Loved this episode. One suggestion. If you do audio-only, I would still love if every time you mentioned a book, a photo of it would pop up (sorry CJ!) But I just think that can still give the video version an enhanced element.
I was in Halifax the day of the flash floods but we managed to get out the morning of without even knowing it was forcasted. Seeing so many of my friends and family affected by it hurt my heart. I'm glad your house is mostly unaffected and I hope you and your community can work through it with ease. Sending lot's of love from my side of NS
I thought of Ariel and her furniture store book story today when I was at Ikea! 😄 They always have copies of my favorite fantasy series lying around as props (A Man of His Word by Dave Duncan - Canadian author!). They didn't sell well here in Sweden so only book 1-2 of 4 were translated, but the leftover stock of those books 1-2 were clearly sold to Ikea and other furniture stores because that's where I always see them. 😁
Another option would be to take the week off from time to time, I'd be cool with that 🙂 Edit- if you wish to upload audio only episodes periodically that's fine too. For the youtube audience, may I suggest placing a photograph of each of you in the squares where the video is supposed to be? Simply so the audience can remain feeling connected to you, and they can be pre-generated default photos as well. I initially felt a little "closed off" seeing a "screen of nothing" revealed after the intro animation. This is not hate, just an option to consider in the future! 😊
I also read series of unfortunate events out of order as a kid! (Not even sure if I read all of them) My library branch growing up wasn’t the best stocked, and I was listening to the audiobooks, which this was pre audible so it was the second of discs in the back so even less well stocked. The disc player I had at the time would also glitch semi regularly and play chapters out of order, so I honestly have a hard time knowing anything that actually happened in that series and mostly read it for the vibes™️. Perhaps I am also due for a reread!
When you say, that you have a physical copy but are reading an ebook version, did you buy the same book twice or is there a way to get both for the price of one?
I think it would be cool if there was a way to receive a free e-book with the purchase of a physical book! If it hasn't been done yet, and if amazon or indigo or any such company is reading this... please consider making this a THING! 😊
Sharks in the time of saviors is not a happy book and takes place in Hawaii at first but then goes to other (colder) places. Think Ariel made the right choice. Still like that book! Just don’t think it was the vibe she wanted lol
Steinbeck’s description of little Ruby Bridges as one of the first black children to go to a historically white school (amid a crowd of foul-mouthed racists) is one I’ve never forgotten. An excerpt: “Four big marshals got out of each car and from somewhere in the automobiles they extracted the littlest Negro girl you ever saw, dressed in shining starchy white, with new white shoes on feet so little they were almost round. Her face and little legs were very black against the white. The big marshals stood her on the curb and a jangle of jeering shrieks went up from behind the barricades. The little girl did not look at the howling crowd but from the side the whites of her eyes showed like those of a frightened fawn. The men turned her around like a doll, and then the strange procession moved up the broad walk toward the school, and the child was even more a mite because the men were so big. Then the girl made a curious hop, and I think I know what it was. I think in her whole life she had not gone ten steps without skipping, but now in the middle of her first skip the weight bore her down and her little round feet took measured, reluctant steps between the tall guards. Slowly they climbed the steps and entered the school.”
I’m sorry but this is such a laughable thing. Just imaging you taking the time to pause the video and comment this lmfao like bro you and the other ppl who liked this video must be so chronically online lol
@kimberly1661 Wow. I didn't know that their followers were so mean. I was just trying to express that I watch the TH-cam version for the video. If I just wanted to listen I would use the podcast version.
@snailfren That's really mean. I didn't know that their other followers were people who didn't think other should express their opinions. And if you mean watching these videos on Sunday is chronically online then I guess I am, and maybe you are too.

After a stressful week, it's great that you managed to record ANY type of episode. Thank you. 😀

I enjoy listening to your old podcast episodes whilst playing Stardew Valley! In fact, your podcast is the reason why I downloaded Stardew! 😆

Good idea. A photo of Ariel and Raeleen would be a nice touch.
This was a really fun episode

Happy Birthday 🎉 🎈
Happy birthday Val!!! 🥳
Happy Birthday!!!
I love Steinbeck

They probably got an ebook copy from the library

I bought a physical copy at a bookshop a few years ago and then I borrowed the ebook version from my library recently to read it on the go!
Raeleen you’re living the same life. I’ve watched so many hot ones interviews while knitting when I should have been audiobook listening!
The characters game was so funny! 😂
This video of both of you isn’t there. Is this a technical issue?
We explain in the episode that it’s audio only this week 🦆

Sounds great though: Ariel the destroyer of worlds 😂😂😂

No video this week?

@@ArielBissett Aahh okay good to know! Didn't want to get too far into the episode if it was a technical issue
Sorry I didn't watch this episode. I want to see you. That is why I choose the TH-cam version.
So because you care so much about seeing them, you are just skipping the episode entirely, who cares what they have to say? Makes sense..

@connien7064 my apologies for coming across as mean, I didn't mean to be so, your initial comment sounded very different.
