WORST TO BEST: all the books I read in 2024 📚

[@unicornloverallroundupsidedown]

My rating system! 🥰 5 - still think about it, highly recommend, a must-read for me 4 - a great read and would highly recommend, however it was just missing that 5 star feeling you get when reading a new favourite 3 - solid read, nothing crazy, would still recommend 2 - not for me. I can see why someone else would like it…I just didn’t. 1 - I can’t even see why someone else would like this 😭 Loving the book content, Jess! 🫶

[@larabarth7856]

You captured my system into words and I‘m so thankful!!

[@jazminee3601]

i agree with 1 star. Im like, did we read the same book ?

[@AbbyX365]

I love this!

[@rebecaa7482]

YYEEEEESSSSSSS! I love all of your content, but I get so excited for your book content! I’m so excited for this! 😁👏🏻

[@Janiiii]

I loveeee the booktube content

[@Juviosa_]

Jess hearing you out, I believe you would love Divine Rivals. It has a lot of letter writing in it, which I know is your love language xD. Also its slow burn and no intensely inappropriate intimate scenes. It is so wholesome!! PS. they also type on typewriters so that fits your older than 90s wish, haha)

[@carinachilcott1136]

I second this !!🥰

[@sophief1]

i feel like based off of the books you love, you would love divine rivals. it is a romantasy so it will help you dive into fantasy, without being too much! it’s great to dip your toes in. one of my fave reads of 2024! 🤍

[@ashers_25]

Jess, I've been a fan for several years, I hope you know, you bring comfort through kindness ❤

[@princesaa__]

This is beautiful ❤

[@kristenk2503]

The Bodyguard being your favorite book of the year makes me so happy bc it was also mine!! LOVED that book so much

[@ericamiller7948]

If you enjoyed The Selection series and are wanting more fantasy/fairy tale inspired books, I HIGHLY recommend the Lunar Chronicles. I love love LOVE those books, and unlike so many series, each book just gets BETTER 💕

[@elissatingey3646]

Fourth wing is AMAZING!! But they do get quite spicy. I’d start with Throne of Glass. Such an amazing fantasy and they started out being YA so they start clean and the spice level is only like a 2-3 and it’s towards the end of the series.

[@sprucerowfarm]

Jess!!! Francine rivers is the queen of the 90s best sellers. The mark of the lion series or redeeming love would be my favourite, no one writes like her, highly recommend!!

[@blythe9]

I love her books! The Lady's Mine and The Masterpiece are also great books by her!

[@ladyoforient09]

@@blythe9yes! Those two are my favorite of hers

[@Emma0403]

I read Redeeming Love in three days!!!! It was incredible 😭

[@sprucerowfarm]

@@blythe9 I’ve never read the lady’s mine !! I’ll have to put it on my tbr:)

[@Steph-ey3hh]

I absolutely love redeeming love! I’ll have to check out her other books

[@brennalee638]

Finally someone who understands DNFing Ice Breaker. I am so glad you found others you enjoyed. Here’s to another great reading year!

[@Em_284]

I actually bought the book, read the first couple pages, and realized it was NOT for me… reading reviews after made me feel good about not picking it up again!!

[@SmartPuff_]

i loved Icebreaker at first, but then I read Unsteady by Peyton Corrine and that was soooo much better

[@oliviaweg5348]

You should read the Six of Crows series! It's so good and I think you would love it because you think you know where the story is going, but then it goes somewhere else completely.

[@SmartPuff_]

OMG YESSSSSS

[@Jaywinneralways]

Six of crows is sooo good! It’s what got me back into reading again

[@jenaelovesjb]

Jess, I want you to know that I have NEVER ever been a reader, but as a fellow fangirl, when you shared about The Bodyguard last year, it made me finally give it a try. I proceeded to read 6 more books last year (5 of which were Katherine Center... I think you'll really love Things to Save in a Fire, What You Wish For, and Happiness for Beginners!). This is seriously SO out of character for me, but it's been really sweet. Thank you for sharing your love for reading... you truly ~influenced~ me in a big way! 💛💛💛

[@Courtss]

The Dance of Thieves duology is one of my favorite fantasy series ever!! It’s only only two books so it’s not like you’re jumping into a super long series just starting out into fantasy. It’s SO good. It’s a no spice fantasy and the romance is SO good. I’m still obsessed with it and think about it all the time. I miss the characters & the world so much & wish I could reread it back for the first time. The world is so cool & I just loved it.

