this is giving "5 year old setting up the fake supermarket" vibes and honestly? slay.
This one wins lol. very adorable, very accurate!
A thousand times yes
It absolutely is and I’m SO here for it. Especially when he got to the till.
This is honestly such a fun and cozy video for this reason haha, I wish it were longer!
A little kid playing with his dolls 😂😂😂
Jack: my job.. is just.. book.
Us: and what a good job you do at book!
Omg. I just realized this is a Barbie reference.
he books better than ken beaches!
Jack is totally the type of person who’d have the indie bookstore with best vibes.
so true
@@DontReadMyProfilePicture.104ok
"There's a fly in the room, is that my first customer?" killed me XD
This man is sooo unserious I just can't help falling in love with him every time
And that's why sorting books alphabetically by author names is superior - you don't have to endlessly search for specific books
It also make it more like a bookstore
Yes! The chaos that some people live in with shelves not in order baffles me!
honestly i just know what colors my books are really well so it’s easy to find them with rainbow order :) but yeah alphabetical seems easier haha
ms blu--how do you think your comment made jack feel?
@@adah5195same!!!
I'm always getting caught by surprise by Jack's unhinged decisions and I love it 😂❤
It's like the bookshop in Good Omens - absolutely beautiful, but doesn't actually sell any books. Both the best and worst bookshop ever at the same time 😂
This is literally a perfect comparison
Jack 🤝🏼 Aziraphale
having a personal library and passing it off as a book store
It’s also giving "Jim organised my books alphabetically by first sentence so now I can’t find AntHiNG" so it’s perfect on every level.
Honestly, if Jack ever had a bookshop in real life, I'd fully expect it to be called Read the Room. 🤣❣️
I really think you should keep the room in this layout! Every month, you could have your current faves as those facing outwards, and keep your monthly TBR on the island! Plus, it's just happy vibes :)
literal goals tbh, experiencing the dopamine rush of walking into a bookstore and seeing so many beautiful book covers, but at home, for free. Genius.
This video was so much fun! I work in a book shop, and i can tell you that writing those little recommendation notes, and people trusting them enough to buy the book is pure joy! And if they then come back and say they loved the book and want more recommendations?? Christmas!
at this point, jack could really open a book exhibition, let's be honest-
For real! His upcoming video in 6 months:
@@shruti9268 bahahahaha yes🤭🤭😭
@@shruti9268 by the way, gurll your pfp is ELITE. 💅✨✨
@@vesperxverse thank you gurlll~
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.104 wasn't gonna anyway.
Sorry for making this about me, but I just want to let you know that I started watching you a year ago and you have inspired me to pursue a Literature degree. I just finished at community college and I’ll be transferring to my dream university in a couple of months at an unconventional age because watching your channel made me realize that I would not be satisfied with my life if I didn’t just go for it. Your channel is inspiring and really makes me excited about reading and writing books.
this is the most wholesome content ever, from jack building his dream library to playing pretend as an independent book seller.
This is so perfect!
This is so genius
haley what r u doing here🤭
Hayleyyyyy....I love ur vids.
Hi
This is giving me the vibes of when my grandparents let me convert their living room into a library with my papa's recliner and TV tray my desk to check out books. Each wall was their own genre, they were signs to be quiet, and every book in the house had a library card in it. It stayed that way for years. #notspoiled 😂
"My toy to play with now" only Jack Edwards can say it for a room filled with books... 😂
As a Waterstones employee, you absolutely nailed it!! My favourite thing is setting up the displays and writing reviews for books I love ☺️
This is such a perfect and wholesome idea! Absolutely Indie bookstore pinterest vibes.
totally!
I wish jack would state his opinion about the recent Audible drama about the prices and how they are basically monopolistic in the audio book industry.. it’s sad and needs more people to talk about it..
The facing books on the middle shelf look incredible, I was already in love with it from your last video, but gosh
Yesss, I noticed in last video too. It looks amazing!
I just love Jack Edwards! he motivates me to read soooooo much!!
same!!
The Woman in Black is actually short. The edition I read had 160 pages. This edition includes four other ghost stories by Susan Hill.
I'm glad you commented! I was sitting here like, 'I do NOT remember this book being so long when I studied it for English'
This brought me so much joy! "Read the Room Bookstore" is the perfect name!
Soooo you legit just created my dream. I want to be an independent bookstore so badly, just terrified of the financial burdens that might hit my family.
