Imagine just casually buying 10+ books... That's what I call financial freedom
Keep in mind, this is a business expense for him lol
literally
Check out Pango books if you're in the US. I'm sure Britain has an equivalent. Basically people sell their used books and if you sell used books there you can earn enough to buy other peoples.
@@melissabennett4328 Sadly not in the US nor Britain but thank you nevertheless:)
i feel u same same
not Jack unhauling books then IMMEDIATELY receiving a bunch of new books 💀
Me tho
that was my ecact same thought too 😀
"a woman holding fruit" she is holding a bleeding heart Jack
oops
@@jack_in_the_books i laughed so hard when you said that
lmaooo damn beat me to it
Jack gives off such chaotic bookworm energy
HOW ON EARTH COULD YOU DO THAT. If I bought my entire tbr it would be about £1000 or more
I have 500 books on my TBR so mine would be like 10K. No thanks! Lol
DUDE. This won't work for everyone, and it def won't have everything on ur tbr, but if you have access to a library, find their shelf of books they sell (mine was hidden in plain sight, i walked past it day after day and didn't realize until they had a sale that the books were there for us to buy! So def ask your librarian), the books are DIRT CHEAP and you can find some STEALS. Mine sell paperbacks for 50¢ (£0.43) and hardbacks for $1 (£0.86), and have constant sales when they have too many and need to get rid of some (like 10 books for 10¢/£0.086, kind of sale) - I've found _Tipping Point_ by Malcolm Gladwell, _On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous_ by Ocean Vuong, _The Bell Jar_ by Sylvia Plath, etc. they have some actually popular books, and I live in the middle of nowhere haha
Sorry this was so long, I just tell everyone I can bc I've saved sm money and actually gotten some good titles in amazing shape, and want everyone else to have this opportunity 😂
Well he said he thrifts a lot, buys second hand, AND a lot of these are probably business expenses, maybe even sent by publishers, stuff like that. Although I am NOT saying it all wasn't pretty damn expensive, it most likely was. 😅
Same I have +320 books on my tbr and it keeps growing😭
@@zzyzxzzyzx that’s so awesome! My library does a sale a couple times a year, but it’s not a regular thing for them. But at least once a month they put books out front for free :) usually nothing I’m interested in but I got a new copy of The Night Circus for free.
For those who are just looking for the title of the books mentioned, here they are:
1) Slow days fast company - Eve Babitz
2) Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow - Gabrielle Zevin
3) Man's search for meaning - Viktor Frankl
4) The Architecture of Happiness - Alain De Botton
5) Swimming in the dark - Tomasz Jedrowski
6) Acts of Desperation - Megan Nolan
7) Insatiable - Daisy Buchanan
8) Conversations on Love - Natasha Lunn
9) Acts of Service - Lillian Fishman
10) Our Wives Under the Sea - Julia Armfield
11) Book Lovers - Emily Henry
12) The Love Hypothesis - Ali Hazelwood
13) Bunny - Mona Awad
14) A Certain Hunger - Chelsea G. Summers
15) Pizza Girl - Jean Kyoung Frazier
THank you x
Literature is one of the loveliest parts of my life, which unfortunately for the past year almost I've been quite detached from. I've been disappointed with my current uni, the professors (the environment here is just toxic)...and often even feel out of touch with the texts we do in class.
You're one of the biggest reasons why I, despite all the negatives, still continue to remind myself why I love literature so much and why I'm pursuing the degree that I'm pursuing. The moment I'm done reading any book, I rush to your channel to see if there's anything you've said about it. Thank you for your videos. You've been such a comforting presence in my life. Wishing you all the happiness. ❤️
As someone who’s injured their bank account many times for books, I’m happy to know I’m not alone haha
my bank account is dead because of my book buying habits
Injured lol 😂😂
If I bought literally every book on my TBR, I would be financially ruined. I think it's creeping around 500 right now. Thank you MN public library system for being so amazing!
I’m assuming that he stops adding books when he gets to a certain number. Plus he reads like crazy. So he buys his tbr list and then reads it and then adds more
Jack saying the US cover of A Certain Hunger is a woman holding fruit, when it’s literally a human heart, has me rolling for some reason
ooh I recently read Swimming in the Dark and I thought it was such an interesting book! The German title (translated into English) is "One doesn't forget how to swim" and somehow that title is even prettier than Swimming in the Dark. Although I always get it confused with a book called "In water were weightless", which is a *chef`s kiss* of a title
Im Wasser sind wir schwerelos ist "swimmingin the dark"❤️
honestly, your videos really do give me so so much serotonin like your vibes are immaculate!! esp with you being like you're gonna arrange your tbr according to ehat you own and then more books arrive at your door as they should ✨️✨️
I read Swimming in the Dark this summer and it was absolutely amazing !
As someone who loves historical fiction (and studies history), I was very interested in learning more about the Soviet regime in Poland. I also loved the fact that the two main characters have very different point of views on the dictatorship and the different ways in which they both try to survive in such an unfair environment.
