update guys!!! i read the full Heartstopper series this year so I have, in fact, read a sequel. WOOOO
You beat me to it by 10 seconds! I was shouting at the screen HEARTSTOPPER 😂
And it made you happy?
Love heartstopper so good series 💙
I was literally going to comment this LOL!
hope it made you happy too 🤣
jack: "a lot of romance which is surprising. usually that's pretty low for me."
also jack: makes an entire video about reading 7 romance books in 7 days
Last year I read precisely zero books. So far in 2022, I've read 14 and I'm busy with the 15th. Nothing in comparison to you of course, but I'm still proud of myself. You've really inspired me to pick up reading again.
that's amazing!! keep it up 😊
aiii you’re doing amazing 😍
That’s everything ! Great job :)
That is amazing, for me when I am not busy berly read any book
Yeay!
Few video ideas:
1)What Emma Watson reads
2)All the books mentioned on F.R.I.E.N.D.S
3)Reading books recommended by your subscribers
4)One book from every genre
5)Only reading translated book for a week
6)What Jisoo from Blackpink reads
7)Books about religion
8)Biographies and Autobiographies
9)Celebrity lifestyle part 2
10)How different your life is in Paris and in England.
11)What Elio from Call Me By Your name reads
12)1 Book from every country
13)Literature you enjoyed as a child
14)Books mentioned in Perks of Being a Wallflower.
15)What Charlie reads in Heartstopper
16)Try other academias like The Dark Academia video
17)Books under 200 pages
18)Tier rank authors
19)Read fanfics
20)Lgbtq+ books
1 book from a couple of countries sounds fun!!!
also translated balkan literature!!!!
Does Charlie read much in heartstopper? I’ve read the comics but have probably forgotten that detail if he does read a lot. Isaac might be a better choice?
I adore your determination
@@shalinimulchandani1197
hmm.
i wonder if he feels badly that you keep asking?
Jack desperately needs a "one week reading happy and funny books"
Me too btw
ngl, freaking out about books already feels far more fun than all the other stuff freaking me out rn🥳🎉
truthhhh
...damn I really need to get back to writing my thesis...OH LOOK Jack has a new video out.
same 😩
Actual mood
new video > thesis 😂
Kind reminder to my fellow bookworms in the comments
1 you’re a lovely person (otherwise you wouldn’t be following Jack)
2 it is not about the number of books that you read , it’s about enjoying reading and having fun and experiencing emotions and escapism and love and really sad stuff and really happy stuff and all of the stuff that is life in a book.
Quote of the Day: “Look at the pure chaos of that. There’s no consistency at all but that’s how we like it, right?”
No matter what Jack reads, it always ends up being emotional and reflective. He could LITERALLY read all of P.G. Wodehouse and the stats would still say he likes reading emotional and reflective books.
I think it's just because most fiction books are either emotional or reflective the way that Storygraph groups them
I wish they would calibrate the moods more because emotional and reflective are used so often and I can't imagine some other moods being anyone's top.
Tangential, but I really wish they would add romantic as a mood as well. I think a lot of non romance books can be quite romantic
Jack I hope you see this bc its important especially if you're going to talk about them/their work in more depth, Akwaeke Emezi (authour of You Made A Fool Of Death With Your Beauty) uses they/them pronouns! Peace and love and happy pride :))
and their writing is incredddddd!!! i love their work cant wait to read this new one!!
I’m sure Jack will appreciate you pointing this out
i came to the comments just to say this too! thank you for letting him know!
Yes came to the comments to say this - their work is liking nothing else. Dear Senthuran is one of my fav ever books x
Jack, you read the entire heartstopper series this year, therefore you have read some sequels
True! Hihihi! 😁😁😍😍
yea its like every other books not on that shelf behind him hes completely wiped out of his memory
I refuse to have the mid year freak-out before 31st June. You can't make me do it Jack.
So.... you're never gonna have the mid year freak-out...?
