Great answers. East of Eden is one of my favorite novels, too. You had no problem adding the book covers to the video.

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thanks, Jim! Yes, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be!

@ariannefowler455 Год назад

I loved this tag! In the Heart of the Sea is one I'm going to get to this Summer. Spineless sounds fascinating so I will be adding that to my list.

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thanks, Arianne! I hope that you love both of them. Spineless was such a crazy read, everything about jellyfish is just so other worldly!

Really nice tag! I think you made some great choices. I read East Of Eden a long time ago and loved it. It's probably time for a re-visit. Spineless sounds so good. Jellyfish are truly amazing.

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thanks, Laverne! I am thinking of reading East of Eden again later this month perhaps.

This IS a unique tag - fun! I have In the Heart of the Sea on my shelves, and I still haven't gotten to it - hopefully for Nonfiction November this year! I haven't read Moby Dick yet. Heart of a Dog sounds interesting. Funny that several of your choices relate to the oceans! Fun tag - I might do this one, too :)

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thanks, Sue! I would love to watch your version if you decide to do it! It's a really fun/thought provoking tag to do. :)

@krzysamm7095 Год назад

Off topic in a way but I had to chuckle as the ad right under you on my feed is for Open Water. I read the book about the Essex and it was a really good read for me. It made Moby Dick come alive in a way that I don’t think it would have if I had not read it. Glad you survived your visit with Steve 😅

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thanks! In the Heart of the Sea really helped to bring Moby Dick alive for me as well!

@franklinrobinson Год назад

I'm always ready to check out a Nathaniel Philbrick book. I've read most of them. First rate writer and historian.

@MicahCummins Год назад

Completely agree with you, Franklin! He is a favorite of mine as well.

@BookTimeWithRyan Год назад

Thanks for doing the tag!

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thank you for creating it, Ryan! I loved the themes you went with.

@ChloeTheePayne Год назад

great video, and i can so totally relate to those moments of "oh geez i'm gonna try to learn how to do a video editing thing i hope this goes okay...!" 😅 well done!

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thank you, Chloe! I'm glad to know that I am not the only one who has those moments! :)

@JessBookgirlTV Год назад

Good job with this tag.

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thanks, Jess! 🙂

@bighardbooks770 Год назад

Good one, Micah ... Im behind in my tags, too (And? And, Ive never read _Moby Dick_ )! 😂🎉😮

@MicahCummins Год назад

It can be so easy to get behind with them! I hadn’t read it until this year, I would highly recommend it, absolutely fantastic!

@bighardbooks770 Год назад

@@MicahCummins What edition should I keep an eye out for? 🤔

@Tanya-vx4pc Год назад

My most thought-provoking story was The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas. Really made me think about ethics and the value of human life especially with relation to the trolley problem.

@MicahCummins Год назад

Oh, that is a fantastic short story! I completely agree, it really made me think as well.

@KellyannMitchell Год назад

Heart of a Dog was indeed a very thought-provoking book. When I read it, I thought about it for days, no, weeks afterwards. East of Eden is in my summer lineup of books I want to read. I hope it resonates with me also and becomes one of those books that I go back to continually. Love hearing your answers to this tag.

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thanks, Kelly! I am so excited for you to read "East of Eden"! I really hope that it becomes a regular re-read for you as well! I adore it.

@DebMcDonald Год назад

I remember going to a special jellyfish exhibition at my local aquarium and being in awe of how they could even be alive. They just look so beautiful and strange! I will definitely look for Spineless. Would you consider making a video of your favourite sea books? That would include natural history, naval history or biography, and novels.

@MicahCummins Год назад

Aren't they just simply magical, Deborah? I would definitely consider making a video for that! Thank you for the idea!

@MichaelRomeoTalksBooks Год назад

She did win BGT and went on to have a brief recording career. Unfortunately she had a major stroke that brought her growing career to an end.

@MicahCummins Год назад

I didn't know that, that is awful. I hope she can recover well.

@MichaelRomeoTalksBooks Год назад

@@MicahCummins i have no idea how this comment ended up on this post. I was commenting on a post about Susan Boyle. RU-vid had a major hiccup.

@MicahCummins Год назад

That’s okay, Michael! I figured that this was about her. RU-vid does some crazy stuff sometimes!

@khuft01 Год назад

Great video! Re The Luminaries: I felt that the author was too caught up in her structuring, the halving of the length of each chapter and making sure her astrological charts worked out. But that made it too mechanical, too perfect, and not emotionally engaging enough for me. It was good, but maybe too clever for its own good.

@MicahCummins Год назад

Thank you! That is a wonderful way to put it. I agree with you that the emotional aspects of the novel seemed stripped away, it really seemed to clever for its own good to me as well.
