The Mid-Year Book Freakout Tag for 2024
I loved the first 75 percent of Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. The last quarter dragged for me. But it is worth your time.
Listening to an audio book while I put together a jigsaw puzzle is one of my favorite things! I just finished the audio book of Tom Lake read by Meryl Streep. Meryl was so good!
hopefully cooking class lady never finds your channel 😂
I’m new here and really love your authenticity, honesty and passion. I’m excited about a never ending TBR list. I also like how your values come through. My favorite independent bookstore is Politics & Prose here in Washington, D.C.
Sebastian Barry should IMO be on the list - my personal favourite of his books being Old God's Time. Brilliant stuff. Happy reading and thanks for putting this list together.
*Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire* - nothing else comes close
Chauncey! My favorite literary character after Owen Meany. Looking forward to reading the new book. Just finished This is Happiness and loved it so much. So much heart in this book, so much humanity. The language is like nothing I've read before. I wanted to underline every sentence. So so beautiful!
Do I need to read House in the Cerulean Sea before I read somewhere Beyond the Sea?
Definitely read The House in the Cerulean Sea. It is beautiful.
Lovely to see you both x
I am in dismay that you aren't loving Bell Canto. On some other thread I highly recommended it. I loved it. Hostage? I don't remember feeling that! (I have not read Run. Nor Tom Lake.)
I LOVED Orbital!!!
I enjoyed Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow. My book club picked it and although none of us are fans of video games (Minnesota ladies in our 50s and 60s) we all loved the book! Just goes to show that grabbing books out of our usual reads is a great idea!!! Btw, do you have a patreon account??
I just recently found your channel and have already added so many books to my tbr because of you :) Was so excited to see you’d picked up Pachinko as it’s an all-time favorite of mine. I hope you love it! And Min Jin Lee had Gilead on her NYTimes ballot for the recent “Best Books of the 21st century” feature
Jacket off so it’s not damaged
Love your channel, Greg, but I'm not sure many if any of these titles will make it, even Demon Copperhead by the wonderful Barbara Kingsolver whose Poisonwood Bible could already be on its way to being a modern classic. I think Milkman is the best bet because it tackles thorny issues in an innovative way. I think that a novel that lasts hits a nerve that extends far beyond the immediate. It may be that a novel of substance is a more difficult or challenging read and therefore not immediately highly popular. The book I take most exception to is Hamnet, because while some people love the story (I didn't) the quality of the writing just doesn't cut it for a work of literature and I can't think of any work now in the canon that is so lacking in technique. Likewise I think that because it is exploitative, openly manipulative and lacking in psychological insight, A Little Life may eventually lose the prestige it now holds.
I was lost when the maid is there with her at the end. When did we know her maid followed her? I was lost.
What software did you use to rank the books? Thanks!
Montana 1948 is an excellent book!
I started it right after filming this and I really liked it. I just got a copy of Justice, which is a story collection by the same author that involved the family at the center of Montana 1948.
Maybe you already do/did this, but a "takes place around Christmas" reading recommendation video could be fun!
I like that!! 🎄🎅🏻
Ok, wow, never expected to see Greg read a graphic novel! I haven’t read Mooncakes, I’ll have to check it out. If you like warm hugs, you should try ‘Heartstopper’. It makes me so warm and fuzzy inside. 💕 And Joel should totally put a link to the recipe for what he was baking ‘down below’! I don’t even know how to spell it to look it up. 🤨 😋
Yessss Inland Island month by month ( I will get hype every time he mentions it ) 📕🪱💚
Loved The Heart's Invisible Furies- was probably my favorite book the year I read it - so I was disappointed ( but also weakkkk 😂 at your banter ) when I watched your Friday reads video , but I’m glad to know what’s up ….. sometimes the art and the artist I can separate, sometimes i cannot - glad I read the book BEFORE bc I don’t know if i could have separated. Blahdiggityblah 📕🪱💚
😂 the older shirt bit . I adore y’all and really appreciate what you said about parenting 📕🪱💚
Happy reading and baking! Love it!
These wrap ups are always fun and full of great recommendations. I'm planning to read The History of Sound this month. Hot Mall Santa wins best title of the video by a mile!😀
Tomorrow x 3 is SO GOOD. Do it!