@@fruiteend Exactly
Lol didn't even catch that till I read the replies
If you’re interested in a book about Norse mythology, Neil Gaiman’s ‘Norse Mythology’ is incredible! I absolutely loved it, a brilliantly written take on the classic tales 💕
It’s so good! Plus he narrates the audiobook and it’s a magical experience
IT by Stephen King is a wonderful 1,000 + page book to tackle your big book fear!
1. It’s divided into several parts, so it could be viewed/read as a series rather than one huge tome.
2. Stephen King likes to write in bite sized sub-chapters. So his books read incredibly fast. No one likes an overly long chapter.
3. It follows a bunch of children tackling their worst fears and eventually the same cast as adults. It’s one of those books where you feel like you’ve grown up alongside them.
There is a caveat though: SK was going through some drug addiction while he was reading it and some of the book is rather… taboo. But it is still very well written and well worth the read.
Tapped on the notification within 21 seconds which is a record. Also, I’m loving the Sunsnogged Face ♥️
Really do enjoy the stats that storygraph gives. 🙂📚
You are such a angel Jack and so proud of you of everything you done the years and made great accomplishments and and make sure you relax and put your self first too always xoxo 💚
as a former scandinavian studies student, i feel the need to recommend you some good books on norse mythology omg. i can't stand the fact that you read a book about norse mythology that left you disappointed
drop the recs!!! 😊😊
do it!
Don’t be shy, feed my need
I'm so happy because this video has the same chaotic energy as your previous one, and I honestly feel understood.
You look happy!
Happiest book and sequel you read? JACK HOW DID YOU FORGET ABOUT HEARTSTOPPER!?!?
you are my strongest source of motivation regarding reading thanks jack!
I love this channel sm because I like hearing your opinions but I don’t have the attention span to listen to them for half an hour, 10/10 slay
Such a fun vid love some reading stats, hope the sunburn gets better, i love using aftersun for the burns so that might help if you havent already used it! :)
I have the promise out from the library and I can't wait to read it. I also really want to read You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty. Just wanted to point out that Akwaeke Emezi is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.
Was coming here to say this!
I love rewatching Jack's iconic books videos or just videos in general
Loved your stats - it takes a different perspective on what one reads and enables one to see gaps !!
I want someone to keep remembering me like Jack brings up ‘Cleopatra and Frankenstein’.
My friends gifted me ‘Before the coffee gets cold’ which was featured on the channel and I look forward to reading it.
I adored that little book ♡ the sequel is underwhelming in my opinion since the concept is already explored well enough in the first
I find it funny that emotional and reflective are of my graph on StoryGraph as well. But my next too are lighthearted and funny. Thanks for all the fabulous recommendations from where we overlap.
Hey Jack! I have a recommendation for you. I think you should read Tomb of Sand by Geetanjali Shree, recipient of the International Booker Prize this year. It is the first novel in any Indian language to win this prize (originally a Hindi-language novel, translated by Daisy Rockwell in English). Hope you will like it!
i read that last month!! such an interesting read!
Yay!! So excited! I love you 💕 Jack
This is my favourite tag I love that Jack did it
So proud of you Jack keep up the great work xoxo 😘
70 books... 😭 I've read 15. Just finished a 730 page book. That was holding me up for a while.
thats a huge accomplishment!! there are people who read no books so 15 is a ton!! Plus you're reading chunky books
15 is good! i've read 7, but i'm okay with that
You’re doing amazing! Remember this is his job, he can afford to do it full time. You’re inspiring to me because I always avoid books over 500 pages 😅😅
I'm on my Sherlock wave, so if you dont mind me asking, was it "A little life"?
@@pillowphiliac8612 No lol, I refuse to read that. It was a biography of Che Guevara. xD
Was literally just thinking about you and your Parisian life and then you posted!
I would love a video showcasing books where you loved the writing styles (with lil quotes)! I need to find a new fiction book and something like Ocean Vuong's writing style would be great!
omg the hub page for your book reviews is such a good idea!!!!
