Aaron, I recently discovered your channel. I enjoy listening to your calm, thoughtful take on books. I wish I had been as well read as you at your age. Keep the videos coming. I have almost watched all of your older videos and can say your channel is one of my favorites.
That's lovely! Thank you very much for that. I'll definitely try my best to keep the videos going!
Aaron Facer, I really liked this video! I subscribed too!
Thank you, that's very kind of you!
Good idea for a tag video. Some great books there in your choices.
Thank you!
I enjoyed hearing you talk about your responses to these prompts, Aaron. I also used Les Miserables, but, I think, for the bishop prompt. This was a fun tag.
Thank you, Pat! I was tempted to use Les Misérables for the same prompt, but thought I should try and so something a little different.
Thanks for doing the tag! Earthsea is a great choice and one of my favourite series, I just started Tehanu again today. I've been seeing Walpole pop up on booktube recently, I want to try him. Turbulent priest? Definite bonus points for an archbishop. and Henry II is my favourite monarch so I should read that. A few people chose Les Mis for bishop, so this is an interesting take, I think she is an even better character in the musical. I love The Little Prince, I recently gave my copy to my niece.
I know very little about Henry II -- and a lot of the English monarchs, really. It seems like we only concentrated on Henry VII when I was at school. Maybe that's a reading project for the future... I'm really keen to rewatch the musical now that I've read the book. Hugo definitely could have done a lot more with her character (and the same goes for Cosette, too!)
Very interesting answers! Your Les Mis cover is amazing! We love The Little Prince here. ♥️
Thank you, Amy 😊
Eponine as Queen... I like it!
Thank you, Anne! I had a bit of option paralysis for that round, but I'm pretty happy with the decision I made in the end.
Great choices Aaron. I liked the Little Prince as a child.
Thanks, James! The Little Prince is one of those book that I really wish I'd discovered as a child. But it was still a lot of fun reading it as an adult!
Love your responses to this. The Akutagawa story is an inspired choice 😊. And I completely agree about Eponine. Her character was magnificent. Great choices
Thanks, Debs! I was glad to see that you had been reading Akutagawa, as I hadn't seen him talked about that much on booktube. 😊
_First!_ Hey, Aaron 😅 I just tagged you in this Sunday 😮 My tele needs new strings: Ernie Ball Slinkys! 🎸
Sorry I missed that in the video, Allen. Just added you to the description 😊 My tele needs new string too, and I also use Slinkys!
