Jack! You mention you remember where you were and when you read a book - You should start writing that inside it every time you finish! I feel like that would be such a cool lil tidbit. Maybe add some fun context too. Like (totally making this up to illustrate) "Jack Edwards. Bought in Cambridge August 2018, read in Paris October 2019 by the Seine. Witnessed a stranger trip and spill coffee on a pigeon during Chapter 5."
I'm so gonna do this. Thank you so much for the brilliant idea, phoebebuffay1566. I actually have a postcard collection of around 50 postcards, I remember essentially almost every date I bought the postcards on and who I was with! I think I'll certainly use this idea for that.
Such a good idea, I’m gonna start doing it too!! I write a small review of every book that I read, mainly to try and remember as much as possible, and I’ll add this to my reviews from now on. Thanks!
Posted 37 seconds ago! Excited for this treasure of books ! Also gonna use this comment to ask you again to stop working with Betterhelp as they're really unethical and sell they customers' data. You're usually very socially conscious so I look forward to seeing that reflected in your partnerships and sponsorships.
I’m also slightly uncomfortable with better help partnerships after watching channel 4’s untold doc called ‘I don’t trust my therapist’. Boosting this.
Also offered 6 months of free therapy to IDF soldiers! Appreciate there are often contracts involved but just a really horrible company for many reasons
@@angelicatsapparelli8034completely agree! solidarity means sometimes some uncomfortable decisions have to be made, i think kavernacle(?) has a good in depth video on betterhelp and its israeli ties
Oh wait, 2021 is when I started watching your videos! When you used to do home-y videos like cooking, reviewing hummus, reading like celebrities but you were only at home because of the "pandemi lavota." I remember roomate Adum too, I always wonder how he is sometimes. Ahhh it wasn't just a lifetime ago for you, Jack! Oh, I miss that time too. Your videos were so early-20's-film-main-character core
I have, in fact, watched all of those videos. They were so fun to follow during the pandemic, and I have to thank you for getting me right back into reading (you and sally rooney)!
i got whiplash because those books reminded me of puns you made? like i can't and won't recommend this? or saying, about stargirl, that maybe sometimes bullying is justified?
Wow! I remember most of those videos as well. It really does feel ages ago; I was still at uni back then, and now I am working and all; I got my master's degree as well. Time goes by really fast...
Gosh these books are bringing back memories of your past videos. Just makes me realise how long I've been watching your work. It's been an amazing journey for you.
Strange. I'm from Algeria and never heard of "A bookshop in Algiers". Never thought I would discover my own country's literature with Jack. Never thought I would get there watching his videos lol.
I previously read some of Kaouther Adimi's work and I LOVED it, definitely recommend you read her, she's one of the most famous contemporary Algerian authors
No way, how nostalgic!! Actually felt so sweet to see how delighted you were too - I was in your first 1k subscribers Jack and I’ve seen every video since, what a trip down memory lane 😊💜
some of these books remind me of your transition from unituber to booktuber 🥺 remember your hummus haul? the front door breaking? you having no wifi for ages because they kept delaying the install? 😭
This just made me realise how times flies. Started watching your videos when I was in the 9th grade, and now I'm getting ready for college! Thank you!!
seeing you with the song of achilles book is so nostalgic for me cos that was the first book i read that was recommended from you and ever since then you’ve been my go to for new books to add to my tbr ❤️
This is so delightful! We moved a lot when I was a kid, and then I lent some of my books to my siblings, and a lot of them have been genuinely lost over the years. I really miss some of them in particular, but haven’t repurchased any because they wouldn’t be MY copies. So happy for your reunion!
i love how happy you look in this video!!!! i resonated with you when you said you look at a book and just remember the exact time and place you were when you read it, books are just THE BEST!!!! x
I love your excitement about finding these books. You’re such a nice, sweet young man. I hope that doesn’t offend you. Love you to bits. - A fan in California.
