I was very happy to see Paradise Lost for “Falling”! Very clever! Milton was a genius indeed. This was a delightful video, Pat. Thank you!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

This was a really fun and creative tag. I really enjoyed putting it together. I’ll look forward to your responses, Joshua.

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

This was so cool watching you do the tag and the great choices that you made. Your love of reading comes through very clearly. Best wishes to you Pat.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

I LOVED this tag! It was both challenging and fun! And I was able to bring in books I’ve never talked about on BookTube. Thanks for creating this and for including me! 😊

[@bookstalgic]

Thank you for tagging me Pat! You had so many interesting books you talked about in this one. Paradise Lost is on my shelf waiting for me to pick it up! I've also wanted to read Gulliver's Travels one of these days as well as Hamlet. Congrats on finishing Les Miserables!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Hi Farrah. Thank you! This was an incredibly thought-provoking tag. I really enjoyed doing it and thought you might too--whenever! NO pressure from me ever. Just wanted you to know you were on my mind!

[@ellenmadebookclub]

Ooh this tag feels like a quest in itself, like an escape room or something where you have to solve a bunch of riddles! Really fun and great answers from you! I’ll add this to my list, thank you for tagging me! 😊

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Oh Ellen, this one was such fun! I’ll look forward to your responses! 😊

[@MyMessyBookshelf]

What an interesting tag! I can’t think of better answers than Oedipus for question “bad decisions” or Paradise Lost for “falling”. Thanks so much for the tag!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Hi Nicky. I just thought this was such a creative tag. I had a lot of fun putting my responses together. I'll look forward to your answers--whenever you get around to doing this. No pressure from me!

[@GenreBooks23]

Thanks Pat, and you can tag me regardless! Great shout by choosing the Milton, not many bigger falls than that.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Hi Gavin. I knew you had been tagged on the original, but I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t include you in my list too!

[@MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm]

Great choices, Pat! I absolutely loved Mr. Penumbra’s. You reminded me I need to read Gulliver’s Travels too. ❤️

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Thanks. I really liked Mr. Penumbra’s too. I have a thing for books about bookstores! 😊

[@heidiblauvelt2846]

3 days of falling! Bringing back memories - i took 2 great Milton classes in college. Just found my copy of Paradise Lost, will have to revisit!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

How wonderful, Heidi! 😊

[@readandre-read]

This is a new one! Fun tag and I love your selections. I'm thinking about reading The Time Machine for Victober this year - mash up Victorian and science fiction. Okay, you're picking so many books that I would pick!! Frankenstein, Great Expectations, and Signal Fires! I love the parade of classics in this video. I've never read Mr. Penumbra and it sounds like fun. I will certainly get to this one ...eventually!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

I just thought this was such a unique tag. Of course I picked the books you would pick! It’s that shared brain thing…I did not, however, include Catcher in this one!😂

[@AaronReadABook]

I've already started compiling my answers for this one! A fun tag.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Hi Aaron! This one was really fun-very creative! I’ll look forward to your responses! 😊

[@ReadBecca]

Fantastic answers! I just saw Robin Sloan has a new book this year, I'm very looking forward to it!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Oh I didn’t know that! Exciting!

[@patriciah8579]

A terrific assortment of books! Also, delightful to have gotten a generous dose of you on the live show earlier this evening. 🙂

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Hi Patricia! Thank you for coming to the livestream. It was really a lot of fun! Hope you’re doing well! 😊

[@awebofstories]

Thank you for the tag! This sounds like a fun one and I was at the end of my backlog of tags, so I should have this one up in a couple of weeks!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Great! I thought this was a really unique one. I’ll look forward to your responses-whenever! 😊

[@stuartgriffin1001]

I love your answers. Thanks for tagging me. I will do this soon.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Thanks, Stuart. I'll look forward to seeing your responses to the prompts! It was a fun one to do.

[@BeyondBooks-wt5il]

Thanks, Reney. This was a challenging one but lots of fun. Truly unique. I’ll look forward to your responses whenever you get around to it.😊

[@TimeTravelReads]

[@MichaelRomeoTalksBooks]

What a fun tag. Your answers were excellent.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Thank you, Michael! This one was lots of fun! Consider yourself tagged too if you’d like to do this one.😊

[@noteworthyfiction]

Nice book picks for your answers!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Thanks. This was a really fun one!

[@JamesRuchala]

Hamlet spoiler! Thanks for the tag. I'll get this one done soon

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

There I go again, spoiling Hamlet…and Oedipus too! I’ll look forward to your responses. This was a really creative tag.

[@joycejarrard6958]

I was disappointed by Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore. I felt that the way he solved the mystery was a kind of "cheat" with a computer. What the researchers were doing was much more interesting to me. I ended up switching this book to a different prompt in my 52 Book Challenge.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

It’s true. The researchers’ methods were much more interesting.

[@BookishChas]

This was a fun tag Pat!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Thanks, Chas. I really enjoyed this one!

[@heathersmusic8833]

Hi Pat! I’m impressed, though not surprised, that you had physical copies of all the books for these prompts. I would love to see your bookshelves sometime. No pressure, though. ❤

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Hi Heather! Long story about my library upstairs….Maybe by this summer I can film from up there…😊

[@heathersmusic8833]

@@BookChatWithPat8668 Oh a library! I’m intrigued.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

@@heathersmusic8833 no, really no cause for intrigue....It's just a room filled with bookshelves and most of my books. But for two years, I had my recently divorced brother living here and using that room. He's moved on now, but he hasn't taken a lot of his stuff, and it's just a state of chaos. Maybe this summer I will tackle getting him to move the rest of his stuff out and putting it back together. For now, though, I really can't film upstairs....

[@GrammaticusBooks]

Hey Pat, this is in response to your deleted comments (wanted to make sure you got this): I've had this happen before Pat. With other commenters and with myself. My personal guess is the KZbin AI algorithm doesn't like something (probably incorrectly) and is deleting it. Some key word in a banned word list is my best guess. I'm sorry you're having this problem!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Thanks, Grammaticus. Yes, I did get your response on your channel. It is so strange. I was just commenting on the wonderful Defoe edition that your daughter gave you. I was also trying to tell you that I think I found a copy of The Planet of the Apes. I’m thinking the Algorithm didn’t like that…
