I like watching this tag from different Booktubers, but yours was the best! You’re always fun to watch and I liked your dinner party guests. Good stuff! 📚📚

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

Awww, thanks! I had a good time making this video!

@BookChatWithPat8668 5 месяцев назад

Fun tag! I loved the way you sort of cradled the two volumes of the anthology as you were explaining why it’s really one book that you NEED to have with you as if you were anticipating someone trying to take them away from you! 😆 I enjoyed your answers!

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, Pat! Nobody's taking away my anthology!!!😄. I just used it to look up a couple of Dickinson poems even though I could just read them online.

@anenthusiasticreader 5 месяцев назад

I think it makes sense that when your audience is full of book lovers, it will be harder to find an obscure title. Love the answers to this tag.

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

True! But I did collect a couple of interesting titles in the comments.

@paulathereadingtabby2185 5 месяцев назад

Since we don't remotely have the same reading tastes, my obscure books are probably going to be even more obscure to you, but I always want more people to read: 1. Land of the Laughs by Jonathan Carroll 2. Things Invisible to See by Nancy Willard and 3. Little, Big by John Crowley. Great tag! Oh! And Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde which finally has a sequel!!

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

I haven't read any of these, but I have read a couple of other books by Jasper Fforde. Thanks for the suggestions; I'll check into them!

@RyanReadsGreek 4 месяца назад

I agree, if a book is multiple volumes it still counts as one book!

@readandre-read 4 месяца назад

Absolutely! Thank you for backing me up! 😄

@constancecampbell4610 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for the fun video on Monday morning. You reminded me of what may be the longest novel I have ever read. It was An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser. I read a hardback from my library and want to say it came in at around 900 pages. I thought it was fascinating. Thanks again! 🌻

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

Well thank goodness you enjoyed it with a 900 page investment! Did you have to renew it a few times? Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video!

@constancecampbell4610 5 месяцев назад

@@readandre-read I may have renewed. All I remember is being in its grip. The writing amped up in the final of the three sections. The narration grew breathless and so did I.

I'm cracking up over your dinner party plans, and I want to be there with the badass women! Thanks so much for taking up this tag, I had a lot of fun listening to your answers. :)

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! I'm a little worried about holding my own at that dinner party, lol. My adventures pale in comparison but I'd love to hear the conversation!

@deborajohnson5717 5 месяцев назад

I loved The Count of Monte Cristo! Great video! I also loved War and Peace

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, Debbie! I always hear good reviews of Count; I hope I can hear up to reading it soon.

My obscure book that I recommend at the time, and actually got a Booktuber to read (though I may be the only one who watched his video on it) is The Diary of Helena Morely. It is the actual diary of a young girl from the end of the 19th century about her growing up in a rural Brazilian mining town and basically records her everyday life. It was loving translated into English by Elizabeth Bishop over three years. The woman grew up to be a prominent woman in Brazilian society and Bishop actually met and knew her. Upon arriving in Brazil she asked everyone which Brazilian book she needed to read and this was the one everyone said she had to check out.

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

Thanks, Michael! I'm already scoping out some secondhand copies of this; it sounds wonderful.

@books_and_bocadillos 5 месяцев назад

So fun! I laughed out loud so much while watching this video...can I be a flower in a vase at the Badass Women's imaginary dinner party?

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

I want to also be a flower because I realize I have no stories to contribute to those women! I would fit in better with the book lovers party that I scrapped. Glad you enjoyed the video!

@awebofstories 5 месяцев назад

This was one that I had to put a lot of thought in as well. Thanks for doing the tag!

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

Good to see you back on BookTube, Melinda! I can't wait to hear about your "vacation."

@apoetreadstowrite Месяц назад

Love the poetry digression - wow. Must track that down.

I thoroughly support your decision not to read the books on your list of books you all never read, particularly Mailer

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

😄 Mailer is just taking up too much precious space on these shelves.

@poetrycrone6061 5 месяцев назад

I enjoyed your answers to this tag. An "obscure" book of fiction for you and others: The Light People by Gordon Henry (a Native American author). For "obscure" poetry: anything by Pattiann Rogers or Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities (prose poetry).

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! I haven't read any of these so I'll be on the lookout for them.

@bornagainreader 5 месяцев назад

Loving the books you're currently reading! Hopefully if you do pick up Bleak House again, you'll remember at least the main points to avoid having reread! 406 pages in! Wow! 11:08 - 🤣 And once you get tired of those books on a deserted island, you can clearly wear them.

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

I could make some clothes or build a hut, lol! Yes, Bleak House is a particularly annoying bail since I got so far. It sits there reproaching me.

@EveningReader 5 месяцев назад

Overthinking is a requirement for almost any tag video. Ha, one of my "obscure" recommendations just made the Atlantic's Great American Novels list, which is Machine Dreams by Jayne Anne Phillips. Even though it made that list, I imagine a lot of people were like, "Huh? What is this book? Where is To Kill a Mockingbird?" More recently, Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt, although it's one of those books everyone seemed to love at the time and then just disappeared. High five on Infinite Jest. "World War Two, blah dee blah dee blah." 😂

@readandre-read 5 месяцев назад

I actually did read Machine Dreams, back in the 80s. I don't remember much. It was for a class in contemporary Am Lit and we were all blown away by Beloved. Every now and then I'm reminded of one of the other books from that class! My library has Mr. Splitfoot so I'll add that to my leaning tower of TBR! Thanks!