Oh god! That was so nostalgic. I've followed your channel for 5 years. From when I was about to begin my own undergraduate course in English to now when I've completed my masters these books remind me of the happiest and carefree times I had. Some of my best memories include watching your videos and reading the books you recommended. And these books were from some of your videos that I loved the most. The whole Jack Edwards London Era when you were shifting houses and exploring new genres. It reminded me of the videos you made on exploring asian, middle eastern, translated, and I think even banned books. I remember putting on a timer in case I might miss the youtube notification for your next video. Thank you so much for always making such wholesome content. I do hope you keep making these amazing videos and never lose nor fear losing your books. ❤
I watched and remember all these videos!! This was nostalgic for me too because it brought me back to a very special time in my reading life when I started watching your videos and reading way more!
A trip down memorylane indeed! Apparently I've seen all of these videos cause I remember them all :)) some of my favourite videos where in here, like the Taylor Swift and the dark academia one. What a gem of a collection💎
I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning of your studytube days - feel like a proud mum 🥺 this was such a throwback. I was so happy when you transitioned to booktube
Hearing you say like 'this is from so long ago!' is crazy cus I've been with this channel since before the second channel (I think 2020?) and it feels so recent to me haha
It's so fun because you mentioned a lot of videos from 3-4 years ago that I've seen recently, so I still remember those videos but I can't really relate to the glory era or the glory days however I still remember you thanking all of us for your 500k followers and now you have a million (on the main channel)! It's also very fun to see your videos from years ago because you always have something interesting to say :) I'm happy to read more because of your recommandations!
Seeing how happy this made you made me smile so much (maybe for the first time today - don't judge please)! Thank you, Jack, I really needed a little break from my Quantum Mechanics studies 🤯
I am surprised you remembered to drag a camera into your moms garage to record this reunion!! Thank you for doing that. Your enthusiasm is wonderful to see.
this is crazy I started watching your videos around that time so seeing these books reminds me of your old videos and also where I was when I watched them❤❤
Oh my god Jack, SO many good titles I can't imagine feeling like I've lost them! Would've made me ick everyday. Watching this with relief lol it's great that you found them!!!
Jack, that was a gorgeous trip down memory lane 🙂 I've been watching you for two years and every video is a discovery of exciting books :) also adore books of sally rooney
I remember these! I remember being so excited you started doing booktube because i already watched other BT channels and I had started watching your channel when you started at Durham so now one of my faves became booktuber 🥳
This video is like a lost treasure found 😅 i am so worried of the books back home that I haven't gotten a chance to open 😕 worried if they would he as intact as yours
It's like finding money in a forgotten pair of jeans but better! Much better 🤩 Btw we have the same edition of Fahrenheit 451 and To kill a mockingbird, feels so cool! 😄

wait thats lowkey cute. like imagine thrifting a book and its got details about the last persons reading experience
This is such a cute and wholesome idea! I want to start doing this from now on 🥰
This feels like watching an archeological excavation 😂
As a qualified archaeologist, I second this
It's like finding that one book or school picture from your childhood.
The fact that I could recognise all these books from your previous videos and I knew exactly what you thought of them at time is literally absurd 😂
YES!
Do you remember where Jack read 'Train to Pakistan?'
omg u should totally make a video of u adding all of them to ur library id love to watch that!!
I agree

this just unlocked the random memory of how jake would call the pandemic everything but the actual word
I have, in fact, watched all of those videos. They were so fun to follow during the pandemic, and I have to thank you for getting me right back into reading (you and sally rooney)!
i got whiplash because those books reminded me of puns you made? like i can't and won't recommend this? or saying, about stargirl, that maybe sometimes bullying is justified?
@@kabina7994 omg same! especially with so sad today when he was like: and this book made me so sad today lol
i just moved and am slowly finding all of my childhood books and let me tell you its the best feeling on this earth
I’m going to hide a box of books in my parents house to surprise myself with later
Wow! I remember most of those videos as well. It really does feel ages ago; I was still at uni back then, and now I am working and all; I got my master's degree as well. Time goes by really fast...
