I'm glad you feel that way partner... so it won't seem weird or suspicious when I ask for your SS#, mothers maiden name and the name of your first dog? It's for "research" I'm doing on my next video. LOL Oh and thank you for realizing how humble a man I am... If you were hear I would let you kiss my ring... :) Have a good weekend sir!

You have no idea how much I actually needed that comment right now. I've felt a bit burned out and stressing a bit on trying to keep up with everything related to this channel. I'm way behind on my videos as well as watching other peoples channels that I enjoy. Then I come and see this comment and it helps with getting me out of my mini funk... I really appreciate this comment. You are officially my favorite subscriber now. Don't tell any of the other subscribers because they tend to get a little jealous around here... LOL :) But really this couldn't have come at a better time... Thank you so much!

The Tarzan series is great. I remember reading them and I remember that I enjoyed them. I can't really do a TBR list because I'm so random. One day it's WW2 books then I switch to Westerns then I might switch again. Have a good day and enjoy your reads.
@FacelessBookReviews2 ай бұрын
Yeah I have to admit I'm not sure I'm enjoying the TBR thing... it really messes with my mood reading and I keep failing at finishing them... I might have to come up with something crafty.... not sure what that is yet but I'm thinking of a way to have a list of book and not necessarily be locked into them... Have a great day yourself my friend. Give Bella a scratch for me.

Yes Auston wanted to give it a go... he says it isn't well received so he wants to see for ourselves. Lets be honest you know I'm going to like it. LOL It's a western what else do I have to say. :) I can't wait to dive into her books. It's killing me that it's taking me so long to finish my most recent read. Stalker! stop watching me with your narrow eyes when I'm going on my walks. You have a Kindle correct? I'll break it down for you if that is what you have to read from. I'm illiterate when it comes to this stuff and I figured it out... super easy now... Let me know if you have the Kindle. As always I love your comments and I'm glad you enjoy the verses. I knew when I made them a priority on my channel that I would never be big. LOL There will be those who love/like them, there will be those who are indifferent and there will be those who hate them. But it's my channel and I fall in the love category so they stay. :) Who need to be big when I have you as a subscriber... I so wanna narrow my eye with that last bit... LOL Have a great day my friend.

Great video! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on those books. I also can’t wait to read the sister brothers and review it and also hear your thoughts on the book. As far as my coffee mug I grew up a Ray Lewis and Ed Reed fan so I’ve always rooted for them but The Giants are my team no matter what lol

Wow, I *love* this format of video! The walk looks great. I hope you enjoy Tarzan. I love them - FYI the story pretty much continues into the second one. I've been curious about SPQR for a while; look forward to your thoughts.

Hey thanks! Now that spring is here I hope the scenery will become a little more appealing. So far I'm loving Tarzan and I'm glad to hear that it continues into the next one. I think I'm hook on Tarzan at least from the first 20% of it read. I guess I better get on SPQR as I haven't touched it this month. LOL I've been enjoying all my other reads that I haven't been picking it up in between like I thought I would. But hey there are still 2 weeks left in this month and I'm almost done with my TBR. Glad you mentioned that... it's not motivated me to finish it. Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!

Oh I love Nikki, she's so sweet! Her books are on my radar, I just haven't gotten to them yet Yes I also have read books by other booktubers and it's an interesting place to be in, but at the end of the day it's best to be honest. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Yeah Nikki is such a great sole. Just a little enticement to maybe get in touch with her and get her books.... book one was good but so far book two is better... all I can say until I do my final thoughts video... I'm almost done with book 2 and I'm hooked... oh plus... like I said she signs her books... pretty cool little bonus. :)

Yeah, I have bought loads of books from independent authors I have met online, in fact I still have to read one this month. It is always great fun to get packages. Go ahead and trash them if they suck HAHAHHAHAHAHA Seriously that is not cool, but yes the authors always appreciate constructive criticism. Have fun with your buddy read - those are always fun too. I used to do lots of those too and they are always great fun. Project Gutenberg is a goldmine - I used to volunteer for that site. Your part of the country is beautiful for a nice walk - it is already near 100F here in the SouthWest HAHA Thank you for the video.

😂😂😂 "trash them if they suck" I can't stop laughing. I always love your comments because of the humor that usually lies within. We are a lot alike in that aspect. Anyways I'm looking forward to this month and yes the Gutenberg site is a gold mine. That is interesting that you used to do that... I'm too selfish... I'd rather just get the free books and not have to give my time. 😂 Although after saying that I feel the need to drop a little donation to the site now... Never good when humor backfires.... Anyways great to see you around.... I'm curious what your next 5 - 10 year reading endeavor is going to be. Hope you are doing well sir!

Hey Ryan, I would say I'm most looking forward to Tarzan, Frankenstein and The Time Machine... I also want to read The War of the Worlds, Treasure Island and Huckleberry Finn. Might as well thro in Moby Dick as well. I grabbed The Great Gatsby but not sure how excited I am to read that one.
@RyanReadsGreek2 ай бұрын
I recently read Frankenstein but not mastering the art of the review, I opted to not post a video about it as I felt I would either be too vague or give away too much. I might buddy read Moby Dick with you when you get to that one, I started reading it once and was captivated by Melville's prose. I would honestly rate The Great Gatsby ahead of Frankenstein as more well-executed and moving, though it is less remarkably original.

I'm glad to see a Christian writer on your tbr. I wondered if there were any left, especially with today's heavily politicized literature (and those publishers at this same fault). We need a bit more soul in our books and less liberal and conservative barking.
@FacelessBookReviews2 ай бұрын
I'll give a big Amen to that. I can't wait to read her books. Knowing her I have a feeling there will be some strong Christian theology in there somewhere. As far as liberal and conservative go clearly I lean one way but what a great way to divide us and keep us focused on everything but what matters. I will say the 2020 elections did a great job of making me realize I need to stop putting my faith in man and focus more on Jesus. Anyway let me step down from my soapbox and say thank you for watching and leaving a comment. It's greatly appreciated.
