You should have said "No, Luke. I am your father!" (although the real line doesn't include Luke, but it makes it easier to know where the quote came from!)
What a unique and charming bookstore--thank you for taking us along on your visit. Does my heart good to see younger folks showing such a love for reading (I’m sixty, I can get away with calling almost anyone on RUclips younger 😂). My parents were avid readers and taught me how to read before I even went to kindergarten. At one point, I had over 7000 hardcover volumes in my personal library, plus who knows how many paperbacks--not fun trying to manage all that every time I moved over the last four decades! I’ve sold off most of my physical library at this point and have moved to doing most of my reading on digital platforms now, mainly because I am able to adjust font type/size/contrast/etc to help as my eyesight weakens over time. If I can make a recommendation--there is a fantasy trilogy (The Summer Tree, The Wandering Fire, The Darkest Road) collectively called The Fionavar Tapestry, written by Guy Guvriel Kay. He was a protege of Tolkien, but writes in a more modern, personable, and emotional style--it’s been one of my favorite series in the genre for many years. Again, love your channel--wishing you both happiness and prosperity from an older gay bookworm in Dallas ❤❤❤
Chris’s hair is on point! I have a rule where I have to read 20 physical copy books before I can buy another book. However, I had a few slips though only two.
I love you guys together. I know it's an overused word, but all I can think of is that you're cute. One of my favorite parts of the video was at 11:33 and listening to the wind in the trees. I wish I had a loving "other" in my life as you both do. Treasure this because it's something very special. 🐸 (I also love Frog and Toad.)
Chris, Almost all California Public Libraries participate in “Universal Borrowing,” which means you can present your local library card at any other public library in the state, and they will issue a library card for that library system to you so you can borrow materials. It applies to any California Public library that receives any State funding, which is 95%+ of all local libraries. Cheers!
Chris, I'm really enjoying ur channel and seeing u as more of the "main character" for a change. I have been subscribed to Benji's channel for a long time, found him mainly through interest in plants. Loving both of ur content. I really enjoyed the outdoor bookstore and hearing the crows cawing as u were shopping was such a vibe. By the way, u have absolutely beautiful hair.
absolutely, the calmness and gentleness of Chis' tone, soothes the nervous system of anyone who hears. Good for you guys! btw, you guys really know how to plan and enjoy a day trip.
If you ever get back to Ojai, it's a nice place for a WHOLE day visit. It's a unique place. The atmosphere is calming...it's a highly spiritual place but not in a religious way. And there's a very peaceful😌 aura surrounding it. Thank you for sharing your visit to the outdoor bookstore with us.
You guys have great choice of paintings in your house. I love all of them. The aesthetics inside as well as outside your house are so on point, cozy, homely and full of warmth.
Thank you for the tour of Ojai. I went there a couple of years ago and had a really nice time. I went to the outdoor bookstore and some of the other places you went to. 👍🙏😜😎
fun fact. if you have a California ID, you can go to any county and get a library card. The Ebooks alone are worth it and some have park passes that you can get for free to visit some state parks. :)
Another great video. I felt like I was right along with you two. I’d love to spend the day there.Maybe when I’m in SoCal this winter. BTW,love seeing the two of you together in recent videos. So playful and loving.❤
You have more self control in saying that you will not purchase a book because I cannot. Everytime that I am in a book store, I seem to purchase a book and right now I think I have 250 books that I purchased and have not read so I am not going to any bookstores and Amazon books are off for me as i am determined to finish reading them before I purchase another book. I think your relationship with Benji is heartwarming and I love seeing your interaction with each other and the two pets.
I love Ojai. It still has some great small town vibe. Some great art and music festivals. It's not for those with a thin wallet thou... unfortunately. Really enjoy the visiting bookshops and libraries segments. I didn't know about Barts. Maybe a daytrip?
Loved your Video❤ I definitely would have bought a Book Guy's! From the largest outdoor Bookstore?!! Oh yes, for sure. Or Perhaps that really is the Only Outdoor Bookstore anywhere! Oh my. Go back and get a Book!!!!🙂📚
The Scythe series was good! I LOVED the first book, the second was was also pretty good, the third one……………. Was something! I looooved one of the new characters introduced but… not my fav 🥲
You went to Ojai and did not meet up with the bionic woman? (Sorry - gen x reference there). Americano is my go to drink! Although I like it hot with steamed oat milk.
I love following you both and listening to you speak but honestly, your speaking voice while recording is way too soft. I have to crank my volume just to hear you
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
the softness and gentleness with which you guys speak to each other is my absolute favorite thing
Ditto 🥹❤
You guys are just so cute together ❤
Exactly 😌😊so calm
Constant asmr
Yeah same..
sorry for breathing into the mic 😵💫
You should have said "No, Luke. I am your father!" (although the real line doesn't include Luke, but it makes it easier to know where the quote came from!)
it adds ✨texture✨
Wishing to have a relationship like you guys....so soft spoken yet silly🥹

me stressing before an exam, literally a gift to have this video right now ❤
Chris’s hair is on point! I have a rule where I have to read 20 physical copy books before I can buy another book. However, I had a few slips though only two.
It's almost disgusting how aesthetic and cozy you two are
3:23 The turn around and stare while saying "I think I speak for myself" trying to look cool while making no sense is so funny 🤣

Chris, you are the most beautiful ginger on the internet 🤩
You and Benji are a relationship goal.
Benji walking with his hands clasped behind him at 11:26 like an Asian dad was so funny to me

You guys are so great! I feel like I've been on a nice day trip, without the driving! Another bookstore to put on my bucket list. Thanks!
If you ever get back to Ojai, it's a nice place for a WHOLE day visit. It's a unique place. The atmosphere is calming...it's a highly spiritual place but not in a religious way. And there's a very peaceful😌 aura surrounding it.
Thank you for sharing your visit to the outdoor bookstore with us.

Hello, impressive bookstore, nature and literature together, a great union; thanks for your videos.
fun fact. if you have a California ID, you can go to any county and get a library card. The Ebooks alone are worth it and some have park passes that you can get for free to visit some state parks. :)
It’s Chris in a candy story! Silver Linings Playbook was such a great book and a great (but very different) movie too!
😊it's great Benjie is part of your journey...
Another great video. I felt like I was right along with you two. I’d love to spend the day there.Maybe when I’m in SoCal this winter. BTW,love seeing the two of you together in recent videos. So playful and loving.❤
This was so fun!
You can hang the fish dish if you want. Google plate hangers. You can also get them at art supply places.
Roger Zelazny was a premier author...may he rest in love...and he lived in Santa Fe NM...just up the road from the Duke City.

Such sweet reactions!

I love Ojai. It still has some great small town vibe. Some great art and music festivals. It's not for those with a thin wallet thou... unfortunately. Really enjoy the visiting bookshops and libraries segments. I didn't know about Barts. Maybe a daytrip?

Outdoor bookstore and im thinking humidity

You were talking about Chapel Roan & then saw a random Pink Pony? 💫 Destiny 💫
The comment about „California „ just broke my heart 😢

I LOVE the music that was playing at the bungalow shop. Does anyone recognize the songs/know the title(s)??

2:28 California is my favorite song by Chappell Roan!!
You went to Ojai and did not meet up with the bionic woman? (Sorry - gen x reference there). Americano is my go to drink! Although I like it hot with steamed oat milk.
Isn't Ojai California where they made the movie Easy A?
Does Benji have a thing for cute redhead? I know I do ;)
