Great, I need help Not a big reader, but want to be! I'm a homeschooling mom, I have always liked Real Housewives, currently love Below Deck TV show, but reality TV is something I'm growing away from, and am loving reading about the Classical education method. I like American folk and country music/vibe. Am feminine, love food/cooking and like sarcastic humor. Gimme recs please!!!!
I think Virginia Woolf was more ‘A Room of One’s Own’. E.M. Forster was ‘A Room With A View’. Although regardless of who said what, the view is breathtaking.
When I'm financially stable enough in the future i will gonna buy all the books i wanted and read all day. Reading is such a stress reliever and always calms my mind and soul.
I read Conversations on Love as part of a local book club and omg it is the best!! Makes total sense that you want to take your time with it because there is so much to absorb and unpack. So glad you're enjoying it so far and thank you for taking us on holiday with you
i adored happy hour!! i'm usually a "sad girl in a big city" genre kinda reader, but it was a nice change of pace to read a "happy girl in a big city" book. great summer read :)
@@arixannaj omg don't get me started Recently, I loved Celopatra and Frankenstein, and Other People's Clothes. Definitely look at the content warnings before picking up these up haphazardly but goooodness i devoured them.
Lovely vlog. I have My Dark Vanessa on my TBR, still haven't gotten around to it but now it's on my tbr cart instead of my shelves. Hope you had a really good vacay!
If you’re a ‘no plot, just vibes’ reader, you might enjoy the author Amor Towles as well; Rules of Civility is all about a girl making her way through New York society and I loved it, I thought it was so well-written. Gentlemen in Moscow is equally beautiful and quotable. The writing style is slightly reminiscent of Oscar Wilde, in that there is loads of commentary on society in the form of character dialogue, observation, and humor. Also, can I just say that the vacation vibes in this video are immaculate and I’m super jealous 😂 I’m currently camping in the forest with a bunch of my students (I’m an English teacher from the USA in the Czech Republic) and it’s SO cold. Don’t mind me, just daydreaming of lying on the beach in the sunshine to get me through 4° weather 🙃🙃
Not to be a Goodreads stalker, but are you going to discuss Our Wives Under The Sea at some point? I really loved that book and want to hear your thoughts, haha. I hope your move goes well!
Honestly, your content is ✨️chaos and vibes✨️ and I'm here for it 😌 I'm also moving countries soon and I've been prepping for it (just want it to hurry up and happen already 😅)
When I finished reading Happy Hour my thoughts were exactly the same - absolutely is a 5 star, also, my exact taste in literature. This is all the proof I needed to trust any book recommendation you give :D
It's like your camera said "Jack knows what Jack looks like, lets focus on the things behind him that he may not have noticed!" Yes I gave your camera a speaking part :P For some odd reason you made me want to stumble on Pizza Girl. It doesn't look or sound like my type of book at all, which is normally a thriller or crime book but yep if I see Pizza Girl she will be mine!! :P Thanks Jack!!
Conversations on Love is taking me a couple months to read for that reason exactly! feel like I can only read 30/60 pages before I need like a massive break to digest everything.
Kiwi Life Hack: Train yourself to be comfortable eating them like an apple. I know it takes some time getting used to but once it's not weird anymore you can just eat the kiwi by biting off the knobby bit at the end and spitting it out and then just eat the whole kiwi.
Must recommend A Good Year by Polis Loizou A very short book that takes place in 1925 rural Cyprus. Read in one day! Loved the superstitions and bits of Cyprus culture, especially the creepy woodland creatures. Overall fantastic blend of religion, fantasy, and horror.
I thought I was the only one who folds the pages w quotes I like to come back to it later but app it’s pretty common😭 however I don’t underline just re read the whole page to rediscover it and feel the feels again
Omg I got pizza girl in a book box over a year ago and haven’t even thought about picking it up yet but seeing that you liked it… I will definitely read it now
Hey Jack, I’d love it if you could do an updated thoughts on StoryGraph video as I’m honestly amazed by how useful the app is but I also think more could be added. Might be interesting :)
Can you tell me what you liked about this book? It was only 200 pages but i struggeld so hard to finish it and i've seen pretty mixed reviews on this one. ( i dont wanna be rude im just really wanna hear different opinions)
For a second there I thought you paid 10 € for the fruities, and I was like: I’m sorry jack cyprus is stealing from you I though you had already passed the Libras to euros transformation 😂
Ok I have to ask, are you moving to New York?! It’s been bugging me for a while now, but you keep subtly mentioning NYC. I could just be imagining it, but idk🤷🏻♀️ Either way wishing you the best wherever you go and also very jealous of your amazing trip!
as a Cypriot we're happy to have you over! there's this misconception that all English tourists are uh well how do I put it... mischievous? that'll do I guess 💀. Anyway, you're proving them all wrong so !!!! hope you enjoyed your stay
The Island of Missing Trees… did not enjoy! Not for me but everyone’s different, glad you enjoyed it I guess. Hope you didn’t get attacked by any wild cats, when I went to Turkey I was followed by them, they jumped on our tables and we’re actually really annoying no matter how cute they were. Invest in a Kindle for travelling Jack, used to really love mine, my love for it comes and goes, in a go phase rn but it’ll come back I’m sure. Love highlighting bits on it, can’t bring myself to mark a physical book
okay it's so WEIRD how you're reading 'shuggie bain' of all books and I just happen to click on this vlog - my uni just had an event with douglas stuart YESTERDAY where he talked to one of our lecturers about his new book 'Young Mungo'. what are the odds!! he's an incredible speaker and it made me really excited to read his latest - do let us know what you think of 'Shuggie Bain'!
hello jack. as an absolute genius im guessing that you've read ulysses, do you have any tips on how to get through it??? page 15 and feeling like im trying to eat a hot curry here.

