Classy Classic Bookhaul + A Holiday Giveaway

[@AlbertGauche]

Some nice acquisitions. Winnie the Pooh is a good one. Tiny hard covers I appreciate too.

The hot air balloon is Santa's backup when the reindeer strike.

[@jackdziatkowiec]

A Little Princess is a children's classic, and a wonderful Winter read. From the author of The Secret Garden.

[@jakecole1036]

Love your sf takes! Wanted to say thanks for giving me so many hits of sweet nostalgia. Shiny covers 🤤 Hope I get one of those pretty books.

[@bookjack]

[@bookjack]

Hey @jakecole1036 You won! Im hoping to get these books to you before Christmas :)

[@jakecole1036]

Im dumb and I didn't check my notifications so I just saw this!@@bookjack Thank you. I just sent you an email :)

[@jbrichardson8891]

Nice Book haul, glad LeGuin is getting you out of your reading slump I've read a few of her Hanish books this year.

[@bookjack]

I think City of Illusion is technically a Hanish book. Seems like a loose connection between them all

[@bibliomania158]

Great video, and beautiful books.

[@Tetsujin-28]

If I ever produce a horror movie about a homicidal carpet salesman, you've got the lead.

[@bookjack]

I can see myself nailing that role 😅

[@bobkeane7966]

I never listened to an audio book, but often listened to music while reading for high school every time I hear Blood,Sweat and Tears it reminds me of Sinclair Lewis and Mainstreet.

[@bookjack]

I love those little connections

[@joshalexander1167]

I like your channel! Keep on keeping on!

[@bookjack]

Thanks for the encouragement :)

[@evanminor9495]

I love these videos, it must be a fun challenge to go out and find all of these clean copies at thrift stores!

[@bookjack]

It's a lot of fun. Takes a while to acquire enough books for a video though

[@katherinegarcia3256]

Love your videos. And I would love to win a couple of books for Christmas!!

[@CalamariAtari]

Books are the answer

[@BobCanRead]

Moby Dick is one of my absolute favorite novels, and there is an argument to be made that it is one of the greatest American novels. Ishmael is a very interesting protagonist, a strange and excitable lens through which to glimpse the fantastic nautical narrative (and his friendship with Queequeg is so unexpectedly delightful). Of course Ahab is one of literature's greatest antagonists. It can certainly be a bit of a challenge at times, but I would strongly suggest you give it an earnest try.

[@bookjack]

Thanks. I was hoping to get some words of encouragement about Moby Dick

[@JEDIGENX]

Great haul video! I love the classics. Speaking of The Call of the Wild, did you see the Harrison Ford screen adaptation from 2020? Not too shabby. Found a Le Guin this week, a very good condition The Dispossessed with red edges. Unfortunately the previous owner signed and dated the inside cover. Why do people do that? Anyways, looking forward to your end of year rankings. I think I'm on pace to read 55 books this year. Take care...

[@bookjack]

That's a book a week congrats! I really don't know why people sign their books. They are only yours temporarily 🤠

[@michaeljdauben]

Actually, The Lost World is a dinosaur book. It's about explorers finding living dinosaurs in the Amazon jungle.

[@bookjack]

So Jurassic Park didn't lead me astray 😅

[@Yesica1993]

Gone With the Wind is spectacular.

[@mattj2118]

Francis Hodgson Burnett (author of A Little Princess) is worth checking out. She also wrote The Secret Garden, and I love that book.

[@bobbdrake8164]

Gotta get some Brodart to cover that Alice in Wonderland book (and any old book with a damaged DJ). Covering dust jackets is one of my favorite things to do

[@bookjack]

I was thinking about trying to repair some of these. Haven't ventured outside of glueing spines

[@QueenMikmoo]

Here's to hoping I get out of my reading slump for the winter!

[@bookjack]

Good luck! Read something you know you'll love :)

[@Michael253]

It might be an ugly tie, but with the blue jacket, you look great!!

[@bookjack]

Thanks :)

[@phaedrus2633]

That''s one snazzy tie. I ordered a two voiume set of Charles Dickens Christmas stories, a long time ago, thinking it would have his "A Christmas Carol" in it, but no. I am reading the story "The Christmas Carol" this year, as it is included in a Reader's Digest Condensed Novel volume. The 1951 version of "Scrooge" starring Alistair Sim, is a pretty good reproduction of the book's dialogs.

[@bookjack]

I've seen that movie actually. My uncle insisted upon it :)

[@phaedrus2633]

@@bookjack The 1951 British Alistair Sims movie, I think named "Scrooge" was pretty faithful to the dialog of the book. That's, by far, my best version of "The Christmas Carol".

[@christhewritingjester3164]

I grew up on Jack London. I did a book report on White Fang in 5th grade. I re-read White Fang, The Seawolf, and Call of the Wild over this last year. Walden is the first book I ever DNFd. And if we're just going classics in general, have you read The Three Musketeers? It's one of my all time favorites.

[@bookjack]

I haven't but I loved The Count of Monte Cristo and have been wanting to give Dumas another chance

[@christhewritingjester3164]

@@bookjack I just read The Count of Monte Cristo this past year. I think if you loved that then you'll enjoy The Three Musketeers. I do have a long term goal of reading more of his works.

[@bookjack]

I'm hoping to read that this year but forgot about it so thanks for the reminder :)

[@luanamendes4767]

Nice book giveaway, I’d love to participate. I will check out that War of the Worlds in your store

[@bookjack]

War of the Worlds will be going in my library 😅 I have a big Penguin black spine collection

[@M-J]

Fantastic haul! Congrats on your new personal best! Entering myself in the contest. One is an absolute favorite of mine. ☺- MJ

[@bookjack]

Yes I remember your video talking about it :)

This is not an entry; thanks for your great videos. I think Proust may rhyme with boost.

[@Coderama]

I love these videos

[@bookjack]

Glad you enjoy them :)

[@lits3212]

I have that Walden but the Netflix series of Emily Dickinson ruined it for me. I can’t get over their comments as I read it. I’m so fickle.

[@bookjack]

We all have hangups like that I'm sure. Hard to separate sometimes
