idea: make the secondary location library a graveyard, all the books you hated. then they're all in once place for those kinds of videos and not sullying the main shelves
Jack, you clearly need floating book shelves wrapping around the top of every room in your home. Be sure to install low enough to use the top of them as additional book storage. Then when that runs out, you will just need to get a house with a garden so you can create a greenhouse but for books! After that, I guess you'll need to either marry into extreme wealth where they hopefully have a whole wing for you to turn into your personal library, or win the lottery so you can buy your own library wing for your own home :P
Definitely comforting. I enjoy BookTube that simulates in person, tactile book experiences. I did some book organizing while I partly listened/watched and I liked hearing about your little book Santa excursions lol
Jack, you’re the reason my parents got a scare from me actually doing chores. You reminded me about laundry and my parents thought I’d gone up in smoke or hurt myself when I was cooped up in the laundry room and couldn’t hear them
I was just called a grandma by my friends for enjoying my ideal Friday night of reshuffling my bookshelf, glad to see your excitement matches mine for organising our books!
I grew up with Pippi Longstocking! I'm South African and it was translated into Afrikaans here (as well as English, but I read the Afrikaans), and I think we did it in primary school. People always compared me to her and once I actually played her in a school play. Memories unlocked lol thanks Jack
I really had to finish writing a part of my paper for a uni class and this was like the perfect video to watch while writing. it just gave me a cozy feeling and i actually finished the bit i was working on before the video ended which was faster than i thought it would go.
you really need to get those ikea shelf extenders to add on top of your shelves to get a little bit more room! your celings are so tall that they will look fantastic ❤
I just realized you NEVER film yourself reading, i think you used to in like 2021 but you never do anymore, please bring back those types of reading vlogs!
SO excited that you have a copy of Cookie Mueller’s book! I was a huge fan of hers even before I read Walking Through Clear Water, but reading it a couple of years ago just made me love her + her work even more. Excited to hear your thoughts!
Don't forget to update your library inventory wih hose new books Also get rid of outdated nonfiction, reference, and old textbooks - also unhaul mediocre books if you won't re-read (all books that suck)
Are you going to add the risers on the top of the current bookshelves that you kind of mentioned in the moving house videos? You certainly seem to have enough ceiling height!
There's just something about the shelf that makes me feel if only there were two more shelves at the top to complete the whole wall it would look so cool. Or maybe there could be shelves with nice decor up top ❤
It would be really cool if you took duplicate copies and did a 12 days of Christmas advent box like others did! Obviously you could do as many as you had books to rehome, but I saw them selling this year for like 160 dollars and the people were going and getting used books that were often not even in great shape. If you were open to doing that I am sure your subs would have you sold out within half an hour and you would have a decent bit of money to... buy shelves or books with, and people would have books from THEE Jack Edwards home library! LOL Just a thought! Heck even if you wanted to just do a surprise box like that to see once in awhile It would be really cool, like "summer reads box" or "Valentines Box"... you wouldn't need to wait for Christmas, just wait until you had enough of the type of book you wanted to include in the box to place it or a couple of them for sale! Just a thought on how to continue decluttering repeats and maybe even make some money esp if you're getting a lot for free!
Jack why don't you just get rid of the books that you did not like, and will never read again? I get you need books for your videos, but you can always just show a picture on the screen of the book you are referencing. Someone else might enjoy the book you didn't like, and you have wAY more space for books you love!
This Earth of Mankind as well as the series as a whole is a great read. If you're interested in the political turmoil and independence movement of Indonesia from Dutch colonialism, I highly recommend reading it as well as more from Pramoedya Ananta Toer
there was a time , i used to think that I want shelves like Jack, now though , i barely have time to read so just buying books and filling shelves just feels like a waste, Plus it kind of lead me to buy books that I didn't enjoy reading but I read them anyway .For Jack ,it makes sense because this is his professional life as well, for me not so much. So I am controlling myself
I think you should turn the shelf with doors into another bookshelf. If feels a bit out of place being in the middle of the bookshelf and you're quickly needing more space for your books.
Do you actually have a Hoover or do you just call all vacuum cleaners Hoovers? Just a random thought I had because I used to have a Hoover but haven’t seen one in forever.
Hi Jack, do you keep all books you've read out of principle? I seem to remember you didn't like Weirdo and Come and Get Me but put them back on the shelves?
