Jason (and Blue!) do the I’m So Annoyed Booktube Tag!

Hello Booktube! It took some arm-pulling and a big of wifely nagging, but Jason agreed to visit my channel to do the I'm So Annoyed Booktube Tag (and a furry friend stopped in as well). It's always great to have Jason ‪@OldBluesChapterandVerse‬ and Blue visit my channel.
Jason chose not to tag anyone, but if you haven't done this tag and you want to, please feel free OR tell us something in the Comments section that you've find annoying or something you're surprised to find others find annoying. As always, I love hearing from you in the Comments, but if you don't feel comfortable leaving a comment, you can leave an emoji or give this video a thumbs up. I appreciate it!

It’s so nice of Jason and Blue to make an appearance. I wonder if I can wrangle my boyfriend into doing the tag too! 😂

[@booksimnotreading]

Oh! That would be really fun! Glad you enjoyed seeing Jason and Blue. 💛

[@nathanfoung2347]

God's nightgown! That was fun. Great to see Jason and Blue. By the way, at least 95% of these annoyances can/is addressed by ebooks especially in regards to covers The number 1 thing that annoys or mystifies at the moment is shelves that display books reversed or pages out maybe they just really, really like deckled edges. Go well guys.

[@booksimnotreading]

Yes, we know e-books are the answer to everything! 😂 Be well, friend. 💛

[@charmainesaliba5546]

Hi Kelly! This was fun. It was interesting to hear Jason's answers. I can relate with Jason about spoilers. One day I was watching a tv show and it spoils Anna Karenina ending and even though I want to read it, knowing the ending is like robbing the experience. Blue is so cute 🥰. Happy reading 💛

[@booksimnotreading]

Yes, we are both very anti-spoilers. I feel pretty sure Anna Karenina was spoiled for me as well, but I went ahead and read it. Happy reading! 💛

[@AliceandtheGiantBookshelf]

Blue seemed to have a lot of opinions in this one (though I suspect some of them were about birds in the garden)! Great video, enjoyed hearing what bookish things are annoying to Jason. Always love to see Blue 🐈 - he seemed very happy with being allowed on the table! 😊

[@booksimnotreading]

Yes, he was very naughty on Sunday and got on the table again! 😻I knew Jason had strong opinions about some of the questions so, after much persistence, I got him to agree. It was fun and unexpected to have a video with all three of us! So glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for watching. 💛

[@janepetrie1654]

Lovely seeing Jason and Blue and I agree re stickers on front covers of books.

[@booksimnotreading]

Thanks Jane! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 💛

[@RyanReadsGreek]

Good advice, I need to be more careful about the casual "there's a twist in the story." Great video, the look you gave your husband when he dropped the "H word" 😂I'm team gilded-edges, but deckled-edges are nice too!

[@booksimnotreading]

Hi Ryan! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I'm glad to know you like deckled edges!

[@gorvo31]

Hey Kelly, Jason, Blue, and not even H.E. double hockey stix! 😊 Wow, Orion pictures, that takes me back! I'm also with you both on team deckled edges, (great phrase, by the way) though I'm generally fine with notes and underlining in books, not highlighting so much. It's funny when something is written that seems to have nothing to do with the text...like a shopping list, ha. Curious to look into Dark Eden now. Wow, Blue is quite the yoweler! So delightful and cozy seeing you all together. Nice cozy way to wrap up the weekend. 😺-Carm & Rocky who watched with great interest

[@booksimnotreading]

I know, I know! I'm an old Victorian prude. People don't understand that growing up - and I am NOT making this up - I got in trouble for saying "horse puckey," "crud bud," and "whores." So I just try to avoid any profanity on my channel because people do watch with children and grandchildren and it just isn't a value of my channel. People really do write random things in books, don't they? I'm glad you enjoyed seeing all three of us! Our best to you and Rocky! 💛😻

[@gorvo31]

@@booksimnotreading That is funny. I do understand though...I don't really curse in 'regular' life, and people have told me they watch my own videos with the kids too, so it's more incentive (again, not that it's needed) to "keep it clean" on the channel. 🙂

[@awebofstories]

This was so much fun to watch! And I'm glad that my cat is not the only one who makes her presence known during filming!