[@akemi187]

Idk why but it made me laugh that you categorically don't use 1 or 2 stars, but then go into decimals between 3 and 4 😂😂

[@nataliejk27]

Yeahh just make 3 into 2, and 3.5 into 3 😆

[@kendallpalmer730]

i highly recommend One Dark Window duology. it’s a pretty easy read and not as intimidating like some fantasy books can be. i loved it so much!

[@TheDomyXD]

Yesss I was going to recommend the same! Especially that a lot of the popular fantasy books such as ACOTAR or fourth wing, although they’re so good, they are spicy and I know Jess prefers closed door books. One Dark Window isn’t spicy but has all the amazing fantasy elements 😍

[@Sini_9357]

OMG book content is what I didn't know I needed from Jess until now

[@SBPhotographyDesign]

The Selection is my favorite book, definitely would recommend the other 2 books in the series! I just finished the Once Upon a Broken Heart series and that was great too!

[@michalascozylife]

Love your book videos 💕 hope you and the kids are doing well!

[@ashleycole2505]

The selection was sooo good! Another fantasy I read after that was the caraval series and that got me more into fantasy

[@HowlinHillsLaKyra]

Still feel guilty that I'm not reading my Bible instead-- struggling to even do that most days!

[@makda4371]

@@HowlinHillsLaKyra Hey girl you’re not alone!! God’s got you ❤️ Also I highly recommend the Bible in a Year podcast from Fr Mike Schmitz! :)

[@rosevela2316]

This is something I’m also struggling with, so you are not alone! ❤️ I like “The Heart Dive podcast” where they also go through the whole Bible in a year! I‘ve been taking it at my own pace though, quite slowly. Remember, He meets you and loves you where you’re at, and there‘s so much grace, love, and patience ❤️ Wish you all the best!

[@Janiiii]

I feel the same 😢

[@rosevela2316]

Also reading for leisure and studying the Bible are two quite different things that require different kinds of cognitive effort and energy. Don’t beat yourself up for taking some time to read for fun! Shame is most usually not a great motivator. For me, letting go of the guilt is often what gives me the motivation to pick up the Bible again.

[@claudia_christianmommy]

Same but God has been compelling me to read Acts because I fear that book lol too much going on that is crazy. However, I pray before I begin to read it, (and I don’t commit to how much I’m going to read in that moment, I sometimes read a few verses or other days I’m hooked for a few chapters- no commitment but just surrender to trying) and ask God to calm my fears and to help me understand it to grow closer to Him. That book now is currently like watching an action movie. 🍿 anyways all this to say all glory goes to God with my struggle to read it and get blessed by reading the Bible. Hope that encourages you.

[@ppeeppaa23]

Hey girly! If you’re not really into spicy books, fourth wing might not be it for you. Its a really Good series, but the spice is definetly there. If you wanna read a Good fantasy book, i’d recommend the throne of glas series! I’ve fallen in love with it so bad. Theres not alot of spice, besides a little bit here and there. Doesn’t star before book three and out- but you can skip it without missing out on the storyline!

[@DuhhhhItsDizzyBby]

The selection series is my FAVORITE!!!! Definitely continue the series and read the novellas!!

[@akarathy]

What a timing! I just finished reading an audiobook, and was clueless about what to pick next 😁

[@annekeherzog8003]

Something that is similar to the selection series is the Red Queen Series! It has somewhat of the same dynamic? The first book I literally finished in one day, the second book was a bit more difficult to get through but was still pretty decent, third book was super good, and currently finishing up the fourth book and I definitely see myself re-reading this series in the future!

[@kaylajanzen3442]

Absolutely Francine Rivers for 90’s and older vibe books. Incredible. Mark of the lion and redeeming love!!!

[@madisoneven]

Highly recommend Divine Rivals as a good place to start for fantasy!!!! Love that book!! Love that you are sharing your book reads with us!!♥

[@kristencarter376]

Yes!!! My FAVORITE book probably ever.

[@caitlyngriffiths1090]

I think you might like Stephanie Garber’s YA fantasy books! The Caraval series and then the Once Upon a Broken Heart series (you should read it in that order). They’re fantasy romance with a little bit of mystery and the FMCs are all gorgeously unique.

