I recommend you read "we were liars" and "the girl with dragon tattoo" im sure you will like the intrigue in them ! love you jenn

@rstumbraite 7 лет назад

clothesencounters I recommend a book called "Games are for Real" written by Estonian writer Diana Leesalu but I'm not sure if you can get this book easily :/ But it is an amazing book. Very sensitive story about being bullied and so on.

i used to read books a LOT, i always mentioned how much i love reading. i collected fiction novels from grade school to high school and i could finish two-three books per week. yet after becoming a college student i just don't read books at all :/ i mean, i do read a lot of free stories online like the ones on wattpad but that's it. i miss reading books tho--legit books. i forced myself to buy and read few of them but i just kinda gave up halfway. they seemed interesting but i just couldn't bring myself to finish them and i feel so bad 😭

@summerbarbie07 6 лет назад

Yes some nice tips to keep reading as a habit is by rereading your favourite book! For me, I told myself i would read a book (or 2, 1 big novel and one small novel) a month so that i have a schedule. It seems a bit forced but I know that otherwise, i wouldn't do it. I've managed to go through the huge pile of books that I've been collecting (or hoarding if u must) in the past 6 months and i've never felt happier both by incorporating reading back into my life and by flying through my pile!

@DarkRuins 7 лет назад

1984 was such a depressing book. It was well written, but I just wasn't expecting the ending. I felt that it truly showed the flawed nature of human character, but it sent a powerful, bone chilling message; we must fight back and stay strong.... because cowardice is the greatest sin of all.

@anaroque7441 7 лет назад

DarkRuins what a great description ... that book had me shooketh when I read it

@victoriab.5145 6 лет назад

Darmarukomi Mmkmisdjducnusjnudnsdjmu

@kurlykpopfan8111 6 лет назад

+DarkRuins It was very depressing. But I think it also showed that we're all humans. The fact that Winston chose to give in just to continue living shows that he is human. It is in our nature to survive no matter the cost. I probably would have chosen differently, but hey. When in a dystopian world....

@maggiemae3825 6 лет назад

1984 has a secret happy ending when you read the appendix after the main story. It talks about New Speak and the other stuff in the past tense, implying that the government was eventually overthrown. Very similar to the end of the Handmaid’s Tale.

@fatalradius 5 лет назад

It's also teaching you not to ignore politics, because whether we like it or not, it is effecting us deep down in some way or form...Orwell created this book as a warning, and for all of us to be aware.

@Turkeypanini 7 лет назад

you are honestly such a breadth of fresh air!!! i feel like youtube and this generation in general has been too focused on the tangible. it's nice to know that there are still people that care on a much deeper level. this sounds hella pretentious lol but i hope my appreciation and respect for you can be conveyed. 💜💜

@DashiSmash 4 года назад

This is the first video I've seen of a youtuber giving their list of favourite books that has actually inspired me to seek out these titles. The way you describe the synopsis of each book is done with so much enthusiasm and you're more articulate than some other booktubers I've seen. It's not surprising you have millions of subscribers.

A favourite book I have read this year has been Wild Swans by Jung Chang. The narrator takes you through her three generations of her family history from her grandmother, mother to herself in the backdrop of a changing China. Not only was it eye opening to discover Chinese history but it was so heart breaking to hear about some of the things that actually happened. ALSO TY FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO, I added sooo many books to read after going through the comments and your list :))) Love you Jenn

How do you do that Jen? How do you manage to read while socializing, while hanging out with friends and your boyfriend, visiting your parents and flying all over the world as well as filming, editing and socializing with fans? I'm so fascinated that you even manage to read all the time. I'm only attending university and am doing almost the things that you do, but i can't manage to find time to read otherwise i would be lacking of sleep or time for anything else...

@sausana2501 6 лет назад

The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld!! He was my saving grace author in middle and high school, and creates such vivid scenes and realities for the characters he creates. Another awesome series by him is the Midnighters (I think, can't remember it exactly!) they're both sort of dystopian, si-fi, genres and absolutely amazing!