[@booksimnotreading]

Blue hardly will ever be filmed! That's the only reason I let him get on the table. Now, of course, he thinks it OK for him to be on the table. We had a good time making this video, and thank you for watching and commenting!

[@gammaanteria]

It was nice to see your husband Jason and to hear his responses to the "annoyed tag" questions! You are a charming couple! That is funny about the observation about novellas put in the middle of a story collection. I am about halfway through reading such a collection by Ivan Bunin, and whereas almost all the stories in it are brief (10-20 pages long), there are two that are 100+ and 200+ pages thrown in there and neither at the end! But I almost don't mind it, I think if they were both placed at the end, I'd just feel daunted and a sense of oppression building as I read through the book, whereas if they are placed in the middle of the book, I just have to keep forging ahead, and take a deep breath and 'dive in' when I get to them...and I know I will get a feeling of accomplishment once I've read them and a morale boost to finish the entire collection. Re: used books with the pre-existing annotations/notes of others, I find these mildly annoying (and rarely do they point out something interesting or fresh to me), but I can usually put up with them and it's not a deal-breaker. I do find it makes me less likely to want to hold onto the book after I'm done reading it, though. Finally, I like deckled edges too! Before discovering your KZbin channel, I didn't know what that was called... :D

[@booksimnotreading]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I really loved your point about having novellas at the end of a collection - I think I might feel the same way! Better to have them at the beginning. 💛

[@john_gargo]

This was great! Jason, if you see this, I’d love for you to continue your film series! Or even just rambles where you discuss films you watched that week. Just an idea! 🙂

[@booksimnotreading]

I’ll tell him. 💛

[@wordswordseverywhere9113]

My top annoyance right now is when you order a used book that is supposed to be ‘like new’ but arrives looking like someone put it through a shredder and dropped it in a muddy puddle. Love it when you guys do videos together :)

[@booksimnotreading]

That sucks Mark! Can you return it? Sorry to hear that. Yes, people love watching Jason and I talk/argue/banter. It is very hard to pull his arm enough to do it though. The cat was a complete surprise and now he thinks he can get on the table whenever. 💛

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Blueeee!!!💗💗💗 (and you too Jason 😅😅) loved the answers!

[@booksimnotreading]

Isn’t Blue such a sweet baby? He never will be in my videos, which is the only reason I let him on the kitchen table - normally that is forbidden, but I caved. Thanks for watching! 💛

[@michellesreadingshelf]

🐈‍⬛🐈 always interesting. Yes to consistent book covers please!

[@booksimnotreading]

Thanks Michelle! 😻💛

[@MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm]

I always read any introductions or forewords after the novel now for this exact reason. I don’t remember which book did it, but I’ve been wary ever since. 😅

[@booksimnotreading]

Seems like most people are now wary since something was spoiled for them. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 💛

[@stuartgriffin1001]

Very interesting video. I love seeing Jason and Blue for the first time

[@booksimnotreading]

Yes, they are not normally around when I am filming. I try to capture Blue on camera every chance I get, but he has a 6th sense about these things. Jason, on the other hand, is usually on my channel because people love to see us disagree, but this one was a bit different. Our best arguing videos usually come from a Booktube event like Jane Austen July. Thanks so much for watching, Stuart. 💛

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Great to see you two! We recently watched a tv show, and about halfway in I accidentally saw a “watch for the twist” article. Once I knew there was a twist I almost immediately figured out what it was. It would have been more fun not to know. 😻

[@booksimnotreading]

So true, Gina! 💛

Y’all are adorable! 😺

Guest stars!

[@booksimnotreading]

I know! And I live with them!

