Swapping siblings with my book

[@Fernsandfiction_7888]

I wish

[@MilasBooked]

Underrated comment 😂

[@FerSanchezArt]

I love this kind of videos because we're not bombarded with the newest releases, instead we get to learn about great old authors, amazing prose that's waiting for us to be discovered and incredible stories. Thanks Ian and siblings for this video concept

[@kjms5197]

So nice to have family you can swap and discuss books with. None of my siblings are readers. Nice video!

[@kidcurry7138]

we're going to need more spencer on this channel. He is so insightful.

[@AmandasBooktopia]

I love when you do book swaps. They’re so fun! Seeing Chelsea’s reaction to The Lovely War made me want to read it and I know Ashlynn loves it so I may have to get it soon.

[@bethany_shell]

30:10 you know it’s an Ian Gubeli video when this song plays ✨ such a vibe

[@MalekBouida]

i love it

[@castrot2701]

Louis l’amour is pure nostalgia for me , pops had tons of them! All of them are so easy to consume and get sucked into! If I could recommend one by Louis it would be Haunted Mesa , it’s really unlike anything else he’s ever written but still stands tall in my eyes

[@MichelleP-t7o]

I read wonder almost right after it came out. I cried. I have family members that are mentally challenged so I read this with them in mind

[@tc8404]

I wouldn’t read because of that reason, I knew I’d be a blubbering idiot 😭

[@Kim_Miller]

Wonder was a fantastic read for me abut ten years ago. I still remember the part where the Dad is asking August to stop wearing the astronaut helmet, "I miss seeing your beautiful face". I once worked as a chaplain in one of Australia's largest children's hospitals. One patient was a teenage girl with a similar condition as August. She was there for the surgeons to build up bone structure and give her a new face. The surgery was amazing, but they then had to coach her through adapting to being a 'normal' and attractive teenager. Reading Wonder took me back into that time of my life. Similarly, when my son was a kid he would gravitate towards the new kids in school or those on the outer edges like August. He was good at befriending others. When he was twelve a teacher criticized this behaviour to my wife and me. We asked what she saw as a problem with somebody who was good at including others. She said, 'Well, it's not the way to get ahead in the world, is it?"

[@elisabethprice4697]

This is so fun I love seeing all your family!!!

[@Meggreads]

I have never clicked on a video so FAST! 😊 Love your channel

[@luanajasmin5125]

your family seems so kind and fun! Such a good video😊

[@jessicafaircloth-symens8622]

My dad passed away a year and a half ago, he loved Bernard Cornwell! Watching this has really made me want to read his books as a way to remember my dad. My dad loved the Sharp series(not sure of spelling) But I have always loved Arthurian stories, so I'm going to start with The Winter King. Thank you for your videos, they really inspire me to read things that I would normally never pick up. I also added The Revenant to my TBR.

[@Evaslifexoxo]

Loved this video, it was awesome to have your friends and family on here and I enjoy hearing their perspective.

[@katieschmidt5195]

Love the Sacketts

[@George1789]

A cool way you could do this video too would be like a loop of reading. For example say in the beginning when you and Chelsea finished each others books, the highest rated of the two would be swapped with Spencer’s read of choice and so on. 📚

[@lesleyspear7933]

Love these book swaps and actually seeing someone reading in their vlogs. I loved The Revenant. An amazing book.

[@clarissaposirilova899]

You definitely got me hooked with most of your pics- Louis L'amour, winter king and iron king all sound incredible

[@CemetryGates89]

You always manage to make me add something to my TBR 😅 It's so frustrating because I'm making my way through The Realm of the Elderlings and loving it but also all too aware that these are long books and there's so many others i want to read 🙈

[@bethany_shell]

I was literally binging you and Ashlynn’s book swap videos today! I’m currently reading Duma Key per your recommendation and loving it!

[@elisabethprice4697]

I need to finish the Winter King and watching this has made me want to pick it back up! I got a bit sidetracked but I was loving it when I was reading it!

[@DaughterOfTheKingdom16]

7:26 I need to read this. i loved the film and the second film was also really good.

[@somewhatsorted]

Loved this video- very entertaining! It was really interesting hearing your family member's reading interests. I hope you'll do more of these! :)

[@brightwatcher3757]

Ohhhh The Winter King!!! A FANTASTIC recommendation. This is such a fun video idea!!

[@Talesinmaking]

I loved this video idea and I'm not a a huge history fiction fan I've not found my entry way yet. How I still loved and appreciated seeing how much these books brought you all joy and how invested you got in the books that were swapped so nice to see some unheard of books as well.

