Yea... I do buy lots of books I SAY I'll read but take ages to get into. I still eventually read them, when I'm bored and have them laying around, but sometimes I end up coming across another book I just happen to find more intriguing than those on my shelf and guess what, I buy more books lmaooooo. Being a book lover goes hand in hand with loving to read AND buy books. I think it's generous that Jack wants to give some for charity, I could never. Even if I hated the books, that's because I decided to build my own little library when I build my own home in the future, which I feel like lots of book lovers also want
i unhaul books all the time, it’s honestly a skill i had to learn. i look at a book and i determine 1. do i love you? yes keep, no move to step 2 2. is your cover so beautiful that you can just waste my shelf space ? and i know it’s an awful feeling to have bought a 30-40$ new book from a nice bookstore and not really like it, and then give it away. my personal goal is to slowly build a library of books i love so it’s a worthy sacrifice
@@britbc4461 i do that as well, but sometimes i can’t help it when a book just comes out and how long the holds line will be at my library. i also really love thrifting for books
I love how suddenly chaotic it got when he realised just how little time he had until his parents arrived, the shift in the video. I can hard relate to that feeling ahahahaa!
Oh you're moving to Paris! That makes me so happy! Welcome and just in case you need recommendations of English bookshops: Shakespeare and co. is a classic but very touristy, too crowded and expensive, my favorites are Smith & son at Concorde and the red wheelbarrow. There's also a couple of second hand bookshops in the 5th
There are some things that hurt ones soul. The loss of a loved one, failing a test you prepared for, watching a really sad movie/play, and being a book nerd that has to let go of some books.
What a collection! Definitely got some book recommendations from looking through your collection with this vid. Can't wait for the future videos of your book reviews for some of these 😁
@@hanaahameed3512 I still haven't read the burning god because it hasn't come out in paperback yet ( I have the other two in paperback) and I'm so excited for it
Jealousy, jealousy but also totally get you. It's hard to let go. Also, when Jack and you have the same edition of a book- hallelujah. Gods, I do that cover thing too. I bought this beautiful edition of a book and they had the audacity to send me the movie tie-in cover. Betrayal! Ah! Poor Jack bought a Hindi book. Btw the title is "Kauhra Ghana hai" or the fog is thick by Naveen Choura I think. Also, weird flex but I am unhauling about 70 books that I used to read when I was 10. I've been holding on for the last three years(I'm 15), hoping my brother would read them, but well I'm gonna send them to people who'll hopefully read them. Your parting words can be engraved on my tomb.
The 39 Steps is some of the most undramatic writing I've ever encountered. If you haven't yet read that one, Jack, you're likely to be disappointed. I certainly was.
Your voice is so soothing haha - just found your channel recently and your accent/voice is just so soothing to listen to. You would be amazing reading books out loud for audiobooks!
The way I paused the episode I literally just started to watch this video 🤣 Surely it’s not normal to have gotten excited to see your copy of The Glass Palace, and to feel this much regret seeing you keep it after I donated mine 🥲 Honestly thinking of buying A little life as a very early bday gift for myself👀
That reminds me of when I moved out of my flat, when I moved in I had like, maybe a hundred books, I have now over two thousand... It was an adventure.
A Suitable Boy is so, so much more than the series, and it’s amply worth the time 😍 I first read it many years ago, and the world is really part of me. Do make time for it! oh and Kitchen is also one that lives rent-free in my mind, I legit thought about it just this afternoon, I’ve lost my copy and I was thinking I need to repurchase!
Idk why I found this so funny, like the way in which every time he shows a new stack of books and is done realises he hasn't unhauled anything but just keeps doing it 😂
I'm halfway through this and Jack has gotten rid of two books so far. He just held up a book and said, "I didn't enjoy this book ... but it's a book I want to keep." 😅😅😅 This is such a mood.
Really really recommend “do not tell me we have nothing” it is one of my favourite books of all time! weaving together so many characters, timelines and events in such a masterful way, I absolutely loved it! also for anyone: if you have an interest in 20th century China, this book is just extra *chef’s kiss*
I love looking at your shelf and then glancing over to mine, looking at the identical titles, because the only books I get are the ones YOU recommend lol, I think I have a problem too
!!!!!! SPOILER ALERT FOR POSSIBLE UPCOMING VIDEOS!!!!!!!! Jack just moved to Paris???? Wow?????? Jack, if you're reading this, I want you to know that Paris is my dream city. It has been since I was six. But there's just like no chance at all that I'll ever be able to set foot in Paris. You're my favorite person ever. So here's hoping that you do daily life in Paris, tour of Paris etc. Etc. Vlogs, because even if I don't get to ever visit Paris, I'd love to see it through my favorite person's eyes 🥺💗
To mention/add to Stephan Fry’s writing, not only is it accessible for people to understand but it is also good for people where for them English is their second language, i was talking to my dad, who’s second language is English, and he was saying about the way Stephan Fry writes is very good for those like himself where it is a second language
Jack Darling, if this was over 45 minutes WE WOULD STILL BINGE IT so please dont feel pressured to rush videos like this again. Gorgeous collection btw 🔥
i felt like i was over at a friends house with this video and i loved it also, this will be my "i don't know what to read next and need recommendations" rescue
Not me googling "a moveable feast" and jumping to conclusion you're moving to France + can't believe someone is gonna find Normal People The script in their charity shop 😭
This is literally me trying to let go of some books but end up spending 8 hours flipping thru old books and reorganizing my whole bookshelf- Being a bookworm is hard mayn T T
"Buying books and reading books are different hobbies"
So relatable.
Life motto
Was legitimately about to comment this ! Soooo accurate

