I really like books. Like a lot. It's in my name. So I talk about books. You're probably here to UwU over my cat, and that's ok too. She doesn't like to read, but she does lick books ... weird ...
It's a channel about books! Get it? With a cat!
Oh, and I occasionally make terrible art & trash rap.
Thank you for taking time to visit my channel...wait...WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY!?!?
I don't do social media, but I guess you can check me out on Goodreads, or join our group Discord if you're into that kind of thing. *shrug*
@MomsBookCollection Never apologize for something that isn't your fault, I appreciate the sentiment, though! I see you have some streams scheduled and some shorts you've posted, is that the new norm for you or are you still on break yourself?
@@reedmorebooks Issue.. i say sorry to EVERYTHING!!! LOL i am Canadian it is in my blood. I do have a few yes, right now the norm but i have some scheduled videos as i am fully coming back September 3rd.
@@MomsBookCollection understood, I have a habit of saying sorry to everything due to low self esteem and constantly feeling like some sort of burden, so it's a habit I have to try to fight lol
Great to see you back. Hope the move went well, moving on your own is so hard. Death of a Bookseller sounded pretty good, I might keep an eye out for that one. I've been reading The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb which is amazing and I finished The Weejee Man, a creepy folk horror that was pretty good.
"Too many books and comics," perish the thought LOL! Great video as always! The technical clarification of what constitutes a "graphic novel" at 2:45 was especially interesting along with the visual explanation, I thought.
:rofl: I'm glad. The joke you made about me when you were talking about "Titsonwater" (sp?) popped into my head while i was getting stuff together for this, and I thought "Why not?" Glad you liked the video, I enjoyed making it more than I expected!
@reedmorebooks the video made me curious about maybe reading more comics and graphic novels, I think they would be perfect for summer as it's when I hit my reading slump, I'd still be reading but I'd have fantastic art to look at. I have some graphic novels and trades on my shelf (my collection is tiny though) so I might start with those. I thought the joke was great, it actually sounded like something I'd say 🤣
Me: Wow, Jonathan Davis does book narration now. 3 seconds later Me: Oh... I bought The Book Eaters a couple of months ago whole browsing the second hand shops, it sounds very intriguing as magical realism is a genre I haven't read a huge amount of. The vampire book and Leviathan sound pretty good, I think I'd enjoy those. I'm in my Summer reading slump, I've read maybe 200 pages in the last 2 weeks, I'm too busy enjoying the wonderful, rainy English summer 🤣 Great video Justin, happy to see you back 🙂
I should recommend Welcome to Night Vale, I think you may like it. It's a good mix of magical realism, sci-fi, comedy and horror. It's based on a podcast, but you don't have to know the podcast to read it. (That said, I 100% recommend the podcast, and it's free of course. I even went to a live show, loved it!) I love rain. I'll glad trade you for our lack of and 100 Fahrenheit heat.
@reedmorebooks I'll check out the podcast and pop the book on my wishlist, your recommendations are generally spot on. I love rain most of the time but a bit of sunshine is nice, 100f is a bit much though. Which state do you live in? (No worries if you want to keep that private).
@@DisquietandDragons-lh3zm It's not something I'm super worried about, but all the same, best not to discuss publicly. I've no problem discussing privately though if you wanna talk on discord
@@reedmorebooks I'll keep an eye out for Soul Music and Small Gods next time I got to the shops. I already have The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic so I've got something to start on at least. Anyone would think you like Small Gods 😂
Great answers, sooo no book has made your cry yet?? thank you for tagging me. I might think about doing this but we will see if not now it will be a very very late tag video 🤣
Afraid not, least not that I recall. I've got How High We Go In the Dark on my TBR, and a lot of people say that does it for em. Well see. I'm just not a media crier. What Dreams May Come did it tho (the film), and Christopher Robin (cause my mom loved Winnie the Pooh, and wanted to see it but died just before it released). No worries, I know you're taking a break, but I've also seen you post a thing or two, so I figured it was something easy and low stress if you wanted.
I would much rather put a book down than make myself miserable. To be fair, I gave them all a fair shot first. I love that pillow, if you want one get at me on Discord and I can point you in the right direction.
