Took me halfway through the video to remember that’s your mom and NOT your 25-year old friend?? Oh my goodness, she has such a young, adorable spirit to her! I love it! 💛
If anyone is going to Dublin I would HIGHLY recommend going to Marshes library, just behind st Patrick's cathedral. It's one of the oldest private libraries in Ireland, so beautiful, the staff are really well informed. It gives similar vibes (just on a smaller scale) to the trinity library, but the entrance is very cheap (unlike trinity 😬)
Oh yes i loved that one!! Found it on accident when we were walking through Dublin when they were just closing but they still let us in, the staff was so nice, highly recommend as well
I love how each bookstore has its own style/vibe. I really hope to go to Dublin someday. Also I just want to say thank you so much for the videos. I love discovering more about literature and seeing glimpses of different places through your travels. Your videos are always a good time :)
Jack, your mum is just the cutest! 🥺 Looks like the perfect day out to me, 50 book shops, sushi, cake and Guinness? Absolutely! Great video, thanks for taking us with you while you make some fantastic memories 🙌
Hodges Figgis is my absolute favourite, I love it so much! This made me appreciate Dublin even more, it’s always cool to see your city through a tourist’s eyes. Looking forward to seeing what books you got 📖📚
THE SECRET BOOKSTORE!!! :D I camp in there daily when I can, I love it so much! I so appreciate the time you took to experience all our amazing independent bookshops in Dublin!
This makes me smile because I visit the same spots every time I go to Dublin. I went there last June and every bookstore I visited is featured in the video😂 A couple of recs in case anyone is interested: the Museum of Irish Literature (right next to St Stephen’s Green in the building where Joyce studied) and Bloomsday, the annual festival devoted to Ulysses where people wear fancy Edwardian clothes, read the novel out loud and have the time of their lives.
Wow!!! Our family is going to Ireland this summer. You just made our time in Dublin SO MUCH better! I am not sure that I can get to all these bookstores, but I can certainly try. Thanks, Jack!!
the only book shop I managed to stumble upon while I was in Dublin was the last book shop! the name intrigued me as it reminded me of the last book store in LA and wow. the labyrinth of books that greeted me was like out of a storybook. I ended up getting the miniaturist for 5 euros and its one of my favorite memories. I'm so happy you were able to experience it as well!
omg, your video brought me a sense of comfort I desperately needed. I love bookstores and seeing all of these beautiful ones in Dublin was amazing, so thank you for bringing us along
This was super lovely, thank you for taking us with you on this trip. It looked like a perfect day! Also, such a good vibes, pure joy from your side. Enjoy yourself Jack.
the carrot cake at Books Upstairs truly is superior (and I think it's called Books Upstairs because it used to be on the first floor of a building on College Green, before it moved a few years back! they just didn't change the name)
a bit late here but I am an Irish historian and have not been back in a while. This made me so nostalgic!! Also, can attest: the reading room at the NLI is simply beautiful! It's a dream to study there.
Jack! I have a video idea for you! In the series Heartstopper Isaac is always reading something. Maybe you could make a video where you read Isaac's books? Love ya
I’m so glad you went to Books Upstairs bc I used to love popping in there on rainy days and wait for my bus which stopped right outside and it was nice to see it again!
I take my bus from school in front of the last bookshop. It was the biggest surprise as I was watching RUclips and I saw you. I didn’t beliege myself and now I am kicking myself I didn’t say hi!
my god dublin looks stunning, i can't wait to go!! also your mum is such a champ for coming along with you all day lmao mine would have dumped me at the second bookshop we found
When I think about Ireland, the only thing that kindles my mind is the nation's contributions to English literature. Laurence Sterne, Jonathan Swift, Richard Sheridan, G. B. Shaw, W. B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, J. S. Le Fanu, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Seàn O'Casey and Seamus Heaney - just think about the contributions of these men to English as well as world literature. I hope I may visit this country someday. Love and respect, from India.
Last year, I studied abroad in Dublin. I had the best time there and seeing you visiting all the bookstores and places I've been to made me feel really nostalgic. Thank you so much for this lovely vlog🤍
Really loved this vlog and seeing all the cool bookshops! I’ve been wondering-how’s the writing going? I signed up for the email list and loved your first update, but then it went dark, lol. Is that still a thing? 😂
