The Uni-Verse^
@@darcimadiba888 Nice one!
Jack you’re giving us so much content, is this your Taylor Swift era?
God I was JUST thinking about it HAHAH
Ahhhhh
Exactly yes same 😭💗✨
"The bread that the devil knead" is just such an interesting title to me, because I'm Brazilian and here we have an expression (in Trinidad they must have basically the same one) which is "o pão que o diabo amassou" (the title is a literal, word by word translation if this) and it is used to talk about when someone has had to face absolutely horrible situations, so we say that that person has "eaten the bread that the devil knead". Honestly, considering the synopsis, it's the most perfect title.
That is so perfect omg!!! When Jack read the description I immediately put it on my tbr pile because it was EXACTLY what I needed to read
Amo que as brasileiras estão em todos os lugares

Great compilation 🔥
You are a blessing to me
Thank you so much
Thank you!!
Jack constantly uploading is the best thing that have happened to me this month😂
It's funny, when you explained your initial scepticism regarding "Remote Sympathy", I was a little surprised because it seemed to me like a very normal/quite usual cover. When I heard that the story takes place in Munich, it all suddenly made sense. So yeah, what I guess I can take from that is that people from different countries apparently perceive covers differently
Me too, I thought it’s a normal cover 😛
I was thinking the exakt same! I guess German covers are comparatively colourless and boring.
@Lotte wouldn't necessarily say that. Also the author isn't even german. She's from New Zealand.
Disagree, i'm German and it definitely does give me non-fiction book vibes. not to the extent where I'd be as surprised as Jack but I can definitely see where he was coming from.
@@lotte377 they sadly are:(
I've been very slowly reading my way through this list. There a handful of 5 star reads for me so far, but my favorite is still This One Sky Day which I read last year and can still vividly recall most of.
Weird side note: for some reason they retitled it to Popisho for the U.S.
That’s so cool! Do you have more 5 star recs?
please share your 5 stars list!
Can you recommend your 5 star books please?
I was wondering that! I much prefer the American cover tho
Popisho has been on my tbr for a while. It sounds so good, just my kind of vibe! Took me a minute to realize it's the same book, lol.
Careless is a wonderful book, and I actually know the author as we were on the uni newspaper together. Really lovely person, and the book was heartbreaking. I can't wait to see what you think of it.
Jack's out here serving the ✨ quantity content ✨
Louise Erdrich is a Pulitzer Prize winner and an absolutely fantastic writer, especially about native American characters in the US. She also owns her very own cute independent bookstore in Minneapolis so I'm excited to see how she incorporated that and the experiences she had in the past few years in Minneapolis into the book
The sentence was one of my favorite reads of 2022 so far!
I haven't gotten to The Sentence yet, but The Round House, LaRose, and Future Home of the Living God are AMAZING. I've been stock piling her back list from used book stores and can't wait to binge through it.
‘Opal & Nev’ sounds like ‘A Star is Born’ with the diversity we needed.
"that's what my tshirt says!" absolutely precious
Ruth Ozeki’s novel was truly marvellous and heartbreaking, looking forward to a review from you!! Very important discussion about mental health in that book and just… as you would say: chef’s kiss, immaculate!!
jack is treating us nicely today
Your enthusiasm for The Bread the Devil Knead was so sweet. I went and ordered immediately.
Louise Erdrich is seriously a legend. I was so excited to see her on the list. I wouldn’t hesitate taking a chance on The Sentence.
I came here to say this too. The Sentence quickly became one of my favourites of this year (early days, but I really loved it!). It's so much more than a ghost story, I hope Jack gives it a chance!
Erdrich is one of the greatest writers ever. I have my copy, but always consider her work so sacred, I usually wait until I am ready and often like to keep a book of hers or two unread so I feel like I have something of hers to still ungift.
Amazing list of books you got there jack! Thank you for the effort and time you spent on reading and reviewing all the synopses. Really really helpful for me to pick which ones to read first 😊
I recently finished reading a book called Rainbow Milk by Paul Mendez. I really enjoyed it - lots of references to music, black and british culture and trying to get by in London. I have no idea if you've read it or not, but I feel like it is the sort of book you'd enjoy.
I LOVED that book!
I'm just over halfway through 'Great Circle' and I absolutely adore it so far. The book was quite daunting to begin with as it is so bloody massive and contains such a large cast of characters but it is honestly stunning. I would really recommend it to anyone who likes literary fiction that spans large periods of time and explores complex relationships and desires - although it isn't a one-to-one comparison it is giving me the same sort of feelings that 'Pachinko' did. (Though do check the trigger warnings before you start the book as there are some quite graphic scenes that would be difficult to skip over) 💕
I absolutely adored Great circle. Read it a month back and even though it’s almost 600 pages I finished I relatively quickly.