Same 😭😭
If this was a real public book shop I would come every day!
My one real dream in life is to have a home library/ cafe that people could drop by and borrow/ buy for a donation or completely free. Just in like a detached shed. So this is serious vibes.
I just feel like there arent enough free places people can go to simply be and some places don't have accessible libraries
I feel kinda proud when I realise that I can recognise most of the books just by their spines.
Am I tripping? Aren't the names on the spines? 😭
@@mirimarianaIn Jack's video you can't always see the titles but if you know the book you'll recognise them just by their colors and design.
I laughed so much when you said " I turned my home library to bookshop ", my mom always say that to me saying if I sell my books I can make fortune but no my books are the richness it self 😂
Same. I’m a stay at home mom, but make enough money to pay my own bills by painting and donating plasma.. but sometimes I do struggle to pay something and my husband says “you can just sell your books” pffff as if. I tell him they are an investment lol.. they’ll be my kid’s books one day too.
@@rubyanddelilahandnani yes totally right books are meant to be for generation not only for us, I was building my own library since I was a little one and it grows with me, some people spent their money on vacation, expensive clothes a d nothing goes wrong with that of they have money but for me having more books is my ultimate target, I am now 46 and I have more than 6000 books, let's see if I could have more in the future which almost is a crazy decision to make right now due to the economic crises but I did put honestly the September month of every year to buy some books especially English because I really don't have so much and this is making me frustrated and angry due to their expensive prices. If someone could gifted me some I will be so thankful and delightful. Thanks for stopping by and comment. Wish you a good health
As a bookseller, this made me giggle the entire video
This is 12 minutes and 54 seconds of joy and play. More of this in life please!!!!
This was a fun video to watch!
Suggestion: Jake maybe consider doing a series interviewing and/or a day in the life of a someone working in books: author, editor, bookstore keeper, someone that works in archives, a book binder, a collector of rare books, and someone with a unique private library etc!
that's such a good idea!
"READ THE ROOM" is a fantastic name for a bookstore tbh?!!!
Jack's play pretend is our entertainment. Thanks Jack! 🤓
Jack is a child with 0 self control who thinks he can do anything trapped in a adults body… and I am so in love with thoes vibes
The ending is giving Aziraphale doing everything in his power to not sell one single book
"...everything the light touches is your kingdom." 😂 Great bookdom!
Is this a bookshop or a pharmacy? Jack really hitting us with that unreadable derpy handwritting. Dont take it personally, im just jealous of the library and disposable income lol
This video is just made with humour, lots of sweat, and a lot of vibes ❤😂
Just bought my first house and the idea for the library was exactly to make into a bookstore for myself! The closet has stationery and totebags, the table in the middle has all the 12 editions of Outlander I own ❤
the bunny placement is killing me for gods sake jack put it in the middle!!!!!!!!!! it should've been where mrs. S was!!!!!!!!!!!
also in the japanese fiction the two pink books side by side and the red on top WHERE is the color composition jack WHERE
You nailed the vibe! Logistically, the only thing you could've done to elevate it more is to organize them by genre, then author.
oh my gosh... When I have enough room to have my library be it's own thing I am 1000% doing this. It is giving me so much joy watching this.
im usually a quiet audience and doesn’t comment here but i NEED a video of jack organizing the shelves like how libraries do!! it’s the former library staff and INFJ in me that i just have to watch it 🥲🫠
This is giving ME when i was little, with everything i had, i made boutiques of my clothes, a shoe store, bookstore, stationery shop, a miscellaneous store (very creative ha ha), obviously a toy store and what not..... this video made me so happy
Jack! Your bookstore looks FANTASTIC, and you’ve given me many ideas for my own bookshelves! Thank you!❤️
I laughed so hard when I thought of you turning your whole appartment into a bookstore and every furniture in every room is just used as a book display 😂
It reminds me of the tiny room-bookshop that sprung up in my local train station. If I saw pictures of that on google, I'd definitely think bookstore
The thumbnail itself gives me serotonin ❤
It is really giving of cozy bookshop vibe... that we come across in a small deserted alley... between the city rush. Really cool!!! Loved the video ✨
I would love to come to this book store😩The dedication.
Hi, you should keep the set up. It looks cool. You can change the sign to 'TBR' and 'Most Anticipated' instead. Therefore displaying your new books. Sorry for the broken english.
