You always give the best book recs! Love hearing you talk about each one. You always manage to inspire me to read more and I love hearing the way you effortlessly sum up each book for us!

Aww thank you, Weylie!! I wanna know what books your read last year! x

Jenn: "I have no reading goal this year". THE HONESTY is why I am still here years and years later. Love you Jenn.

I admire how you were able to read books, edit videos, become a mother, be a wife and update your social media every week♥️♥️♥️ you are my inspiration

my goal this past year was to read 12 books and i ended up reading 53 which was insane… but i also did cut out television so i guess it makes sense. crying in h mart was one of my top books in 2021, it really stuck with me and listening to michelle’s music is a much more powerful experience now knowing her story. some other books i loved this year were educated by tara westover, song of achilles by madeline miller, little fires everywhere by celeste ng, and pachinko by lee minjin… all SOOO good.

WOW! That's incredible! Ugh, I loved Song or Achilles, Little Fires Everywhere, and Pachinko too. Great taste! x

You might like Circe if you liked Song of Achilles!

I love that you seek knowledge through books when you're anxious!! All your book choices kind of reflected how you were feeling throughout the year. I read 14 books last year and was a pretty good year. My goal is 25 books this year!!

Yess, I think my self developments definitely revealed my state of mind.

I love how different each book was! You had such a diverse list and I can't wait to start a lot of these this year

I'm so happy the three books I've read and currently reading are up here! I always check your book recs videos because you give good and concise explanation.

I absolutely loved this video, you were so honest and gave enough information on each book to help decide whether or not to read any of the books mentioned. Please don’t stop posting videos about books you have read, I adore them.

YES BOOK REVIEW !! Finally. Ive been rewatching your previous reviews to find new books to read. This video is long awaited.

I read so many of these this year! Norwegian wood was my favorite book I read last year. I’m a boy in his teens, so it’s funny how you mentioned how your son would enjoy it later, just like me 🥲❤️

This came right in time. I honestly have never been into reading and I finally visited my local library and picked up Where the Crawdads Sing and loved it. So for the new year I want to read more and now I have the perfect list. Thanks Jenn.

Ahh that makes me so happy! I want to make a visit to my local library too.

Can always count on Jenn to come through with the book recs!! 🤩🤩 added a few to my list!

i’m in love with how diverse your selection is and always go back to your book finds and reviews. even though you’re not exclusively a booktuber, you’re hands-on one of the most favorited book/media related content creators!! (but honestly all lifestyle content is 10/10 from you.) i’ve picked up a lot of the books you recommend onto my tbr list~

Always love your book recs, Jenn! 💖

JENN. I just downloaded Storyworthy last night. I’m on chapter 3 now, and I can already tell that this is the book I’ve been needing and looking for over the last 5 years. I’m a writer, but I also struggle with feeling like the main character in my own life. Lots of my childhood has been blocked out, and I’m on a mission to uncover it! As soon as I started my Homework for Life page, memories just started pouring out. The part about the dad, dog, and underwear in the rain was the brick I was longing to be hit with. I’ll be reading for the rest of the weekend. Thanks so much for sharing and for such a convincing review!

hi jenn, thanks for being such an inspiration to me in 2021. Now that you have become a mother, i am so excited for you and what lies ahead of your journey!!

Loved this short and sweet book summary of all your 2021 reads! Such a well done video!!

Oh my goodness! I just started reading books this new year and I’m soooo excited to see this video!! Thanks love!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for the recommendations! I want to get back into reading so this helps me get motivated. Love that you take notes so you can remember the info in each.

Some great suggestions in here! Excited for this year! Let’s go!

Ahhhh, first video of the year! So excited to see what 2022 has in store for you Jenn. Obsessed w all of your content but especially the book vids. 💕

You had inspired me to pick up reading in 2020. I made a goal for 2021, and I’m happy to say that I sealed the year off reading 100 books. Looking forward to more reads this year ☺️

I always look forward to your book videos! You inspire me to read more. :) Love you, Jenn!

i love your book videos! now all these parenting books are on my 'to be read' list even though i'm nowhere near getting married, much less becoming a parent (for myself, i'd like marriage before baby) but excited to try these parenting/baby books because babies/humans are super cool and the fact we women can like make life is beyond awe-inspiring.

