Ngl when Jack mentioned you on his video, I assumed you guys were just friendly and doing a "collab". But it's so clear that you are actually friends, which we love❤
@@usernullx it's in his second channel jack in the books. It goes something like books my bestie recommended or something. He put up a video of the clips that didn't make in this video too, it's hilarious
"Get well soon.. Mine is Picture of Dorian Gray :)" KILLED ME I was actually screaming aloud that was too funny. this was so fun thank you!! hope to see more collabs between y'all soon!
I'M TELLING YOU WHEN I SAW THIS I LITERALLY SCREAMED!!!! YOU GUYYYYYYS, AGH I NEVER EXPECTED MY TWO FAVOURITE BOOK UA-camRS TO COLLAB! AH THIS IS GREAT! THANK YOU! YOU'VE MADE MY WHOLE DAYY
It's so genuine, seeing my two favorite booktubers together. Man they should start a podcast I'd follow it religiously. P.S. i really wish to spend a day with Jakey and Lady Dakota so bad :')
@@juli3836 _that's exactly what I was thinking,_ the next up in my video recommendations was literally Emmie. I think I might just die the day that happens.
When i tell you i haven't ever watched a video longer than 20 mins without taking a break- can't believe this was a 40 min long video and i finished it in one sitting. Probably has to do with the fact that the energy you two exude together is simply immaculate, the way you two are so playful, so yourself around eachother is just wow. Thoroughly enjoyed this and i hope you guys keep making content together often because i absolutely loved this
Our Lady, I am begging you to do a outfit styling video, show us how you style and accessorise, show us your favourite outfit combos and fashion must haves to become Lady Dakota. Thank you so much, pretty pleased considered this. Lots of love, Lily xxxxx
“books that feel like a renissance painting” i interpretted this as a book thats soooo beautiful and also makes you feel something deep inside yourself. I thought of A Little Life
Here from Jack’s channel and I immediately subscribed to Dakota just a few minutes into this video. I was so surprised when it ended because it felt like no time had passed at all, much less almost 40 minutes! I could have watched this forever- fantastic collab!
This is such a cool video! Also Dakota, you remind me of the actress Mia Wasikowska a little bit! (It makes sense since ppl fan cast her as Camilla from TSH a lot lol) :)
love seeing english people talking about Cortazar !! as an argentinian I felt so proud. and I also recommend to you reading Hopscotch by Julio Cortázar or some short stories by Borges, such great and unhinged authors
for the gay story told through letters (apart from of course on earth we're briefly gorgeous), I would say "This is how you lose the time war"! I loved it although be warned the writing is convoluted and ambiguous (in a good way). It's one of those books that's best read with no prior knowledge but it is essentially about two time agents on opposing sides of a space and time war leaving each other letters. Picture Romeo and Juliet but across time in parallel dimensions, written with stunning prose. mwah
The way I saw the dark academia question on the thumbnail and immediately watched this video to the end (so many great recommendations by the way!!) just to see if you'd recommend The Secret History AND YOU DID ahhhhh you have my heart 😭❤ Subscribed 🤝🏻 Came here from Jack's video of books you recommended to him and I wasn't disappointed (obviously) 😔❤
I was just waiting for This is How You Lose the Time War!!! It fits both the “beautifully written but you have to reread again” and the “written in letters (preferably gay)” ughhhh its AMAZING
I love this video, it feels like I'm the camera, and it is perfect because sometimes I don't feel like participating I just want to observe and have fun. And yes sometimes this is how I have fun
Oh my godddd Heaven by Mieko Kawakami hit soo damn hardd for me it was just so close to home especially the thoughts of the main characters. From the self blaming to questioning their existence to imagining themselves outside of their bodies is so ridiculously accurate it made me want to cry because of how well the author described a bullying victim’s mindset. Miss Kawakami knows. She really knows how we feel.
I love Jack and Upstream so much that I knew he'd recommend Upstream before he even did it P. S Dakota you HAVE to make a video on books where writers talk about writing and literature because I can't express well how much I love literature so I need to read people who can :')
PLEASE RECOMMEND BOOKS ON WRITING !!! i’ve been skimming through your videos literally just looking for that, i’d love a writers perspective on good books to inspire/inform the writing process😭😭😭 please please please do a vlog for just writers on writing!!!
35:40 i just finished reading if we were villains today, 100% recommended to anyone into DA/thespianism!! coincidentally also ordered the secret history today, so excited to read it :))
More more more more of these! Your book recommendations are the ones i trust. I am binge watching your videos! And i cannot wait to start reading the secret history. Love from India

This video TRANSPORTED ME. I feel like I am sitting in a living room with my two best friends, discussing books. Just stunning vibes all around.
i feel like i am third wheeling
I've never seen Jack laugh that hard 😂
When i tell you i haven't ever watched a video longer than 20 mins without taking a break- can't believe this was a 40 min long video and i finished it in one sitting.

You two seem so happy as friends, it is so fucking wholesome
YESSSSSS this collab is everything 😭 the best two worlds colliding
This video was simply therapeutic. Your friendship is so bright, made me smile all along!
almost 40 minutes of pure bliss
Our Lady, I am begging you to do a outfit styling video, show us how you style and accessorise, show us your favourite outfit combos and fashion must haves to become Lady Dakota. Thank you so much, pretty pleased considered this. Lots of love, Lily xxxxx
they're like the bestest friends ever discussing their paris breakdown 😭
I’ve never seen Jack this chaotic and I’m here for it. Also Dakota you are so beautiful and funny🥺I just discovered your channel❤️
YOU TWO ARE MY FAV INFLUENCERS AND I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN
NO WAYYY!! PLEASE MORE OF THIS
if this pairing has a million fans, i am one of them. if this pairing has 1 fan, it is me. if this pairing has no fans, i do not exist.
“books that feel like a renissance painting” i interpretted this as a book thats soooo beautiful and also makes you feel something deep inside yourself. I thought of A Little Life
just finished A Little Life, so devastating
THE VIBES!!!!!!!!! Is it just me or are these two falling in love before our eyes?? Maybe it's just me shipping.

Jack comes on the channel and causes absolute mayhem and chaos (but in a good way)
the fact that this video is over 30 minutes!! thank you Lady Dakota for this 6 course meal!!
This is such a cool video! Also Dakota, you remind me of the actress Mia Wasikowska a little bit! (It makes sense since ppl fan cast her as Camilla from TSH a lot lol) :)
