I totally get your frustration, and you are not too old. Young as I am, I once recorded a video 5 times before posting. No one really mentally prepare for the distress of doing TH-cam. Then we just suck it up and continue 😂 and ask ourselves Is this worth it? 😂The anxiety with health issues are unfortunate, I hope all your tests are good. I remember feeling so anxious going to hospitals and 3 people in my family (dad, grandma, grandpa) have cancer so the hospital is so so stressful for me, so I just refused to go to check-up as a coping mechanism. But yeah, just a rant, I don't want to make it about me because these are problems you're having. Great video as always, and I didn't know you do crocheting 😄

So glad you are enjoying The Night Parade Stuart. Thank you for linking my video, and I agree that it can be really challenging to balancing booktube with life. Keep at it Stuart, I am sure you will find a way.

Awesome review video I picked All Hallows up on vacation. Was going to be on my tbr for October 2025. I feel you on frustration with technology. It’s definitely a love hate relationship. Especially when you take time to write a review only to not have it save properly.

Hello I am watching your video, very nice video, I like it very much. Can you reach more people with these videos? Because video views and subscriptions are the easiest ways to earn money from TH-cam.🎉🎉🎉

Hi Stuart. I’m sorry you had such technological difficulty on this video. It sounds very frustrating. I’ve had similar things happen too, and it’s very frustrating because I don’t usually know what I’ve done wrong or how to fix it. You are not “too old” to be doing this. I’m very glad you’re here.

Yes, the technology of video production often brings me undone, it's hard when you're not a natural 'tech-head'. I easily become very, very flustered by the whole technology side of BookTube, let's muddle through together. I love your work. I'm really keen to read 'The Bookshop', this looks fantastic. Your wobbles are just amazing, very clever, wow! Geez, you actually have an amazing background in technology, & no, you are not too old, your videos are great. I always look forward to watching new videos by you, Stuart. It is such a joy to follow one another's bookish adventures.

Hey Stuart, filming a video and the sound not recording is so frustrating. It's only happened to me once but it's very demoralising. I thought All Hallows was pretty good too, I gave it 4* I think. Christopher Golden has a book called Road of Bones that's pretty good. I'm reading a Ronald Malfi book called Black Mouth at the moment, I'm enjoying it, he's becoming an author i really want to read more of. Have a good week 🙂

What a great tour! That was fun! I've been thinking about doing a bookshelf tour myself to compliment a big UN-haul I'm planning at the end of the year.

thank you for showing us your book stacks and put in good words for me in your video. I know you mostly watch and recommend Booktuber and my videos doesn’t align with that much 😂 I’d love to film a book shelf tour on my channel too. It’s in my my must-film list. And tbh, I was like omg that’s a lot of stack. And such a wide variety of great books. That room would be awesome for playing video games. Like you, I have so many books that I haven’t read yet 😂 and I have come to accept that I cannot read all of the books I want in my lifetime. I love how engaging this video feels because I keep wanting to know what other types of books you have. And the realness of that super cluttered room is 💯

hello friend, I am analyzing your TH-cam channel, your channel is 17 year old, you are publishing 109 videos but only 191 subscribers, you should have minimum 1M+ subscribers. You work so hard to make videos, but you don't want to benefit from these videos. Like, lots of likes, comments, views, subscribes. Most importantly, don't you want to earn money from your TH-cam channel for your hard work? Did you know you can earn money from TH-cam?😂😂😂

I'm curious, you don't feel the need to purchase bookcases, & assemble your library as part of your nesting in place? I love that we read such divergent books, & dwell with them so differently. It is so reassuring & emboldening to embrace difference - & love it!

Great tour Stuart! You own wounderful books.

This was a really cute tag! And loved hearing about your Christmas memories/traditions 🤗

I loved You Like It Darker. I enjoyed hearing your answers. Thank you for tagging me. I'm looking forward to recording my video soon.

Hi Stuart, thank you for doing our tag. I loved your spontaneous approach responding to the prompts. Jules Verne's book is calling me! Happy Thanksgiving!

Loved hearing your responses to these prompts, Stuart. I love all of the traditional Christmas shows too! They bring back many happy memories. Great job on this video!

Hi Stuart- enjoyed hearing your responses, many interesting books 👍 Best wishes for the holiday season.

Ho, go, hooooo! Thank you for the tag ❤ Loved your answers.

Thank you, Stuart! I love that you did our tag! It's so much fun to watch it go around the Booktube Community! Happy Reading!

Another great tag video Stuart. Donny Sweeney is such a turd, I really disliked him, the Dad at the party was horrid too.

