Jack said Maeve is everyone's favourite book nerd... except he doesn't know HE is everyone's favourite book nerd
Right!!!?
facts
Yes!!
The truth!
Facts
Jack giving Othello spoiler: it's a classic, you've had time.
Me, salty for the spoiler: Lol sorry, I was born recently.
this killed me
Same😂
Yeah, some of us are under 420-450 years old. XD
U r under 400 years old ? Pffffffft , such a kid.
Haha yess, well you had 400 times, you've had time haha
"I don't know if I want to BE Maeve Wiley or if I want to be WITH Maeve Wiley" is how I'm gonna describe my bisexuality from now on
I second this
Legendary
EXACTLY THIS-
This is the most legendary comment, I feel the same way
@@pheebsvegetable omg thank uu
Maeve Wiley is most definitely a Hozier stan…you should read his book recommendations:D
I LOVE HOZIER !!!
That was smooth.
You’re doing the lordes work
@Umamaheswari G on the contrary I am getting both tired and hopeless but might as well keep going right 🤪
I'm a Hozier Stan.
I can't help but watch Jack's videos & wonder "HOW IS HE READING THAT MANY BOOKS IN SO LITTLE TIME??"
To be fair I think he has read some of those titles before such as Othello
as Beatriz mentioned already, he knows a lot of these titles already. He has talked about both The Bell Jar and Emma several times on this channel already, he already knew Othello and listened to the Jane Austen novel as an audiobook so all that saves A LOT of time
And isn't this his Job?
@@Jay-ru6kn but you can listen to them while cooking, walking etc. and you can‘t do that with reading. So it does save time because you can multitask
@@witchymary5246 no he has a job in the publishing industry i think which is crazy that he’s doing both
01:12 Othello by Shakespeare
03:22 The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
04:46 Silas Marner by George Elliot
06:20 Middlemarch by George Elliot
08:44 Lady Susan by Jane Austen
09:54 Emma by Jane Austen
11:36 Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri
11:50 We should all be feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
12:30 A Vindication of the rights of women by Mary Wollstonecraft
13:05 A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf
Timestamps for when I want to rewatch the video ♥️✨
Thank you!!
13:06 A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf
Tahnsk
Thank you
You didn’t add the plant giving up. 😹
"Thee men, be thy trash" is officially one of my favourite quotes
Does that mean "you men, be your trash"?
“She was a Jane Austen fan”
Me: So…a Jane Au-stan? 😅
I love that 💛😂
This is criminally underrated
wow im in love with that haha
I LOVE MAEVE- and tbh isn’t everyone’s thing complex female characters
It should be.
Yepp
Isn't she a complex female character?
Yep
word.
"I can't believe my plant just gave up" I AM DEAD
lol so is the plant
@@jack_edwards oh no, too much 😂
@@jack_edwards shit.
@@jack_edwards lmfao
It was the ghost of Jane Austen not liking your criticism
Fun fact I met and worked with Emma Mackey(Maeve) and she's such a sweet heart and down to earth 💕
oh this is so so so lovely to hear!!
How DARE YOU be so much better than all of us?
@@sorcellerie your to cute bahaha
AAAA LUCKY
On what project did you work with her?
"It was written 400 years ago, you've had time"
Why was that so funny?
So so funny 😄
I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE MAKING THIS. I wanna read all the books she reads cause she's an openly feminist character who reads a lot of feminist literature
Me too!!!
I used to read a lot in primary school but kinda almost dropped it in middle school and high school. Maeve, as a matter of fact inspired me to get back into it.
I started rewatching the show since season 3 is coming out friday and i literally said today "i wish jack would make a video reading everything maeve did" icons recognizing icons
you manifested it 🕯 thank you for your service
lol yup
You should do all the books Dan Humphrey form “Gossip Girl” recommends and then do all the books Joe Goldberg from “You” recommends. Since both characters are into books and are played by the same actor. Would be cool.
Actually he’s already done Joe’s books if you want to check it out :)
@@Carla-kg5eo what video?
@Carla really? What’s the video? cause I’ve only seen one other UA-camr do that and it wasn’t Jack
The Joe Goldberg vid was made by a guy called John fish
Agreed
When Jack started talking about the problem of women history being written by men I remembered a book I’ve read by Svetlana Alexievich called “War’s Unwomanly Face” (or something like that), and it’s a book about the WWII from the point of view of female USSR veterans. It’s a very heavy read and I think it’s not largely available in English, but if someone here knows Russian or finds an English copy I highly recommend it. It is short, but each story is so heavy and triggering that it took me several months to go through, so be careful with it. But also… I think it’s a very important historical piece about the war, because in Soviet Union the WWII was always shown as the period of Soviet glory and strength while all dirty stories were hidden under the rug. Men were celebrating this war, but women experienced something they were never meant to (considering all the conservative views on women at that time), and for them the WWII is another story than what was celebrated
I love that book, it made me weep, had to read it in spanish for a course of oral history.
