@@Oppsieeeeeeexx I am not a writer so I never will, but I am a critic and a beta reader who would love to read it once it's done 💜 Feel free to send it my way 🥰
I honestly wouldn't mind 4 of these videos a year with your thoughts on the books after you've read them. This is a really fun way to discover new books!!
wait but the email / recommendations are written out so sweetly and thoughtfully! I'm considering signing up just because it feels like they put in a lot of effort! 🥺
Ok so I've been blessed with, like, 500 new subs in the past two hours and it turns out you're to thank for that, Jack! You're amazing! (Also, pretty sure we were book shopping in Edinburgh at the exact same time. Weird!)
Omg I’m such a big fan of Books and Bao 😭😭 their recommendations are always spot on especially with the Japanese literature ones ! I would love to see you review Heaven by Mieko Kawakami next, I think they also mentioned this in their favorite books in translation 🤔
Jack read Heaven in February and you can see his rating of it on Goodreads, but I’m not sure if he’s mentioned it in a video yet. Have you read heaven? I’ve been thinking of picking it up and am curious what others think of it 🥰
@@rebecca6535 That’s so cool omg, I hope he gets to review it in his channel :0 I actually haven’t read it yet but I’m going to by the end of this semester since the themes discussed in it are kinda heavy 😅 but based on the reviews alone l think it’s worth a read (only if you don’t mind with topics of severe school bullying and trauma tho)
@@rebecca6535 i read and reviewed it, it's a really intense read that explores philosophy through the story of two teenagers getting bullied. lmk if you do end up reading it :)
near the end of the video it dawned on me that he will now probably cancel it :( PLEASE DON'T Connie's making such an effort u guys have to stay friends
I’d be too scared to try one of these but I think it’s so absolutely lovely that they give you explanations on why they picked certain books and why they recommend them, it’s so nice to think you have someone on another part of the planet excited about your tastes and sharing them and wanting to share their favorites with you
Hooray for libraries~ I know I’ve seen at least one of these in mine. if your library doesn’t have what you want there’s likely interlibrary loan services to try.
I loved Salt Houses, and hope you do too. Though it’s marketed as a novel, I think it’s really more of a series of (profoundly moving) interconnected short stories about a family and how their relationship to Palestine as a homeland changes through the generations. The prose is lush, too.
To me, the second installment of Before The Coffee Gets Cold was even better than the first. So tender and emotional and beautiful-just stunning. I would LOVE to hear what you think of it. Maybe in a translated books video??👁👁
For a main channel video you should ready books that have been adapted into films and compare them to their respective films to see the differences between the two (I.e subplots, tones etc.). This is just a suggestion and I realise how pushy the begin is but I didn’t know how to start it. Love your videos
so ... will we get a review video for these three books👀 btw do they ask about what you think about their previous recommendations or give any follow-up questions? i'm just kinda curious about why the second round of recommendations will be more accurate
I'm gonna guess they sent a follow up or asked him to rate the books they recommended cause the description for one mentioned that he had said he liked and rated Disoriental and Afterparties which were books from the first round of recommendations
There's a spot to add comments to each of the books they recommended, as well as a spot for general feedback. And you can update your survey answers at any time.
I’ve just been watching existential videos about the universe ending and really needed this video to cheer me up again! Thank you to our true Uni-Verse expert!!
It’s nice they actually tried to warn you before giving you the next set of recommendations. Many companies wouldn’t bother to do that. I really like how they take into account all the stories you liked or disliked and worked towards making better recommendations.
i cannot even lie, when you talked about harry's new song i was almost as freaked out as you were when the email mention big windows and parisian streets HOW DO YOU KNOW MY LIFE?
Jack: These recommendations have been scarily accurate to what I want to read. Also Jack - wants to read everything and will read any book he could get his hands on. 😂😂 (For more details, watch the video where he raids the bookshelf of his Airbnb host! 😂)
Somewhere deep down your subconscious said “Don’t cancel the subscription, you need the recommendations!” 🤣 How can you blame him, he has your best interests in mind 😆
love me some personalized book recommendations 🤩 i’m currently working through a 6 month book subscription that’s based on my personal tastes and i’m having so much fun!
I opened yt because I felt THE NEED to watch the new Harry Style's video again, but clicked on your new video instead: you're sentence at the beginning made me feel SEEN 🥶
If you loved Afterparties, have you read Gordo? Exact same location, the California Central Valley, but about two decades earlier and Mexican American immigrants and again short stories, it’s excellent!
FINALLY somebody has gotten your attention to get Tales From The Cafe. I have tried for so long and failed miserably.. Great to see that you put it on your TBR and I'm exited to find out how you like it! :)
you giving a shout out to books and bao is so amazing 😭 they deserve so much love on their channel. anyone interested in translated, women's and queer literature pls pls check them out!!!
Hope you have a fun time in Cambodia! I've been away from home for a long time and with the pace its changing, I can't be completely sure of what or where to recommend but hope you travel safe!