Akwaeke Emezi is agender and uses they/them pronouns!! Wanna let you know for future use when discussing them and their work.
Doesn't Heartstopper count in kind of happy Book series ?
Crazy how different reading habits can be. You've read maybe 30 more books than I have so far this year, but you're only 3000 pages ahead of because I tend to skew towards much longer books.
nice!! which big books have you been reading and liking?
That's so interesting! Went to check my stats and I have read about the same amount of pages as Jack and about 15 books less, but I also don't have big book fear and love a good chunky fantasy so that explains a lot haha
@@kiranreader I read a lot of fantasy and sci-fi, namely I've been re-reading the ASOIAF series, as well as The Locked Tomb series. I also just started reading Brandon Sanderson whose books are often over 1000 pages.
@@flippanties i feel you! i read way of kings last year and vlogged my experience, gosh that is one big book!! 😂😂
dropping everything to watch this video. jack, i blame you for all of my procrastination today
Omg can you PLEASE do a video on book recs for people/college students going through an existential crisis/people in their 20s trying to figure life out - fiction and nonfiction! It would be super interesting/useful during this time! Love your videos and everything you do!!
the icarus is one of my favorite matisse collages it’s such a nice backgound detail :’)
book freakout vids everyday please. read half a years worth of books in a day!
This is completely off topic, but has anyone else watched My Mister? Because I'm crying my eyes out in the best way. It's emotional, reflective, and only one season. The English description kind of threw me off at first but that show is a piece of art.
I have not but love me a good kdrama once in a while. Thanks for the recommendation! Will start the series once I have more free time :)
I've seen a lot of positive messages about it. I watched My Liberation Notes which was from the same writer and I really liked that one. Planning to watch My Mister in the future.
I didn’t even realize there was a “relaxing” category on story graph…
very excited to hear your review on sorrow and bliss! I'm still not sure what to think of it :)
I love and enjoy reading in the sunshine 🌞 too
I am really hyped for the website :)
i made it a goal last year to read 100 books a year and i reached it last year and now i'm already at 65 for the year!!! thank u for motivating me to read more buddy u da best
Okay that website idea…yes please Jack that would be incredible.
I absolutely loved The Island of Missing Trees. Definitely one of my favourite books of the year ☺
I was having a hard time reading this year. After a good start the first two months of reading a book weekly I could no longer focus because of the war news and stopped reading completely. I then tried several books but could not finish any. I just finished one finally last week (a drama so it was easy to read) and now I'm into a collection of short stories. Hopefully from now on it will only get better.
"i'm 2 books behind"
me with my 31 books ahead: relatable
I’m happy bc I have read 25 books from Jan-Now and normally I only get through 25 for the whole year! 🥰
i'm proud of you!!
Yay! I'm at 26 so far and I don't think I ever read that much in half a year 🙂
@@zulmie5777 oh my gosh thank you kind stranger 🥺❤️❤️❤️
@@smallcapy YAY we are killin it 😍❤️
The Promise is sooo good! And coming from South Africa it’s even more rewarding to read!
Im currently reading "you made a fool of death with your beauty" (also because of the florence+the machine's song tbh) and I can already see a potential new fav book (and author????) here
I've just read Cleopatra & Frankenstein because of you, can't wait to see what you'll think about it:)
Always a ray of sunshine ☀️
Just finished Earthlings on your recommendation but found it odd. Amongst my favourite reads this year:
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
All That’s Left in the World
Klara And the Sun
The House on the Cerulean Sea
Picked up The Island of Missing Trees today but put it back on the shelf. Obvs need to pick it up next time…
i lovedddd The House on the Cerulean Sea
The existential flash during "I DON'T WANNA BE HAPPY... when I read"
So, basically, what we need Jack to read a Chonky Non-Fiction Book that’s not emotional and reflective. Maybe I gave you a video idea.