I really want a video of you putting these on your shelves/reorganising! I go back to your home library video a LOT because it’s so satisfying!!
Jack's collection of books absent from his shelf is wayyyy more interesting and more in number than the books present on my shelf.
Gosh these books are bringing back memories of your past videos. Just makes me realise how long I've been watching your work. It's been an amazing journey for you.
Strange. I'm from Algeria and never heard of "A bookshop in Algiers". Never thought I would discover my own country's literature with Jack. Never thought I would get there watching his videos lol.

I wanna experience this kind of unexpected happiness
No way, how nostalgic!! Actually felt so sweet to see how delighted you were too - I was in your first 1k subscribers Jack and I’ve seen every video since, what a trip down memory lane 😊💜
thank you so so so much for sticking with me
crazy how I remember most of the videos these books were in
that dark academia video tho, need a part 2 of that
some of these books remind me of your transition from unituber to booktuber 🥺 remember your hummus haul? the front door breaking? you having no wifi for ages because they kept delaying the install? 😭
Please, if you haven't read Purple Hibiscus yet please read it soon. Its so good.
This just made me realise how times flies. Started watching your videos when I was in the 9th grade, and now I'm getting ready for college! Thank you!!
i just adore the look on his face the whole time, you can literally see him smiling like a lil ray of sunshine
I feel so nostalgic since i saw all the videos where these books are from
seeing you with the song of achilles book is so nostalgic for me cos that was the first book i read that was recommended from you and ever since then you’ve been my go to for new books to add to my tbr ❤️

So happy for you! I know what it is to lose your home library (twice now) so to see you find a chunk of yours is insane.
this is the nostalgic cozy feeling i needed today omg - i remember all of these videos and the rainbow bookshelf!! 🥹
This video was so happy! Such a good feeling being reunited with what was thought lost.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ADAM SILVERA IS YOUR FRIEND?! Jack literally has the best job in the world!! I can't even imagine being friends with an author... wow
Same! And mine had a really earlymcopy,of Breakfast of Champions, so I was so happy I found it!
Jack, please please please make a video recommending books for each song on The Tortured Poets Department! From one book-loving Swiftie to another…
YES please do this!!
Oh I love those older Penguin editions with the illustrations and the pale yellow/cream edging.
I watched and remember all these videos!! This was nostalgic for me too because it brought me back to a very special time in my reading life when I started watching your videos and reading way more!
A trip down memorylane indeed! Apparently I've seen all of these videos cause I remember them all :)) some of my favourite videos where in here, like the Taylor Swift and the dark academia one. What a gem of a collection💎
please make the podcast audio and visual !!!
p.s. I love most of these books !!!
It's so nostalgic and so moving finding your old books and reminding us of beloved old videos ❤❤
Had Jack not "lost" these books, he would've achieved the library goal (1000 books) much earlier!
Ooh! So exciting - wish I could find two boxes of books 📚!
I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning of your studytube days - feel like a proud mum 🥺 this was such a throwback. I was so happy when you transitioned to booktube
Ooohh perfect watch for my chill Saturday evening
not me thinking i was just a casual viewer and then gradually realizing I've read like 30 of those books because jack had recommended them
I lost a box on my last move. It was my favorites so I have been slowly replacing them. It's cool you found your box, how miraculous!
I remember ALL of these books from videos and some of them I have since picked up on your recomendation
All my favourite books in that box, literally 😅
Wow, it's like Christmas. This is so exciting for you!!
Your rainbow bookshelf in Camden somehow feels like yesterday to me. 🤷🏽♂️🤔🙃
need a vid of you adding these to the library please!!!
this made me realise for how long I’ve been following you
When I hear climbing shoes… 😮 u climb Jack?! I joined my uni climbing society in October and am loving bouldering. Loving!
I remember falling in love with your channel in like 2019 and what a ride it has been❤
I NEED a video of the books finding their proper home in the home library. Pretty please?