[@julieslifeandjoys1543]

Love this❤!!! Definately need do these more often with your family and wife. Christian, spencer and chelsea were great. You are too.

[@MilasBooked]

I remember reading wonder for school, it takes me back 😊 I loved that book.

[@janiethereader]

This was such a fun video! You really have a cool family 💛 Also - it's always so exciting to see you and Ashlynn getting sponsors!!

[@LibrariesandLattes]

Love this, and I loved that you filmed the discussion between you and your family members talking about the books after you both finished! Lovely War was a great choice, I loved that one ❤️ I saw Wonder the movie and it was so sad but sweet. Haven’t heard of the other books but they sound great!

[@Kcampbell845]

I love u and Ashlynn! Keep of the good work! Psalm 118:24!!

[@jodijurney8380]

I love this channel so much! I always get excited to see a new video pop up in my feed. I've been working on Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years Of Solitude. Have you read it? It's so beautifully written, I'm really enjoying it. If you haven't read it yet, you should!!! I think you'd also enjoy it.

[@injiqi4695]

I loveeeee how you read books that aren’t super hyped up on TikTok!!

[@atiny_em3ra1ddrag0n]

Lies of Locke Lamora is on my physical TBR! Hopefully I'll get to it this year. I borrowed it a couple years ago and I loved the writing style and setting. Looking forward to restarting it this year.

[@shannonpoole3866]

I have never clicked on a video so fast 😂 love you guys! ❤️

[@Zachtbarth]

This was a refreshing video, I love your relationship with your family!

[@Kittyzero13426]

Love a good swap book. Happy reading!!

[@tessib.1043]

My dad is a huge Louis L’Amour fan. I definitely will put it on must read list

[@jennyrbaker]

I'd love to see more book swap videos with your family. Bring all three of them back soon, please.

[@mistyrain04]

Love this! Everyone has such good recommendations! Wonder is so heartbreaking but good tbh.

[@oly_d9485]

This looks like such a good motivator to read more books. Sometimes I wish you'd be able to switch books with us as well haha As always, a great video!

[@valliyarnl]

Wonder is such a beautiful book! Very formative one for me 🥰

[@iangubeli]

Truly beautiful book!

[@kristyfolsom3218]

If you haven't read Flowers for Algernon, I highly recommend it!

[@knittenpurl4274]

Whenever I watch videos of people reading and they have headphones on, are they listening to music or the audiobook?

[@Rainydayscozyreads]

Book swap! Book swap! Book Swap! This video was great : ) Wonder is such a good book. I love stuff relating to king arthur .. I will have to check out the winter king.

[@agathacccc2710]

Yes Ian keep spreading the Iron King discourse 😤😤😤

[@Ariana.333]

I have The Revenant and hearing your thoughts on it makes me want to pick it up and read it. I've had it for about 8 years already and never actually read it 😅 thank you. 😊

[@Tantan10000]

( Reads title)..I love that. I was just thinking about how I haven't seen one in a long time . I love wonder the book ..

[@saassy88]

You inspired us to do a lot of reading together as a family. Our daughter had to read Fahrenheit 451 for school and most of the family read it…. We all discussed it and could all help with the project! What was Spencer’s other recommendation?! Still recommending As long as the lemon trees grow by Zoulfa Katouh. You will love it, historical fiction that addresses what your mind will do in efforts to save you.

[@carriehandy4247]

Great vid! I think I need to re-read Wonder.

[@kidcurry7138]

Wonder was a great movie as well. One of the best middle grade books ever is The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare. Its historical fiction. Also The Chronicles of Pyrdain by Lloyd Alexander.

[@eliseallee]

We just finished “The Bronze Bow” today as a family read aloud. Excellent. We love the Chronicles of Pyrdain as well! You may enjoy the Redwall series by Brian Jacques.

[@PageTurnersbooktube523]

my buddy has literally been raving about thee sacket series recently.

[@jackielowrey3032]

The side eye from your dog 👀😆

[@beardedjohnson5654]

Sorry the Vikings are out, Ian. The Bills will bring it all home! Also, considering you love historical fiction so much, you should probably check out Aztec by Gary Jennings.

[@iangubeli]

I’m happy the Bills have a shot! If I couldn’t be the Vikings, I’m glad it could be another team I root for!

[@beardedjohnson5654]

@ cheers man! My anxiety levels are HIGH! 😂😂

[@goregmvs8304]

I wish I had friends or even family who read. No one in my family (around my age 26) do not read. They make excuses like "I'm too busy for it." "I don't like reading." (even though they never tried) It sucks but oh well

[@DavesPlace99]

I've always wondered what Ian is listening to while he reads; music, a podcast, a variety of bird noises?