This book was an absolute delight as much as it could be heart breaking at times (since it is based on real events) but it’s definitely a must read for me.
(Plus I was very proud to see that the author attended the same university as me, which was quite surprising)
ohh nooo, i’m not ready for that tiktok-video! the love hypothesis is literally my favorite book but i so know you are not going to like it, esp if you don’t like fake dating 😩😩 i’m not ready for my illusion to be shattered
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow was probably my favorite book of the year. I had debating buying it, but then Jimmy Fallon picked it for his book club and the price plummeted on Amazon, so I grabbed it up. (I got the feeling Fallon never read it tho). Bunny was good and bizarre. I’m all in for hidden society/hidden underworlds/down the rabbit hole books. Wasn’t what I I’d expected from the blurb, but still good. BTW, if you do enjoy Tomorrow, you may like Rabbits by Terry Miles.
Swimming in the dark is a gorgeous book, the end still rips me apart!
Swimming in the Dark is wonderful, such a beautiful story. If you haven't read it read Baldwin's Giovanni's Room, you get more from Swimming that way as it's a central motif to the book.
If you liked Call Me By Your Name, you'll love this (also if you do, read Lie with Me by Besson)
Jack has finally admitted to being a Sad Boi. We love to see it 😂
I read Man’s Search for Meaning for your last read along. It’s a rough one because it’s so real and raw. I think it’s an important read.
Swimming In The Dark is beautiful, I loved it. Also loved Book Lovers. I wasn't bowled over my Our Wives Under The Sea but the cover is wonderful.
Bunny was absolutely INCREDIBLE i literally sped through it was like ... insane. you don't even know what's real
acts of desperation is one of my FAVORITE books i’ve read this year. hope you love it!
The way I just cannot wait to hear your thoughts on tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow! One of my favorites this year!
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow was so good, I also really enjoyed the interviews Gabrielle Zevin gave, her whole vibe was so comforting
I am so so so excited that you're going to be reading A Certain Hunger and Pizza Girl. They are absolutely two of my favorite books I've ever read!
Swimming in the Dark is one of my favourite books ever so I'm really excited to see your thoughts on it!
A certain hunger is absolutely insane and incredible. I could not stop reading it and have had the urge to reread since I finished, honestly one of my favourite books
I love your videos so much they have impacted me so positively , because of you I have decided to try and get into Durham university I have only just went into year nine . You have helped me decide what I want to do with my life x
swimming in the dark was so so good, one of my faves from this year. also has anyone told jack that the love hypothesis is a reylo fanfic yet
I loved that Jack didn't know anything about A Certain Hunger before he read the synopsis. 😂 Another booktuber I watch read it and I've debated reading it but Jack's realtime reaction to it was everything.
Im so excited for you to read Bunny!! Its one of my favorite books, ever. Im also looking forward to your thoughts/reviews on the books w/ unhinged themes, a lot of them are on my wishlist and i want to know if theyre worth the read 😆
Ahhhh I just immediately purchased tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow. I love Gabrielle Zevin. Did not realise she had written another book! Really excited to read it. The storied life of A. J. Fikry and elsewhere are also really good
Didn't love Bunny that much, but horror is my favorite genre so I'm getting all excited here & hope it pushes you to pick up more from the genre!!
Hahah I'm living for this chaos. Jack is the king of chaos and booktube
A little pronunciation tip for you Jack for whenever you read swimming in the dark! The second male characters name is pronounced as Yanush, the J sounds like a Y in Polish and the sz is pronounced as sh 💕 🇵🇱
And Ludwik would be "Lood-veek" 🥰
Ooooh thanks for the tip!!
haha I thought he was saying Janice and thought to myself... Janice isn't a Polish name, but he was just trying to pronounce Janusz :D
I listened to it as an audiobook which definitely saved me there, haha.
ahh so it's Janusz not Janice, lol
I love you so much Jack. You always make my day better. Hope you are good❤
i absolutely love the chaotic energy of this channel. releasing 3 videos on ur tbr and books u got rid off and following it with a book haul 😭
Loved this video sm!! I read a good bit of these books so I'm excited to hear your thoughts!
swimming in the dark is one of my favourite books ever! it's written so tenderly and with so much love in a way that i can't even really put into words. i also really loved the way it wasn't just a love story in a difficult situation but how the author really picked up on the political situation at that time and dives deep into the issues and the effect they had on everyone. a masterpiece id say.
Swimming in the Dark broke my heart, but I absolutely loved it. Definitely one of my faves from this year ❤
I loved 'Swimming in the Dark'. The storytelling felt so rich and the ending really stuck with me for a long time.
honestly these all seem like really good picks... added a lot to my tbr as well. good haul!!
I've actually read Mona Awad's Bunny. It was as enjoyable a read as it was subversive. I would recommend reading this one first.
slow days, fast company is amazing!! hope you enjoy it! i read it before reading black swans which felt more like an evolution of her work. interested to see how you'll get on w/ slow days having read black swans first. acts of service is also a v fun one!!