@@ShabbaHakimJediInHeels I'm glad you enjoyed it too! It really is one of those novels that just grabs you and pulls you in from the very beginning. I love how it will occasionally give the reader a chapter about a side character's life to show their perspective - I find that it makes the world and lives of the main characters more immersive and interesting. 💕
Jack, I tell you, you've been helping me read more books this year. Now I need to get off your videos so I can actually achieve my goal 😅
Double vids double whammy , jacks working his arse off 🤣
loving today’s content jack!! so proud of you and your active channels 🤍
Jack picks up Sorrow and Bliss: this is...*a book*. Also, Amanda Seyfried in Mamma Mis wishes she could say "dot dot dot" as dramatically as you!
your videos are so diverse and entertaining i love them so much
According to my time zone, you’ve uploaded thrice today! My oh my, so much content, feeling so blessed rn
Soo many of these books have me intrigued! Thanks for sharing this with us Jack, it really opens my eyes to the plethora of literature that exists in all corners of the world. So fascinating to see so many perspectives all in one box! Can't wait for your reviews on each of these books! Eeek I'm so excited 😁
I've had The Paper Palace on my TBR for months, and finally ordered it a few days ago. Unfortunately, most bookstores in my country don't regularly stock English language books for their online stock, so I have to wait about 3 weeks for it to be delivered, as it needs to be shipped in from the UK warehouse. I hope it lives up to the hype!
These sound so good! I had goodreads open all through out the video. I can't wait to start reading some of those!
Oooo I didn't know Opal and Nev was on the list! I LOVED that book so much! I actually met the author last weekend at the Des Moines Book Festival, she was awesome!
Wht's better than one Jack video talk about books? Two in one day, we started spring right. :)
Thanks for uploading so many videos! They always make my day😊
That UK cover and blurb for The Sentence doesn't do it justice. It's a fantastic novel, both sad and funny.
Do you hear that? That's the sound of me drowning in my TBR.
you have inspired me to change my major to literature!!
Fantastic that you’ve been sent these books, looking forward to at least trying to keep up!
i love how i opened youtube an hour ago to find a new jack edwards video and i just reopened youtube again right now to find another new one.
so happy you upload so frequently after i've just discovered your channels!!
the way my neck snapped and i got chills when u mentioned trinidad; i love some sweet sweet representation of my country !!!!!
There's sooo much magical realism/fantasy on this list, and I'm all here for it (after absolutely loving Piranesi last year) 😍
the book of form and emptiness is one of my all-time favourite books now! ruth ozeki's writing is absolutely stunning and magical i can't wait for you to read it!!!
you are the best kind of book-crazy and i am here for it!
This was so nice to watch. Also, "I'd replace my own spine with that" made me chuckle.
Wow two jack videos in a day?? ✨BLESSED✨
Absolutely love your vlog love the books you like to read really interesting to watch
Just Wanted to send love to you for all your video. I will absolutly watch this one tomorow at my work lunch break.
Love all your video, just read "before the coffee gets Cold" last week-end. Always good recommendations and cosy videos to watch. Like "my cosy little moment of the day" . Sorry for mistakes actually french. Kisses from Reunion Island .
I have just finished the Island of missing trees and it is one of the best books i have ever read. I absolutely Loved it!
you´re treating us lately. The amount of content - chefs kiss
Remote Sympothy is amazing. Catherine Chidgey was my lecturer at University, and after hearing about the book I was so intrigued. It's such an interesting premise and beautifully written. Her novel The Wish Child is also AMAZING.
love that you encourage reading diversely, particularly books by ethnic women! Please please please read Auē by Becky Manawatu. Written by a Māori (indigenous people of New Zealand) wahine (woman). This book left a deep mark on me and I can’t stop thinking about it.
So keen for some Aotearoa/New Zealand content on British BookTube ❤
Can you please recommend some more good titles? I really want to read literature from New Zealand but I have no idea where to start and it’s so hard to find any content.
@@JeannyMeyer I think it is hard to buy some NZ books in other countries. But here are some of my favourites and you can see if you can find any of them :)
Nothing To See - Pip Adam
The Rehearsal - Eleanor Catton
Dogside Story - Patricia Grace
A Mistake - Carl Shuker
Auē - Becky Manawatu
Chappy - Patricia Grace
Faces in the Water - Janet Frame
Small Bodies of Water - Nina Mingya Powles.
@@JeannyMeyer Tayi Tibble is also a young Māori poet who’s had two works published. I’ve only read her first, ‘Poūkahangatus’ but I loved it. ‘Rangikura’ is supposed to be great too. ‘The Bone People’ by Keri Hulme is also on my TBR. Book depository is great for buying NZ books! Free worldwide shipping too 💛
@@Keava_r thank you so much for the recommendations ❤️💗
Jack really is PROVIDING content this month!
