It's the day after surgery now, and I LIVE! I'm a bit sore, but so far so good. The next challenge is to be smart and let myself heal.
This video is probably self-indulgent but also let me say the stuff I don't think about saying as I rush through my life.
Thank you for watching.

I have closed my comments going forward because while I enjoy making videos, I find it difficult to communicate by text. This isn't a criticism of the many warm and welcoming interactions I've had with people on BookTube (this tiny corner of YouTube). I find social interactions very taxing, especially the tricky back and forth via text. Sorry if you wanted to leave a comment, but this is how I get to be on social media (by not being particularly social).

I cant find a specific video by Shawn talking about The Strangest Family. He mostly updated his viewers on the book in a series of Friday Reads about a year or maybe two ago. I suggest going back and watching all his videos just to be safe! He is a tremendous booktuber.
