The Booktube Community Joy and Gratitude Tag

[@genteelblackhole]

What a lovely tag. And I’d just like to say that I’m grateful for your channel, and the warm welcome you give to everyone who visits. Thank you! 💜

[@booksimnotreading]

@@genteelblackhole Thank you so much! What a kind thing to say! 💛

I named my daughter Betsy - guess why! The day she got married I gave her my hardback copy of Betty's Wedding. We cried. Lol PG Wodehouse makes me laugh, so does Angela Thirkell in a different way. Every time I read Robert Frost I'm grateful for his poetry, the way he sees the world and shares that with us. This is a great time to look for the joy in life, after all the stress. Thanks for sharing!

[@booksimnotreading]

Hello! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I loved hearing the story about your daughter named Betsy. What a wonderful memory and a great story. Thank you for sharing with me, and I hope to hear from you again!

Something about BookTube I find joyful? You, Kelly, of course!

[@booksimnotreading]

@@wordswordseverywhere9113 You, Mark! 💛💛💛

Hi Kelly 😊 Thanks for the tag! You’re right about the double tag, Pat tagged a whole bunch of people! So I already have my video up, if you want to watch that. I’m still looking forward to reading that book about the nuns, I have it saved on my want to read list. Happy reading!

[@booksimnotreading]

@@ellenmadebookclub Oh, I knew I was double-tagging most people! I will check out your video. Happy reading! 💛

[@binglamb2176]

Without booktube, I would have no one to share books and thoughts about books with and this is an especially comfy place to do that. Thanks!

[@booksimnotreading]

@@binglamb2176 I know what you mean! Thanks for being here! 💛

You always have such joyful energy in your videos. By and large, most of the people on BookTube seem to be very nice and genuine. The nasty people I've encountered, who've left rude comments and personal attacks on a few of my videos (which I promptly deleted and reported), don't seem to have been BookTubers, but just people who use KZbin to watch and comment on videos.

[@booksimnotreading]

@@Ursulas_Odds_and_Sods Thank you so much, Ursula for your kind words! 💛

Nice tag Kelly. Go well. 😊

@@nathanfoung2347 Thanks, Nathan! Be well, friend. 💛

[@readandre-read]

I love your book selections for Pat's tag! I read all of those Betsy/Tacy when I was a kid.

[@booksimnotreading]

@@readandre-read Thank you so much! Somehow the women in m family must have just managed to miss the Betsy-Tacy books as kids. Otherwise I’m sure I would have had them foisted upon me, as was the case with so many other books! 💛

[@faithbooks7906]

Thanks for tagging me!

@@faithbooks7906 Of course! 💛

[@erichoman7623]

Alright already - you've shamed me into going out for a copy of 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" (which I've been meaning to get to for years). This must be some tree!

[@booksimnotreading]

@@erichoman7623 Oh! I can’t wait to hear what you think of it!!! 💛💛💛

[@GinaStanyerBooks]

Thanks for tagging me my dear friend 😘🤗💕

[@booksimnotreading]

Probably you've been tagged 5 times! But it seems like a tag that fits your channel well. 💛

[@GenreBooks23]

Wow, last man standing on a group read!

[@booksimnotreading]

@@GenreBooks23 I didn’t like the book in the end, but it might have gone better if they hadn’t given up! 💛

[@GenreBooks23]

@ well done for persevering. I’m not sure I want to know what it was!

[@Montie-Adkins]

You and I do not read the same stuff, but I might have a 'meet me halfway' book you might like; Daniel O'Thunder by Ian Weir.

[@booksimnotreading]

@@Montie-Adkins Montie, ok I’ll add it to the list! 😃💛

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Hi Kelly! Thank you so much for doing my tag. I’m very grateful for you! These are lovely and really interesting choices for the prompts. I especially love your choices for the community prompt. What was the book that you finished alone? Just curious…Thank you again for doing the tag. 🥰

[@booksimnotreading]

@@BookChatWithPat8668 Everything is Illuminated, which I did not like, but I can say that because I read it all the way to the end! 😂💛

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

@ you know, I bought that book after I read his later book, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (?), but I haven’t read it yet….Im sorry you were abandoned! I’d love to read something with you at some point. 😊

[@booksimnotreading]

@@BookChatWithPat8668 Oh, Pat! That would be delightful! 💛

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

@ wonderful! Let’s think on what we might like to read….but no urgency. 😊

[@katsbooks2631]

I didn’t know there was a new book coming out of Nick Hornby’s Believer columns! I’ve read the first four and read quite a few of the books he mentions in them. How did you find out? I’ve Googled and can’t find anything.

[@booksimnotreading]

@@katsbooks2631 My husband found it. I’ll leave another comment later with the title, OK? Isn’t it exciting? 💛

[@booksimnotreading]

@katsbooks2631 The title of the new Nick Hornby book is Rosamond Lehmann in Vegas. No idea what that means, but I'm super excited. Thanks for your patience.

[@katsbooks2631]

No worries! Thank you for finding out the title for me!

[@tillysshelf]

Of course you would pick the Betsy Tacey series. I can't believe I've seen you talk about this series for years and never read it or even come across it elsewhere.

[@booksimnotreading]

@@tillysshelf Hmmm … you might need to find them at some point. I would have loved to read them as a girl. Let me know if I can help you with that! 💛😃

[@mame-musing]

Your feelings about DNF’g may shift ten years from now. It’s likely you will have less patience with finishing books that you are not enjoying. Awareness of time will come to the fore. 😉

[@booksimnotreading]

@@mame-musing Yes, I’m sure you are right. 💛