I think the name is “The unwomanly face of war” but I’m not that sure either.
I read one of Alexievich's other novels, Chernobyl Prayer / Voices From Chernobyl (it's printed in English with two different titles), and had similar reading experience. It's a dark but an important account from voices you don't hear from in history books. I believe Alexievich has a background in journalism which really enriches her work.
just found an english version on amazon, ordered straight away! thank you 💓
all of her books are amazing, “Zinky boys” is another one, this one gathers memoirs of family members and actual survivors or the afgan-russian war.
@@paulall221 same! I cried a lot while reading… I want to read her other books, but this one really drained me emotionally. That’s why I’m a little bit nervous about her other works (since all the topics she covers are pretty heavy). I’ll keep in mind the Zinky boys though!
I love this man CONTINUOUSLY expressing his stance as a feminist!!
the world needs more Jacks. period.
I watched Season 1 and 2 of Sex Education for the first time this summer and besides falling in love with the main cast, my biggest takeaway was how much the soundtrack was perfection. It's just so damn good!
RIGHT!?!?!?! so many bops!
@@jack_edwards So good! It is major main character syndrome for reals. It's such a driving in the car vibe.
A lot of it is done by Ezra Furman who is fantastic! You should check them out on Spotify :)
@@aknee3042 I noted that when I found the playlist on youtube.
Yuhhh!!! I started the show interested in how the show was gonna portray sex for teens and ended up loving it more for the characters and plot. It makes you soooo aware of how as a teen, you should not worry about sex and all that and normalizes what has been seen as taboo by so many. The flaws of the characters make me love them even more!!!
Jack would you be able to film a video on the books that Matilda reads in both the film and the book?
Omg yes
Omg, I love Matilda.
That would be wonderful
That would be amazing
oh that is SUCH AN AMAZING IDEA.
Me. bought Othello in a used book shop on saturday
Jack: spoils the book for me on tuesday
I AM SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU BUT I REALLY LAUGHED
@@suhanashaikh242 something good came out of my bad luck lol
@@AraMiluu i highly empathise 😂🫂
I mean.. That sucks - but you had 400 years to read it
@@idunnn.h.3792 I’ve been alive for only 22 of them sadly and Shakespeare is not that common to read where I’m from
Would love an Anya Taylor-Joy book recommendations vid at some point too! I love this series :)
Is Maeve one of my favourite fictional characters ever? Yes!
I really like your video ideas and your personality. Thank you for your bookish content, always puts a smile on my face! :)
Oh my lord!!!! Maeve + Jack = the serotonin boost I needed so badly
"My attention span is the length of a tiktok" may be my favorite line. Historians will study this in the future.
I’m from Finland and ”We shoud all be feminists” was given to us when we were at grade 9! Like all nineth graders in Finland were given it. Very nice essey
Minä vuonna olit ysillä? Ei taieta enää antaa
"Emma and Mr Knightley's relationship sort of does resemble Maeve and Otis's in a way especially because they do end up together at the end so here's praying for Maeve and Otis endgame in season 3" THAT'S WHAT I KEEP ON SAYING, CHEF'S KISS
I hope you changed your mind after seeing s3 that ruby and otis should be the endgame. Cos their relationship has potential.
And both Emma and Knightley and Otis and Maeve were friends first!
Maeve also recommended the book “Come as You Are” by Emily Nagoski to Aimee💕
Jack reads books recommended by celebs and characters... I read books recommended by you!
Literally just finish 84 charing cross and you were correct! Such a charming and cosy book.
Now to start watermelon sugar and then the house in the cerulean sea.
:)
I just read 84 Charing Cross road after hearing about it from Jack too! It was so good!
You're gonna love house in the cerulean sea! such a cosy, heartwarming story
Damn right! I've read quite a few books cause of Jack and there are more on my list of tbr just cause of him. I don't even like Jane Austen but I have Emma on my shelf and can't wait to read it cause Jack hypes it so much!!!
Honestly sex education is such a great show! If you like developed, Individual and inclusive characters.. then watch it!! By this point t it's not even about the main 3, each character is needed and it's a tells beautiful stories :)
Also it's pretty funny!
