I trust Jack's book recs more than anyone else suggesting me a good book.

[nchampagne]

i like how jack says "harry is a huge murakami fan" as if they are best friends who go bookshopping together and exchange books every week

[faithannerush]

Oh my goodness finally a book-recommendation video where I haven’t read ANYTHING. I’m only halfway through, but I’m excited to get some of these! You’re so good at intricately describing these books, thanks Jack!

[juliarosetwamley]

When you mentioned Alone With You in the Ether it made me remember the beautiful book dedication “for the old you, from the old me” and made me think it’d would be cool to do a video on favourite book dedications or something! There’s lots of funny ones out there too

[connorwolfe]

We are being absolutely spoiled lately on both your channels! 😊

[secretlyamacat]

watching these videos takes me like 5 times as long as the video is because i end up looking every single book on goodreads and adding them to my tbr

[caoimhenolan]

Jack giving us the greatest gift right here, absolute legend

[divincenzomariapaz]

Jack I can't stress enough how incredible your recommendations are, I am positive now that you could get any person on Earth into reading more. So grateful to have found your channel!

[nathaliaalves]

i would love a video on books that remind you of albums!! seeing mary oliver for taylor swift's folklore just left me wanting more recommendations based on music

[readread]

We have been FED by Jack recently!!! THANKS JACK FOR THE RECS!!!!

[jennasock]

this is my favorite book series that YouTubers do!! even if I’m not interested in some of the books i just absolutely love hearing about them

[momome]

i truly have to say jacks videos always make me a bit less worried about everything else going on. it takes my concentration just enough to not have to think about all the things i'm stressing about but i also get to just have a laugh and think about like carelessly reading a book when i'm okay again. i just really appreciate these videos.

[Hannah-mkqv]

Would you ever consider doing a video ranking greek mythology retellings? I would absolutely LOVE to hear your thoughts on them, from a fellow retelling lover:)

[brigri]

Really happy to see you're enjoying Baldwin's writing. I'd be interested to see your 'modern classics' recommendations or recommendations based on authors/writing style someone already enjoys

[youcanguessmyname]

Can we have a “judging my viewers book shelves” please???

[smw]

As someone obsessed with books (fiction and nonfiction) about disease and death, those are incredible recommendations. I absolutely love both of those books

[sergeyrafirudov]

I'm just genuinely blow away with how wide read you are and how much you remember and appreciate each and every single one of them. I can barely remember the books I read last year and I would never be able to come up with such great book recommendations. Also none of these books seem to be widely popular and perhaps overlooked, which even attests further to your wide-read-ness (idk what word to use). The world doesn't deserve you Jack xx

[pagedewolfe]

This is such a great idea for a theme and these recommendations do not disappoint! I hope you do this a few times a year!

[theimpossiblesomething]

Please make this a series!

I’d love to see the prompts get weirder and weirder 😂