'I couldn't help but think about my own son reading this book in his teens because I think he would like it' - Lennon just popped out the womb ready to read Murakami 😅

i like how your booklist reflects your transition in life! Awesome video

Love it every time you talk about books on your channel, adding them all to my tbr haha! 😁💓

I love every video of yours, but book videos are definitely in my faves! 😍 love the lighting in this vid btw ♥️

Love book videos🥰🥰 btw congratulations on the beautiful family Jenn🥰

I made it a goal this year to get back into reading for fun and didn't know where to start. Thanks for sharing!

I always enjoy listening to you, i love how you express yourself and explain everything. Really good recomendations, thank you for sharing!

You’re the reason I got back into reading! Yay for books!

Love your book videos so much Jenn!

Ah yay!! Was really looking forward to hearing your 2022 resolutions like you do every year you inspire me so much! Love you book videos always! Adding these to my list!

Thanks for sharing your recs, I definitely want to read some of these now as my goal is to try reading more this year!

I’m so glad you posted this! My New Years resolution is to read more books and I started off with the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo based off your recommendation to start. I loved it! Adding these to my list. Thank you thank you!

I'm so happy this came back honestly im so into jumping into new books. Thanks Jenn, I appreciate it 🙏🏽 😊

you got me into reading! thank you so much for your recomendations. You are awesome!

Thank you for your book recommendations. You summarise each book so well. I now have to motivate myself to get back into reading. I was very lazy last year & had trouble finding motivation to read that I was only able to get halfway through a book (half read, half on audible). Hopefully this year, I am able to get through some of the book that I had bought last year.

Ahhh I always love your book review and rec videos!! The way you describe the books inspires me to read more. My goal last year was to read a book a month and ended up reading 13 books! Haven't read this many since middle school 😅

Great reads, thank you! Even though I knew Michelle's story, reading Crying in H Mart left me in tears so many times.

You always have the best books for not only you and people trying get interested in but for the world to read and help them with there life and future and make them proud and the best person they deserve I’ve started watching your videos since yesterday I was so shocked I’m Japanese and these books help so much Love you!!

loved these recommendations and how neat you summed them up! great video

this is really inspiring me to start reading more outside of academics especially because I haven't been able to go out and live my best life, also can we talk about how everything about Jen matches the interior of the room haha

Honestly I only started to get back into reading once I graduated college.

Am a big lover of books but whenever I fall short of book inspiration I always fall back on your KZread book rec vedios.I love how you take the effort of summing up each and every book for your viewers. Thank you so much. Looking forward to more of such vedios. Loads Of Love from 🇮🇳India ❤️❤️💕💐

Thanks for the recommendation Jenn! Always so worth reading what’s on your list 📚 thanks for your honest review 😆

LOVE hearing your thoughts on these and will definitely be adding them on my tbr as part of the 20 books i'm trying to read this year (even though that list is already WAAAY too long)

*Lovely set of books* about brave women ♡ been meaning to delve deeper into Haruki Murakami & really want to read Chanel Miller's book! Wonderful, thank you

I live for your book recs!!! U have such great taste

Jenn! I love how passionate you talk about all the books you read this year. I’m curious, how do you go about choosing what books to read? Love you! 😘

I feel like you would like the memoir When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. Kalanithi had stage four long cancer as I remember correctly and he wrote about his life and struggles dealing with it. He passed away before the book got released. The book really affected me.

This is a fabulous list. Thanks, Jenn! I’m definitely hoping to read Dear Girls sometime this year. And I have no reading goal either, just to keep reading 🤓

Love you book recommendations, especially th fiction and self-help. I'm always trying to improve myself every year. I will also look back on this video when I become a mom and need good parenting books :)

I love how you get straight to the point, but you are still so into those books that you make everyone read them!

Hey Jenn can you please do a video on some tips and Strategies to do while reading to fully understand the books. It will be really hopefully and also my New Years goals is to read more. Love your videos 💜✨☺️

Such good recommendations! You're amazing 🙌💕

Hi Jenn - Happy New Year! Wishing you, Ben, Lennon, and Cheeki all the very best for 2022! Well done on all the books that you read last year and it was really interesting hearing your insights on the books. Looking forward to seeing what books you explore this year and I hope that you are doing well with the continuing transition of being a new parent as well as individually. Sending you lots of love x Stay safe and well x :-)

I miss your video so much. Thank you for the recommendation btw!