[@BryantMyerson]

What brand of desk is that in the background that has your iMac on it? I need one!

[@iangubeli]

We got it at Target🤔

[@BryantMyerson]

@ my wife said thank you and she loves your channel!

[@Pokucollector]

Wonder is a tremendous movie! I had no idea it was a book.

[@mikeprewittmovieandbookreviews]

I'm currently listening to The Revenant! I've always dug the movie, and the book is actually pretty fast-paced.

[@lydiam.1833]

I just read my first Lous Lamour called Last of the Breed. It was not a western.This book had me hooked from the beginning. Check it out!

[@esliet]

These books sound so good

[@openlybookish]

This is a great idea. Challenge is getting my siblings to partake.

[@mariannes7777]

How about a competition and book swap with a viewer over zoom. (I get the dilemma... and that you'd have to vet the viewer, which may not make this an ideal choice. Perhaps whittle it down to a few finalists and zoom with them, then put those that qualify in a drawing )

[@wannabebluestocking]

I love this idea!

[@ABookFiendNamedMel]

This was so much fun

[@RockyNotBalboa]

i remember when we watched the movie they made about wonder when i was in highschool felt bad for auggie

[@Shaegeeksout]

I mean this in the best way, but Spencer could totally be Gimli's cousin in LOTR! This swap was so fun!!

[@mackenzierowland8120]

Best books is Dan Brown books series is so good

[@valerieramirez6446]

Great video ❤

[@ciciosorio]

Ian!!!!! PLEASE read Outlander!!

[@GusTeasPlants]

WONDER is so beautiful is my favorite book I love it zzz I bought it in Spanish to read again with mom and we cried together while reading

[@Dinadoesyoga]

What fun! Great video.

[@danicacarrillo5361]

I recently found your channel, like literally today. And I already love the content❤ There's this one book that got me kick-started into my reading obsession. Its called Gone by Michael Grant and its my favorite book ever. You should totally check it out if you havent already.

[@Poncho2112]

Wow the beards are exceptional!

[@elizabethosborne3606]

Hoping more men in my country would be just like you guys, a lover book reading. ☺️

[@savedbygrace_98]

Great video!

[@Kim_Miller]

Bouncing out of Wonder again. Chase up The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog by Bruce Perry. Perry is a neuro-psychologist who specialises in kids with trauma. It's a book of short stories, case studies of kids he's worked with over many years. In one story he enlists the whole class of one boy, telling them that together they can make 'Peter's amazing brain' work properly by showing him love and acceptance.

[@CindyP21]

Ian! I’m having withdrawal! What’s next??

[@ZacV256]

If you enjoy books about trappers I’d suggest Into the Savage Country by Shannon Burke.

[@chelseagubeli3443]

So much fun to do this!!!!

[@PinkBeetle4648]

Great video 🙂

[@Brookiethewitchie]

Wonder for me reading from 5th grade to high school you get more feeling for this book I love wonder , I hate to see this happen in actual real life

[@quinniehalee]

we had a peer with the same generic condition as August and our 8th grade year we all read Wonder. I still think abt him when I see the book or movie.

[@quinniehalee]

i wish my siblings were readers. my grandma and I are the ones that share the hobby but we don’t read the same things BUTTTT always have a book shopping buddy!

[@openlybookish]

How about a parental book swap?

[@maryjomolineu3010]

I saw the movie wonder, but never read the book. I loved the movie and felt so bad for August. Kids are so cruel.

[@queenkim8631]

I watched the movie for Wonder earlier this month..what are the odds?! I gave the movie 4.5/5 I really enjoyed it !

[@mandeepsinghfilms]

you should do a video on tips to read faster

[@basedmase777]

Hey Ian, as a fellow Christian, I'd be really interested in you maybe doing a Christian fiction or non-fiction book video! Maybe read some of C.S Lewis's books like Mere Christianity or Screwtape Letters. Maybe even some Flannerry O'Connor!

[@tc8404]

Wooo Screwtapes, I have not finished yet but woooo man, def opening my eyes!

[@tc8404]

What is the best of the best of Lewis book you have read?

[@gabiiii88]

This is legendary 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

[@PageTurnersbooktube523]

just picked up 11/22/63 as a first dive into stephen king....other then not yet finishing the gunslinger

[@michaelbissonette746]

If your brother gave you two books he could have read both of yours.

[@rima97_]

Respectfully, Christian is handsome

[@starlasell5698]

❤📚📚❤️

[@AGULL]

Hi😂

[@williamburns3823]

Next watch Ian do a wife swap