I felt the “I terrorise everyone I know with book recs that I think they’ll enjoy.” on a spiritual and metaphysical level. 😂
Metaphysical level? I thought metaphysics was the study of the reality of existence, and such and not PERSONAL RELATIBILITY
I also terrorise everyone with book recs that I know they won’t enjoy.
I keep seeing your comment everywhere on RUclips, i guess we both watch a lot of the same content creators.
Great, I need help

Jack: Here are perfect holiday/late summer reads!
same 😭
I think Virginia Woolf was more ‘A Room of One’s Own’. E.M. Forster was ‘A Room With A View’. Although regardless of who said what, the view is breathtaking.
I was just thinking that 😅
lol you’re right but for jack let’s just say that a room of one’s own also has a view! 😍
oops yes this is very true
the fact that we know this is just another sign of the bookish community we are
@@emmilia2952 😂 true
When I'm financially stable enough in the future i will gonna buy all the books i wanted and read all day. Reading is such a stress reliever and always calms my mind and soul.
As a Cypriot, we are proud to have had you in our country. Hope you enjoyed your stay
what city is that tho
@@sallymacer1571 Jack is in Limassol, which isn’t where I live, but it’s still nice people appreciate your country:)
now i wanna visit cyprus so bad! looks amazing!

What would you say are some good "sad girl in a big city" recs? That sounds like something i'll like :)
@@arixannaj omg don't get me started

@@goingwiththechlo thank youu, Cleopatra and Frankenstein are actually on my tbr
@@arixannaj shut uppp yes read it rn
Taking your mum to Cyprus for her birthday is *lush* 😇 - well done you! Enjoy!✌🏾
Tbh I dont read what you typically read but your voice and your videos are so calm! I love it
6:59 Haribo candies are so good! I’ve never had that specific version, but I’m not surprised you enjoyed it.
Your vlogs always get me going :) There is such a calmness to watching you talk all about books. I felt like I was on a vacation watching you vlog!
3:52 "Gonna leave my phone"
4:02 immediate next shot: *holding phone*
New reading vlog from Jack, week cannot start better! Hope you had a great time :)
British Vogue needs to get in on ‘What’s in Your Bag?’ with Jack Edwards.
I love you Jack! Thank you for making our lives so much more fulfilling by posting great and humorous videos!💜📚
This channel is such a comfort watch for me...I seriously poured myself some tea and curled up in my bed to watch this vlog :))))
Yayyyyy!! Jack in my country, Cyprus!! Happy that you are here! 🍷
Lovely vlog. I have My Dark Vanessa on my TBR, still haven't gotten around to it but now it's on my tbr cart instead of my shelves. Hope you had a really good vacay!

I also dog ear the best quote pages! I need to know where the serotonin lives!!
You Will Not Have My Hate was a beautiful and heartbreaking book, it reminded of me of When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi.
Not to be a Goodreads stalker, but are you going to discuss Our Wives Under The Sea at some point? I really loved that book and want to hear your thoughts, haha. I hope your move goes well!
THANK YOU FOR THE BACK TO BACK VIDEOS, YOU ARE SAVING ME!!!! 😭😭😭😭
I’m so glad you enjoyed Pizza Girl! It’s one of my favorites I read last year
OMG i was literally thinking the 'and the view's pretty good too' right before you said it and burst out laughing
Honestly, your content is ✨️chaos and vibes✨️ and I'm here for it 😌 I'm also moving countries soon and I've been prepping for it (just want it to hurry up and happen already 😅)
What a nice relaxing chill video right before we approach the Fall.
Your vlogs have such an amazing, calm yet humorous vibe to them. KEEP POSTING THEM!
Nice to hear that you’re having a great holiday with your mum, Jack!
There goes my tbr list. Jack, you are making me BROKE and I thank you for it
That clip of the cats just made me explode because it’s too cute. I need to go to Cyprus now.
Jack, these vlogs are literally my life support right now. Thank you!🤗🤗
Love your reading vlogs Jack, please keep them coming 😊💙
What a sweet little video! Loved coming on holiday with you
Happy Hour sounds like it would be exactly my type too. It's at the top of my TBR now!
“… and the view is pretty good too.” I LOL’d so loud.
This made me feel so relaxed ✨️no plot, just vibes✨️
I'm really looking forward to the My dark Vanessa video! I read it recently and it was a 5 star read for me.
What a solid list of books! One of my favourite vlogs in a while
I am going to have to send you some tabs. The folded over pages chilled me to the bone. 😂😂
"A walking library of book recomendations"is the perfect way to describe you cz you give the BEST book recs
You should also visit Greece since we are close to Cyprus!
I love your channel so much 💞