@TheSlurpy11 7 лет назад

I love The Catcher in the Rye! It's such a unique Bildungsroman/coming of age story. Definitely had an impact on me, although I know it's very hit or miss with a lot of people. I also loved We Were Liars. That book absolutely destroyed me - I've never been hit so hard by a price of writing. An incredible story about family and love and finding yourself. Thank you for this video Jenn! It was very refreshing :)

@KathyReyes612 7 лет назад

I'd have to agree with Catcher In The Rye. It's really a mix of character pieces strewn together to tell a story. At first read, people don't understand Holden's train of thought, but after reading it with a critical and analytical brain, it's an earnest narrative. There's so much powerful symbolism in this book that it garnered me to go to NYC when I was 18 and through this book I fell in love with that city.

@georgiabezzy3220 7 лет назад

TheSlurpy11 absolutely love the catcher In the rye, planning to re read this summer. I cried at the end despite it not being overly sad or emotional 😂

@MichiContreras 7 лет назад

I applaud you for being so open on the internet and letting us into your life and creating this huge virtual friendship/family. That being said, love you Jenn! You're gonna make me waste so much money now on books and fashion lol xx

@silvia8002 4 года назад

Murakami is one of my favorite writers, probably the One if I had to chose. I love Kafka on the shore! Oh and highly recommended, of course: 1984, The Handmaid's Tale, The perks of being a wallflower and The picture of Dorian Gray! Thanks for all the suggestions btw, great video!

@vortexofweird 7 лет назад

One of my favorite books is Nella Larsen's 'Passing" The book revolves around the experience of being half black/half white in 1920s New York when there was still segregation (and obviously deep racism). The story is about two women who are both biracial. One of them lives as a black woman and the other "passes" as white. The second woman even marries a white guy who has no idea she is half black. The book was extremely seminal to me as I am also biracial and could relate to the issues presented about how race is a societal invention that is meant to categorize and divide humans. It brought to light the notion of racial fluidity and the struggles of internal identity that mixed race people face. I feel like I should also warn that the book has a sad ending :( But definitely worth reading. It's also really short so you can read it in a day!

@imjennim 7 лет назад

1. Harry Potter series (it has been my childhood favorite) 2. The Great Gatsby - the writing is beautiful! I've read it 3 times just because I'm in love with the writing 3. Till We Have Faces - Cupid and Psyche's love story through her sister's (Orual) perspective. The writing is pretty and there's a lot to learn from someone who is considered an ugly and flawed human compared to her beautiful sister and the godly being Cupid 4. Howl's Moving Castle - so much fun with all the characters

Read the Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan! It's follows the journey of Asian-American women, and particularly of a struggling young Chinese girl. It's really an eye-opener and definitely worth a read! I hope you read it~ Love you Jenn :)

@imjennim 7 лет назад

I'm not even through the entire video and already want to start a new bookstore trip. I got hyped very very much for the books you recommend here, I really enjoy how you talk about these books 🌹

@carolinek3744 6 лет назад

Love your book picks! Usually all people recommend the same books but you chose truly good and important books!

@vickhead04 7 лет назад

You should definitely read "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro 😊 It is hands down one of my favourite books and it's the perfect balance between dystopian and heart warming. I think you'll love it ❤️

" perfect balance between dystopian and heart warming" You spelled heart breaking incorrectly... :(

@gabrielamunoz1892 7 лет назад

One of my favorites is "Farenheit 451" which is about a world in which reading and knowledge are prohibited and it follows a man who is awoken to how good knowledge is when he meets a young girl and his journey through rebelling against the laws.

You have to check out "The lies of locke lamora". For me at least, his style of writing is orgasmic. I just can't resist the storyline and characters :))))))

I have been trying to find a book tuber FOR WEEKS, and I see if I align with them by watching their “favorites” video. THANK YOU SO MUCH :) finally someone who has books in their list that aren’t from last year. “The best books ever” aren’t all 2015 releases 🙄 You seem to really know your books, I had literally read and loved every single one of these (besides Ready Player One which I hated.) It’s wonderful to finally find such an awesome channel 😀 Can’t wait for to dive into your videos.

@jovjovvv9680 7 лет назад

Absolute 2 fav books I always recommend to people are The Book Thief and All the Light We Cannot See. They're both in fact set in WW2, but not your standard war stories because they revolve around children! The book thief is told from the perspective of death, and all the light has an amazing storyline that is woven so well and it's so difficult to put down. These are the reasons why they're my absolute fav of aaalllll time I hope you get the chance to read them 😊
