my first book haul 

I've followed Jodi for a while, but I usually see her playing Valo which isn't really my thing.. But these books hauls and deeper conversations have me in a chokehold. Throne of Glass is my all-time-favorite-series EVER, but I am currently reading Fourth Wing. Added Mating in Captivity to my TBR list!

about a third of the way through the vid and I love how awesome it is to hear someone talk about something that they truly love. Great vid Jodes

I truly think Quarterjade is the content creator I relate the most too games books humor skincare fashion! Thankful there’s a content creator who I can relate to on almost all levels :))) much love Jodi

I LOVE talking about books, more book videos please Jodi!

Once you start getting the pretty books there’s no going back. Also, I’m loving this type of content after seeing glimpses of Jodi talking about books here and there.

So happy shes doing book hauls!

I highly recommend the Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo. It’s a spin-off series of her Shadow and Bone trilogy, but it’s not necessary to read them to understand the duology. It’s a fantasy series that follows a group of young adults that are in a gang and going on a huge heist, and they all have different motives. The setting she creates, I think, is one of the best fantasy worlds ever. The magic system is incredibly unique and woven into the story seamlessly. Each of the main cast of characters has their own story going on throughout the books, so it never drags in pacing. Plus there’s a fair amount of romance. (No smut bc it’s classified as YA, but I think beautiful romance nonetheless.)

I could watch Jodi discuss books and have deeper conversations all day long. She is truly such a comfort in this crazy world we live in. So excited for more content like this!

So exciting!! I feell like we're always asking you about books on stream so it's nice to have a big update/review like this, hope you make more content like this in the future 🥰

I love when you make book content! It makes me motivated to read. You should definitely continue making book content

I dont even read but hearing you so excited talking about these books keeps me engaged, also you reading summaries is soothing and peeked my interest to read more books ❤

Is it time for the Sanderlanche? Every single person I know whos finished a Sanderson book has unable to stop until they've read them all. Mistborn trilogy is just so good

i honestly never enjoyed reading before but i began to LOOOVE your talks during stream about books and ended up starting to enjoy reading myself! i’m so excited to see more videos about books and your thoughts

For those unaware, Tress of the Emerald Sea is written in the voice of one of the author's characters. (He's technically everywhere but they have the most "screen time" in the Stormlight Archive series). As a result, the prose and syntax in Tress is like no other novel by the author. I would recommend anyone wanting to pick up Tress, to either read Stormlight first, or read up on the character themselves first. I won't say the character's name here for spoiler purposes but it's an easy search online if you're interested.

😂 "talks too fast" not me listening at 2x speed 😂😂

i was literally HOPING to hear or see any clips about you talking about Iron Flame and got a whole book haul instead, i am so happy LOLL. ive recently been getting into reading again so i am rlly excited to check out some of the books u talk about too hehe. this video is literally the best thing ever and exactly what i needed, we love jodi videos!!!!!

I like these videos with Jodi giving her book recs and hauls. I mean whatever she does i love watching and listening to what she has to say; but as a fellow reader this video resonates with me.

I love talking books! Red Rising is my favorite series ever! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts in all these great books!!

i´m not a big book person but i looove seeing reviews or just talking about them, i just love how passionate you are about them can't wait for more jodi book things

Brandon Sanderson is my favorite author EVER! Would love to see your reaction with the Mistborn trilogy and the Stormlight Archive series is also INSANE! Highly recommend. The Way of Kings is the best book I have ever read!

I LOVE HOW U MENTIONED THRONE OF GLASS. I absolutely love the first book didn't really get the chance to buy the rest but, the books are absolutely amazing , the covers are elegant , Ans the story telling is really top notch!

Who needs consistency when you get bangers like this 🔥

I already love jodi but I love her even more now that she's getting deep into reading and book collecting!

First I’d just like to say I’m so happy to see Jodi doing a book related video because I’ve always been curious to see her book recommendations! I’m also reading Tress and the Emerald Sea and I think it’s really good so far. I love the way Sanderson writes. I’ll definitely have to check out This is How You Lose the Time War, it sounds super interesting. I hope you keep making videos like these!! ❤

Please do a second video about your thoughts on Iron Flame!! 💕 I love hearing you talk about books :)

I’ve always gone into phases of book reading here and there but let me say, I have literally come back to this video after reading the Shepard king series mentioned in here for more recommendations. I CAN NOT get enough of those books. This is my first time reading fantasy and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I ever would. So thank you!

I started following you for your book talk, the valorant degen-ing was a bonus meme. I'd always selfishly wished you get into Science Fiction since that's my preferred genre so needless to say I'm excited you picked up Red Rising. The book is everything you're already into, looking forward to hearing you talk about it either here or on your podcast.

