Reading books is a hobby. Buying books is a hobby. Feverishly writing down every single one of Jack’s recommendations to add to my TBR is a hobby.

[@maryammm7146]

Read every book Emma Watson recommends !

[@tristonalblas3789]

That would be like so so so many books😂😂 She has a whole bookclub

[@swatiashing4444]

@@tristonalblas3789 ohh he'll she has🤣

[@dam_fireheart7252]

Yes plz! She is the best actor, and seems sophisticated enough for me to predict that she has good taste

[@deepaification]

Yesssss! That would be great! 💃🏻

[@HalfBloodOtter]

That hypocrite who had her names in panama papers? Idk why yall idolize her so much

[@ferbfletcher3151]

VIDEO SUGGESTIONS: 1. Reading Emma Chamberlain books recs 2. Reading banned books 3. Reading the books that Oscar movies are based on ( power of the dog) stuff like that

[@bookshelfbyla]

love the reading banned books idea!

[@grannyru8730]

Reading banned books would make a really interesting video !

[@xepherauden7647]

Love these

[@rhianx]

He should do the Oscars one since the event is coming up 😂

[@plsuniversegivemeagothbabepls]

Ooh reading banned books is a really cool idea !

[@amagran24]

Hello Jack! Currently reading many of your recommendations one after another. I have a video idea for you: do a video by Ukrainian authors and send the proceeds to Ukraine. Thank you for your fundraising events as well!

[@sofiiakornatska1086]

I love this idea. It might be difficult to find [good] Ukrainian literature in English, especially contemporary. But it's worth to look for it. I'm Ukrainian by the way, and would be happy to help with the book search or anything related:)

[@hanghoang4041]

I love this idea! Really hope Jack would consider it ✨✨

[@RyanHaile]

I would rather see him do it for Ethiopia or Yemen, or other places tbh

[@liyaqua]

@@RyanHaile Why not all? :) We cannot exactly pick and choose which war in which country is more important than the other

[@Kiki-oo3bw]

i dont think it's possible for him to do a video and donate the money to charities, for every country that's currently in a war. it's also not fair at all to do it for just Ukraine, when there have been wars in POC countries for decades.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

‘None of this is serious’ sounds so cool! I wish the author all the best 👏🏽

[@erintalia9490]

a sequel for we were liars is beyond exciting!! please update us on what you think of it 🥰

You should do a video on a Anya Taylor-joy’s book reccomendations she posted a bunch on instagram.

I read some of E. Lockheart's other books as a teen and I really enjoyed them... I was expecting We Were Liars to be a light read, but uh, I will never be ready to get wrecked like that. Cudos to you for having the mental fortitude to read the prequel, because I cried so much that I know I couldn't handle any of that

[@Adeodatus100]

I nearly jumped off my sofa at the mention of Elektra. The story is phenomenal. And horrifying. And wonderful. And I have to wait about 6 weeks for the book to come out!

[@Momin_Azam]

I am currently reading “We Were Liars”, and I had no idea there was a prequel! I’m liking “We Were Liars” so far, so hopefully by the end I love it, and I will want to pick up the prequel!

[@ellfx]

So excited for you to read Parable of the Sower! Easily the best book I've read so far this year, you'll love it

[@alwaysgettingthere]

Octavia Butler is SO good, I read Kindred for my uni course and I stan black science fiction as a genre so hard

[@katiegraves1704]

parable of the sower is one of my favorite books ever- Butler is such an icon!! I would love to know your thoughts- I had to read it for a lit and utopia class in uni and I have read it a couple times since! If you loved the YA/dystopian movement of 2012, this is very much the "grown up" version of that! Sooo good- I've also had kindred on my shelf for a while and am hoping to get to that soon as well! love your channel!

[@leilajaafari8436]

Hi Jack: Fantastic variety here! Loving that you really are branching out this year - including that massive paves novel!! Still need a bit more non-fiction but stupendous selection! Can’t wait to sink my teeth into some of them myself! PS - Twelfth Night is a FANTASTICALLY FUN read and is Comedy with dramatic undertones. I think Harry Styles would approve! One of my favourite Shakespearean tales! Looking forward to more feminine Greek heroes too!!! Hope you enjoy them all! 🌹 and the gang

I'm reading the Parable of the Sower with some friends for a bookclub, and I'm like 20 pages away from finishing it. It's so good!
