every book i want to read in march

[deborahlee]

I can't read hardbacks with the dust jacket on, so I always know if there's a hidden design or not😂

[Freakgirl]

So you never take the dust jacket off when reading a hardcover? That's the first thing I do, before even starting. 😂

my march tbr:
- The Firebrand, by Marion Zimmer Bradley
- Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, by Gabrielle Zevin

(i know it’s not a lot, but i’m a uni student, so i usually can only read 2/3 books during uni months!)

[Clara-ydqo]

If I’m sad, I usually take the dust jacket off of my hardback King of Scars and Rule of Wolves books by Leigh Bardugo and stare at their gorgeous designs. Then I’m not sad anymore!

[lucy.intheforest]

A Psalm for the Wild-built is my all time favorite book, and everyone I have talked to who has read it loves it too. It's such a cozy, comforting, beautifully written book. Would recommend to anyone!

[Alushforluxe]

I cannot agree with this intro more! I guess my February TBR is now my March TBR ☺️

[Paeoniaes]

I work in a library and also one of the few staff that processes books. And the first thing I do when I’m working on a hardback book before releasing it, is to check behind the cover and the spine for any special designs 😂

Also thanks for another video!! ❤

[Laura-xnlp]

Your pronunciation of "le creuset" is sending cold shivers down my spine

[paradox]

I just finished reading A Little Life and your videos are the only thing that can confort me

[maddiesbookishthings]

Piglet is FANTASTIC! It's infuriating, a bit thrillery, and the ending feels muted yet triumphant!

[caradunn-fox]

jack PLEASE make a video about hidden hardback covers

[ChaekOnMonica]

I own a small English bookstore here in Korea! 😁 📚 It’s called Chaek Out Books (chaek means book in Korean)

I’m curious what you’ll get up to when you’re here! Paju is the main publisher hub and there are so many bookish places there. But I live in Daejeon and we also have a lot of independent bookstores! ❤

[sofiaborges]

Am I the only one who reads hardbacks without the dust jacket… and then puts it back on when you finish and put it back in the shelf? I hate to keep on bending the dust jacket since the paper seems quite thin

[charlottemalone]

I discovered your channels last fall, Novemberish. I’ve read a number of your recs since then and you simply do not miss. I have loved everything you’ve suggested that I’ve read so far. My TBR has quadrupled and I’m reading more than I have in a long, long time. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and your insights and your recommendations!!

[nicolefegan]

I don't know if you own this, but The Starless Sea's hardcover design is so pretty I even got rid of the dust jacket years ago lol

[AhyasCottage]

ohhhh I absolutely ADORE Dallergut Dream Department Store - it was one of my all-time favourites of 2023 so I hope you enjoy it too🥺 seeing all these Korean translated books makes my little Korean heart soar🤎

[meikusje]

I feel so validated now for never knowing there are sometimes cool designs under the dust jacket! I always figured it's just the title and author, I used to never even check.

[sabrinasanchez]

0:55 my father and i have a game where we have to guess how is the inside cover designed (colour, title, draws...) before taking off the dust jacket. it's pretty funny for me