Jack: I packed everything
Also jack: still has full bags of laundry in the background
i love how in depth the show goes with her love of literature because most movies or shows will have a female character and the audience is told she’s smart and she never really does anything that smart but with this we aren’t told we’re just shown
Jack... Everyone wants you to read Hozier's recommendations. Idek who that is, but on behalf of the people. There you go
Idk who he is either, but i like this energy and therefore stan
Would love it if you read Hozier’s book recommendations. The man writes lyrics like poetry, so you most likely won’t be disappointed
I literally searched for an "all books maeve wiley read" video last week hoping your channel would pop up and now here it isss 🥳
i gotchuuu
"Sometimes I feel like I might actually be like losing my mind, but very publicly on the internet." -Jack Edwards
I just saw Maeve Wiley in the title and instantly knew this one's gonna be fucking good
Also that pun at 1:01? It was so good
You should start including how many hours you spend reading these books. Like, what's your wpm??
"I can't believe my plant just gave up!"
bestie, the last time you watered those plants was pre pandemic, poor thing is looking for moisture anywhere she can find it 😭
Jack: doing all these book celebrity recommendation videos and challenges
Me: **in the corner, with my goodreads yearly reading challenge basically falling apart** 🔥this is fine🔥
us 🥴
wow, calling me out like this smh
jack after explaining the entire plot of othello: spoiler alert.... by the way
me literally studying othello rn and was about to go on spark notes to do my hw: ohhh.... gosh darnit...
Okay I didn’t know George Elliot was a woman and I feel simultaneously ashamed and shocked to my core
You should do *Pewdiepie* edition. love this "i read every book" series
y e s
hopefully not, in my opinion. :( i dont think Jack would look past the gross stuff he's said and done, but idk. maybe he would.
@@dreadpersephone I only know about N word is there more? i watch some of his videos but i'm not a follower/fan
"Spoiler alert btw...I mean..it was written 400 years ago, YOU'VE HAD TIME!" 😂😂
I LOVE MAEVE she made me discover my favorite writer, Virginia Woolf, I've read almost all of her books thanks to maeve
This is so awesome to hear ahhhh
I'm legit in love with Maeve Wiley... this is the best crossover ever
I'm having a hard time at uni because no one has really arrived yet and I haven't got any friends (I'm a first year at Nottingham Uni) so this is really what I needed to help bring me some joy, thanks Jack :')
you've got this!!! hang on in there my friend, good times are coming :)
@@jack_edwards bless your little cotton socks, darl... I’m gonna sleep well tonight!
I’m going to Nottingham uni!!
@@jasminedelatouche2119 wait what.. hello..? What are you studying and how can I contact you (without sounding too much of a creepy predator 😅)
I’m at Nottingham too!
Jack's coming out is finally here. So brave to come out of the closet as a Maeve simp. As should we all
wait is it just me or is someone reading THE BELL JAR in like every movie? I think Dakota Johnson was reading it in ‘how to be single’ & i remember seeing it a lot in a few others? 😅
yes omg just off the top of my head Kat was reading it in 10 Things I Hate About You, Rory Gilmore mentioned it in Gilmore Girls, and Lisa Simpson was reading it too
Me realisering Maeve Riley is my bookish twin after watching this video. These are some of my favourites books!
Hey idk if your indigenous/native or not but I’ve heard that the community generally doesn’t like people using that term so loosely.
@@bee5799 I’ve changed it, thank you for letting me know.
@@bee5799 what was the term? I'm asking so that I know not to use it in the future.
@@nup1dstiggers I’m guessing it was spirit animal
This is genius and the perfect way to get ready for season 3
also, if you've watched euphoria, could you do books that Rue read ?
i love euphoria and couldn’t name a single book she read lol
@@liamross340 same, rue's not really a reader and i don't think any of the main characters are lol
I definitely think Maeve liking Lady Susan and vouching for it so much is a reflection on how her own work goes underrated (doing all of the other kids work with no recognition) etc
Thanks for attending my Ted talk x
Omg love this interpretation!
@@eb8747 thank you! 💛
I get my tbr list from this channel and I am never disappointed because this channel is ✨ immaculate✨
Jack, if Othello is your favorite Shakespeare play I REALLY recommend "Dom Casmurro" by Brazilian author Machado de Assis. He's just a genious author, very important in Brazilian literature, all his books are AMAZING, but Dom Casmurro depicts a very similar/Othello inspired story!

„I don’t know if I wanna be her or be with her.“
As a lesbian I really felt that.
The way that reading a book or watching videos about someone else reading books sums up pretty much my whole life 🚶🏻♀️
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we NEED to see Jack review tween books. It can be in fifty years for all I care it just NEEDS to happen!
