My guest today is Jack Edwards, one of the biggest names in the world of "BookTube."
Booktube and Booktok and the nicknames given to the community that has developed on TH-cam and Tiktok around books, book reviews and culture connecting to and stemming from them.
We discussed his rise on TH-cam, the value of Shorts, Twitter and online discourse and how to deconstruct art (among other things).
I hope you enjoy.

I'm so here for this 'men written by women' energy from both of them
His dry humor and charisma is what brings so many viewers to his channel. You get tasteful book recommendations and laugh as well
Not me low-key sipping them. 👀🌚
I actually loved watching Jack go through interviews and get rejections because I too was struggling with the job search at the time. And I’ve never seen anyone share the before and after of a job interview, people usually don’t show this part in case they don’t get the gig so it was unusual🤷🏻♀️
One of the reasons I think this world is full of unhappy and tired people, is that most people don’t share their true experiences and feelings. Never loose that Nathaniel. Your willingness to share the good and the bad is helping people more than you know.
I just love watching him talk for hours! He's so polite and respectful and educated
it’s really nice hearing Jack speak, he’s so articulate and also because he’s more private about his personal life it mystifies him - like who actually is this man whose lifestyle I look up to??? it’s so curious
As a German I see a huge difference between using the phrase I love you- ich liebe dich, and I have Love for you- ich hab dich lieb. The latter one is much more casual and used for friends and family, while saying that you love someone is reserved for your partner/spouse.
Why is Nathan like a little insufferable? This is my first time hearing him and listening to him and like his questions for the most part are okay but like sometimes his comments are very pompous? I’m referring to his comments on short form content and like not reading anything but non-fiction. I feel like it came across as just im better than you and less of an opinion. Not trying to like spread hate but honestly the vibe just hit me wrong. Like you’re criticizing Jacks entire brand? Which is mostly fiction and short form content. Idk just an opinion
The Cross-over I am HERE for! My two favourite youtubers in one conversation ❤️
Aw the world needs more jack’s; he’s passionate, kind, talented and encourages me to work harder and read more. The entire interview was so pleasant to listen to. You can tell Jack reads a lot with his great wisdom and thoughts. So many interviewers could learn by Nathaniel, such a soothing ambience you managed to create between the two of you. You were respectful, engaged, and asked some great questions
what makes booktok so cozy and addicting is that people (jack) speak so passionately about books, because of their love for them, and therefore makes it that much more enticing for the viewers
2 healthy perspectives + 2 grounded communicators = my favorite TH-cam content. Thank you!
jack has absolutely reignited my love for reading and i will forever be in debt to him for that
The crossover I wasn't expecting, but WOW - this was so lovely!
I go to jack's university, and his videos honestly helped me through the application and move in processes so much. He was one of the reasons I started considering Durham in the first place and now I love it here so much. It makes me so happy to know that his initial intentions for the channel had a life changing impact on me
I'm at that stage of my life too were I'm out of university but I still have no job and have no idea when I'm going to figure my shit out. It's horrible to notice myself not wanting to go to family gatherings or meet with friends that already have jobs because I just feel so dumb and inadequate, I don't know when that's going to get better but it's so amazing to hear that people I admire have those same experiences, so thanks for sharing, Jack.
Ok I'm falling in love with a) this format of videos and conversations b) Him c) You guys did make me want to read more and then the whole "Maybe we don't need to get into the trauma of being alive every single time" got me XD
Native German speaker here: it‘s kinda true what you said about Liebe. you don‘t say „Ich liebe dich“ to just anyone. If you do, it‘s a big deal. But, if you like something a lot, younger people also say „Ich lieb‘s“, which is an abbreviated version of „I love it“. So in a romantic sense, Liebe is kind of a big word, but in terms of liking something it does get used more and more often, typically by younger people.
sooo essentially, this was the most calm and collected for vs against tik tok🤣 argument!
