Very happy to have found a new Book Tuber to follow. I love that you interview and bring attention to other Book Tubers.

[@HannahsBooks]

Wonderful conversation!

I too at one time didn't take a certain person seriously. Wow, did I get a wake up call on the stupidity of many of my countrymen

[@readwritecollage]

Lovely! Gonna go subscribe now.

Congrats to Joe for the success, - well deserved! Nice conversation. And as a side-effect, I picked up a good idea how to get the attention of the algorithm 🙂

[@saintdonoghue]

Oh, it's the easiest thing in the world to get the attention of the algorithm! Step 1: have a subscriber count in the triple digits, Step 2: put a number in the title, Step 3: make it a list of some kind, Step 4: keep the video under 15 minutes. The real question is: do you WANT the attention of the algorithm?

[@polyglotreading]

@@saintdonoghue 🙂 No, as I'm not interested in personal fame nor in a commercial channel, I don't want the attention of the algorithm but of actual readers with with a similar reading taste and interest in foreign languages, to have good discussions. With a subscriber count in the single digit range, this is rather limited :-) It seems I'm currently failing at steps 1 and 4 🙂

@@polyglotreadingBonjour, guten tag, ciao, ave: I just checked out your channel, saw you did a video on Pierre Loti (!), and subscribed. I just hope your channel is less addictive than Steve Donoghue's.

[@polyglotreading]

@@dorothysatterfield3699 Thank you so much, this supportive feedback means a lot to me! I'm glad there are others out there who like Pierre Loti, - I hope you enjoyed the video, and my personal thoughts about it make some sense to you. There's no risk of my tiny channel becoming as addictive as St. Steves 🙂 I won't be able to keep up with his breathtaking pace in reading and posting 🙂 Are you also multilingual? Best, - David

I wanted to title the event "Holmes for the Holidays" in November or December, but I was outvoted.

Rishi Sunak is the best Prime Minister we had last year.

[@BookTimewithElvis]

Not guilty for the title either. Though I do find a cheesy title fun. Remembering fondly the erstwhile Dick10mber for which I was guilty.
