Thank you for doing this. I am still in utter shock. It feels so unreal that she is no longer with us. She was so inspiring and a joy to discuss books with. She will be dearly missed and I love how the book community is coming together in memory of her. I will certainly join in and continue to read with Jennifer in my mind for a long time. 🙏

Thanks for keeping the memory of Jenny going. She was awesome 💜

I’m still just broken with shock but I appreciate you and Tiffany doing this tribute. You are truly stepping up to honor Jennifer.

I will be absolutely joining you in this readathon to honor Jenny. Thank you both so much for putting this together. She was an incredible, vibrant woman. I always watched her videos, regardless of whether or not the subject was one I cared about, because she was just a joy to watch.

I thought of her Saturday seeing Complete Shelley. I've wanted to read In the Villa by Rachel Atkins. I read on thanks to her spur. As another texted, I watched for her vitality and enthusiasm, her honesty; not always the choices. Jennifer's lucidity and ease in presentation was tremendous. The good die young, is an old chestnut, yet so true for her.

The story about the man turning into a bug, it sounds like The Metamorphosis of Franz Kafka. She was probably reading the letters of Kafka. Thank you and Tiffany for putting this together.

Yes, Kafka! Thank you and thank you for your kind words and participation.

11:00 Franz Kafka , yes 1st she read his diary and loved it so much she decided to read the letters between Kafka and his editor (Kafka fell in love with his editor) the letters from her got lost in time but his survived

I am going to read the Life and Times of Dante and both volumes of Vasari. I had never heard of Vasari before and learned so much from both of them. She had a great love of Dante and certainly passed it on to me. (Well, both she and Tom from LA who did the fabulous video of The Divine Comedy.

Thanks for the video. I'll miss Jenny's erudition and love of the Classics and History. Calling someone nice sometimes doesn't seem enough but the world would be a better place with more nice people in it and Jenny always seemed nice. I think this might be the right time for me to finally read Dante. I'll read the Villa. I might re-read Animal Farm too. You two managed to get me to listen to Kpop too, which was a harder sell than the books.

Jennifer’s channel really meant a lot to me. I will be joining this in her honor. I only discovered her last year, but her thoughts and impressions resonated with me like no other BookTube blogger. Thanks for doing this.

I'm just now finishing reading "Napoleon the Great" because of Jennifer. I started reading it two days after she posted her Napoleon video. I'll miss hearing her thoughts on literature. Thank you for doing this.

I knew u guys were close. When u posted in ur community tab that u were grieving the loss of a friend I never thought in a million years it was Jennifer . I just bought a book because of the way she described it on her last video (before I knew of her passing) so when the book got home I was still in shock . My condolences to u and her family 🙏❤️

Jenny was amazing and she will be missed.💔 I only interacted with her via comments, but I watched all her videos and was genuinely heartbroken when I heard about her passing away. I already have some options for February. I rewatched a video about her favourite books of all time and from those I'm going to read 'Interview with the Vampire' by Anne Rice. I bought 'How to Sell a Haunted House' by Grady Hendrix, which was one of her recent recommendations, hope to read that one too. For religion I might go with 'Judita', which is a retelling of Judith, by a Croatian author Miro Gavran. I's like to read it from the Bible as well and see how they compare. I remember her video about reading K-pop stars recommendations in which she read 'The Devotion of Suspect X' by Keigo Higashino. That was the one she gave five stars to, so that's the one I'll be reading. For Italy I have many options. I might go with Rome and read a nonfiction book 'A History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women' by Emma Southon. Since she loved reading about Roman emperors, maybe I'll go with 'I, Claudius' by Robert Graves or 'Augustus' by John Williams. And since she went to Sicily recently and also read Shakespeare, maybe I'll pick up 'The Winter's Tale', which is set in Sicily. I'll definitely try to find a book about Richard III, as well as 'Letters to Milena' by Franz Kafka. Thanks for hosting this readathon. It's a wonderful tribute to Jenny. God bless you. 🙏

i am so sorry for your loss too...i used to watch her videos all the time...now...i have a hard time to watch...because its still so fresh. but i am of thought, that we must keep her alive...i find comfort in you, Tristan, Katie ,,,and Jennifer , you all being my oracle of inspiration...i will certainly read the Villa, and The Cenci!..Thank you for doing this...thank you for being her friend...Thank you Jennifer for making me Follow Christy... I know this video must have been hard to make...Hug you Christy

I think you mean The Ballad of the White Horse by G K Chesterton. I was planning to read that this year! I did not know about Jenny mentioning it! I think I will join in the group read and the book on Paul and the book on the canon. I also wanted to read a Wilke Collins. I am actually planning a readathon about Rome for March and April and I was going to read Horace in her memory. I am so sorry, Christy, for the loss of your close friend. I think you, more than anyone on booktube feel it most acutely. I am so glad you have your Christian faith to help you through this tragedy.

