Weekly Reading Wrap Up 8-18-24

[@naglebagle10]

Excited for the short story Saturdays! I personally love Jack London’s short stories and there’s lots of collections I’ve seen at used bookstores. His most famous is To Build a Fire but my favorite by far is A Piece of Steak.

[@kevintowle9665]

Awesome. Thanks for the suggestion. I will keep a lookout And add him to the list!

[@OddOdieOnline]

I love the idea of short story Saturdays! That’s an amazing idea man

[@kevintowle9665]

Glad to hear it, I look forward to it myself! I think it should be fun.

Ray Bradbury is the king of short stories. The Martian Chronicles, The October Country & The Illustrated Man are all short story collections.

[@kevintowle9665]

Definitely will go on the list! So much for not getting more books for a while lol. 😂

Maximum Bob is a great story and Elmore Leonard is a fantastic writer. You had another great week and I am looking forward to what's in store for the upcoming week. I am not really a short story reader but I have a collection of The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard (while we are talking about him) and I really enjoyed it. It contains the story "3:10 To Yuma."

[@kevintowle9665]

Good to hear I will enjoy Maximum Bob…and I definitely need to get that Elmore collection of western stories. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@CGRatedBooks]

Such huge content variety. Wow, sounds like some very exciting upcoming ideas. Looking forward to all that you desire to bring to the community.

[@kevintowle9665]

Thank you Charles, have a great week!

[@stevebolahan6335]

I hope you do separate videos for book 7 and the whole series. The more harry potter content the better

[@kevintowle9665]

I plan to do just that after thinking about it. Do one for book 7 this week, and do an overall thoughts on the series afterwards, probably next week. Thanks Steve!

Si hapoy to see you enjoying Harry Potter. Love being able to just lose myself in an adventure. For kids some people say. I say if it brings joy go for it. Adventuring with Tadd Williams and Joe Abercrombe at the moment. Sun Eaters coming up next.

[@kevintowle9665]

I agree with you! It’s been a blast so far. It’s great to hear that others are reading Abercrombie…he is one of my favorites. I have heard good things about Christopher Ruocchio.

[@Travsbookshelf]

Great video. A Q&A tag might appeal to me since August marks one year I’ve been doing BookTube so it would give me a chance to do something to say a bit more about me as a reader since I never did a proper Book Tube Newbie Tag. Also I can’t wait for that short story series!

[@kevintowle9665]

Thank you. I will make sure to include you Trav!

[@Littlebiglibrary]

A nice weekly wrap. As for my involvement I think that I left 4 original comments on your channel last week. So yeah, a Solid week for sure. -James

You can plan on that sir. I look forward to reading and reviewing it soon!

[@DrL_Reads]

Ford County is a collection of short stories by John Grisham. I’ll be interested in your thoughts in the form of a review on those.

[@kevintowle9665]

Good one! I will add it to the list!

[@AlbertTheConjugator]

Hello, Kevin ✌️🙂 The short story videos sound interesting. I don't know many myself, but I'll be sure to let you know if I come across a good one 🤘

[@kevintowle9665]

Yep, Lamour is on my short list for short stories for sure! I have two collections from him. Glad you are doing Sackett Series!

[@FacelessBookReviews]

@@kevintowle9665 Oh good... just wanted you to know just in case you didn't. See I don't always have to be mean to you. Even tho James is always egging me on to do so. He even offers free books if I do. So who can pass up free books... the man owns a little and big library for heavens sake. 🤣

[@kevintowle9665]

@FacelessBookReviews he is ruthless!
