I suddenly want to exchange books with my non-existent boyfriend
Such direct station season later have started concert in hardly station afterwards initiate brain is Sarah one Sarawak peep I'll do it I'll walk over cock did this job for each go if this was in go in in Devin do do not understand
So you live in germany bc then we maybe can exchange books
😂 😂
Same lol😂😂
I have no friends or even girlfriend, Pity me
bold of you to assume that i’m in a relationship, let alone a long distance one
for real :') not even a friend who'd do this with me LMAO
Every like of @katieR s comment equals the singles in this section of the internet
I almost laughed then I remembered I'm the same
lmaooo same :(
We're all in this together!!
my boyfriend has read one book in his life and it took him 1,5 years so idk if this is for us
omg hahaha
😂😂😂
I feel you hahahaha
Omg same 😆🙈
and it was the very hungry caterpillar
I think this calls for a ‘reading all the books my girlfriend bought me in a week’
@@Alex-wl9xw it has to happen
He can finish it in 24 hours man
Yeesss I would love to see that video
omg yes
YES! Jack definitely needs to do that!
not to sound cheesy but every time Jack looks at Sammy he gets a sparkle in his eyes 🥺 you guys are so cute 🥰
I tweeted about that, he's so in love and it's adorable
@@annah1289 he really is, it’s so adorable ahh hope everyone finds a person like that in their life 🥰
True true hes a cutie and shes a sweetie
I could've sworn I watched a video where she showed his husband... I'm so confused! lol. but yeah, they are cute
@@DryBooks lol I think it was his housemate because I watched a video as well and I understood husband at first hahahahaha
As if my expectations for men weren't already high enough before I saw this.
THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT WHEN I READ THE TITLE!!!
sharing interests and caring enough to know what ur partner likes isnt even that high of an expectation, but these boys have the bar so low 😭😂
Me in the first few minutes of the video
I’m noticing a lot of people saying that would love to exchange books but they don’t have a girlfriend/boyfriend and I was thinking that maybe these people could get in touch and exchange books between them! It could be a cute community thing
Yes please!!
I agree with this!!
yes i'd love to do that
yes omg
yes we should make a google classroom
FINE now I want a boyfriend who reads and buys me tons of books on valentines day
ikrrr can you imagine that😭
I'd take a stack of second-hand books over a Michael Kors bag any day.
micheal kors who?? haha me too i’d much rather books than any branded item
um idk i'd resell that bag and get an ipad pro 😂
You could get a lot of secondhand books with the money from a fancy bag!
As you should, because Michael Kors is absolute trash. At least aim for a Marc Jacobs tote
@@florriefightingale5161 you could get even more on an iPad for way less money and be eco friendly
Hey Jack seeing as your girlfriend got you some world literature how about an ‘around the world in 80 books’ challenge? Choose 80 countries that you find interesting and pick a book from each to read. Think it would make for a cool video
Great idea 😍
Or ‘around the world in 8 days’ seems more feasible ;)
could make it a series
Loveeee
That sounds like a great idea! Although 80 sounds like a lot. Maybe 10? Or 18 depending on the timeframe
“I think that a lot of you are struggling with long distant relationships too” I feel very mocked. Imagine being in a relationship with someone who isn’t a fictional character? Can’t relate 😔
Edit: Oh my lord I want someone who will be me “The Song of Achilles”. I want to read it so bad, I am ready to cry
Hah that book ruined me
But so worth it
i love that book with my whole heart
why don’t you get it from the library?
The best book I’ve ever read!!
UGH THEY ARE SO CUTE PROTECT THEM AT ALL COSTS
Yessssss
I want to be Jack in my next life, his personality is actually golden
love how jack mentioned "significant other" instead of leaving it at boyfriend/girlfriend. I stan an inclusive king 😤❤️
Loool shush
But he says girlfriend in the title...
@@inter_esting because it's his girlfriend?
@@snava2106 Why are you questioning that?
Wtf even lol? Is she not his girlfriend? And he does calls her his gf.
This is such a cute idea wether it’s long distance or not new books are always exciting to open.
First: Your girlfriend has a BEAUTIFUL voice.
Second: It's adorable how you look at her especially compared to the way you look at us.
BAHAHAHA the last part made me wheeze 😂😂
So you're telling me he has been straight all this time? The cheek, the nerve, the gall, the audacity and the gumption...
Same thoughts
im glad im not the only one LMAO
He is bisexual , So CMIIW
@@courageux430 did he state this?
@@sharmanveraj3281 ya did he?
this video felt so cozy and cute, I mean it felt a bit like thirdwheeling ngl, but in a nice way, like I was having a chat with some of my best friends 🤣 loved it
The fact that you got her a copy of the song of Achilles 🥺🤍
It’s almost like he’s dropping hints
@@benswindlehurst1857 what hint??
