Nice! Bleach is really good I love it lol ❤

Sorry to hear about mo… all prayers goes out…. Btw Bleach it’s the best

So sorry to hear about your mom! I'm glad she's doing better, James.

I missed the longlist announcement, but I saw the shortlist today. Except for two books that go back a few centuries, all the finalists are 20th century history. If it’s not your wheelhouse, it’s not a good shortlist for you. For my part, I quite like it. I like recent history. My main beef with the choices is that most of them are giant bricks of 800 pages. Even if I just wanted to read the three finalists, there is no guarantee I would have time to read them before the winner is announced…

Both of those sound great. I hope to hear about them. 😉 Glad your mom’s doing well - but sorry to hear that conditions precipitated the necessity for a recovery or recuperation.

Hi dear I've been following your RUclips channel for some time now, and Your Content Ideas are very good. But. The problems that the videos have 1. Video title, description, thumbnail SEO is not done 2. No use of relevant tags, search ranking keywords 3. Endscreen and card not added 4. No sharing on various social media 5. No SEO score 90+ Your video doesn't have a perfect tag setup and your Titles are not Complete SEO. The main reason the video goes viral is Video SEO. I can give you FREE TIPS ideas to solve the problems. Although not the end of our chat, let me know how I can discuss this with you easily. I'm waiting for your response.

I really love Raymond Carver but he has a certain style that doesn't work for everyone. Telephone has 3 different versions and endings. The direction of the top compass and the dedication reveal which one you got. It's a sad novel.

Good luck!

Love that you include the cook books in the video! Happy September reading!

Thanks for tackling the D Tag again. Fascinating answers. Poor Poirot can't go on holiday without a murder happening. Bailing on books is perfectly fine. I have Murder on the Orient Express on my August TBR but don't think I'll have time to read it this month. That is quite a selection of visual artists.

If you're not interested in very many of these books, don't force yourself to read them. They're going on various lists of mine for future reference, but I probably won't get to them either, at least in the near future.

Looks great, James!

I'm glad the library seems to have settled in now, James. I always feel more at home in a new place once all of the shelves have been put in order.

Looks yummy. Cooking is great fun.

Good luck following the recipes, if you do.

Thanks for tackling another of the alphabet tags, again. Cinnamon looks cute. Interesting take on comic books. Hope you will find the time and occasion to reignite your art work.

This sounds like a very interesting tag. But it also seems like it would be Time consuming? Thanks for sharing -James

I think when you're not sure what you want, just flipping around in an anthology can be fun. I gave all of my Alice Munro books the boot. I've also gone way over the top. I have the 30 stories, some story collections and some short novels. Death by shorties?!

Oof. Kairos is my next read.

I've heard such mixed reviews of Kairos...nothing that makes me want to run out and buy it. Your reading plan is so varied!

thank you so much for turning me onto these two beautiful poems that I didn’t know! xoxo from italy 💌

I have this same issue with Moby Dick. I can't count the number of times I've tried to read it but it's never an enjoyable time.

Just finished Alexender at the End of the World. Definitely quite pro-Alexander but not the worst ive read in that regard haha. Cool 2 picks!

Thanks for tackling the tag, again. With these tags you are welcome to leave out prompts, which are tricky or add additional prompts related to the letter. Great answers. I should look into Naruto, I have just put out a video about manga. Naruto was the first manga available in the bookshops here in Tbilisi, Georgia. I have heard you talk about Dandadan by Yukinobu Tatsu before, it sounds intriguing. You have a lot more manga than me.

I finished volume 1 of Bleach.

Honestly I think you have done enough with Faulkner. You’ve given him more than a fair shot. He just doesn’t seem to be an author whose work appeals to you. I have the same issue with Thomas Hardy.

Love this! Keep on doing what you love!!

Yay for book binges! Enjoy the poetry.

Reading ‘as I lay dying’ as well. Hope the chaos settles down soon

Informative, thanks James. Me personally, I'm trying to move away from physical books as I want to minimize. When I do buy (physical or digital) books, I always wait for deep discounts as I've got a lot of unread books to read anyway. The Read What you Own challenge has helped with this. Lol, of course I recently picked up (for free!) the four volume set of _The Encyclopedia set of Philosophy_ , and the full set of _The Story of Civilization_ (Durant). I say I want to minimize, but I also dream of a Victorian library and when I see beautiful bound books (omg - for free!) that suit my reading style I cannot say no :)

Fascinating video, I don't buy physical books online, I do buy quite a few ebooks, where shipping and handling is not an issue.

Hey, great non fiction recommendations. Subscribed.

Thrift stores and yard sales can be a good source for sturdy, wooden bookcases. Also Facebook marketplace. The light and the red curtain look good.

Glad you are chipping away at your new library. Hopefully you can find some sturdy shelves. I ended up making mine myself as I couldn't find anything that I liked and worked for my needs. Good luck

I've been interested in Not a River for awhile - hope its a good one!

The best thing about finishing a move like this is that there's time now. Time enough at last.

Moving boxes full of books are never fun. Hope things get better for you James. I am looking forward to seeing the new set up once it’s put back together.

Cool tour, James. Really nice collection.

Great haul! Just subbed!

Good luck with the move.

Lol tag necromancy. You're right I haven't seen this one in forever. Good answers

Good to see the A tag coming back.

Thanks for tackling the A Tag once again, I think I should take a look at Sarah Holland-Batt's poetry. If you didn't like Pride and Prejudice, you probably wouldn't like the rest of Jane Austen's oeuvre. I've only read 7 books that appeared on the New York Times top 100 books of the 21st century. Good luck with your move.

Thank you so much for doing the tag! Cheers, James!

Your answer were really interesting. I've heard a lot of good things about Manga, but I haven't gotten around to reading yet. However, I think I start looking into it after the way you've spoken about some of them in this video. Good luck with the move and dealing with your internet provider. Moving is always a pain and I've recently changed internet provider, lucky not whilst having to move this time, and it took over nearly two months to get things sort out.

I've been double tagged on this one so I really need to do it! I enjoyed your answers - I am not very knowledgeable about manga so that's interesting to hear about. I did read all of those Martin books and I also skimmed past some boring parts. Thanks for tagging me!

I've never heard of _any_ of the books you've mentioned (save the Tolkien) 😮 Pat tagged me, too. I'll get to it someday ...

love the way you talk about books, best wishes man!

Loved this video! your reviews are very welcomed and appreciated!

Great haul, thanks for sharing!
