Hello from the Big D🤠, and thank you! I recently discovered your channel and am enjoying your wit and humor. And I, too, love High Fidelity! Thanks again...

[BookChatWithPat]

I’m so glad you did this tag. I love Natalie Goldberg too. I brought a lot of her ideas into my teaching of writing with kids. I’m a big fan of High Fidelity too. Loved your responses to this tag. 😊

I also really enjoyed the Hulu remake of High Fidelity with Zoe Kravitz as Rob. All of these answers form a subtle defense for your buying habits. That neighbor book haul story is so funny.

You're so funny! I love the way you ended the video. Anywho great tag. Browsing in bookstores is quite fun, but typically these days I'm looking for used copies of books I've heard about on booktube. You are right. Your stack behind you has changed since the last video because I do recall seeing Caste by Isabel Wilkerson on the pile. I listened to this book on audibles and was completely fascinated by this book. I found a used copy somewhere because I wanted it on my shelf. I do believe I have a copy of The, Warmth of other Sun's because I think I've bought every book I've ever thought I would be interested in reading in the hopes that I live to be about a thousand years old in order to read them all. 😂 It was a joy to find you had posted another video.

That’s quite the tongue twister!
Loved hearing your answers 🧡

Years ago, I had book browsing take me from a public library right to a bookstore.
I had taken the train into Washington, DC to spend the afternoon walking around Georgetown. I stopped in to the Georgetown Public Library and looked over the fiction. I pulled out _1Q84_ by Murakami and read the first chapter, which describes a woman stuck in a traffic jam on an elevated highway while listening to Sinfonietta by Janáček (a record I had bought in my college days). She leaves her taxi and climbs down an emergency stairway; at the bottom she sees signs of an altered timeline. Of course I was hooked. So I walked over to Dupont Circle and bought a copy at my favorite used book store. 📚

Hi Priscilla, I’ve read every writing book and thought you were going to mention doing the morning pages from the artist sway by Julia Cameron. But I’ve become disenchanted with the book and prefer. I need to re-read read writing down the bones because I think it’s more useful book for me. I also enjoyed Anne Lammot bird by bird.
I loved Nick Hornby’s about a boy. I tried one of his other books, but I can’t remember if it was high Fidelity or not. Maybe it will be a good reread. Fun video. Great tag Answers. Aloha friend.

That’s quite the dilemma, needing to surreptitiously ditch the books your neighbor unloaded on you. Are there any “Little Free Library” boxes in Amsterdam? Or, maybe a charity thrift store? (😆Didn’t intend that to sound like Scrooge.)
A few years ago while browsing at the library for a “Shorty September” book, I came across a short novel “Ellen Foster” by Kaye Gibbons (1987). It’s the story of a very poor but resourceful young girl dealing with unwelcoming, uncaring relatives and an alcoholic father after the suicide of her mother. It was very well written and I would never have known about it if I hadn’t browsed the stacks.

I like to browse the stacks of BookTubers while I’m watching their videos. I zoom in on the stacks (this doesn’t sound creepy at all) and also like to browse their tchotchkes. Not creepy at all. No.🤣

Time to answer the first prompt: 10 minutes, 28 seconds. 😉

What's up with that book on your shelf? Tell me about that one?