I like the fact that you read such different books than I read it's nice to hear what else is out there in literature. If I didn't have so many physical books still to read and, on my tablet, I would try some of these books.
"Acts of service" sounds really really good, I really wanna pick it up.
Was just watching one of your other videos when I got the notification! Always good to see it pop up
A Certain Hunger is one of my favorite books I read this year!
I need an entire blog dedicated to A Certain Hunger and see your reactions as the book progresses, I’m so excited for you to read it!
I love swimming in the dark, read ot earlier this year, fell in love with it and I hope you enjoy it as much I did and that ending
i read swimming in the dark this year and absolutely adored it
i hope you enjoy it, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it!
I finished swimming in the dark last week and it was incredible, maybe my fave of the year so far and yes you've guessed right :(
jack is going to hate the love hypothesis and im so excited
Ngl listening to you read the synopsis of The Love Hypothesis (my favorite romance book), made me absolutely giddy with excitement. I have no clue what you’ll think about it, but that story has a chokehold on my heart.
i was literally having the worst day but the fact that you posted single-handedly saved it
Had a really hectic day, now I'ma watch JACK TALKING BOOKS AND RELAXXXXXXXXX !!!
I just finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Excited to hear your thoughts!
your taste in books is just immaculate!
I’ve learned how to write good synopses thanks to Jack. I’ve picked up some good tips.
i saw acts of service in a bookstore recently and i'd never heard of it but i was so intrigued 👀👀 so i'd start there but i've also been dying to read our wives under the sea and now i'm not gonna have the time to read it for a while so i'm gonna have to enjoy it vicariously through you
Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow is crazy beautiful and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I read it.
i just bought 'tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow' !! very excited for it
I love book shopping always 🧡
Bunny was one of my favorite reads ever!!
Omgg I can't WAIT to find out if you like Acts of Service! Personally, I loved it!
Excited for the bunny review 🐇
I'm so excited for the booktok video! Not because I'm on tiktok but I want to see you read more romance books😹
i love your sweatshirts and london videos
wow. all these sound so freakin good. my goodreads tbr ~_~ THANKS JACK.
I just finished Slow Days, Fast Company- I've never read a book that captures the essence of my home state so well!
Bunny sounds so good. Like Dark Academia meets Mean Girls
Omg Jack I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO READ THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS FOR SO LONG
our wives under the sea is incredible, i read it a few weeks ago and i havent stopped thinking about it
i hope you LOVE Acts of Desperation!! One of my top 10 of 2021 😍
love man search for meaning, love it, greek philosophies, nietzsche, etc are also really good
Man's Search for Meaning is such a great, harrowing book!
a Man's search for meaning is a must read! classic worth reading!
I just bought "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow"! It seemed like something I would love, so I'm reading it next.
‘Our Wives Under The Sea’ is something I can’t wait to see Jack gush about after he reads it.
just narrowed down which of my tbr i was going to buy based on if you'd read & reviewed it yet. watched this video and 70% of these books were the books i'd decided to buy next time. this has really thrown me off, going to edit my basket again now 😭
I am SO excited for you to read tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
I loved A Certain Hunger. I hope you enjoy it.
lol i love the unhaul for two videos and haul for another video vibe on this channel
super excited to read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
I'm currently reading 'Slough House' and it's one of best books I've read this year. It's so anti-James Bond, it's amazing. Agents digging through dirt. Literally.
What happens to the agents who f up, before they become 007? Well, they end up in Slough House. And it's as grim as it sounds.
7:47 - 12:26 whoa what a streak??? and then Bunny, A Certain Hunger and Pizza Girl too? starting to think Jack is going through my TBR bc these are all up there 🤨🤨🤨
I WANNA SEEEE MORE BOOK REVIEWS DUDEEEE and also a review on all boooks dakota recommended
The Architecture of Happiness sounds right up my street! As do loads of them actually
Bunny is my next TBR I can’t wait to see what you think!
a certain hunger is my favorite book of all time!! the prose is beautiful and i'm a huge fan of unhinged female protagonists
Just finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, can't wait to hear what you think! Unfortunately, I found it to be a bit disappointing, and I was quite surprised, as the reviews are stellar.
Our wives under the sea is literally one of mu favorite books
IDJDFJF LITREALLY LOVE YOUR CHAOTIC ENERGY BAUAHAHAH
I'm reading Book Lovers right now and it's really good. I think you will enjoy it.
a certain hunger is so good!! you gotta put supper club by lara williams on your tbr if you want more food-related books!
“That escalated quickly “🤣🤣🤣💚
The act of buying books is fun! I’m not surprised you got more books after making a video about getting rid of books.
never been this early but bestie i'm excited for the new adventure!
I have a few of these ln my tbr, Acts of Service is one I need to get to soon
