if i don't read these books in 2023 i have to UNHAUL them

[tinklesingh]

love watching jack take desperate measures to get through his reading list

[stephaniecrossman]

the fact that Jack has an incredibly fast reading speed and he still hasn’t read these makes me feel better about my neglected tbr 😭

[giulia]

I haven't read ACOTAR, but I watched Cari can read 2 hours long video explaining the plot. I can't wait to see what Jack thinks about it, 'cause I couldn't understand shit about it

[Luciferford]

I hope you read at least the first two in the acotar books. Not because they’re groundbreaking but because I know I’ll laugh my ass off hearing you explain what goes on in that series 😭

[oushan]

honestly all the fomo i had about not reading ACOTAR vanished when i watched plot summary videos by cari can read (she made FIVE (!) of them, what a legend)
they are so amazing and so funny and now i see no need in actually putting myself through reading the series🌚

if it helps, desperate characters & on the road were recommended by joe goldberg and you season 4 is coming out in feb & march. so it's literally perfect for you since you can get content out of it + clear your tbr at the same time! win-win :-)

The audiobook of Addie Larue is amazing, it’s narrated by Julia Whelan (the greatest narrator of all time) and I think that’s the reason I gave it a 5 star rating

[moonprincess]

The Invisible life of Addie Larue is one of my favorite books. I definitely recommend the audiobook! It's incredibly well done.

[madeliefmuhren]

the discomfort of evening is so intense and gut wrenching, i think you’ll love it (also as a dutch person i’d love to hear your opinion on this iconic piece from dutch literature ☺️)

[dreenyan]

100% recommend reading Addie Larue in Audiobook format! I just finished it, and the voice acting is phenomenal (it's narrated by my favorite narrator, Julia Whelan :D)

[malinpetersson]

A court of thorns and roses becomes even better if you also read the second book in my opinion, it would be fun to see you react to both! (And all the other books on your TBR of course!)

[PokhrajRoy.]

2:21 No one can beat Cindy from ‘WithCindy’ regarding ACOTAR Discourse. The book has haunted me in every bookshop and I have never even read it.

P.S. Waiting for Jack to discover Feyre and Rhysand.

[ayantikasen]

Anne of Green Gables was one of the first books I read this year and honestly it was a vibe. It is really beautiful writing with just manic pixie girl vibes.

[WhyisPerryBlue]

I used to love ACOTAR but the fandom kind a ruined it for me (also the new covers are awful) Withcindy book review for the books are amazing and hilarious I recommend watching them 😂

LOVING that you've made this video because I went through something similar a couple of weeks ago. I realized that within the books I own that I've yet to read, there was a smattering of them that have been sitting around for quite some time. Many of them that I'd been really excited to buy- but just haven't read for whatever reason ( as we all know buying books vs reading books is a v different hobby)!

Anyway what I did to get myself to read them, is I gathered up 6 books and threw them in a random generator. For reference, you can download them free on your phone or use free ones online. And I vowed that whatever it landed on I would read, and so I did. Then I rinsed and repeated the process for the next books. Now I'm 3 books in and can say that 2 out of those 3 have been incredible reads- so I'm glad I finally took the action to read some of what I have.

[anavidreader]

Please read the first 3 books of Anne of Green Gables series not just the first as they all go together and follow her from childhood to adulthood and really feels like 1 long book split into 3 as opposed to 3 separate books! I also second I Capture the Castle for cottage core! :)

[d.gunasena]

reading me is not the same as book buying me, that is something I have to make peace with :')

[annabanana]

I was SO late to ACOTAR but I’m now 3 books in and just bought the last two! I’m hooked. It’s so good! I really like the characters, the story is interesting. It has slow descriptive passages and fast paced fighting/battle scenes. So fun!

[gia]

Please please please read Addie Larue. It’s so beautiful, and it’s my favorite of all time. I think you’ll really appreciate the poetic writing and story ❤
