I avoided reading like the plague when I was younger. Now I read books to RELAX! Plot twist of the century. Please let me know any book recommendations you have here!!

[@sandsiren4840]

Jenn Im you have to read Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Life changing! It’s philosophical and makes the reader question the stories we’ve been told about why things are the way they are. Puts a whole new perspective regarding human nature and how we impact the environment

[@xRyokucha]

21 Lessons for the 21st Century
by Yuval Noah Harari

[@anne-luciebugain5298]

White Oleander by Janet Fitch is one of my favourite novels of all time. It will make you cry so much though :")

[@YesHerself]

the 40 rules of love by elif shafak! :)

[@rachelok5346]

The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. It was such a fulfilling story about how you change each person around you, whether you know it or not. The ending made me cry 😭😭 not because it was particularly sad but bc it was so heartwarming

[@YesHerself]

you should do a book update every 2-3 months. I genuinely love your recommendations :) much love

[@imjennim]

That sounds good! I only show my favorites in my monthly faves, but I should share all the books that I read that didn't make that list either!

[@dios4coronada]

Jenn Im YES PLEASE! we wouldn’t want to wait a whole year for it

[@PopoRinrin]

Yesss please

[@unigirl123]

Yes yes yes. I have to save this video to my fave list so I can come back and check out all the books recommendation from Jenn & everybody

[@lovelight6973]

Agree. 😊

[@sarahybarrientos]

JENNNNNNN I JUST GOT AN IDEA IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS VIDEO!!!!
You should do a look book about what you think a certain character from a book would wear? I know this is a little more complicated since there are millions of books not everyone reads, but maybe it could be a start of something different on your channel? I hope you continue to do the art one, just not so literal like last time :)

[@sowmyaveera]

Brilliant comment very underrated ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

[@anniek6239]

I definitely recommend 'The five people you meet in heaven' by Mitch Albom. It's about Eddie, a wounded war veteran who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him, as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. It's a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his ''meaningless'' life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: ''Why was I here?''
I read it when I was younger and it was one of those books that really stayed with me. It's a pretty light read for a somewhat heavier subject, so if you can, definitely pick it up. :)

[@maookusawa5425]

Same author, “Tuesdays with Morrie” is also such a great book😉

[@jellyacc]

Ooh sounds like a good one!

I love how passionately you talk about all of these!! I can’t wait to delve into them. I just finished “You” and the sequel “Hidden Bodies” so I’ve been needing something else!! Thank you!

[@krisxcross]

I just graduated college and want to read more this year to continue learning while not in school! Thanks for the recs Jenn! ^_^

[@kimberleeornelas6305]

Kristine Claire Same! It’s so hard to read for pleasure while in school. Just reading textbooks burns me out. But before I start grad school I’m going to catch up on all these good reads I’ve been missing. Lol.

[@tiniphuong]

Yes yes yes! I have been waiting SO LONG for another book reco video from you!! I am so happy right now, you really made my day.

[@4LiFETERNiA]

Thanks Jenn! One of my New Year’s resolution is to read at least two books this year.

[@modernlywild]

Omg I loved this video! I didn’t think about reading more during this year but makes me excited to know about these books. Thanks!

[@alessiatrabucco9725]

I love how passionate you are about these books! I'll definitely read some of them so thank you!!

[@SheWhoShallBeNamed]

ive been following you for quite some time and always take notes of your book recommendations! so this is perfect

[@magda103p]

Jenn!! I’ve been following your channel years now and you always amaze me of how articulate and eloquent you are! As a non native english speaker is always a joy listening you talking, it inspires me to make a better use my mother tongue and the other languages that I speak. Lots of love❤️

[@camiambrosio827]

You must read: 1)the vortex by Ester Hicks 2)Mastery of love Don Miguel Ruiz 3)The lotus and the lily by Janat Conner 4) letting go by David R. Hawkins 5) a New model by Ashley Graham (: these are books to find happiness and peace in life. Enjoy! Ahola

[@kahmunwong6900]

You always keep me pumped up for reading! Needed a boost of energy to push me to finish a book that i was slacking off. TQ!!!

[@mawitha_]

I finally started college classes this semester, and for the past month i’ve really wanted to get back into reading, but didn’t know where to start! I loooved reading growing up and would finish books so quick because i loved them so much! This video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, thanks for your reccomendations Jenn :)

[@ashdani8561]

Jenn please read Snow Falling on Cedars! I think I recommended it to you a couple years ago! It's historical fiction about a Japanese American family in Washington state whose whole life is upended by the Japanese internment camps of WW2. That's really only part of the book though, as it is about how the dad came from Japan and made a prosperous life in America. His family rented and farmed land from a white family so the book is also about the relationship between those two families. It's a really famous book and I think you would love it!

[@kquytran]

Yess perfect timing! Time to read all of these. So happy, I feel like you're one of the few able to recommend good books because you read so much. Keep on reading!! ❤

[@majo2578]

THANK YOU! i'm planning to read more this year and this is a great way to start

[@schewy93]

I live for these book lists of yours! Can't wait to get my hands on Dark Places and The Last Mrs.Parrish!

[@emmayou2577]

Jenn!! You should definitely watch “You” on Netflix! I feel like you would love it since it’s a psychological thriller. Basically its about a psycho-stalker lover and, I don’t want to get into it too much since it’s actually really interesting to get into it without knowing anything about it. I’m also sure it’s a book too!

[@imjennim]

Ben and I finished it already!! Loved it!

[@encly3881]

Jenn, I'm actually working towards the film industry next year when I get into college and one of my dreams is to acknowledge cultures, traditions and global topics. Pachinko seemed really interesting to me and will have to read it sometime. And inspired me to read up on global history topics that are usually not talked about. Thank You, Jenn, for the inspo

You have to read Educated by Tara Westover! It’s absolutely amazing memoir that truly highlights how an education or lack thereof can affect someone’s life and beliefs. It’s also one of Oprah’s recommended books to read in case you need more persuasion lol

[@12natizinha]
