I love the Witch at Blackbird Pond, i reread it often as well. One main thing I loved about it was the discussion and descriptions of food. I'm a big fan of books that had talked about food.
My top 3 favorite books are: 1. Our Lady of Not Asking Why by Courtney Kampa (book of poems) 2. The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien (collection of stories about Vietnam that I read in college) 3. Where I'm Calling From: Selected Stories by Raymond Carver Bonus: 4. Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument Until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit by Charles Bukowski (book of poems)
This is actually a good idea. I'm normally disappointed when I see youtubers' book collections because they are usually lame and predictable. Turning them backwards prevents this and leaves an air of mystery like "Maybe he/she is reading something that isn't awful."
Do not care how people keep their books, we will never be able to be in someone else “shoes” so the judgement is very revealing of the people who object, displacing their own insecurities and shortcomings onto a person who is very secure and comfortable with themselves - hoping to drag them down to their bitter and sad mental state - bitter and insecure people always telegraph their mental and emotional state online. You don’t have to explain because those people don’t deserve one. When I worked as a writer there were times of the year where I could not do any reading whether it was the local newspaper or books I loved and frequently would refer - any association with the work I did kept me in work mode and I needed a reprieve to keep my mind fresh - one solution was to purchase a shelf with doors I could close so I wouldn’t see my references books and books I loved to read. So turn your books any which way you like.
My top 3 favourite books; have long histories with: 1. The Secret Life of Puppets by Victoria Nelson (literary criticism) 2. A Garden of Pomegranates by Israel Regardie (metaphysics, occult & kabbalah) 3. Generation P by Viktor Pelevin (novel in post-soviet 90s Russia) Bonus: 4. Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe (play)
There is a UK celebrity who bought a load of books based on the colours of the jackets rather than the content. My sister and I have made fun of this on several occasions.
Reading books in public (physical books or e-books) for me is, in part, telling people to leave me alone. I am not available for communication, conversation, flirtation, or connection (to You). At home with family or roommates is similar, "I am done people-ing, go away."
Frankenstein: Mary Shelley. The Guns of August: Barbara Tuchman. The Great Gatsby: F. Scott Fitzgerald. I liked your books turned backwards. IMHO. Love your videos!
Teresa, I would never call you a sociopath. Semi-Sociopath, perhaps!😆Seriously, your posts are unique and thought-provoking. Who else could make a video about backward shelved books so entertaining? I'm also simpatico about your privacy. I write a blog about comic books but my online presence is scarce and I also am pretty private. I also would like to compliment yo u on your skills presenting your You Tube pieces. They also point to your skills as a writer. It all comes together. Thanks again for providing a skillful, entertaining and one-of-a-kind presentation.
H.R. Giger let his lawn get overgrown. Im guessing his studio kinda looKed like a coroner's office. Giger was in a funk one day and GWAR crossed his path that day and they cheered him up. I guess you could say GWAR was his ideal house guests.
Wow. That's quite a cliffhanger, Teresa. Showing us that stack of your work was the highlight of this video as far as I'm concerned, especially when you describe some of your earlier work as containing "psychologically disturbed" sorts. Maybe you should employ a nom de plume so as not to mix this channel with your writing life. Or are you doing that already?!? (Come to think of it, using a pen name is sort of sociopathic in its own right, no?) 🤔
While your having to🤷♀is shrouded in ambiguity, I'm sure it would be well worth it in order for me to be able to go to Amazon or my local library and get introduced to your brainchildren. In any case, brava for that sort of output. (And nice Shakespeare/R&J recitation, btw.)👏
Very weird way to start a video. I'm not sure why people in America seem to think it's so funny to threaten people's genitals. Do you realise how weird this sounds to people outside the US? I know it's not your intention to offend and it's just an off-hand comment, but it's odd how normalised it is for you.

It's rare to find a fellow fan of Witch of Blackbird Pond🥰

Don't these posers buy books by the foot in bulk?

Awww! Thank you so much! You always get me 🥰
@@teresachaotic.corner I think because we both have quirky outlooks. And you have a fabulous sense of humor 😊

That's probably the tip of the iceberg when it comes to strange American humor that's lost in translation. Where are you from?
