[Blush900]

Looking forward to reading it. Do you know if they have it at Target? I am probably going to return something there today. Otherwise, I can check out my local bookstore or Barnes and Noble.

[BlackLabLover9]

@Blush900 Umm i'm not sure, they might carry it.

[LittleT287]

I have written several books down,especially the doggie one!!! Thank you for sharing all of the books with us and hope there's more to come!!! Love your nail polish color, what is it? Take care Jen and thank you!!! xoxo,Tara

[BlackLabLover9]

@LittleT287 Hi! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - i'm having fun making them! I'm wearing Barry M Mushroom on my nails. :D

[BRONXPEPE]

yes books are so much better than a movie and movies can't have all the detailing as the book cuz they are only allowed a certain amount of hours to make a movie. I agree ur own imagination of a book is so much more magical and better than any other way.

[BlackLabLover9]

@BRONXPEPE I totally agree!

[doggiemommaof4]

Love these videos! You've inspired me to start my own book club!!!

[BlackLabLover9]

@doggiemommaof4 Hi! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - i'm having fun making them! YAY!! Good luck on your club - that's awesome!

[Pinkerbellx2]

Hi Jen, thanks so much for this and the other video! I already got The Mermaid Chair and am loving it so far!!! This was a great video idea.....there are so many books out there sometimes it is hard to choose one. I hope you do more suggestions as you read more............I can't wait to read so many of the ones you talked about!

[BlackLabLover9]

@Pinkerbellx2 Hi! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - i'm having fun making them! yay - glad you are enjoying the Mermaid Chair!!

[Blush900]

Definitely looking forward to reading this book!

[BlackLabLover9]

@Blush900 I'm so glad!

[TravelPages]

Jen, could you possibly tell more about your own impressions on the books you've read. The description on the back sounds too ... whatever, but when you talk about how much you liked it and why, that's much more interesting! Thank you!

[BlackLabLover9]

@TravelPages Aww ok, I just don't want to give too much away!

[rakwil]

Hey there! I'm really loving these book review videos! :) Please do keep them coming as I would love to get more ideas on what books I can start reading. Take care :)

[BlackLabLover9]

@rakwil Hi! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - i'm having fun making them!

[Blush900]

Thanks for your advice! I will read the book first. I agree with you, I think the books are usually better than the movie. They go into a lot more depth.

[BlackLabLover9]

@Blush900 Exactly! :D

[SingingBrie07]

I love your necklace and earrings...where'd you get them?

[BlackLabLover9]

@SingingBrie07 Thank you! I got them at an accessory shop called Billeto

[cassandrasmom]

Jen I am loving these videos!! I wanted to tell you that Jodi Picoult is my favorite author....I really loved her book "Plain Truth"... amazing!! I recommend it to you!! Thanks again for the recommendations!! xoxo Sara

[BlackLabLover9]

@cassandrasmom Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!! Thanks for the recommendation!!

[goode2shuz1]

I love to read too, Jen, and have so enjoyed your book club vids. Thanks for such great ideas. I have copied & pasted your book suggestions so I can print them out & take to the book store this weekend. I have a B. Dalton's in my mall and I love that store. I tried to start a book club in my area years ago, but it slowly faded away as I couldn't find enough people interested. Most of my friends enjoyed the food and beverages more than the book discussion, lol! xoxo :) Carla

[BlackLabLover9]

@goode2shuz1 Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!! haha yeah, we always look forward to the food too!!

[HummingBirdBeauty]

Oooooooo Jen! That color looks fantastic on you! You are always so cute and a joy to watch! :)

LeAnn

[BlackLabLover9]

@HummingBirdBeauty Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!!

[Blush900]

This is a great variety of books! Is it better to watch my Sister's Keeper the movie first or read the book first? I get pretty emotional over stories like that to, but I still like to watch movies and read books like that. I like light hearted books, but I also like deep books that make you think. Thanks for the list! I will definitely pick up some of these books!

[BlackLabLover9]

@Blush900 I would say read the book first...definately! 

[KaeJax]

Read a couple of these. Will have to check out the rest. :)

[BlackLabLover9]

@KaeJax Cool! I hope you enjoy them!

[MissCrystalMakeup]

Great video, Jen! I love to read so this gives me new ideas. Somehow I missed the first one though so I'll go back and check out your selections. xoxo

[BlackLabLover9]

@MissCrystalMakeup Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!!

[ceecee2108]

[BlackLabLover9]

@ceecee2108 I agree...i'm way to sensitive to read books like that i was a mess!!

[misskristin216]

What is that purple/blue eye shadow you are wearing?

[BlackLabLover9]

@misskristin216 I'm wearing white snowflake on the base of my eye from Blue Line COsmetics and I'm wearing a purple eyeshadow (I think from Mac in the crease.

[luloops]

I just bought Shanghai Girls by Lisa See at the Goodwill. GD is great place to find used books for a great price. I haven't read Snow Flower and The Secret Fan yet although it's definately on my list.

[BlackLabLover9]

@luloops Let me know how you like it!

[amycouturex3]

[BlackLabLover9]

@amycouturex3 Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!!

