Are Short Stories Commercial? #bookselling #popularity Books Songs and Other Magic 2024-09-15 | This is me asking the question on whether short stories are inherently less commercial than novels, simply by the fact that they are short story collections?It's something that I wondered while thinking about Harlan Ellison's critical popularity and general respect - mixed with almost everything being out of print and his books being so hard to get. I'd love to know your thoughts on what I'm saying here in the video.I kept it to science fiction, mostly, as making it more general would open a huge can of worms that I wouldn't do justice. Thanks for watching!

Also the family of @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf and Becky from @thebookishbryants I had also planned to give a shout out to @LiterateTexan too, as he's been going through a lot this year - I had it on my notes but forgot to mention him in the video - but the hug is there...ALSO - Hugs to everyone else!!!I think we do genuinely have to know sometimes that someone cares about us, and this is my humble way of doing it - look at this whenever you need to.

Why Do I Collect Books #bookcollector @BookishTexan Books Songs and Other Magic 2024-08-20 | This is a video where I think about why I collect books. It's bouncing off a great video by Brian at @BookishTexan who talked about why he reads.This is different because it's about specifically collecting books, which I'm sure some of you do.Some of you don't and have developed a love of ebooks to make your books a much smaller presence in your house which I totally understand.For me, the physicality and joy of collecting is a big thing. So I talk about the 9 authors that I collect everything I can find, as well as other types of books that I collect, and then give 4 words to describe why collecting is fun.Please comment below if you can relate to these words and this preoccupation.Thanks for watching!

As it is, I had to wrestle with how I feel as a fan of his work.Please comment below on your feelings on this. Thanks for watching, as always.
