showing you every book we brought on holiday (with Dakota Warren)

[@dakotawarren]

my attention span in this video hahaha nothing was getting between me and those delicious figs

[@alejandropablos4562]

Figs being the best fruit of the summer

[@camelliaraychaudhuri742]

Lady, may we please be granted a vlog from this retreat?

[@sde078]

watching ur face while jack was reading the blurbs made my day

[@evangelinecantlemere6266]

But let's be honest, figs are the most dark academia fruit one can find!

[@heloisamanduca1996]

I wish I was the fig

[@flor8567]

Dakota's all giggly reading the books' blurb that sound like the true crime tiktok sound that goes "her arms were cut off, her legs were cut off, her ears..."

[@anntecz]

Love that we all think in tiktok sounds now haha

[@williamgowling847]

Crying at Jack showing us like stories about love, joy, and identity, and then Dakota showing us the most depraved books a person can read. Queen and King of Booktube honestly. (Happy to say my taste leans towards Dakota's)

[@gulbywulby]

THEIR VIBE IS EVERYTHING IM OBSESSED, WE NEED A PODCAST, A BOOK, A POSTER ANYTHING I CAN GET FROM YOU.

[@nunya1313]

YESS

[@lilydelacour]

6:00 I love how Jack is always looking at Dakota but she is only focused on those figs. 😂 Love the video 😁 And Milk Fed sounds super intriguing.

[@kimilatto7509]

Perfume was actually Kurt Cobain’s favourite novel, he’s written a song inspired by it called ‘scentless apprentice “ definitely cool to listen to while you read the book

[@oishee6467]

i read itt for him

[@oishee6467]

but the song screamsssssssss

[@readwithorla]

you both complement each other so well!! your personalities and styles both bounce off of each other perfectly

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Dakota and Jack. The Chaotic Booktuber Duo that have iconic laughing fits we love watching.

[@yourlocalhobbit04]

I am not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but for some reason Jacks videos help me focus. As someone with ADHD every time I pop one of these videos on while I am doing something I stay perfectly focused. Maybe that says something about Jacks ability to make engaging and easy to follow videos. Also, man single handedly revived my hobby of reading books not just buying them.

[@lovethelizard8387]

He is my comfort youtuber, I fall asleep on his videos when i struggle with bad thoughts at night. I also started reading because of him ( never really having been into reading before).

[@user-qu8zs7vs1x]

I usually feel the same but Dakota was so distracting in this!

[@lesbiangoddess290]

If we were villians was a ride and a half. Your holiday posts were so ethereal and cool. Could never be us. I love the contrasts between your tastes and its just fun to watch you guys bounce of each other's energy.

[@13kikyou]

I genuinely love this friendship and I love every bit of it.

[@leonieamon1075]

It’s so funny that the perfume is so unknown in England haha in Germany it is a big classic that you even read in school. :)

[@reniluu9715]

In welchen Bundesland lebst du? Unsre Bücherauswahl war immer …. Joar nh

[@moonchild._]

After watching so many Jack Edwards videos where he is alone in his space, it feels really weird to see him share space with someone. Good weird, though. Chaos max 😂

[@paritashah4650]

honestly ngl but if i did not know for the better I'd think you both filmed this while y'all were drunk😂😂 it's so adorable and funny and lovely ahhh.

[@ImperiatrixMatt]

The oboe is one of the most beautiful sounding instruments out there, and one of the most important in the orchestra as its A tunes the orchestra. Listen to Gabriel's oboe to find out.

[@IloveJohnMulaney]

The amount of serotonin this gives me is bigger than the book I’m reading right

[@amartyasingh6295]

Perfume is honestly my favorite book of all time at this point, saying that I'm obsessed would still be an understatement

[@Fivetimesthree]

I feel that way about the first half of the book.

[@jazminemcmahon5366]

Same

[@amartyasingh6295]

@@Fivetimesthree lol whT happened with the last half

[@emiIydickinson]

same!!!

[@Fivetimesthree]

@@amartyasingh6295 the quality of the writing fell off. The plot seemed to demand a different writer so when things get “spicy” it almost feels like a television show that got a new show runner or new writers.

[@shamamismael4300]

I am gonna watch this in a year from now. And then be looking at jack saying "boy you are holding your favourite book and you have no idea"

[@boutaina9443]

Perfume is one of the greatest stories of all time that also has a nearly perfect movie adaptation. You should definitely watch the movie after reading it, you're going to love it!

[@blue---monday]

I've never read anything like Suskind's Perfume before. It's utterly, brilliant. And the movie adaptation, oh boy, that was also something else. (in a good way)

[@Kiwi_DeFruit]

1:55 Buying ripe fruit to eat while you eat is just *magnificent vibes* 😌

[@manasvi4404]

*read

[@NoelleGallagher]

I said summer you said summertime sadness 💀💀💀💀

[@luisakaroline8104]

Perfume is my favourite book of all time and I hold it so close to my heart! It’s soo strange and abstruse and making you try to smell so much!

