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!

You should do a video called “Every book I’ve rated 5 stars in my life described in one or two sentences” I think is a way for us to discover hidden gemes. And for you to talk about books you love that you haven’t talk about them in a long time
-
Keeping us fed with this crème de la fresh content, I see.
-
Engaging with books has significantly elevated my perspective on investing. True wealth isn't built through mere savings; financial freedom stems from strategic investments. I've learned that accumulating wealth hinges on making prudent investment decisions|
-
"how could you do this to me but also thank you" is the review I am looking for 😂
-
The way you can so beautifully and casually describe books is unparalleled !!!! Also I highly recommend you read Sunburn ☀️ the writing is incredible
-
My TBR did not need to get longer but here we are…
-
'The Hidden Truths Of Wealth by Oliver Mercer' is a must read for everyone
-
Not me watching a Instagram reel where someone said "When you're stupid every book is 4-5 stars" and then I got the YouTube notification. Hahahahahaha I can't this is so funny
-
As a french person, "la crême de la fraîche" actually makes sense lmao
-
* searching a new video to watch bc I’ve caught up on jack’s vlogs * * jack uploads *
-

-
The Blue Sisters opening paragraph gave me CHILLS I have to buy it now
-
adding some of these to my tbr! My five star reads so far are: - martyr! - kaveh akbar - In memoriam - alice winn - idlewild - james frankie thomas (queer chaos speaks to my soul) - the rachel incident - caroline o'donoghue - east of eden - john steinbeck - bellies - nicola dinan - words of radiance - brandon sanderson !!!! i've had a really incredible reading year so far it feels so good
-
You should do a tier ranking of all the books you have rated 5 stars
-
Love this lighting! So relaxing 😊
-
I listened to White Nights on the Sleepy Bookshelf (on Spotify) and this story made me go through all the emotions 💙
-
every book you talk about immediately gets put on my wishlist
-
I read The Details after you recommended it in a prior video and I loved it! I then recommended it to my mom, and she read it and enjoyed it too! Really made me think about characters and how to write in a detailed way - which is important to me as a writer myself. Your recommendations always hit.
-
loved your recs - your enthusiasm makes want to read them all.
