That first shot put an instant smile on my face, loved the scenery and loved the llama's walking through it even more haha. I've been thinking to read this book since you recommended it, so will come back for the spoiler part of the book later 😅 aand big fan of subtle little details and easter eggs in any form of media!!
I haven't read any Sanderson yet. I've got some of his books, but they're a bit daunting due to the length. I'll probably get around to them sometime. My main reaction is to another book completely. I'm almost done with the Family Fang. And when I finish, I'll probably just put my comments in that actual video. But, wow! I'm not done, but I must say that I can't see the ending could make me totally change my mind on the book, whatever it may be. I honestly don't know how this book isn't more widely known! I know it's got awards, but I had never even heard of Kevin Wilson before! I'm glad you recommended this one. In a strange way, at this point in my life, it's been having kind of a profound effect on me. I don't want to waste hours telling my backstory on a post that has nothing to do with the book. But it's been making me think a lot. And in a good way. I've felt out to sea for a while now and this book has made me take a look at myself and maybe realize that I'm not as far out as I thought. Good stuff! I'll say more when I finish, but this has been a great experience! Maybe the wait was good because it might not have hit as hard if I had read it when I was prepared to. Have an awesome day!
Tress is a good baby-Sanderson book! Also The Rithmatist, which is more middle grade! So highly recommend those two. I'm so glad you liked it! I can't wait to hear more about your thoughts on it. And RIGHT?! He's so underrated, and his books ask you to ponder a lot of interesting questions about the meaning of life and art. YOU have an aweseom day Johno!
NO TO BELLATRIX?????? i'd just impress her by getting rid of the dark lord, she'll get used to being a couple with me whether she likes it or not SNFJNJKDBGJDBGK also, re: kill bill, my god, LUCY LIU!!! AND THAT ONE INSANE GOGO CHICK
This was a really interesting video! I agree with you about Jim/Pam and Tress/Charlie. They don’t seem like the type of couples that would be into an ENM type of relationship lol.
Off topic, but I FINALLY got a copy of the Family Fang. I'm going to finish reading this Anne Rice book, Taltos, since I'm so close to being done, and then I'm going to start it.
@@my0.25lifecrisis I've been reading the Family Fang. I'm about 3/4 of the way through it. So far, I've really enjoyed it! Waiting to share my thoughts until I'm completely finished. But I'm actually digging the parents. Back in the day, I used to love doing bizarre things in public just to see people's reaction. My ex-wife and I would wait in empty grocery store aisles for people to turn into them and she would pretend to punch me and I would go flying into something. Their looks were usually priceless.
It’s ok Kelly. And in any case, the bigger issue is her ✨TRAUMA✨ 😅 I’m glad you liked how much thought I put into it! I have to be strategic-my life is at stake 😂💀
My favorite psychotic female in fiction would have to be Alice from Batwoman. I don't want to give spoilers if you haven't seen it, but her story arc is worth watching the show for. She comes across as a force of chaos, but there's a purpose there. But if she's going to kill you, she'll have fun doing it. One of those people that has a need to be understood. But if you understand them and wrong them, they'll definitely kill you. Still waiting on the Family Fang. Got it off of Paperbackswap and the person claims it's lost in the mail. If it's not here by tomorrow, the system will move the next person in line that has it up. Mail is just insane for getting lost in my area this year. Have to thank the insane Postmaster General who has decided that every state should have a "hub" where all mail goes. Funny how when things just got sent to the location, the postal clerks would figure it out and it would get there. Now things get lost or slow to a crawl at the hubs. Don't get me started... Have a great day!
oooh I'll have to check her out! I love a murderous woman with depth. Hahaha "if she's going to kill you, she'll have fun doing it" -- see that's what we're trying to avoid! xD The Family Fang saga is quite the adventure! I'm glad it's on its way though!
@@my0.25lifecrisis Yeah,a different copy is now making it's way to me. Hopefully this one doesn't end up lost in the mail. I suspect something was fishy with the last one. Maybe it will come this week. I actually have time to read with work being slow.
lol it says "I have cool tattoos under here, I'm just cold." (or something like that). It's kinda a lie b/c I only have 1 cool tattoo though and not multiple.
Cool video, Jay! By the way, I haven't noped out of reading The Family Fang. I ordered the book and it's STILL not shown up! The mail sucks right now in the U.S. The person that mailed it is literally about two hours away and it's been two weeks. I messaged them and hopefully I'll find out if there is a problem. But I'm going to read it when I get it! Have an awesome day!