@@sin3358 i just sell books i don't want anymore 🤟🏻
jack: wants to “unhaul”
also jack: keeps “jane eyre laid bare” even though he hated it
how could I get rid of jane eyre laid bare!!!!!
@@jack_in_the_books idk it would leave your bookshelf BARE - sorry, couldn’t resist
He kept Rodham and I'm just wondering why
@@nadiavilasboas7158 SAME
And I didn't see him toss out Rodham.
Jack: “I have all these books I don’t know how that happened”
Also Jack: “Buying all the books on my TBR :D”
Jack 'I won't do reviews because that will take a long time.'
Also Jack: films a what's on my bookshelf and calls it an unhaul
me realizing Jack has a whole collection of books at his parents house too-
Yeah. A pretty extensive one too.
Those don't count. ;D
😳
jack : i didn’t enjoy this it was garbage
also jack : keeps it even he’s literally doing an unhaul video
"and i'm gonna unhaul some of these books" then proceeds to unhaul nothing
I mean...he had the vision
Relatable
well I mean it’s the thought that counts right?
Jack keeping Jane Eyre Laid Bare is the plot twist of the century
He validates me every time he says I haven't read that one yet.
The way Jack emphasised the word “trauma” on A Little Life cracked me up! True though. That book did traumatise me for weeks!
I'm still trying to NOT think about that book. (It's been four years now)
I still haven’t read it. BUT I did read Song of Achilles and let me tell you.. “holy moly fucked me up” is so accurate.
Yep. It's been about 6 months and whenever I look at it on my shelf my heart Hurst a little bit.
@@payholaa I feel you! That book left me sobbing.
I just bought it. I am excited to be traumatised😂😭
"Buying books and reading books are two different hobbies.."
Truer words have never been spoken!!!
it's the way i thought he was showing every book in the pile before he unhauled but turns out he jus wasn't unhauling any of them
this made me feel slightly less guilty about how many books ive bought and not read this year ahahahah
"Okay, I did not unhaul as many books as I was expecting to and I bought way more books than I expected to" sums up my whole life as a reader.
The way Jack unhauled almost nothing...clickbait bestie ✨
To be fair he did say he barely unhauled anything in the title 😂
I tried to warn you with the title!!
jack: yeah I hate this book
also jack: i'm gonna keep it
i unhaul books all the time, it’s honestly a skill i had to learn. i look at a book and i determine
1. do i love you?
yes keep, no move to step 2
2. is your cover so beautiful that you can just waste my shelf space ?
and i know it’s an awful feeling to have bought a 30-40$ new book from a nice bookstore and not really like it, and then give it away. my personal goal is to slowly build a library of books i love so it’s a worthy sacrifice
$30 or $40???
@@Themoo4eva ugh yes that’s how expensive brand new hyped books are in canada. US is always about 10$ cheaper
Honestly I read them from the library first and then buy it if I like it.
@@britbc4461 i do that as well, but sometimes i can’t help it when a book just comes out and how long the holds line will be at my library. i also really love thrifting for books
@@alexastewart9269 that’s why i go to superstore and walmart’s clearance section ✨
I love that you didn’t even get rid of a book you called “garbage” 😂
when you got through two entire stacks only to realize you hadn't gotten rid of any books yet...i have never felt more seen
i could watch jack not unhauling books in an unhaul video all day
as someone who LIVES for well-read books, when you said “look at the color of the pages” like that it kiiiinda hurt my heart, ngl.
2:31 Jack: pretentious garbage. didn't enjoy it.
Me: oh so you'll get rid of it? ...you'll get rid of it right?
Jack: pretentious....
🤪
I love how suddenly chaotic it got when he realised just how little time he had until his parents arrived, the shift in the video. I can hard relate to that feeling ahahahaa!
jacks friends: that is so sad, it’ll wreck you
jack: I can’t wait
and this is why you are so relatable Jack
Jack: "Pretentious garbage! [...] didn't enjoy it."
Also Jack, a few moments later: "Didn't get rid of any books."
I'm sensing a problem here 😂
Throughput the video you can see Jack speeding through because he was running out of time.
hahahahha my parents were on their way to help me move out and arrived about 5 mins before I finished filming 😅😅😅😅😅
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY YOUR VIDEOS MAKE ME😭i’m so grateful i found your channel
the way his spines are in pristine condition makes my day
Oh you're moving to Paris! That makes me so happy!

