Jack!! I’m a student and one of my professors has a nonprofit bookstore in Hoboken, NJ. It’s called Symposia Community Book Store. My professor and his wife sell used books and use the store as a community center. Years ago, my professor would give puppet shows to children there. Just an idea for a fun little trek outside of NYC :)

Oh this would be so great!! They are always such special people! They also know so many books because they choose their collection themselves. He should read their all time favourite and a recent one!

This reminds me of a wedding I went to recently. I was a bridesmaid and told to be at the venue and ready by 1pm. I was and I was the only one ready. I got bored and went across the street in my bridesmaid dress to a small indie bookstore. May have been the highlight of the trip. 😂

at the wedding of my mom's godchild i actually buried myself in the hotel lounge with some trashy followup to gone with the wind i found in the hotel's library 😂

I love how Jack acknowledges Translating Authors and Independent Bookstores. I haven’t been to an Independent Bookstore in ages.

Independent bookshops just hit different, they seems so cozy and welcoming

also if you like Japanese Lit, I highly recommend visiting Books Kinokuniya in Bryant Park. Its a haven of Asian literature, as well as an upper floor dedicated entirely to Manga!

as a queer girl living in a small town in the south, living in nyc and going to independent bookstores with chloe moriondo playing in the background is my literal dream. thanks for letting me live vicariously through you 💕

I love watching your nyc bookstore adventures

it's 1am, i've just completed a 2000 word essay that's due tomorrow that i started writing less than 12 house ago, Jack always knows the best time to post :)

Why do schoolwork when Jack has posted riddle me that?

independant bookstores have the best vibe ever! thank you for the amazing content as always :)

being blessed by all these videos Jack!!

Left Bank Books in Greenwich Village is an interesting book store if you haven’t already been. Astoria Bookshop in Astoria (Queens) is also a lovely independent shop within walking distance from the Museum of the Moving Image, which you might also enjoy. Enjoy your time in NY!

You're making me very nostalgic. I just found my copy of Beezus and Ramona from the NYC Society Library that my Mom got me at a library sale. We would hang out there all the time after school upstairs. It was so cozy! I miss it.

I actually saw The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida in a bookstore not too long ago and thought it sounded (and looked) really interesting, but then I was like, dear me, I am already currently reading more than five books simultaneously, I can wait for Christmas for more.

I wish I had more independent bookstores where I live

Jack, I'm living vicariously through your vlogs, I love them so much! Keep up the good work💕

Every time you record a book haul you should add a countdown to 1k book to keep us updated as to how many books you have left before you can claim you have a library at home 😂😂😂

Oh we are getting FED with all these bookstore vlogs + hauls 😌

Ugh I’m so jealous😔 I literally live in a city that has absolutely no bookstores in it and seeing how many you went to makes me soooo envious

Jack Im loving these "little" videos as you call them

my sister and i recently discovered that we're both addicted to any jack content, was a slay bonding moment

Super curious: How will you take all the books you've bought in NY back to the UK? Or are you staying there indefinitely? I'm over here guessing the amount of suitcases

the vibes in this video are immaculate!!

That Daniil Kharms "Today I Wrote Nothing" book is really good, I majored in Russian Literature in my undergrad, and we read it. Very funny and interesting

Loving all these NYC vlogs, keep em coming!

I only recently just got into ur videos and it's perfect because there's so many to catch up on so in the mean time you're just uploading more. It's like an endless supply of book videos lol

Thank you so much for this video. Bookstore wandering was just what my heart needed!

I'm so envious of your life Jack ❤

Housing works has supplied my last two absolute favs. The cutest spot 💓💓 and ofc we love the mission

i hope to visiting nyc soon for either school or fun, and your videos are adding to the list of places i want to go to!! thank you for another amazing video jack!!

It's really nice of you to support them ! 👌🏻

Love you exploring NYC! And totally found some new books to check out!

i love how the title sounds like one of those lovely music playlists

The Woman Destroyed is one of my favorite books!!! i’m so excited to hear your opinion

i actually read a comment from a subscriber and suggested you do this… I can’t believe you did ! This is so cool of you! 💓

I hope you enjoy your time here in NYC, Jack!! Check out the gorgeous Argosy Book Store in Midtown (oldest indie bookstore in the city), the amazing Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, and if you haven't yet experienced Sleep No More in Chelsea, you absolutely owe it to yourself to go, one of the most insane and wonderful nights of exploratory art you'll ever have.

i love your taste in music and your vlogs

1:34 yes we are all obsessed with that song indeed

breakfast is always great when i can watch somebody browse through bookstores and vibe to ✨space girl✨

YESYESYES this made my day thank u jack

Agreed on the Monster trail mix being top tier! I don’t get trail mix often because I’ve always disliked raisins but I used to get that one and feed my roommates the leftover raisins

2:19 I bought this book “pure colour” for aesthetics and it was actually a very moving book!

i love exploring indie bookstores. they are so so so cute! there's a documentary that i think you should watch. it's called The Booksellers. it's about booksellers around new york and how they started, the history or bookselling, and rare collections. i think you would love it especially since you live in new york!

Target Trail mixes are soooo good. ❤️ Picking up Simone's book.