Love that you share your honest ideas with us …
Makes me feel like I am not alone 😊
i nearly cried watching this. its so beautiful. you are living the dream.
Looks like an actual bookstore INCREDIBLE JOB Jack amazing work! ❤
This video made me smile so much. This is peak of 'doing what makes you happy.'
Jack you are the absolute cutest!
Your love and enthusiasm for your books is infectious!! Youve just taken the childhood home corner role play to true bibliophile level!!
Love you amd your videos and I look forward to the bext one!! 🙂
I subscribed because of your library - and it looks so GOOD as an independent eclectic bookstore ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please keep playing around with your library, you are putting dreams to reality! 🤗🤗🤗
seeing your new books, I'm excited. I saw that you were learning french when you were in Paris, honestly for learning a language, reading books in that language is so helpful, especially when you passionate about it
All the cloth binds are gorgeous. Jack did such a great job. I loved this type of video from him.
the master and margarita is one of the best books i’ve ever read, its just incredible
Well Done Jack!! Love your cozy book shop!
OBESSED love it much Jack and your library is amazing gorgeous ❤
The till is the best bit!!!! LOVE IT ALL THOUGH 💕⭐
My new favorite video. Love this so much! Thanks Jack!
The way I adore this video and the idea in itself😍 Now I’m all excited to do something new with my reading corner!
This whole video is serotonin ❤
I started watching your videos in the middle of the night when I just had my daughter and of course didn’t sleep for months 🤣 I still watch you now she’s 2 and she recognises your voice and it instantly comforts her 🥹 so thank you for getting me through the insanity of sleep deprivation x ur a real 1 x
I love this and I would be tempted to leave part of it up to perhaps spark reading or writing ideas. Just needs a rug and a cosy chair/lamp/side table!😊
This really just kept getting better. I love the dedication but also I know want my own home library to play with. And the lines killed me! Dark jackademia!! 😂😂
i love this sm it looks amazing
This just kept getting better and better, love how much fun he had with it !!
Such good vibes for starting my day on a great note !! Spot on creation definitely
OMG! Looks absolutely amazing job Jack love it ❤
This is the most wholesome video I've watched all year 💖
this was ahonestly such an endearing video. i was smiling from beginning to end. jack your energy is truly infectious
not me being shocked at how cute this book shop turned out. I’m genuinely smiling at this 😂
Wow such a great idea! ❤ I loved the commitment and the display. It looks awesome. 🤩
Hope you write more books you are amazing writer and so talented and gifted Jack 😊
Jack doing my everyday job : THIS IS SO MUCH FUNNNN !
This actually made me realize after a hard work shift that my job is amazing. Thank you
As a bookstore worker this is exactly how I go about shelving things and it's so sweet to see someone enjoying it
I love it. The library looks incredible 😍 I will definitely do it in the future.
the shaky camerawork really ties it all together
It looks amazing!!!
This is everything!! 😍
Gorgeous! I hope you keep it this way 🥰
Oh this just made me really happy, seeing how much fun you have
Love this! We all need little indie book stores in our homes. Such a vibe.
This is definitely one of my fav vids, I mean, I enjoy each video that gets uploaded, but this one, specifically, gave me so much joy
"I love them all dearly", whilst having Dune in the background 😂
I love everything about this. ❤
It is very beautiful and lovely with enough space like yours
this is so delightful! all it needs is a cosy reading nook
Okay this is just SO SATISFYING. It looks so fricken good 😍
I’m moving our *big bookshelf* into my room soon so, get ready for me to make an even more budget version of this 🤣
7:27 You can still display them like that - not extra storage needed, just "hide" behind some other small books. It works best with deeper bookcases, but yours also can be done like that.
I have some of Terry Pratchett's books displayed like that (with similar covers that your books have) - and some of my books hidden behind (the ones I have already read AND are not that good looking). And also some other stuff hidden behind bigger books as my bookcases are multi storage solutions (so behind big album about architecture I store noodles and groats as I don't have enough space in my kitchenette 😆)
EDIT: I think that now that library loos better then before. And you can change books that are on display :)
Looooved this! You made me want to put up small recommendation signs on my bookshelves too!
This is really fun. I want a TBR table :) I visited Marseille public library last year and they have purposely emulated a bookshop vibe in their graphic novel & comic section. It worked fantastically.
The clothbound classics are gorgeous. I would always want to display them facing forward.