Jack: that's it. I have done it. I have unhauled my shelf.
me: You didn't unhaul shit.
As it should be 😅♥️
Just got home - absolutely perfect timing
sameee
You need to read “A hundred years of solitude “ I believe you like magical realism, and that book is basically the face of magical realism
I took a magical realism class in college and the teacher started with it to give us a base.
Yeah, Murakami is magical realism and he loves him.
Also Hundred Years of Solitude is a masterpiece!
4:31
i feel proud about how i can recognise most of the books from the earlier videos
I love how jacks video titles are always like a full sentence long. I guess that’s one of the habits you pick up from a literature degree.
It would be really interesting to see a video about you reading random unread books from your library! It could even be a series
"call me by your name" by Lil Nas X caught me off guard lmaooo
There are some things that hurt ones soul. The loss of a loved one, failing a test you prepared for, watching a really sad movie/play, and being a book nerd that has to let go of some books.
alice oseman is my favorite author. like she’s funny, she can draw really well, and she can write really well. like how talented can someone be?
What a collection! Definitely got some book recommendations from looking through your collection with this vid. Can't wait for the future videos of your book reviews for some of these 😁
Jack *mentions The Poppy War by RF Kuang*
Me: “I see you’re becoming more cultured.”
Yes! I loved that book. The series is amazing. He should definitely get around to reading that.
@@hanaahameed3512 I still haven't read the burning god because it hasn't come out in paperback yet ( I have the other two in paperback) and I'm so excited for it
@@martinvonschultz2371 oh... that book. That ending. Good luck.
i can’t move on from that book T.T
@@arinahalias would you have any recommendations for similar books. Fonda Lee's Jade City series.
“Buying books and reading books it’s a different hobbie” That’s true.
I actually don’t think you did that bad. It’s really hard getting rid of books!
the title alone resonates with me on a spiritual level
Why is this the most relatable unhaul video of all time? I feel seen.
That was such a recap of this whole crazy past year with Jack❤️
Love the frequent uploads!
your videos always put a smile on my face 💖💖
I've been binge watching all your videos all afternoon and now you post a new video ? I love today 🥰
I recently went through my 200+ books and only got rid of 5, don’t feel too bad Jack 😅📚
the giggles that overtook me at 4:12 when he realizes that he’s gone through two whole stacks and not unhauled a SINGLE book lmaoooooooo. jack, ily
had the worst day and decided to watch this video just before going to bed, this man makes me so happy lmao thank you for making me laugh
Jealousy, jealousy but also totally get you. It's hard to let go.
Also, when Jack and you have the same edition of a book- hallelujah.
Gods, I do that cover thing too. I bought this beautiful edition of a book and they had the audacity to send me the movie tie-in cover. Betrayal!
Ah! Poor Jack bought a Hindi book. Btw the title is "Kauhra Ghana hai" or the fog is thick by Naveen Choura I think.

the Virago Modern Classic Edition of Rebecca is beautiful!! (the black, red, golden one)

Surely it’s not normal to have gotten excited to see your copy of The Glass Palace, and to feel this much regret seeing you keep it after I donated mine 🥲
Honestly thinking of buying A little life as a very early bday gift for myself👀
"haven't read that one yet"
story of my life, jack
0:18 This shot proves his tile of the "TH-cam Librarian" (The banner from the main channel)
My mum just finished A Suitable Boy. Absolute mission, a remarkable achievement in my opinion haha
Seeing Do Not Say We Have Nothing on your shelf made me so happy! It’s set in my hometown and I can’t wait to read it
This video was Jack showing all his books hahaha love it
That reminds me of when I moved out of my flat, when I moved in I had like, maybe a hundred books, I have now over two thousand... It was an adventure.
You don't understand how this motivated me to go broke all over again for more books ✨
Goals!
Just got my lunch break! Awesome timing ❤️
Your channel (or shall I say two channels) is literally my comfort place

Idk why I found this so funny, like the way in which every time he shows a new stack of books and is done realises he hasn't unhauled anything but just keeps doing it 😂
the slow descent into chaos and stress really makes this video complete
the best thing of this video : i knew all the books you had because i do nothing else but watch you buying books and talking about books
Watching this is just so interesting to me because we have such different taste in books
I probably spent th whole of last week wondering wear all those books you bought went and this lovley video has found me today ....
I've never come across a channel which is 100 percent worthy enough for my view time, until I came across this human!
So many titles there that I'm interested in, but I already have a huge pile of books at home while my reading speed is that of a snail.
loveless and in general all of alice oseman's books are AMAZING
So many great books! I can see why you had trouble unhaul if books! 💕
I can only IMAGINE what kind of pain letting go of these books would cause right now
That desk is gorgeous!
Im lowkey obsessed with the table set up
OH GOSH WE FINALLY SEE IT
IM SO STOKED
I am not surprised tho, all of his celebrity recs videos literally have all hard copies-
(Also, FIRRRSSTT)
“Buying books and reading books are very different ok?”
~ Jack Edwards
I can’t even😂😂😂😂
okay but the amount of new books just added to my tbr-
Jack: thinks a desk piled with books is a disaster
Me: looks around my apartment so filled with piles of books you can't see the walls and floor 😂😅😅
I'm halfway through this and Jack has gotten rid of two books so far. He just held up a book and said, "I didn't enjoy this book ... but it's a book I want to keep." 😅😅😅 This is such a mood.