Now this makes much more sense.. cause I saw Jack on two places at once and I was so confused.. like what? He looks like that guy who talks about books that I watch on RUclips who looks very much like him.. and I was so confused 🤣🤣🤣
Ok someone should definitely write a book about a book recommendation service worker and a subscriber falling in love via emails and recommendations 🥺
That would be so cute!
This made me laugh out loud, but I definitely agree!
Hey? Can I try to attempt this idea if you don’t mind? This one line sounds so interesting. ❤️
@@Oppsieeeeeeexx I am not a writer so I never will, but I am a critic and a beta reader who would love to read it once it's done 💜 Feel free to send it my way 🥰
@@knjigoloznica Thank you so much! I'll try my best. ❤️
I saw the title and I realised that Jack being chaotic is exactly what we needed on a Monday 😂
literally
Honestly 😅😅
amen haha
Right💀
Me
don't worry jack, we can all just share a single braincell together
Communist braincell
😅😅
so about 0.00019047619 microns
That's something I would completely expect from me. Totally. We are all idiots Jack. It's okay.
I honestly wouldn't mind 4 of these videos a year with your thoughts on the books after you've read them. This is a really fun way to discover new books!!
Ik he’s the only one who doesn’t give his thoughts after, what a cliffhanger!
Jack: talking abt books
Me: listening
Me: also spends the whole video admiring his dresser behind him
Knowing Jack, im suprised its not full yet, but i saw some books in there on his story, maybe he decided to empty it
Oop nevernind he adressed it later in the video lmao
@@tom_j. 😂
It’s magnificent
wait but the email / recommendations are written out so sweetly and thoughtfully! I'm considering signing up just because it feels like they put in a lot of effort! 🥺
The fact that I've had 'As it was' on repeat.... 😭😂
Me, dealing with a Financial Aberration: “My parents are going to kill me.”
Jack, an Intellectual: “This is going to my ‘Make Content’ file.”
I think it helps that he's spending his own money, not his parents
@@RoxiriOrSokai Either way, death is imminent lmao
i haven’t seen this meme format since so long. appreciate it tho
For those who were considering signing up for this service, I highly recommend it. The recommendations are truly spot on and thoughtful.
I second this. I really enjoyed my recs!!
Ok so I've been blessed with, like, 500 new subs in the past two hours and it turns out you're to thank for that, Jack! You're amazing! (Also, pretty sure we were book shopping in Edinburgh at the exact same time. Weird!)
a Willow and Jack Collab is needed for sure
I feel CALLED OUT by the Harry Styles comment hahaha

@@dashie26 heaven is a really intense read!!! but also a beautiful exploration of philosophical ideas. lmk if you read it!! :)
@@kiranreader I read it and loved it - what philosophical ideas were there?
I love how the $15 subscription feels like too much but having a reason to buy more books is totally welcome 🤣

it's the way i'm not even suprised this happened cuz this is SUCH a jack edwards thing to do
“I just want to level with you here; I’m sooo stupid”
Me trying to explain to my friends and family the sheer capacity of my idiocy
The way I just SILENT SCREAMED at salt houses. Jack I FUCKING LOVE THIS BOOK and no one has heard of it, it made me WEEP
jack wins the award for being the most outstanding youtuber with the most ✨tumultuous✨ energy.
it was indeed hard to pause As It Was but we made it here like going home, getting ahead with light speed internet
I loved Salt Houses, and hope you do too. Though it’s marketed as a novel, I think it’s really more of a series of (profoundly moving) interconnected short stories about a family and how their relationship to Palestine as a homeland changes through the generations. The prose is lush, too.
That was one of my favorite books of the ones I read last year! I'm curious to see what Jack thinks of it.
absolutely love that the ads i got for this video we’re all about services that help cancel forgotten subscriptions
i love that some of the few books you brought to Paris are the entire Heartstopper series. well done. can’t wait for the show to come out next week.
Your videos are post-work stress reliever for me (and during work also).
To me, the second installment of Before The Coffee Gets Cold was even better than the first. So tender and emotional and beautiful-just stunning. I would LOVE to hear what you think of it. Maybe in a translated books video??👁👁

@@jack_edwards I see! That’s really considerate of them
You can go into your account and give feedback on any book. Or send messages. You can change anything up, or ask for a new focus..
“Thank you for taking a break from listening to the new Harry Styles song” 💀
You’re welcome, Jack. I’ve had it on repeat for days 😂
i too would forget to cancel my memberships
"ooooooh you know i love a lyrical novel!!!" jack you are PRECIOUS and HILARIOUS
I LOVED "Salt Houses"!! It was one of my favourite books of last year!
I’ve just been watching existential videos about the universe ending and really needed this video to cheer me up again! Thank you to our true Uni-Verse expert!!

OMG that video was amazing
truly a gift that keeps on giving. the contennnttt is THRIVING.
"you lucky sausage" is the absolute pinnacle of validation thank you
love the parasocial relationship Jack immediately develops with Connie
i did in fact pause the new harry styles song to watch this video
this is a video we never knew we needed but we're here for it
Lmao the title alone exudes the best chaotic energy and we love it
Loving that he brought all 4 heartstopper volumes with him
I started vibrating at the speed of light when I spotted the hearstopper books on the shelf lmao
ok but this is the funniest way a part 2 of this video could've happened
Connie did my recommendations too. She’s great!!!