[suzieb149]

I loved my sisters keeper. I also cried my eyes out.... no fun when your reading it on public transport but hey at least nobody set beside me :p P.S. I love you by Cecelia Ahern is another great read. It'll have you crying your eyes out one min and rolling about laughing the next!

[BlackLabLover9]

@suzieb149 Oh wow, yeah I'm way to sensitive to read books like that...i was a mess!! Thanks for the recommendation!

[trakat77]

I love that you're doing a series of videos on your book club picks! You're like a mini Oprah!...well, sort of. ;o) Anyhow, love the vids and fantastic faves. BTW, I was bawling like a blubbering fool at the end of the movie, My Sister's Keeper. Of course, I've been known to blubber at Hallmark commercials. :P Love ya'! xo

[BlackLabLover9]

@trakat77 Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!! xoxo

[greengreyeyes28]

OMG read Outlander!!! Never met anyone who didn't love it, or the books that follow.

[BlackLabLover9]

@greengreyeyes28 adding that one to my list too!! Thanks again!!

[greengreyeyes28]

Loved Mermaid Chair and My Sister's Keeper, adored Deep End. Read Change of Heart!!!

[BlackLabLover9]

@greengreyeyes28 I will add it to my list! Thanks!!

[iamme0091]

I read my sisters keeper for school one year and i literally cried...so emotional. Btw I love ur videos, keep em up:)

[BlackLabLover9]

@iamme0091 Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!!

[BarrysDaughter]

They all sound good, especially my sister's keeper, Ijust know Ged would be telling me to put it down too I cry at commercials lol :0) xxxJoolsxxx

[BlackLabLover9]

@BarrysDaughter Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!!

[4theluvofmakeup]

I adored the Mermaid Chair! So good, yet so sad.

[BlackLabLover9]

@4theluvofmakeup It was a great book!

[scrumps101]

I had to favorite this video so that I can come back to it for the great reading recommendations. Thanks Jen!! The only one I've read on this list is My Sisters Keeper. I read it 6 years after my son was diagnosed with leukemia. Needless to say, it was an extremely emotional read for me too. Yet one of the best books I've ever read.

[BlackLabLover9]

@scrumps101 Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!! Oh wow, give your son a big hug from me...take care!

[suerte1866]

I am reading "My sister's keeper" !! I loved the movie too!

[BlackLabLover9]

@suerte1866 Really...boy that one really effected me...that was some book!

[mdnitebutterfly]

I think I might want to read Whispers at Midnight. I know My sister's Keeper is probably a good movie and I've been wanting to see it but I will be just like you...crying my eyeballs out. So, I try to stay away from those movies.

[BlackLabLover9]

@mdnitebutterfly I agree..I'm way too sensitive to read books like that...I was a mess!!

[mylittlecasey1]

I got goosebumps when you were reading the description of My Sister's Keeper. What an emotional storyline!

[BlackLabLover9]

@mylittlecasey1 It was unlike anything i've read before...i'm just way too sensitive to read books like that!

[devonchr1]

MY SISTERS KEEPER TORE ME UP!! I was crying and just heartbroken for the whole book. I have been an avid reader for years and it was nothing like anything I have ever read! I have to say I now know I do not like sad books and would never read one like that again because I an entirely too sensitive!! :) I agree the books are always better then the movies except for The Lovely Bones. Hated the book but really liked the movie. Weird because that is the one and only time I have experienced that!

[BlackLabLover9]

@devonchr1 OMG!! MEE TOO!! I was a mess!! I'm way too sensitive too!

[ThePinkmess]

Just ran across a site called Gurugossip that bashes and raves about Ytube gurus.... It has eight long pages bashing LisaLisaD1 for an example. Had no idea there were discussion threads like that!

[peaceluvmakeup1]

great video eye tutoriall pleasee

[BlackLabLover9]

@peaceluvmakeup1 Thanks - I have to do one soon!

[grnmtgrl]

Totally love this. I have most of Jodi Picoult's books and really like her as an author. Lisa See is another favorite. Excellent choices. Have them all except Karen Robards. Books always are so much richer and fuller than movies for obvious reasons so if I watch the movie I make sure I have read the book first. Hugs to you and Petee.

[BlackLabLover9]

@grnmtgrl Thank you so much!!  I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos - they are fun to make!! Peeps says hi!

[SavedbyGrace0511]

I love these videos! Several of the books I've already read.

[BlackLabLover9]

@SavedbyGrace0511 Oh cool! I'm glad you are enjoying them!

[RoxyJ01]

I loved Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, the whole foot-binding part had me cringing. So epic though.

[BlackLabLover9]

@RoxyJ01 Oh I know...It really opened my eyes...wow

[kewlchick72]

i think my sister's keeper was also a movie

[BlackLabLover9]

@kewlchick72 It was with Cameron Diaz

[animalrescuegeek]

I can't agree more the books are better than a movie.

[BlackLabLover9]

@animalrescuegeek right...so much better!

[animalrescuegeek]

I love this series.

[BlackLabLover9]

@animalrescuegeek I'm so glad! :D
