[JessiEvaS]

@KenCheatedOnBarbie My pleasure! Thank you for watching :)

[toadroll]

How did you read so many?! I only got up to 32,I believe.

[JessiEvaS]

@toadroll Hard work, perseverance, and a lot of YA books.

[stevedacool]

What did you think of the Mortal Instrument series and the Hunger Games series?

[JessiEvaS]

@stevedacool I love them! I was trying not to re-read too many books in 2010, but I had to make an exception for two of my favourite series.

[Jellafy]

hi! I really hope you post another year in books for 2011. as an avid reader, they are always a video highlight for me ;)

[cezzie901]

How did I miss this in January? Crazy! And it was at the beginning of 2010 that I was promising to upload my own '50 books in a year' and didn't. Woops. :S

It'll be interesting to see how your 50 books reading goes this year now that you're in NZ. I wonder if you'll end up making one of these videos too. :)

I just went out and bought a few books, among them were Going Bovine and Never Let Me Go. Going Bovine I knew I'd heard from you, and for the longest I was wondering where I'd heard Never Let Me Go from - I was sure I'd heard it somewhere - sure enough, here it is. You sure can drive some people crazy, Jessie :p

[vetricelvan]

[catwomanandharley]

Have you read any of Meg Rosoff's books?

love your vids by the way :P I just subscribed! :D

[WitheredWings345]

o.o that's a lot of books

[chrisinano]

"Hex Hall" by Rachel Hawkins,Percy Jackson books 1-5 by Rick Riordan,The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan

[MrDarcyCat]

I like your taste in books, you should try "Rebecca" by Daphne Du Maurier and "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. Two of my favorites I don't think I've heard you mention. I'm going to try "A Great and Terrible Beauty" from your list last year, and "A reliable wife" sounds interesting(I looked up a lot of your list).

[barbie88888888]

[yehyakouzi]
