Thanks for watching, Reggie!

[@michaelk.vaughan8617]

I’ve done that re-record thing many, many times. You had an interesting February!

[@BookBlather]

I could have SWORN I hit the record button 😜

[@lesliepowell-mccarty7067]

Aww! Olive is extra precious today. 🤗 I bought We a couple of weeks ago. I'm a little intimidated by it. 😟🐶

[@BookBlather]

Heheh… too many treats, I guess 😜. Looking forward to seeing what you think of We. I hope you have an easier time with it than I did!

[@angelwalker979]

WE was a strange book. I read it a couple years ago, always wanted to re re read it bc I feel like I missed a whole lot of something the first go round! 🤔😂 Exhalation sounds good, I love short stories. Hi Olive!😘💕

[@BookBlather]

Same here… I feel like I need to reread it. Probably not anytime soon, though 😜

[@angelwalker979]

@@BookBlather LOL Right!? Same!

Thanks for watching!

[@mildrumpus]

I’ve been wanting to read “We” for a while now. Need to get on that… 😎📚👍

[@BookBlather]

Good luck… you may need it 😜

A re-record. Twice as many treats for Olive! Congratulations on making it through WE. I know lots of people find it a difficult read.

[@BookBlather]

You’re not kidding! I think that why she was going nuts… sugar rush! 😜

[@RaynorReadsStuff]

I really want to read We so found your take on it really interesting. You had a good month 😊. Great video. Morning Olive 🐶

[@BookBlather]

Thanks Debs. I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts if you get to it!

[@krisreviews]

So many good books! The Doors of Edan sounds pretty good! If I found that bargain book hunting I might pick it up 🤗

[@BookBlather]

Sorry, just seeing this now. I forget... have your read his Children of Time? If not, I'd start with that one!

[@krisreviews]

@@BookBlather I have not 🤗

[@BookBlather]

@@krisreviews You should try it!

[@BryanM.R.-wt9eb]

Sounds like a great reading month! I've been meaning to read Chiang's stuff ever since I saw "Arrival," but it keeps getting pushed to the back burner. Sounds like these stories deal with the kind of stuff that can keep me up at night. Well, at least when I'm not already awake because the dog's carrying on about a deer in the yard or a raccoon in the orchard. 🐕

[@BookBlather]

The story of a dog owner's life 😜

[@snowysnowyriver]

Dave: You want a snack? Olive: Silly question!

[@BookBlather]

Right? It’s like asking, “You wanna hear a secret?” 😂

[@BookishChas]

Awesome video! Doors of Eden sounds like it might be a good place for me to start with Tchaikovsky. I’ve been curious about Ted Chiang ever since I recently watched Arrival.

[@BookBlather]

Yeah, I need to pick up Chiang’s other collection.

Nice review.

Thanks Todd! Hope you’re having a good reading month!

[@novelideea]

Ted Chiang is unparalleled in thought experiment Sci-Fi Short story telling! Love both his collections. I DNFd "We". toooooo much for me... 🐶

[@BookBlather]

Me too, but I finished it anyway 😜. I’m definitely going to pick up Chiang’s other book

[@novelideea]

@@BookBlather i think you’re gonna love Chiang’s “Stories” collection!♥️

[@Cobaltdragon]

Cute video as always. So sweet how Olive just sits and stares at you 💕 Who is the cutie walking in the background?

[@BookBlather]

That’s her sister, Riley! She has no patience for our nonsense. I made her join us on camera once when we did a Dog Tag, and she couldn’t wait to get out of there 😜

[@Cobaltdragon]

@@BookBlather LOL too cute. Makes Olive sitting so well even more amazing because she had to hear Riley in the background 🤣🤣🤣. Like my Tiki, girl loves the camera.

[@JohnSeney]

🐕 Hey they don't seem to have "The Death of Grass" at the one million-book Brooklyn Central Library, I am pursuing other means of finding it but where did you find your copy?! They do have Chiang's "Exhalation" and I have reserved that 👍

[@BookBlather]

I just got it on Amazon. Mine is one of those print-on-demand versions (tried to hunt down an old copy, but they were too expensive). Did you check if they have “No Blade of Grass”? That’s the U.S. version, so I suspect that’s what US libraries would have.

[@JohnSeney]

Ahh a different title I will check that thanks 👍

[@JohnSeney]

They have it and I just put a hold on it thanks pal! 👍🐕

[@BookBlather]

@@JohnSeney Awesome!

[@wordfullyyours]

Now I feel better about the videos I thoght I made but forgot to hit record 😅

[@BookBlather]

Ha! Happens to the best of us, I guess! 😂

[@AaronReadABook]

I think Exhalation is my favourite ever short story collection. He still has a full time job so it always takes so long for him to release a new book. I did not enjoy We when I read it, my thoughts were similar to yours, I love the books it influenced though.

[@BookBlather]

We was tough to get through, right? I really wanted to like it more. I didn't realize writing was a side hustle for Chiang. Have you read his other collection?

[@AaronReadABook]

@@BookBlather Yes it is also brilliant, but Exhalation I slightly preferred, it might be because I read it first though.

[@susanburgess820]

Guys did you see the movie we based on the book? Very disturbing, franz kaufka- ish❤

[@BookBlather]

Hi Susan, was just thinking about you! No, I haven't seen that yet. I saw the trailer and definitely want to see it, but I couldn't figure out where to watch it! Where did you watch it?
