It’s also giving "Jim organised my books alphabetically by first sentence so now I can’t find AntHiNG" so it’s perfect on every level.
Honestly, if Jack ever had a bookshop in real life, I'd fully expect it to be called Read the Room. 🤣❣️
I really think you should keep the room in this layout! Every month, you could have your current faves as those facing outwards, and keep your monthly TBR on the island! Plus, it's just happy vibes :)
literal goals tbh, experiencing the dopamine rush of walking into a bookstore and seeing so many beautiful book covers, but at home, for free. Genius.
at this point, jack could really open a book exhibition, let's be honest-

This video was so much fun! I work in a book shop, and i can tell you that writing those little recommendation notes, and people trusting them enough to buy the book is pure joy! And if they then come back and say they loved the book and want more recommendations?? Christmas!
this is the most wholesome content ever, from jack building his dream library to playing pretend as an independent book seller.
This is so perfect!

Hi
"My toy to play with now" only Jack Edwards can say it for a room filled with books... 😂
This is giving me the vibes of when my grandparents let me convert their living room into a library with my papa's recliner and TV tray my desk to check out books. Each wall was their own genre, they were signs to be quiet, and every book in the house had a library card in it. It stayed that way for years. #notspoiled 😂
Sorry for making this about me, but I just want to let you know that I started watching you a year ago and you have inspired me to pursue a Literature degree. I just finished at community college and I’ll be transferring to my dream university in a couple of months at an unconventional age because watching your channel made me realize that I would not be satisfied with my life if I didn’t just go for it. Your channel is inspiring and really makes me excited about reading and writing books.
This is such a perfect and wholesome idea! Absolutely Indie bookstore pinterest vibes.

If this was a real public book shop I would come every day!
I wish jack would state his opinion about the recent Audible drama about the prices and how they are basically monopolistic in the audio book industry.. it’s sad and needs more people to talk about it..
This brought me so much joy! "Read the Room Bookstore" is the perfect name!
I laughed so much when you said " I turned my home library to bookshop ", my mom always say that to me saying if I sell my books I can make fortune but no my books are the richness it self 😂

@@rubyanddelilahandnani yes totally right books are meant to be for generation not only for us, I was building my own library since I was a little one and it grows with me, some people spent their money on vacation, expensive clothes a d nothing goes wrong with that of they have money but for me having more books is my ultimate target, I am now 46 and I have more than 6000 books, let's see if I could have more in the future which almost is a crazy decision to make right now due to the economic crises but I did put honestly the September month of every year to buy some books especially English because I really don't have so much and this is making me frustrated and angry due to their expensive prices. If someone could gifted me some I will be so thankful and delightful. Thanks for stopping by and comment. Wish you a good health
As a bookseller, this made me giggle the entire video
This is 12 minutes and 54 seconds of joy and play. More of this in life please!!!!
"READ THE ROOM" is a fantastic name for a bookstore tbh?!!!
My one real dream in life is to have a home library/ cafe that people could drop by and borrow/ buy for a donation or completely free. Just in like a detached shed. So this is serious vibes. I just feel like there arent enough free places people can go to simply be and some places don't have accessible libraries
Jack's play pretend is our entertainment. Thanks Jack! 🤓
This was a fun video to watch! Suggestion: Jake maybe consider doing a series interviewing and/or a day in the life of a someone working in books: author, editor, bookstore keeper, someone that works in archives, a book binder, a collector of rare books, and someone with a unique private library etc!

The ending is giving Aziraphale doing everything in his power to not sell one single book
Jack! Your bookstore looks FANTASTIC, and you’ve given me many ideas for my own bookshelves! Thank you!❤️
Just bought my first house and the idea for the library was exactly to make into a bookstore for myself! The closet has stationery and totebags, the table in the middle has all the 12 editions of Outlander I own ❤
It is really giving of cozy bookshop vibe... that we come across in a small deserted alley... between the city rush. Really cool!!! Loved the video ✨
I would love to come to this book store😩The dedication.
It reminds me of the tiny room-bookshop that sprung up in my local train station. If I saw pictures of that on google, I'd definitely think bookstore

