Great tag, Pat! I love your answer to No. 6. I’m the same… my reading experience has been so enriched by the thinking and planning that goes into making a video. It has really made me think much more deeply about what I’ve read. Thanks for the shoutout… always happy to make you smile! 😊
I agree Pat, such an amazing community - supportive, encouraging and welcoming. You spread so much joy and always a pleasure to see your success with the channel - very happy for you 🎂🥳🎉Very true about viewers and their comments, such an important part of the community and such amazing people. UA-cam has some new developments for community connections coming in 2025 so creators don't have to use other platforms, not sure when it will be available to all creators, just testing now a few channels. As always lovely responses to the questions and I agree, some hard to answer as just so many amazing people who are part of this community. Thank you for the tag and I will definitely try to do this soon as I know that right now many are facing various challenges, stress and anxiety so a good time to share the love. Have a great one
Your channel is so positive, friendly and warm! I love when you summarize a book-you are a great storyteller. I grab my crochet project and sit back and take it all in. Great tag!
Pat, I'm so glad I found your channel through this tag. :) It's a great tag and anything uplifting is appreciated, especially during these times. New subscriber!! :) Thanks for sharing your booktube channel with us!
Pat...you are too kind. And yes, that tumble was priceless for a video, as you know, I have no reservations on making fun of myself. Very interesting video idea that I will add to the list. I have really enjoyed our daily friendship. At 19:15 you mentioned being asked to lead a book discussion, what about a BookTuber Book Club sort of thing...just a thought.
Thanks, Kevin. No pressure on doing this tag--or any of them. I just wanted you to know that you were featured in it! And I've really enjoyed our friendship too. Yes, I'm just thinking about how best to manage a book club type of discussion where people could actually talk to one another. Discord and Voxer are certainly options...
Oh my beautiful friend, I love you dearly ❤. I think everything about you oozes positivity and I’m so glad we’ve become close friends. I learn so much from you and one of the things I admire most about you is you always find a positive about everything, even if it wasn’t for you. This was a fabulous video and it sums you up perfectly. Thanks so much for the mention and the tag. You are positively wonderful 😊
I am so grateful for you, Debs. I was remembering the other day how we starting talking on Voxer when I first started out here, and I instantly felt like we had been friends for life! Amazing! You are one of the brightest lights here! Thank you, my dear friend. Sending much love...
I love watching your videos because you, like a true teacher in every positive way, make everyone feel welcomed. The thought and preparation that goes into each video is evident. I learn or discover something new and exciting every time you’re on. 😊
Wonderful tag. I find this such a friendly, positive and welcoming community. I agree on Joe and Mary. They make me laugh out loud, too. Our shared love of books joins us all together.
Absolutely, Helen! And you are a central part of my booktube experience. I so appreciate all of your thoughtful comments. I feel as though we are really getting to know each other, and that has been wonderful! Thank you for being so supportive of my channel.
Well this was just lovely and fun. 😊 Your little corner of this little corner of booktube is such a warm and homey place, and I love the time I spend here. You radiate positivity! As you say to us in every video, we’re glad that you’re here Pat. 💛
Oh Patricia, thank you for this lovely comment! I am so grateful for you and for this friendship that we have created. I really am so glad that you're here--on my channel and in this little corner of BookTube and in my life!
Thanks, James. OK. I do have a funny side too. I could never have worked with teenagers for almost 40 years without a funny side. But you know what I mean. There are people who are just funny all the time. You guys in the Sackett Wagon Train are very funny all the time. Me, not so much...
❤ Pat, you are a bright light that shines for all of us. I just love watching you. Thank you so much for the mention. I’m so glad you laugh at our silly little videos. 😂😂 We love including the bloopers because we love making fun of ourselves! Lol. We can’t take ourselves too seriously. Thanks for joining in on the fun. You’re the best. 🎉
I love your channel, and I have loved getting to know you. You bring such joy to "our little corner" of booktube. Thank you for your friendship! Sending lots of love...
"Hear, hear!" 🎉 Youre The Best, Pat, and Im very happy to have you for a friend. Youve turned me on to new books/novels, and BookTube friends. I love the Group & Buddy Reads, especially, and I call Voxer & BookTube my "HAM Radio!" 📻 I'll be doing this tag, post haste! 😊
Hi pat, they have been so many good tags lately and I’m bummed that I’m too busy to do them right now, but I always watch as many videos as I can from people here that I care about like you. Aloha friend.