One dark window is what got me back into reading! I highly recommend it if you enjoy gothic styled fantasies with some romance.

I love the fact that we are back in our Hunger Games era (im currently rereading them). Most of these I have read, but I'll have to look some of them up to put on my tbr. Also what you said about how Iron Flame reminded you of the Divergent series: SAME! When I was reading the first one, I kept getting major Divergent vibes!

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes has reawakened something deep in me and I absolutely love analysing the series!!!!!!! I also read the entire ACOTAR series and it was what started my love for fantasy-romance books 😊

I just finished ACOTAR, started Throne of Glass and now adding a lot of these to my TBR list!! thank you jodi

Omg so excited to see you doing book content! I recently got back into reading after like a year long slump but yay watching book videos do help to get me into a reading mood:)

Book tip : Goodwill if your just browsing. Super inexpensive used books :) Really grow your collection!

I’ve been lurking in streams for like three years now cause I love games and I love the vibes so I can’t even explain how happy I am that you are sharing book content now too!!!! My two worlds have collided

i truly love jodi's content. she has variety of everything i want and i love hearing her thoughts on everything! i'm trying to get back into reading so i'm adding these to my list! i normally love watching jodi's valo content so this is so refreshing to watch her other content! i love this new side :)

OMG JODI, this is actually crazy because I literally bought the set of "A Court of Thorns and Roses" like a month ago because you inspired me to give those kinds of books a try, and I just looked up books at random and came to those and I've been binge reading them ever since I got them (like more than any other book I own) and now you're adding them to your new collection like that's so crazy.

Book girlies are fed well today 😤

I just read Shadow in the Ember in like 5 days after work and OH MY GOOOOD I'M ALREADY WAITING FOR THE SECOND BOOK TO ARRIVE AT MY DOOR IT WAS SO GOOD THANK YOU 🙌

you've inspired me to look into more fantasy reads and just exploring books in general. cant wait for more book-associated content!!

love the book content, i always love that more ppl are getting into books again!

i’d love to see you review these books in the future, or even review past books that you’ve read already. the books you’re into seem so interesting and i’d love to get more recommendations from you !!

im so happy ur doing things u enjoy!!!!!!! we love to see it. i especially love when u talk about books bc i have the same taste !! :""D I LOVEDDDD THIS and loved seeing u light up talking about each book!!!

I think a cool video idea would be looking into subscribers favourite books or book recommendations from viewers. One of my favourite books I’ve read recently is called Assassinorum: Kingmaker. It’s a warhammer book but it focuses on lesser known factions and if you are a fan of gore, dystopian worlds and societies, mecha suits that have minds of their own, specialist military forces, and epic hero moments. I’d say that’s a good book for you.

I don't really watch your content but know of you through OTV and what not. Had no idea you were into books! I am a huge book lover so this content was a nice surprise and enjoyed this video!

jodi you're so mother for this,, i LOVEEEE book contenttt

you probably will inevitably end up with a library of your own.. i told myself i didn’t have the room for it but now i have three shelves full 😭 i’m not complaining tho bc they make me so so happy!!

love love LOVE this video!!! i have always come to your streams and discord for book recommendations or anything book related because we have similar interests and i’ve always found great books to read from you! i love this type of content and hope to see more

Brandon Sanderson is the GOAT. all his books are fantastic, please read all of his work! You'll also like Patrick Rothfuss and Robin Hobb's stuff.

I love watching Jodi's stream but I dig this new video series sm. Please make more! I added so many of your books to my TBR! Can't wait for more content like this!

i usually never comment lol, but just as a recommendation, i would pick up both warbreaker and also elantris both by Brandon Sanderson. great magic system and world building with each book being self contained.

ive read about 80% of these books- GREAT picks jodi!! im honestly so excited for you to dive into these worlds and i hope you thoroughly enjoy them!!! So excited to find a youtuber/streamer reading all the same books i love. Added Flight and Mating in Captivity to my list :D

Really nice video, I don't really know most of the books and I don't usually watch this kind of videos in english (as it's not my first language/ the language I read books), but it was amazing, really want more of this videos, so relaxing and full of positive comments. I think this is my first ever comment on a video, first time I wanted to. Great job Jodi! 🇧🇷

Love this!!! Keep doing these! Also - I think you’ll LOVE Brandon Sanderson. Tress is great! Mistborn triology is phenomenal! And then you should pick up Warbreaker!