We Only Find Them When They're Dead (6:46) sounds interesting, I always like a good space opera. It reminds me a little of Knowhere as depicted in the MCU where they are harvesting the remains of a celestial's noggin, but it takes that similar idea and runs with it in what sounds to be a very intriguing direction. Very cool video!
I really liked the superimposed artwork over the written text at the 4:46 mark as well as the almost hypno disc style artwork that appeared at 6:32 (the music timing there also had an almost Earthbound SNES-style sound that happens when the screen distorts in that game, which felt very appropriate for that page). And the Michael Myers depictions were very well-illustrated, always nice to see horror imagery presented well. Great video! ❤
Awesome job again. Just read the many deaths of Laila Starr. So awesome 👌. Loved upgrade soul and eight billion genies. The art was hard to follow in we only find them when they're dead sometimes. Plus all the red suits and similar faces.
Rachel Rising got me into graphic novels. Then scalped, and Ed Brubaker stuff like fatale and criminal and incognito and kill or be killed. This list will turn any pro readers into comic fans for life
OMG that book of purrs is just made for me, lol ;) I haven't read anything by Kingfisher but am very intrigued. I love historical fiction so maybe this book may be just up my alley. Excellent wrap-up :)
It stinks of fish in here 😂 Great wrap up, A Sorceress Comes to Call sounds just my kind of thing, I love historical horror so I think I'll give it a try. Really enjoying the weekly wrap ups.
This is exactly why I try to be fair enough see the quality in something and not just say "it's bad" just because it doesn't work for me personally. You might like Nettle & Bone too!
I call you butchering the names tooo!!! i would also do the same with many authors. I am currently reading....... wait forgot..... oop nevermind got it. A Court of Mist and Fury (rereading), Happiness Falls (been reading that for a good bit) and Capturing the Devil. KITTTTTTY. You give audiobooks a good chance i HAVE to always speed it up haha. However you did great with this wrap up.
Eight Billion Genies sounds pretty interesting, thats going on my wishlist. If you make another video like this I'd love to know if there are any books about cryptozoology.
Enjoyed the vid, 100% agree on the King Ghidorah comment from Love and Godzilla! Also I especially enjoyed the commentary on the book with Jonesy and also the background music created a very soothing, pleasant ambience.
Nah, most of these were very short reads you could finish in no more than an hour. Only 2 were proper novels and with the one being audio it was real easy to get through while doing chores and traveling etc.
Afraid not, only thing that would even come to mind would be a couple of autobios I've read by musicians I like, but my taste is so niche I highly doubt it's worth even mentioning. Perhaps that's one you're better suited for?
I love my disaster dark lord Davi. The modern day quipp didnt bother me, because it says something about the timeperiod she was snatched away, and i enjoyed the subtle hints of how the fading memory of her earthlife was corrupting them. She keeps so clinging to anything of her earthlife, even if she is now basically immortal.
I disagree. She showed practically no regard for her former life, beyond the extremely rare comment, and wanting the loop to end. And I certainly don't see them "corrupting" the world of the book in any way, her way of thinking yes, again, not yet, but down the road. It's fair enough to suppose and extrapolate, but I didn't see any real page real estate covering any longing for her old life, in fact we found out literally nothing about it, though I assume we will in future books. I really feel the entire "isekai" element could've been lifted out of the book entirely and nothing substantial would've changed, beyond the 11th hr, one sentence reveal. It's not so much the jokes themselves, as the frequency that I found grating (though some were real groaners, ofc humor is subjective). I'm glad you enjoyed the book, I did as well, I just found this element held it back from me loving it vs liking it.
Hey Reed, you take requests? A. Anything by Brandon Sanderson. B. The Lot Lands trilogy by Jonathan French. C. The Greatcoats Series by Sebastian de Castell, and finally D. The Song of the Lioness quadrilogy by Tamora Pearce. Oh, and E. The Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir
Not so much on requests tbh, unless they overlap with books I'm already interested in, or I take interest in. I'm honestly not very interested in Sanderson, but I won't say never. I did try Gideon the Ninth last year, but I was struggling to get into it and ultimately DNFed. It's one I may go back to at some point though, Necromancers in space is a cool idea.
Soon at 100 subscribers. So many books and so little time. The problem with watching other book tubers channels is that it only increases the tbr! Happy reading to you and best wishes to your channel.
