Words cannot express the joy that is seeing Jack upload more and more on both channels.
same 🥺 his energy brightens up my day fr
Other celebrity memoirs you could read: Viola Davis's memoir is supposed to be really great, also Matthew Perry's has mixed reviews but is very honest and about addiction, and Born a Crime by Trevor Noah
I also recommend Miss Memory Lane by Colton Haynes. I thought it was so great and he narrates the audiobook really well^^
Born A Crime by Trevor Noah! Yes. Especially his audiobook. You have to hear it in his voice!
Born A Crime is amazing!
@@rosesisler9275 Yes! He even does the different dialects and his mother's voice. So good.
I listened to Viola Davis’s book as well as Trevor Noah’s. Both were excellent.
Would be really nice to hear about the books you read in February & January and what you thought of them! x

The library system where I work has 16 physical copies of SPARE and the wait list is over 200 patrons. 😂
Side note: I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on Yolk when you finish. I read it recently and it was very different from what I was expecting.
March will be my month of poetry. I normaly read mostly sci-fi, but I sworn to myself to expand my mind a little and as far as i can see, W.B. Yeats could be a great fit for a start in poetry.
Just found three gorgeous books, printed by "Blackletter Press", yellow linen cover and golden embosting. So, in march I will be reading: "Spiritus Mundi", "On Magic and the Occult" and "A Vision". Wich me luck everyone, i fear my brain will melt, english is not my native language :D
You have to read /listen to Mariah Carey's memoir! She narrated the audiobook and she even sings from here and there. It was cool! But also, the book talked about racism, family love, marriage, manipulation, glitz and glamour, of course, but it talks more about how to reach your full potential and dreams. It's amazing!
You can definitely still make a video about prince harrys memoir!! I didn’t really watch anybody else’s but I’m dying to know your thoughts
jack, it's so good to see you smiling again. i'm so sorry you had heartache last week. onwards & upwards.
Brandi Carlile's memoir is great, she talks about being queer, growing up in a religious town, meeting her wife, touring, writing her songs, other artists that influenced her... and then she sings and plays acoustic versions at the end of each chapter
As someone living abroad in Korea I am so excited to see what you get up to! Assuming you will be in Seoul you should try and hit up the book museum if you have time, it is small but really cool to see and has some excellent little spaces the public can use for reading :)
Sending positive energy for ur March book read and no slumps lots of fun ❤
I finished Young Mungo in February! It was absolutely beautiful, written in a Glaswegian dialect! It's pretty graphic in some places and very emotionally intense but absolutely gorgeous.
Oooh, Yolk has been on my tbr for ages. This feels like a sign to read it. And that little ending made me so happy because there is some news that I'm expecting this month and I'm really hoping it's good. I hope you have a good month too!
it's been one of my all time favorite books for years. highly, highly recommend!
Hey Jack, thanks for the good vibes. I need them as I’m trying to complete my book by the end of the month. Also hoping for something pretty big.
omg Yolk!!!! one of my all time favorite books. I've been waiting ages for you to finally read this one! Hope u love it
Yolk is a good book. It had me tearing up at the end and Im typically not much of a crier.
March is going to be kind of an unusual month for me when it comes to reading. While I'm usually reading classics the next books on my tbr are all more contemporary 😅!
I'm currently reading "Não se pode morar nos olhos de um gato" by Ana Margarida de Carvalho (as far as I know it doesn't have an english translation, in english the title would be something like You Can't Live on the Eyes of a Cat)
Up next there's:
- Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Davies;
- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas;
- The complete sonets of Antero de Quental (portuguese poet);
- Ragnarok by A. S. Byatt (ik controversial 😬, but i think i still might enjoy it);
- White Tiger by Aravind Adiga.
Excited for future videos and to know what Jack's novel is about. Love from Portugal
Ahh! I rarely see people mention traveling to Taiwan I’m so glad that you’re going! It’s such a great place I hope you enjoy it
i just carried 4 of my 7 books from my February TBR into my March TBR 🤡
the best part of libby is when you can't finish a book, there's like one or two folks waiting, and you know they probably don't have time for it either, then you get it back again immediately 😂i've had the RWRB audiobook for like two months that way.
Amazing book haul for March Jack!!😊
So many videos of what you want to read this year and organizing tbr, would love to see the reviews come back
hi Jack are you planning to have a video on all the books you've read in 2022? ive been dying to watch it
Excited for the Japan vlog!! I just know you'll love it there ❤
Memoirs have been some of my favorite books and Greenlights is the first one I recommend. It's an easy one for people who don't like memoirs or biographies to enjoy.
I'm planning a trip to New York in October so I'll definitely be adding some of these to my TBR!
