So, if Steph is the Queen of booktube, does that make Jack the Joker?

the way steph just ignores or does not hear some of jacks puns and keep a straight face makes me laugh so hard

The us cover of a little life is actually a famous photo names "The orgasmic man" it was taken in the 1960's. Basically it's supposed to be a mystery between whether this man is in pain or pleasure. This heavily relates to the books the more u think about it D:

i really didn't expect the "today i'm joined by - a real american!"😭😭 jack's really funny

[lauraspruce]

I love how Jack is looking over to Steph every time he's made a joke. Like he's thinking: 'Please laugh. A little chuckle c'mon.'

The US version of They Both Die At The End is so much better than the UK. That hourglass situation is too on the nose and has no emotion. The US cover really gives you the vibe of the book. The scythe shadow and the nighttime romantic walk? *chef’s kiss*

[ToomanyFrancis]

There's no way the UK cover beats that shade of blue on the US cover of They Both Die at the End. It looks good in the picture, but holding it in your hand it feels like it shouldn't even exist, it's beautiful.

Jack: “Rule Britannia.”
Me, an Indian: (nervous laughter)

[joolaine]

How do you not acknowledge the genius of the US cover of They Both Die At The End? The clouds forming a skull? The shadows of the boys forming a grim reaper? The clocks on the side? Are you joking me? How is the UK one more reflective?! aaaargh hahahaha :D sry you didn't want us to get upset, but I just did :D

[jakolienvanderhulst]

Okay I get that the UK cover of ‘They both die at the end’ seems more unique BUT did you notice on the US cover their shadow is a grim reaper??

Yeah but guys, the shadow on the sidewalk in the U.S. version of “They Both Die at the End” is THE GRIM REAPER!! Also, you both need to read Eleanor Oliphant. It’s amazing. Also you guys are great 🎉

I CAN'T WITH THE EUROVISION PART--- as a European, I loved it because, srry, its true (but same with my country lmao)

[MagdaU_]

"The flat share" has a really.... unique starting point. They DO share a bed (& flat) despite not meeting each other for like half the book. Both are real, breathing humans in the same timeline :D
It was super simple, but in a cozy blanket kind of way

STEPH AND JACK BEING TWO SWIFTIES AND BOOKTOK/TUBE ROYALTY IS EVERYTHING I NEEDED IN LIFE

[solarlunar]

I don't know if this sounds stupid but one thing i really love about Jack's videos is that not all of his books are hardcovers, most of them as we can see are paperbacks . Almost every booktuber possesses an insane amount of hardcovers, limited editions . Most of them don't even BUY paperbacks. It always made me feel kind of bad because most of MY books are paperbacks, i only have 4-5 hardcovers, so it's always refreshing to see more people who have paperbacks ( not saying buying hardcovers is bad though)
Thanks for listening to my rant!!

[PokhrajRoy.]

I’m happy that Jack utilises beautiful wordplay and comedic craft mixed with Historical Humour 😂