the person who laughed at you vlogging probably wouldn't laugh if they knew that you've got 1M subscribers on your main channel and you've been dressed by valentino at the brits xoxo
This video really hits diff for me because in October I went to Dublin and I tried so hard to find bookstores but for some reason they were all closed😭 Just before I left I was able to visit “The gutter shop” and I literally thought of you! It’s so special seeing you actually going there❤️ By the way I’m a follower of yours from Italy and your videos have helped me sooo much learning English!!!
I'm planning on visiting Dublin sometime and do all things literary, which do you think is the best to go to, the Dublin Book Festival (November) or the International Literature Festival (May)? would appreciate any help :) ty!!
fun fact about chatpers: it was closed for a few months due to costs and before it reopened there was plans to turn it into a gym! swapping samuel beckett for samuel bench-it
have i just discovered more bookshops from this video than from almost a year that i myself have spent in dublin? absolutely but tbf even the few ones that i went to a couple of times, like ulysses or books upstairs were stunning irl!
Dublin person here - your entriely accurate description/ thoughts about the Spire (giant knitting needle) are what every Dubliner thinks when they see it. Also loved all the book shops I didn't even know half of these existed!!! I know what I'm doing one weekend !!
Hee hee this video made me so happy! I live really close to the city and seeing you there, going to so many of my favourite places even going to where I did my work experience is so thrilling especially watching you be a silly lil tourist. Oh and we all call the giant knitting needle "the stilleto from the ghetto" :))
hodges figgis was actually mentioned in normal people! i went to dublin last year and i went to the exact same bookshops as you! i miss that city so much, can't wait to go back
This was such a tour down memory lane. I stayed in Dublin for a month in 2016, and I remembered being amazed by the number of libraries and the amazing cheap options. I had such a good experience that Dublin will always stay close to my heart💙💙
Saw you speak at Trinity and you were absolutely amazing, very well deserved :) Loved the video too you have added many stops to my must visit list haha
Books upstairs actually used to be in a different location, it was on the first floor of the building so hence the name books upstairs although the books are downstairs in the new one!!
Here in the US the ground floor is what we call the first floor. I worked where there was a "Studio Downstairs" but it had moved so it wasn't downstairs from anything. It all makes me smile ;)
Last time I was in Dublin I did a bookstore day and I'm pretty sure you hit all the ones I did (and many more)! Thanks for the nostalgia trip, always lovely to see my pretty city :')
I so enjoyed that! I used to live near Dublin (Dunsany- yes, the writer’s castle) and went straight to Hodges Figgis every time. Did you see The Book of Kells? SOoo beautiful. I really miss Dublin, and the Guinness. I bet you had a great time. Thank you again.
We are going to Ireland with my family in May 2024. My parents are from there and my cousins still live there. My Dad was from Kerry and Mom was from Aran Isles where my cousins still live.
You just reminded me I am due a trip to Hodges, and Chapters when I home next. When left with time to kill, I just go and spend time in Hodges, taking notes of all the books I want to read at some point. And Chapters, always the best music section in Dublin and affordable prizes, with an amazing second hand shop upstairs. Also buying books in euros is heartbreaking, €20 does not = £20 of paperbacks.
Well done Jack. You covered all the good bookshops. I live near The Last Bookshop and it does have everything. I visit it it almost every other day and l bestow there the books I cannot fit. Congrats on your honour at The Phil and come back soon…
That was a real delight for me. I was in Dublin in 2013 and went to pretty much every you did, but didn't get inside the National Library, and they probably didn't have that cool Lego library back then anyway.... will have to stage a return.
there really is nothing more beautiful in this world than stacks of used books almost toppling over just waiting to be bought
*/read hehehe :P
Interfseting.
Took me halfway through the video to remember that’s your mom and NOT your 25-year old friend?? Oh my goodness, she has such a young, adorable spirit to her! I love it! 💛
14:29 Me pretending I can't tolerate alcohol because I'm in front of my mom lol
Lol I’ve met her in person and honest to god thought she was his sister at first
@@antonhur887 I believe it, I do!
If anyone is going to Dublin I would HIGHLY recommend going to Marshes library, just behind st Patrick's cathedral. It's one of the oldest private libraries in Ireland, so beautiful, the staff are really well informed.

