I wish I could send you a list of books I have piled up to give away. As a lifelong book collector, among other things, I have books from my parents and grandparents. I’d love to send some on to you, so you don’t have to inconvenience the folks waiting for you while you are deciding what to get 😂. No joke, really. Media mail is cheap, and I’d be happy to send a boxful!
Omg, you're so generous! I wish I had room for a boxful of books. I have stacks of unread ones in my hallway that I'm afraid will one day topple on my dog. 😅But I'd love it if you wanted to send me your favorite book from your giveaway pile.
I don't get to my media journal on time so ...I have a cheater notebook. Messy lists of my non-youtube media consumption and book reviews as I finish them. I don't write a lot for any book (several to a page in my "real" journal) but copying over what I felt when I finished it feels nice. If I wait a month or more the commentary is similar to "MC did a thing that annoyed me, merry band of friends redeemed book, ending was plot armor riddled tidying." That makes no sense a year later lol
A cheater notebook is a great idea! I tend to write a few lines on scrap paper to remind myself what I want to journal about later. I find it especially hard to write reviews on books that are only okay. If I don't feel strongly about it one way or another, I have little to say. Now you have me wanting to start a journal on the TV and movies I watch. As if I need another one! lol
@@AsToldbyJoey Mine all go in the same notebook! I've got TV, Movies, Podcasts and Video Games as categories alongside Books. A lot of what I write is more about my feelings than the media. For a few months my partner and I watched a sitcom at dinnertime. Dinner and a show is our routine anyways, but seeing that we lasted months on one show was really something to appreciate. Sometimes we'll start a show and by episode 3 I peace out. Documented! lol It really is an entirely different beast than a reading journal but I highly recommend.
@@ccpippin307 That'll be fun to look back on years later! Knowing me, I will start with one book and then have to further categorize it by subject. It's how I went from having one bujo to a traveler's notebook to multiple traveler's notebooks. 😆
What size nib do you have on your Pelikan m600 violet/white? I love that I found your channel and I have fallen in love with that pen. I don't even use fountain pens, but I might have to start.....😆
Yep, it's a fine nib, but it's very wet so it writes like a medium nib compared to other brands. It's a beautiful pen, but sometimes I wish it was a little bigger, like an M800. Those are super expensive though. The nice thing about the hobby is there are some great entry level pens. Unfortunately, it's a slippery slope from there...😅

I actually found it on one of your other videos. It's a fine nib.