@@MarilynMayaMendoza no pressure from me ever, Marilyn. I just always want you to know that you are in my thoughts. You can do tags whenever...When your life settles down somewhat and you're looking for something to do, it will be fun to dip into some of these. I hope you're doing well, my dear friend!
Thank you for this lovely comment. You are so right about this world that we're living in. Thank you for watching and for commenting. I really appreciate your presence here.
Love the tag. You make a lot of people, including me, happy on Booktube. I agree with you that it is best not to answer those questions that ask for the names of a lot of booktubers or subscribers. I always fear leaving someone out. Thanks for tagging me. I will do this tag soon.
I actually had a whole paragraph that I was going to say about YOU in the "heartwarming" question, and then the whole video was getting too long and too complicated. I started over. But you know, I hope, how much I value our friendship, Stuart.
Well Pat,this is just the best endorsement of the joys and gifts of Booktube, and you are the perfect ambassador for Booktube Joy! Thanks for including me in the funny booktuber shout-outs. I absolutely would lose my mind trying to answer these prompts without making a 2 hour movie! Well done and uplifting!
@@readandre-read thanks, Angelia! I absolutely do love your running commentary on yourself in your videos. But my first version of this video had a whole other section, about the people who “warm my heart,” and you were in that too. This was just a sweet little tag that ended up becoming something fairly intense….Feel no pressure from me to do this one.
I am so glad that we've met here, Bad. You are always so kind and so welcoming. I never want anyone to. feel pressured to do these tags, but this one really is a "feel good" tag that spreads a lot of goodness around. I hope you have a wonderful Halloween. Stay well, my friend.
You don’t need to do more. You and your channel have been a force. Thank you for tagging me, but I can’t do this sort of thing. You carried it off - talking and declining to talk - masterfully.
Thank you, Charlie. I feel the same way about you. My heart was so full yesterday watching your latest Booktuber Meet-Up video. I'm so glad that you are all able to get together from time to time. I wish I was on the other side of the pond so that I could join all of you.
This whole video warmed my heart 🥰 It makes me happy to see you happy and enjoying yourself here on booktube! That in itself brings so much joy and positivity to all of us watching.
And you, I hope, know how special you are to me and how you have a special place in my heart....Thank you for always writing such thoughtful comments on whatever video I put out that. You are a treasure....
This was a beautiful video Pat. It almost brings tears to my eyes hearing how loving and appreciative you are to this community and all the positive aspects you notice in people. We are the lucky ones to have you in our lives! You are a true gem ✨💖📚🥰✨
I so relate to the comparison you made between preparing for a video and preparing to teach a book. I am also not teaching currently and it's so fulfilling to still be researching and using the results of my research in a different way! Thank you for this lovely video! 💐
Hi Ven. Thank you! I've been thinking about you and hope that you're doing okay. You are definitely tagged--if you want to do this too. Not that you need something else on your plate, but you know what I mean....
I loved doing this tag! It's a favorite, for sure! You are very warm and inclusive. I always feel welcome at your Book Chat! Thanks for the tag! Booktube definitely makes me feel happy!😊
I loved your version of this tag, Reney. The first time I tried to do it, I was focusing on specific people that I "warm my heart," as I told you yesterday. I had this whole section on you and how you and your channel have come to mean so much to me. But as the video grew longer and longer and I became more and more worried about the people I was leaving out, I decided that there has to be another way for me to talk about specific people other than in this video. So I'm still working on that, but I hope you know how much I value you and your channel (and co-host, too, of course!).
@@BookChatWithPat8668 Yes, of course! I feel the same way about you - I don't miss a video! I love your channel and the personal warmth you bring to it!
I knew when Kim from Middle of the Book March said you were a bright spot here on booktube that I would find just that. You do send out positivity and happiness to all of us. As a commenter I always feel welcomed and always take away something positive from watching one of your video's. Your thoughtfulness about not leaving anyone out in a prime example. I am sure they all bring something unique to your life as that is how I experience the different channels I watch! Be well and I really look forward to your books you enjoyed teaching series. I already pulled The Things that They Carried and have been inspired by Aaron Facer to reread The Catcher in the Rye. All good stuff!
Hi Marcia. I'm so glad that you are enjoying my channel. I certainly appreciate your presence here and your thoughtful comments. I'll be interested to hear how you like The Things They Carried. I just this afternoon posted my video on teaching The Catcher in the Rye. Aaron has decided to read it for the first time in the Christmas season, when the novel takes place, because I've been talking about it so much. He asked me where he should start with Salinger. I love all of Salinger, but Catcher is my all-time favorite, so that was my recommendation. I know that not everyone likes it, but it will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you, as always, for this lovely comment, Marcia. I hope you're doing well.