[@stayupnaddie]

i think you’ll really like the lunar chronicle series by marissa meyer. it’s a fantasy sci-fi fairytale re-telling which follows different characters per book but still has a interweaving storyline. it has a really good romance sup-plot as well. i think it’s a good series to try when you’re still testing the waters with fantasy series. and of course the hunger games trilogy for dystopian if you haven’t read them yet 😊❤

[@lucyhale123]

If you are looking for fantasy/dystopian I would recommend Powerless by Lauren Robert’s, Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross, Caraval by Stephanie Garber or Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson! They are great easy to get into fantasy worlds with little to no spicy. I believe they are all young adult and SOO GOOD! Great for someone just starting out. Fourth wing is my FAVORITE series but it’s very spicy and it’s a high fantasy so the world it quiet dense.

[@imnotobsessedwiththat4162]

I haven't felt motivated to read in a while but this video actually made me want to pick up a book and get as excited about them as you, ty for making this

[@kaleighstickel7898]

Young adult fantasy/ dystopian is usually what I lean towards cause they are more clean lol I def recommended once upon a broken heart series, powerless series, divine rivals series (my fav!!)

[@888liana]

Fourth wing is a great fantasy read, especially since books are still coming out (the 3rd one came out literally 3 days ago), but if you’re wanting to delve into fantasy A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) is a must read! It’s why I fell back in love with reading and I’m currently relistening to it for like the 3rd time! Can’t recommend it highly enough

[@leo_b5743]

I've read Acotar too and really liked it while reading it but now looing back its very much NOT closed door and I think Jess (and probably many of her fans) prefers closed door, so just a little warning 😊

[@forgetmenot433]

For a dystopian series, I'd recommend the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, and for something that's still kind of dystopian but a bit more sci-fi, I'd say the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Myers (fairytale retellings!). A standalone romance I really liked recently was The Letter Tree by Rachel Fordham which is set in the 1920s and is completely closed door :))

[@ricamhaeruedas9612]

Icebreaker was one of my best reads for year 2023 😂 loved this content of yours!!! Your book recommendations are all added on my TBR list!!! More of this pleaseeee ❤

[@sarahrileyb002]

please read powerless if you want to dive into fantasy!! it’s a fun starter, i love the world and the romance is just my favorite!! very little spice in it (which from your ratings makes it sound like you maybe aren’t crazy about) it’s YA and it made me fall back in love with reading and fantasy!!

[@ukezafinje]

How is no one talking about this book The Censored Guide to Wealth on Bovolorus is something else

[@Roseef]

your videos have been my biggest comfort for years. so excited for this vid!! hope you and your family is doing well Jess. ♡♡

[@Oakiedokies_reads]

Jess! If you want to get into more fantasy or dystopian, my 2 recommendations would be the Shatter Me series or the Caraval trilogy 🥰💙

[@Craft_withkat]

I would highly recommend the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer for another dystopian fantasy romance series! I read it around the same time that I read The Selection series and I love them both so much. The Lunar Chronicles has four books in the series, and additional books if you want to learn more about the side characters. The first book is called Cinder and follows the life of an orphan girl who lives with her step mother and step sisters… and is a cyborg! She is a dystopian version of the fairy tale Cinderella, and the first book introduces you to her and her story. Each book in the series highlights a different fairy tale princess translated into dystopian fiction, and their stores come together in a remarkable way. I couldn’t put them down! I could not recommend the Lunar Chronicles enough.

[@miriamsanjuan4676]

I missed your book videos so much! I was always checking if you have a new book vlogs because I've been checking on the books you've read and loved it! You got me to read Lisa Jewel and Abby Jimenez and my current read now is Crazy Love. Soo soo excited for your contents!

[@morgandrake1105]

The Throne of Glass series is a great mix of fantasy, action, and complex world-building. It has romance but isn’t too spicy- definitely more plot than romance which is my personal fav! This series was my intro to fantasy genre, and it does a good job of easing you into that world without overloading you. I also LOVE The Selection, it’s been one of my favorite series for years!💛

[@alyssamorgan1109]

Read Tress of the Emerald Sea!! It’s fantasy and such a fun magic system. So wholesome!

