At this point, if Jack ever want to get up to date with his TBR, somebody needs to create such a quiz but with the answers being only the books from Jack's tbr 😂😂😂
So, so, so loving the home library background, it looks so good! This is the Saturday morning booktube content I’m here for :)))) Also details to join the community book club in the replies if you’re interested!
jack i saw someone on tiktok decide their next read the same way the reaping works in the hunger games, write down the titles of all the books on your tbr, the number of entries based on how long you’ve owned it, thats a video idea for you if you’d like to try it😊
Hi, Jack! I wanted to ask you, maybe you can make a video on reading the books that were recommended by Hozier. He recently has released a new album and most of the songs were inspired by books! I thought it was a great idea for your channel! Thanks and I'd be really happy if you considered this idea! Love your channel and you're a ray of sunshine😊
It's funny because Jack opted for a small book, and he got one of the lengthier ones 😂😂. I got a good one, opted for an Irish story set in the past, small size, and recommended by M. Atwood = "Old God's Time" by Sebastian Barry, not bad, and I like the synopsis. I can't wait, happy reading 😀 📖📚
I got Pearl by Siân Hughes, and it's totally something I would read, so I rate this quiz 10/10! We had a lot of the same answers, so it's cool to see that those few different answers really matter. Sometimes quizzes like these will give you the same answer based on like 3 of the 10 questions.
Not a booker winner, but Sean Hewitt’s memoir “All Down Darkness Wide” is the best book I’ve read in a WHILE! I stayed up all night to finish it, and I can’t stop thinking about it!! Highly, highly recommend!
Oooh that sounds like a really interesting premise! I have a funny relationship with The Booker Prize (the novels I’ve read I haven’t liked that much) but this sounds cool! Love these types of videos too :D
I think if you like irish writing, you should try the third policeman by flann o'brien. It's not much like claire keegan or sally rooney, and it's also a bit older, but it is definitely one of my irish-authored books that I keep returning to over and over. It's weird and surreal and a bit dark and very funny.
I got Pearl, and I think this quiz must be psychic because a) that was the first Booker Longlist book I had my eye on initially and b) it's completely and utterly my vibe!
My poetry professor is on this longlist! I took Elaine Feeney's poetry class at the University of Galway last year. She's just the loveliest, funniest person. Check out her long listed book, How to Build a Boat, she's a lovely writer.
New subscriber. I love your videos. Have you ever thought about doing a video on guilty pleasure books or a video on books where the writing may not be good but the story, the idea is good. Just a suggestion. 😸
I just watched your video and did the test directly afterwards. I picked several different answers, but I got the same result as you. For example you want a book that makes you cry and i want one that makes me smile, so maybe the bee sting is heading in both directions. I would love to hear your take on it! Cause it isn´t anything i would have thought of picking for myself. :)
I did the quiz at the same time and got If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery - not necessarily what I first expected but an intriguing novel it seems from the summary!
I got In Ascension by Martin McInnes! Sounds very intriguing but the whole setting being in the ocean is making me a little apprehensive 😅 Still going on my TBR regardless haha
The other day I was wondering if you had read Skippy Dies by Paul Murray, which I loved. The only thing is The Bee Sting is 650 pages! Skippy Dies is also quite long. Seems like the quiz didn’t take the “short and sweet” answer very seriously. Can’t wait to see if you read it and what you think!
Do it! I've read both 'Mark and the Void' and 'Skippy Dies' by Murray and they both made me feeeeeeeel. And yes, also cry! So I'm grabbing the next Paul Murray.
I got the bee sting as well but with completely different answers and tbh it doesn’t really sound like something I would particularly enjoy. Maybe I’ll read it somewhen in the future but I guess I should be glad that my reading list didn’t get any longer because of this quiz
I got In Ascension by Martin McInnes. After watching all the initial reviews I’m the most keen on In Ascension, Prophet Song, This Other Eden, Old Times God and All The Little Bird Hearts
Hi Jack, sorry to ask this but could you provide the measurements in inches for each gap between your shelves? I have also bought the billy bookcase and I have six bookshelves. Struggling to space it out for all my paperbacks to fit. 😅
I too will read The Bee Sting by Paul Murray. It actually sounds interesting, even though I'm not that keen on book making me cry (even though these are always awesome). And I'm gonna go, do the quiz.
My recommendation was Old God's Time. Yeah, I'm not sure about that one lol. Not really my vibe. Loved the quiz though. Last year's quiz picked The Trees, which is absolutely correct (and should have won).
My book is If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery set in Miami while tackling racism before Hurricane Andrew. What makes it interesting is how Jonathan inserted himself being a Miami native with Jamaican parents.