@@fionamcgregor5687 That he likes a bit chrome in the kitchen
The only thing I'm in a long distance relationship with is my ability to write. Sincerely a drama student currently unable to write a script worth performing. (I'm crying inside)
I’ve just started a script! but I could do with some help with getting it performed if that interests you 💛😂
Relatable from a fellow drama student
"I don't like to fat shame, but it feels a bit chunky." was hilarious when set in the context of a large book lol
This video melted my heart! I find that sharing books is one of the most intimate and romantic things to do. It's nice to discover this side of Jack. Sam seems like the sweetest and kindest person. I am glad that such amazing people found each other!
this is such a good idea whether you're doing this with a partner, friend, sibling, etc., I think you can learn a lot about a person by doing this!!
totally agree!
IF MY MAN DOESNT LOOK AT ME LIKE JACK LOOKS AT SAMMY, THEM IMMA DUMP HIMMMM STRAIGHT AWAY😭😭😭❤️❤️
Anyone who says this is lame is just wrong - my boyfriend and I are doing the whole long distance thing too (thanks rona for making long distance 1000 times harder) and if he isn't instantly up for doing this then I'll be majorly disappointed 🙃😂
so was he down
It's fun, I've done it for a year and totally amazing. Reading together is funfun
i want a girlfriend to send books
Same
same ☹️
Ocean bygone
same man
This is such an adorable idea, I want to do this! What I'm missing: A boyfriend and the willingness to commit to call certain books my favourites.
Also is it just me or is anyone else nervous when recommending a book?
Oh boy do I get nevervous because I want that person to like the book I recommended and not feel like they wasted their time. I feel you
I always get nervous recommending books too, it's always like "gee I hope they'll like this or they'll think my taste is trashy" lol
Dude I get nervous too. I always think I hype it up too much and they’ll end up being disappointed
Yesss!! Jajaja, specially when they say that reading is boring. __. Jaja but maybe they just haven't found the right book yet :D, I hope :'D
Oh me with the boyfriend part 😂
No one here would ever think this was lame or anything close, like we all love books and honestly, if I had a partner this would be the best thing. This was just adorable ❤️❤️ oh and I’m Ethiopia and would love to hear your thoughts on ”Cutting for stone”
I love Cutting for stone, I've read it two years ago and I still think about it. One of my favorite books!
Jack and his girlfriend are so cute, I can only wish to find someone who'd exchange books with me like this *sighs*
I love that part, "Couples with matching bookmarks stay together, that's what they say!"I love that lol!
'The Vanishing Half' by Britt Bennett is a retelling of 'Passing' by Nella Larson 😁
“Just call us Justin Timberlake ‘cause we’re both... NSYNC” I had to pause the video just to laugh at that 🤣
Haven't seen my bf in 4 months after living together and the struggle is just yeah. Thanks for this, it made our distance feel understood
I found this so cute .having someone with whom you can have a genuine conversation about books .
not me buying every book matty healy recommended because our relationship is sadly onesided sigh
THIS IS ME
@@ayeshasiddiquee4897 i bought “infinite jest” cuz it’s what inspired sincerity is scary and the book is bigger than a dictionary
@@rachelmay674 i am currently reading on the road because matty quoted it in a change of heart
literally got into truman capote because of him bye
This took my relationship goals to a next level
What a lovely idea. I think anything that brings us all joy is a treat. And this was a treat to watch. I got my husband to pick my books for a week the other week, as were in the same house but I’m shielding, so it was something fun we could do two metres apart. Loved how you’d thought about the books for each other and the joy you both had opening them. Fab selections too. Lovely stuff.
OMG cuties!! You guys just raised the standard for valentine's presents!!! AND BOY, I FEEL SO SO SINGLE RIGHT NOW
this is honestly the most wholesome video i've watched in a long time
at 2:24 his pupils were super dilated from just listening to his gf talk😭😭 guys this is TOO much
Jack be showering us with creative, bookish content.📚✨✨
for valentine's day my boyfriend got me the box set of 30 of the paperback penguin english library classics. yes i love him forever and always.
please could you give me a list? just that I think I had that myself when I was a child and then passed them on, and I regret it. trying to find all the ebooks but I can't remember the whole list. If you wouldn't mind, I'd really really appreciate it, please and thank you
This is great! My husband and have been going to dinner and then the bookstore and each picking g a book for the other for the last 20 years!
you are singlehandedly getting me through this pandemic
It’s the way he looks at her with softness and love for me 😍
‘Passing’ is incredible!! I’m writing on it for my PhD (at Durham!)
I heard that the vanishing half is a somewhat retelling of passing which was my initial thought when she bought it for you since you loved the vanishing half 😅
Well, looks like I'm finally ordering a copy of The Song of Achilles as well.
Edit: did I choose the beautiful Bloomsbury Modern Classics edition? Maybe.
So happy we finally get to meet your wonderful gf. Love the way you look at her 🥺
me and my boyfriend do this as well, which is so fun because he’s not a big reader :) also wondering where do you buy your books from, specifically second hand books?
music magpie is great if you are in the U.K. :)
abebooks is good for secondhand books
world of books is a good one x
where do you buy books for someone that doesn’t like reading? 😂
@@lakedistrictlibrary9391 it’s not that he doesn’t like reading...he just doesn’t read that much, so I make sure to choose fast paced ones which focus on what he really enjoys...fantasy usually :)
omg, once when all of this will be over, we WANT a video with real in person SAMMY PLEASE! ♥ she looks so cute ♥
Hi Jack ! You should read some Gabriel Garcia Marquez for South American world literature if you’re interested - he’s a beautiful author. ❤️
Yesss definitely!
