The timestamps if anyone is interested: 1:52 - "No One is Talking About This" (Humorous Fiction) by Patricia Lockwood. 2:33 - "Rodham" (Alternate History) by Curtis Sittenfeld. 3:12 - "Hamnet" (Historical Fiction) by Maggie O'Farrell. 3:52 - "Shuggie Bain" (Coming of Age/Bildungsroman) by Douglas Stuart. 4:30 - "The Other Black Girl" (Thriller/Suspense) by Zakiya Dalila Harris. 5:04 - "Loveless" (Young Adult) by Alice Oseman. 6:07 - "Memorial" (Humour/Coming-of-Age) by Bryan Washington. 6:57 - "Circe" (Historical/Fantasy Fiction) by Madeline Miller. 7:47 - "Convenience Store Woman" (Contemporary Adult Fiction) by Sayaka Murata. 8:34 - "Such a Fun Age" (Contemporary Adult Fiction) by Kiley Reid. 9:36 - "The Girl With the Louding Voice" (Contemporary Adult Fiction/Young Adult Fiction) by Abi Daré. Also, this novel has mentions/descriptions of rape so please read with caution. 10:01 - "Exciting Times" (Contemporary LGBT Romance) by Naoise Dolan. 10:35 - "Burnt Sugar" (Contemporary Adult Fiction) by Avni Doshi. 11:17 - "Detransition, Baby" (Contemporary LGBT Fiction) by Torrey Peters. 11:45 - "Malibu Rising" (Contemporary Historical(?) Fiction) by Taylor Jenkins Reid. 12:53 - "The Maidens" (Thriller/Mystery/Mythology) by Alex Michaelides. 13:05 - "Luster" (Contemporary Adult Romance) by Raven Leilani. 13:29 - "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" (Magical Realism) by Toshikau Kawaguchi. 14:12 - "Yolk" (Young Adult(?)/Adult) by Mary H.K. Choi. Also, according to Goodreads, the protagonist in this novel has an eating disorder so it may be triggering for some readers. 15:08 - "Everything I Never Told You" (Historical Fiction) by Celeste Ng. 15:43 - "We Are All Birds of Uganda" (Historical Fiction) by Hafsa Zayyan. 16:17 - "Where the Crawdads Sing" (Historical Fiction) by Delia Owens. 17:04 - "Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World - and Why Things are Better Than You Think" (Non-Fiction/Self-Help) by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling & Anna Rosling Rönnlund. 17:35 - "Empireland: How Imperialism Has Shaped Modern Britain" (Non-Fiction, Politics & History) by Sathnam Sanghera. 17:45 - "All My Puny Sorrows" (Contemporary Fiction) by Miriam Toews. 18:30 - "One Last Stop" (New Adult LGBT Romance) by Casey McQuiston. 18:59 - "Transcendent Kingdom" (Contemporary Adult Fiction) by Yaa Gyasi. 19:09 - "The Death of Vivek Oji" (Contemporary Adult Fiction) by Akwaeke Emezi. 19:18 - "Severance" (Science Fiction/Dystopia) by Ling Ma. Just in case you're wondering, the genre of each book is in the brackets. I also put some trigger warnings for two of the books - "The Girl With the Louding Voice" by Abi Daré and "Yolk" by Mary H.K. Choi - as these books contain heavy themes such as rape and eating disorders. Hopefully, this helps

I'm (hopefully) going to uni in September so I picked up your book - a few pages in, I wasn't sure if it was all going to be relevant to me having already picked my course, but I was laughing so hard (think biting-on-my-mask, starting to cry, borderline-hyperventilating laughing) that I had to buy it before the people in the shop started giving me odd looks... I ended up finishing it in two days! You're the only KZbinr whose videos I genuinely laugh out loud at and that translates effortlessly into your writing - you're so bloody entertaining. I found your book SO helpful and really reassuring about all sorts of things - thanks heaps x

[@karlarao8736]

I love how diverse your reading is 😌❤

[@laura-mt9ge]

That’s above the amount of books I expect to read this year, never mind this summer! Wish I could read 1 book per day 😅

[@AnnieBanapple]

my TBR just got so much longer but i'm thankful for it. love these recs!

