Nice collection of books there Reney!!! Lemme thank you for the tag. I will definitely get around to it later, but only a little later. I should have it posted not too long from now.
Hi Reney and Raina! Thank you so much for the tag.. "I'll Get Around to It Later" seems something like I would say about chores I need to do, procrastinate and enjoy reading a good book instead 😉 Now, on to serious things, I did not know The Pearl was a banned book! Why?! I read it in school and it's been a story that really stuck with me.
@Uncommon_Reader Not one of the MOST OFTEN banned, but I know it was on one of the ALA lists. The more powerful the book, the more likely it is to be challenged. And sometimes it's just political - a way to silence a voice.
Thanks for tagging me. I'll do this one soon. Much as I love The Stand, I can think of several reasons why you might not want to read it. The number one reason is it is a very long book
Thanks so much for tagging me, Reney! :) I appreciate it. I love Steinbeck and it brings back memories of when I had to read it in high school. I'm showing my age, I'm sure! I loved The Pearl. I also enjoyed Cannery Row. I'm from the Bay Area in CA so he's something of a literary hero there. :) Safe travels to Florida! :)
I haven't read enough Steinbeck either, 'The Pearl' is heartbreaking & beautiful, I must read more by him. 'Walking Home' sounds great. I love that Grisham cover. Thanks for another wonderful video, Reney. Happy reading, & enjoy the travels.
Hello, I'm new to your channel, first time watching you. First, I have to say, Raina is soooo adorable!! what a good little girl siting listening. I have 3 doggies of my own. Second, OMG the book "A flicker in the dark" is such a great book. I couldn't put it down. I was pleasantly surprised with how it unraveled. Like Grisham, well the movies based on his books lol
@karlag8312 Welcome! Yes, Raina is the ACTUAL star of the show. Everyone loves her! ❤️ I just finished "A Flicker in the Dark" - it is very good. I think I'll stay in my own lane and leave the Romance Genre alone. LOL!
Lots of great answers Reney! Hope that is the correct spelling. I was not a fan of The Exchange, but love Grisham as an author! The Stand is a great book, even the slog parts i enjoyed. Great video!
Steinbeck is so good! Have a safe trip to Florida!
Thank you for tagging me, I just dropped my video of your Christmas tag!
I KNOW! That's great! I just finished watching it.

@CGRatedBooks Sure! It's an easy tag, really. I know we all have books we are "meaning to get to".

@stuartgriffin1001 Sure is! But one of these months it will BE the TBR!

I LOVE the Bay Area. So beautiful and the people are superb! I'll probably post a video or two from the Sunshine State!
Ted, i look forward to your take on this tag.
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il Yes, the Bay Area has much to offer. I did end up moving to TX only because of the crowds and the cost of living. :)
@@kevintowle9665 Ok, well the pressure is on! LOL :) Thanks, Kevin!

@apoetreadstowrite thank you! Steinbeck is so good! Definitely a favorite of mine throughout the years. Happy reading to you!
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il: Thanks , Reney. All best wishes to Raina too.

@@BeyondBooks-wt5il I don't like romance either, so I don't blame you 😄😄

@kevintowle9665 I haven't heard of anyone really liking The Exchange. This was a fun tag, Kevin - thanks!