Another great recommendation is Machado de Assis.
On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous is poetry in motion. It's so beautiful. I have an entire album of quotes my favorite is "They say nothing lasts forever but they're just scared it will last longer than they could love it."
oh wow this is such a cute idea, also for very close friends or anyone close really (well except for pets maybe ahahah)
this aged like milk
💀
she is beautiful and so nice! i hope Jack feels comfortable sharing that with us, he mentioned trying to keep this part of his life private
Jack you're the most followed person on Goodreads for February!!!! Congratulations!!
this video calls me single in 50 languages
I really enjoyed the format of this honestly. Good job Jack!😁
Only reading LGBTQ+ books for a week?
if i were you i'd comment this when jack's new video on his main channel comes out bc i don't think he reads the comments on this one
I would absolutely love that!
I think he is bisexual (Jack) , i don't like some LGBT books because there is much of sexual behavior . Im bisexual maybe , but i like Cool things.
@@uzumakikemaki7530 A Little Life is a LGBT book that is good and not sexual...well in a way. I also like Maurice.
OKAY. Everything about this is adorable. perfect gift idea, perfect couple, PERFECT hauls. Wish my partner was more of a reader so we could do this too :D
Teleparty extension!!! won't need to press 'play' at the same time!
Such wholesome content! Also, Sammy has such a pretty voice/accent! ❤
There is so much incredible South American literature it would be amazing to do a video about that on the main channel!!
Girlfriend, “I got my notebook.” Jack: falls in love even more 🥰
Oh how cute, loved this video. This kinda gives me Arthur and Molly Weasley vibes. Hahah ❤
lmao opening parcels is the highlight of my day ngl
"boyfriend of the year" i mean i would not argue otherwise
not me getting really excited because i read three of these books in the past month, oh my word.
you are couple goals.
What extremely wholesome content ☺️ welcome to the channel Sammy! 💕
not me beaming the entire time at how cute you two are!
my boyfriend and i do the same kind of thing and its so sweet! like the initial opening is fun but its also a whole experience to read them and then come back and give our thoughts to eachother:)
I highly recommend On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous - amazing book, touched my heart
this is such a lovely and heartwarming idea!!! (and a wonderful source of book recommendations for my ever-growing TBR, so thank you for that!) i was very excited when i saw you open passing by nella larsen -- i read it last semester for my degree in a course about the genre of the urban gothic (as we extended our attention to the ways in which authors after the 19th century, especially authors of color, re-imagined tropes and concepts from the genre as reclamation) and i absolutely LOVED it, and i think (i hope!) you'll enjoy it; it definitely seems up your alley!
Oh to have a significant other who loves books as much as you do. Both of you are so lucky!
I'm a little disappointed that you didn't name this channel "Jack and the Book Stack" :/
I absolutley read some parts of this wrong
That's a really wonderful suggestion😇
The Vanishing Half is actually based on Passing by Nella Larsen! Hopefully you'll enjoy it just as much :)
omg! it’s the way his eyes literally glow!
i’m wishing you all the best 💘💘
Have seen couples going to book hauls ... recommending each other books and here you are with this amazing idea of picking books for each other.
This is probably literal relationship goals for me if I were ever to get a significant other.
This is the sweetest idea, I'm struggling with this too and think this is a lovely idea thank you x
I didn't know bookmarks were such a treasured item, here in Brazil they give you one when you buy the book!
Your girlfriend seems so nice and amazing!
Really appreciate this. ❤️ I haven't hugged my boyfriend in 91 days, and before that we went 5 months without seeing each other. I miss him so much every day lol
Did she say “please make sure it’s in English because I was so toasted” hahahahaha
I've been watching so many Jack videos that I've picked up a habit of making okay sign whenever I'm excited or trying to make a point
Before i watch - waiting for the moment u mention u have an english lit degree 🤣💙
Update: 9:14.. there u go.. 🤣💙
watching this video made me feel so warm somehow, you two are so sweet xx
I’d say this is the content I never knew I needed, but it’s Jack Edwards, and it’s a day for needing
love that he thinks there's nothing going on at the moment. I literally have 3 months of exams to contribute to my A Level grades but... we move
such a shame i'm dating a science major who can't read
Ohh that's such a cute idea! A friend recently sent me a surprise package including a book she picked for me at our favorite bookstore in her town and after watching this, it got me thinking what book I could sent her now.
Literally every book you chose for her is on my tbr!!
it seems that they have broken up now…
Why?
5:50 "Just call us Justin Timberlake cause we are NSYNC"
😂😂😂🥰
cool idea, now i just need a significant other to exchange my books with
waaaait but I thought that...- never mind
Sammy low-key sounds like Diana she's so sweet🥺
long distance date idea: google earth have a feature where you can go into a bunch of museums and art galleries from around the world and 'walk' through them, so facetime and scroll through a bunch of galleries together. there are some really cool ones in south america that i loved!
