[Dear_recipient]

I have a kind of book of the month thing going on because for Christmas my sister got me a box of books, each is wrapped, each labels have a month n them and some quotes about the books. So it’s a mystery book of the month sort of thing. It’s one of the best presents I’ve ever received

Jack finally reading babel after saying he wouldn't do it is the character development I need in 2023

[books]

YOU HAVE A LIBRARY NOW!!! (Do you?)
Well, if I remember correctly you were really close lol.
Have a happy year of reading everyone!

[ayushiarya]

The amount of happiness jack Edwards videos bring to my heart is unexplainable

i finished '' the seven husbands of evelyn hugo'' yesterday and i never cried that hard, lol literally. this book destroyed me, but hell im excited to read more!

[miggs]

Jack, may I preface this by saying I don’t mean to rush you or sound ungrateful as a viewer. But are you going to make a “What I read in 2022?” or a “My favourite reads of 2022?”. No rush, I just wanted to know. Thanks for making reading cool 👌🏾

[lauradone]

In the dream house is such an important book, you learn a lot. The choose your own path chapter was jarring and really shows you what it's like to be in an abusive relationship.

[nadiaderry-third]

petition for jack to do a reading challenge where he only reads the top rated fan fiction on ao3

[mimi__core]

im almost 23 and got into reading for the first time in my life thanks to you and carley, i just wanted to thank you for it because i have been loving it!! ill definitely write down a couple of books you mentioned here that sparked my attention!! sending hugs for the new year to you jack! ♡

Babel changed my life. I had never felt so seen. I devoured that book. Especially as a female of colour working in a very white-male occupation that is meant to "serve queen and country", and who went to a gothic, secluded ( also predominantly white and male) university on a peninsula that was preparing us for that occupation, I felt like R.F. Kuang looked into my soul and wrote my experiences on a page. There were some parts/conversations in the book that were so accurate and that mirrored my real life experiences so well that I felt like she had spied on my life and the wrote a book about it. At least the beginning part.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the book Jack. I wrote a similar comment on Ruby Granger's video because she picked up the book recently too, so I guess you guys will be reading it at the same time. I have never been so excited for two people to read a book. Can't wait to hear your opinion on it in a future video!

[okaydokeymonkeyfunky]

I read I who have never known men last year and it was one of my favorites. I can absolutely recommend it and its so quick to read you can read it in a few hours. And It might not be what you think it is. :)

[novemberninth]

I'm aiming to read 50 books this year and so far I''ve read 5. Jack, you're gonna add more books to my piling TBR! 😆😆Good luck to everyone aiming to read a lot this year! You've got this!

[khalilahd.]

Every time I don’t think he can get any more unhinged he posts a new video 😅❤ I absolutely love it and can’t wait for the reviews this year

[hueningkaj]

Young Mungo was one of my favorite books of 2022. I read it as an ARC and bought a physical copy as soon as it came out. I really hope you enjoy it as it instantly became one of my favorite books ever!!

[erin]

I just read 'I Who Have Never Known Men' in December. And honestly, it's now one of my all-time favourites. It took me a bit to get into but after I got over that, I was addicted. I found it so intriguing, I couldn't put it down. I don't know if I'll ever be able to stop thinking about it tbh

[cassandracooke]

I Who Have Never Known Men has been one of my all time favorite reads that truly looks into what makes us human, what makes love, and friendship. I am crazy enough to have gotten my favorite line from the book tattooed on me!

[jasonthomas]

In The Dream House is INCREDIBLE!! One of the best memoirs I've ever read. Machado is a genius
