Alan Mendelsohn, the Boy from Mars
by Daniel M. Pinkwater
1979
Mr. Pinkwater was 79 on November the 15th, happy birthday, sir!
The page on the website that has several of his books as audiobooks, read by the author, I believe:
pinkwater.com/audiobooks
And for something odd, him reading his children's story 'Devil in the Drain', a Faustian bargin on 'This American Life':

Why not check out the delightful and thoughtful booktubers who are in no way to blame for the above video?
This iteration of the subject starts with a conversation between barb @ the font* and kit @ kits world:
font* video: https://youtu.be/s23er1WUVe8
kits world video: https://youtu.be/CV-06FmhLX4
(They take the same footage but come up with their own distinct videos. It is worth checking out both to see how creative they are editing (and, you know, doing that technical stuff to) their videos.)
Then another conversation about the anxieties of booktubing between the ultra chill Steve Donoghue and the frankly very brave and generous Jere @ Drawn to Stories:

And why not finish up with Kim @ the MIDDLE of the Book MARCH, whose video actually got me to check out barb & kits videos. She provides a SANE small booktuber perspective and gives helpful advice for folks who are not as NEUROTIC and as prone to using CAPITAL LETTERS in their description box. DONT YOU HATE THOSE PEOPLE?

Sigh. That is all folks.

He Knew He was Right
by Anthony Trollope
1869
My two part review of Trollopes novel - this was the best way for me to get this done as I was preparing for National Novel Writing Month and explains why it took me so long to actually post it.
[and after uploading it, it took me another two weeks to actually publish the video - I am working in slow motion at the moment]
Im 25 chapters into Trollopes Lady Anna! [No I finished Lady Anna about 2 weeks ago and still need to stop and do a review of the book, which I loved]
Here is Katie @ Books and Things Victober TBR, where she mentions shell be reading Trollopes Lady Anna in October. Katie is Booktubes resident expert on all things Victorian literature and a great source for reading ideas:
