Something I've noticed is that the books I most frequently recommend are usually 4 stars. Which I think is interesting! My hypothesis is that 4+ means it's a great book, but the 5th star is more personal and may be from things I connect with that aren't as universal? I don't know! But it's interesting!

So true. Most of my 5 star books are pretty disturbing and can have quite a lot of triggers. Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor, and Beloved by Toni Morrison are both 5 star reads for me, but they're not necessarily something I would recommend to a person I just met.

I love it when the description of the book goes beyond a mere summary. It seems like Jack doesnt have that much time, and I would rather encourage him to make longer video essay-ish content.

I'm studying a masters in literature and writing so I don't think I'm stupid lol, but I can see merit in most books I read. But I have been reading (trying to read) The Beautiful and Damned by Gatsy for the last 12 months and as soon as I get through it, it's getting 1 star. I don't care how much merit is has, it does not deserve any more (and even as I say that, I feel guilty).

That's a stupid thing for someone to say XD you can rate books for any reason you want, and none of them are depended by your "IQ," education, or literary analysis skills. You can rate books based on how much you enjoyed the story, by how well it was written, how well the characters were developed, how well it connected with you, or conversely how well it connected you to a different group of people. For how much it made you laugh, for how corny it was. If I'm looking for a corny read, I want to know if it was an ENJOYABLE corny. Don't anyone fall for that classist rhetoric, the way you review things does not determine nor is determined by your intelligence. ❤

She’s my queen, she is an icon, she’s the moment. Unfortunately she’s on an indefinite hiatus, but if you’re interested, just take a look at her stuff! Her editing is some of the best I’ve ever seen on the site period. She encourages self care, positive mindsets, and living life to the fullest to the best of your capabilities. Her videos are comfort videos for me and I rewatch them all the time! JesseTheReader is a channel I’ve watched for years. I’ve even met him in person at a book event lol! He’s an OG booktuber and I think his content still holds up today! He has a nice balance of chatting about both currently popular books as well as lesser known titles! He has a fun personality and a lot of original video ideas! Finally, plantbasedbride. I’m still new to her content, but it’s been so good! She gives cozy, long haul type videos and she’s been great from what I’ve watched! I hope this helps fill the need for good book creator content, lol!

They don't even know each other and he's crazily in love with her, even after she's doing all of that with some other dude? And then takes advantage of him? And apparently it's all because of "love"? :)) I mean, I love love stories and I love lyrical writing and melancholy prose, but they should at least be 1% believable. 😅 This was such a let-down for me... 😣

Maybe lack discrimination because 36 books so far; 12 get 5 stars. Did reading about the dark side of Goodreads influence this? Or Yellowface? Something Old Melvyn Bragg - Crossing the Lines: A revelation! Booker shortlisted, semi autobiographical tale of a Cumbrian pub landlord's son whose grammar school education takes him to Oxford. Donna Tartt - The Secret History. Dark, pitch-perfect prose as entitled students try to evade justice for a killing: again in an elite university. Elena Ferrante - Neapolitan quartet: all five star. The ultimate Bildungsroman series where love, friendship and betrayal meet Italian post-war social and political change. Neil Gaiman - American Gods Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman - Good Omens: SF/Fantasy books for thinking people that are still outrageously funny and super-readable. Something New Eleanor Catton - Birnam Wood: no punches are pulled in this long awaited second novel from Catton. The style is very different from the Luminaries but the insidious effect of mining New Zealand's mineral riches is front and centre again. Benjamin Myers - Cuddy: Structurally bold and showcasing a mixture of poetry and prose, Myers stays true to his Durham roots in this ode to St Cuthbert and the Northern spirit. Something Borrowed Olga Tokarczuk - Driving your Plow over the Bones of the Dead: A Booker International Prize shortlisted, dark thriller with an idealistic, animal-loving protagonist, who yearns for the utopia of the Czech Republic! Something Blue Hiro Arikawa - The Travelling Cat Chronicles: for cat lovers only; have the tissues nearby. Max Porter - Grief is the Thing with Feathers: How do you learn to live again when your soul mate or your mother die too young?

I read the new novel by the "it" writer Coco Mellors, and despite the fact that the reading went smoothly and the writing was good, something felt off. It seemed she was writing with the clear goal and intent of having her work turned into a movie or something similar. The main characters false complexity is extremely stereotypical and one-dimensional, giving off "I'm not like the other girls/women" vibes that border on cringe at times. I also felt a tinge of ridiculous ageism in the treatment of Chiti and the mom, and I was upset when a novel written by a woman and set in this day and age described the act of giving birth at 40 as geriatric.

My absolute favourite 5-star read from this year is Toward Eternity by Anton Hur. He's already an award-winning translator, and now his own debut novel is out and it's extraordinary. If you read the summary and think it borders too much on sci-fi for you, I encourage you to pick it up anyway-it balances on the line between literary and sci-fi so perfectly that it really extends beyond both genres. It only came out a few weeks ago, but it's not getting the attention it deserves imo. And thanks for the extra push to read White Nights and Boulder. Coming up soon on my list ✍

I always anticipate videos with your favourite books. I adore the way you describe books and the feelings they evoked in you. I genuinely think you have incredible taste, so finding the books you've rated so high is incredibly refreshing and exciting, because I know that I have the chance to read a masterfully written or thought-provoking book that I might not have found otherwise. Sooo excited for these books. When you compared the writing in Evenings and Weekends to Baldwin's and Morrison's I actually gasped. What a high praise. I will definitely read Boulder soon, because that's one I've been eyeing for a long time because of you. Funnily enough, my only 5-star read of this year is Alice Winn's In Memoriam that I discovered thanks to you. Forever grateful for that recommendation, that book broke me to pieces and mended me back together. This reading year was quite mediocre for me, but I did get some 4,5 stars.

I don't see Kairos as a beautifully-written love story either. It's an unsettling spot-on description of an abusive relationship.

I LOVE HAPPY ALL THE TIME. It's so wholesome and normal and funnily enough the seemingly "ordinary" exterior it exudes it what makes the book feel so unique to me.

SAME I finished it a while back and it was so beautiful. I loved each character, and I resonated with them so many times. The simple relationships, the conversations - it was beautiful.

If there is one good thing about being russian in 2024, it's the ability to read original Dostoyevsky's works

It's impressive to see such empathy and accountability. I've seen more of it from Russians in the last two years than Americans in the last two decades.

Wow, I learned so much from watching this video. Thank you! Recently, I stumbled upon an ebook that is supposedly canceled on all platforms, called Hidden Art of Manipulating Minds. I am still in disbelief about what I found there. I would have never thought that such marketing secrets are kept hidden from the public. trust me, guys, read it as soon as possible; the book is available on Borlest.

Evenings and weekends was hugely anticipated by me and I was very underwhelmed by it…. I just didn’t get what you got out of it- I just don’t think the characters were as realized as I was hoping for But! If you do like it, I think you would love the daytripper by James goodhand - a book I loved

I'm grateful for the knowledge you've shared in this video, but I recommend everyone to go deeper into the rabbit hole, don't just stay on the surface, check out the forbidden book about money "Hidden Art of Manipulating Minds" on Borlest and you will be amazed at the incredible information found there.

My guy, if you read one more book for the rest of your life, make it “Autobiography of Red” by Anne Carson. I have no basis for comparison for this book. I don’t think there’s anything in the world as gorgeous or heart wrenching or life affirming. Please please please get your hands on it!
