    In today's video, I went tot he library for the first time as an adult! Joking, this is the first time I've made a video at the library as an adult. I have three secret challenges I must complete before leaving, so stick around to find out what those are and if I achieved them! Thanks for stopping by!

    I think the video was a success, because:
    1. It was very entertaining as usual.
    2. You started writing a story. That is so great! Now you can come back to it whenever inspiration hits. No need to put the bar so high when you are starting out. Just have fun with the process.
    3. The one deep conversation was worth more than three superficial ones.
    4. You did read a lot of the book even with this impossible challenge to skip 99 pages.
    5. You were nervous to film but did it anyway. You probably give the beard more credit than it deserves as it is not the only thing grown over the years but also you as a person. You can always grow it back, but you look good either way.

    Ian. You need to give yourself a break. Don't be ashamed that your planned big steps turned out to be smaller steps. You still moved forward. Your beard was indeed a majestic RIP but, maybe this is an opportunity for growth in having confidence even though you don't feel it. Your joy in reading made my TBR wayyyyy longer than when I first started watching. Keep it up you're doing great.

    I’m a retired librarian and I still spend quite a lot of time there. Why not, it’s clean and quiet and cool and there’s LOTS of books! I get most of my reading material at the library, including the Friends of the Library book sales and Libby and Hoopla. There are two branches near my home and they each host book clubs - one fiction and the other non-fiction. We’re very blessed to have access to libraries.

    I love the library. In my experience it's great for nonfiction, when I got into reading history books they cost more to buy than regular fiction, especially hardbacks. Turns out the library has them all and because they are not as popular as fiction they are almost always available. It's awesome looking at shelves and shelves of history books knowing I can literally walk out with any of them for free.

    Hey, man. Sometimes the beard gotta go and we have to start from square one for whatever reason that may be. A few weeks ago, I biffed my lineup so bad that I for real went completely clean-shaven for the first time in years. I've always rocked at least the stache but not this time. Confidence was at an all time recent low for a few but we're kinda back with it. My point is: it happens to the best of us, my friend. 🤘🏻

    I've been to libraries many times, even as an adult, and I really don't like them very much. There are almost always too many kids running around (libraries are NOT places of "peace and quiet"!) and I always feel awkward just being there. I don't really like reading books very much anyway. The most interesting thing about libraries to me is their map and atlas collection (and their computers when I was a kid).

The first one is 'When Christmas Comes' which is a prologue to the series. This introduced Cameron Winters in a great short story. The first full book is 'A Strange Habit of Mind' where you start getting his back story along with another great mystery. The fourth in the series comes out in October. I can't wait for the next one to come out. And, of course, any of Andrew Klavan's other books are excellent as well, both fiction and non-fiction. Check him out.

    @TheArtfulBrittani Месяц назад +1

    I think the atmosphere of a library is just different. Most people are there to get something done, so it probably felt more like you would "bother" them if you went up and filmed/talked with them. Maybe to make up for it you can do a "I ask 3 people at a coffee shop their book recommendation." or somewhere else that might be less confrontational. you definitely have more bravery than this socially awkward turtle.
