[@jules.mp3]

The Holdovers was so fantastic!!!!

[@booksaresick]

Why did I record this in 4K

[@ThistlewitchTomes]

Because the voices told you to

[@dunny_420]

looks great! lol

[@danhamilton7990]

Demon copperhead is the best book of the past 2 years Enjoy!!

[@azchen]

As you should

[@cynthiafialka]

My favorite Christmas movies are Home Alone, Elf and Christmas Vacation. And the old animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Also, in our family we give lists of things we’d like for Christmas. We put more things on the list than we will get. That way we will be surprised since we don’t know what will be picked. Works wonders

I’m glad you’re going to keep making videos. I wait all week for this update. Haroun and the sea of stories - Salman Rushdie. Is my book of the year. He wrote it for his son and you can feel the love he put into it.

[@CarolAttrux]

Loved The Holdovers!❤

[@Ugo-free]

Halfway through Demon Copperhead, and it’s so good! I grew up in the 90s with friends in similar situations so it hits really close to home.

[@rachell4444]

Demon Copperhead was great. Not an easy read but so so good. Hope you enjoy it . Happy Christmas 🎄

[@romanticdove]

My favourite christmas movie is the holiday, and love actually and Jim careys the grinch.

[@markec123]

My weekly reminder for you to read The Shadow of the wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

[@ЕленаЛобашова-й2щ]

Thank you so much for your video! Get well soon! ❤ Merry Christmas!

[@cocktailshrimps]

I watch Elf every year but Klaus on Netflix is also amazing

[@RyanLisbon]

Diehard is the best Christmas movie

[@Jeff-312]

The Holdovers is great! Loved how they made it look and feel like an 80s/90s movie. I think my favorite has to be Christmas Vacation, but it’s hard not to be when I’m in the Chicago area-even though Home Alone was also shot in the burbs of Chicago.

[@SandyHartman-zi1wu]

Demon Copperhead is a masterpiece, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

[@HunterHilly]

You’re going to love Demon Copperhead. Probs my #1 book of the year.

[@Zedstorm9246]

[@jacksonmarschall7005]

I hope you are as amazed by Demon Copperhead as I was. - Happy Holidays!

[@connorburton1570]

I just read Mistborn, loved it! Almost done with the second book now

[@MWB12]

Neuromancer will light your brain on fire! 👍🏼❤️

[@steved1135]

Definitely. Read it first in 1990 and it changed my entire perspective on SF. Quickly followed by Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive. Early Gibson is perfection.

[@reading_fastandslow]

I really enjoyed the xmas movie Nutcrackers with Ben Stiller, it has a little bit of a similar vibe to Holdovers but slightly younger/zanier kids on a farm.

[@Jodi9810]

I liked The Holdovers last year too. My favorite Christmas movie is Office Christmas Party. For the last several years my husband and I have had a tradition of watching it every Christmas morning in bed before the kids wake up and we start the family holiday stuff (it's very much NOT a watch-with-your-kids movie!). Coincidentally, Da'Vine Joy Randolph is in both of these movies - I love her and think she does a great job in both.

[@jmacpalmer7770]

Demon Copperhead was inspired by charles Dickens novel David Copperfield. You do not have to have read David Copperfield to enjoy Demon Copperhead. There are characters in Kingsolver's book that call to mind characters in David Copperfield. Enjoy Demon Copperhead. It's sad at times but I suspect you will like it 😊

[@ColaBreak]

Fav movies: Home alone 1 and 2, Arthur Christmas, the Grinch( both animated), elf, rise of the guardians, Muppets Christmas carol, and Santa Claus. My favorite Christmas book is The Christmasaurus.

[@ThroughTheClassicGlass]

Week 49 alrighty? Goodness!

[@chunk50498]

I read my penguin classics. I guess I don’t understand the concept of purchasing a penguin classic book but not reading. My question is what do you do with a Penguin classic book if you don’t read it? I know in my experience reading Dracula and Frankenstein penguin classics that ink of cover came off from reading. I guess I’m just confused on what to do with them if you don’t read em’.

[@Upverse96]

Have you read Norwegian Wood? I finished it today, and now I don't know what to do with myself! It'll make you feel things for sure.

[@ColtenL1129]

2025 would be a great year for you to finally read Billy Summers by Stephen King.

[@edkulpa]

Do we really need to keep on counting weeks? 😛 Just asking

[@booksaresick]

At least until I hit 1 year ;)

[@megandwyer9429]

Ive commented before that you should read demon copperhead

[@nl3064]

Honestly, I find that new cover for The Shining pretty ugly. Think I prefer the mass market Anchor Books version I have.

[@fraternalcloud3883]

Did not like Demon Copperhead, everyone liked it but it wasn’t for me, good luck.

[@SirWonderBeard]

Why don’t you always?

[@margaretbailey8463]

Loved Holdovers, but my faves are Elf and White Christmas (Sisters, Sisters by Danny Kay and Bing Crosby in drag!).

[@MokeleMbembeLives]

Same!!!!! "Sisters! Sisters! There were never such devoted Sisters!" Every time he hits him with the fan and he jumps, I laugh so hard.

[@margaretbailey8463]

@MokeleMbembeLives my sister and I loved it so much we gave each other videotapes (yes, VHS) for Christmas one year.

[@michaelshouse9430]

Was Butcher's Crossing one of the books you couldn't get into? Reading it now and can't wait for your thoughts

[@kellysantizo3403]

You should watch 8 Bit Christmas. One of my favs for sure

[@markec123]

Hey Nick, why aren't you ever looking directly into the lens?

[@Jdmcclaran05]

When do you plan on reading some more Dostoevsky?

[@nl3064]

🙄

[@booksaresick]

As soon as I figure out a way to double the amount of time I have in a day ;) haha
