 Alright. Here we are at Geek Girl Con in Seattle. The Con is winding down here on Sunday afternoon October 1st, which means it's time for me to record my monthly wrap-up for September. Subscribership on the ThinkBolt channel has reached 840, which I'm very pleased about. It's still steadily growing, which reminds me that I need to properly thank my sponsors. I'm calling them sponsors now instead of patrons because I've found that when I say the word patrons people think I'm saying Patreon, and I don't use Patreon. So my three faithful sponsors, Darren Vanaria, Greg Pruski, and Kyle Geertz, thank you so much for being paying sponsors here on the ThinkBolt channel and 30 Seconds High and I want to say a special thank you to a viewer, a longtime viewer who's been watching me for five years now. He goes by the name Catch Pegasus on YouTube. He made a very generous one-time donation last month, actually just last week. He's been a regular viewer of the new channel I've created called ThinkBolt Plays, where I'm live streaming the video games that regular viewers would have seen me do last month. I was doing that more and I didn't want to clutter up the ThinkBolt channel with that stuff and it was going to clutter it up because I'm going to play them all the time now. So go check out the ThinkBolt Plays channel and give it a subscribe. It'll help you get more views. There's a link in the description below as always and as always there are links in the description where you can make one-time donations or you can go to my headquarters at 30SecondSciFi.50th.st and become a monthly sponsor. Alright so I did not buy any books in September. I didn't buy any. I've done some reading. The the largest novel I finished was Exigency, which I just published a review of. As far as what I'm reading now, right now I'm working on another one of these tri-chapter book tags. I'm going to read the first couple chapters of five different books and make another one. Those videos, I enjoy those quite a bit. On the drive up here I listen to some audiobooks from LibriVox.org, collections of short stories, of horror stories in particular. One of those was a collection of stories by H.G. Wells. It's called, I believe it's called The Door in the Wall. Is that what I, yeah it's called The Door in the Wall. I didn't listen to all of the stories but the ones I listened to so far were not spectacular. There was one in particular called A Moonlight Fable and at the end of it I was like, what the hell was that? I recommend that you look up that particular story just because it's so bizarre and I think your reaction will be like mine, you'll be like, why? This particular collection also includes the story, The Country of the Blind, which is one of H.G. Wells' best known short stories and I highly recommend it. Very unusual story. As far as what's coming up, before I left I uploaded the latest episode of the 32nd half hour. This time I'll be having a half hour discussion with my fellow YouTuber, Packbilly and by the time you see this on Monday that will have already been uploaded and then Packbilly and I on next Sunday's episode will be discussing 2001 Space Odyssey and then the week after that there'll be another episode with Becky where we will be talking about Stephen King. Speaking of which, I have a review of Christine coming up for Horror Month. Also this past week I published some videos at the 50th Street channel, videos that I took at Rose City Comic Con and I took some extra time to make videos of just artists at the Artist Alley there because the Artist Alley was huge and I've never devoted an entire video just to a montage of artists and I met so many artists that I've known online for years, people who previously have just been names on Tumblr, whom I've never known. I had a great time. There's some clips of it playing while I'm talking here. Please go over there and take a look at that. Give some recognition to the artists and to close out this video I'm going to start a slideshow here of photos of books that I've taken at Powell's. I've visited Powell's a couple of times in the last month both at their downtown location and at their Portland Airport location. They do have a bookstore inside the Portland Airport. Lots of good stuff there too. Lots of good graphic novels, a good science fiction section, even at a little bookstore inside the airport. All right that's it for this episode of Monthly Reads. I will see you back here again with my next book review. Bye. Please remember to press that like button it helps my videos get seen and then subscribe so you can come back next time. I do science fiction book TV and movie reviews all the time and please consider becoming a patron. There's a link in the description below.