If you don’t care if the books are new. Check out and see if there is one in your location. ‘Friends of the Library’. They have 2 at least where I live book fairs twice a year. They have a lot of genres. Books, games, DVDs, CDs, cassettes, puzzles too. Some collectible cooks that are old editions but cost more. At least where I live books are $2-$4. Children books 50-75cents. DVD $4. Pricing might vary depending on where you live. So you can find new books not just sued. They will have a small selection of comics. Best time is the first day but usually $5 to get in but it goes to a raffle which you could end up getting your money back. Throughout the week they will have different deals. Such as one day price will be based on per bag. Towards the end it will end up per box (the banana boxes at grocery stores size). Quality of the books are pretty good. As I said you can find a lot of new books.

omg, here for all of your book content! since it's almost the end of the year, would love a video hearing about all your favorite reads of 2023! Also, I've read The Foxglove King! I devoured it when I picked it up, like read it in 3 days. I really enjoyed the magic system, the court politics, and the tropes. It does have a love triangle, which I found fun but I know some people just really hate them. I probably wouldn't put it in my top fantasies list, but boy was it a fun time and I need the next book. I'm about to reread Throne of Glass to get ready for CC3 and I'm hype!

OMGGGGGG JODI ON BOOKTUBE??!!! . I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 😭😭😭😭😭😩😩😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

honestly idk which one i love and relate to more - gamer jodi or lifestyle/book reader jodi 🥰

I LOVE THESE jodi in her booktuber era

tress of the emerald sea is absolutely amazing! I also had a hard time getting into mistborn but once you get over the initial hump I couldnt put it down, dont give up!

Wow, didn't expect to see book stuff here, but pleasantly surprised! Hope you continue with it!

I jumped back into reading last year - I think a lot of us fell back into the love of reading in the last few years. I read I think maybe 30 books last year and now I'm on track to read 100 books this year haha it's such an addiction! I read a lot of library books though so I don't have a million books all over the place ( although I wouldn't mind if I did) The Libby app is the best thing to ever be created! I would not have been able to read 100 books in a year without it. I can't wait to see what you think of your new reads!!

I am watching for you!! So any content you post I'll be interested in. I honestly love the direction this channel has been going in lately because chill and cozy lifestyle/ daily life content is the type of stuff that I consume the most!!

Dear god, I have been following Jodi on Twitch & RU-vid for 5 years. I don’t regret a single day of being part of the JADE BRIGADE!!!!!!🎉❤

ACOTAR got me back into reading and since then I've DEVOURED so many fantasy books, it's crazy. I just finished Manacled even though I haven't read any of the HP books, but it's one of THE BEST things I ever read, I cried for 20 minutes afterwards

completely agree big books and long series are my go to

No way! It's been a while that i stopped watching Twitch and games in general and got more into books, so it's so nice to see a familiar face making this kind of content now! I'm gonna start Tress as soon as I finish Mistborn 1st era, glad to hear you liked it so far!

I read most of my books on the Kindle. I have started to very slowly buy more hardcovers/paperbacks. My latest is the newest book from Jim Butcher, The Olympian Affair. I ended up getting a copy and having it signed while seeing him speak here in Kansas City.

As a fellow fantasy fanboy whose gf also enjoys reading them its nice to see people supporting reading. I kinda stopped reading a lot around college cause I was too busy with my piloting, law and psych books and never really got super back into it outside of audible. I got Iron Flame special edition for my baby sister (she's a junior in college now) this year for christmas along with a hoodie and hat. The black pages look nice.

I don't read books, but enjoyed hearing you speak abut them. Hope to see more videos talking about what you read.

Yes buy the throne of glass series you won’t regret it! the first couple books some people have a hard time getting into but 6⭐️ series

I would love video about how you decide to organize your book shelf! I always love to see how different people do it

Would love a book review series from you! I really enjoy the way you explain books and really has me interested in some of these series. If you haven't already you should try the shadow and bone series

I know you said it wasn't your favorite series, and I have not read it yet, but a small recommendation if you want to read more from the ACOTAR author. I am currently reading the first book in her Crescent City series! (Supposedly there are little nods to her other series in the books, but it's not required to read each series to read the other) and I have been loving it! A LOT of fantasy, some smut, and it's a murder mystery that has me on my toes wanting to read more! P.S I would definitely watch a book review on Iron Flame/Fourth Wing series so far. I agree it definitely seems like it got second book syndrome, but I am hoping the third picks it back up and breaks some of the minor repetitiveness. I think we like the same genre so I am definitely adding a lot of your books to my TBR!

I love This is How you Lose a Time War, one of my favorite books! I would really recommend also listening to the audio book, the narrator does such an amazing job with the voices!!

hey jodi!! i actually love that you're also reading books. i have a lot of books to recommend. in case you're interested. they're all romance though but all of them are good. -ugly love (colleen hoover) -it ends with us (colleen hoover) -it starts with us (colleen hoover) -maybe someday (colleen hoover) -maybe not (colleen hoover) -maybe now (colleen hoover) -losing hope (colleen hoover) -hopeless (colleen hoover) and yes i'm obsessed with her books.

