I PUNCHED VOLDEMORT!!! (Epic Reads Tag!)

In which I punch the Dark Lord, meet Stephen King, and tell you about THE MOST EPIC BOOKS EVER!

Find me elsewhere:

Merchandise (including posters about books and "Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost"):

MY BOOK:
THE END GAMES is a Young Adult thriller about two brothers -- ages 17 and 5 -- surviving a monster-filled apocalypse in West Virginia. John Green called it "brilliant, fun, and blisteringly intelligent fiction." You can find it now at these online booksellers:

I also make HOW TO ADULT videos with Elmify and the Vlogbrothers:

This was one of the funniest Epic Read Tag Videos I have watched!

[NathanTalbott]

dat book-shimmy tho !
also, yessss the Berenstain Bears- I learned so much about how to navigate young cubhood from them

[EpicReads]

The Stephen King portrayal was SPOT.ON.

[TylerMayMedia]

I'm just now getting to videos on my watch later list. I very much enjoyed this haha! Your acting and deadpans get me every time. Great video Mike!

[MattPalka]

This was great! I love your vlogging style. Such a great tag. 2:26 what do you...what do you..what DO....haha. I wonder NerdyAndQuirky 's book shimmy looks like.

*lives in own novel's dystopian world*

[LaurenTheBrent]

Is that book shimmy how you got your wife to agree to marry you? lol This video was AWESOME, Mike! I laughed too much! Also, way jealous of your R.L. Stine autograph... I love him... and have apparently loved him longer than I was aware??? Craziness. 

[amilliahh]

Fantastic video!! I laughed a lot, it was clever and I went "YES" to all your answers, they were perfect aha. 😁😂 I love this so much

Although, wouldn't there be drama in Voldemort's and the Grim Reaper's relationship? Like,

Voldemort: You're never around anymore. I feel like you don't care enough to help me destroy the world.
Reaper: I have work all the time..
Voldemort: You always say that but you must have some breaks or vacations.
Reaper: I would iF YOU QUIT KILLING EVERYONE IN YOUR PATH.

[ReadingAce]

Hahaha Mike you make the best videos! This was so awesome! Great answers btw! :)

On behalf of the Harry Potter fandom, thank you for that knuckle sandwich. And the bookshelf on fire question is fascinating! I'd save my signed City of Heavenly Fire, because I took my friend to her first book signing for it!

[FantashticIdeas]

Are you doing a goodreads Reading challenge for this year? If so, how many books do you hope to read by the end of the year?

[brwneyedgirlx]

YOU'RE PSYCHIC!  Sorry, they just announced Harper Lee's "prequel" to To Kill A Mockingbird today. I'm so impressed.

[thatmaia]

You must have had a lot of fun shooting this one. :D

Also, can I join you for butterbeer with Jo? But only after a quick knuckle sandwich with Voldemort.

[vampirica]

I'd have to have Dumbledore over because of how incredibly wise he is and I'd serve him and JK Rowling sherbet lemons and chocolate frogs, but definitely not butterbeer because that just tastes terrible! Also she's been my favourite author for over half of my life and if I ever met her I'd start simultaneously crying and laughing and probably wouldn't be able to say anything coherent for a long while.

[ReadHeadPat]

Hmm what single book could i possibly save from a fire...I might save Full Tilt by Neal Shusterman because I love it so much and i have it signed. But i also have other signed books...okay so a better plan: i will have all my signed books on a fireproof bookshelf and all of my expendable ones on another bookshelf. Yeah then i wouldn't have to choose XD

[ElliottGeorgeEdwards]

"Voldemort, and the Grim Reaper. So then Voldemort would be killed..."
waitwaitwait. your idea of a "good couple" is one obliterating the other? Before your next book I feel we need to have a discussion about your definition of love. Otherwise things could get messy... ;)
