I'm way behind on watching booktube videos and just realized that I haven't watched this yet. I look forward to seeing your responses to the tags! God Bless...
Hi Tahlia, I watched your phenominal woman tag yesterday, was leaving a message and lost internet. And was too frustrated to start again. I'll leave a message today.
@@BookZealotsugh, I hate when the internet just goes out like that; so frustrating, especially if it refuses to come back in a timely manner. Thanks for watching my video!
Was it very popular then? I have no idea how my friend got her hands on it, but I'm glad she shared it with me. =) Have you re-read it since or have you had any desire to go back to it?
@@BookZealots I looked and it came out in 1984. Reading was my main entertainment then, there were not the distractions then as now. I don't know if I could reread it now because of eye strain but I know if I did it would be just as enjoyable. So many books, so little time.
@@charleennobles3819 You're right. A lot less distractions then. Sorry about the eye strain. I do think the font was what I call "teeny-tiny." And yes, sooooo many books, so little time.
@@charleennobles3819 You are so right. A lot less distractions! And I do think the book has "teeny-tiny" font. I'll have to check now out of curiosity. And soooooooooooo many books, so little time. now I want to read the book sooner and give a review just for you. 🤗
Might try to sneak into those dinner parties. You have under the sea and the sky covered! Romulus and Remus called and said only one can make it! Well done on the tag. Great to see you both together. I think Stalin should be on the naughty step though rather than the clock. Best wishes.
Prometheus has a headache but you made him laugh. He wants to respond, but he's had a hard day. We received bad news about our dog and we're not sure how much longer she'll be with us. As for Stalin. He was in a box in the library closet but he was pulled out for a video. He'll go back in the box as soon as I paint the room and hang the clock on the wall. The naughty step? Is that the outside stoop?
@@BookZealots So sorry to hear that. One of the problems with UA-cam is the sign out is near the switch channels. I have had a time and a half getting back in and now responses are not coming through easily. Best wishes to you all and your dog.
@@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk Thank you. A lot of people are unaware of the censorship, until they experience themselves it's easier for them to say it doesn't happen. I was put in time out about three or more times on another platform for reposting news. Interestingly, it has since been revealed as truth. If you notice your subscription going up by two and suddenly going down by two, it's the platform bots keeping an eye on you. LOL Thank you again for your kind wishes. We know we gave the old girl a better life. ~Erion
Thank you Cheryl. We recorded it and I had it edited, but then the software said it was corrupt or couldn't be found or some nonsense. So I had re-edit the whole thing. Very frustrating and time consuming, so we enjoyed doing the tag, more than editing the tag. LOL
0:54 Absolutely! Footnotes > Endnotes! 1:05 I agree; factual accuracy, without straying into the author’s opinion is sooo important 15:57 Eleanor Tilney 16:19 Such interesting dinner parties for both of you! 17:39 I love the fact that both of you chose books with survival techniques… I guess we know which booktubers are most likely to survive on the desert island. “Emma” isn’t likely to help me much when I’m hungry and exposed to the elements! 22:18 Erion, why not C.S. Lewis? Not a fan of the Narnia books? Or is it one (or some) of his other works?
We do want to survive on this fictional island, but hopefully get rescued or figure a way off. You're probably right about "Emma." LOL About C.S. Lewis, before I had read the Bible, I thought his book Mere Christianity was good. From a humanist perspective I suppose it was. When I tried reading it after having studied God's word and read the Bible through multiple times, I realized Lewis is greatly in error. His narnia books are not Christian. And I have issue, (gut wrenching trigger to distance myself), when people claim to be Christian and write or read fictional books about sorcery, or worse, say that Christians should read it. Lewis was more of a philosopher and less of a follower of Jesus, based on what I've read of his writings compared to scripture. I'm not opposed to reading history on the topic. I think it's important to be aware, especially to have discernment, but I also think we need to conform to God's word and not conform God's word to fit our worldly opinions, etc.
Hi, hello and how did I miss this! Some of these are hard and I don't have the best imagination, but I got some answers off the top of my head for some of the easier questions so here they are I just started James today so very very excited about that! Longest book is Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson at 1220 pages goodness gracious The last book I could not finish was Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, the whole no quotation marks or proper editing drives me crazy and I don't care how good the story is, if I can't read it I'm not gonna care about it at all That's all I got lol good questions though! Thank you for sharing and take care
Hi, hello~ I just put James on hold at the library so I might be able to start it this weekend. 👍 Oathbringer. Is that #3 in that series? We've had so much trouble getting that book. Does Brandon Sanderson know how to write short books? Ugh, Blood Meridian and no quotations sounds like a hot mess. I'm with you on that one. Hope you're having a great week.
My dinner guests would be Jacasta from outlander. Mammy from gone with the wind. Granny Dan from danielle steeles granny Dan. One f my favorite fictional books. The grinch because I love the grinch and Bernard Caldwell’s Alfred the great. I will never read a dean kootz book. I would write a book trying to make people see the south’s reasons for the civil war and that the men who fought for the south were not bad men. It was not all about slavery but people refuse to see it. To make people see the north had a lot of slaves I think I read somewhere especially Maine.
You mentinoed a couple of characters I've never heard of. I looked up Jocasta to see who this was. Not familiar with Granny Dan either. The husband is the Grinch, my Prometheus used to do a great mimic of the Grinch. We don't read Dean Koontz either. I think we've already talked about that.
@@BookZealots jacasta was a great character. She was the main character Jamie’s aunt. Get Prometheus to do the grinch. I would love to see him. Granny Dan was about a girl who thought her grandmother was a crazy old women but who found out after she died through a box of keepsakes and letters that her grandmother had a fascinating life.
@@user-iz6cc6lz3j-Vickie Oh wow, what a great dinner party you'd have! it sounds like Granny Dan's granddaughter missed out on a lot while her grandmother was still alive. Thank you for sharing more about the characters you chose. I appreciate that. LOL I will tell Prometheus and see if I can get him to record it. LOL
@@BookZealots definitely a wide range of characters. I think mammy and the grinch would keep us laughing and the other 3 would have fantastic stories. Jacasta lived through the Jacobite revolution in Scotland and mammy through the civil war.
Yes! Footnotes!
hooray for the footnote club!