Thanks for another wonderful video, brimful with variety & joy, I really look forward to your videos, Stuart - you are a marvel!

hello friend, I am analyzing your channel, and see that your channel is not monetized. Can you earn from TH-cam? Do you want to earn from your TH-cam channel? If you want to earn then you must get TH-cam monetization.😂😂 😂😂

Terrific wrap-up, Stuart. Your commitment to both PEN America and the American Library Association is admirable. You are right that the list of banned books is going to continue to grow.

I am very interested to read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie but probably a library book kinda deal.

you should do a bookshelf tour. I would really love to see your collection

Love the matching jumper & hair, & I love how you always have multiple reading adventures all running alongside one another, I can only read one thing at a time. Your wobbles are so adorable. I'm about to try Lovecraft also, I'm nervous about reading someone so known for racism (& other crudities), so not sure how I'll go, especially in this political era. I'll see... I love your commitment to PEN, & the Librarian Association. Good on you, Stuart. Look after yourself, stay strong & creative. Thanks for another fun video.

UConn Women! That's my team! LOVE them!

I think I read something by Golden in the past, but I can't remember which one it was. I've heard all good things about "All Hallows", tho. I knew you would like "Part-time Indian" - great book! Happy Reading!

I probably lean towards being a book murderer, but i would definitely judge a person for just tearing pages (still not sure why they would either on purpose lol) and probably tell them I was judging them for it haha. Great vid Stuart

I read All Hallow's last year. I haven't read any of Christopher Golden's other books yet. The Frankenstein is adorable. Great wrap-up!

Your video is very nice, I feel very good. But in my mind the video is not SEO because such a beautiful video has very few views, likes and subscriptions. Can I see what could be causing low views, subscriptions? Do you want to grow your channel? 😢😂😢😂

Thank you for the tag!!

Enjoyed your answers 👍 I tend to read a lot of non fiction and refer back to the book and connect with other books, so annotating makes it easier. Noah did a great job with the tag and kept it easy. Great video

Your video is very nice but your video title, meta description, meta tags are very bad, chances of growing in the channel are low.

You are definitely not a book murderer, Stuart. 😉

I cherish the idea of the book as cultural artefact, I am reverent, maybe too much so, but I love my books. I think all my answers to these questions would be very similar to yours. Really enjoyed listening to your answers to these questions. Thanks for another wonderful video.

I appreciate your “spoilers” on Normal People. It really helps me know that the book wouldn’t be for me. Nine books is fantastic!! Especially with that amount of pages! I’d loved to hear how you like your watch!

I LOVED "Part time Indian" - it was sad and funny and informative. If you ever get an opportunity to listen to it on audio, I highly recommend it! Once you get past his speech patterns, it's amazing to hear his story and his thoughts in his own voice. He also wrote a book about his mom's passing which I listened to and did not finish. It had great moments, but overall I did not get into it half as much as Part-time Indian. I also have "Reservation Blues" somewhere on my shelves which I hope to get to someday soon! LOL! LOVE your woobles. You're getting really good at those. They're adorable!

Your video is very nice, I really like it. But I don't feel good because the views and subscriptions are very low in such beautiful videos. Can I see what could be the cause of low views, subscriptions?😃

Stuart, I always appreciate your comments on my videos. You have made me feel so welcome in the short time I have been on Booktube.

Hi Stuart. Nice to see the subscribers clicking up. Happy reading.

Congrats on a great reading month in October!! Looks like with all that awesome book mail, November will be a good reading month as well. I’ve read a few books by Ana Huang - they are hit or miss for me, but I’ll definitely be reading the striker. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. I appreciate the sticker shout out! Have a great week!!

i love your positivity and really appreciate your encouragement every time Mr.Griffin. I has helped me through a lot of time I feel demotivated the first month I started. I'm so happy to read through the comment and I see how universally you are appreciated😆😆 I also love @CarolynMarieReads‬ and @emmiereads‬. They inspired me to make book videos. I also agree with how daunting it is to first edit yourself through video 😅 I always love how genuine your videos feel.

Hi Stuart! I got "The Bookshop" too. I'm glad your are enjoying it. Looking forward to sharing thoughts on this one.

Great wrap-up, Stuart! How wonderful that you bought Nicole’s books!

'Vampires of El Norte' sounds great, I should search this one out, think I'd really enjoy it. 'The Bookshop': what a fabulous cover - love it. I would definitely enjoy this, I think. Like everyone, I love your wobbles, so cute, quite adorable. Your Arcane Society book boxes look delightful, what a treat. The Nicole Brona books look great, it'll be interesting to see your reviews in the future. Enjoy the new phone. Look after yourself, Stuart. Stay strong & creative.

Oohhh look, my books! 🎉❤ I was wondering who bought the paperbacks! Thank you so much. Nicole Pierman is my given name and Nicole Brona is my urban fantasy pen name, but I don’t hide them from one another. You rocked it! 💪🏻

That wobble is soooo damn cute 🥰 I might look into getting into making wobbles for a stress relief 🤔