“Jack-ademia” 🤣 I can’t. The witty puns are too good
Is this a bookshop or a pharmacy? Jack really hitting us with that unreadable derpy handwritting. Dont take it personally, im just jealous of the library and disposable income lol
This video made me smile so much. This is peak of 'doing what makes you happy.'
The thumbnail itself gives me serotonin ❤
As a bookstore worker this is exactly how I go about shelving things and it's so sweet to see someone enjoying it
oh my gosh... When I have enough room to have my library be it's own thing I am 1000% doing this. It is giving me so much joy watching this.
I laughed so hard with the fly being the first customer 😂
im usually a quiet audience and doesn’t comment here but i NEED a video of jack organizing the shelves like how libraries do!! it’s the former library staff and INFJ in me that i just have to watch it 🥲🫠
Looks like an actual bookstore INCREDIBLE JOB Jack amazing work! ❤
This really just kept getting better. I love the dedication but also I know want my own home library to play with. And the lines killed me! Dark jackademia!! 😂😂
Love this! We all need little indie book stores in our homes. Such a vibe.
This is giving ME when i was little, with everything i had, i made boutiques of my clothes, a shoe store, bookstore, stationery shop, a miscellaneous store (very creative ha ha), obviously a toy store and what not..... this video made me so happy
this is such a vibe...imagine just "shopping" for a book in your own home. luv it.
I laughed so hard when I thought of you turning your whole appartment into a bookstore and every furniture in every room is just used as a book display 😂
"I love them all dearly", whilst having Dune in the background 😂
‘There’s a fly in the room- is that my first customer?’ Looove 😂😂
i nearly cried watching this. its so beautiful. you are living the dream.
This just kept getting better and better, love how much fun he had with it !!
All the cloth binds are gorgeous. Jack did such a great job. I loved this type of video from him.
Love that you share your honest ideas with us … Makes me feel like I am not alone 😊
the shaky camerawork really ties it all together
this is so delightful! all it needs is a cosy reading nook
Okay but having your tbr on top of the cabinet may be satisfying
Well Done Jack!! Love your cozy book shop!
Okay this is just SO SATISFYING. It looks so fricken good 😍 I’m moving our *big bookshelf* into my room soon so, get ready for me to make an even more budget version of this 🤣
this was ahonestly such an endearing video. i was smiling from beginning to end. jack your energy is truly infectious
not me being shocked at how cute this book shop turned out. I’m genuinely smiling at this 😂
I started watching your videos in the middle of the night when I just had my daughter and of course didn’t sleep for months 🤣 I still watch you now she’s 2 and she recognises your voice and it instantly comforts her 🥹 so thank you for getting me through the insanity of sleep deprivation x ur a real 1 x
This is adorable. I would love to see people (friends, family, neighbours maybe) interact with the space and actually choose books to read. It would bring even more life into it
"Harper Collins - what's good?" I bursted out at that one ngl 😂😂
This is definitely one of my fav vids, I mean, I enjoy each video that gets uploaded, but this one, specifically, gave me so much joy
This video was SO much fun. I actually work at a bookstore, and setting books like that is my pride and joy. And yes, I alsp display my faves whenever I get the chance. You did a marvelous job at recreating a bookstore! This might genuinely become my favorite video of yours because it's a little silly but so, so fun.
The way I adore this video and the idea in itself😍 Now I’m all excited to do something new with my reading corner!
This video is so riculous but so extra at the same time ! So much fun, I love it ! Looks exactly like an independant bookstore
I subscribed because of your library - and it looks so GOOD as an independent eclectic bookstore ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Please keep playing around with your library, you are putting dreams to reality! 🤗🤗🤗
This video really is… watching a man playing with his books. This is everything.
It's the way you were LIVING and GIDDY for your library. I'm here for it and am moving to do the exact same thing!
I honestly love how wholesome this felt
I love this and I would be tempted to leave part of it up to perhaps spark reading or writing ideas. Just needs a rug and a cosy chair/lamp/side table!😊
seeing your new books, I'm excited. I saw that you were learning french when you were in Paris, honestly for learning a language, reading books in that language is so helpful, especially when you passionate about it
Jack you are the absolute cutest! Your love and enthusiasm for your books is infectious!! Youve just taken the childhood home corner role play to true bibliophile level!! Love you amd your videos and I look forward to the bext one!! 🙂
This is the kind of stuff I used to do as a kid and I couldn't love it more! Well done!
the master and margarita is one of the best books i’ve ever read, its just incredible

I love this so much 😭😭😭 jack needs to do this for real one day
Hope you write more books you are amazing writer and so talented and gifted Jack 😊
Ohmygosh Jack it looks so great!!! The first impression when entering the room actually made me squeal haha This basically made me (a librarian) want to go straight to work and cover my assigned sections with recommendation cue cards
