Details in the description.Bookless Pete2024-08-19 | Thanks to everyone who discussed my last video in the comments there or in videos of their own! I really appreciated this community.
This was meant to be a ramble but I only touched on a few topics:
1. Concerns that my Chromebook is dying. (If I disappear mostly for awhile, that might be why).
2. Some follow-up thoughts including how I plan to handle THAT review, which will come out, as the author requested, in the form of an Amazon review on 19 October. I'll link to it then, but won't do a video review.
3. Since I have never like Neil Gaiman's work, my Gaiman take is irrelevant, but I give it here anyway. (A good point to turn the video off).
And my original "In exchange for an honest review" video: youtube.com/watch?v=OcOAgSbQuKs&t=269sIn Exchange for an Honest Review.

1.) What is a book that reminds you of or takes place in each place that you've lived? This could mean country, state/province, city/town, and or apartment/house. Just come up with a book that really resonates with you and the time you spent in each place where you've had a mailing address!
2.) Since a roadmap not only shows you where you've been, but also where you're going, what is a book that reminds you of or takes place in your next destination? Or a place you'd like to live in?