Jodi I am so unbelievably happy that you are a book reader and gamer. Cause I love watching you play valo and other games and it makes me so haaappy that you read as well. Also cuz we have the same taste in books and I love that. My favourite content creator ever❤️

the canon even of ACOTAR slam dunking people back into their reading-craze of middle school/high school. finished the ACOTAR series in a couple weeks, ate up Fourth Wing, and now into the world of from blood and ash (book 3, which is sad to hear this one might be more mid than the last two). it took me forever to get through from blood and ash (almost DNF'd it) but the last two hundred or so pages reminded me of the Sarah J Maas two hundred pages. this video has me convinced I have to get the sister series after mulling it over quite a bit. Started the Serpent & Dove series but stopped after Book 1 (not sure if Book 2/3 are any better?)

Just finished the Red Rising series & I absolutely loved it! I'm taking a short break before reading the Iron gold sequel though. Another great trilogy I read this year was Mistborn, by Brandon Sanderson - I highly recommend it. When the new year starts I plan on reading Sanderson's other series, A Way of Kings.

so excited for more book content!!! (: i know other booktubers do book vlogs/tier lists/ etc so that’ll be exciting. really love acotar & sarah j maas’ series in general, excited for you to get the throne of glass books as well !!

Couple of good intro to fantasy book series if anyone is interested: Tiger's Curse Saga by Colleen Houck, Gracelaling Trio + 2 follow ups Winterkeep and Seasparrow by Kristin Cashore, Hush Hush Sage by Becca Fitzpatrick and then my all time favorite is The Chaos Knight Trilogy by Erin Hoffman ❤

Fantasy is really my jam, wheel of time, stormlight archive, mistborn. Those are my favorites

Maybe you’d enjoy the Fairyloot subscription box since you like pretty fantasy books !! ✨💕

You should defs show you adding the books to the shelf at the end! It will be so cute to see your bookshelf become full with all the books you get

Red Rising is sooooo good. it is nothing like the other books you bought (closer to the hunger games actually) but I hope you still like it!

i just picked up mating in captivity bc of your stream and i loveeeeee it so far

Book review / spoiler talk and takeaways from what was read, possibly a 2 video type of thing, Books you’re looking forward too, hauls. Maybe Jodi asmr? Library hunt, collection of what you already have and grails you want to acquire. Comparison videos if the movie got turned into a series or movie? List goes on! Look forward to all the content in the future!

yes to more book content!!!!!! i'd love to watch your reading vlogs, annotation guide, reviews, favorites list, and other fun activities like pick a blind book or something like that

jodi, i would literally watch you do a no talking book review LMAO and your expressions would be enough for me

Have you read "The Name of the Wind", it might be something for you. It is fantasy, the protagonist is a boy, it is rather slow and contain many details. It is not a page turner, but I just wanted to stay in that world, learn more about the characters and the magic of that world. It is years since I read it, but parts of the book have just stayed with, like only a few other books have (especially books I only read once, as of yet) I like sci-fi so I want to suggest a sci-fi book too. Artemis (by Andy Weir), this I very different from "The Name of the Wind", this is a super fast book, you can probably read it one sitting. It is action packed and fun. You mainly focus on the female protagonist that lives on the moon, and she is just having one of those days and is handeling it like a champ. I was rooting for her from page ~15 and she just kept impressing me with her wits and attitude. If "The Name of the Wind" is a three course dinner Artemis is a serving of snacks, but I have no regrets reading them both. I have added some of your suggestions to my Wishlist, feel free to do the same with my suggestions, but do not feel obligated they might not spark anything in you, like the did me.

I love seeing content creators talk about books and share their love of reading Literacy is important, keep reading y'all 😎

Oh HEEEEELLLLLL YEAAAAHHHH. This is the content I breath. MORE. PLEASE.

this channel, and the book content side of it is just so- comforting! I love this type of content. And can we just highlight the incredible book taste that Jodi has? All of those are 5 stars books.

finding out you were a book girlie from tiktok literally made my day, so seeing this video made me scream!

I LOVE RED RISING OMG I think youll like it!! Ive added one dark window to my TBR sounds right up my ally, love the book content ahhh

My favorite genre is Jodi talking about books I swear

I’m so excited to see all the book content from Jodi & Brooke I’m so excited for all of it🎉🎉🎉🎉

YESSSS, jodi booktube!

Yay for book content! I looooved This is How You Lose the Time War. It's such a unique book and the writing is really beautiful! I have One Dark Window, Priory of the Orange Tree and Tress of the Emerald Sea all on my to-read list! Hoping to get to them soon!

I’m so excited to see future book content from Jodi! This was nice to watch and to hear her comments on the books she’s read

As someone who has been wanting to just fall in love with reading again and loves fantasy, thank you Jodi. The way you talk about books is actually so calming