I just love you, Pat. You remind me of U2’s song, Tryin’ to Throw Your Arms Around the World. Thanks for being you and sharing so much of yourself with us. 🤗
Oh my goodness. Well, you just made me burst into tears. Thank you, dear Constance, for your kind and loving presence on my channel and everywhere you go in this community. Know how much I treasure you. ❤
Thanks for the tag Pat, you are such a special, wonderful part of the community. This is such an awesome tag and I will definitely tackle it when I get through tags on my waiting list.
Thank you for tagging me Pat. I did this tag a couple of weeks ago.. Your students were so lucky to have you! Now is our turn to enjoy your knowledge and kindness ☺
@@Uncommon_Reader thank you, Daniela. I tagged a couple people who already did this one just because I wanted people to know I was thinking of them since I opted not to answer the question about booktubers who “warm my heart.” I count you among those. Thank you so much for your kindness! 🥰
I wasn't going to comment on this video because I feel like I comment a lot and it has to be annoying. But then something is said and I feel the need to comment on that. 🙄 What a wonderful tag! I began watching UA-cam more at the beginning of covid and found booktube, which I didn't even know existed. I can't express what it meant at that time and continues to mean. I think of the people I follow as friends and friends that give me wonderful book recommendations. So many authors that I didn't know, particularly translated fiction. I want to read more Irish authors and more women authors and booktube has so expanded my horizons and wonderfully presented these authors. I look forward to seeing my booktuber friends every day and enjoy finding new ones. This type of content is the true beauty and positive aspect of the internet.
Oh please don’t ever feel that you comment too much! I treasure your comments!! I wish that I had found BookTube during Covid. Probably just as well that I didn’t, though, because I was trying to figure out how to teach five classes of teenagers a day from my living room! Just as well that I didn’t know about it because I never would have been able to teach from my laptop! I discovered BookTube when I retired, and it pulled me out of a weird, dark place. I’m glad that you feel connected to the people you follow because you ARE a central part of the community we are all in here. Thank you, as always, for this lovely comment! 🥰
@@MysteryandMayhem-gr7nn I’m glad to know you, too, Jim. Please don’t feel any pressure about this. I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you. Really, don’t stress over tags. 😊
Pat, you are literally a gem. I think we can all agree that your channel is a pleasure to watch and that you are a genuinely awesome person. I can definitely relate to not being able to narrow down the channels for a prompt because there are so many but I can definitely say that you are one of the channels I ALWAYS click on because it is such a joy to hear your positivity and warmth and have that interaction with you and I genuinely value our friendship. And thank you for the tag. I am always so honored when you think of me because there are sooo many awesome booktubers out here. 😊
You are a dear friend, Nicky. I am so grateful for you in my life. I remember the first time I watched one of your videos and commented. It wasn't all that long ago, and yet I feel like I've known you for a lifetime. Thank you, always, for your kindness toward me. Know how much I appreciate you.
@ Pat, you might chuckle at this but since I often listen to Booktube while doing “chores” you have made doing dishes and mopping enjoyable 😉 and I have to tell you that you have made me want to explore new genres. You are going to be the one who gets me to love poetry!
Awww thank you, Nicole. I love your content as well. No pressure to do this tag. I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you. I hope you are doing well.
Oh Nina, I had your name at the very top of my list! And then as the list kept getting longer, I thought, how do I read off all these names? And what if I have left someone off? And you know me: I just decided I can't do this. Remember when I did read your name off for something? You said you almost fainted--or something to that effect! You know, I hope, how much I appreciate you!
@@BookChatWithPat8668 I do remember that shout-out. I almost went down! 😂 Thank you for all you share, Pat. You do make me feel very much a part of your classroom and this community.
So right - the start of the videos for Middle of the Book March are hilarious and intriguing. For leading a book discussion, you could just run a book club with videos like Steve Donoghue and field questions in the chat - so it's simply just another video. Then for end of the book, try a livestream to handle comments 'live' as in a classroom, knowing everyone has been reading the book together so everyone can take part and is 'on the same page'.
Thanks, Heather. I guess I want to find ways where everyone can actually talk to one another--not merely write comments in the chat. I'm just not sure this is the right medium, but I hear what you're saying, and I appreciate your thoughts.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 Yes, I thought you'd want to foster discussion. But I just thought there was a chary look in your eye about tackling a whole new tech setup and platform, so suggested the one you're now proficient in and comfortable with. All the best for your bookclub.