I’ll give it a try!
The lights sounds so cool! You can just pick the color and leave the lights up all year? I just ordered "The Pairing" because my daughters enjoyed the authors other books and figured we could all read it! Great episode!
It’s coming up next for me
Another vote for Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow…I loved it.
I’ll give it a try!
Just what I needed today! Thank you! As delightful as ever. Steamy windows! 😮💨🤣💜 I stopped in at my local indie today and picked up the new Attica Locke. It’s the third and last book in the Darren Mathews Highway 59 series. Really looking forward to it. The two previous books were excellent! Starting tonight! I’m also listening to a crime novel at night, a take on Strangers on a Train. So far, so good! I read 9 books in August. Nightwatching by Tracey Sierra was my absolute favorite (even over The History of Sound). I need a good scare. Very highly recommended. My least favorite was definitely The God of the Woods, a book in desperate need of editing. Way too long for what it was. Lots of people loved it, but I kind of knew going in that the length would kill it for me.
I haven't read an Attica Locke. Maybe at some point I should. I do have Strangers On a Train on my TBR somewhere! Thanks for the recommendations and feedback.
@@SupposedlyFun I haven’t read Highsmith’s book Strangers on a Train, but I adore the Hitchcock film of it. If you haven’t watched it, it’s definitely worth it!
Vote Blue. Women standing up for women.
👏 👏 👏
I'm very late to this party this time! 🙃 Greg, you could talk to me about The Safekeep if you like. And, Joel, you definitely have to re-watch Brokeback Mountain. That movie destroyed me completely! I also love Close Range, it's a fantastic short story collection (with a lot if very unlikable characters on it)! I only just read it a couple of months ago. And, OMG, I adore Olivia Colman too!
Hey you three! Still 13 weeks for Cerulean Sea but only 2 for This Is Happiness. Juggling times on Libby. I have a hard time getting into audiobooks, maybe because I’m so addicted to reading! Any suggestions for really good absorbing audios, as I have a trip coming up.
It might be helpful to start with a book you already like--there are a lot of productions of classic books, for example. If you like To Kill a Mockingbird, Sissy Spacek does a great reading of that book. I've heard the audio of Charlotte's Web is great, too. The first audiobooks I listened to were mysteries (believe it or not, given how little I read mysteries anymore), and then I transitioned to nonfiction. I had actually started with podcasts, which made it helpful for me to get into the format of listening. Not sure if that's helpful, but that's how I got started.
@@SupposedlyFun I do listen to podcasts.
Juggling Libby is a full time job!
@@joelmcclanahan9004 I’m so grateful that it exists although I miss “real” books!
Love the blue lights idea!
Us too!
I had to go below and check to see if that was Hot Maul Santa or Hot Mall Santa. I was imagining a bearish Santa being mauled by twinkish elves.
That would be two different books. hahahaha
😂 😂
@@joelmcclanahan9004 The sequel!
Did you see that Nick & Megan show up in the current (and last) season of the Umbrella Academy as the villains. They are obviously having a great time playing a devious couple.
I love seeing them together. It was always fun when she guest starred as his ex-wife on Parks & Rec.
Best books of August The Coast Road by Alan Murrin The Alternatives by Caoilinn Hughes Wild Houses by Colin Barrett My Friends by Hisham Matar I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Hapman The In Between by Christos Tsiolkas Amy & Isabelle by Elizabeth Strout
Solid list!
90 degrees!! The warmest it got here all summer was 20 degrees and it rained constantly. Yesterday was the first morning I felt cold.
Wow, that's quite a difference!
Did I see Joel blush when Greg mentioned steaming up the car windows???? As I play catch up with my reading I will definitely have to grab The House in the Cerulean Sea of my bookshelf soon. I am trying to "read my shelves" so I have Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Gabrielle Zevin: The Inland Island, Josephine Johnson, Bel Canto, Ann Patchett, This Is Happiness, Niall Williams and The Country Girls, Edna O’Brien to keep me busy. I have been packing up my books as I am going to be painting my livingroom where most of my books live. Oh my Greg, I wonder how you did it when you redid your library. I bought some new shelving units and thb I am overwhelmed!!! Any advice is welcomed! Good to see you both and of course it is great to see Teddy along for most of the video. Joel I am going to try and bake some Scali bread which is a popular Italian style bread (Scali family) in the Boston area. I hope it comes out good! You inspire me to keep baking now that I am retired. Be well and will see you on the next video.