Thank you so much to you and Tiffany for doing this! I did not often comment on Jennifer's video's but I always watched them & I thought she was truly special. I will read Romantic Outlaws because I know Jennifer loved that book & they were both extraordinary women, just like Jennifer.

Thank you for doing this. Jennifer’s passing has shocked me and hurt me so much. I loved her videos and, even though I didn’t personally know her, I could tell she was an amazing person. I just bought Dante’s Inferno and will read it in her honor. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.

I read The Villa last year based on her recommendation. It was one of my favorite books of 2023. Her excitement over that book was incredibly infectious. She will definitely be missed. I still can’t believe that she is gone. I just can’t wrap my head around it. My heart goes out to her family and to you and her other friends. ❤

So sorry, Christy, for the loss of your friend. ♥️😢 Praying for you and her family, too. I picked up Selections from Canzoniere, as it was the last book I added to my TBR from her wonderful videos. 😓 I’ll be reading that in honor and memory of her.

Thanks for putting this special readathon together! I've requested The Villa and a few books about King Alfred the Great from my library, and I'll look for others fulfilling the rest of the prompts when I'm there in person later this week. I remember Jennifer had at least one video on books about King Alfred, who's also one of my favorite historical figures in addition to my 36-greats-grandpap. It doesn't feel quite real that she's left the material world, particularly at such a young age.

This is such a wonderful idea. Thanks so much for putting this together. ❤

Thank you for this. Jennifer was such a beautiful person and will be greatly missed. I had already planned on buddy reading one of her favorites, but I'll try to pick something else from your ideas as well. ❤️

Such a wonderful idea 💛

Thank you for making this. She was so loved by us all 💕💕💕

I cannot thank you enough for doing this. As a subscriber of hers and a longtime fan, i love how thorough this readathon is as it covers literally everything she was interested in. I will definitely be joining along❤

I will be reading some of the books from her video 24 to read in 24. I also will be reading Dante in memory 😢

Thank you for doing this and for helping us remember Jenny. I found her when trying to decide which edition of classics I should collect, and her passion for books and classics captured me immediately. She inspired me to read more ancient classics, and I participated in the Divine Comedy readathon she hosted. Her educational yet approachable videos and immense knowledge introduced me to so many books I wouldn’t have found otherwise. She was able to sell me any book, she made all of them sound intriguing! I also enjoyed her reading vlogs and travel vlogs, especially her travels to Italy. Her channel was unique on KZread and I will miss her videos and energy. 🕊️

I am one of those new to you because I saw the “in memory of Jennifer Brooks” tag in my feed. I had come across her channel over the past few months and loved her content. I am always interested in people who aren’t just reading the latest TikTok book or what publishers have sent them, but those going into classics or historical works. Thank you for doing this. I was stunned when I came across the announcement from her mother on her channel. She was such a young and vibrant woman. Her most recent videos were talking about her plans for the upcoming year and what she was excited about reading. Unexpected passing of someone young is especially difficult. Take care of yourself and give yourself the peace and grace to heal. ❤

I'm so sorry for the loss of someone who was clearly so special!!! I'm glad that you have found this way to keep her memory alive and a way to get through this grief together... much love to all.

Yay I liked notes from the underground, looking forward to your video

I had decided the night after I find out about her passing that I was going to incorporate a few of her 2024 TBRs to my list as well and read them for her: The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo, Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh and possibly Maria Antoinette by Stefan Zweig. And I have also changed up my Victober Reads too adding, of course a Wilkie Collins to the mix. (not sure which one just yet). And of course I cannot listen to EXO without thinking about Jenny. #EXOLs4Life. Thank you Christy and Tiffany for heading this up so we can all remember and honor Jenny. ❤‍🩹 #welovejenny ** and I’m also going to add back The Princes in the Tower. I had started that back in December but it got too hectic so I stopped.

I am super new to Booktube, and hadn’t found Jenny until another booktuber posted about her passing. I watched a couple of her last videos and I’m so sad I didn’t stumble across her sooner. So I’m going to join in as a way to get to know her, since she sounds so amazing. Thank you for doing this, what a special way to honor her. I do truly hope you continue to talk about Jenny. Sending comfort and peace to you, her mom, and and all in her circle. ❤ I’m a huge Shakespeare nut, so I may first check out what she had to say about Richard III-I enjoy learning about the true person versus the play. 😊

Praying for your strength and thanking you so much for doing this ❤❤

Thank you for doing this ❤

Thank you for this. I will be starting with The Villa and The Idiot both of which Jenny enjoyed greatly. Miss her.