I've been waiting for James in my Libby app for over a month now (maybe more) i'm now 77th (ish) in line) i don't feel bad though, because I finished Ready Player One a night or two ago, and I had to re new my hold on it, but that means i don't have anymore audio books for this month >.>;
"Reading James Baldwin" - An online literary seminar exploring his work and legacy. With Jesse McCarthy, et al. Starts Feb. 26. Register at The Authors Guild Foundation. Love you, Jack. Thought you would be interested in this.
Genuinely question: HOW the fuck does Jack's brain retain all the memory of most of these books??? He just picks up a book and knows how he felt abt it when he read it? He just remembers themes and topics???
The Book Leo and Jack just near simultaneously came out with bookshelf re-organising videos: my day has been made.
Yes I noticed this!!!
My thought exactly
YESSS
THE NOTIFICATIONS LOOKS SO GOOD NEXT TO EACH OTHERR
we have all been SUMMONED to consume book content tonight
idea: make the secondary location library a graveyard, all the books you hated. then they're all in once place for those kinds of videos and not sullying the main shelves
o.m.g. that is SUCH a good idea!!!! like, why mix all the bad books with the good ones??? especially with this quantity!
How do people hoard books they hate, I can't stand to look at the books that wasted my time and money lol.
Nah, you do it and I watch you doing it
💀
Jack, you clearly need floating book shelves wrapping around the top of every room in your home. Be sure to install low enough to use the top of them as additional book storage.

Why is this so satisfying?? I feel like I've just been hanging out with Jack for 30 minutes.
Every part of me needs a video recommendation of the "I support women's rights, but also women's wrongs" shelf pleasesss
The vibes are so cozy and domestic in this one!! Love it I feel so calm
Jack, you’re the reason my parents got a scare from me actually doing chores. You reminded me about laundry and my parents thought I’d gone up in smoke or hurt myself when I was cooped up in the laundry room and couldn’t hear them
I am officially living in Jack's era and no I don't regret it!
22:39 "Perfect "
This reminds of those 4 year-olds who are on the verge of creating a new crisis at home but also trying not to get mom angry.
jackinthebooks and thebookleo bookshelves videos simultaneously we love it
i say this with kindness: you need to take a fire safety course 😭
I was just called a grandma by my friends for enjoying my ideal Friday night of reshuffling my bookshelf, glad to see your excitement matches mine for organising our books!
i’m glad jack does the same thing as i do with my romance books where they are the only books organized by color
So many books and not a single curtain rail in sight
I grew up with Pippi Longstocking! I'm South African and it was translated into Afrikaans here (as well as English, but I read the Afrikaans), and I think we did it in primary school. People always compared me to her and once I actually played her in a school play. Memories unlocked lol thanks Jack
Main channel and second channel videos in 24 hours!! We’ve been fed ❤
The fact that my two favorite booktubers (you and the book Leo) posted their bookshelf organization videos today was the joy of my day.❤
Your love for books inspires me ❤
I really had to finish writing a part of my paper for a uni class and this was like the perfect video to watch while writing. it just gave me a cozy feeling and i actually finished the bit i was working on before the video ended which was faster than i thought it would go.

Are you going to add the risers on the top of the current bookshelves that you kind of mentioned in the moving house videos? You certainly seem to have enough ceiling height!
By risers I just mean extra shelves in a smaller unit meant to sit on the big ones lol I have no idea what I’m talking about
this is an INSANE amount of books it’s a little scary but a dream come true i bet
Have you scrapped the shelf extender idea? That would give you so much more space!!
ope, nevermind you just mentioned installing the top shelves!
There's just something about the shelf that makes me feel if only there were two more shelves at the top to complete the whole wall it would look so cool. Or maybe there could be shelves with nice decor up top ❤
I can just watch you do this all day!!
Where is this book trolley from? It looks so lovely with the shelves!
absolute king in that thumbnail!!!!!!!!!🥱🥱🥱
watching your videos is my way of meditating.
Hey Jack, I'd recommend Invisible Cities if you want to build your Calvino collection!
Needed a little pick-me-up tonight, and here you are. It’s fun hanging out with you, Jack :) Thank you!
great video to watch with my breakfast
All this time, I thought your library was a green screen image. It's real. lol
20:14 you have a golden chance here to do a video of “making famous authors’ favorite recipes and judging them”
our resident librarian up in here cleaning 😌🫶🏻

Body doubling taken to the next level! Mental note, next time I have to deal with my book stacks, just put this on. 😊
was watching this is the background and heard you singing jeff buckley and when j tell you my head whipped aeound for my boy jeff
"A neat desk is the sign of a sick mind."
By the way, I think you've outdone yourself with the number of double entendres in this one ;)
Have you considered floating shelves wrapping around the doorway?
