You are living the DREAM! Coming home to all those packages full of books... Whoa... I'd probably faint of pure excitement! You *so* deserve it! Have a happy Monday and rest of the week!
deeply obsessed with jack getting a present from apple tv and not even pretending hes going to read the book or watch the programme, just drink the whiskey lolll
I just have to say, i absolutely love the way you speak when reading a blurb of any book. Your diction and intonation is like 99% what convinces me to be more curious about the book you're discussing.
On the whole lost-in-translation 'parcel' vs 'package' thing: I used to work at Guitar Center in Nashville. One day an English man came in to check out the guitars. He asked for a lead. "Lead?" I repeated, not understanding. "Yes, lead. Lead. So I can plug in the guitar." "Oh! A cable!" I promptly handed him a guitar cable. He thought I was an idiot, and I thought 'how wonderful, I've learned a new word!'
@@AbsurdExistentialistit’s pronounced leed ~ so not like the metal. I got caught out with that too in the UK where anything that’s a cable or long string/rope they call it a lead. Charging lead (cable), a pet lead (leash) etc 😅
@@janievalgunn Yes, I've heard of the dog lead so I thought that's how it's pronounced. I'm more surprised a doorman in NY didn't know parcel = package lol
That's a lotttttttt of book mail. Some of the books I hardly see being discussed on Booktube that I absolutely love and adore: The Mountains Sing by Nguyen Phan Que Mai. River Sing Me Home by Eleanor Shearer. The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan- Philipp Sendker. The Cat I Never Named by Amra Sabic-El Rayess. Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang. How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue. All My Rage by Sabaa Tahir.
I absolutely agree. Apart from Japanese authors and sometimes South American authors, diversity is lacking on booktube. I haven't read Mbue yet, but another author from Cameroon: Djaïli Amadou Amal, les impatientes. It won the prix Goncourt des lycéens
@@maika0395 Yes! I love to read books from places that are either not represented in English fiction enough or are greatly misunderstood. Usually these things are interconnected. The less we read about some places and cultures, the easier it is to believe misconceptions. Interestingly, I've found so many gems from around the world that are a reminder of how much beauty and diversity lies in unexplored places. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.
@@jinjaninjasrock I read it 4 years ago and still think about it from time to time. It's an absolutely phenomenal book. I have got 'Dust Child' as well and am really excited to read it.
@@aamnahere6250 You are so right! It's incredibly important to read about diverse experiences, cultures and ideas. It helps to improve our empathy and understand the human condition as Jack likes to say :)
These authors must be so ecstatic seeing Jack open their books! I hope that one day, my book can make a journey to him in a mysterious brown box! I would fall out of my seat.
4:15 hearing you speak in an american accent threw me off for a second for real😭 i'm american and i hear people do other english accents all the time (poorly) so hearing you do it PERFECTLY in an american accent got me
Sooooo excited for Anton’s debut novel. He’s such a gem. Also intrigued for the new Julia Armfield, I loved her stories in Salt Slow, yet have shamefully not read Our Wives Under The Sea, yet I know I’ll love it. You’ve reminded me to get to it!
Oh my God Jack those are so many books 😮,I did a book haul recently too, cumulating packages and opening them together is an energy booster 😅 I actually like the second version of Paradise Lost.
Idk why but because of the editing everytime it changed from book to the next package, for a split second it looked like Jack just ripped open the book and everytime I fucking panicked.
Ooooh! Could you do a follow-up on the Linda Barry art/word workbook? I'd love to hear about your experience going through it. I wonder if it's similar to something like those "destroy this" journals
Hahaha I am from India and used to my colonisers vocabulary too and use parcels.. but I'm currently working in the US as an urban designer and turns out that a single lot of land here is called a 'parcel' and that is probably what the guy thought lolol
Your videos inspire us. I want to continue working for a world where children are not killed or otherwise protected. However, sometimes I have difficulty focusing on my work. My heart aches for what is happening in Gaza. What do you recommend for concentration?
Good morning Jack. There it nothing better than getting a book or ten in the post! Very exciting. I appreciate you must be reading 25 hours a day at the moment but I'd like to propose something to you. Would you consider reading one of my recent novels, 'With Every Breath '. In return, I'll buy you a book of your choice. Two extra book packages for you to look forward to! You can't blame a chap for trying. 😊
@@ellenkarlsson9490 His most famous is If this is a Man. He was an Italian Jewish chemist who ended up in Auschwitz during the war. The Periodic Table is also good and more like life lessons and philosophy. They're both not exactly essay collections but he was just my first thought in terms of author in that sense. Anything Bill Bryson is also normally interesting and vaguely scientific in genre.
Please check out Space Struck by Paige Lewis, it's their debut poetry collection and It actually blew me away. So extraordinarily inventive and tenderly heartfelt.
Hi Jack - I know you're a fan of reading different genres, have you ever tried sci-fi? If not, then I beg you to give the Sun Eater series by Christopher Ruocchio a try. I'm no sci-fi gal and this had me hooked! The prose is exceptional with so many beautiful quotes, and the world building is like no other. It's a Name of the Winds meets Dune kind of book. It's told from a first person POV so it's easy to digest and understand. And the protagonist goes through so much he'll break your heart! Please give it a try!
@@johannarm7582 Oh absolutely not. I just love the series so much and I’m sharing it with everyone I know, so thought of suggesting it here as well since I understand Jack’s open to different genres. Sorry if I sounded like an ad though 😂 Absolutely unintentional, just excited!
The closest I will ever get to book mail is vicariously through Jack and I'm at peace with that!!
Wdym?
So real tbh

You come back from a MONTH in KOREA und you open the door to this much BOOK MAIL???? Jack you are living my dream
Jack with an American accent is terrifying
No because i keep replaying him saying parcels and packages. It's messing with my mind
Real!

