Can you do a reading vlog reading only the books that Clay picked for you? Even books from the previous years. It would be so fun, so you can analyse what element do you actually like that Clay thought you would enjoy, and what you didn’t
Clay is the best! My hubby thinks its such a cute idea, but he's scared to go buy books for me...I own so many! But, he's been picking a book a month off of my big TBR shelf for me to read, wrapping it, and giving it to me on the first of the month. Its been fun! I've read some great books this year thanks to him!
It's so fabulous that your husband knows your taste so well. It reminds me that there are so many books in the bookshop that I have never heard of and can be such gems! Happy reading. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these.
Now I totally want to read Let the Dead Bury the Dead as well as The Star & the Strange Moon. Thanks, Clay!! Her Majesty’s Royal Service was so much fun. I agree with Clay, I think you’ll love it. Same with Demon Copperhead. (You married really well, Regan!!)
This is one of my favourite of your videos too! However, I really wish you would include a check in of last year's books too. Whether you've read them yet, and if so what did you think of them.
I love when you and Clay do this video every year and I like seeing his process in his choices. I really should try and see if my husband will do something like this.
You know someone is spouse material if you trust them to buy books for you. I'd trust my husband, too. (He usually uses my lists, because I keep a list for myself of the books I'm most excited to read.)
Clay did an amazing job! I asked my husband If he could do something similar and he just looked at me in horror, primarily because he says there's no way he can figure out what I've already read or already own. LOL Alas!
I wanted thank Clay for buying you Library at the Mount Char the last time. I think it might be my fourth comment here about this book, I just loved it, when I read it after seeing it that video 😂
It's Christmas Eve and most family members are out of town. I'm at my son's alone and came across this. Go Clay, my husband wouldn't have a clue! 😉 Merry Christmas 🎄 🦌
Demon Copperhead is incredible. The audio is also really great! I read it back to back with On the Savage Side by Tiffany McDaniel. That made for a really thought-provoking, if not heartbreaking, reading experience. Great job, Clay!
OMG! Regan! You have got to read Demon Copperhead. It is my third favorite novel ever. So a little backstory, I am originally from California but moved to southwest Virginia with my first husband in 1996. This is about the same time the opioid crisis started here and it’s about when this novel takes place. You do not have to read David Copperfield to read this book. I don’t want to say too much. I want to let the story speak for itself, but it is amazing. I’m also going to inbox you something that I know you will keep to yourself but I don’t want to put it here. It is an amazing , awesome thing that I recently found out!!!!!! I am so excited over this recently acquired information. I can’t even stand it in a good way.😀🎉🎉🥳 Happy reading! 📚📕📘
I read Demon Copperhead for a book club in July, and I loved it! One of the best books I've read this year. Then i read David Copperfield this month for a different book club. It's one of the few Dickens books I've tried that I've enjoyed. I knew Demon was based on David, but people were saying it wasn't a retelling. So I was surprised at how many parallels there were between the stories, and that basically a lot of the same people show up and similar things happen, although differently. For me, I'm glad I read Demon Copperhead first. I was glad I already knew Demon while reading David, and glad I went into Demon fresh.
this is the best series the way i kick my little feet watching y’all interact !!!! this is so fun and Clay takes it so seriously ugh romance is NOT dead
I love this video every year. It is so lovely that the two of you are so focused on what each other is saying it feels like a private conversation we are privileged to observe xx
I recently read Her Majesty’s Royal Coven! It is about the 4 witch friends kind of ganging back up against a threat but there’s a lot of commentary about feminism (and how certain waves of modern feminism are not inclusive of BIPOC and LGBTQ folks). I thought it was really interesting and while I didn’t love it, I’ve heard book 2 is a lot stronger so I’m looking forward to that. Also you and Clay are super cute, I love this idea!