Jack why don't you just get rid of the books that you did not like, and will never read again? I get you need books for your videos, but you can always just show a picture on the screen of the book you are referencing. Someone else might enjoy the book you didn't like, and you have wAY more space for books you love!
It's really becoming a hoarding issue after a certain point. He's made the videos holding up the books he hates, he can let them go now.
I would do double Ikea billy extenders (you can stack up to 2). That would give you so much more room.
I love your home Library contenet
I just KNEW these doors where gonna be removed soon the moment I laid eyes on them lol
You need more shelves Jack 🤝🏻🙂
The thumbnail photo really did something for me
This was so satisfying
Seeing you strike a match in front of all those books gave me a flash of anxiety! 📚🔥😮
One of my greatest pieces of my literary collection is a two-part volume set of The Life of Edgar Allan Poe, published in 1909. 😊
Your library setup is so Pinterest coded. All you need is a fake potted plant and an intrepid cat.
living out your bookshop worker fantasies I see
I feel like the stacks on the floor are the same size as when you started to film this video lol
i feel like i would purposely let it get out of hand so i could play librarian and put them all back :3
5:00 currently taking uni courses in (mainly) Swedish children’s literature and this is one of the books I’m studying atm!💀
i feel like one of these days another unhaul might be in order 🥲🥲🥲
Ah. Perfect.
But jack whats the deal with that curtain 😂
Curious why you don’t get the bookshelf extenders from IKEA so you would have a whole new row of shelves on top and then a whole new top to fill
16:16 lmao
I’m surprised Jack hasn’t implemented his own version of the Dewey Decimal System at this point 😂
This Earth of Mankind as well as the series as a whole is a great read. If you're interested in the political turmoil and independence movement of Indonesia from Dutch colonialism, I highly recommend reading it as well as more from Pramoedya Ananta Toer
Praying the desk and dresser trade places by the end of this video!!!!!
Thank God for kindle 😅
The narnia doors will be missed🙏🏻
Why keep books you hate?
how dare youtube hide this from me for one minute
there was a time , i used to think that I want shelves like Jack, now though , i barely have time to read so just buying books and filling shelves just feels like a waste, Plus it kind of lead me to buy books that I didn't enjoy reading but I read them anyway .For Jack ,it makes sense because this is his professional life as well, for me not so much. So I am controlling myself
Under 10 minutes 💪🏼
Sir you better show that chair some tlc and remove the dangling price tag....
Have you ever considered decluttering your books?:D Every once in a while I declutter the books I didn't like, so I end up keeping all those I enjoyed
hate to be the bearer of good news but its time for the beauty and the beast, ladder bookcase
jack i need to know what you think about intermezzo IMMEDIATELY
I think you should turn the shelf with doors into another bookshelf. If feels a bit out of place being in the middle of the bookshelf and you're quickly needing more space for your books.
And losing the teleportal?!? 😬
a lot of dust? you should be colleen the hoover hehe
I can’t believe TH-cam hid this from me for 33 seconds💘
Do you actually have a Hoover or do you just call all vacuum cleaners Hoovers? Just a random thought I had because I used to have a Hoover but haven’t seen one in forever.
Hi Jack, do you keep all books you've read out of principle? I seem to remember you didn't like Weirdo and Come and Get Me but put them back on the shelves?
I love these videos but can’t help but get really stressed because I have such a fear of the weight of your collection on your floors 😰
I honestly think you are in need of an unhaul🤣
Is this Harry's room in After?
Do you keep your digital scanner library up to date?
You need those bookshelf lamps that slide into the shelf to make it even cozier
Please tell me there’s a fire extinguisher in that room somewhere 😅😅😅
Immediately clicked 😊
I heard Dom Casmurro and Clarice Lispector?? Brazilian instantly summoned 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Have you considered organising your library by Dewey Decimal?
I've been waiting for James in my Libby app for over a month now (maybe more) i'm now 77th (ish) in line) i don't feel bad though, because I finished Ready Player One a night or two ago, and I had to re new my hold on it, but that means i don't have anymore audio books for this month >.>;

It stupifies me, as well. He must have an IQ of 140.
Prepares which books to talk about in advance?
You need to change that closet into another bookshelf
🎉
Jack I love your library so much but why don’t you just unhaul the ones u don’t like (the Colleen Hoover ones for example) 😭
Those candles are way too close to the books it's scaring me!!
Excuse me, sir, but what gives you the right to look so impeccably suave in the thumbnail?
Jack unhaul video when ?
I can help. :)