[@kellytaylarkarim1608]

I’m so happy i stumbled upon Jack. He is my absolute favourite for book recommendations!

[@gabyrdz6567]

I trust Jack's recommendations more than anything else in life

[@elizamb5280]

Just finished 'Malibu Rising' and loved it, there isn't a big surprise as in her other 2 most popular books but this is my fave among them

[@Hannah10238]

Before the Coffee Gets Cold so so so good! I absolutely love it!

[@salmaramirez4578]

okay, first of all, jack is so relatable and second I need reading vlogs of all these books

[@nimrah5816]

omg yess im gonna read all of these this summer

[@padfoots_paws]

If only I could afford every book on my TBR

[@caitlin1132]

i’m not really in to time travel but i just finished before the coffee gets cold and it’s the first time i’ve cried at a book and still thinking about it a few days later also I have quite a few of these on my list so can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

[@liamjolliffe6708]

I love how positive your videos are!!

Pro-tip: combine No One is Talking About This with watching Bo Burnham's Inside for the perfect existential crisis.

[@veeiris]

literally just bought three new books and got home to this notif

[@justtippinmytophat2u647]

Loveless is incredible, one of my favourite books of all time. I hope anyone who reads it loves it as much as I do!

[@clementinescriven732]

YES. CIRCE. YES. I love that book, I was kind of sad that people were only reading Song of Achilles without giving Circe a chance. It’s so good, the depth of each character that Circe comes across, and how all the interactions leave her a little different then how they met her. It’s amazing.

[@youraveragemusicperson2176]

How fitting that I just went to the bookstore and bought 5 books yesterday

[@Siminutza09]

"So the author has also included a short story that HE's writen" love Jack's videos but am a bit disappointed he didn't know Curtis Sittenfeld is a woman not a man

[@ginat.8064]

Can’t blame him for not googling every author, Curtis is generally a name given to boys not girls.

[@eralonuva]

@@ginat.8064 Yeah but she's kind of a known author. She's written a lot of well-recieved books.

[@gisellecarlos5944]

absolutely loved this! 🙌 u should do “books that should be turned into movies immediately” or “books vs. their movies” . . . i’m literally always dying for a movie after i finish a book that i loved :D

[@hannahgohya]

i'm so glad you picked up 'Convenience Store Woman'! i walked into Kinokuniya (a bookstore we have here) and I was sucked into the book. because of its short length, I finished it within the first hour of being at the bookstore, lost track of time and had to rush out of the bookstore for dinner. i felt so bad about finishing the book in the store that I ordered a few copies to give away to my friends; they all loved it and I know you will too! it's magical.

[@jadehusdan-hicks]

the fact no one is calling him out that this is the second time he has hauled every book on his tbr tells me im not the only one who has no self control with book buying lmao

[@jadehusdan-hicks]

Im taking that like as encouragement to buy all my tbr 👀

[@manal797]

16:13 'A book everyone and their pet hamster has read' 🤣 Got a good chuckle out of that because I've been seeing Where the Crawdads Sing everywhere as well

[@BreakfastAtFabianas]

"before the coffee gets cold" made me cry rivers of tears... I have to buy the second one asap

my amazon book wishlist is always poppin after watching your vids x

Please make a video about Jack talking books on the tube. We need it.

CAN I HEAR A "HELL YEAH" FOR MY FELLOW ASEXUALS FOR BEING REPRESENTED IN A BOOK?

[@fibromiteready2fight809]

You should look into “let’s talk about love”. It’s about an asexual woman navigating life

[@Paula_Limberg]

@@aceatlasska4343 let us know if it's good! I don't usually read romance or introspective stuff (I prefer stories with more concrete events, easier to follow), but if you say it's really excellent and actually interesting, maybe I'll give it a try!

What if Jake reacted to youtuber apologies and judged the way they were delivered and the use of english (maybe if they were pre-scripted and written by ghost writers too)