LOVE your library background! Great quiz idea tbh, loved this video. I have such a long TBR so I’m going to take a while to get to my answer (Western Lane)
I got the same answer as you... but we had quite different answers how interesting 😕 e.g. I had barbie, asked for a long book and one that would be escapism and a book that would make me smile 😆
I first got Pearl and because I'm such an overthinker I redid the quiz by submitting my 'second' answers and got If I Survive You - what a coincidence hahah! Both seem really interesting though so I guess it's working
Sir, you have 25% of your library full of TBRs and you’re using a quiz to decide what you want to read next? OF COURSE I’D DO THE SAME THING
👀😂😭🤌🏾
Bruh u had me in the first half
At this point, if Jack ever want to get up to date with his TBR, somebody needs to create such a quiz but with the answers being only the books from Jack's tbr 😂😂😂
Just pick any book and read Jack you have procrastinated enough
Asked for a short & sweet book, and they gave you an almost 700 page book 😂
its hilarious how you said you like it short and sweet but it recommended you a 650 page book lmaoo
So, so, so loving the home library background, it looks so good! This is the Saturday morning booktube content I’m here for :))))
Also details to join the community book club in the replies if you’re interested!
It’s on Re
ddit :)

omg I love this idea

I feel like the longlist is particularly strong this year - so many that I want to read ✨

I got the same.
Me too!
Got a Spell of Good Things by Ayòbámi Adébáyò and honestly looks completely like something I'd read. Plus I just dig vibrant covers
Same!
I got the same book!
Not a booker winner, but Sean Hewitt’s memoir “All Down Darkness Wide” is the best book I’ve read in a WHILE! I stayed up all night to finish it, and I can’t stop thinking about it!! Highly, highly recommend!
Was reading "woman in the window". Stopped that just to see Jack what you are gonna read next😂😂. Your book choices are great 😁❤️
Yes to the Irish telling the best stories!
Oooh that sounds like a really interesting premise! I have a funny relationship with The Booker Prize (the novels I’ve read I haven’t liked that much) but this sounds cool! Love these types of videos too :D
love these quiz videos !!
Such a fun idea and quiz Jack ❤

I' m happy to tell you that my choices were often contradictory to yours and I got "If I survive you".
I got Pearl, and I think this quiz must be psychic because a) that was the first Booker Longlist book I had my eye on initially and b) it's completely and utterly my vibe!
The Bee Sting sounds like it has the vibes of the show "Flowers" which i highly recommend btw xx
I haven’t seen a single one of those movies 🤦🏻♂️
My poetry professor is on this longlist! I took Elaine Feeney's poetry class at the University of Galway last year. She's just the loveliest, funniest person. Check out her long listed book, How to Build a Boat, she's a lovely writer.
New subscriber. I love your videos. Have you ever thought about doing a video on guilty pleasure books or a video on books where the writing may not be good but the story, the idea is good. Just a suggestion. 😸
I also got The Bee Sting and it has now moved to the top of my TBR list ☺️
I just watched your video and did the test directly afterwards. I picked several different answers, but I got the same result as you. For example you want a book that makes you cry and i want one that makes me smile, so maybe the bee sting is heading in both directions. I would love to hear your take on it! Cause it isn´t anything i would have thought of picking for myself. :)
SO EXCITED!!!😊
I also got The Bee Sting and answered the questions SOOOO differently! This book must be wild!
the quiz predicted your favourite book of the booker prize 😂
I got Pearl !! will definitely read that then
I have had my eye on The Bee Sting but just took the quiz and it told me to read If I Survive You, lol, maybe I'll read both.
I took this quiz too and got the same book rec!
I did the quiz at the same time and got If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery - not necessarily what I first expected but an intriguing novel it seems from the summary!
the quiz is not there
I got it too!
I got If I Survive You. Very intrigued. 😊
The Bee Sting sounds very interesting and cool ❤
My answers gave me "Old God's Time" which was already on my TBR.
I got In Ascension by Martin McInnes! Sounds very intriguing but the whole setting being in the ocean is making me a little apprehensive 😅 Still going on my TBR regardless haha
I got The House of Doors which is the one book on the list I have already considered reading so I guess it is spot on for me.
The other day I was wondering if you had read Skippy Dies by Paul Murray, which I loved. The only thing is The Bee Sting is 650 pages! Skippy Dies is also quite long. Seems like the quiz didn’t take the “short and sweet” answer very seriously. Can’t wait to see if you read it and what you think!
I love a good quiz!!
I got the same book suggestion! Although we had different answers
Me too!
Me too, my answers were completely different, this is weird.
Would love to see a video like this but you read the book too!
I took the quiz with you and I was recommended If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery.
I didn't even know this quizz exsisted! Taking it now 😅
I got 'If I Survive' 🤫 It sounds pretty interesting.
I got A Spell of Good Things, it makes me tear up already after reading the blurb. Excited to read it next after my exams.