Thank you Jack for another cracking video! Your love of diversity and the female voice has me wrapped around your literary fingers. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these and get stuck into a few myself 👍
Salt Lick is the first which I gravitated to, I am reading it now. Liking it so far. I did read Opal and Nev. Very good.
Yes, please do a whole video on the short list!!
every time i watch one of your videos i add at least 2 new books to my TBR..... (you know what... i'm gonna test this out now lol. let's see what new books i'm gonna want to read now)
Can’t wait to hear what you thought of these Jack! I’m waiting for the paper backs myself x
Great job Jack 👍👏 More power to you ❤️
Watching a Jack Edwards video means pausing it repeatedly to add another book to my TBR :))
Loving the amount of new content!!!!❤️✨
I legit gasped when I saw Ozeki's latest novel, I read A Tale For The Time Being for uni and it was one of my favourites that really opened literary fiction up for me as a genre I now love
This was such a great haul, I'm excited for the shortlist now! I've added 3 to my tbr: The Final Revival of Opal & Nev, The Exhibitionist, and The Bread the Devil Knead (which has a superb blurb)
2 VIDEOS!! tysm for the constant upload
Really excited for the women's prize longlist this year. I've read Flamingo. It was absolutely wonderful. Definite 5 star read for me. And I'm currently reading The Island of Missing Trees. It's excellent. So well written. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on all of them, Jack! ☺
I Just love your channel!!!!
the blurb of 'flamingo' was giving me serious gnomeo and julliet vibes, like the garden ones from the movie. I want this book to be actual flamingos...so i can imagine its their backstory
Out of Context Jack Edwards: “I would replace my own spine with that.”
So many of these sound terrific. But The One Sky Day and Remote Sympathy have me intrigued.
7:06 so happy to see a book set in my country! definitely added to my tbr
not u spoiling us with two vids in one day😭❤️
The book of form and emptiness is the only one of the list I've read so far (read it toward the end of last year) and I absolutely loved it! 5 stars! I don't think the blurb does it the justice it deserves, it tackles so many important topics
I am super interested in reading "The Book of Form and Emptiness." It was already on my TBR, but this just reminded me of how intriguing it sounds.
I'm very excited to read The Book of Form and Emptiness! I listened to her talk about it in the book shambles podcast and it sounds fascinating
Irony of the Century: Jack not judging books by their cover.
omg such beautiful covers
Wow I definitely just added way too many books to my TBR from this list alone lol. I haven't heard of so many of these so can't wait! Also I did read The Paper Palace and was very mixed about it, can't wait to see what you think!
Remote Sympathy, The Sentence and The Book of Form and Emptiness are the top ones I would read. Will be on the lookout in my nearest bookstores! :D
OMG I'm from TRINIDAD! and truthfully have never read a book set here. I may join you in that read 💃🏻
Great video, like always Jack!
i like it when the names of the characters are in the blurb! then you can go back to it when you forgot about which role a character has :)
"I would replace my own spine with that" Jack 😭
Thanks for the video! Also Jack, as someone from Spain, your pronunciation of latino/spanish.. ishnames is improving a lot!
I would absolutely love if you did a video reviewing the short list!
Some of these books sound so good!!!
OMG, a book based in my country Trinidad and Tobago!!! I need to read this, thank you
These books sound great! I’m probably going to buy so many of these even though I have so many books I haven’t read yet lol!
Definitely adding some of these to my tbr
Another vdo.. it's like third in the day.. thnks Jack for the awesome content u create..😊
My book club read The Paper Palace recently. I almost quit after 30 pages, but I’m so glad I didn’t! It gave us a lot to discuss and it was interesting to see who thought the ending was open to interpretation. We actually had to do some research to see what the author intended.
Jack has LITERALLY entered Paradise. Ngl we’d react the same way too!
14:41 I started this but never got round to picking it up again, was suddenly reminded it’s still sitting on my shelf waiting to be finished 😂 It was a bit hard to get into, it’s very idk ‘meta’ and odd haha
JACK IS FEEDING US
Just "finished" procrastinating a paper due at midnight with the video on your other channel. Might as well watch this one too :3
I loved Opal and Nev and I am really excited for the Ruth Ozeki!
Great Circle grabs my attention!
The two I put on my TBR are This One Sky Day and Build Your House Around My Body.
Jack this is overload of content I'm surely loving it❤ But I have to submit 2 assignments tmrw which i haven't even started and it's already 11 in the night😢
Anyhow sending u lots of love❤❤❤
good luck on your assignments! i believe you can do it (:
SIR IS THIS A SPECIAL OCCASION? SO MUCH CONTENT ALL IN ONE DAY??
TWO VIDEOS IN ONE DAY?! YESSS
Here’s a fun video idea.. going on good reads and scrolling and then whatever book you land on you read. (Of course no including previously read books)
The Paper Palace blurb reminded me of Atonement
The ghost book intrigued me.📖👻
