- In which my spouse David helps me introduce a new tag, the Books with Friends tag. I hope many of you booktube folks will bring in your partners and friends to play along! (Make sure you stay tuned to the end to see the blooper reel.)
Prompts:
1. Tell me about a few of your favorite books.
2. What books have you read that you hated? (Perhaps specific books assigned to you in school?)
3. Any nonfiction favorites?
4. What books were important to you when you were young?
5. Have you discovered any children’s books that are meaningful to you now, but which you found as an adult?
6. Talk about a book we read together (as an audiobook, as a read aloud, as a read along, etc.)?
7. Are there books you associate with the beginning of our relationship/friendship?
8. Are there books I might have recommended to you that have become important to you?
9. Is there a book I recommended to you that you disliked?
10. What is on your nightstand right now?
Please feel free to add any questions or ideas that draw out specific bookish aspects of your friendships.

It was lovely to meet you David, you seem to be as lovely a person as your wife Hannah. I think it is wonderful that you both read aloud to each other, there is nothing I enjoy more than being read to, I think it satisfies a need most of us are not even aware of. Thank you both for a great video.
Thank you for being so kind to me and so welcoming to David. Reading aloud to each other was important to our relationship from our very early days!
Nice to meet David. I agree with everything he said about _One Hundred Years of Solitude_ .
Love that you read outloud to one another. _Ulysses_ on your trip to Ireland.
Lovely video. I smiled all the way through it.
Thank you so much, Brian. I am so glad we made this video together. What a wonderful experience it was putting it together!
This is so lovely. It made my evening. Thanks to both of for sharing this.
Thank you so much. I am so glad David was willing to join me!
Lovely to listen to you talking about books with your partner. How wonderful that you read aloud to each other!
Reading aloud together is my third favorite part of our relationship. The second is talking about books. And my favorite part is co-parenting the reader we created together.
This is a lovely idea for a tag! And it was great to meet David! :)
Thank you!
Profoundly beautiful and touching. I have no other words. Thank you so much for sharing this tender conversation with us! 😍
Shawn, thank you so much for your beautiful comment. Putting it together was such a wonderful experience--and having the recording means a lot to me. All these gorgeous comments coming in are definitely icing on the cake.
this was beautiful. thanks.
This is such a beautiful video, and what a great tag! So lovely to meet you both (I'm here thanks to Jason's Harrigan's recent shoutout) - you two are relationship goals times a million! 😍😍❤️❤️
Thank you so much. We’re not always on our best behavior, but our relationship has definitely been the best thing in my life.
What a great tag! This was a lovely video. So wonderful that you two can share your love of books with each other.
Thank you! I am so glad to have him reading next to me. (BTW, I have your Green Gables video in my watch later list and am eager to get to it!)
Hi Hannah! So nice that your husband enjoys reading too! Love your bookshelves!
Thank you! There is a backstory to those bookshelves--which I sheepishly explain in a recent video called "Update, and an Experiment." I hope you won't be any more disappointed than I am.
@@HannahsBooks Now I am intrigued....I will get back to you as soon as I watch. Thanks for the heads up!
This was a great conversation you had together. It was a pleasure to have your husband visit on the channel. Very interesting books you talked about and also how your family shares love of books together and recommending books to each other or reading together. Great idea to make it a tag. I don't know who I could film one with, but if I can I will try and do one on my channel.
Thank you! I would love to see what conversation you craft.
What a pleasant video! And a great tag idea. Enjoyed listening to both of you.
Thank you so much. It was a wonderful experience filming together. I hope you will try it sometime!
Nice to meet both of you (new to channel). This was a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing! I hope to get my wife up someday too. Subscribed and look forward to more!
I would love to see you talk books with your wife! Sounds lovely. Thanks for stopping by. I'm pleased to find your channel, too!
This was so enjoyable to listen to!
Thank you, Lukas! Seeing your video with your brother was one of the inspirations!
I found your channel through Jason. This is great, I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Best regards,
Thanks, Matthew! I'm so glad you are here--and so glad to have found your channel, too.
What a great video! My husband and I read to one another on road trips and talk about books all the time so I loved hearing about how the two of you do some of the same things
Books make for great marriages and partnerships, don't they?
This is such a lovely video and I love seeing you both together. Jane Eyre is amazing by the way 😊❤️
Thank you so much! Jane Eyre has been my favorite since I was about twelve years old!
What a beautiful video! Absolutely loved hearing you talk about your shared reading experiences.
I'm still hoping to get my husband to read more fiction, so we can talk about more books, but maybe I should just be happy with whatever he does read (mainly history/travel/science nonfiction, very little fiction, usually historical).