Do it! I've read both 'Mark and the Void' and 'Skippy Dies' by Murray and they both made me feeeeeeeel. And yes, also cry! So I'm grabbing the next Paul Murray.
I just finished If I Survive You and I loved it!
You are strong cause I’d have redid the quiz until I got the book I want
I got ‘pearl’ by Sian Hughes. My amazon app finger is twitching while I try not to look at the 60 books in my tbr pile
We had some very similar answers, but Pearl was my recommendation
I got the bee sting as well but with completely different answers and tbh it doesn’t really sound like something I would particularly enjoy. Maybe I’ll read it somewhen in the future but I guess I should be glad that my reading list didn’t get any longer because of this quiz
I got In Ascension by Martin McInnes. After watching all the initial reviews I’m the most keen on In Ascension, Prophet Song, This Other Eden, Old Times God and All The Little Bird Hearts
Do moreeee quizzessss pls
our answers couldn't be more different and i got the same book
I got Pearl 😅 sounds awesome
I got Pearl ! Sounds very intriguing
I did the quiz and I got: A Spell of Good Things by Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ and after reading the description, it sounds like it’s up my ally 😂
the quiz is not there
I got This Other Eden by Paul Harding! Maybe I’ll put it on my tbr📚
I got If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery. On my tbr it goes.
I picked a lot of dog answers to the quiz and got The Bee Sting too
You have my dream bookshelf ❤
I have no idea what my answers would have been, but it's been fun to see that I was mostly right about my assumptions on _your_ answers 😂
I did the quiz and it picked the only book that had interested me! 🎉
Hi Jack, sorry to ask this but could you provide the measurements in inches for each gap between your shelves? I have also bought the billy bookcase and I have six bookshelves. Struggling to space it out for all my paperbacks to fit. 😅
I got Pearl. I knew it, already on my list
Interesting I got Pearl, but wanted to read The Bee Sting
As per this I should be reading “A spell of Good things “ and I will read it ❤
I too will read The Bee Sting by Paul Murray. It actually sounds interesting, even though I'm not that keen on book making me cry (even though these are always awesome). And I'm gonna go, do the quiz.
My recommendation was Old God's Time. Yeah, I'm not sure about that one lol. Not really my vibe. Loved the quiz though. Last year's quiz picked The Trees, which is absolutely correct (and should have won).
we got the same book recommendation 😆
I got A Spell of Good Things! 🧡🧡
"A little life" in the back... I will cry... Again
3:31 Definitely by the Irish given the recent spate of great literature that were featured.
Our answers are so different besides "make me cry". I got "In Ascension" by Martin MacInnes
I took the quiz and got A Spell of Good Things. Sounds interesting!
It's so interesting how we had 4 different answers and yet we got the same book!
I had just finished taking the quiz and got 'Pearl' when Jack said he'd like to read it, so I guess I have to read it now.
I got Pearl too🎉
My book is If I Survive You by Jonathan Escoffery set in Miami while tackling racism before Hurricane Andrew. What makes it interesting is how Jonathan inserted himself being a Miami native with Jamaican parents.
I got ‘The House of Doors’ by Tan Twan Eng.
Got The House of Doors by Tan Twan Eng and I want to read it so bad! Loved it!
i got "the house of doors" by tan twan eng 💗💗 your videos are always the best
I got The House of Doors by Tan Twan Eng. i do really want to red that soon
but i want to read most of the long list
I got "You should read: Prophet Song by Paul Lynch"
LOVE your library background! Great quiz idea tbh, loved this video. I have such a long TBR so I’m going to take a while to get to my answer (Western Lane)
It’s so strange, I always do these quizzes alongside Jack, and I usually answer very different, but somehow we always end up with the same result?
I got All the Little Bird-Hearts
I got the bee sting too which I’ve already read and wanted to throw at the wall after that ending
I got Pearl by Sian Hughes and it actually sounds right up my alley
I got the same answer as you... but we had quite different answers how interesting 😕 e.g. I had barbie, asked for a long book and one that would be escapism and a book that would make me smile 😆
I first got Pearl and because I'm such an overthinker I redid the quiz by submitting my 'second' answers and got If I Survive You - what a coincidence hahah! Both seem really interesting though so I guess it's working
i've just finished a little life and this book is staring at me from behind you 👀
I did the quiz, had completely different answer, also got The Bee Sting :D
Got The House of Doors by Tan Twan Eng! 😊
I got suggested Pearl by Siân Hughes through this quiz
I gave very different answers from you and got the same book, which worries me... 😅
I've got the Pearl by Sian Hughes ;)
You know the second this video finished, I clicked on the link and did the quiz for myself. P.s: LOVING the bookcases!!
Huh, I got Tan Twan Eng's The House of Doors - the book that interests me msost of the list.