Can I just say, love your profile picture. I just finished re-reading Everblaze
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER EVER
Haley?? And Jack?? Interacting and living in the same universe is such a surreal experience to me!! Good to see you here omg
Wow I literally saved an article of her reading list today to read them during my upcoming semester break and was hoping you'd do this. So happy 🤧💜
I’d love you to read (a few of) the books Rory Gilmore has read throughout the series. So many classics! x
not me listening to Jack reviewing books recommended by a fictional character while I have at least 25 pending essays of my own lol
I never really related to Maeve that much until season 3, since.. I'm not that smart. But in season 3, we learn she can't actually ride a bike because no one taught her and that really hit me, my mom doesn't know how to either and my dad is an addict. I truly empathize with her loving and forgiving her family members even though she knows they will continue to hurt her.
"the atlantic ocean is jealous cause of how salty he is" definitely gonna be my new insult when someone's being salty. thanks. i'm new btw, and love your channel already. so hi
Not me waiting for the day when Jack reads all the books referenced in Gilmore Girls 😂
Ayo. Waddup. It’s ya girl. Hozier book recommendations pls
"I can't believe my plants just gave up" rip Jack's plants
Maeve Wiley is the one of the best most complacied female characters ever! My favorite moment was when she got on the bus with the girls to suppoert her friend Amy after what happened to her. Loved that!
"thee men be thy trash" I'm crying.
Can you please do one for Joe Goldberg from Netflix's You👉👈
was literally just rewatching this show a few days ago and had the thought "jack edwards should do a video on maeve's book recs" and boom. here it is. love it, great minds think alike!
Omg I love this!!! Jack your content has been so good lately 💙 Also love yout t shirt!
this is so kind, thank you!!
The actress of Maeve is French born and was just in the French movie Eiffel. She studied English language and literature in university. I just found out that today and found it fascinating how the personage Maeve resembles parts of her experiences.
Wtf no I opened youtube and saw Jack and Carley uploaded on the same time omggg who am I gonna watch first?!?!? and it's 3 am on aschool night...biggest crisis of the week. Btw,about time you guys read each other's fave books!!!!
Maeve sounds so cool, I can't wait to check out the show now! Also, it would be amazing if you could read Girl in Red's book recommendations and books that the former members of 1D have recommended (I know you've already done Harry Styles but it would be so cool to see the similarities and differences in books they like to read!)
Maeve definitely seems like a sally rooney stan to me ngl
omg Maeve would have Sally’s new book on pre order
THIS MAN DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!
I don’t know why but when Jack said “she’s a mammoth” at 6:25 I automatically heard “she’s a mammoth, of course” by Ms. Onika Tonya (aka Harajuku Barbie, aka Nicki Minaj)
hahahaha that was the reference!
I just now realised I unconsciously added "I have the attention span of a tiktok" to my vocabulary from you and now i use it pretty much daily😂
Okay…Lady Susan = Maeve’s mum?? Neglecting her daughter??? Manipulative???
DUDEEEEE
"Be Maeve Wiley or be with Maeve Wiley." is what i think about almost everyday
Will it be too much if I said I've started watching Sex Education just so I can come back and watch this video of yours?
“The Atlantic Ocean is jealous bc of how salty he is” 😂 I love it
saldly Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a terf..
It would be SO COOL if you made a video reading Hozier's book recommendations llskdfjslkdfj bog man has such an amazing taste for books
check out uncarley's video :)
2 years later and meave and otis arent together and the series is over :(
I’d love to see you do this with Jess Mariano.
if you're now interested in lady susan and can't find a copy of it but also don't want to listen to the audio book (if you're like me and don't like audio books) it's on wattpad! they also have other classic authors like shakespeare and it's completely free, and while you're on there you can even read really fucking weird fanfics! yay!
I’m so hyped for this, Maeve could step on me and I’d thank her
So you “wish you were the f*cking carpet”?
honestly, I love this video
BUT WHEN WILL HE READ HOZIER RECOMMENDATIONS AAAAAAAAA
Do you read minds, sir?! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! She is my role model.
I'M OBSESSED WITH YOU MANHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think my life without Jacks Videos wouldn't be the same. I just need a little inspiration and a smile on my face once in a while and Jacks videos give that to me. So thanks for making my day better. I'm going reading now...
"I don't know if I want to BE Maeve Wiley or be WITH Maeve Wiley" hello, bi culture
It's been a hot minute since I added this many books to my to read list, but these all sounded like absolute bangers!
Here's the link to the Ted Talk by Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie "We should all be feminists" ua-cam.com/video/hg3umXU_qWc/v-deo.html
no views but 14 likes… the algorithm works fast but the viewers work ✨harder✨
really wish you would've acknowledged how transphobic the author of "we should all be feminists" is. kind of makes her work something people shouldn't be promoting imo.
This Boy always puts me in a happy mood. So funny, and what a contagious energy!
im sorry but I don't understand the bell jar hype, I felt most people liked it because its written by sylvia plath.... (I am preparing myself for hate).
