Alright people let's all burn our copies of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child"!!!

[@steffi8259]

I'm down for it

[@pragyajha5881]

What I think is that J.K. Rowling wrote cursed child just to annoy readers especially harry potter fans. I think it was a really clever move to write that book. Well! Thats my opinion.

[@fotinipapacharalampous5596]

What do you mean by "Books don't bleed"? Let me remind you of Tom Riddle's diary! I mean, the closest we've been on stabbing a book, is reading about Harry stabbing one. *It* bled, so how do we know all of the other book's don't bleed if we've never done it before?

[@AbbeyKat]

Fotini Papacharalampous technically it was leaking ink, not blood so does that count as bleeding? I guess ink bleeds too. Idk 😂

[@naelie2288]

Pretty sure it was ink and blood from the Basilic (Idk how to spell)

[@kamalikatalukdar6070]

I personally prefer if books Don't bleed . Because honestly it would mean that the book is a horcrux 😰😂.

It’s a shame that book tags are fading away because I think it’s a unique way to share your opinions on certain books.

[@akimaki3354]

The title had me *QUAKING*

[@jljaina]

I hope Book Tags don't die! I love them! These account for some of my favorite videos! Fun tag, shockingly I have never heard of this one before. If I had to sacrifice a book it would likely be one of my random cozy mysteries that I have on on my TBR. I have several that I use as filler for a quick read but if one were to go away I would be okay with it. What would not be sacrificed: Out of prints, my fantasy novels or my manga.

[@novellanite12]

I liked Scarlet more in Winter's book than in her actual book

[@sophiemontecalvo7503]

[@justarandomperson2645]

I once borrowed out a book too one of my friends, and when she returned it the cover was completely ripped. I was devastated

[@maryannkrahn1341]

Classic Recommendation: "Mansfield Park.", "Pride and Prejudice.", and "Persuasion." by Jane Austen. I really enjoyed these three books. I have a ton of unread books but these 3 finally got read :) If I had to sacrifice one of my favorite books (!!!!!) to keep the rest I'd choose "Between The Lines." By Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer (The Pain ! ). I love this book (The illustrations are gorgeous) but for the rest of my shelf I would sacrifice it..

[@malisha.rahman]

A good classic I recommend is To Kill A Mockingbird. It is a beautiful and heart breaking tale. The story focuses on family, friends, society vs man, and the development of the characters through the story.

[@paigeadair8375]

I get what you mean by Scarlett, in the story I thought her's wolf's love story went way to fast

[@pesylouiseedson177]

I sooo agree with A Wrinkle In Time, it just gets worst as you read the other books!

[@rebekahpolanco3017]

That wet clothes rant though! 😆 Also "your only chance of survival is to... Burn a book? *Grimace* I don't wanna do that!" I'm still laughing.

[@Name-fe5uq]

You should get stars above in the lunar chronocals if you don’t have it

[@julesb2415]

The classic I would throw would be The Scarlet Letter! It was dry af, left nothing to the imagination, and had characters that were only developed in certain areas! It is not worth the praise everyone gives it! Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

[@sammyluvi7106]

Speaking of classics... Freshman year we were supposed to read: The Odessy, Romeo and Juliet, catcher and the rye, to kill a Mockingbird, and the great Gatsby. (O_O) but it was weird we only read the oddesy. I didn't realize how many we skipped until senior year where we were doing a project using these books from previous years (freshman - junior) and I hadn't read any of those cuz my teacher didn't mention them ONCE 😅😅😅 he was a good teacher tho.

I completely understand being confused by A Wrinkle in Time it has a lot of things to follow.

[@jennacampbell7759]

A Wrinkle in Time frustrated me too. I find it a little hyped, but it was alright.

[@rhiadejong2363]

From my own bookshelf I would give away Six of Crows, I liked the world and how cinematic it felt, but overall the characters didn't really standout though they tried. It felt like I was just waiting for another backstory to be revealed, when I thought it was going to be a fun heist, found family dynamic. (got drawn in by fan art, that turned out to be not fan art!) The book I despise most is The Doldrums, I picked it up because the cover showed three kids on an iceberg surrounded by old fashioned luggage. I was in the mood for an adventure, there was no adventure. I was betrayed. Those kids never got stranded on an iceberg they just had a shopping trip. Why was there no adventure? the book promised adventure!

[@minskacatral7904]

I would sacrifice Tek Vengence. I literally threw this book across a room for killing a character.

[@tzim8692]

I agree with Turtles All The Way Down. I had to force myself to finish it just so I could see how it ended and what the hype was all about, but it didn’t pull me in like other John Green novels.

