Weekly reading wrap-up September 1, 2004: Clearing up the trash

Raynor Reads Stuff 2024-09-01 | I have completed #garbaugust3d. The weekly prompts and the bingo card using separate books for each, the Instagram prompts and the group read and 14 different decades. I feel a huge sense of achievement.

I did make a mistake in the video: For Conspiracy Theory on the bingo card I actually read The World's Strangest Forgotten Conspiracy Theories by Conrad Bauer.

Thank you Olly for creating such a fun event and also for asking me to be a co-host this year, which was an incredible honour. I have enjoyed the event so much. Roll on next year. This is Raynor Wants It Rough signing out for this year :)

This is the third incarnation of GarbAugust and it was created by Olly at @CriminOllyBlog who, for the duration of the event is renamed Screaming Creaming Olly.

Should we read books by bad people? A response of sorts

Raynor Reads Stuff 2024-08-21 | I've never put up a video like this before.
I've been mulling things over in my head and I find I understand my thoughts better when I articulate them. This is sort of a response video to allegations about Neil Gaiman and what we, as readers, do about reading books by people judged to have done awful things.

Other videos on the subject that I enjoyed that you might be interested in:

Olly at @CriminOllyBlog touches on this subject here:

Book Buds’ Second Original Tag

Raynor Reads Stuff 2024-08-20 | This is called Book Buds’ Second Original Tag from @BookBuds and I was tagged by my friend Pat at @BookChatWithPat8668

Book Buds said: "We're all Book Buds here on BookTube so let's have some fun with our buds and see who has the strength of character to help us out in some unusual circumstances!"

If you do the tag, make sure you tag @BookBuds so they can check out your responses. Sorry I couldn't whittle mine down to one person for each question!

Questions:
1. You’re stuck on a deserted island and can only bring one booktuber bud, but ALL their books would come with them - who do you want to be stuck with?

2. You accidentally rob a bookstore with a booktuber bud by walking out with 100 books. You spend a year behind bars with them, BUT now you can read and do videos together. Who do you get locked up with?

3. You magically get trapped in a murder mystery you are reading. Another booktuber bud joins you to solve the mystery! – Who do you want to join you?

4. You magically get trapped in a fantasy novel fighting dragons and casting spells. Which booktuber bud do you choose to bring in with you to save the day?

5. You are stuck in the cloud of sadness, hitting a reading funk, and feeling totally uninspired. Which booktuber bud can pick you up with their positivity?

6. Your arms are in cast for two months and a booktuber bud is going to edit all your videos for you. - Who edits them and why?

7. You press a button and instantly have read ALL the books that a booktuber bud has already read. - Which bud would you pick and why?

And my answers:
1. Greg at @anotherbibliophilereads Gavin at @GenreBooks23 Aaron at @AaronReadABook and Aaron @aaronfacer
2. Pat at @BookChatWithPat8668 Ros at @scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 and Al at @bighardbooks770
3. Olly at @CriminOllyBlog and Stormi at @StormReads
4. The fabulous @BookBuds and Annie at @ObscureBookAdventures
5. M-J at @M-J Michael at @michaelk.vaughan8617 and Dave and Olive at @BookBlather
6. Alex at @alex_unabridged and Roy AND Dr Jennie at @royreadsanything
7. Vin at @revenantreads John David at @NicholasOfAutrecourt and Jim at @MysteryandMayhem-gr7nn

Thanks for watching lovely people and I hope to see you soon

The Your Answer Cant Be Books tag

Raynor Reads Stuff 2024-07-17 | Hi everyone, I'm trying to catch up on my book tags and this is a tag originally created by Joe and Mary @BookBuds a while ago.
I was tagged by the lovely Pat at @BookChatWithPat8668 and it has taken me about two months to respond (sorry Pat).

The prompts are:
1. What is something that you own way too many of, other than books?
2. What is something that you do for fun that’s not reading a book?
3. What is something special or important on your nightstand, that’s not a book?
4. What’s something that you buy at a bookstore other than books?
5. What’s a fun gift that you’ve received that wasn’t a book or a gift card for books?
6. What’s a YouTube channel that you watch, that’s not related to books?
7. Tag five BookTubers that you want to learn more about.
Those people are:
@BooklessPete
@MyGrannyEra
@Eldertalk
@Tristan-L-Space-Books
@willchambers8065

The Nightclub tag (warning: a more badly chaotic video than usual)

Raynor Reads Stuff 2024-07-16 | This is the Nighclub Tag originally created by BellTube at @BrianBell7 and I was tagged by Pat at @BookChatWithPat8668

The prompts:

1 - "Cocktail Hour" - Name a book you that you think pairs perfectly with your favourite drink.
2 - "Neon Lights" - Name a book with a cover that immediately grabbed your attention like bright lights in a club."
3 - "The Bouncer" - What book did you have to put down because it just wasn't letting you in?"
4 - "DJ's Choice" - What book would you recommend as the perfect read for someone new to the fantasy genre?
5 - "Disco Ball" - Name a book that made you feel like you were part of a vibrant, glittering world."
6 - "Dance Floor Diva" - What book had you dancing with excitement from the first page to the last?
7 - "Guest List" - Which author would you invite to an exclusive book-themed party and why?"
8 - "VIP Entrance" - Which book did you feel privileged to read before it became more widely popular?"
9 - "Dance Battle" - Which two characters from different books would you love to see face off in a dance battle?"
10 - "Midnight Read" - What's a book you couldn't put down and ended up reading all night?
11 - "After-Party" - What book left you with a hangover, unable to start a new read immediately after finishing it?
12 - "Late Night Conversations" - Which book left you thinking deeply or wanting to discuss it with others late into the night?
13 - Tag some people.

I tag Arron at @arronjameshook , Al at @bighardbooks770 , Crystal at @fiberartsyreads and James at @JamesRuchala