[@ellebannana]

An oboe is a beautiful double-reeded woodwind instrument. Look up Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony oboe solo to hear its sound. Also these book sets are fabulous! Perfume is so beautifully crafted that a number of the sensory descriptions still live in my head especially from the fireworks scene, despite the terrifying content.

[@nadiakirstine8998]

I was looking for new vids of you two earlier. This was such a great suprise, after getting home from work:)

[@angelathemoment]

Me, who has seen the perfume movie, seeing Dakota picked it up not knowing anything about it: oh boy 🙂

[@MissRaindrop24]

I read the book in school years ago and then watched the movie. It’s almost ten years ago and i still can’t say if I liked it or not. But frequently and randomly ask myself that 😂

[@amartyasingh6295]

It's a strange feeling for me when it comes to that movie, it's an amazing movie don't get me wrong but compared to the book it really, I mean it could never capture the senses intricacies the book had

[@itsnina2170]

Should I read the book?:)

[@tamaragutbrod2130]

I had to read the book for school and I hated it. It was strange and nothing happens in the middle of the book, it could have been 100pages shorter

[@angelathemoment]

@@tamaragutbrod2130 it's so bizarre to me that they make you read it for school, like it's a traumatic and weird book, wtf? why is it in the curriculum? Just cause it's old?

[@liliamuseum196]

You two make the best duo !! I can tell !! Thank youfor sharing your love for books 💞💞💞kisses to you lady dakota warren and Jack !!

[@nkfanning]

Much like the blurb of None of this is serious, I too was waiting for “something, ANYTHING, to happen” while I was reading it

[@Aristotel18]

I am from Croatia(Zagreb) and I am soooo happy you visited us💚

[@alexandraa23]

for some reason, I thought the background noise would begin to bother me but it was actually really nice, and I loved the noises of the city while they talked about their passion

[@Halsning]

Now THIS is my favourite duo

[@rosierecs.]

I want to say jack you're a huge inspiration and you're the best book youtuber out there

[@emiIydickinson]

perfume is absolutely FANTASTIC one of my favorite books ever

[@williamgowling847]

Crying at Jack showing us like stories about love, joy, and identity, and then Dakota showing us the most depraved books a person can read. Queen and King of Booktube honestly. Happy to say my taste leans towards Dakota's

[@filmaddict143]

y'all are alive lmfao I've been wondering when I would've seen either of you, I missed y'all 😭

[@luisahah123]

I read Perfume when I was in middle school, and I loved it. Looking back, perhaps not the most appropriated age, but oh well.. Still loved it

[@LuluST-nc6us]

I love the combination of the two of you! Great vibes! Was scared for a second because the video was gone . Enjoy yall's evening

[@jos4840]

perfume is an absolute treasure, i’ve never read a book that sings olfaction so vividly before

[@erinsbooks]

I was missing this content from this channel so much!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’ve been waiting for a new video these past few days and finally we’re here!

[@sclumptuous]

jack i NEED a none of this is serious review from you so bad. i saw you rated it two stars on instagram and i just need to see the perspective of another person who didnt enjoy this book. every bookshop in ireland that ive walked into in the past couple of months has had this on their bestsellers shelves but i HATED IT. i need to hear a voice to validate my perspective here because it seems like everyones obsessed at the moment

[@williamgowling847]

"if you know you know, if you don't, allow me to fill you in" is my mantra for conversing with other humans

[@leemsv7046]

Jack you got me into reading

[@RamonaGelosi]

Same for me

[@avneesh6299]

He got me back

[@yasi1009]

I read Perfume in my german class in school and I loved it so much. I hope Dakota will enjoy it 🙂🖤

[@rashichoudhary2006]

I've missed you, Jack. Lovely to see a video.

[@Handmedownmac2]

Perfume had me ROLLING in laughter!! So dark, so hilarious.

[@ivythompson63]

i absolutely ADORE your collaborations

[@Jane4077]

You know you are too old for Jack's channel when they think the 80's is really really old!🤣 FYI I was a kid in the 80's and last time I checked I'm definitely not dead...yet!

[@ophelia3646]

"I said summer, you said summer time sadness" LMAO i love u guys < 3

[@joeym6658]

perfume both intrigued and traumatised me, never read anything quite like it before or since

[@movingforwardLDTH]

LOL, as a former oboist (whose father always threatened to take me with him on his duck hunting trips - no, I wasn’t very good), I’m 100% positive you’ve heard one.

[@flo.1018]

HAAAAA MY LOVES. you two literally are everything to me. ily both sm.

[@urlocalwhatever]

i'm very sorry jack but i can't keep watching your videos, my tbr is literally exploding😂

[@dearcoral6311]

I LOVE HER AESTHETIC!combination of tattoo necklace and red!😍trying to focus on content🥲😪

[@kiarakiaraaa2010]

More! more! more! We want more of you guys together!!!!