[@aaronfacer]

Lovely to see you, Jason (and you too, Blue!) Although I don't mind a spoiler in an older classic, it seems so unnecessary of Bloom to do what he did with his introduction to Blood Meridian. If you're going to spoil a book like that, it should really be the afterword, right?!

[@booksimnotreading]

That’s what we think! Jason and Blue say hello! 💛😻

[@MyCozyLittleLibrary]

This was sweet! I cannot for the life of me, understand why anyone would sit down and write an introduction that contains spoilers. Just awful!

[@booksimnotreading]

Glad you enjoyed this! I wish I had made a playlist of videos that I've made with Jason. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@angieandthegreatworld]

My sister had a bad habit of always leaving her used bandaids in the shower, and it angered me to no end. 😠 Share that with Jason, if you’d like. 😂

[@booksimnotreading]

Jason had some colorful language off-camera about used band-aids. He feels your pain. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@marciajohansson769]

One of the online booksellers I was buying many books from started sending out books that in my estimation should have been thrown out and not sold and on top of it they were not interested at all into seeing how bad they were. I think it should be clearly marked if the s have been annotated in any form. I'm with many that don't like the advertisement of the example shown of like a Netflix unremovable sticker which is more of an advertisement than bringing anything to the book. I also find some of the explanations about the book overly spoilery and they should just keep it brief. Sorry about the ranty rant! I'm so easily annoyed when it comes to books LOL. One of the reasons I don't like to go to the library is when I find books that have food stains or crumbs in the book. ARGH. Ranting aside, it was fun to watch this video of you and your husband. And of course your pet stopping in for a visit

[@booksimnotreading]

Marcia, you echo the thoughts of many others! I didn’t mean for the tag to be a rant, but that’s what it tends to draw out in people. Glad you enjoyed seeing my household. Thanks so much for sharing what annoys you with me! 💛

[@Lake-Reads]

Jason got me interested in Dark Eden for sure. My biggest gripe is price tags, it is so tedious to remove , and if they're too old, forget about it.

[@booksimnotreading]

Price tags are such a pain. For awhile, Barnes and Noble had really good stickers for bargain books - they would peel right off - but later they made it more difficult. Maybe eBay sales had something to do with it. Who knows? Thanks for watching and commenting! 💛

[@Lake-Reads]

@@booksimnotreading Oh yeah certain ones from certain bookstore chains remove so much easier! (for me it is the Borders prices tags that peel off so satisfyingly) it must be the adhesive quality or something. Nowadays as soon as I get a new book, I prioritize on getting the stickers off before they age. Just looked through my shelves and apparently I have a copy of Dark Eden unread for years! it has the boring white cover though.

[@booksimnotreading]

@@Lake-Reads The ones at Barnes and Noble peeled off so easily as well for a time and then they must have changed the adhesive because it was a battle to remove them. So funny you own Dark Eden! Thanks again for sharing with me.

[@kathleenkemp1030]

😃Good job!

[@booksimnotreading]

Glad you enjoyed it! 💛

[@Montie-Adkins]

Jason is an intelligent fellow, and I just subscribed to his channel.

[@Montie-Adkins]

We also see Kelly is a curse word tyrant and smacked her husband twice.

[@booksimnotreading]

@@Montie-Adkins Just once, I’m sure! I have gray hair and when I recently spent time with my family, they are STILL upset if I swear! How old do I have to be to use mild profanity in front of my parents? Anyway, I recognize when people are watching Booktube, their children or grandchildren may suddenly appear. Everyone has different boundaries when it comes to swearing, so I just try to leave it out. I’ll be sure to tell Jason your comment. 💛

[@elizabethaliteraryprincess]

The cover for Daughter of Eden is a serious downgrade from the other two. Can't say I blame Jason for putting of reading it!

[@booksimnotreading]

I shared your comment and Jason started going on again about it! Some wounds never heal! 💛