Based on your upsidedown dog ears I think Happy Hour is a must re-read for you Jack!!
virginia woolf said a room of one's own, Jack. 😂
Must recommend A Good Year by Polis Loizou
A very short book that takes place in 1925 rural Cyprus.
Read in one day! Loved the superstitions and bits of Cyprus culture, especially the creepy woodland creatures. Overall fantastic blend of religion, fantasy, and horror.
imo dog ears are better than sticky tabs for annotations. how the pages wear down adds personality to a book, it shows how much the reader enjoyed it.
Great. So now, not only my TBR doubles every time I watch these videos, but now my travelling list also increases. I wanna go to Cyprus.... 🤩
10:00 to 12:00 were so unhinged and hilarious I loved it
I’m so glad u like Pizza Girl. That book surprised me w how much I liked it
1:21 why do i have the feeling that jack held himself from saying ‘see the sea’ xD
Good morning/afternoon/night readers and buyers💞💞💞
I said that because they are different habits reading books and buying books 😂
I thought I was the only one who folds the pages w quotes I like to come back to it later but app it’s pretty common😭 however I don’t underline just re read the whole page to rediscover it and feel the feels again
Omg I got pizza girl in a book box over a year ago and haven’t even thought about picking it up yet but seeing that you liked it… I will definitely read it now
I recommend reading The silent patient, it’s written by a Cypriot writer 😊
I love you Jack thanks so much for everything so proud of you of everything how exciting you are moving Jack another adventure 😊
Gin lemonades and books; what more could anyone want?
5:34 You look very cute with your impeccable eyewear. Also, I think the slight blur adds to the video.
damn, i love these vlogs soooo bad
Also, don’t worry I dog-ear the pages I like in my books too!!
*with love*
you’ve been doing us a disservice for not giving us at least 2 reading, rambly, random, vlogs a month
Who’s surprised by Jack’s avoidant relationship with packing? No one. Next he’s going to say that his camera battery is dying.
Good luck with the big move 👏🏽🎉
I just picked up happy hour! xoxo
Hey Jack, I’d love it if you could do an updated thoughts on StoryGraph video as I’m honestly amazed by how useful the app is but I also think more could be added. Might be interesting :)
i downloaded storygraph because of jack’s video and oh wow i love it so much
HAYY LOVE YOU!!
Pizza girl was my favorite book I read this year! Happy to hear that you enjoyed it too. I’ve been trying to get everyone I know to read it 😭
Can you tell me what you liked about this book? It was only 200 pages but i struggeld so hard to finish it and i've seen pretty mixed reviews on this one. ( i dont wanna be rude im just really wanna hear different opinions)

Hi Jack!! Random thought, but I think you would really like the book Tin Man by Sarah Winman! I just read it and it seems like your vibe
Those are my favorite Haribo treats as well. Plus, they come from my hometown. Hint: the Bo in Haribo stands for Bonn. :D
AHHH PERFECT EVENING ENTERTAINMENT
as a Cypriot we're happy to have you over! there's this misconception that all English tourists are uh well how do I put it... mischievous? that'll do I guess 💀. Anyway, you're proving them all wrong so !!!! hope you enjoyed your stay
Isn't it E. M. Foster who said the room with a view one
Jack, what was your opinion on “The Razor’s Edge” can’t find your review 😅
*A Room with a View - E. M. Forster
woolf was a room of one's own
love your videos
Hi!!!!!! Jack Love Your Channel :0
I haven’t read Happy Hour, but based on your description you may like Tokyo Ueno Station-and it’s a translation.
I liked this book.
The Island of Missing Trees… did not enjoy! Not for me but everyone’s different, glad you enjoyed it I guess. Hope you didn’t get attacked by any wild cats, when I went to Turkey I was followed by them, they jumped on our tables and we’re actually really annoying no matter how cute they were.

Hi hi hiii, do you have to read Lolita before reading My dark Vanessa? 😊
Should I read Lolita BEFORE My Dark Vanessa?
Yes!

14:39 Yes Jack, you do look gorgeous ✨
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
YAY SO EXCITED ❤😊
Jack, not sure why I have not noticed before but you have lovely eyes!

I don’t wanna objectify my man Jack, but OKAAAAYY BODYYYY ODY ODY ODY at 4:10 keep going boi 🎉
I just finished my dark Vanessa 2 days ago and... ugh it's just a story that doesn't leave you
