    Hi Jack 💚💖 First of all, I am so glad you are out of your slump.
    Second, if I were your friend IRL I would ask you who taght you to put yourself down so much, it happens in every video and it is quite heartbreaking to see. And therefor, it is extra lovely to see you lifting yourself a bit with the dance/rythm comment. I am sure you would do very well in dance class.

      @@caspiansvensson hello my friend! I too am very glad to be out of my slump! I’m sorry, I really am trying to stop putting myself down! It’s a hard habit to break! I am glad you enjoyed my dancing though, that makes me very happy 😊

    Hi Jack!!! So happy the love of reading is back! You were on fire this month 🔥
    Not gonna lie, when I heard on the news that Han Kang had won the Nobel Prize I jumped off of the sofa, screamed and did a little dance! She is my favourite Korean author, I really really love The White Book and Human Acts! Human Acts is also quite an upsetting read, but it's the one I'd recommend the most because it has her lovely prose but also an historical element that I think helps to ground the narration. I have yet to read The Vegetarian because it has always felt a little bit intimidating but I will get to it sooner or later I swear, I just need to prepare myself mentally first. 😅
    Have a lovely week! 😊

      Hi my friend! Thank you!
      Yes as soon as I heard I thought it’s finally time to pick up one of her books. Very interesting that I picked up the one you haven’t read. I’ll just have to read her other ones now too!
      Have a great week ❤

      @ Thank you! My reading had been all over the place in the past few weeks, so I feel like I have enough loose ends to tie up right now before the end of the year. But hopefully I’ll get to them sooner rather than later. 😂

    Jack... OK you ready, I was a professional dancer and dance teacher and my speciality was... Tap!!!
    I was a national champion in tap and then I also taught multiple ones, so if you ever want to try it, I'm your girl!

    I'm glad your reading slump is over 🎉 I myself had a horrendous slump in October amd ive already read more than half the number of pages in this first week of November than I did all of last month. Long may the ✨reading vibes✨ continue!
    Ever since Han Kang won the Nobel and ive heard or read someone discuss The Vegetarian, I've sort of been transported into the atmosphere of that book and just been struck by how often I still think of it and how its stayed with me all these years after reading it. (Ironic given how when i first tried to read it as a teenager, i DNF'd within 50 pages and gave the old one star rating on Goodreads! 🙈🙊😂)

      Isn’t it funny how books do that to us sometimes. It’s often the right book at the wrong time! I’m glad you enjoyed up enjoying.
      And thanks for saying I’ve got the moves! 😊

    Hey guy,
    So happy that you had such a good reading month. I haven't commented in a week or two..I left one on your LONG vlog a couple weeks ago but it disappeared shortly after😒 I haven't been feeling too bookish of late...we have an election tomorrow & one of the candidates is spreading so many lies & hatred that I fear what will happen if they lose...but I fear what will happen if they win...😔 Anyway, I just hope for people to have clear heads in the matter. You take care.
