Makes me happy I've never read him. Read THE SOUL GENE instead. :)

DC and Marvel have also if not dropped him than are quietly backing away from him, both have scrubbed forthcoming releases. A musical play version of Coraline is also not happening (I feel so bad for the UK theatres). His MasterClass video series on writing is off that site. A bunch of other orgs are pretending they've never heard of him. It's been pretty sweeping since the Vulture piece. Even if he settles quietly, which Scarlett's lawyers were loudly saying they didn't want (but that's likely a tactic), I'm not sure he's coming back from this one. I think a lot of people won't be able to handle his work without those articles running through their minds. IDK if you saw the "To the Friends of Calliope" post Claire/Katherine did. I thought it was really moving. She's a class act. I generally do believe Scarlett. And even if I believe him, he still admits to getting it on with her the day they met, when she was 40 years younger and his employee. Which... yikes. Get 'em, Scarlett.

Defendants enjoy the presumption of innocence. This is in civil court, so the burden of proof is less than that of a criminal proceeding…? The worst thing a defendant can do is talk freely without first consulting with their legal defense. One would be incredibly stupid to do otherwise.

I hope Pavlovich never has to worry about money again and can get the help she needs. And the Good Omens movie is in production right now in Scotland. Amazon has pulled in more members of the Pratchett estate to act as press shields.

I’ve been following this since it first broke back in July with the tortoise 4 episode podcast coverage. Not really a fan of tortoise, but the facts appeared solid. I then read that article that came out a month ago. Safe to say I won’t read Gaiman anymore. It’s just sickening.

Good Omens Season 3 is being turned into a 90 movie

Man, you look good, girl! I’m now MORE informed about Gaiman than I ever thought I’d be 😀

I was upset about this, but I feel you are speaking more broadly about our way bigger issues in America right now. That has most of my attention. Reading Octavia Butler is just chilling right now. You know?

I've been watching this unfold pretty closely. When his wife refused to cooperate with the investigation, I knew that was a red flag. I don't prejudge, but when you're in the middle of a divorce and you don't comment on a situation that would actually benefit your side, then you are probably protecting yourself too. I see a quiet settlement coming soon.

“Don’t be an ass, don’t be a dick”! 🤣🤣dying. Neil is such a mess lol May the force be with him lol

Ordered the Kobo based on the wind in the hair. I want the wind in the hair as well.

You are 52?!🤯💣😎 you are beautiful!

Looks like some great reading plans for February! I loved Water for Elephants but haven't read anything else by Sara Gruen - sounds like I have a lot of catching up to do! I've been meaning to read Tommy Orange, too. I just started Deacon King Kong, my first novel by James McBride - great so far. I've been hearing about your channel from other Booktubers, so I'm happy to "meet" you finally - enjoy your February books!

I liked The Passenger but I’m loving Stella Maris. I TOTALLY get what you mean about CMac’s style being annoying at times. Thanks for the video. Great work!

❤🔥❤

All I use for reading fiction is my Kindle Oasis. Unless it's something where I literally can't use it, but that's rare. I just love it. I wouldn't recommend it today though, it's way too expensive for what it is. The Kindle Paperwhite is just as good and much cheaper. I manage my ebooks using calibre though. I download all my books from Amazon, and from anywhere else I get them, and import them into calibre. Then I put the ones I want to read on my Kindle. It's sublime.

I really loved “There There” and I’ve also heard really great things about “The Reformatory”! Hope you have a wonderful reading month and a wonderful birthday coming up my fellow Pisces ✨🙌

I tried to follow him on Tumbler, but I think it was some ploy to - I think he steals stories!

I feel your pain 😢 so disappointed….

I had no idea you could annotate on the page OMG I’m getting it

Welcome to all the new booktubers! ❤🎉

Love your shirt! ❤ And excellent book recommendations! 📚

The main benefit of a 10 inch kindle should be to read academic books or magazines or newspapers in COLOR. Otherwise you are just holding extra weight for nothing.

Do you have the kobo clara bw with the upgraded 1300 ppi vs the Kindle paperwhite signature edition 12 gen?

Steamy stuff and also didn’t know you’re into the interactive ones, too! Yes, did the thing with the paper. :) Sounds fun and she does seem talented, yes! Variety of different works.