[@biancaprocter5099]

two really great more fantasy-style series are the inheritance games & an ember in the ashes. both easy reads but with lots of twists. didn’t want to put them down, and the whole of both series were just as good

[@noreentherese5641]

This content is so refreshing, Jess! Love your bookworm side

[@EmLJ2M]

If you want to give historical fiction another chance - my all time favorite is The Lady’s Mine by Francine Rivers! At this point I have read/listened to it at least 10 times (which is crazy), but it’s really immersive!

[@EmLJ2M]

other honorable mention is Bridge to Haven set in the 1950s!

[@leo_b5743]

Ohh, I Love that one too❤

[@meera99999]

I think you’d love some Christian fiction too!! 1 - Gabrielle Meyer’s Timeless series is INSANE 🎉 2 - Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers 3 - any of Roseanna White’s books 4 - Courtney Walsh’s My Phony Valentine was amaaaaazing! 5 - Annah Conwell’s Carter Brother series is so great too

[@TylerWharton]

I recommend the Dance of Thieves! It was so good! It's one of those books that you really picture it as a movie!

[@blueberryreadss]

Fantasy recommendations I always suggest for people who are looking to explore the genre more would be, Caraval series (one of my all time favs), Fourth Wing, the ACOTAR series, Shatter Me (Dystopian style), Powerless (Hunger Game vibes), The Cruel Prince, and Crowns of Nyaxia series. Hope this helps in any way!

[@sarameierxo]

We have such similar taste in books! For the ones we have both read, our ratings are similar. I’ve added the rest to my TBR 💗 Thank you for sharing this!

[@sarahldavis]

I also loved The Selection series!! I'd recommend Dance of Thieves (the duology). It's a YA fantasy/romance and really good. Great balance of romance and world-building. I finished them so quickly!!

[@ellaagasaro496]

Closed door books I love: Reckless Love by Kate Goodwin, The Game She Hates, The Class She Skips by Ella Marie, Cinder Luna by Marie Soleil, How To Plot A Payback and The Perfect Rom-Com by Melissa Ferguson, Skymar Series by Pepper Basham.

Yours Truly (second in the series) is my chef's kiss 👌 enjoy!!

[@isabellapezzato3784]

Funnily enough I just read both Part of your world and Yours Truly because I saw that Jess was reading them and I definitely liked the first one better! The characters in Yours Truly annoyed me so much with their miscommunication, but still very good writing and story! Starting Just for the summer today and very excited to hear it was her favorite in the series.

[@jasdenyer9080]

@isabellapezzato3784 i can see how it could have been annoying, because their whole tension throughout the story was based around their miscommunication 😅 but I thought the build up was so well done (it had me rooting for them) & I just loved Jacob as a character so much!

[@isabellapezzato3784]

@@jasdenyer9080 same! But at some points in the book I was just like COME ONNN just say how tou feel lol

[@MelodyNewell]

You should try The Remnant Chronicles. Clean dystopian fantasy with an amazing love story, and world building, and a fun twist in book 1. The trilogy leads into the Dance of Thieves duology which is also so good! My favorite series from last year. 😊

[@carolinamarques3825]

Good to have you back! I’ve been missing your book reviews! 🥰

[@isabellerichards8478]

If you want to give more dystopian fantasy, I highly recommend The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyers; it's classic fairy tales (more so the Grimm Brothers tellings, but they don't get that dark) meets sci-fi dystopia. There are two novellas and two graphic novels in addition to the four main books.

[@AlessaSuzanne]

I read the bodyguard because if you and loved it!! Highly recommend Fourth Wing and the A Court of Thorns and Roses series (they’re not closed door but I just skip those parts)

[@itsaleeyanix]

Love this idea, Jess! I'm a fellow reader but I come from Malaysia. So I have difficulties with kindle and audiobooks (apps or website). It's so frustrating but I'll never stop reading. It's a beautiful escape for me ❤

[@soimiaou]

I think you would like Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross :) The fantasy aspect isn't too heavy and the romance is beautiful.

[@reaganbudlong2203]

yess!! def read the shatter me series i feel like you would love it!

