OMG Tilt! Definitely annoying!!
This was fantastic Corinne. Loved hearing the librarian perspective.

[@CorinneHSmith]

Thanks for the inspiration and kind comments, Gina! "Tilt" is a real book! I think I'll have to read it now.

[@booksimnotreading]

That Tilt book is crazy! Why do publishers try to make things difficult for readers? The Little Free Libraries - yes! If it’s water-damaged or falling apart - they need to be trashed. I love John McPhee! Thank you so much for doing this tag. 💛

[@CorinneHSmith]

Thanks for the inspiration, Kelly! I'm actually taking the time now to READ "Tilt," since I borrowed from our library system. It's quite interesting. But difficult to hold and turn the pages ...

Great delivery, Corinne! You are a natural!

[@CorinneHSmith]

Aw, shucks. Thanks!

[@boxborolad]

Good "old" Corinne. Always full of stimulating opinions! 😎

[@CorinneHSmith]

Thanks, Alan. Sometimes things just HAVE to be said.

Loved this!!!

[@CorinneHSmith]

Thanks a bunch, Elise. Sometimes, things just need to be SAID.

[@edwilliamson2171]

You made some great points! Well done!

[@CorinneHSmith]

Thanks, Ed! Some stuff just needs to be said.

Quite a number of folks who made other "Annoyed" videos noted that they didn't like award stickers on book covers. Ironically, around this same time, Publishers Weekly ran a story about how thoughtful publishers are, when choosing exactly WHERE to put stickers on covers. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-industry-news/article/94171-where-should-the-caldecott-sticker-go.html

I just found your channel because of this tag video...loved your answers...lol...your response to Tilt was 💯! Just subscribed to your channel 🫶🏽✨

[@CorinneHSmith]

Thanks for your kind comments! Keep on reading!

I agree with Louise Penny storyline that annoys you - it was disappointing and I dreaded it every time it came up 🤦‍♀️

[@CorinneHSmith]

Thanks for sharing. Still, I keep reminding myself that this stuff happens in real life. And who knows what new challenges Armand and his crew will face in the next episode?

[@chrisdrago9556]

Will you be posting a video about Louise Penny’s next book in her series , “ The Grey Wolf”? Your thoughts - anticipation ? I can’t believe I’ve read them all and in order thanks to your earlier videos on Louise Penny.

[@CorinneHSmith]

Thanks for asking, Chris. I plan to post a reminder and preparation video in early August 2024. "The Grey Wolf" will be released on Tuesday, October 29th. By early August, we'll have less than three months to re-read our ways up to it.

[@abiwk04]

Wow, do you need to chill 😂

[@CorinneHSmith]

Nah, I got it all out.