@ oh I understand, Heather, and I do appreciate all of your suggestions. I don’t really want to tackle more tech issues. I guess I am thinking more along the lines of livestreams, but something where people can actually talk to one another…Oh you know what I mean. I’m feeling so sick and discouraged now at the state of things here that I can’t really see myself taking anything else on now anyway. But thank you for your thoughts. I always appreciate hearing from you…🥰
@@BookChatWithPat8668 I understand. BTW, UA-cam just suggested I watch an 8 year old recording with pre-UA-cam Steve being shown the ropes by 2 young people who got him into running his own channel - delightful. It's called "Reorganizing all of Steve's books by color (Day 65)" on channel Rhodes Vlog. Pleasant viewing. And yes, 2 of his bookcases are reorganised for him so the spines run in colour sequence!
I feel that if I gush about you yet again your ego will run rampant on Booktube and we’ll next see you sitting on a throne with sycophants lined up to kiss your ring… 🤣🤣🤣 YOU’RE THE BEST!!! ❤❤❤
You don’t need to do more. You and your channel have been a force. Thank you for tagging me, but I can’t do this sort of thing. You carried it off - talking and declining to talk - masterfully.
Great answers! I also tried different genres and found unexpected favorites because of Booktube
It really has been wonderful to venture into new and undiscovered realms because of BookTube. Thank you for watching and for commenting!

Thanks for tagging me, Pat, although I may have to do a slightly different take: BookTube Stresses Me Out! 😉
Awww...I'm sorry. That could be fun, though.

I just this afternoon posted my video on teaching The Catcher in the Rye. Aaron has decided to read it for the first time in the Christmas season, when the novel takes place, because I've been talking about it so much. He asked me where he should start with Salinger. I love all of Salinger, but Catcher is my all-time favorite, so that was my recommendation. I know that not everyone likes it, but it will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you, as always, for this lovely comment, Marcia. I hope you're doing well.
I just love you, Pat. You remind me of U2’s song, Tryin’ to Throw Your Arms Around the World. Thanks for being you and sharing so much of yourself with us. 🤗
Oh my goodness. Well, you just made me burst into tears. Thank you, dear Constance, for your kind and loving presence on my channel and everywhere you go in this community. Know how much I treasure you. ❤
@ Oh, honey. Thank you, too. 💕💕💕
Thanks for the tag Pat, you are such a special, wonderful part of the community. This is such an awesome tag and I will definitely tackle it when I get through tags on my waiting list.
No pressure from me ever, Cliff. I've got a backlog of tags too. Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 Thank you Pat! ♥
Thank you for tagging me Pat. I did this tag a couple of weeks ago.. Your students were so lucky to have you! Now is our turn to enjoy your knowledge and kindness ☺
@@Uncommon_Reader thank you, Daniela. I tagged a couple people who already did this one just because I wanted people to know I was thinking of them since I opted not to answer the question about booktubers who “warm my heart.” I count you among those. Thank you so much for your kindness! 🥰
@@BookChatWithPat8668 💕I did hear that part, so kind of you 🙏🏻
I wasn't going to comment on this video because I feel like I comment a lot and it has to be annoying. But then something is said and I feel the need to comment on that. 🙄 What a wonderful tag!
I began watching UA-cam more at the beginning of covid and found booktube, which I didn't even know existed. I can't express what it meant at that time and continues to mean. I think of the people I follow as friends and friends that give me wonderful book recommendations. So many authors that I didn't know, particularly translated fiction. I want to read more Irish authors and more women authors and booktube has so expanded my horizons and wonderfully presented these authors. I look forward to seeing my booktuber friends every day and enjoy finding new ones. This type of content is the true beauty and positive aspect of the internet.
Oh please don’t ever feel that you comment too much! I treasure your comments!! I wish that I had found BookTube during Covid. Probably just as well that I didn’t, though, because I was trying to figure out how to teach five classes of teenagers a day from my living room! Just as well that I didn’t know about it because I never would have been able to teach from my laptop! I discovered BookTube when I retired, and it pulled me out of a weird, dark place. I’m glad that you feel connected to the people you follow because you ARE a central part of the community we are all in here. Thank you, as always, for this lovely comment! 🥰
I love your outlook on things, Pat. I'm glad to know you. Thanks for tagging me!
@@MysteryandMayhem-gr7nn I’m glad to know you, too, Jim. Please don’t feel any pressure about this. I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you. Really, don’t stress over tags. 😊
@BookChatWithPat8668 I always plan to get to them, but I end up not doing too many. Just one of the many things I need to work on for my channel.