You're not alone, most people rarely seem to read inspiring or relaxing books - I'm hosting a "leave the comfort zone" reading challenge and the promt "read a book with your least read mood" is full of relaxing and inspiring books 😂
@@leeannaspellman4857 It's on storygraph. If you use it on a computer you just click on the "reading challenges" header, then on "browse" in the top right corner, search for "leave the comfort zone" and you'll find both my challenges.
In the app you have to tap the menu button in the top right, then go to "reading challenges", then the same path as on a computer ;)
video idea: books inspired by airbnb art. the three framed illustrations on the top shelf are very the body keeps the score and body work
I would love to read that amount of books in a year ♥
I AM FREAKING OUT
dropping everything this second bc NEW JACK CONTENT LSKSHGFH
you saying everyone is probs predrinking before the party while you were crying to a book before instead was so funny haha
The Jack Edwards Urge to read a domestic tragedy on the way to the party.
"i mean obviously i agree these are my ratings" lmao xD
Great video!
Jack, about his sunburnt nose: I'm hoping that it doesn't get much worse, but who NOSE
when u get sun snogged while ur jackin' the books 🥵
book that made you happy could be heartstopper? For me it definitely made me less stressed lol
omg I just was about to make a website and was going to go out looking for someone to have a discount code so this came at a very handy time
Holy shit this vid is so convinient, my lunch brake just started
“I haven’t been sunkissed, I’ve been sunsnogged” hahahaha
"Sun snogged" new favorite saying
5:57 same, I've also only watched season 1 of Stranger Things
Hey Jack, I’d love it if you did a video on lqbt+ book recommendations for pride month! 😊
I almost had a heart attack and fell to the floor when you said that you are used to watch just one season and said THAT about stranger things. BUT I understand bc most times is watching a show or reading. We need more time on the day/night.
i do in fact need to write a paper for my summer class before leaving for work this evening but this is more important 😫
Jack, why is there a German book on frrench paintings in the bookshelf behind you? :D
I’d love a monthly update 😊
I’ve read a book called a dead girls society but I have never heard anyone talks about it ,it was so good I still remember it even though I read it over an year ago
Hello Jack. When will you be updating your novel newsletter?
jack heartstopper IS a sequel
🤣🤣 i dont want to be happy - died 🤣
thats such a smart website idea ngl
5:55 Heartstopper?? wouldn't that be considered sequels as it's a series??
OMG YES!!!!!!! excellent point
Hi jack I don’t know if you’ve done this before but I’d love an updated video about books for beginners :)
8:39 You didn't need to specify, Jack😭
Hi i'm 17. Thank to you i challenged my lazy french ass to read 60 books in 2022
And up to now i read...13.
But i'm motivated af
Do you think i am going to achieve ?
Even if i fail i would have been further than ever
Thank you for the motivation and the happiness you spread through all of us
You really enlight my depressed evenings
Thank you,
A french fan
hi, en tant que française bien paresseuse 😂, je suis sure que tu peux y arriver, mais comme tu l'as dit ce n'est pas grave si tu n'y arrives pas, c'est aussi l'intention qui compte
bises :)
@@lilylgr7457 merci t'es sympa x)
Jack really said, I DON'T LIKE HAPPY BOOKS, I DON'T WANT TO BE HAPPY WHEN I READ, with his full chest and while looking down at the floor, as if that is not the most relatable thing i have hear all month.
Mid-Year Freakout also known as Queer Existentialism. #HappyPrideMonth (On a serious note, shoutout to my Queer Peers)
considering jack doesnt read much series,, i think a video where he reads popular booktube/booktok series would be great
You should do a video where you attempt reading the sequels of book series you’ve started!
Me not worrying about procrastinating to start a book that is 800 pages knowing jack feels the same😌
As it's the decade of Indigenous languages it would be interesting to review a few books by Indigenous authors like Lee Maracle or Richard Wagamese or Sherman Alexie. I've read 92 books so far this year, most of which have been audiobooks from the library app. Lots of bios and memoirs.
okay perfect
