I love that you throw in personal information, like your earlier comments on how coffee affects you, how you suffer from anxiety, and now, Metamucil. It makes the channel much more than just another book talk. I read very few books you do (never read King, don't like horror, etc.) but I love watching your videos. Book enthusiasm!

My anti TBR solution I use. Go to library, search the bottom two rows, pull a book depending on the thickness you want, read said book. Hit or miss on enjoying the book but I’ve read some good ones.

Your life is a big inspiration to me, tucked away in a house surrounded by books and interests, raising kids but finding time to enjoy life and culture. Impressive

The Florida School for Boys AKA Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys was a reform school in northern Florida back in the day. There is a newer book based on this school as well, The Reformatory by Tananarive Due. There are also documentaries about the horrific things that went on there. I highly recommend a deep dive.

Alright, you've convinced me to dabble a bit with the King. Just picked up a used copy of 11/22/63... We'll see how this goes. I'm not much for fat books, so this'll take me a while to get thru. Might not happen until 2025. My favorite book of 2024 was East of Eden, so despite my aversion to the length I still appreciate long stories.

11/22/63 might be my favorite Stephen King book and I think it’s not a typical horror novel. I’d call it a time travel/historical fiction with a bit of horror. King took a lot of time writing this book and it shows. Anyway, it’s worth a try!
@octoberfog3 күн бұрын
@phyllisd3705 thanks for the comment, that's helpful to know. I don't believe I've ever read a proper horror book, so perhaps 11/22/63 is an easy way to dip my toe in the genre.

On your recommendation I read 11/26/63 a while ago - and I AGREE wholeheartedly. This book blew me away. I even had my not often reading husband read it and he loved it as well. Great recommendation!

Yes, I felt the same about Nickel Boys -- I kept reading back pages to see if I had been confused the entire book. Never saw that coming. 🤷🏻♀️

I read The Nickel Boys during the Pandemic. I just sat in the dark and fought through an array of emotions, tears, etc after finishing. A tough but incredible read. The Underground Railroad, also top tier. He won a Pulitzer for each book. Looking forward to TNB movie. TUR is a mini series on Prime Video.

Oh, and I meant to mention TBRs. I love the idea of them and used to make some attempt, but now I just see what I'm in the mood for. I'm on LibraryThing, and many people there do extensively detailed TBRs at the beginning of the year, and that amazes me. But hey, I say as long as people read, I don't care what their plan is.

Really like your channel. Can you maybe do a video recommendating other channels that you like (you mentioned TikTok and such) You give me motivation to read. Really!!!! Thanks 👍

11/22/63 is an absolute masterpiece! I’m watching the show right now. I’m not too happy with where they take the show but if I detach it from the book it’s a fairly solid watch.

The word is Toque, not hat! It's a toque. it's a spacific type of hat if the Americans are confused. Let them. Even in this climate, if they want to move here like all of them say they wanna do, they need to know the right word. ...im joke kinda that video was fun. I can't wait to pick up some of ur recs. ❤👍