@ your channel is wonderful the way it is. 😊
Thanks, Pat. ☺️
Pat, you are literally a gem. I think we can all agree that your channel is a pleasure to watch and that you are a genuinely awesome person. I can definitely relate to not being able to narrow down the channels for a prompt because there are so many but I can definitely say that you are one of the channels I ALWAYS click on because it is such a joy to hear your positivity and warmth and have that interaction with you and I genuinely value our friendship. And thank you for the tag. I am always so honored when you think of me because there are sooo many awesome booktubers out here. 😊
You are a dear friend, Nicky. I am so grateful for you in my life. I remember the first time I watched one of your videos and commented. It wasn't all that long ago, and yet I feel like I've known you for a lifetime. Thank you, always, for your kindness toward me. Know how much I appreciate you.
@ Pat, you might chuckle at this but since I often listen to Booktube while doing “chores” you have made doing dishes and mopping enjoyable 😉 and I have to tell you that you have made me want to explore new genres. You are going to be the one who gets me to love poetry!
@ awww! This comment really did my heart good! Thank you for saying that! 🥰
Great answers to a great tag. Thank you, for tagging me.
Thanks, Jess! This was a very sweet tag to do. I’ll look forward to your responses if you choose to do this one! 😊
Great video, it warmed MY heart! Always love your content Pat!
Awww thank you, Nicole. I love your content as well. No pressure to do this tag. I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you. I hope you are doing well.
What a wonderful video. I appreciate so much your intellect, kindness, and your friendship. :)
@@TheLibraryMouseGina thank you, my friend! ❤️
Such a lovely video, Pat! ❤ And thank you for the tag.
Thank you, Britta. No pressure ever to do any of these tags. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 ❤
Thanks for this, you are a marvel!
And so are you, my friend. Thank you!
You make me happy, Pat!
@@book-ramble you are incredibly kind!🥰
YOU are what makes Booktube a happy place! And even though you didn't name names, WE know who your favorite commenter is, amiright?? 😉😉😉
Oh Nina, I had your name at the very top of my list! And then as the list kept getting longer, I thought, how do I read off all these names? And what if I have left someone off? And you know me: I just decided I can't do this. Remember when I did read your name off for something? You said you almost fainted--or something to that effect! You know, I hope, how much I appreciate you!
@@BookChatWithPat8668 I do remember that shout-out. I almost went down! 😂 Thank you for all you share, Pat. You do make me feel very much a part of your classroom and this community.
I'm glad!
So right - the start of the videos for Middle of the Book March are hilarious and intriguing. For leading a book discussion, you could just run a book club with videos like Steve Donoghue and field questions in the chat - so it's simply just another video. Then for end of the book, try a livestream to handle comments 'live' as in a classroom, knowing everyone has been reading the book together so everyone can take part and is 'on the same page'.
Thanks, Heather. I guess I want to find ways where everyone can actually talk to one another--not merely write comments in the chat. I'm just not sure this is the right medium, but I hear what you're saying, and I appreciate your thoughts.
@@BookChatWithPat8668 Yes, I thought you'd want to foster discussion. But I just thought there was a chary look in your eye about tackling a whole new tech setup and platform, so suggested the one you're now proficient in and comfortable with. All the best for your bookclub.
@ oh I understand, Heather, and I do appreciate all of your suggestions. I don’t really want to tackle more tech issues. I guess I am thinking more along the lines of livestreams, but something where people can actually talk to one another…Oh you know what I mean. I’m feeling so sick and discouraged now at the state of things here that I can’t really see myself taking anything else on now anyway. But thank you for your thoughts. I always appreciate hearing from you…🥰
@@BookChatWithPat8668 I understand. BTW, UA-cam just suggested I watch an 8 year old recording with pre-UA-cam Steve being shown the ropes by 2 young people who got him into running his own channel - delightful. It's called "Reorganizing all of Steve's books by color (Day 65)" on channel Rhodes Vlog. Pleasant viewing. And yes, 2 of his bookcases are reorganised for him so the spines run in colour sequence!
@ oh that’s priceless! I will have to try to find that!
I feel that if I gush about you yet again your ego will run rampant on Booktube and we’ll next see you sitting on a throne with sycophants lined up to kiss your ring… 🤣🤣🤣
YOU’RE THE BEST!!! ❤❤❤
OMG! You just made me laugh out loud again. You are such a delightful friend! Know how grateful I am to have you in my life. ❤
You don’t need to do more. You and your channel have been a force. Thank you for tagging me, but I can’t do this sort of thing. You carried it off - talking and declining to talk - masterfully.
Thank you, David. You don't need to do it. I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you....