I'm here after seeing Jason's shoutout at Byways in Bookland and I'm so glad he pointed me in your direction. New subscriber!
I am so glad to see you here. Thank you very much. Yes--having a partner who reads, no matter what the person reads, is a wonderful thing.
Hannah this is awesome! My friend Marcia is coming home for Thanksgiving and I was planning on doing a video with her anyway! We’ll do this! It was great to meet your husband, too! Your relationship is so lovely.
Thank you so much, Rainey. I can't wait to see what you and Marcia create!
The Phantom Tollbooth is the best! It was a family favorite. True story: we read the Phantom Tollbooth to one of the children (I'm afraid I don't remember which) and they fell asleep during the chaptor on the Doldrums. Very excited with this, we did it again the next night, and found it worked again. By the third night, though, the effect had worn off, and its temporary status as a sneaky way to get that child to fall asleep was replaced with being a favorite book all the way through.
Susan, what a fantastic story! Just the idea of falling asleep as one enters the Doldrums is perfect--but turning into a favorite is even better. (Interestingly, I used to use an audiobook of Thomas Hardy the same way. The very sonorous and gentle narrator reading the first couple of paragraphs describing the physical environment were enough to put me to sleep within minutes. Then I sat down with a copy of the novel and within just a few chapters, Hardy became one of my favorite writers.
@@HannahsBooks and Tess of the D'urbervilles was an amazing novel to me, but when I read it at perhaps 14, I was totally depressed for a week! Maybe David would like The Mayor of Casterbridge - it has a semi- happy ending! Well, semi :)
Susan Brandt That might be a good choice. Have you read Hardy’s Under the Greenwood Tree, by any chance? It might be of special interest to you given your own hobbies and loves.
@@HannahsBooks I have to admit no, I think I read all the others perhaps. I only watched a film version! Reading is now difficult for me. I may get an audio version.
Susan Brandt It is not nearly as good as his major works-but the folky subject matter made me think of you. The movie is excellent! I think I will share it with Abe when he comes home in December.
I enjoyed watching this conversation. I’m planning to read the Olive Kittredge sequel on my vacation. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks! I'm going to try to get a copy of OK for David to read over our winter break. I've never read the first book in the series, so perhaps I can read that at the same time!
This was just beautiful
Thank you so much. I am overwhelmed by how kind everyone has been.
What a fun video. I'm still working on my husband. He does better with audio books and prefers business, but he's starting to branch out. =) Thank you for sharing.
Excellent! I hope you grow together through books for many years to come!
Wonderful! You kind of parallel of lot of my/our reading with Alfie Kohn and Harry Potter as prime examples. I don't think my dh would ever agree to be on a youtube video but maybe I can talk one of my kids into it . . . . hmm, we'll see. Lovely video!
Thanks! I would love to see your videoI I'm always thrilled to find another Alfie Kohn Harry Potter homeschooler etc etc!
Wonderful idea, Hannah. I already did one with my daughter but I can find someone else!
OK.... I don't know how you both didn't cry during this video. You certainly have moved me to tears. What a heartwarming tribute to love and reading.
@@seriela Alma, you have seen exactly where we were. We cried when we finished filming, and I think both of us have cried several time since, when we watched and when all these lovely comments started coming in. I am so glad I have this recording. Talking about books has been a huge part of our daily lives, from the very beginning. Thank you for being here.

Lovely tag! It felt like a very intimate conversation. It’s so wonderful that you influenced your husband to enjoy literature!
Which guides would you recommend to read Ulysses?
Valentina García I’ll pull out our old notes-but my memory is that the Cliffs Notes discussion was surprisingly good and very accessible.
Great video! I could have used somebody who studied Anthropology when i read all those books discussing communicating across cultures. I really like how David said he transitioned from enjoying plot driven narratives to appreciating the power of language. Yeah, I have totally been down that path! For what it is worth, there was a BookTube couples tag floating around about a year ago, so in a sense my wife and I already did this - but i must say, you prompts are way more interesting! ruclips.net/video/HB9RCvWoLm4/видео.html
Thanks for sharing the previous tag! And thank you so much for the kind words. Yes, I think a lot of people--perhaps especially men?--move from thinking of themselves as plot-driven readers to starting to feel like they are most interested in language and meaning. I have never been a plot-driven reader, but I used to prioritize CHARACTERS above all else. I needed to like or identify with at least one character if I was going to appreciate a book. I think I still feel that way a bit, but beautiful imagery and language is even more important to me now.