Wow this is one of the most creative versions of this tag. Thx so much for doing our original tag. We love being internet friends with you. It’s so great to go on your journeys with you and learn about the world. Thank you !
I would like “big John Green energy” on the tombstone please. 🥰🥰 I loved this, you remain the coolest and I will have to do this as the intro to my Oregon life!
I love it when you give me these filming challenges! Really fun to see what your life in Peru looks like. I can sooo relate to documenting as much as I can of every day life while the days of living abroad might be coming to an end. I'm sure it will be so precious to read when you look back in years time! Excited to do this tag and give a little tour of Prishtina :)
Nothing To See Here by the same author was my favorite book of the year! I'm definitely going to read this too, don't remember seeing it on goodreads. I find it really cool that he comes up with these absurd scenarios and manages to make them feel "normal" and to make ppl involved feel accepted and loved for the way they are. I wish we treated differences the same way irl.
Ah! So you understand me! I'm so glad you liked Nothing To See Here -- that's definitely the one book I've heard the most ppl talk about. I think you're going to love the absurdity of The Family Fang, at least I hope so! Please give me an update when you read it :D
@@my0.25lifecrisis not quite last words, but last kerfuffle. You would have truly "given your all", including your life, to this channel, which is quite a lot to give to a free platform LOL.
@@my0.25lifecrisis Don't be nervous. I'm sure I'll find it interesting. And I'll read it as soon as it comes in. I love the Anne Rice books I've been reading, but I could use a break in the middle of the Mayfair Witches series.
Well, after writing a long, drawn out history of why this book was so powerful to me and then have RU-vid crash right when I posted it, I'm going to take that as some sign from the universe not to overshare. Or that RU-vid needs to do some work on all of their unstable web pages that constantly crash due to too many ads, etc. Anyway... I'll just hit the high spots. I come from a family of musicians and I was really pushed into singing at a young age and when the chance arose, I just quit. It seemed like everyone was making my choices in life for me, so I chose the best way to take agency in my life was to just choose to do nothing. But at some point, one has to leave the past behind and move forward. Also, the ending really drew me in. This reminded me a lot of my father. At times, I felt I probably vilified him too much in my head. I thought that maybe I exaggerated to myself how much more time he spent with his music than his family. But I look back, and I realize that, while he did love us, the music truly was the first thing in his life. He's passed now. But he's been on my mind a lot lately. But I think reading this might have finally made me take a close look back and see that good people can get caught up in a facet of their life that leaves the ones they love out of it. Not my fault and I can move on. I said it probably more eloquently the first time, but I got it down now. Going to save to make sure RU-vid doesn't crash again... Oh, and before I go, let me say I actually LOVED the book! It's written in a manner that it gets you from the word go and keeps you intrigued throughout. The first half where you just see the bizarre goings-on of the characters is fun. And once you know them, the last half is must-read. I felt just as confused as the characters. I would go from one possibility to the next in my mine and they all seemed equally plausible. It's funny, tragic, weird...Would probably make a really great movie if you could get a director who could stick to the script. But it's fine as a book. I was taking my time, taking it all in, reading a chapter or two a day. But at the end, I had to tear through and see what the heck was happening! It's a great read that is really easy to get into. And what seems weird at the first will seem normal by the end. Thank you SO much for the recommendation! It was nice to get an awesome read and even more nice to maybe get some closure in part of my life that I definitely need to move on from! As someone once said, don't lose your future living in your past.
Great video, Jay! It's been years since I've seen a Jenny Nicholson video. I was beginning to wonder if she was still alive! Have an awesome day! I hope you've been doing well!
Haha! I'm so glad you're back and it was so nice to see your video on my feed! 🥰 I can totally relate to being busy with life! *lol* Also, I had to laugh so much when you came to the realisation that you DO have hobbies. 🤣
i guess having the murderous woman type is genetic 😭😭😭 i'm so in love with ruby lane from the fear street series, and i NEEEED a spin-off of her. JESUS. also, you NEEEEED to read maeve fly, jay!!! maeve is top-tier murderous hot!!! now i'm bumping up house of hunger on my tbr.
oooh I'll have to check those out! lol and yes, plz tell me how you like House of Hunger -- I remember seeing it on your TBR! lol we could go on double dates w/ our murderous girlfriends ... you know, before they inevitably kill is xD
I won't lie..I like fictional murderous ladies. Mainly just because they can take care of themselves for the most part. Badass women are just kind of attractive in general. At any rate...Great video, Jay! Have an awesome day!
