every book i want to read in september

[@AvinaGreen]

I was genuinely worried when I only saw five books at first. I kind of loved the absolute gall Jack had when he'd be like, 'Yeah, I'm going to read these twelve books' and then a day later on Insta he shows a book that was definitely not on the TBR list bc he's a mood reader

[@jack_edwards]

LOOOL

List of Books 0:26 Best of Friends by Kamila Shamsie 2:28 Penance by Eliza Clark 6:08 Mrs. S by K. Patrick 8:19 Brutes by Dizz Tate 9:55 Letters to Milena by Franz Kafka

[@anaf9001]

thanks, i saved the first one and then just kept watching mesmerized.

[@raniaqaisar3721]

Seeing you read Kamila's books and liking them makes me very happy as a Pakistani this just feels great that my fav youtuber has that diversity.

[@macylightfoot]

Not to sound like a creepy weirdo but your facial hair to head hair ratio is 100% in this video. You're positively glowing, Jack! The power of having your own library.

[@maika0395]

For those of you who are interested in the topics of female friendship and growing up as a girl in the beginning of the 20th century in Paris, I highly recommend the first book of Simone de Beauvoir's memoir: "mémoires d'une jeune fille rangée". So many interesting observations and reflections about her childhood and youth. Amazing read

[@ninawang1775]

Jack! I’m reading Open Water because of your recommendation and it has me crying in the PROLOGUE 😭😭 I’m looking forward to finishing it.

[@shristigupta007]

ME TOOO!! I just started it and it's already so beautiful

[@monkeygod1981]

I read it because of jacks recommendation too last year. And then you can read small worlds. A beautiful author

[@EttaH-io7ur]

To: Jack 🙋 I love what you said in another of your videos about reading a book. It went "something like this"... There are two stories. One is written in black and white on the book pages, and the other is the story about you reading that book. That's beautiful and poetic, in my personal opinion.

[@munajedski]

Because of Jack my TBR keeps growing!!!!

[@marinkopon]

Didn't Jack just record a video on his main channel saying that Mrs S wasn't as exciting as he thought? Always knew he was a time traveler, there's no way to read so many books without the ability to control time

[@jack_edwards]

haha this video was pre-filmed about 2 weeks ago and I read Mrs S last week!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

8:52 I’m the opposite: I love learning about flowers. Bougainvillea (Boo-gun-Vee-yuh)

[@juliestng]

I absolutly looooove the bookshelfs in the back as the new video background

[@mikaylagrace]

Jack’s filming in his library, my go-to cozy channel just became even cozier 🤍

[@beapineapple6299]

Jack, I recommend the book "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls if you haven't yet. Add it to your want to read list for october. The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant.

[@laurenschenck5355]

You always pick amazing unique and beautiful books Jack and love it ❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Happy to see the September TBR revealed. Maybe I’ll get some inspiration to read. Also, happy to hear you’re not being unhinged with your TBR.

[@arya0553]

Jack, you should try „Milkman“ by Anna Burns. It‘s literally just 300 pages of an inner monologue - written beautifully, but unfortunately not for me. The whole time reading it I thought „oh, Jack would love this!“

[@adelak.8054]

I loved this book so much!!! I often think about it even after two years.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Hope you love and enjoy all the books you read in September 😊

[@carmennaide]

please tell me am I not the only one who says "hello everyone and welcome back to my second channel. welcome back to Jack in the Books~" alongside Jack

[@amm-xn6nr]

You mentioned Letters to Milena by Franz Kafka and it's in fact pronounced as [Mill-lain-ah]. Please, don't take it personally 🤓 but since it's a czech name, I had this intense urge to correct you. Sending love from Czech Republic! 🇨🇿❤️

[@Tams1978]

My great-grandparents had a daughter who died as a baby and her name was Milena. They were from Yugoslavia.

[@amm-xn6nr]

@@Tams1978 I'm not saying that this name cannot occur in a different language or that it originates in Czech language, just that it is a czech name as well. Kafka's letters are addressed to czech journalist Milena Jesenská, and both her name and surname are czech. However, it's interesting to find out that Milena appears in another language, that's news to me! :)

[@Tams1978]

@@amm-xn6nrI wasn’t saying that either, I just thought it was cool that the name is from other countries as well, plus it was nice finding out how it’s pronounced. 😊

[@ellarose8696]

“You lucky sausage” 😂😂😂

Definitely adding some of these to my TBR list!! I’m from Texas and pronounce that flower’s name “Boo-gun-vee-yuh” they’re lovely!

0:25 best of friends 2:27 penance 6:03 mrs. s 8:19 brutes 9:50 letters to milena

[@somethingnotstupid]

Letters to Milena reminds me of Correspondance which are letters written between Albert Camus and Maria Casares that haven’t been published in english yet but I can’t wait

[@PokhrajRoy.]

7:27 This does remind me of ‘The Children’s Hour’ by Lillian Helman

[@shristigupta007]

Petition for Jack to have a podcast!!

[@kennedy-]

brutes has been on my tbr for a little bit.. I should've bought it when I had the chance!

Can you do a video on hoziers book recommendations? 😊😊

[@shristigupta007]

Seeing you butcher my favorite flower was a highlight fr 😂😭 We pronounce it as 'bow gain vee leea', also they're gorgeous creepers that you must've seen covering walls and stuff!!

[@elisaslibrary]

Brutes is very reminiscent of the virgin suicides, I feel like it's a more female focused, less male gazey version of that book.

Omg. I have read “bougainvillea” hundreds of times and I have no idea how to pronounce it either! I have frequently thought of how embarrassed I’d be if I had to say it out loud I think you said it the way I would have but obviously that means nothing! 😂

[@lauradone9232]

Didn't really enjoy Penance, the writing style put me off and the story wasn't exactly captivating. I'm sure I'm in the minority but I was expecting more, it also felt way too long.

[@ksenija2605]

stoooppp

[@xxMegha33xx]

How do you all make time to read with a full time job and other things? Need help.

[@AvinaGreen]

Can you listen to audiobooks? Do you take public transport or drive to work? If public transport get reading in then with a physical book. If driving, audiobook. If neither is possible, I read while having breakfast and before bed to help me sleep as well sometimes (that can backfire and I end up staying awake way too late)

[@xxMegha33xx]

@@AvinaGreen Thank you! I have tried my bit with audiobook but never really got hooked to it. I used to read almost 30-40 books a year back in school but since I have joined a job I am only able to read just 1 book in a month and that makes me so sad. I want to get back into my old habits.

[@xxMegha33xx]

​@@bethmcmullan7686 I agree,I used to love reading before and I do even now but since I have started to see these booktubers I just become so overwhelmed that Wow! they get to read so much and I can't I think they are doing this fulltime so they get to read a lot. So realistically I wanted to know how do you all manage to do with other things happening.

[@cath1238]

I try to replace time I spend on social media with reading. When I got back into reading a couple years ago, I only read for like 20 minutes before I went to bed ☺️

[@AvinaGreen]

@bethmcmullan7686 I will say it's actually totally possible to read the number of books he's read. As someone who is also a fast and rather devoted reader, the only thing stopping me from reaching quite his numbers is that I read longer books. He reads a lot of shorter books, 200-300 pages.
