the best books i've read (according to goodreads)

Jack, you should read every book Isaac reads in heartstopper. He is such a cutie and we always see him with a book.

I don't know if it's intentional but I really appreciate Jack reading everything shown on the screen out loud

“i think my brain is in one of those phases where you just decide that you hate yourself” why is this so relatable 😭😭😭

imagine saying extremely casually "oh two members of the heartstopper cast just dmed me" 😭😭😭

Jack, you should do reading my subscribers favourite books! I think it would be fun and I just really want to see you read and get your opinion on les misèrables

Don’t fear the slump Jack, lean into it! It’s so natural to need a break after the insane volume of videos you’ve been pumping out. You can reassess and pivot if you need, in the meantime we have hundreds of your vids ripe for a rewatch.

« 2 members of the heart stopper movie and an author just texted me » we get it jack, you’ve made it😥😥🤣🤣 kidding, but you have done really well jack and I’m happy to see it

I haven’t watched the video yet but I’m putting my money on Jane Eyre Laid Bare to be the worst rated

Jack getting DMs from the big leagues. This is the character growth we wanted on the channel lol

The highest rated book I have seen on Goodreads is Know My Name by Chanel Miller (4.73). I love the book and I gave it 5 stars.

You’ve made mentions of how you’re going through some crap in your life…and I just wanted to say that whatever you’re going through in your personal life, just know that you aren’t alone. It’s okay to feel how you’re feeling. You will make it through this slump in your life. I hope you’re able to find time to bring yourself joy. hugs

You should do a video where you read all the books Issac from heartstopper read in the series :)

Jack! Are you going to do a part two to trying to solve the Cain's Jawbone mystery? Love you & so proud of you x

12:00 I actually really loved Educated, and I was really curious about the part where she just suddenly gets into Cambridge and that sort of academic success kind of follows her and she never deeply explains all that. I had two reactions first I was of course mind-blown and impressed, but a part of me also felt a little stung because as someone who's found getting into higher education so harrowing and emotionally exhausting by itself minus all that childhood trauma, I think I was more personally invested in how it just happened to her seemingly magically, like i felt some nasty envy. My personal theory about why she does not go into a lot of depth into that is because it has the potential to distract from what her point is (how education helped her to change her life), and to some degree I think not discussing those details also make it easy to see why she specifically struggled with such a strong imposter syndrome later on and almost gave up. By the end of the book, I did not really question the transition as much and found her story really impactful.

Just wanted to drop in and thank you, Jack, for your videos. I loved, loved, loved this one. I am a lifelong reader and I'm guessing at 73, I am one of your "wiser" (a term my doctor uses instead of older) followers. My "Books of Interest" Pinterest page is overflowing because of you -- that is not a bad thing at all. I so enjoy your insights into books.

I hope you’ll get soon back to a better mental space ! I am very thankful for your videos, love the energy and sincerity you exude! Take the necessary time to focus on yourself and come back stronger👊🏾

One of my favorite hobbies is reading the one star reviews to books that I also believe deserves one star. People are comical on there.

I like the concept of this video, but I feel Goodreads needs to work on its rating system. Sometimes a book is a 3.5 star, you know it's not bad enough to be 3, but not good enough to get a 4. I wish they add a .5 between each stars. That's why I've been using Storygraph since Jack suggested it although the interface and community over on GR is much better.

Hi Jack, you are wonderful and bring so much joy to my bookish feed. Please know you are appreciated and that we all feel shitty sometimes and it’s ok to take a break! Hope you fill your days with what you love and make your way toward feeling better! Sending hugs

We love you Jack! Don’t ever feel bad for taking a break and focusing on yourself 💛