Can you do a dedicated reading vlog reading these? I want to see if these end up living up to your excitement and what Clay's average star rating as a. book shopper
I was telling my husband this evening about watching this video earlier and how wicked smart you are! Haha love your content, thank you always for sharing!! 💕
I love watching your excitement Reagan, this is the cutest video and I love y'all's dynamic the entire time 🥰🥰🥰 I've had The Star and Strange Moon on a radar so I'm excited to hear your thoughts on it!!! I love all the reimagined/alternate history books!!!
Todd here. Sending some love to you two from Michigan. Happy Holidays. I'm glad you That you two have each other Regan and Clay, and you both enjoy reading. Cheers that you both found love.
I always love watching those videos and now you make me want to try it with my husband but I'm a prose snob so I'm thinking of giving him a list to choose from. 😅 I'm very curious to hear you talk about all of those books, they all sound interesting (though I prefer more realistic history than alternate history).
Hey! I haven't read "What the River Knows," but if that summary appealed to you, you should check out the Amelia Peabody Mysteries by Elizabeth Peters. The first book in the series is "Crocodile on the Sandbank." The series takes place mostly in Victorian Egypt, following a family of English Egyptologists who keep stumbling into murder mysteries!! What's really cool is that the author had a doctorate in Egyptology from the University of Chicago, one of the best Egyptology schools in the world, so her books are really well researched!! Many of the characters besides the main family are real-life historical figures (and the main male character, Radcliffe Emerson, is based on a really famous Egyptologist who totally overhauled the field!). And the romance between Amelia and Emerson is just so delightful. The first book is enemies-to-lovers and I ADORED it! It's not spicy at all, so that might not appeal to some, but I don't mind, they're all just so good. 😊
Clay’s little “woohoo!” you saying “husband/we upgraded” was adorable ❤
Can you do a reading vlog reading only the books that Clay picked for you? Even books from the previous years. It would be so fun, so you can analyse what element do you actually like that Clay thought you would enjoy, and what you didn’t
the way that my mouth fell when I saw the title “my HUSBAND” ejfigejfhkeej sorry I have not been keeping up w the blogs but congratulations!!
Ahaha thank you!!
I love these every year! You should do an update video where you share which books you've read from his selections and what your ratings are!
Smart!!!
The care and thought and time…and love…that he put into doing this is amazing! What a gem he is!
Clay is forever one-upping himself with these! Love how thoughtful the picks always are
HUSBAND!!!! the scream i scrumpt because I FORGOT FOR A SINGULAR SECOND
ahahahahahaha
Clay knocked it out of the park this year. I love that he selected many books I never heard of. I want to read Demon Coppehead too.
Clay did sooo well!!! I’m a bookseller at Waterstones in the UK and majority of these books are bestsellers over here!! I’m honestly SO impressed!
Clay is the best! My hubby thinks its such a cute idea, but he's scared to go buy books for me...I own so many! But, he's been picking a book a month off of my big TBR shelf for me to read, wrapping it, and giving it to me on the first of the month. Its been fun! I've read some great books this year thanks to him!
I love that this has become a tradition! Clay is always so thoughtful in his picks, it's so nice to see
It's so fabulous that your husband knows your taste so well. It reminds me that there are so many books in the bookshop that I have never heard of and can be such gems! Happy reading. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on these.
Clay should just start his own book gift giving service. Truly awesome picks!!
The way he looks at you! 🤩 So very sweet. He did fantastic. I added Let the Dead Bury the Dead and The Star and the Strange Moon to my tbr so fast. 😂
Now I totally want to read Let the Dead Bury the Dead as well as The Star & the Strange Moon. Thanks, Clay!! Her Majesty’s Royal Service was so much fun. I agree with Clay, I think you’ll love it. Same with Demon Copperhead. (You married really well, Regan!!)
That deep laugh that you have around Clay is so genuine and sweet! ❤
Clay knocked it out of the park.
Love, love, LOVE this concept ❤️ he knows your tastes so well
This is one of my favourite of your videos too! However, I really wish you would include a check in of last year's books too. Whether you've read them yet, and if so what did you think of them.