[@emmaberger3748]

I love your videos together because you both just have so much fun

[@gemmm8381]

OMGG an upload from my favorite booktubers on my birthday!!!

[@annacilialamonatotumelero5635]

jake I am BEGGING ON MY KNEES for you to do a video on books from brazilian literature (Clarice Lispector, Machado de Assis and millions others, I can give some recommendations if you'd like)

[@reallygoodatfolding]

Old books smell different because of the chemical compounds breaking down in the paper!

[@FreshBread699]

If We Were Villians is so good, even when you reread it you notice new thing ab it

[@DorkieDorie]

Screaming at oboist being mimed as a violin

[@lindakurtenbach6644]

I'm so excited to see what Dakota thinks of "Perfume". I've seen the film and well it's safe to say it was something. But if she likes the book I might just read it as well

[@ppeachygee]

omggg perfume is such an amazing book, i feel like both of u would love it!!! was so so good i need to reread it. also fun fact it was kurt cobains favourite book hahhaha. love ur guys energy together!!!

[@sunrisesilence]

Süßkind was actually pronounced correctly in the beginning, yes the dots are important Also, an information for anyone without an 'ü', dont just write 'u', but rather 'ue'

[@tabithafahey1017]

I'm so fucking excited for this ahh!!!! Dakota looks beutiful

[@patiencekillz]

as a band kid, them not knowing what an oboe was made my eye twitch

[@sarahnoll9018]

Jack channeling a Love Island boy with this tan tho

[@Croweye89]

Perfume is such a good book! Unlike anything else I have ever read and one of my favourite books of all time

[@miggs7173]

Oh my gosh Perfume!!!! It’s such a brilliant book! It will stay with you

[@theworldof11]

Hi Edward (and Dakota, and whoever reads this) I'd love to see you read the book "apple tree yard" i was really intriuged by it but I can't read books with sex scenes because i can't deal with them in my head but it's a really cool concept, it's a thriller/crime book about this woman (she's the narrator), which is pretty common but twist it's 2nd pov, she talks to *you* the reader, about what happened and stuff, it's very cool concept and I'd love to see people I follow (and look up to) read and rate it, because i might pick it up again if it's good

[@maheswarijeyabalan8784]

I thought If We Were Villains is better on audio. There's a lot of Shakespeare in there and its done to perfection as a play by the characters. Love this book!

[@sdtngo]

0:50 oh no… all i’m gonna say is: good luck, jack, i hope you don’t get traumatised as i did, haha. the blurb got me too x”D.

[@patricijabiskup948]

Welcome to Croatia! Hopefully my beutiful country will fulfill your expectations.

[@human4147]

I literally just bought Vile Bodies because the guy in The Sandman recommended it lol

[@boxdfin5808]

I love how happy u guys are omg this is a gorg video x

[@callmechrisy]

If we were Villains is one of my absolute favourite books 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@barbara9315]

I don’t know about others,but we peel off the fig skin before we eat the fruit.The skins can greatly upset the stomach.

[@laurenschenck5355]

Great videos and Jack and Dakota and I love you both so much and amazing wonderful KZbinrs ❣️

[@ItsMeMiana]

crying cause i don't have a friendship like this 😭

[@xenne.]

the way jack looks at dakota 😉

[@Leanae]

Omg I’m going on vacations tomorrow and I just got if we were villains and thought I should read it so now I’m just convinced

[@the_chosenone]

you both look happy together

[@amandarockhold8390]

the pride i felt when i knew what an oboe was

[@leemsv7046]

this duo>>>>

[@makebablondell3177]

Fav chaotic duo

[@ReadingNymph]

This was so happy and lovely 😊

[@layma5113]

[@rubes19]

Milk fed is so so good

[@sabrinaoliveros1815]

this video did make me want to buy more books but mostly it made me want to go buy figs

[@tabithafahey1017]

perfume is one of my faves

[@lilieelise7478]

Oh my god I loved „das Parfum“! It’s just really really good. Weird but good.

[@jazminemcmahon5366]

So excited for your review of perfume

[@kiraguehring2729]

The pronunciation of Süskind is very impressive 💕

[@portiakunz3378]

I had such mixed feelings about Milk Fed. Interested to hear what you think.

[@elisazouza]

pls read dakota's suggest books!!! i saw on ur tiktok and you gotta read em! also i wanna read perfume!

[@lunaticyellow1339]

Not me scrolling the comments to find the oboe playing jack edwards fans 👀👀

[@amarasteele4016]

Not only is Jack back....he brought Kota.

[@mylifeisameme9408]

I would be ashamed to not know what oboa is ngl 😆😆

[@RobotPorter]

What's with all the background noise? Is there a party you weren't invited to going on in the next room? Or is that flat in a train station? 😉

[@honestlyholly7657]

Sounds like air con

[@jasminesmith6361]

I love love love If We Were Villains!!!
