"I'll Get Around to It" Tag | I'll stop procrastinating tomorrow!

[@BeyondBooks-wt5il]

Great video, Ted! I love your little inserts - so much fun!

[@TedReadInstead]

Thanks so much for tagging me, Reney. I had a lot of fun! :)

[@Mysterious-Galaxies]

Thanks for tagging me, Ted. I kept seeing “booktube tags” appearing all over the place, but had no idea what it meant. I like the concept. I’ll give it a shot and give you a shoutout for kickstarting it. Let’s take a look at my shelves and see what books I’ve been neglecting! - Todd

[@TedReadInstead]

Hope you'll give it a shot! :) For some reason, I can't get KZbin to notify me when I get tagged. Glad it worked for you!

[@shaunholt]

Thanks for tagging! This is definitely a video I can do!

[@TedReadInstead]

Thanks, Shaun! I shall look forward to it!

[@Adventures_in_Literature]

Some great picks Ted. I loved The Godfather and Jurassic Park.

[@TedReadInstead]

Thanks for commenting, Brian! I feel like reading The Godfather may get me aspects not found in the movies.

[@shaunholt]

My first video on booktube was reviewing The Godfather. Jurassic Park is one of my favorite books as well.

[@Adventures_in_Literature]

@@shaunholt will have to check it out then, thanks!

[@SeaninsShelf]

I actually tagged you when I did this one! haha Sometimes even though I put peoples @'s in them it doesn't notify them for some reason. I am hoping to start Malice by the end of this month but I'm not confident I'll get to it by then. 🤞As you said there just isn't enough time in the day for all we want to read!

[@TedReadInstead]

Haha! Yeah, hard to remember who tags me in what. I need to have a separate notebook! We need to get some people to do a group read of Malice. Maybe start in December. I'm just not sure how to reach people. KZbin used to have a messaging system.

[@SeaninsShelf]

@TedReadInstead Yeah that'd be a fun idea. You could always make a discord server and invite people to join there where you could announce the read-along

[@TedReadInstead]

@@SeaninsShelf Oh, that might be a good idea! :)

[@Chance.Dillon]

Ted!!!! Thanks for tagging me-I’m also terrible at playing Tag 😂😂😂 in regards to “getting around to” tags are one of those things I definitely need to. At some point, I shall. Either way-I’m grateful you brought me up at all!

[@TedReadInstead]

Hey! If it got you to come visit me in my neck of the woods it was well worth it! I appreciate the comment, bud!

[@apoetreadstowrite]

I need to read more Steinbeck also, I love what I have read, so need to keep going. He is a marvel. I have done my own quirky take on this tag, but thanks for thinking of me. And thanks for another fun video.

[@TedReadInstead]

Thanks, Phillip! Growing up in California, Steinbeck was something of a local literary hero. :) Visiting Cannery Row is quite special.

[@apoetreadstowrite]

@@TedReadInstead: Oh, I might start there - thanks.

[@shaunholt]

Of Mice and Men was one of the first books I read besides Clive Cussler, the other book being The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck. I recall liking Of Mice and Men a lot, but DNF'd Grapes of Wrath after like four pages when I tried reading it a year or so ago. Full of purple prose, useless description. I think of the first two chapters, I would've kept only one sentence. Cut the rest as unnecessary. So quit Grapes as overrated, wordy garbage. 🙃 Around eight years ago my dad and I drove through Salinas and Monterey Bay, and stopped at the Steinbeck house and museum and walked I guess Cannery Row. Still, I liked Of Mice and Men and it helped get me into reading and writing.

[@TedReadInstead]

@@shaunholt Yes, I felt the same with Grapes of Wrath. I really tried but just couldn't get into it. LOL!

[@apoetreadstowrite]

@@shaunholt: Thanks for this heads-up, much appreciated, I'm sure this is great advice - thank you.

[@BryanM.R.-prionic1]

I'm fine with you saying "hankering" after a mere seven years in Texas if you're fine with me declaring myself "dead chuffed" despite never having spent even a minute in England. Hey, if I stick to my native dialect, I'll have to start talking about how "this toad strangler (sudden downpour) 'll be good fer the 'maters." 😉 The Godfather is okay, but it's one of those cases where I actually prefer the movie. Jurassic Park is a lot of fun and quite different from the movie, but a personal sticking point for me is some of the "science" that Crichton got factually incorrect (not just a matter of speculation about future possibilities). I try not to be that guy, but some of the material happened to touch on areas where I'm pretty knowledgeable, so it grated a bit. 😊 Enjoyed your answers. Have a good one!

[@TedReadInstead]

Oh, I completely understand. I think authors have a responsibility to get as accurate as possible, knowing that some of their readers may be more knowledgable than they are! ;)

[@ToriTalks2]

Love how cozy your background is! I'm also seeing some favorites on your shelves :D I really want to read The Count of Monte Cristo someday, but I haven't quite gotten the right time for it yet.

[@TedReadInstead]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment, Tori. It's appreciated! :)

[@kevintowle9665]

Ted: love those signs! Also, i enjoy your humor you use in your videos. Oh, and your answers on the tag were pretty good too. Have a great week!

[@TedReadInstead]

Thank you, Kevin! :) I hope you'll consider doing one if/when you have time. :)

[@book-ramble]

Hello, Chief! I too would like an LED sign, but 'Book-Rambling About Books And Talking Waffle, and Rambling Around Various Places With A Camcorder' seems a tad too long. Lol. Purple is a good light to have.... . 'The Godfather' is a brutal book - especially how it portrays Hollywood! Thanks!

[@TedReadInstead]

Haha! Well, you can always just get a sign "Book Ramble". :). Thanks for always commenting on my videos!
