OK, so I have a couple of thoughts..(surprise!)🙂. First, it always makes me smile for you to think of posting a tag on a "non-Tuesday" as being a wildman! But keep doing it, because it is nice to have a tag "surprise" now & then. Sometimes on Tuesday I will have 8-10 tags stacked in my notifications & I "pass" on a few because of overkill! Secondly, your answer to prompt 10 was spot on! Thirdly, I wonder how you "shift gears" so rapidly between big non-fiction books. After being immersed in a subject for several days, I would need to read short stories or fiction to "clear the palate"' but you seem to zip right on through to another! Finally, congrats on the approaching booktube milestone...hang onto this booktube gig for a few more years & then someday I do believe you could run for president! 😉 Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Massive congratulations on 1K subscribers! 🥳👏🏻

Fast approaching 1000 subscribers... fiction also allows you to walk in other people's shoes even if they are not real. I'm reading a fantasy book at the moment (Peace and Turmoil) which has a character called Queen Victoria, which seems a little bizarre. Do you have a favorite president? (or least favorite president?). The closest I got to a presidential biography was "Becoming" Michelle Obama's autobiography, which didn't interest me a lot (it was the choice of a book club I was in).

Yes! I will never understand why non-fiction doesn't get more attention and love. I'm like you 90%+ non-fiction.

I am also reading a presidential biography for each president. I am reading them in chronological order and am currently on Teddy Roosevelt.

Yay, I'm glad you know Olive's channel! I've been meaning to recommend her to you. She's great.

Thank you so much for your kind words Micah. Sorry it took me so long to watch the video. Great answers to the tag. I am pretty sure I did this one a while back. I will have to go and check. If I haven't, I will. Thanks for your thoughts. It is always good to hear about other nonfiction fans. I totally agree with your answers. Nonfiction is every bit as good as fiction. There are a lot of good writers out there and I wish they got more press coverage for their work. Thanks again. Have a great week. Happy Nonfiction November!

You're almost at 1000 subscribers! What happens when you reach it? You mercilessly destroy us all?

I recently picked up a Thomas Jefferson bio. I should read that soon.

I'm also working on reading a nonfiction book for all the American Presidents. I've read about twenty six books, but only about 13 presidents since some presidents get multiple books (Nixon, LBJ, TR, Lincoln).

I don't read as much nonfiction as I'd want. They are actually quite overwhelming for me if I read a lot in a month of reading.

Wow your sound is great. Can you tell me what microphone you’re using?
