Nerding Out | March 2020

This is another video of me logging in my #NerdingOut

If you don’t know what this series is, every month I try to collect all the nerdy and book related things I do aside from actual reading and I try to log them in and document them. It’s fun to keep track, and hopefully give some ideas. I hope everyone is well. Also please note that the two outings I mentioned were BEFORE we went into self-isolation. Be responsible, stay inside!

Just to make a note, my criticism of the few off-comments near the end of the documentary are more a reflection of my personal experience and frustration with the industry, but as much as it upset me in the documentary’s end-comments I do think it was overall a WONDERFUL documentary and I really loved it. There's also a chance the "bookstore" of imagination might have been a library. I couldn't remember all the details. #Booktube #Booksellers