Somewhere deep down your subconscious said “Don’t cancel the subscription, you need the recommendations!” 🤣 How can you blame him, he has your best interests in mind 😆
I SEE HEARTSTOPPER ON THAT BOOKSHELF
love me some personalized book recommendations 🤩 i’m currently working through a 6 month book subscription that’s based on my personal tastes and i’m having so much fun!
Absolutely dying at the fact that I literally stopped listening to “As it was” to watch this video and then the intro… 😂😂😂
salt houses is soo good!! so glad they recommended you that one so you could read it hehe
"thank you so much for taking a break from listening to the new harry styles song" hit hard
i actually read before the coffee gets cold yesterday bc of you! i found out last night there was a second book and plan to buy it too
Connie's out here doing the Lord's work
These all sound incredible! And I've had Before the Coffee Gets Cold on my TBR for ages, but I had no idea it was part of a series. How cool!
I do not share your tastes Jack, but I love knowing about them ? Also it makes me aware of what gets published outside of my interests.
Dont call me out for listening to harrys song like that
Watching this at 1am in Australia 🇦🇺 Jack's content getting me through my late night uni assignments!
It makes me starry eyed happy that Jack watches Books and Bao
the way i screamed when i saw heartstopper on your shelf omg
Are those the "Heartstopper" volumes??? 🤩
I love how many content we are getting from jack lately
I opened yt because I felt THE NEED to watch the new Harry Style's video again, but clicked on your new video instead: you're sentence at the beginning made me feel SEEN 🥶
“Black Cake” was incredible! I really hope you read it
Salt Houses is such a beautiful novel! One of my favourites, can't wait to hear your thoughts
This video is particularly endearing 😊
Bro just casually drops that he will go to cambodia.
You cant imagine how jealous i am
Oh I read the second installment of before the coffee gets cold, it's lovely!
If you loved Afterparties, have you read Gordo? Exact same location, the California Central Valley, but about two decades earlier and Mexican American immigrants and again short stories, it’s excellent!
FINALLY somebody has gotten your attention to get Tales From The Cafe. I have tried for so long and failed miserably.. Great to see that you put it on your TBR and I'm exited to find out how you like it! :)
I just bought Black Cake last week! Very much enjoy their recommendation letters and you sharing them along with your insights and thoughts on it
Quote of the Day: “So, here’s the thing: I am an idiot.”
Jack Edwards Fans: “BRAND NEW INFORMATION!”
Yes, we love this second channel content. Jack doesn’t even know how good these videos are ❤️
(love from a small RUclipsr)
you're one of the sweetest people I have seen on youtube/tiktok/etc.
Everyone in New York City in my imagination: “I paid another $15, which is not ideal.”
you giving a shout out to books and bao is so amazing 😭 they deserve so much love on their channel. anyone interested in translated, women's and queer literature pls pls check them out!!!
a free version of this is literally going to the library and speaking to a librarian
Lol, forgetting to cancel a subscription sounds like something I'd do too. Good luck with your new book recs!
I am so obssesed with this channel the first thing I check when there's a new video, it's how long it's gonna be. Like the addict I am...
Black Cake is sooo good! I definitely see it being something you’d enjoy. :)
me: paused harry style's new song and turned this video on
Jack: calls me out IMMEDIATELY
Jack’s Website Draft looks awesome! So hot in a suit 🔥
Just read salt houses and i LOVED it!
I loved Before the Coffee gets cold! I will have to read Tales from the Cafe. I didn’t know there was a second. Thanks for posting this!
Omggg- I mean… another video from you is always amazing 🥰
Love this type of content 🧡 also this shade of blue looks STUNNINA on you !!
I’m so happy to hear you’re going to Cambodia! All the best! Take lots of pictures and I hope you have a great time.
Hope you have a fun time in Cambodia! I've been away from home for a long time and with the pace its changing, I can't be completely sure of what or where to recommend but hope you travel safe!
Did I just hear that Jack will be swinging by Cambodia??? Yay! Looking forward you welcoming you in Cambo! 🇰🇭
How fun, I tried TBR after seeing your video and got recommended Salt Houses too !
I gotta admit, I am seriously distracted by Jack's hoodie. Our boy is looking sleek.
You’re welcome, I did in fact stop listening to As it Was to watch this video and will be going back to it as soon as it’s over!
Oh those seem like good suggestions! Thanks for making a second video lol, i always love second parts
This is awesome XD loved the last part, this is gonna be GREAT
haven't seen the video yet but that title already tells me I'm gonna enjoy today's content
Can't believe the day has come and you're finally going to read Love in the Big City. So excited for you!
Oh didn't realise there was a follow up to Before the Coffee Gets Cold - I'll have to get on that soon!
Now this makes much more sense.. cause I saw Jack on two places at once and I was so confused.. like what? He looks like that guy who talks about books that I watch on RUclips who looks very much like him.. and I was so confused 🤣🤣🤣
That's pretty much me with every subscription 🤣