Yes, I saw Joel blush, too. Yet this is the guy who read "Hot Mall Santa."😂
@@MJ-in-Canada 🫠🤭🔥🧡
I actually find it exciting and fun to redo my bookshelves periodically, so it doesn't bother me to do that. I don't know how I would feel about that combined with painting, though. 😂 You have some great books to choose from, though! Not sure if that makes you feel better, but it's something!
I love Bread. Let me know how it turns out. I "MAY" have blushed.
Hi Greg and Joel I have had a great month. Read 15. Best were How to Build a Boat, The Bee Sting and Clear. I think I will ask for The Country Girls I think for Christmas. I’m on a self imposed book buying ban now until the New Year. It probably won’t last but I need to get my TBR down. I am taking Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow with me on holiday next week.
You got some good reading done! I hope you get Country Girls for Christmas, and I hope you have a great holiday.
Hi, you guys (all three of you,) love your channel. I hope you read my message about 3 videos ago. I explained in full the book I am recommending to both of you. It was the 40 minute video of yours and I typed with all capital letters. The book I am recommending is The Memory Of Running. By Ron Mclarty. It will give you joy. GREAT character studies and a story that will stay with you. I wrote in full in your other video about it. I really enjoy your channel and I love the blending of you guys different personalities❤. Please at least check the book out. One or both of you guys will not be sorry.🙂
that looks good. I'll check it out
I'm behind on comments again, so I haven't seen that comment yet--sorry! I remember the title of that book. I think it used to be featured on Borders' BOGO table, but I haven't read it. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@joelmcclanahan9004.8😮
Skateboarding, surfing, breakdancing. Will book-tossing be the next Olympic sport? 😁
Or I was thinking a basketball net attached to a trash can.
@@marciajohansson769 That would work but let's dream big.😆
@@MJ-in-Canada haha 😂🏆🥇
@@MJ-in-Canada Yes, instead of book banning the event would be book panning
@@marciajohansson769 I give points to Joel for distance but he’s lacking in enthusiasm. Greg is leading in that category.

Credit to Teddy for hanging in there as long as he did!🥰
I love hearing about ALL the book prizes!
That makes me happy because I love book prizes!
Love you guys and your dual book 📕 recommendations
I'm so glad to hear it! Thanks.
You had a great month overall besides the book throwing! 😅😂 I DNFed Tomorrow and Tomorrow… I couldn’t get into the gaming part. At 51, I thought I wasn’t in the targeted audience. 🤷🏻♀️
I'm feeling like I will have the same reaction to the gaming aspects of the book. We'll see!
I’m currently rereading The House of the Cerulean Sea in anticipation of Somewhere Beyond the Sea. Such a wonderful book. I’m going to pick up The Lumberjack Under the Tree based on Joel’s suggestion. He hasn’t steered me wrong yet on the M/M romance genre. 😊 Welcome to the book throwing club Joel!
I did wish I had reread House in the Cerulean Sea first. I hope you like Somewhere Beyond the Sea! Lumberjack Under the Tree does sound fun.
It was my first throw, although I should have thrown The Guide by Peter Heller (I hated it). Also, a holiday M/M is The Lights on Knockbride Lane by Roan Parrish. It got 3.5 stars when I only gave 3.
I enjoyed hearing your thoughts and reflections. You have definitely built a great channel!
Thank you! You too!
It is so nice to be feeling hopeful this election season! ❤
It is! What a relief. I just hope it all ends well.
A channel to be proud of definitely. Love your authentic and thoughtful content. Happy Reading
Thank you so much.
This is the first of your videos I have ever watched. I have subscribed because I like your ethics. As for repeating things, if they are important for people to know then you should repeat. Not only for those who are regular subscribers that might have missed it but for those who are new to your channel. Occasional videos like this would be helpful in keeping us up to date on how you feel about things.
Thank you! That's a good idea.
