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
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 🙌
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 :)
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!
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!!
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.
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.
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🤍
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!
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 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!
Going to Dublin in May and had some of these already stared on my google maps (Books Upstairs, Winding Stair Bookshop and Ulysses) but I am so glad you showed me more to add to my list! Even more excited now!
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.
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!!!
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
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 !!
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 :')
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" :))
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.
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
giant knitting needle!!!! can’t wait to steal that bahahaha, so glad you liked books upstairs and so jealous you got to go to the cafe, it’s always totally full when i go
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)
I went to Dublin for the first time (and also tried Guinness for the first time too) last month so this is perfect timing to relive the trip :) beautiful 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.
If you like old books, I think you should have a look at the exhibitions at the national library in London. We saw some fantastic things when we were there last summer ! I would also recommend the Bodmer's Foundation museum, but that's in Geneva (Switzerland)...
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.
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? 😂
I am headed to London next week and I am 100% going to copy your idea of flagging all the bookstores I want to go to and then making a little walk out of all of them 💚 Daunt Books is high on the list
I take my bus from school in front of the last bookshop. It was the biggest surprise as I was watching TH-cam and I saw you. I didn’t beliege myself and now I am kicking myself I didn’t say hi!
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!
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.
I paid for an online tour on Amazon because it was deeply discounted and I got really sick during the pandemic and they cancelled it this was the next best thing thank you
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
As a Dublin native I can confirm you left no bookstoNe unturned. Lovely tour
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
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 🙌

Me too! I'm going to Dublin in a few years, but I want it to be today!!!
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 📖📚

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!
Seeing you visit places in Dublin that I've visited feels like a crossover episode I love it
I’m ill at home today and seeing this upload really brightened my day! Thank you Jack!
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🤍
I am absolutely so proud of you Jack you deserve it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

So happy to see a new addition to the Dublin Vlogs! Such fun 👏🏽
Love that little chuckle that you give at the end of every single clip😃
More of a giggle 😂

The giant knitting needle, best description of the spire I've heard 😂😂
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.
seeing you in places i go to all the time is so strange lmao so glad you enjoyed dublin !!!
Ah you visited my recommendations! Great shots of my fav spots 😊
Jack always being a winner 🤍
Kudos just for the caption so so catchy and video stellar as always
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.

it’s so weird seeing literally all the places i go to so regularly in a jack edwards video
Literally will be in Dublin on Sunday! so sad to be missing you and will definitely be super nerdy in dublin
Hee hee this video made me so happy!

You did Dublin proud with that video. Thank you. Really glad you enjoyed your time here and congrats on your award 👏
He did :)

so cool that you're in dublin, wish i could have seen you there! all the bookshops look wonderful, have to go into them sometime :)
Ahh yeah I have the day to myself today in Dublin and you've defo inspired me to have my own nerdy book day :D
So happy you had a good time in Dublin! You're making me want to go back home lol
Thanks for the tour. It makes me want to go to Dublin even more.
-from Arizona where nothing is over 100 years old.
My town doesn’t have any bookstores so having the ability to see this many in a day would mean the world to me
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.
Remarkable library so beautiful 😊
Dublin - the most walkable city! Love all these bookstores.. Chapters is my favourite!
I haven't been home in 5 years, this made me miss it so much
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
giant knitting needle!!!! can’t wait to steal that bahahaha, so glad you liked books upstairs and so jealous you got to go to the cafe, it’s always totally full when i go
Ahhh I’m going to Dublin in a month so excited!!!
SO EXCITED! ❤
so fun, makes me want to go on a bookshop tour in my own city
yessss more vlogs please!!
Loved this video. Dublin looks beautiful.
Doing a summer internship in Dublin and this video is making me so excited
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)
That Google Maps tip is great! I'm gonna have to do that. Thanks for this video, Dublin looks so beautiful!
This was amazing!! I’m going to Dublin next month and have been wondering what bookstores to visit👀
I love Dublin such a beautiful city!
Jack is such a comforting person to watch (:
I went to Dublin for the first time (and also tried Guinness for the first time too) last month so this is perfect timing to relive the trip :) beautiful city
This along with London i hope to be in sometime next year, amen!
This is where you need to live and study next Jack. You looked so comfortable and at home. X
I just moved to London from Dublin at the start of the year and Im surprised by how homesick this made me 😅
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😐😐
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.
Not me being from Dublin my whole life and not knowing half of these places 😂😂 I will be having an adventure
If you like old books, I think you should have a look at the exhibitions at the national library in London. We saw some fantastic things when we were there last summer ! I would also recommend the Bodmer's Foundation museum, but that's in Geneva (Switzerland)...

OMG I thought the same thing, I looked a day for Temple Bar not knowing it was an area of bars 😂😂😂
Is it sad that the only books I recognized throughout the entire video were the ones from the booktok section?
yes, it is sad
I MISSED YOU BEING IN DUBLIN I WAS BOOK SHOPPING LITERALLY 3 DAYS AGO
So glad you loved Hodge Figgis. From Dublin and can honestly say it will always be my favourite bookshop.
Never had the urge to go to Dublin. Now I do.
Go to Portugal, they have the most amazing bookstores ❤
I am headed to London next week and I am 100% going to copy your idea of flagging all the bookstores I want to go to and then making a little walk out of all of them 💚 Daunt Books is high on the list
I may have done this in London a few years ago. Words on the Water near the British library was one of my favourites for originality
coziest 15 minutes !
Avoiding easons is such a slay of you Jack fjdkskks
I take my bus from school in front of the last bookshop. It was the biggest surprise as I was watching TH-cam and I saw you. I didn’t beliege myself and now I am kicking myself I didn’t say hi!
You were also living Conversations with Friends since they go to Hodges Figgs a lot!
I love tourist Jack
Now I just really want Jack to come to all the places I know and go to my favourite bookshops.
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!
Great vlog!!
Had to be Chapters. As someone who lived on the Northside while at Trinity, it has my heart.
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.

so cute that you brought your mom
I paid for an online tour on Amazon because it was deeply discounted and I got really sick during the pandemic and they cancelled it this was the next best thing thank you