I highly recommend Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata for your trip to Japan, Jack! It’s a campy novella that examines work culture and adhering to societal expectation and convention in a deeply thoughtful way.
I read it and really liked it
I admire the planning. Any time I try to plan exactly what to read in a certain amount of time, it eliminates any motivation to actually do it
Omg I cannot wait to see you in my country of Taiwan! It’s a beautiful country ~ I would love for you to visit Eslite Xinyi bookstore which is located next to the Taipei 101 building. It’s an absolute massive bookstore with plenty of english books ❤❤❤ I also believe it to be the biggest bookstore in Taiwan! 🇹🇼
Yolk was one of my favorite books from last year! A very powerful read. I gifted it to my sister for Christmas and she is loving it too!!
Here for a celebrity memoir video. Memoirs read by the author is my jam! Recently finished Spare and Ten Steps to Nanette, loved them both!
I actually work for the book production and design firm that helped out with creating The Novelist! Very cool to see work bookish life collide with leisurely bookish life lol
he is feeding us 😭🥰
Your book is already on my TBR!
Talking sof celebrity memoirs (and jumping off your recent videos about Irish writing): you should read Bono’s memoir “40 songs one story”! It’s the best audiobook I’ve listened to (I’ve listened to a bunch, and generally like to read fiction but this was exceptional!!)
Seeing Jack’s head just makes me smile
Loveeed Greenlights, so insightful to Matt McConaughey's upbringing. Also very interested to see what you think of Young Mungo - I read it quite soon after Shuggie Bain and thought the two were very similar, but intrigued to hear your opinion!
i read yolk last year and the jayne/june thing was never really a struggle for me and has become one of my favourite books since!
I read Yolk and no it wasn't confusing. But I absolutely loved the exploration of the sisterly dynamic when you don't get along. I hope you enjoy it too
I really enjoy celebrity memoirs so would love to see a video on them!
Got some good news today I’ve been waiting for for nearly 2 months. Happy reading Jack 😊💜
What is it? Can I know?
Other memoirs I'd recommend off the top of my head: Trevor Noah's Born a Crime, Stephanie Foo's What My Bones Know, both of Gabrielle Union's memoirs.
I used libby too! Also...SOOOOOO STOKED that you are going to Taiwan. I'm from Taiwan and it is amazing there! Hope you have a good guide!
For your Japan trip I’d suggest No Longer Human, however, you really need to be in the right mindset for it because it’s very heavy. But it is by far one of the most famous books from Japan
Hey! I'm curious with some of the books of your TBR!
I always believe Jack’s recommendation, adding these to my TBR❤
Dude its really nice to hear about books from you. It makes my day.😀
my tbr for march:
- normal people
- crime and punishment (reread)
- the diary of a young girl anne frank
- my dark vanessa
- such a fun age
- the tatooist of auschwitz
- conversations with friends
I am currently reading Conversations with Friends. Hope you'll enjoy it!
I loved Yolk! Another Booktuber "Cari Can Read" calls it a love story to New York. There are some editions where the sisters hands are drawn out on the page side of the book.
Green Lights is one of my fav books ever 🥰 wish I’d listened to it by him though. If you can, visit Hakone. Enjoy your travels x
I enjoyed the audio of Greenlights so much, it was an experience listening to McConaghey narrate it ! Though the physical book is beautiful too, filled with photographs and little notes.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Greenlights!
I think a great idea would be reading books recommended in season 2 of Ginny & Georgia. Ginny is listing books about black culture to suggest for English class🙌
How can you upload so much :') ? I love it !
Yolk was one of my favorite reads in 2021; I buddy read it with a friend. Also, how beautiful is that cover?! 🍳
They are not lying! Greenlights is amazing
Wishing you all the best in your writing journey. I'm a young writer too who tries to find his voice through his creations. I feel like I exist for literature and for writing. It's my meaning.
so jealous of your trip to asia :/ i hope you have a great time though! i will be living vicariously through you
if you want to read more nonfiction about New York, I read "goodbye to all that: writers on loving and leaving New York" which I thought had some really interesting perspectives!
I’m think I’m the only Texan who read Greenlights and didn’t love it. I’m curious to see what you think. Also, I’m impatiently awaiting your Anne of Green Gables review. 😂
Olga dies dreaming and Young Mungo have been on my TBR for months and I've just never picked them up, but I'm gonna read them now because I do not wanna be behind when you start talking about them.
"You lucky sausage" had me nearly choking on my lunch.