Ahh, a great idea! I'd def watch that.
You two are so cute and I love how well Clay knows you/supports your passion!
You guys are such a sweet couple. This is a great idea and Clay did a wonderful job!
I love these videos. So fun and he's so thoughtful with his choices ❤
Clay, you slayed! HMRC is SUCH a *great* book that deserves so much more recognition and Reagan is going to absolutely love it!! :D
Omg I just realised it’s HMRC too… this is funny!
Great picks Clay!! Would love to know your thoughts in a reading vlog “My husband chooses my TBR” 😊
All of these books sound incredible!! Clay always does such a great job in these videos😊😊
" Books By Clay " is a subscription service I would very much like to join 😂
I love when you and Clay do this video every year and I like seeing his process in his choices. I really should try and see if my husband will do something like this.
Clay should recommend books more often, all of these sound incredible!
I love this! The vibes you and Clay give off are so cozy and I love your interactions ❤
The way he looks at her omg💞💞
This is one of my favorite videos yall do. Clay is always so thoughtful with his choices. Some great picks!
you laughed so much in this video, soooo precious, it warmed my heart
The way y’all perfectly describe statistics at 10:48 😂
You know someone is spouse material if you trust them to buy books for you. I'd trust my husband, too. (He usually uses my lists, because I keep a list for myself of the books I'm most excited to read.)
all clay needs is a green hat and he's luigi
I really enjoyed books that Clay chose. Most of them are not mainstream and he put a lot of thoughts into it!
I always love when Clay is more involved in videos like these! I remember watching the first video he ever appeared in properly, time flies 😅
Awww I love how into this he is. What a king!
Nice job Clay! Please do an update video showing what you thought of them. He must've put in the WORK to find so many books you hadn't heard of. Woop!
What the River Knows might just be my favorite book of the year. It was INCREDIBLE! I would die for Inez and Whit 😫
I've been to Book People a couple times after hearing you talk about it! It's such a great bookstore!! I love their selection!
Clay does it again! You guys are the best couple. I love that he knows what you like so well. ❤
This is so cute haha he knows you so well!
Clay did an amazing job! I asked my husband If he could do something similar and he just looked at me in horror, primarily because he says there's no way he can figure out what I've already read or already own. LOL Alas!
I absolutely love these videos every year ! And you guys are the cutest ♥️
I wanted thank Clay for buying you Library at the Mount Char the last time. I think it might be my fourth comment here about this book, I just loved it, when I read it after seeing it that video 😂
I read that one 3 times a few years ago, so unique!!
It's Christmas Eve and most family members are out of town. I'm at my son's alone and came across this. Go Clay, my husband wouldn't have a clue! 😉 Merry Christmas 🎄 🦌
What great options!! Definitely adding many of these to my TBR.
Demon Copperhead is incredible. The audio is also really great! I read it back to back with On the Savage Side by Tiffany McDaniel. That made for a really thought-provoking, if not heartbreaking, reading experience. Great job, Clay!
Your husband is so sweet and I love the way you both connect through books.
OMG! Regan! You have got to read Demon Copperhead. It is my third favorite novel ever.

You do not have to read David Copperfield to read this book.

Watching this video - a fun way to pass the time while I charge my EV ⚡️
Husband goals 😂
HMRC is amazing, lots of important current topics. I think you're going to like it a lot.
Love this tradition! Also Clay has very similar taste to me, I've been eying Same Bed Different Dreams for a while!
I love this video! All these books have been added to my TBR. Thank you Clay!
love love love this !!
I love this video every year! Demon Copperhead was an amazing read. I would suggest listening to the audio book 📖
This is such a fun idea and y’all are so sweet and cute with one another.
Demon Copperhead is my #1 book read this year (out of 164 so far)
this is so cute and wholesome
He is SO good at this 😂