Thank you for organizing this wonderful tribute to Jennifer. I’ve never commented on your channel before, but I’m so sorry that she passed away so suddenly. I felt really sad when I learned of her passing, and I can’t imagine how those who knew her personally must feel. I plan to read Book Lovers by Emily Henry this month, because I remember how she loved discovering this author last year, and maybe something about Napoleon (her videos on her Napoleon project were so great, and I remember thinking after visiting the big exhibition about him in Paris in 2021 that she would have loved it) or the French Revolution.

I am very sorry for your loss, Christy. I only knew Jenny her through her videos but I still found the news truly harrowing, so my heart goes out to you and her family 💔. I loved how articulate, knowledgeable, passionate and fun she was and I have been revisiting some of her old videos and planning to read some of her favourites (it’ll probably be some Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens for me and I’ll certainly listen to the K-Pop playlist). Thank you for doing this, it’s a true testament to your friendship and a beautiful way to help everyone honour her life and love for books, history and music 💎

I was saddened when I heard the news. I always enjoyed her videos and the reading sprints you and Jenny did. I have placed The Villa on hold so I can read it next month. Thank you Christy.

What a wonderful, wonderful readathon! I will be revamping my 2024 TBR.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Losing Jenny has been so sad and shocking and I haven’t stopped thinking about the people who were closest to her. ❤ I will be reading Richard III, Dante, and Mary Shelley in her memory.

Thank you both so much for hosting this. I will hunt down a copy of The Villa to join in the group read ❤️ There are so many books on my tbr I added because of Jennifer's incredible reviews.

I followed Jennifer and loved her! It was such a shock. I do not think it unreasonable to ask...how did she die? What actually happened? Why is no one mentioning this? She was so young!!

She died of the human condition......being mortal. Whether an infant dying of starvation, a 19-year-old soldier dying in a trench, a 31-year old dropping dead, or an old guy (like me) of 70+ looking at ever shortening days, our fate is sealed, and comes too soon. BookTube is the examination, via the written and spoken word, of the mortal condition and the systems that support it. It's always a sad or joyful experience, depending on your situation and outlook. She knew these facts, which is why so many connected with her. Jennifer was good at BookTube. She lived a good life, and we, here, are briefly gathered to celebrate this one exemplary life. Watch the clip again. See the progression from smiling infant to serious but still smiling adult. The details are the details, and if you ask enough times, they may come to light. But the underlying facts of her wonderful mortality will not change.

Hi Christy. I feel so lucky that I found Jennifer Brooks book tube videos. She gave me so many book ideas that I got-Renaissance, Wilkie Collins, various history books. etc. I have plenty of books to remember her by. I will be reading one of the Renaissance based books this year that originally came from Jenny's recommendations. I want to also read The Villa.

❤❤❤Thank you for this readathon and all the ways to participate. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for all of this. I am all set, as I had already purchased several book last year based on Jennifer's recommendations. I even have Varney the Vampire. I plan to continue purchasing books this year based on Jennifer's recommendations as well. She was such a special person, had a profound impact on my life, and I will be thinking of her each and every day.

Thank you so much for doing this. I've been heartbroken since the announcement. I also realized how much of my 2024 tbr is due to Jennifer. Most notably doing a deep dive into Ancient Lit, and reading The Woman in White for the first time. Looks like all of 2024 - and beyond - will be a tribute to her. I loved the way her passion and personality shone through in her videos. She is greatly missed.

Great tribute to a booktubers, I didn't know her. Sorry for your loss. ❤️

I am very sorry for your loss, Christy. You and Jenny were obviously so close. It’s very difficult to lose a dear friend at anytime, but especially when your loved one is so young and their passing is unexpected. Jenny was an inspiration to so many. Take care and thank you for making room for all of us to remember and honour Jennifer. ✝️❤️

This is a lovely idea. I’ll probably read Messalina which I bought after Jennifer’s recommendation.

Thank you❤ I am going to read Lodore by Mary Shelley. Jennifer shared this book last year? So many feelings with her passing.

I am new here - this is so nice of you - you are a valued friend ❤️

I am still shocked and heartbroken. Thank you for organizing this readathon. I have a long list of books that I associate with Jenny's channel. I am thinking of reading Romantic Outlaws (biography of Mary Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft, she also intereviewed the author) and Hesse's Demian.

There are so many great choices for this readathon, not surprising considering how many passions Jenny had.

I am also really interested in Letters to Milena, The Robe and plan to get The Villa as well. I have saved the K-pop playlist to listen to.