[@natalieboo2]

I got myself Just For The Summer last December and have not been able to finish the book. Just seeing so many people rating it 5 Stars really just makes me wanting to complete the book as soon as I can.... Especially after knowing that you also rate it 5 Stars!💞

You would really like the fantasy duology called Divine Rivals! It's a great one, particularly for people just dipping their toes into the genre, and its romance element is great. :)

[@MsCharicefan]

I love the Selection - it's such a good series. When it comes to dystopian novels and series, I would recommend Crescent City, Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Blood and Ash, Shatter Me. They are fantasy and/or dystopian series and include romance. They are really good.

[@red_Bellapepper]

Since you liked the selection, i feel like the lunar chronicles would also be a good read for you. It also takes the fairytale to dystopian/sci-fi spin, and i've been finding it quite interesting myself (i haven't finished the series yet). Just a heads up, there are 5 books in the series: cinder, scarlet, cress, winter and levana, although this last one, i think, might be kind of a spin-off about the saga's main villain. Nevertheless, it could be of use to cross two goals off your list :)

[@MargaretTroyer-fr1ci]

Some good starter fantasy books are Powerless by Lauren Robert's and Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross. I think you'd really like those! I love your videos by the way! I've been watching your videos on your main channel for about 7 years now, and as a fellow book lover this new channel has been so fun!

[@hannahforsdike1264]

Throne of Glass is a great starting place for fantasy. I haven’t finished the series, but the all the romance in the first 5 books is closed door/ fade to black. I believe there is some spice in the later books, but apparently it’s easy to skip and doesn’t impact the story if you prefer not to read it.

[@honeyhill6414]

I definitely think you’d like ‘Red Queen’ by Victoria Aveyard, it’s a dystopian fantasy series ! And if you wanted to dive into more fantasy but have some romance but not too spicy, ‘Throne of Glass’ by Sarah J Maas is so good! Even if it’s a longer series it’s so good! (And they’re doing a Graphic Audio version of it this year!)

[@mariav.b.xavier498]

Love the book content, Jess!! I've been waiting for this ❤❤❤

[@samwasson19]

I was so excited to watch this!! I've taken a lot of book recommendations from you this year and after I had my baby in February, I just devoured audio books lol. I read all of Katherine Center's books this year, and loved them all so much! Also loved Abby Jimenez! I just read a dystopian that you might love called The Grace Year, it's not a series though. It surprised me a lot with many twists, it was really good! Also I read both of those books by Ashley Poston, and another called Geekarella, but that one did not have a magical aspect, just so you know not all of her books do! Thank you for sharing, Jess 🥰

[@mrstayjean]

[@alexwithabook]

For fantasy I recommend Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross! Her writing is incredible! Or The Kiss of Deception by Mary E Pearson would be another great next step after The Selection!

[@denii7094]

Jess if you liked the Selection series, you should look into it because there are many more books in it! (if i remember correctly the main couple changes but it's the same people and world and characters)

[@brynnvogel8040]

So here for your book content! Definitely recommend A Court of Thorns and Roses for a fantasy read. I also highly recommend Daisy Jones and the Six (specifically the audiobook).

[@lydialudwig8295]

I also read just for the summer last year. I’ve never cried while reading a book before this one. So so good. I love all of Kiera Cass’s books so much. A Thousand Heartbeats is so interesting. Definitely recommend. For a challenge I recommend Brandon Sanderson. Tress of the Emerald Sea. Fantasy/SciFi/adventure.

[@lillywhite1703]

You should try the Kiss of Deception series! It’s more YA no spice, but really interesting perspectives and a really easy fantasy world to pick up if you’re new to the genre!

I LOVED the Selection series! Game changer - read it while listening to The Princess and the Matchmaker soundtrack by Kim Dongki. So good! These books gave me the nostalgic rom-com feels you’re after: - Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter - When in Rome by Sarah Adams - The Match by Sarah Adams All were either 4.5 or 5 stars for me 🌟🫶🏼

[@alessandra-sg18]

I had been waiting for this video!! Will for sure give a try to your recommendations. For myself, 2024 was the year of fantasy/romance/magic books, I started with Fourth Wing but the series is not done yet, it does have some spice btw. I LOVED the ACOTAR series, it genuinely changed my live (it has some spice, specially the last book), now I'm reading the Throne of Glass series and OMG this might be the best series I've ever read. I'm in the 4th book and no spice yet but the story is exquisite. The Caraval series is also good, it has some mistery and so far no spice. Can't wait for your next book recs!! 💛