Is that word pronounced leed or led

Always a good day when Jack posts!!
Reading slump, best thing for that is watching Jack’s vlog!
Masters of the air!!!! The show is so good I’m so jealous
your videos seriously never fail to make me laugh and smile
This is like Christmas in Maison Jacques Édouards
Sooooo excited for Anton’s debut novel. He’s such a gem. Also intrigued for the new Julia Armfield, I loved her stories in Salt Slow, yet have shamefully not read Our Wives Under The Sea, yet I know I’ll love it. You’ve reminded me to get to it!
Always a vibe ✨️
Awesome book mail Jack! ❤❤
Oh my God Jack those are so many books 😮,I did a book haul recently too, cumulating packages and opening them together is an energy booster 😅 I actually like the second version of Paradise Lost.
I love ur content and videos so much ❤❤
omg i’m really early! love your videos, jack!!
Can't believe how early I am. Always great to see a new Jack video!
Jack that bar sounds so cool please do a video of reccomending books based on your favourite cocktail/drink so we can share in the joy
"My doorman in New York" ... you've come a long way.
Heck yeah Buffalo Trace! It's a favorite in our family.
Private Rites is my most anticipated book took! I can’t wait to get my hands on it!!
Best light bourbon, love Buffalo Trace!!
I preordered anton's novel right away, sounds brilliant!
Haha. Same
Idk why but because of the editing everytime it changed from book to the next package, for a split second it looked like Jack just ripped open the book and everytime I fucking panicked.
Oh my god, that book bar sounds AMAZING. I want one in the US.
jack is the reason my bank account is depleting
Ooooh! Could you do a follow-up on the Linda Barry art/word workbook? I'd love to hear about your experience going through it.
I wonder if it's similar to something like those "destroy this" journals
I purposefully say “parcel” bc it sounds so much cooler than “package “. Jello but excited for your freeeee Private Rites book
nothing has ever shaken me to my core as much as hearing jack with an american accent 💀
3:10 Apple sent you such a quality bottle, that’s amazing!
Omg can you drop the name of the book bar in Korea please? I’ve been living here so long but never heard of it til now
Hahaha I am from India and used to my colonisers vocabulary too and use parcels.. but I'm currently working in the US as an urban designer and turns out that a single lot of land here is called a 'parcel' and that is probably what the guy thought lolol
Iconic ❤❤❤
I'm reading Remarkably Bright Creatures right now, I love it so far!
jack please tell me you still intend to do the tortured poets video analyzing cassandra and the albatross and stuff 😭
woah. I saw the comments already talking about jack doing an American accent, but actually hearing it was wild.
omg drop the skincare routine !!!
There are puzzles depicting various book covers. What if you laid a puzzle like that and then read some of the books on the puzzle?
i thought it was Intermezzo and almost had a heart attack.
There was an excerpt from „People we meet on vacation” at polish bilingual matura exam :)) but overall it was difficult (the exam not an excerpt)
I need this to be my reality
Soooo jealous of the Private Rites copy ahhhhhhhhhhh
Me too!! Julia Armfield is my favourite author of all time, I cannot wait to read it - very jealous of Jack 💚
7:09 That is great news.
Linda Barry is awesome!!!
How was korea? I hope you were doing well. I was hoping to run into you while you were in Korea, but you've already gone back!
imagine being friends with Jack and Anton... a dream
So real
The only book what I can read is Garfield 😂 I have a bunch of limited edition book with colored edges. I still need to read them if I have a bookshelf
Your videos inspire us. I want to continue working for a world where children are not killed or otherwise protected. However, sometimes I have difficulty focusing on my work. My heart aches for what is happening in Gaza. What do you recommend for concentration?
I think we need a bookshelf update in a couple months considering when you built them they were already full, I'm assuming it has quickly overflown 😂
I can’t find towards eternity on goodreads yet :(

Now I won't be able to sleep until I get the name of that bar in Korea...
lynda barry is a famous cartoonist! hope that helps
I love essay collections with a science or history theme. I have previously enjoyed Archie Carr and Giles Milton. Do you have any recommendations?
Not Jack but have you read any Primo Levi?
@@lilysmith7759 I have not. Any specific book by him you would recommend?

@@lilysmith7759 Bill Bryson has been on my TBR for a while now but I still haven't read anything by him. 😅
6:04 Oh I’ve heard of this.
Jealous of getting your hands on the new Julia Armfeld!
That is exactly how I handle the tax office post as well.
Jack be collecting again
6:34 me with Jules Verne
the uk covers for julia armfield’s books are so much better 😭😭
