Hi Jack, subscriber with cerebral palsy here. It's essentially a brain injury that can occur anywhere in the brain, and how bad the injury is and where it occurs in the brain is directly correlated to what it impacts. For me, I have all my cognitive abilities intact, but I cannot walk. This is due to a lack of balance for me personally I have the muscle and I can walk with assistive devices, but as soon as I let go of something I would fall right to the ground lol 😅 cerebral palsy is a massively different experience for everyone because of the different areas of the brain that can be affected. I've seen it impact as little as one arm being tight as in the ligaments and such and therefore pulled in toward the body all the way to a person not being able to speak, feed themselves, or anything. I'm not making fun because it's only by sheer luck that I'm not in a similar position. As it stands I was told when I was little that I would never walk and I recently went back to the same doctors that told me that when I was younger and they say now that there's no way I won't walk it's just a matter of when. But it's taken numerous surgeries, working out, etc. If you'd met me you wouldn't even be able to tell I was in a wheelchair unless I was sitting in it, of course. Been thinking of starting a booktube channel myself because there doesn't seem to be a lot of representation, but it is a little bit nerve-wracking because I don't love being on video. Love your content, though. Blessings to everyone! 🙏🏻💜
I bought The House In The Cerulean Sea because I had already read it but didn’t own it physically and I absolutely loved it so buying a book you already read is 100% Valid
The amazing thing to me about 18 miles of books is how many writers that took. I’ve always enjoyed writing, but can’t imagine writing an entire book. It blows my mind a little thinking about all of the people and all of the lives that are spent doing that. It’s incredible. Kudos to all the writers out there!
I have wanted to go to The Strand for literally almost 10 years and finally had a chance to go before a flight out of NYC last week. Truly heaven on earth. ALSO did some research and discovered that although they still use the “18 miles of books” slogan it’s actually closer to 23 miles now, at least according to Google.
Love the Strand. But, Jack. You need to visit Portland, Oregon while you're in the USA so you can go to Powell's books. It's the world's largest bookstore!
I very much appreciate the ad for a company like incogni. I took a class in college about the surveillance done by data brokers, government, and other entities and it was really very disturbing. Made me feel violated, and definitely made me want to take my information back
I've been to The Strand a couple of times because, before the pandemic, I used to go on long weekend trips to NYC. Just by chance, I am returning to that practice and will be doing a long weekend in NYC next week, and The Strand is on my to-do list since it's been some years since I've been there. Can't wait. Hopefully, I can stop by some other book stores as well.
I was screaming when Jack said he would read ALMOND.....I enjoyed the book personally and have recommended every body.....As a BTS ARMY I am so happy Jack is choosing this book to read...I can't wait to have the review of it from him 😇😇😇😇😇☺☺☺

I would not be able to do anything if I had my desk in front of such a view.

"Almond" is one of the most popular books in Korea. I read it in a day. It was fantastic.

"Oh my gosh, somebody said it ~ my question is, did anyone need to"? 😂😂 Had me dead! No dialogue like Jack's

Thank you for picking up the book about a disabled character! I feel like our experiences with disability hardly get centre stage anywhere

I would love to see a video on books SUGA had read, I discovered your channel because of your RM video! 💜
Love that you mentioned Cari! I watch her videos all the time. You two should make a video together ❤

Very sweet that he reaches out to other creators to ok it with them before making a similar video. Lots of love Jack x

Love the Cari shoutout! The strand is incredible, I bought a used copy of Mama’s Boy there and it became one of my favorite books
the amount of times I've gone there between classes, set a timer for 30 mins just to look around and then have to return to school... my poor wallet
I'm calling this my personal birthday gift from Jack and no one can stop me. Thanks Jack.😊
Stories from the tenants downstairs sounds unusual love that can’t wait to read it 😊