I didn’t realize I’d been watching you this long until you said 2021 and I remember all of these and when u lost this!
This made me remember all of the books that I said I was gonna read when you recommended them but never got around to it
Hearing you say like 'this is from so long ago!' is crazy cus I've been with this channel since before the second channel (I think 2020?) and it feels so recent to me haha
It's so fun because you mentioned a lot of videos from 3-4 years ago that I've seen recently, so I still remember those videos but I can't really relate to the glory era or the glory days however I still remember you thanking all of us for your 500k followers and now you have a million (on the main channel)! It's also very fun to see your videos from years ago because you always have something interesting to say :)
I'm happy to read more because of your recommandations!
thank you Jack for personally congratulating me. I have in fact watched all of those videos
Seeing how happy this made you made me smile so much (maybe for the first time today - don't judge please)! Thank you, Jack, I really needed a little break from my Quantum Mechanics studies 🤯
It would be really cool if you did a video reading the most popular book by country (for example countries in Asia or South America)
I've had this rediscovery of a book box, and it's like Christmas. I think you'll have an unhaul to do now. ;D
its giving treasure trove 😣😣💗
Wow !! It’s like finding a treasure 🥺🥹🧡
I am surprised you remembered to drag a camera into your moms garage to record this reunion!! Thank you for doing that. Your enthusiasm is wonderful to see.
I, for one, would listen to your chat with Min Jin Lee.
Yes I've been here since the glory days and hell YES this is the best reunion episode of all time 🥹🥹🥹
this is crazy I started watching your videos around that time so seeing these books reminds me of your old videos and also where I was when I watched them❤❤
Oh my god Jack, SO many good titles I can't imagine feeling like I've lost them! Would've made me ick everyday. Watching this with relief lol it's great that you found them!!!
i nremember the one rainbow bookshelf😭😭and that you hated ''circle''
oh my gosh these books🥺♥♥♥ I remember Winter in Sockcho was given by Sammy
Omg FERNANDO PESSOA? This tuga is proud.
How do people read poetry collections? Do you stop after every poem to analyze it or do you read multiple at one go
Jack, that was a gorgeous trip down memory lane 🙂 I've been watching you for two years and every video is a discovery of exciting books :) also adore books of sally rooney
"By the canal I sat and wept"
I recommend reading the Arabian poems! Similar style to Mahmoud Darwish
I remember these! I remember being so excited you started doing booktube because i already watched other BT channels and I had started watching your channel when you started at Durham so now one of my faves became booktuber 🥳
Like meeting up with old friends - the "conversation" continues as if there hasn't been a skip in time 🙂
Can you read Alex Verus series. It's set in Camden in London, you'd enjoy recognising all the places 😀
I am so glad I watched this, I had no idea Watermelon Sugar was inspired by a book. Now it's on my TBR!
Oh my god the memories! What a time capsule! (Or tome capsule?)
I somehow remember you stacking these books in these boxes!!!!!
nizam kabbani is AN ICON in the world of arabic writing!!!
This was as nostalgic for us as it was for you! ❤
On tiiiime, like im out here on a sunday morning to buy a freshly made baguette!
Podcast?? :D Can't wait!
I just want a tour in your library now 😂
productivity is a good part of my algorithm, so I actually found your channel through the self help books video 💕💕💕
As soon as you started pulling them out I was like weren’t these in the rainbow shelf?? And then you said they were lol
Love Archie’s cameo
This felt Ike a trip down memory lane!
This video is like a lost treasure found 😅 i am so worried of the books back home that I haven't gotten a chance to open 😕 worried if they would he as intact as yours
Im watching this and hoping it acts a luck token so I can find my missing books
It's like finding money in a forgotten pair of jeans but better! Much better 🤩 Btw we have the same edition of Fahrenheit 451 and To kill a mockingbird, feels so cool! 😄
We love a fun archiving moment!
the way I remembered EVERY SINGLE VIDEO. biggest flex
