 It is February 28, 2017, which means it's time for me to record my monthly reads video My monthly update video first of all my Subscribership here on YouTube is almost 675 Which is more than I expected last monthly update. I reported that it was 650 but it wasn't quite at the time Subscribership is growing steadily growing and it is growing at a faster rate than it used to just a little bit But I'm pleased about that And I have gained patron number four Thank you for for joining I did not receive permission from him to thank him by name in the video, so Check email get in touch with me The sci-fi book bag deal by the way where if you become a patron at $20 a month You will get a book from me every month in the mail. That's still a deal. You can still get that Nobody's taking me up on it. The one I do have one patron at $20 a month. He has not taken me up on that deal, so It's there one of my patrons contacting me by a direct message over YouTube and I did not see the message. It was some time ago when he sent the message So keep in mind that direct messaging me on YouTube Is not the way to get in touch with me It I probably won't see it the way to get in touch with me for sure is to contact me by email You follow the link in the description below to the 32nd sci-fi page at 50th Street There's a link on that page that says contact me and they'll send you to a contact form This particular patron wanted to send me a book Which is fine. I have set up a PO box through 50th Street That contact page I just mentioned has that mailing address on it So go there get that address if you want to send me something send it there It'll get to me as far as books that I've bought this month As I was preparing this video. I was going to say that I bought two books, but actually I bought three this This was number three. I made a special video just about this Posted just a few days ago. Go look that up. And there's this year's best SF4 Edited by David G. Hartwell. This is one of my favorite anthology series. I like David G. Hartwell's taste in Choices the reason I singled this one out for Purchase was because it contains story of your life by Ted Chang which the recent movie Arrival is based on and I Was very unhappy with the movie Everyone's raving about what an excellent movie it is. Not only did I think it's not an excellent movie I didn't think it was even a good movie. You can look for my review for it. I was really hard on it So I wanted to read this story and I did and it's a lot better than movie At least I thought it was Plus when I opened this book a dollar bonus The other thing I ordered I bought this off eBay like I buy almost everything else The 50-minute hour by Robert Lindner. It's a collection of true stories About people that he psychoanalyzed one of his stories in here is called the jet-propelled couch and it's about a science fiction author that he spent years with and It's it's really an astonishing story. I've read it before It's been a long time and I wanted to read it again So I ordered My copy of the 50-minute hour Speaking of which I Have a new show Here on this channel coming up called the 32nd half hour It'll be a science fiction discussion show where I'll spend each episode Discussing a specific book with another YouTuber I've already recorded two episodes and we're gonna record at least two more Maybe three before the end of this month and hopefully start Putting up the episodes on a weekly basis Starting at the beginning of April. So we'll see any other YouTubers booktubers out there who want to discuss science fiction books Get in touch with me. Let's do it Okay, as far as what I've read this month The only book that I've been reading other than stopping to read a story of your life has been Latro in the Mist which I started At the beginning of January. It's been two months now And I'm almost done almost done with it and then it might be my next review I think it will be my next review as far as what's coming up on this channel There's the 32nd half hour like I just mentioned I just finished taping my next installment in my 2001 Space Odyssey series The previous installment was two years ago Once I'm done recording this I've got several other videos in mind. I'm going to record maybe I'll do them all tonight And maybe some tomorrow. I have more dollar store stuff to talk about. I have more comics to talk about There's more stuff coming.