i went yesterday and i 100% agree! its beautiful!
Thanks for this tip!
I always call the Spire “the big pointy thingy” but now I much prefer “a giant knitting needle”. I’ll remember that when I walk by it
This made me appreciate Dublin more and gave me some new ideas to do in it because as this point I was getting sick of it 😂
I'm in love with your city
I love how each bookstore has its own style/vibe. I really hope to go to Dublin someday. Also I just want to say thank you so much for the videos. I love discovering more about literature and seeing glimpses of different places through your travels. Your videos are always a good time :)
Me too! I'm going to Dublin in a few years, but I want it to be today!!!
Jack, your mum is just the cutest! 🥺 Looks like the perfect day out to me, 50 book shops, sushi, cake and Guinness? Absolutely! Great video, thanks for taking us with you while you make some fantastic memories 🙌
As a Dublin native I can confirm you left no bookstoNe unturned. Lovely tour
Hodges Figgis is my absolute favourite, I love it so much! This made me appreciate Dublin even more, it’s always cool to see your city through a tourist’s eyes. Looking forward to seeing what books you got 📖📚
same!

Seeing Jack in Book Upstairs is so cool, it's my favourite place in the city!
Wow!!! Our family is going to Ireland this summer. You just made our time in Dublin SO MUCH better! I am not sure that I can get to all these bookstores, but I can certainly try. Thanks, Jack!!
I so enjoyed seeing all of the fab bookstores in Dublin! It looks like a wonderful trip. Your mom is simply adorable!❤ Congratulations on your award!
Me walking around town the other day: "that lad looks a lot like Jack Edwards… nah there’s no way"
To say I feel stupid😐😐
the only book shop I managed to stumble upon while I was in Dublin was the last book shop! the name intrigued me as it reminded me of the last book store in LA and wow. the labyrinth of books that greeted me was like out of a storybook. I ended up getting the miniaturist for 5 euros and its one of my favorite memories. I'm so happy you were able to experience it as well!
I am absolutely so proud of you Jack you deserve it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
omg, your video brought me a sense of comfort I desperately needed. I love bookstores and seeing all of these beautiful ones in Dublin was amazing, so thank you for bringing us along
Is it sad that the only books I recognized throughout the entire video were the ones from the booktok section?
yes, it is sad
This was super lovely, thank you for taking us with you on this trip. It looked like a perfect day! Also, such a good vibes, pure joy from your side. Enjoy yourself Jack.
Good to see Jack found himself magnetically attracted to the biggest easons
The giant knitting needle, best description of the spire I've heard 😂😂
the carrot cake at Books Upstairs truly is superior (and I think it's called Books Upstairs because it used to be on the first floor of a building on College Green, before it moved a few years back! they just didn't change the name)
Dublin - the most walkable city! Love all these bookstores.. Chapters is my favourite!
a bit late here but I am an Irish historian and have not been back in a while. This made me so nostalgic!! Also, can attest: the reading room at the NLI is simply beautiful! It's a dream to study there.
Go to Portugal, they have the most amazing bookstores ❤
Seeing you visit places in Dublin that I've visited feels like a crossover episode I love it
Not me being from Dublin my whole life and not knowing half of these places 😂😂 I will be having an adventure
You should do more reading vlogs and reviews cause all the books I seee are just you buying them😭😭
I love tourist Jack
Jack! I have a video idea for you! In the series Heartstopper Isaac is always reading something. Maybe you could make a video where you read Isaac's books?
Love ya
it’s so weird seeing literally all the places i go to so regularly in a jack edwards video
I’m so glad you went to Books Upstairs bc I used to love popping in there on rainy days and wait for my bus which stopped right outside and it was nice to see it again!
I take my bus from school in front of the last bookshop. It was the biggest surprise as I was watching RUclips and I saw you. I didn’t beliege myself and now I am kicking myself I didn’t say hi!

