    I love you're making videos again. Short, sporadic, we don't care. Take care of yourself, but I love your videos :)

  • @a1rabbit780

    A new video from you is always a treat. I know making CZcams videos for all those years you've seen it all so you probably look at it so much different than when you started, and it sounds like the magic's gone for you, which makes me sad, but I want you to be happy, even if it means only one video every six months or even never, I'm willing to make that sacrifice for your happiness. I don't make videos for CZcams because I never could but I love watching my favorite people, and I appreciate all the hard work you put into making all 18,000 of us happy.

    Great idea! I love unwrapping presents and you get the surprise of what your next read is. And Zeus is still adorable.

    It's a great idea but only if someone else would wrap it for me. I'm afraid I would remember most of the books by their size, wheight and what wrapping paper I chose.

    • @avendesora2495
      @avendesora2495 Před 5 lety +1

      Maybe wrapping them all in the same paper would help a bit?

    seeing this second recent video from you and Zeus really put a big smile on my face! So glad you are back, don't care what your videos are about - books, snacks, whatever....I love them all. And what a great idea for a next read! I may try this if I ever get my TBR pile down to a manageable level, right now I probably have over a 100 books in it.

  • @jackiesliterarycorner
    @jackiesliterarycorner Před 5 lety

    That's cute that you have a secret compartment for books you may want to read next. I always like the idea of people wrapping their books, but i'm terrible at wrapping and would waste the paper. I do live with my parents, but they wouldn't want to take the time to help me, so though I like the idea, I'll probably never do it.

    Hi, Helene, hahaha- surprise for yourself! I’ve a box, where I’ve stapled all my birthday and Christmas books and without looking I grab into it...suddenly I felt a press to read all the books I’ve got to let people know how I found the books...but that’s not the meaning of reading for me. It’s one of my greatest joys and I love to be surprised. Maybe I’ll steal your idea, too...so, let’s celebrate the last wonderful summerdays with book presents, tea (or coffee😉)and cookies and a good book. Greetings from my outdoor hammock, Monika

    What a cool idea to choose gift-wrapped books! I did something like that once: I reached, without looking, into a box of unread books and I then read the book I pulled out. Just now I'm reading a biography from 1935 called "Hetty Green--The Witch of Wall Street" about America's first female business tycoon. She had phenomenal wealth in real estate and railroads and even loaned money to the City of New York but lived like a poor person. To think of all the books Hetty could have purchased...(sigh.)

    Cute idea!
    Do you plan to keep and re-use the paper once you unwrap the book? Just asking because all the paper you used is so pretty and your wrapping skills are immaculate. So it would make it easy to re-use the paper instead to throw it away....

    A wonderful idea. How about your subcribers just send you a random book every month and you decide which package to open to read. If you like the book you can have chocolate or some treat. If not then no chocolate for a week. It is always great to see your happy face.. Time you came to England for a book haul. Blackwells in Oxford. The Norrington room might just make you stop and go wow.
