Jack's friend probably took one look at his TBR pile and thought "This man needs time to read, and I'm gonna give it to him"

don’t we all have a pitifully long TBR?

Nathaniel Drew locking Jack Edwards into his flat ostensibly by accident but more than likely to force him to read books is not the content I expected from two of my favourite content creators but I'm here for it. Love both of your videos!

I love how jack turns every opportunity into a reading challenge. we stan

[@victoriarufo830]

Even if I was locked in, I think I'd find so many other distractions and forget to read. Jack continues to be blessed by the book gods so he can read lmao.

[@minano-nim6795]

I've been there. Spent so long trying to decide WHAT to read that I didn't manage to do any reading by the time the door for unlocked XD

Few video ideas: 1)What Emma Watson reads 2)All the books mentioned on F.R.I.E.N.D.S 3)Reading books recommended by your subscribers 4)Banned books 5)One book from every genre 6)Only reading translated book for a week 7)What Jisoo from Blackpink reads 8)Books about religion 9)Biographies and Autobiographies 10)Celebrity lifestyle part 2 11)How different your life is in Paris and in England

Jack got locked in his apartment and thought - this is a great business opportunity!

[@ren-the-genderfluid1747]

As a Trinidadian, I'm so happy that The Bread the Devil Knead got nominated!! I'm also so glad you enjoyed it! I hope you can do more Caribbean literature in the future, though just like The Bread the Devil Knead, creole narrative voices take a while to get used to but I hope that won't deter you from reading more Caribbean books!!

[@user-vy2hz6fl6x]

Omg cool

[@shahtheshark]

Yes same! I finished reading it recently and it was amazing!

[@radiosilnce]

@Santosh Parvatikar i think it’s just a Caribbean/ Trinidadian saying doesn’t rlly have to follow “correct” English grammar

[@diya8869]

I did not enjoy the book

[@Felix-tc3ny]

whenever jack uploads on the second channel you just know that it's going to be completely unhinged and slightly concerning

[@fionahowellwrites5302]

This sounds like something that would happen to me. I always get locked into places randomly. The first day of college, the doorknob of the bathroom in my dorm, BROKE off in my hand. I was like, seriously??? The professor would never believe my story of getting stuck in the bathroom...there was another girl in there too and she freaked out. Luckily, I could put the handle back in and use it. I was laughing though. I had to tell the manager of the building. First day of classes....I'll never forget it....

[@Emily_23_]

This is horribly close to home given I currently have coronavirus and am isolating in a hotel room…. thanks Jack for making relatable content 😂

[@annatattersall249]

That sounds dangerous from a “what if there’s a fire” standpoint… having locks that work that way in the first place.

[@amelioratedadaptation3871]

I’m guessing there’s a fire escape, maybe he just didn’t care that much to get out if there wasn’t an emergency?

[@kc7159]

I watch like 5 KZbinrs these days and they still somehow interact. What a world

[@pavanmutyala695]

Lol 😂

[@rachaelm7084]

I saw *”A Man Called Ove”* on your TBR pile and it’s the best book I’ve read this year. Not to overhype it, but the writing style paired with the subject matter and themes presented in the book were so well knitted together.

[@mayafrank3656]

I agreeee!! So amazing!!

[@tuvahelen6928]

If you haven´t already, you should definitely read Backman´s "Beartown" as well!! Even better than "a man called ove" in my opinion :D

[@rachaelm7084]

You should read all of the books that Isaac reads in Heartstopper !!

[@kasunkavishka2976]

He did I think orrr he said that he is going to do it. I can't remember properly.

[@sarah_zamri]

Same thing happened to me a few weeks back. Got locked inside the house by my housemate who was already on her way to work. The broken knob can only be lock/unlock from the outside. What's worst was my car breaking down the same day, and I was already late for work! Thank goodness my supervisor was understanding and let me take the day off to settle things. Took the opportunity to listen to "They Both Die at the End" by Adam Silvera, and received weird stares at the workshop with my sobbing 😂

[@jessicacrowe-pace3155]

I literally just watched Nathanial Drew's pt. 2 of his 'moving in' series and now I am here. You can't tell me that fate doesn't exist. I love that you two are friends omg.

[@lina5699]

I loved that quote you shared. I really want to get more out of my reading experience so I'll remember that quote more, like remember what makes you think and reflect

[@Msferedrose]

Loved this! As always, motivated me to get reading

[@eliananoei652]

If it was me, I would not have been able to relax thinking what if the apartment catches fire. Have I ever seen an apartment catch fire? No but that would be all I could think about,...

[@devlyn873]

Yes! That you! The potential fire hazard danger from being locked in is stressing me out! I have seen apartments catch fire so that's probably just making me more stressed about it

[@janecourt5000]

As a matter of fact, yes, I have been locked in my flat. Several times. All times by my sister. My set of keys is bent and can't unlock the door from the inside, but she is well aware of this, and does not bother to check if anybody's home.

[@thunderstorms6886]

This made me laugh so hard 😂😂 Also curious, younger sister or older? 😂

[@unimoon3862]

How would you escape if there is a fire? Sorry if that is a silly question

[@janecourt5000]

@@thunderstorms6886 Older, as in full-blown adult, she will be 21 this year. As a solution, she suggested that I put I sign on my bedroom door, which would mean that I would have to keep track of when SHE comes and goes, instead of her simply opening my door...

[@wiebkedombrowski]

Lol. Sry Jack but well done Nathaniel XD. I've locked myself out a couple weeks ago and had to wait outside freezing my good side off sooo, being locked in is not ideal, but if it leads to this, not a bad idea. I actually just found Nathaniels channel this week and it's so cool. And you guys being roomies for now is awesome.

[@Ella-gi3xb]

Every time I’m feeling pessimistic, I watch your videos because you teach me to see the nice in less favorable conditions and this is a perfect example

[@addunk355]

I absolutely love your content, man! Please keep them coming!!!!!!

[@sillyslicker1]

Oh, wow. In the U.S. (or at least everywhere I've been), if a door is locked, you can still open it from the inside, and I had assumed that that was the norm, for the last few decades.

[@alyssia7239]

It is probably a safety norm now for new buildings or renovated ones (you need to be able to get out in case of emergencies) but I have had doors that had the keyhole on both sides, which means that if someone closes the door from either side with the key, you need the key to open it

[@sillyslicker1]

@@alyssia7239 That would just make me so nervous 😬

[@yowo6105]

Here in Europe (at least where I've lived), closing the front door will close it from the outside but you can still open it from the inside, then when you actively lock the door as well, it can't be opened from either side because this lock pin just goes through a hole in the doorpost. As far as I'm aware, both new and old doors have this system

[@Kai-lv6lu]

I feel like that book for me so far this year is the hungry tide, I read it on your recommendation and I have not stopped thinking about.

[@janhaveejaware9138]

Hey Jack! I've gotten locked in my flat before too.😅The guy who distributes our newspapers accidentally locked the door latch when he was leaving the newspapers. Also,this vlog was a gift!

[@TheFlowerGirl77]

Hi. Great way to spend a locked in (a house) day. One thought I had is perhaps the owners of the home looked you up before approving you for the let and found out you love books and so intentionally placed the Jack book there. My suggestion: Read it. See if it is any good. 😊

Geez Nathaniel is one of my fave youtubers. Cant really do the things he's done esp during the lockdown and got stuck in a different country. Such a smart person!

[@lamefanger6280]

Nathaniel isn't a booktuber. His content is more about travel (though now that he got a place in Paris he'll probably stay put a lot more) and bettering himself.