March will be a year that I devote more time to reading classical books(I doubt the grammatical accuracy of this sentence. I am Turkish so English is not my native language, sorry). I plan to read the books of authors such as Jane Austen, Victor Hugo, Jose Saramago. But these books are dense and thick as it is known and I am preparing for university :/ I hope I can succeed. Btw you're amaaazzing
your english is very good :) my advice for the classics is to take your time with them. don’t feel pressured to finish quickly. the fact that you’re reading them at all is impressive, and you’ll benefit most from understanding them fully and deeply, which takes time. good luck! :)
@@alieneleni Thank youu. It's good that you said this, because when reading a thick book, there is always a desire to finish it as soon as possible and move on to the next one. So thank you I will keep this in mind:)
@@spocktiberiusmccoy9463 Definitely I agree with you. I've read a lot of classic books before, so as you said, I know what kind of books I like and draw a path for myself accordingly. This year I wanted to focus specifically on the classics because sometimes I don't really feel like I belong in this century. Also, thanks for your les miserable advice, I've read the shortened version before, but I can't say I remember much right now, so I'll add it to my list. I wish you a good reading too!!
I love Mary HK Choi, and ‘Yolk’ is a terrific book. I think she does something so special with this book. 🍳
‘Mouth to Mouth’ was so unputdownable for me- I mean I just really, really enjoyed the time I spent reading it. ✈️
Looking forward to your thoughts on all of these books!
I would love to see your opinion on popular fantasy books.
Yes ! Green Lights was fantastic!
Best of luck for the book writing 📚📖
In regard to Yolk, even though their names are quite similar, they have such distinctive personalities that it would be hard to mix them up :)
Woaah, reading books that are set to where exactly you are... I want to live like that tooo!!!
I'd actually be really interested to hear your thoughts on Spare! I read it, and have my own opinions, of course, but I'm curious to know what you, as a young British man, thinks of it. 🙂
finally! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR U TO READ YUNG MUNGO FOR SO LONG! 🏴🏴
A Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin is a wonderful book about NYC, magical!
Ikr one of my favorites ❤
That NYC background noise makes me so nostalgic (I'm from Queens)! The reason why I can't sleep in silence here in NH...LOL My school from here visited us at one point. None of them could sleep except me. I had slept so well. I have a sound machine on my phone now. Haha
Getting back into jack’s content again woooooo
If it helps... My name is Jayne, but pronounced jay-knee! Like when people use the name Jayme or Jayce where the e is long instead of silent. May help break up the two similar names in Yolk
Bestie it's already on my tbr and i dont even know what it is yet 😃
as an englishman, you should totally dedicate a video solely to harry's memoir and add the netflix show to it too! it's important!
Demon Copperhead is on my TBR for March for sure!
It was a great surprise to me that my favorite book of 2022 was Greenlights. McConaughey has lived such a bizarre and fascinating life!
At the Moment on my TBR is the whole First Law Series from Joe Abercrombie and if i get there also the 3 Books of the Iron Elves Series from Chris Evans 💓😊
you exude the best energy
Jack, it would be amazing if you could please consider scheduling a meet up in NY 🥰
jack is really blessing us with all these uploads!
I also just got access to Spare today!
mouth to mouth was brilliant
Can’t believe I’m this early, Jack! Congrats on the new upload, hoping Babel is on the list! 😭
I actually DNF'd Young Mungo in January. It was too similar to Shuggie Bain for me (which I did really enjoy). Maybe I'll go back to it sometime, when in a better frame of mind 🤔
That's why I don't think I'll be reading YM anytime soon. Shuggie Bain is one of the best books I've ever read for me, so I don't want to taint it or read a recreation!
I'm thoroughly impressed by Jack's ability to read because I read 3 books this year and thought that was a lot! :o
I would highly recommend Billy Connolly and Miriam Margolyes's autobiographies!
If you haven’t please read Norwegian Wood or Kafka by the shore by Murakami when in Japan!
I suggest you "finding me" as celebrity memoir
jack, i highly recommend you read "how we disappeared" by jing-jing lee. its about the japanese occupation in singapore. i think you will love it. xx
You Should Do A Video On Spare!!! Also, Greenlight is funny, weird and inspiring - enjoy!!! 🙂
“Finding me” by viola Davis is an incredible memoir
I love the novelist sm 😭😭😭
you’re coming to Taiwan 😮 i did not expect to hear that
Actually I'm currently reading White Chrysanthemum, by Korean-American writer Mary Lynn Bracht. Maybe it could go to your TBR while you'll be in Korea :)!
For gods sake i was just catching my breath from your last video the one with the kitty cat 🥰 but pls keep them coming 😍 from India
Young Mungo was one of the most beautiful books that I have ever read.
Young mungo is my favorite book and also heart shattering. Have fun 😂
Also I’ve commented this before but similarly to A Little Life the cover is art, not the characters themselves!
