Honestly, I think we have all earned a silly/cheesy Christmas read this year. Predictable, safe, and relaxing.

hey completely random idea, maybe you don’t relate since it’s clearly your passion, but I would love a video about how you make time to read so much, or decide what to read

My new year's resolution was to read a book a week, and I'm on the 44th one rn!! I was just reading "Days at the Morisaki Bookshop" when the notification popped up on my screen and I see you holding the sequel!!

"sometimes we need a little charcuterie board in our lives and christmas is the time for.. cheese" so good lol

I've just finished 'Stoner' by John Williams and I am genuinely surprised by how much I loved it. It's a book that exceptionally navigates the ways in which ordinary people grapple with the presence of absence and the ways in which they attempt to carve meaning in their lives. It's a book that exists in the shadow of a stoic silence as it explores the passion keeping a life ignited and the loneliness that manages to creep and settle into one's bones while doing so.

bestie got me onto piranesi, honestly my favorite book, I have a paperback that I borrow out to friends and a hardcover to love and protect. so many people say it got them out of their reading rut. thank you bestie.

Sadly I felt the exact same way about The Pumpkin Spice Cafe and The Christmas Tree Farm. The covers and small town cozy vibes were a 10/10, but the characters weren’t likable or memorable at all. 😭 I prefer cozy mysteries when I need a cozy fix. Oftentimes they’ll have an array of lovable, whacky characters and a slow burn romance that is just perfection.

Wait what about Intermezzo, you owe us an explanation darling

Hi Jack! I love your content, but I'm also having a request. I've always been a really slow reader and I am also a super busy person which leaves me almost no time to read. I watch my tbr list grow longer and longer but I'm afraid it's just unrealistic for me to read all these books before I retire. Could you maybe do a video about books you think someone with little time on their hands should absolutely read? Just a small collection of "Everybody should've read that". Maybe also books who won't take someone busy 3-4 months to finish (which is for me 1000 pages approx). I'd love to see something like this. Keep up the good content and have a beautiful Christmas!

I am reading Mammoth right now after hearing you talk about Boulder and Permafrost and devouring them myself!!

[GiblikJovanovic]

it's really crazy how nobody is talking about the book the hidden path to manifesting financial power

[matildemortensen]

For so long I have been wanting to read "Just kids" by Patti Smith, and finally my mom got it for me on December 1st and I love her for that!!

I miss reading wrap ups. Havent seen one on this channel since this summer.

Just started the pumpkin spice cafe, I also have the 2 other books in the series for my cozy reads this year and try to finish them before EOY. I also have the Morisaki Bookshop series which I will be including on my next year’s TBR..

Christmas themed books this year are just ABSOLUTELY SLAPPING. On the track to finish reading 30k pages this year but its a pretty tight deadline. Anyways love the videos and Merry Christmas!

God I m reading Christmas tree farm and I needed something exactly like what you described!! V Christmassy, breezy, warm, cozy and requires no thought. I have been v burnt out lately- gonna take some time to read for some days and recharge.

The end of year ambition hits hard. My last final is on the 23rd and I have at least 4 books I plan to finish that last week of the year.