Love the bookstores ❤

I’m melting over the cover of Simone de Beauvoir’s book 🫠 Stunning! 😍

I started reading Seven Moons yesterday evening and then this video comes up, beautiful

keeping tabs on all these bookshops for my nyc trip! many thanks 📚🐛

Target’s trail mixes are all generally great. I’ve enjoyed basically every kind I’ve had so far.

Seriously love you showing us bookstores all over ny

I went to a ton of indie bookstores when I was visiting New York this fall. Three Lives and Co has the most impeccable vibe and the booksellers are super kind and knowledgable

"Space Girl" 😄 I love that song and I know I was introduced to it when you used it in a previous video.

Stunning you being a swiftie rn ✋✋

I LOVE the Woman Destroyed - so good

If the Empire State Building is reflected on your TV, I'm fairly certain your bank account is just fine! 😂

if you went to mcnally jackson you were also close to sweet pickle books! super cute used bookstore that also sells pickles :') lower east side has a bunch of great bookstores! would also recommend book club and bluestocking cooperative! :)

Thanks for linking that NYC book site! Now I know there is a black woman-owned bookstore/winebar in my borough, (the Bronx)! Also, I think those bookstores will be happy to let you film and promote them if you let them know your audience size, so you don't have to hide!

Thanks Jack for doing this.

O.M.G. About you is THAT song😭Jack, you just get it

Those books look stunning 😍

AAAH I love mercer street books so much!! I was just there when I was in NYC for halloweekend and I got an adorable bag from it!

It's my dream to live in new york when im older so im deffo saving this for that day. ALSO TAYLOR SWIFTTTTT. Also love the space girl during the lil clips its so vibey

YES I LOVE THAT TRAIL MIX 😂😭

ugh i can not wait to move out of my parents house and be independent. i swear i’ll be at the book store 24/7

THATS MY FAV TRAIL MIX TOO OMG

As graduated fashion student I love the ootd part in the video. Very important of course😌

OMMMMGGGGG… Thank you for this link.!!! I’m looking to visiting new bookstores in NYC. 👍🏾

just know this will be the best 9 minutes of my life

Jack hi! The book “ The seven moons of Maali Almeda “ just started reading it. And can I say WOW! The diction and imagery truly put me into the world of the book. The philosophical theme of questioning reality, religion, one’s place in this chaos we call our lives, the repetition of the garbage and the blood stained people. It is beautiful. Attention to detail is above par. I am only on the First Moon (chapter 1), but something nevertheless had to be said. Many thanks for the book recommendation, I am loving it. Not suppressing it has one awards.

Loved the “CHEAP” section ☺️ lol

I love how Jack is a Swiftie (:

This video just made me happy.

Omg you’re in NYC! Welcome ❤️

all i can think about is OMG CHARGE YOUR PHONE JACK

Hey Jack! I love your videos so much and ur so inspiring 💗 it was my birthday a few days ago and i would lovve a birthday wish from you 💕

LOVEE the bookstores ❤

i miss nyc :((( alsooo fly lady dakota over there!!!

Jack, you do not have to worry about your subtle and surreptitious Broll shots. You wanna hear what I did at Three Lives? I walked in with my own canon G7x and asked if I could film, to which they said no. I then proceeded to go outside, take out my TRIPOD, and film myself walking in and out of three lives in various angles. I had never been so mortified at myself in my life, but it was also a very good vlog segment. So carry on Jack, there are worse people out there lol (ie me)

McNally Jackson and Housing Works!!

Love seeing the new bookstores in New York I want to visit! You should definitely check out Alabaster Books - it's second-hand mostly and shouldn't be too far away from you as it's right beside Union Square

Hi Jack, i just wanna say the we love you, have a nice day

I'm so jealous of you, there are literally no bookstores in my town.

The video picture when you click on it I forgot the name of it but it was so aesthetic I thought this was a lofi music ambience video. Love that

I absolutely love mcnally!!! They have great sections of literature from various countries, really appreciate that. You really really have to go to Books are Magic in brooklyn btw, its great and the owner is a great writer too

Check out Troubled Sleep books in BK! It’s one of my favourite second hand shops and opened up this past August. They also sell vinyl records which is pretty cool. The area is gorgeous and great for wandering around/taking photos. ❤

Luv ur vids

Awesome, love this.

I just bought The Seven Moons of Mail Almeida this past weekend! Gotta finish Earthlings first then I’ll join you Jack (had to take a day off from reading Earthlings yesterday cause it’s just a lot to handle).

Probably missed you by days but not from New York but wandered into the bookshop with big red doors this last Friday (didn't catch the name but grabbed my attention). Would have loved to run into you there 🤯🤩

@@ivacacic6678 Woow thank you so much for taking interest in Sri Lankan literature 🌸📚 First of all Sri Lankan novels contain variety and authors are interesting in their own way of storytelling. Most of amazing classics novels (which I do recommend for you to start) of Sinhala language haven't translated in to English but some are available. So do search every kind of books and authors write in English and translated books of Sinhala. I cannot recommend you something because you should have the privilege to choose your read. Have a nice experience in Sri Lankan literature 🙏🏻🌸💛

would be interesting if jack did a video at the end of the year on how much money he has spent on books this year because it has to be a lot

YES FOR SEVEN MOONS OF MAALI ALMEIDA! I just know you're going to love it.

jack listening to the 1975 is something i never knew i needed, tho not surprised @ all