Day 12 of asking you to read Ballad for George Henig by Viktor Paskov
This is so perfect! My friend and i are planning an Ireland trip for this summer 😊😊
Ah you visited my recommendations! Great shots of my fav spots 😊
Dublin person here - your entriely accurate description/ thoughts about the Spire (giant knitting needle) are what every Dubliner thinks when they see it. Also loved all the book shops I didn't even know half of these existed!!! I know what I'm doing one weekend !!
Ah so many of my favorite spots in Dublin! I've definitely included a few of these bookshops in my Dublin vlogs over the years.
I just moved to London from Dublin at the start of the year and Im surprised by how homesick this made me 😅
Hee hee this video made me so happy! I live really close to the city and seeing you there, going to so many of my favourite places even going to where I did my work experience is so thrilling especially watching you be a silly lil tourist. Oh and we all call the giant knitting needle "the stilleto from the ghetto" :))
Jack, can your mum be in every video, at least have her posing in the thumbnail 😂😂
Doing a summer internship in Dublin and this video is making me so excited
hodges figgis was actually mentioned in normal people!
i went to dublin last year and i went to the exact same bookshops as you! i miss that city so much, can't wait to go back
My town doesn’t have any bookstores so having the ability to see this many in a day would mean the world to me
Remarkable library so beautiful 😊
OMG I thought the same thing, I looked a day for Temple Bar not knowing it was an area of bars 😂😂😂
This along with London i hope to be in sometime next year, amen!
The Molly Mae statue 😂 Tommy!! 🤣 iykyk
What's the background song?
I love Dublin such a beautiful city!
Love that little chuckle that you give at the end of every single clip😃
More of a giggle 😂
Ah I love this. I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland, and going to see all these book stores looks amazing. Lovely video :)
Next a literary tour of Oxford, please.
This is where you need to live and study next Jack. You looked so comfortable and at home. X
This was such a tour down memory lane. I stayed in Dublin for a month in 2016, and I remembered being amazed by the number of libraries and the amazing cheap options. I had such a good experience that Dublin will always stay close to my heart💙💙
I’m ill at home today and seeing this upload really brightened my day! Thank you Jack!
11:08 "now people just have vape pens" lmfaooo

Kudos just for the caption so so catchy and video stellar as always
Ahhh I’m going to Dublin in a month so excited!!!
WAS THAT THE DUBLIN SPIRE??

YOU CAN SAVE LOCATIONS. PAUSE.
Saw you speak at Trinity and you were absolutely amazing, very well deserved :) Loved the video too you have added many stops to my must visit list haha
Bro plz can you help me i will go to ireland,but i cannot process
Sorry need a visa or someone to sponsor you

there’s a secondhand section and cafe upstairs!
Your mum must have been a baby when she had you as she looks so young! 😊
Never had the urge to go to Dublin. Now I do.
Loved this video. Dublin looks beautiful.
Last time I was in Dublin I did a bookstore day and I'm pretty sure you hit all the ones I did (and many more)! Thanks for the nostalgia trip, always lovely to see my pretty city :')

So glad you loved Hodge Figgis. From Dublin and can honestly say it will always be my favourite bookshop.
