Pat, congratulations on your first year anniversary! How exciting for you, but even more so for us! You have been an inspiration to me for the past 11 months that I’ve subscribed to, and faithfully watched, your content! I always look forward to your welcoming personality and in-depth book reviews. It’s because of your channel that I’ve expanded my reading to include genres outside of my comfort zone. As a woman in my 60s it’s been a joy to discover content creators of all ages, but especially many, (thanks to your recommendations), that I can relate to. Thank you! I appreciate you, and I’m glad that you’re here❤Peace

Happy anniversary, Pat! You’ve brought so much to the community with your passion, creativity, and genuine connection. I’m so glad I found your channel. Trolls are the worst. I’m sorry you had to experience that. People can be so cruel, and the anonymity of hiding behind a computer screen has made things worse, as there’s less chance of facing the consequences of their actions. I truly enjoy seeing you be your authentic self. It’s refreshing to witness someone so real and unapologetically themselves. So please continue to not let the trolls bring you down!

Congratulations Pat 🥳 You do an amazing job here on booktube. I appreciate all the work you put into producing your informed, enthusiastic, and entertaining videos. Thank you for all the books and poetry you have introduced me to. I am currently halfway through Les Miserables and loving it. My kind friends now take shopping lists with them when holidaying in the USA and return with poetry books for me that you have recommended and I haven't been able to get here in the UK. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to MJ for helping you through the negative side of the Internet. It is so sad. You are a beautiful and humble human being with a positive contribution to make. Here's to your next year on booktube 🥂 I'd love to see some videos on the authors behind the books. A video on the life of your favourite author would be good if you had the time 😂🤣😂 God bless you ❤

I don't think people realize it. I'm not complaining because I love doing it, but it's just a fact! There is NO WAY I could have done this while working full time. I loved the Poetry Shorts as you know. I miss them! But I understand why you stopped doing them. Peace of mind is important! Anyway - congrats!

Dear Pat, I had wondered where those wonderful poetry shorts went. I was planning to make myself a playlist with all of them for a soothing mental health tool, but if they were a threat to your own, you definitely did the right thing. I, like you, am continually shocked and a bit unmoored by the cruelty people are capable of. With every sting, I say I will not be surprised again. But I am. I don’t think it will change for me, either. But, most importantly, I am so grateful for you and your channel. It is a place of beauty. You are so loved. 🤗💕🥳

Oh my goodness, Constance. Thank you for this beautiful message. You are such a treasure. I am so grateful for your presence on this channel and in my life. I'm sorry about the discontinuation of the poetry shorts. Maybe I'll eventually find another way. I did just put all of my Poetry Thursdays in a playlist, but it's not the same as the shorts. I think you and I are cut from the same cloth. I can't believe that the ugliness and meanness still has such a devastating effect on me, but I think that at this point in my life, my reactions are probably not going to change much. I just try not to totally disintegrate when it happens. Thank you again for your presence on BookTube, on my channel, and in my life. You are a true gift.