This video was perfectly timed. I never expected myself to be an avid reader until I realized that it doesn't matter what I'm reading, as long as it's fun. I tried out a book from the humour section (Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling) last week and I love it so far. It doesn't feel like a chore. Thank you for the book recommendations! I'm definitely going to check out Storyworthy and Dear Girls. Happy New Year, Jenn! ♡

Appreciate your recommendations! Definitely reading some of them. I’ve never consider myself a reader so the goal was to just start. I finished my 2021 with reading 10 books☺️ one of them was A New Earth as well, a brilliant book!✨

Thank you for all the great book recommendations Jenn! Next time I wouldn't mind a longer video with a bit more detail on each book to really persuade me which ones to try (or just fewer books mentioned with more detail) ;)

Was waiting. Happy new year

Ahh, now I want to read Zoo Station, or "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo", I already saw the movie when I was younger and am scared of drugs ever since. Thank you for reminding me that behind the movie stand this memoir of Christine F.

Happy New Year Jenn!! 🥳🎉🎉

I just LOVE your book talk….. love ya

I am mid way through this video and i absolutely love it Thank you for this ❤️

I follow you on Goodreads! I love your book suggestions

Yayy a new book recommendation video!!!❣

Really good recommendations! Can you do a video of how you document books that you’ve read? How to remember what the book was about?

OMG thank you for sharing your thoughts on And Then There Were None ! I had the hardest time finishing it !!! I dont remember if you'd already tried Higashino Keigo"s books or not but his storytelling is so much more captivating and I appreciate him so much more after the other one :))

Every day, every video you inspire me to be a better person

YAYY I love listening to ur book reviews

I'm currently in the middle of "Know My Name". Aside from being a really important story to be told, Chanel Miller's writing style is incredibly stunning. Really good so far!

I missed, these videos! You look stunning, per usual 😍

LOVE YOUR OUTFIT!

Thanks for sharing! 🐱 Love your outfit!

Please don't stop doing those books videos!!🤍

This is amazing!! Thank you!

Love, love this video! Thank you for all the recommendations. Do you keep track of what you read, like making summaries or taking notes? Love if you could share your method 🥰 And happy new year!

Love this video idea! I got some great recommendations marked down on my Goodreads. Would love to see a 2022 version, even if it’s only 3 books 😉

Absolutely inspiring type of video! You are so smart 👍

Jenn, I also think IEWU didn't meet my expectation, but I think you'd like Reminders Of Him. Especially as a new mom, I think you'd feel for the main characters. Love ya!

One of my new year resolution is to read 30 mins a day! So this video is perfect 😊🙏🏾

Yeyyy!! So excited for this ❤️

I totally agree with you about Naval. After you talked about him I listened all his podcasts

You inspire me to read more! Thank you!

The Omnivore’s Dilemma is my favorite book ever! You should check out Cooked by Michael Pollan too. That one is much more lighthearted and fun.

I have tried three books by Colleen Hoover because her books always got good reviews and Goodreads awards, but they were never my cup of tea. I also read one of Louise Hay's books in 2021, "Experience Your Good Now". I used to listen to the audio version on KZread many times but never reached to the end. Her soothing and calming voice just put me to sleep before I could finish. Thanks for the reviews, Jenn. "Big Magic" has been on my list for so many years too and I definitely should read it soon.

Thank you for giving some brief synopsis of each book you’ve read and what your opinions were! For 2022, I’m looking to read more so I’ll definitely be looking into your recommendations! If you see this, where is your satin shirt from?? Love you!

Watching this for some book inspo but just needed to say that you look lovely in this video!

hey jenn! i have a book for you to read this year, its called "memoirs of a geisha" im not so into books but its a lovely novel about a young girl in japan who grows up to become an entertainer or a geisha! its my all time favorite and im someone who doesn't really enjoy books but i absolutely loved reading that so i would like to recommend that to you if you haven't already read it!! also wishing you and the family a very happy new year as well!

You Can Heal Your Life is TRANSFORMATIVE!!!!! I cried a TON!!!
