viewers about books. Or react to other creators reading your favorite books and give your opinion. So many fun guys and gals out there.

[@wildcherrygirl]

in the last clip you are giving such sophie from mamma mia vibes! ❤

[@fashingrl]

Props for finishing Things I Wanted To Say- I DNF’d and I only have done that a handful of times. I am trying to loosen up And do that more because so many books and never enough time. ❤

[@jaimeslibrary]

omg i should have dnf'd!! you had the right idea bestie

[@tperlmut75]

side note..I would love to know how you do that beautiful pink eye look that you wear..it looks beautiful on you!

[@jaimeslibrary]

i'll do a grwm in the next vlog x

[@tperlmut75]

ty so much!@@jaimeslibrary

[@BrookesBooks]

I'm the same, I watch so much booktube but rarely ever comment! I love the community but I feel so detached from it sometimes 😭

[@jaimeslibrary]

me too! well thank u for commenting on this one 🥰

[@aanya2232]

Love the movie review idea! Great vlog as always ❤

[@jaimeslibrary]

thank u so much x

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I’m sending you love and a great year❤❤❤

[@samanthah9560]

With your book buying ban this year you could make an updated physical tbr video now and then look back at the end of the year and see how much of it you read 😄

[@jaimeslibrary]

yes! definitely have that in the works

[@IzzyRain]

I can definitely relate to being scared to message people or even comment on videos 😭

[@jaimeslibrary]

it's scary!!!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

And now I desperately want to go to the beach 😭

[@Chrissi15]

I know it doesn’t help your body dysmorphia but I wanted you to know that I think you looked beautiful in this vlog!

[@oumaimasbooks]

Hi 👋 I'm a booktuber 😅 I love your beach waves btw❤

[@jaimeslibrary]

hello!! thank u!!

[@jessiepostshere]

I’m trying to comment more on videos instead of being a silent lurker - trying to be involved is hard and scary though 😂

[@jaimeslibrary]

omg i totally get that! i love my silent lurkers AND my commenters so thank u very much for being brave and commenting on this one x

[@heathers_happily_ever_afters]

Hi! I'm a really small booktuber, but I really enjoy your channel. You seem like a really nice person and I'd like to make more booktuber friends too. ^_^

@@jaimeslibrary how’s your summer going so far? I miss summer here I’m over winter already lol

[@Hannahsreadingcorner]

Hey Jamie! My name is Hannah and I'm a new booktuber, I would love to get to know you and maybe become friends!❤I also don't have many friends that I can talk BookTube with or even talk about books with that's one of the reasons I started my Channel.

[@jaimeslibrary]

just subscribed! your cat is so cute x

[@Hannahsreadingcorner]

@@jaimeslibrary Thank you! She’s wild lol🥰

[@samanthalee9878]

I wasn't aware you had body dysmorphia. I could never understand how someone as beautiful as you would always say you looked like a wreck. You never do.

[@jaimeslibrary]

that is so lovely to say, thank you! haven't talked about it much ever, even with friends but i recently felt like it was important to share so maybe others could feel not alone