I loved the series Heartstopper. I'll have to get that book with the unmentionable title. My first book of February will be my next chunker. I'll be reading Under The Dome by Stephen King. If I make good time on it, I will join Garbaugust 3.5 with My Undoing, a memoir by a porn star. The reviews on Goodreads are completely divided. Half the readers hated it, and half the readers loved it. We'll see. 😮

Totally did the paper thing as a kid. 😂 I’m still working on Beloved-January kinda got away from me. Excited to read There There. I listened to The Reformatory last year and it’s really really good. …What is this lost weekend thing? I need this! Revisit my tragic youth skipping school to sneak out trashy LoveSwept romances from the library and read in the park. Good times. …Currently reading Bel Canto by Ann Patchett and enjoying it. And I’m planning on pulling the trigger next payday on a Kobo Libra Colour and start moving away from Amazon/Kindle. I better like it, cause I’ve already bought a ton of $1.99 books on Kobo specials. 😅 One was Bee Sting by Paul Murray, which I’ve been meaning to read, so looking forward to that in Feb as well. And then I’m halfway through listening to the Kate Shugak series by Dana Stabenow-awesome mysteries set in Alaska, and one I revisit every couple of years cause I love Kate & Mutt. Happy Reading! 📚

I've had pretty much every Kindle that's been released - bar the Paperwhite Signature. I've got the Oasis (but the Signature is close enough - bar the page-turn buttons). When I got the Scribe, I thought it would remain a 'home' device once the novelty wore off - but after two years, I still take it everywhere with me. I just love having the notebook and reading options contained in one device. I've got a cover with a kickstand, so don't find it unwieldy. I did get the Kobo Libra Colour a few months ago but wasn't impressed. I am, admittedly, quite wedded to the Kindle ecosystem; I have hundreds of novels and thousands of samples, but I was willing to flip to Kobo for the colour e-reader + notebook experience. The unit itself felt very cheap and plastic-y though, and a side-by-side comparison of the Kobo against the Oasis showed that the fonts on the Kobo just aren't as punchy as Kindle fonts. As for the note-taking experience, I wasn't impressed. The pen was nowhere close to the realistic writing experience of the Scribe, and I found taking notes on such a small screen frustrating. So the Kobo went back. For me, the e-reader utopia will be when Amazon releases a colour Kindle with note-taking capabilities; preferably in both Scribe-size and regular size.

I have heard great things about The Reformatory. Great plans for Feb, MJ!

I have never read one of those romance novels either.

This year’s wasted weekend is my birthday (Saturday), and dress rehearsal for our community musical! I need to find a quick read for the downtime…

Not sure if you’ve heard of ASMR but even speaking at full volume, you gave me ASMR!If you’re interested in whisper versions of your videos I DEFINITELY think you’d have an audience in the (huge) ASMR community hah ….Also, I’m deliberating whether to jump from my KPW 3 to KPW 6 orrrrr the new Kobo Libra colour. What made you say you’d only use this for ARCs? Do you prefer your kindle otherwise?

Started reading laymon at 16, over 20 years ago. I was reading dean Koontz and Bentley little upto that point. That began my journey of reading all his books. I am a fan and get lots of people dont enjoy his works and thats ok.

Pdfiles are gross

Hey, great video. Which of the two devices gets dimmer? i.e. in a pitch black room which one is less bright?

I love Watership down and I also love these drawings✨🐇 I have seen the 1999 series and the movie and finally got the book, a edition of the book that was released just after the movie. I can't wait to read it. ☘️⭐️🤍

I am looking for over 55 aged book tubers. This might be an idea for a vlog. Thanks so much for all you do.❤

Hey MJ, love your passion for your Football team. I feel the same way about Rugby! Will check out the channels.

Looking forward to reading your number one in the near future!

Keep on spreading the Booktube gospel

Thank you for all that you do thank you for saying all are welcome.

Not me thinking you were talking about The Eagles as in the band 😂 Welcome to all hopping over to youtube!

🥰📚

I really appreciate you saying all are welcome. I feel so displaced. As a narrator, I don't even know where to go anymore to connect with authors 😭