[@carapatel2214]

we're not judging you if you don't read all that many classics, I've always hated "reader shame". It's always interesting when american booktubers talk about classics because in England classics tend to be a lot older. Like a Wrinkle in time was published in the 1960s, and I think the last classic I read was Lorna Doone which was published in the 1860s. also i would totally burn fifty shades of gray

[@sophiemontecalvo7503]

Classics Iv read and liked= secret garden & A little princess both by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I love the movies too.

Random question: what was the first signed book you ever got and when? ~Raven

[@jessethereader]

the fault in our stars when it was released! it was pre-signed. the first book event that i went to where an author signed the book was for city of heavenly fire by Cassandra Clare.

[@ravendangernavy3575]

I've never gotten to go to a book event, not many authors do book signings over where I live there's been some but not by authors I have an interest in meeting or read books from. ~Raven

[@themorenajay]

To answer the question - I'd most definitely and without much thinking sacrifice my Twilight books. And the extra Twilight reads I've got when I was into that. .... I was too young and stupid....

[@camposmurilloalejandra3838]

These booktag's questions are so intense. I love the video, as always :)

[@its_a_new_day_890]

Which book would be your umbrella? NO NO NO!! NO SEQUEL NO BOOK . THE END! don’t use your books as umbrellas please! NO!

[@disneyjunkie19]

So excited to see you do this tag, Jesse. I know it was super hard, but you made it through! (Anyone less miss tag videos? They need to make a comeback with challenges.) Straight up, I’d sacrifice Harry Potter. Good series, but there are loads of copies at every library if I need a revisit, and I can keep all my other faves!

[@AKookieForYou]

I'm the same way!!! I've never 100% hated a book either; I can always manage to find something good in the sea of dislike for a book. I also wasn't a big fan of Turtles All The Way Down (thank God I've found someone who can see the flaws too!). The mystery felt like a side story, when in the synopsis it seemed like it was going to be so much bigger. And I hated Daisy as a character. But I really appreciated and respected all the bits about Aza's anxiety as someone who suffers from anxiety too. If I had to sacrifice a fav to save everything I think I'd choose... Secret Circle: The Initiation and The Captive Part 1 (combined ver. of book 1 and half of book 2). I love that whole trilogy, but book 1 is a different version from book 2, so I'd just replace it with the newer edition. P.S. Great video Jessie, keep up the good work! ^^

[@elishamale4130]

I would definitely chuck Great Expectations by Charles Dickens at my English teacher.

[@RachelRamirezCaroline]

In truth, I have no problem answering these questions because even if I can find something to like about a book I know I’ll never truly like it or read it again. My most hated book of all time has to be “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens. There are other books by him so we’ll be fine with one less. The favorite book I’d burn is “A Day No Pigs Would Die” because the audiobook with Lincoln Hoppe is perfection and I could listen to his voice for any book.

[@TayRayReads]

This is the first book tag I have ever watched. For that reason, I have wanted to do this tag for my own channel.

[@jessethereader]

you should do it!

[@Behorn14]

That is an interesting question you pose, at least for me as i don't usually keep the physical books too much after reading them. If I had to give up a favorite book that i have to save the rest it would probably be Roald Dahl books or at least Charlie and the Chocolate factory as i have them since i remember really enjoying the books that i read of his from school and wanted to revisit some and check out some of the ones that i didn't know about back in the day. Another option would be the Redwall books series that i have both in audio book and physical (haven't finished the physical ones though). As much as I love the parts of the series that i have experienced there's enough other fantasy books to keep me occupied that i wouldn't mind giving them up to save the rest, especially if they were going to something like a library, used book store, etc so that someone else could find and read them.

[@bakudynamight]

1. Cinder ( i couldn’t get through the first 3 chapters) 2. Prodigy (kind of rushed and disinteresting at the beginning) 3. a wrinkle in time (i really enjoyed it, but yes it was confusing) 4. Life as we knew it (i had to read it in 8th grade, but oh my god. it’s was so boring and repetitive and i wanted to cry while reading it because it was so hard to finish.)

[@lpequestrian46]

Love it!!! I'd sacrifice the power of poppy pendle, because its an old book i started in 3rd grade and i never see myself finishing it.... but it still hurts me to sacrifice a book😭😭

I would sacrifice Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.

[@KatieMaddalena]

1. The original Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. I liked the concept. I just wish we could've followed literally anyone else that wasn't Alina. 2. I'd use the DaVinci Code by Dan Brown. 3. Dracula. It was boring and slow paced and there were single paragraphs that filled up multiple pages. If I had to read that again I might actually be tempted to chuck it at someone. 4. A Court of Mist and Fury. Boom. World saved.
